Benefits of technology

[0031] According to the present invention, multi-directional vibration or impact is absorbed by the cooperation of the bracket, the revolute joint connection unit, and the damper. Consequently, the present invention has the effect of more properly attenuating vibration or impact transmitted from the drum.
[0032] According to the present invention, the revolute joint connection unit is mounted in the washing machine. As a result, the damper is rotated about the joint pin, and therefore, the shock-absorbing operation is performed by the bu...

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a washing machine. The washing machine comprises at least one damper disposed between a drive part of the washing machine and a cabinet for performing shock-absorbing operation, a damper bracket fixedly attached to the drive part for transmitting vibration or impact to the at least one damper, and a revolute joint connection unit connected between the at least one damper and the damper bracket. When non-horizontal vibration or impact is transmitted to the at least one damper, the damper is rotated by the revolute joint connection unit. Consequently, the shock-absorbing operation is effectively performed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a washing machine, and, more particularly, to a washing machine having dampers each of which has one end connected to one side of a drum in a revolute joint fashion for effectively absorbing vibration generated from a driving part of the washing machine. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004]FIG. 1 is a sectional view illustrating the interior structure of a conventional drum type washing machine, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a sectional view illustrating the interior structure of the damper shown in FIG. 1. [0005] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the conventional drum type washing machine comprises: a cabinet 1 having a base 1a and a door 1b; a tub 2 fixedly mounted in the cabinet 1; a drum 3 rotatably mounted in the tub 2 such that laundry m and washing water are shaken by lifters 3a; a motor 4 for rotating the drum 3; and springs 5,...
