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

The patent application refers to a washing machine including a cabinet rear () which forms a rear side of the washing machine, a tub () for holding washing water, a drum () rotatably mounted to the tub (), a drum (), a bearing housing () for rotatably supporting the rotation shaft (), a motor for rotating the rotation shaft (), and a suspension assembly () for supportably buffering vibration of the drum (), wherein the washing machine further includes a coupling portion () which is a projection from an outside surface of a rear side of the tub () for fastening to the cabinet rear ().

Washing machine

A laundry machine is disclosed. The laundry machine includes a tub configured to receive wash water, a drum rotatably installed in the tub, a shaft connected with the drum, a bearing housing () configured to support the shaft, a tub back () coupled to inner and outer circumferences of a front surface of the bearing housing (), a rear gasket connected between the tub back () and the tub and a suspension unit configured to support vibration of the drum suspendingly.

A laundry machine is provided that includes a tub that holds washing water, a drum rotatably mounted in the tub, a drive having a rotational shaft connected to the drum, a bearing housing that rotatably supports the rotational shaft, a motor that rotates the rotational shaft, and a suspension assembly that supportably buffers vibration of the drum. An up/down direction height of a front of the tub is greater than a left/right direction width of the tub.

A laundry machine for treating laundry is disclosed. The laundry machine includes a front gasket having a structure capable of effectively preventing leakage of wash water or effectively preventing laundry or foreign matter from being introduced between a tub and a drum.

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 laundry machine is disclosed. The laundry machine includes a tub comprising a front surface part () having an opening formed in a center thereof to introduce laundry therein, a drum rotatably provided in the tub, the drum having an opening formed therein to load the laundry therein, and a gasket () provided between an inner surface of the front surface of the tub and a front end of the opening of the drum. The gasket () comprises a plurality of ribs () arranged along a radial direction.

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.

A laundry machine is provided that includes a tub to receive wash water, a drum rotatably disposed in the tub, a shaft connected to the drum, a bearing housing to support the shaft, a tub back including a rim that extends in a front to rear direction and coupled to the bearing housing at a front thereof, a rear gasket coupled to the rim of the tub back, and a suspension configured to reduce vibration of the drum. The rear gasket is connected between the tub back and the tub rear.

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 ().

Manufacturing method of laundry machine

A drum type washing machine is provided which includes a tub having a fastening part formed on a rear wall thereof, a stator fastened to the fastening part of the tub, the stator having a core part having teeth formed thereon, a coil wound around the teeth, a first insulator that covers a front surface of the core part and a second insulator that covers a rear surface of the core part, a stator rib formed on a front surface of the first insulator, and a supporting part that projects from the rear wall of the tub that supports the stator rib in an up-and-down direction when the stator is fastened to the fastening part of the tub.
