Abstract

Disclosed is a laundry machine, which can wash or dry laundry. The laundry machine includes a housing provided between a washing tub unit and a mounting surface, on which a cabinet containing the washing tub unit is installed; and dynamic vibration absorbers provided to the housing, and configured to offset vibration transmitted from the washing tub unit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A laundry machine comprising:
 a housing provided between a washing tub unit and a mounting surface, on which a cabinet containing the washing tub unit is installed; and   dynamic vibration absorbers provided to the housing, and configured to offset vibration transmitted from the washing tub unit.   
   
   
       2 . The laundry machine according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the dynamic vibration absorbers includes:
 a mass body having a designated mass; and   elastic members configured to elastically suspend the mass body.   
   
   
       3 . The laundry machine according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 the housing includes side panels forming respective outer walls; and   the dynamic vibration absorbers are provided between the side panels.   
   
   
       4 . The laundry machine according to  claim 3 , wherein the dynamic vibration absorbers are provided adjacent to an upper surface of the housing. 
   
   
       5 . The laundry machine according to  claim 1 , further comprising a moving body received in the housing or drawn out of the housing. 
   
   
       6 . The laundry machine according to  claim 5 , wherein an inner space for receiving articles is formed in the moving body. 
   
   
       7 . The laundry machine according to  claim 5 , wherein the dynamic vibration absorbers are provided between an upper surface of the moving body and an upper panel of the housing. 
   
   
       8 . The laundry machine according to  claim 5 , wherein the dynamic vibration absorbers are provided between a rear surface of the moving body and a rear panel of the housing. 
   
   
       9 . The laundry machine according to  claim 1 , wherein the housing is a frame having at least two rods connected for forming a designated inner space therein. 
   
   
       10 . The laundry machine according to  claim 9 , wherein the dynamic vibration absorbers are provided between the rods of the frame. 
   
   
       11 . The laundry machine according to  claim 9 , wherein the dynamic vibration absorbers are provided along the rods of the frame. 
   
   
       12 . The laundry machine according to  claim 2 , wherein at least one of the dynamic vibration absorbers further includes a case containing the mass body and the elastic members. 
   
   
       13 . The laundry machine according to  claim 12 , further comprising amplitude limit parts configured to limit the amplitude of movement of the mass body within a designated range within the case. 
   
   
       14 . The laundry machine according to  claim 12 , further comprising a guide configured to guide the mass body so that the mass body can be vibrated in a regular direction.
