LAUNDRY MACHINE WITH VIBRATION REDUCTION

摘要

A laundry machine comprises a cabinet; a tub fixed to the cabinet to hold water therein; a drive assembly and a suspension unit. The drive assembly comprises a shaft connected to the drum, a bearing housing rotatably supporting the shaft, and a motor to rotate the shaft. The suspension unit is attached to the bearing housing to reduce vibration of the drum and is separated from the tub. The laundry machine further includes a means for adding mass to any one of the drive assembly and the suspension units supporting the drum to reduce vibrations generated by the drum. The motor and the overall mass center of the means are located distant from a center of the drum in a same axial direction of the shaft.
