A supporting structure of a tub for a laundry machine is provided. The laundry machine includes a cabinet to form an outer appearance having a base, a tub arranged in the cabinet, a drum rotatably placed in the tub, a suspension that flexibly supports the drum, and a support, separate from the suspension, provided at the base to support vertically a weight of the tub. Due to the supporting structure of the laundry machine, a capacity of the tub of the laundry machine is increased. A support stability of the capacity-increased tub is enhanced by vertically supporting the weight of the tub.

Supporting structure of tub for a laundry machine

The present invention relates to a laundry machine for treating laundry. One embodied laundry machine may have an opening in the rear of the tub. A flexible material is connected between the drive assembly and the rear opening of the tub for sealing therebetween. The flexible material allows the drive assembly to move or vibrate relatively to the tub. The flexible material may be referred to as a flexible sealer.

Laundry machine having a flexible sealer

A laundry machine is disclosed. The bearing housing and the suspensions may be distant from each other with respect to a radial direction as well as an axial direction of the shaft. As a result, the suspension unit may include a radial bracket extended radially or axial bracket extended axially.

Laundry machine

A laundry machine is disclosed. A laundry machine includes a tub () to hold water therein, a drum () provided in the tub (), a shaft () connected to the drum (), passing the tub (), a bearing housing () secured to the tub (), the bearing housing () supporting the shaft () and a motor (M) rotating the shaft (), and a water seal () provided between the tub () and the bearing housing () to maintain gas tight of the bearing housing () and of the shaft (). As a result the laundry machine may improve capacity of the tub () and maintain gas tight of the tub () efficiently.

The present invention relates to a laundry machine for treating laundry. One embodiment of the laundry machine may include a water supply valve, a drum () in which laundry is placed, a tub () in which the drum () is rotatably placed, the tub () having an extended portion () which extends forward and have an opening at a front portion thereof for laundry entrance, and a tub water supply portion (), and a water supply line to guide water from the water supply valve to the tub water supply portion ().

A washing machine for washing laundry is provided. The washing machine includes a tub to hold washing water, a drum in the tub to hold laundry, a rotational shaft connected to a rear surface of the drum, a tub back, which forms a rear side of the tub and through which the rotational shaft passes, a bearing housing that supports the rotational shaft, and a suspension that buffers and supports the bearing housing. A vibration sensor senses vibration of a structure supported by the suspension, thereby enabling control of rotation of the drum based on the sensed vibration.

The present application relates to a laundry machine for washing laundry, including a tub for holding washing water, the tub including at least one fastener for fastening and wiring a wire harness along an outside surface thereof, a drum in the tub for holding laundry, a rotation shaft connected to a rear surface of the drum, a tub back which forms a rear side of the tub and through which the rotation shaft passes, a bearing housing for supporting the rotation shaft, a rear gasket connected between the tub and the tub back, and a suspension unit for supporting the bearing housing.

A manufacturing method of a laundry machine is disclosed. The manufacturing method of the laundry machine includes a suspension preparing step configured to prepare a suspension unit () configured to flexibly support a drum (), a tub rear securing step configured to secure a tub rear () to the suspension unit (), a drum securing step configured to a shaft () or the drum () to the suspension unit () via an inside of the tub rear (), a tub front coupling step configured to couple a tub front () to the tub rear (), a tub seating step configured to seat the tub front () and the tub rear () in a cabinet cabinet base ()and a suspension securing step configured to secure the suspension unit to the cabinet base ().
