cavity

51A and 61A, so that the sealing connection between the

flanges

51B and 61B and the ring hole 82 improves the sealing performance of the corresponding through hole 12, and ensures that the first and second

vibration damping assemblies

50 and 60 are respectively connected with the transmission shaft 30 and the supporting shaft 40 and apply sufficient supporting force, thereby effectively damping the vibration of the transmission shaft 30 and the supporting shaft 40 caused by the operation of the inner tube 20.

cylindrical dampers

53, 63 which are disposed at both sides of the spring

cylindrical damper

52, 62 at the same angle of, for example, 30 °, the other end of each spring

cylindrical damper

52, 62 and each damper

cylindrical damper

53, 63 is provided with a fixing end fixed to the casing, at which a stud or bolt, etc. can be provided and fixed to a screw hole corresponding to the casing, since the inner tube 20 contains laundry, which generates unbalance in the inner tube 20 when the laundry is rotated, and the unbalance causes the amplitude of the inner tube 20 to be particularly protruded at the time of high-speed rotation, in which case the amplitude is reduced or even eliminated by each cylindrical damper, in particular, the amplitude is transmitted to the cylindrical damper of the first damper assembly 50 by the bearing 90 disposed in the first damper assembly 50, and, by setting each cylindrical damper as the above spring cylindrical damper 52, which is disposed at a certain angle, The 62 and the damping cylindrical vibration absorbers 53 and 63 provide good vibration damping effect for the transmission shaft 30 and the support shaft 40 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction through repeated tests, and further, the vibration of the inner cylinder 20 and the driving device 70 is greatly weakened or even basically eliminated when being transmitted to the machine shell after being subjected to vibration damping treatment by the cylindrical vibration absorbers, thereby greatly reducing the noise of the drum washing machine during operation.

In one embodiment, each fixed end is located at the same horizontal plane and fixed with the bottom of the casing, since the whole weight of the drum washing machine is concentrated on the outer drum 10 and the inner drum 20 and the accessory parts located thereon, and the stability is higher according to the object with the lower gravity center, the outer drum 10, the inner drum 20 and each vibration damping component can be located at the position with the lower gravity center inside the drum washing machine by fixing each fixed end with the bottom of the casing, thereby greatly helping the dynamic stability of the washing machine, not causing the casing to vibrate and make noise greatly, and greatly optimizing the noise vibration of the whole machine.
