Suspension assembly and clothes treating apparatus including the same

Abstract

The present invention provides a suspension assembly and a clothes treating apparatus including the same, which improve the load of a support washing tank and attenuate the performance of vibration generated along with the movement of the washing tank. The suspension assembly according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a rod-shaped support rod formed by extending in the longitudinal direction; an elastic member coupled to the outer periphery of the support bar; a case coupled to the support bar so as to be penetrated by the support bar in a longitudinal direction, the case being supported by the elastic member and forming a compartment surrounding the support bar; the friction component is arranged in the shell and generates friction with the supporting rod when displacement occurs in the separation chamber; and a cover which is penetrated by the support rod in the longitudinal direction and is coupled to the housing to cover the compartment, in which a first hole is formed in the housing so that condensed water generated in an internal space formed by coupling the housing and the cover is discharged to the outside.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a suspension assembly and a laundry treating apparatus including the same, and more specifically, to a suspension assembly which improves the performance of supporting a load of a washing tub while attenuating vibration generated with the movement of the washing tub, and includes the same clothes treatment device. Background technique [0002] Generally, clothes require various forms of care, such as washing, drying, storing, and ironing. To this end, laundry treating devices capable of separately performing washing, drying, storing, and ironing, etc., have been promoted. In addition, laundry treating devices capable of performing washing and drying, storing and ironing, etc. in combination, have also been promoted. [0003] In particular, if one looks at a clothes treating device for washing, that is, a washing machine, it includes: a cover forming the appearance of the washing machine; an outer tank accommodated in ...

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a problem as follows: when the suspension is designed to be optimized in an excessive vibration state with a large amplitude, the vibration damping effect is poor in a normal state with a relatively small amplitude. On the contrary, when the suspension is designed to be optimized in a normal vibration state In the lower optimization, the expected sufficient vibration damping effect cannot be achieved in the excessive vibration state

[0012] However, although the washing machine in prior document 2 discloses a structure in which an air hole is formed in a part of the suspension to allow a certain part of the air to flow, this air hole is only a structure for damping vibration by using air pressure, and has nothing to do with the vibration damping process. Condensation water generated in the structure is independent of the frictional heat

[0013] As described above, the suspension used in the laundry treatment device has the problem of needing to properly deal with condensation water and frictional heat etc. generated during the vibration damping process, but the existing laundry treatment device has a limitation that cannot properly solve these problems sex
