The fixing structure includes an elastic member and a movable element which are located in one of the main body or the movable part. The movable element includes at least one protruding end, which is received in another of the main body and the movable part, the movable element cooperates with the elastic member to fix the movable part at least in the closed position, and the movable element acquires a moving space by squeezing the elastic member. During the opening and closing of the movable part, the wear-resistant movable element replaces the elastic element to cause friction with the movable part, which improves the wear resistance and service life of the appliance.
