  • washing machines are home appliances, which wash laundry
  • drying machines are home appliances, which dry wet laundry.
  • complex home appliances which have both of functions of a washing machine and a drying machine, have been widely used.
  • washing machines, drying machines, and home appliances which have both of functions of a washing machine and drying machine, are commonly called laundry machines.
  • the laundry machines are generally divided into a top loading type and a front loading type according to the positions of laundry loaded into the machines. Further, the laundry machines are divided into a vertical axis type, in which a drum or a pulsator is rotated, and a horizontal type, in which a horizontally-laid drum is rotated, according to washing methods.
  • Such horizontal type laundry machines include a drum washing machine or a drum drying machine.
  • the conventional laundry machines are mounted directly on a floor; that is, the typical mounting surface of a conventional laundry machine is the floor.
  • a conventional front loading type laundry machine is provided with a low input, and thus causes an inconvenience of putting and taking laundry into and out of the laundry machine to a user. Accordingly, it is necessary to raise the height of the inlet of the laundry machine.
  • a housing 100 may be installed under a laundry machine 10 for the purpose of raising the height of the laundry machine 10 , as shown in FIG. 1 .
  • the vibration of the laundry machine 10 is further increased in comparison to when the housing 100 is not used.
  • the present invention is directed to a laundry machine.
  • One advantage of the present invention is to provide a laundry machine, which can reduce vibration even though a housing is provided.
  • a laundry machine comprises a housing provided between a washing tub unit and a mounting surface, on which a cabinet containing the washing tub unit is installed; and dynamic vibration absorbers provided to the housing, and configured to offset vibration transmitted from the washing tub unit.
  • Each of the dynamic vibration absorbers may include a mass body having a designated mass; and elastic members configured to elastically suspend the mass body.
  • the housing may include side panels forming respective outer walls; and the dynamic vibration absorbers may be provided between the side panels.
  • the dynamic vibration absorbers may be provided adjacent to an upper surface of the housing.
  • the laundry machine may further comprise a moving body received in the housing or drawn out of the housing.
  • An inner space for receiving articles may be formed in the moving body.
  • the dynamic vibration absorbers may be provided between an upper surface of the moving body and an upper panel of the housing.

