A laundry treating apparatus is provided. The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum accommodated in the cabinet, and a dynamic absorber provided to absorb oscillation of the cabinet. The dynamic absorber includes a first moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet and a second moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet. Each of the first and second moving masses includes a single mass made of a metal material or a mass in which a plurality of thin metal plates are coupled to overlap each other, and the first moving mass has a mass greater than that of the second moving mass.

Laundry treating apparatus

A laundry treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a cabinet; a drum accommodated in the cabinet; a tub configured to accommodate the drum; and a dynamic absorber provided to absorb oscillation of the cabinet, wherein the dynamic absorber includes: a support plate coupled to the cabinet; and a moving mass placed movably on the support plate to absorb oscillation transferred to the cabinet, and a partition wall configured to partition a top surface of the support plate, on which the moving mass is placed, into a first accommodation part and a second accommodation part protrudes from the top surface of the support plate.

A laundry treating apparatus is provided. The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum accommodated in the cabinet, a tub accommodating the drum, and a dynamic absorber provided to absorb oscillation of the cabinet. The dynamic absorber includes a support plate coupled to the cabinet, a first moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet, and a second moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet. To absorb the oscillation, a time point at which the second moving mass starts relative motion with respect to the support plate is different from that at which the first moving mass starts relative motion with respect to the support plate.

A laundry treating apparatus is provided. The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum accommodated in the cabinet, a tub accommodating the drum, and a dynamic absorber provided to absorb oscillation of the cabinet. The dynamic absorber includes a support plate coupled to the cabinet, a moving mass provided on the support plate, and a slider interposed between the moving mass and the support plate to apply a frictional force to attenuate a reciprocating motion of the moving mass.

The laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet, a drum accommodated in the cabinet, a tub accommodating the drum, and a dynamic absorber provided to absorb oscillation of the cabinet. The dynamic absorber includes a support plate coupled to the cabinet, a first moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet, and a second moving mass movably provided on the support plate to absorb oscillation transmitted to the cabinet. A support comes into line or point contact with a bottom surface of the first moving mass so that the first moving mass has reduced attenuation ratio in comparison to the second moving mass.
