Drum Type Washing Machine

Abstract

This invention relates to a drum type washing machine including a cabinet, a tub provided in the cabinet, a drum rotatably provided in the tub, a bearing housing including a huh having a rotating shaft of the drum passed therethrough and bearings placed in a center portion thereof, a supporting portion which extends from an outside circumference of the hub integrally, and a fastening portion provided integrally with the supporting portion, a connective supporter fastened to the fastening portion for supporting the bearing housing, and a vibration attenuating device between the connective supporter and the cabinet for attenuating vibration.

1 . A drum type washing machine comprising:
 a cabinet;   a tub provided in the cabinet;   a drum rotatably provided in the tub;   a bearing housing including a hub having a rotating shaft of the drum passed therethrough and bearings placed in a center portion thereof, a supporting portion which extends from an outside circumference of the hub integrally, and a fastening portion provided integrally with the supporting portion;   a connective supporter fastened to the fastening portion for supporting the bearing housing; and   a vibration attenuating device between the connective supporter and the cabinet for attenuating vibration.   
   
   
       2 . The drum type washing machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the connective supporters are provided in symmetry under the bearing housing. 
   
   
       3 . The drum type washing machine as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the connective supporter includes;
 an extension portion extended in a radial direction of the bearing housing, and   a connection portion bent from the extension portion and connected to the vibration attenuating device.   
   
   
       4 . The drum type washing machine as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the connection portion is provided parallel to a bottom of the cabinet substantially, and at least one vibration attenuating device is connected to an underside of the connection portion. 
   
   
       5 . The drum type washing machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the connective supporter further includes reinforcing ribs for reinforcing strength of the connective supporter. 
   
   
       6 . The drum type washing machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a stator of a motor for driving the drum is fastened to the supporting portion. 
   
   
       7 . The drum type washing machine as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the bearing housing includes;
 a first bearing housing for direct supporting of the rotating shaft of the drum, and   a second bearing housing provided on an outside of the first bearing housing.   
   
   
       8 . The drum type washing machine as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the first bearing housing is injection molded inserted in the second bearing housing. 
   
   
       9 . The drum type washing machine as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the supporting portion and the fastening portion are provided at the first bearing housing. 
   
   
       10 . A drum type washing machine comprising:
 a cabinet;   a drum rotatably provided in the cabinet;   a bearing housing including a first bearing housing having a hub with a rotation shaft of the drum passed therethrough; a supporting portion along an outside circumference to the first bearing housing, and a second bearing housing having a fastening portion adjacent to the supporting portion;   a vibration attenuating device in the cabinet for attenuating vibration generated by the drum; and   a plurality of connective supporters for distributing force from the bearing housing and transmissing the distributed force to the vibration attenuating device.
