A washing machine inner barrel and a washing machine are disclosed, the inner barrel comprises a barrel bottom and a barrel body connected thereto. The barrel bottom comprises a barrel bottom body and a barrel bottom protective cover. The barrel bottom protective cover is hermetically mounted on the bottom of the barrel bottom body so that the entire outer surface of the barrel bottom becomes a smooth surface. The outer surface of the barrel bottom protective cover of the washing machine inner barrel is a smooth flat surface, which is more conductive to the cleaning effect of the particles on the inner barrel bottom. The barrel bottom protective cover is hermetically connected with the bottom of the barrel bottom body so that a reinforcing rib structure is in an enclosed space to prevent washing water from entering the reinforcing rib structure.
