Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry machine.
  • a laundry machine includes a drum that is oriented-rotatable therein. Once wash water and detergent are mixedly loaded into the laundry machine, the drum rotates and washing operation is performed.
  • a laundry machine includes a cabinet; a first tub having at least predetermined portion directly connected to the cabinet; a second tub provided underneath the first tub, relative movable with respect to the first tub, the second tub receiving wash water together with the first tub; and a drum rotatable about a vertical shaft within the first and second tubs.
  • a laundry machine in another aspect of the present invention, includes a cabinet; a first tub provided in the cabinet; and a second tub connected to the first tub via a vibration transmission preventing member, the second tub comprising a vibration emitting source.
  • the tub provided in the laundry machine is directly connected to the cabinet.
  • the capacities of the drum and tub may be enlarged without enlarging the exterior appearance of the cabinet.
  • FIG. 1 is a side sectional view illustrating an inner configuration of a laundry machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention
  • FIG. 3 is a side sectional view illustrating an inner configuration of a laundry machine according to a third embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a side sectional view illustrating a damping member according to an embodiment of the present invention provided in the laundry machine of the above embodiments;
  • FIG. 6 is a plane view of FIG. 5 ;
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view illustrating a damping member according to another embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a side sectional view illustrating a damping member according to a further embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 is a side sectional view illustrating an inner configuration of a laundry machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • a laundry machine includes a cabinet 10 , a first tub 20 and a second tub 30 .
  • the first and second tubs 20 and 30 are provided in the cabinet 10 .
  • the tub of the laundry machine includes the first tub 20 and the second tub 30 .
  • a vibration emitting source is provided in the second tub 30 .
  • the tub according to this embodiment is configured of the first and second tubs 20 and 30 , not integrally formed of a single member.
  • the first and second tubs 20 and 30 will be described in detail later.
  • the above vibration emitting source is referenced to as a configuration generating vibration and it may be corresponding to a motor 50 rotating the drum 40 according to this embodiment.
  • vibration may be transmitted to the first tub 20 via the second tub 30 . Then, if at least some part of the first tub 20 is directly connected to the second tub 30 , the vibration generated from the motor 50 may be transmitted to the cabinet via the first tub 20 as it is.
  • the second tub 30 is connected to the first tub 20 via a vibration transmission preventing member 22 able to absorb the vibration.
  • the vibration transmission preventing member 22 may be configured of any material able to absorb vibration.

  • the drum 40 has a cylindrical shape with an open top.
  • at least one balance weight 42 and 44 may be provided in upper and lower portions of an inner surface of the drum 40 .
  • Such the balance weight 42 and 44 would be provided in an outer surface of the drum 40 .
  • space corresponding to the thickness of the balance weight should be further provided outside the drum 40 . Because of that, it is preferable in consideration of the enlarged capacity of the drum 40 that the balance weight is provided in an inner surface of the drum 40 .
  • At least one auxiliary balance weight 26 may be provided underneath the second tub 30 . If the auxiliary balance weight 26 is provided underneath the second tub 30 , the balance weight 30 secured the second tub 30 only to reduce the vibration generated by the motor 50 , such that the vibration transmitted to the first tub 20 from the second tub 30 may be reduced substantially.
  • the vibration of the second tub 30 generated by the motor 50 may be prevented from being transmitted to the first tub 20 efficiently.
  • the transmission toward the first tub 20 is prevented and thus it is possible to dispose the first tub 20 closer to the cabinet 10 than the tub provided in the conventional laundry machine.

  • a predetermined portion of the first tub 120 is directly connected to the inner surface of the cabinet 10 , oblique toward the other portion to a predetermined angle.
  • a side upper portion of the first tub 120 is directly connected to the inner surface of the cabinet, being oblique toward a side lower portion to a predetermined angle from the inner surface of the cabinet 10 .
  • a side upper portion of the first tub 120 is directly connected to the inner surface of the cabinet 10 and a side lower portion of the first tub 120 is simply spaced apart from the inner surface of the cabinet.
  • the second tub 130 may be provided under the bottom of the first tub spaced apart a predetermined distance from the cabinet 10 . Similar to the above embodiment, the first tub 120 is connected to the second tub 130 via a vibration transmission preventing member 122 .
  • the lower portion of the first tub 120 is spaced apart from the inner surface of the cabinet 10 .
  • the space occupied by the drum 40 may be enlarged remarkably.
  • FIG. 3 is a side sectional view illustrating a configuration of a laundry machine according to a third embodiment of the present invention. According to this embodiment, an overall outer portion of a first tub 220 is directly connected to other cabinet 10 , which is different from the above embodiments.
  • an overall outer surface of the first tub 220 is directly connected to the inner surface of the cabinet 10 such that space utility for the cabinet may be maximized. That is, it is possible to enlarge the capacity of the drum 40 as much as possible. Even in this case, a second tub 230 is connected to the first tub 220 via a vibration transmission preventing member 222 .
  • the second tub is connected to the first tub via the vibration transmission preventing member 22 , 122 and 222 .
  • the vibration transmission preventing member 22 , 122 and 222 When wash water is supplied to the first and second tubs, the vibration transmission preventing member 22 , 122 and 222 is submerged in the wash water. Then, the vibration transmission preventing member 22 , 122 and 222 may be directly pressured by the load of the wash water. If the wash water applies the pressure directly to the vibration transmission preventing member 22 , 122 and 222 , there would be deformity of the vibration transmission preventing member 22 , 122 and 222 or as worse damage or breakage therein which might cause water leakage.
  • a configuration for solving such a problem will be described as follows.
  • FIG. 4 is a side sectional view illustrating a configuration of a laundry machine according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a side sectional view illustrating a configuration of a laundry machine according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
  • a second tub 330 includes a supporting part 332 supporting the drum 40 and an extending part 334 extending toward a first tub 320 from an end of the supporting part 332 to be eventually connected to the first tub 320 .

  • the extending part 334 extends toward a lower end of the first tub 320 from the second tub 330 .
  • a vibration transmission preventing member 324 may be provided between an end of the extending part 334 and the lower end of the first tub 320 .
  • the height of the extending part 334 is set higher than a maximum water level of the wash water received in the second tub 330 . This is because the vibration transmission preventing member 324 connecting the extending part 334 to the first tub 320 should not be submerged in the wash water. as a result, water pressure may not applied to the vibration transmission preventing member 324 by the wash water as mentioned above and there may be no deformity or damage of the vibration transmission preventing member 324 caused by the water pressure.
