The tub 200 is a part where the wash water is drained and can receive the wash water from the water supply device 700 and discharge the wash water to the outside of the cabinet 100 through the drain device 800. To this end, a water supply device 700 may be connected to the upper part of the tub 200, and a drainage device 800 may be connected to the lower part of the tub 200.

At this time, the tub 200 may protrude forward from the front surface of the rear panel 110. For example, the tub 200 may have a cylindrical shape with its side wall gradually increasing in diameter toward the front. In addition, the tub 200 may be made of substantially the same material as the back panel 110, for example, a synthetic resin material, and may be manufactured through a single insert injection process. However, this is merely an example, and the tub 200 may be manufactured as a separate member and then joined to the front surface of the rear panel 110.

The tub front cover 300 may be installed on the front surface of the tub 200 and may form an internal space in which the drum 400 is disposed. At this time, the tub front cover 300 may be divided into a tub coupling portion 310 and a gasket coupling portion 320.

The gasket coupling portion 320 is coupled to the gasket 500 and is provided radially inward of the tub coupling portion 310 to be fitted into the fitting portion 570 of the gasket 500 to be described later. The gasket coupling portion 320 may be formed to have a diameter equal to the diameter of the rear side wall 321 and the diameter of the front side wall 321. In order to improve the coupling force between the gasket coupling portion 320 and the fitting portion 570 of the gasket 500, (322) may be formed in a stepped shape in which the diameter is reduced in multiple steps.

The drum 400 may be rotatably installed in the tub 200 as a portion to be washed by receiving the laundry. In addition, the drum 400 can be supplied with the washing water that has been dumped into the tub 200 through the washing water inflow hole formed in the outer circumferential surface.

The driving shaft 410 may be coupled to the drum 400. The driving shaft 410 may be connected to a driving unit 600 disposed on the rear surface of the rear panel 110 to receive power.

The gasket 500 can assist the opening operation of the door 131 while sealing the gap between the cabinet 100 and the tub 200 and allow the foreign material to be introduced into the space between the tub front cover 300 and the drum 400 Can be prevented.

The gasket 500 is fitted into the gasket coupling portion 320 of the tub front cover 300 such that at least a portion of the outer side surface of the gasket 500 is selectively in contact with the door 131, 320, respectively. For example, the gasket 500 may have a diameter corresponding to the diameter of the gasket coupling portion 320, a donut shape having an open center portion, and may be formed of a rubber material having a predetermined elastic force.

Specifically, the gasket 500 includes a door contact portion 510, a first extending portion 520, a second extending portion 530, a third extending portion 540, a first projecting rib 550, 560 < / RTI >

The door contact portion 510 can be selectively brought into close contact with the door 131 according to the opening and closing operation of the door 131 and can be opened and closed using the restoring force generated when the door 131 is bent backward by the door 131 . ≪ / RTI >

To this end, the door contacting portion 510 may be formed to be inclined to more than 90 degrees and less than 100 degrees with respect to the first extending portion 520. [ At this time, when the door contacting portion 510 is inclined at 90 degrees or less with respect to the first extending portion 520, the restoring force generated in the door contacting portion 510 is small, so that the door contacting portion 510 opens the door 131 I can not help. In addition, when the door contacting portion 510 is inclined at 100 degrees or more with respect to the first extending portion 520, the sealing effect between the door contacting portion 510 and the door 131 is reduced, The door contact portion 510 may be deformed or damaged.

Specifically, the door contacting portion 510 can be divided into a connecting portion 511, a contacting portion 512, and a concave groove 513. [

The connecting portion 511 is connected to the first extending portion 520 to support the bending operation of the contacting portion 512 and extends from the first extending portion 520 to the outside of the tub front cover 300 in the radial direction .

The contact portion 512 can be bent backward and brought into close contact with the door 131 by contact with the door 131 when the door 131 is closed. To this end, the contact portion 512 may protrude radially inward of the tub front cover 300 from the connecting portion 511. [

In this way, when the door 131 is closed, as the contact portion 512 is bent backward by the contact with the door 131, the contact portion 512 can receive a restoring force to return to the original position, The restoring force can make the contact portion 512 and the door 131 more closely contact each other. Therefore, a strong sealing between the contact portion 512 and the door 131 is possible and the restoring force generated in the contact portion 512 is transmitted to the door 131 while pushing the door 131 forward when the door 131 is opened. Can be assisted.

In order to improve the bending ability of the contact portion 512, a groove 513 may be formed between the connection portion 511 and the contact portion 512. This concave groove 513 is, for example, a concave portion formed on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting portion 511 and the outer circumferential surface of the contact portion 512 inwardly. The contact portion 512 may be formed to have a smaller sectional area as the distance from the connection portion 511 increases so that the contact portion 512 can be easily moved rearward with respect to the connection portion 511 about the concave groove 513 As shown in Fig.

The first extending portion 520 may extend rearward from the end of the door contacting portion 510 and the second extending portion 530 may extend from the end of the first extending portion 520 to a radius of the tub front cover 300 And the third extending portion 540 may extend rearward from the end of the second extending portion 530. [

The second extension part 530 and the third extension part 540 are bent at a plurality of ends from the end of the first extension part 520 so that when the door 131 is closed, The buffering action between the tubs 200 can be achieved.

Meanwhile, the rear end of the third extension portion 540 extending rearward from the end of the second extension portion 530 may be exposed to the outside of the tub front cover 300. The gap between the tub front cover 300 and the drum 400 can be closely contacted by the rear side end portion of the third extending portion 540 and the end of the third extending portion 540 can be brought into close contact with the tub front cover 300, the gap between the tub front cover 300 and the drum 400 can be more closely adhered to each other.

The first protruding rib 550 may protrude radially inward from the third extending portion 540 of the tub front cover 300. The first protruding rib 550 is formed to have a length T1 that is connected to the distal end of the drum 400. When the user opens the door 131 and stores the laundry in the drum 400, The foreign object is caught by the first protruding rib 550 even if a foreign object such as a coin is drawn out so that the space formed by the second extending portion 530, the third extending portion 540 and the first protruding rib 550 Respectively.

Even if the foreign matter present in the drum 400 is thrown out of the drum 400 during the dewatering process, the first protruding rib 550 is clogged with foreign matter, so that the foreign matter is prevented from entering into the gap between the tub front cover 300 and the drum 400 There is no fear of getting into a gap. Thus, the space formed by the second extending portion 530, the third extending portion 540, and the first projecting rib 550 can be referred to as a first foreign material receiving groove A.

The second protruding rib 560 may protrude radially inward from the third extending portion 540 at a position spaced rearward from the first protruding rib 550. At this time, the second protruding ribs 560 may be formed to have a length smaller than the length T1 of the first protruding rib 550 and a small cross-sectional area. However, this is merely an example, and the spirit of the present invention is not limited thereto. If necessary, the second protruding ribs 560 may be formed to have a length in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the drum 400.

In addition, even if a foreign object such as a clip having a size smaller than that of a coin is thrown out from the drum 400 and a foreign object is drawn into a gap between the leading end of the drum 400 and the first protruded rib 550, Is blocked by the second protruding ribs 560, it can be prevented from entering the gap between the tub front cover 300 and the drum 400. Therefore, a space formed by the first protruding ribs 550 and the second protruding ribs 560 can be referred to as a second foreign material mounting groove B.

In addition, the washing water stored in the drum 400 during the washing cycle can be accommodated in the second foreign substance receiving groove B, which sprays onto the door 131 side. At this time, although not shown, the washing water accommodated in the second foreign matter receiving groove (B) can be drained through a drain hole provided in the second foreign matter receiving groove (B).