  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a laundry machine, which, in accordance with the present invention, comprises a housing provided with dynamic vibration absorbers.
  • the laundry machine 10 of the present invention includes a cabinet 1 forming the external appearance of the laundry machine 10 , and a washing tub unit 2 provided in the cabinet 1 .
  • the cabinet 1 includes a front cover 12 (with reference to FIG. 1 ) forming the front surface of the cabinet 1 , cabinet sides 16 forming both side surfaces of the cabinet 1 , a cabinet rear (not shown) forming the rear surface of the cabinet 1 , a top plate 18 forming the top surface of the cabinet 1 , and a base 1 a forming the bottom surface of the cabinet 1 .
  • a door 7 is provided on the front cover 12 (both with reference to FIG. 1 ) of the cabinet 1 , and a control panel 8 (with reference to FIG. 1 ) for allowing a user to operate the laundry machine 10 is provided on the upper portion of the front surface of the cabinet 1 .
  • the washing tub unit 2 includes a tub 2 a configured to store washing water, and a drum 2 b rotatably disposed in the tub 2 a.
  • the tub 2 a and the drum 2 b are respectively provided with openings such that the openings are communicated with the outside so as to put and take laundry into and out of the washing tub unit 2 when the door 7 is opened. Further, the drum 2 b is rotated by a motor (not shown), and is provided with a plurality of lifters 3 a formed on the inner surface of the drum 2 b , thus performing washing of the laundry by a method, in which the laundry in the drum 2 b is lifted up and then is dropped when the drum 2 b is rotated.
  • the washing tub unit In the case that a door of a laundry machine is formed on the front surface of a cabinet, and the legs of the cabinet are mounted on a floor, a user must bend over so as to put or take laundry into or out of the washing tub unit. Accordingly, in order to prevent the user from excessively bending over, the washing tub unit needs to be located at a designated height suitable for a user's ease of use.
  • a housing 100 is installed between the washing tub unit 2 of the laundry machine 10 and a mounting surface of the laundry machine 10 .
  • the housing 100 has a predetermined height, and thus raises the height of the washing tub unit 2 .
  • the housing 100 has an approximately hexahedral shape, and the cabinet 1 , provided with the washing tub unit 2 therein, is mounted on the upper surface of the housing 100 .
  • a moving body 140 such as a drawer, is further provided in the housing 100 .
  • the moving body 140 can be received in the housing 100 , or be drawn out of the housing 100 .
  • the moving body 140 is provided with an inner space formed therein for receiving articles, so as to receive articles necessary to wash the laundry, or form a washing space separately from the washing tub unit 2 provided in the cabinet 1 .
  • the housing 100 is formed by connecting side panels 104 to the side surfaces of a base panel 102 , provided with legs 190 formed on the lower surface thereof, and connecting an upper panel 106 to the upper surfaces of the side panels 104 .
  • Legs 190 may include anti-vibration members, similar to those that may be found in legs 9 .
  • a rear surface, not shown, may be provided.
  • An opening 12 for passing the moving body 140 therethrough is formed at the front of the housing 100 .
  • the opening 12 may be bordered by base panel 102 , right and left side panels 104 , and upper panel 106 .
  • the laundry machine 10 may be raised by a predetermined height by use of the housing 100 . Because the laundry machine 10 is raised, the washing tub unit 2 , within the laundry machine 10 , is also raised. Raising the laundry machine 10 , with its included washing tub unit 2 , allows a user to put or take laundry into or out of the washing tub unit 2 with less bending over than if the laundry machine 10 had not been raised by use of the housing 100 . Therefore, use of the housing 100 , in combination with the laundry machine 10 , decreases a user's discomfort due to bending and thereby increases a user's convenience.
  • vibration generated from a laundry machine placed on top of a housing is much higher than vibration generated from a laundry machine that is placed directly on a floor (i.e., without a housing).
  • the conventional practice of reducing vibration of a combined laundry machine and housing mainly considered only the vibration of the laundry machine; the vibration of the housing was not considered.
  • the support offered by the housing 100 is relatively weak, and the housing 100 has a resonant frequency lower than that of the laundry machine. Accordingly, the housing is easily resonated. Therefore, when a separate conventional housing is used in a conventional manner, the vibration of the laundry machine 10 is highly increased.
  • Anti-vibration members of the legs 9 of the laundry machine can reduce, to some degree, the transmission of the vibration, generated from the laundry machine, to the housing, but cannot completely reduce the transmission of the vibration. Because the housing has a low resonant frequency, it is relatively easily resonated. Accordingly, when the laundry machine is mounted on the housing, even if a small displacement is generated due to the vibration of the housing, the upper portion of the laundry machine has a high displacement. Thus, in the case that a conventional housing is used, the laundry machine, particularly the upper portion of the laundry machine, is highly vibrated transversally.
  • a housing 100 may be provided between a washing tub unit 2 and a mounting surface 6 (such as a floor), on which a cabinet 1 containing the washing tub unit 2 is installed.
  • Dynamic vibration absorbers 200 may be provided to the housing 100 .
  • the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 are configured to offset the vibration transmitted from the washing tub unit 2 .
  • Each of the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 includes a mass body 210 having a designated mass, and elastic members 220 configured to elastically suspend the mass body 210 therebetween.
  • the elastic members 220 may be comprised of coil springs, compressed coil springs, expanded coil springs, or combinations thereof. Further, the elastic members 220 may be made of other materials having elasticity.
  • the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 may be comprised of a pendulum type dynamic vibration absorber, a torsional dynamic vibration absorber, a multi-mass type dynamic vibration absorber, a cantilever type dynamic vibration absorber, or combinations thereof.
  • the mass body 210 suspended by the elastic members 220 is shaken by the vibration transmitted to the housing 100 , and thus offsets vibration energy, thereby reducing the entire vibration of the housing 100 and the laundry machine 10 .
  • the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 are installed adjacent to the upper surface of the housing 100 . More specifically, the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 are installed between the side panels 104 and are positioned adjacent to the upper surface of the housing 100 , without interfering therewith. Further, in order to prevent the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 from interfering with the moving body 140 (e.g., a drawer), which is received in the housing 100 or is drawn out of the housing 100 , the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 may be installed between a lower surface of the upper panel 106 and an upper surface of the moving body 140 .
  • the moving body 140 e.g., a drawer
  • the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 may be provided between the rear surface of the moving body 140 and the rear surface of the housing 100 .

  • the mass of the mass body 210 and the modulus of elasticity of the elastic members 220 are properly determined in consideration of the specific frequency of vibration of the housing 100 and the frequency of vibration applied to the housing 100 .
  • the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 are installed in the transversal direction of the housing 100 . At least one reason for this positioning is that the transversal vibration of the laundry machine 10 and the housing 100 , among the vibrations of the laundry machine 10 due to the rotation of a motor, is the greatest from the structural point of view. Of course, when the direction of the vibration to be reduced is changed, the installation direction of the dynamic vibration absorbers 200 may be reevaluated and a new installation direction may be properly determined.
  • the housing 100 may be made of a frame other than the panels.

  • a moving body such as moving body 140 ( FIG. 4 ) may be provided in the frame type housing 300 , such that the moving body can be received in the housing 300 or be drawn out of the housing 300 .

Further, moving elements, such as the mass body 410 and the elastic members 420 in each of the dynamic vibration absorbers 400 , are isolated from the outside by the case 430 , thereby preventing the generation of interference due to foreign substances covering the moving elements, and thus increasing the reliability of the dynamic vibration absorbers 400 .
