TUB ASSEMBLY AND WASHING MACHINE
Provided are a tub assembly and a washing machine. The tub assembly includes an outer tub, and a lining tub disposed in the outer tub fixedly connected to the outer tub. An inner wall of the outer tub is protected by means of the lining tub, thereby preventing the problem of bacteria breeding caused by an inner wall face of the outer tub and washing water being in contact for a long time, or the problem of mildew occurring due to the inner wall of the outer tub being in a damp environment for a long time. The washing effect of a washing machine can be effectively improved, thereby preventing health and hygiene problems, etc.
CLOTHES TREATMENT APPARATUS
Disclosed is a clothes treatment apparatus. The clothes treatment apparatus of the present disclosure may comprise: a cabinet; a drum rotatably provided in the cabinet; an induction heater which is disposed outside the drum and heats the drum; a magnet which is fixed to the drum and of which a residual magnetic flux density changes depending on temperature; and a coil fixed to the outside of the drum and disposed at a position overlapping the magnet in the longitudinal direction of the central axis of rotation of the drum.
STRUCTURED GEOMETRY FOR A TUB REAR WALL OF A LAUNDRY APPLIANCE
A tub for a laundry appliance, includes a rear wall having a bearing hub for receiving a drive shaft. A plurality of inner radial walls extend from the bearing hub to a convergence wall. A circumferential wall extends concentrically about the bearing hub to engage one of the inner radial walls and the convergence wall. A plurality of outer diverging walls extends from the convergence wall to an outer edge of the rear wall.
Laundry washing machine with adjustable wash capacity
A wash drum apparatus and method of adjusting the wash capacity for a laundry washing machine. The wash drum may include one or more rear cover inserts that may adjust the wash capacity of the wash drum. The rear cover insert may include one or more impellers. The wash drum may include a rear cover.
Laundry apparatuses having dynamic balancing assemblies
A laundry apparatus includes a tub, a drum, a control unit, a motor, and a dynamic balancing assembly. The drum is positioned within a fluid containment envelope of the tub and rotatable relative to the tub about a primary rotation axis. The motor is coupled to the tub and operatively coupled to the drum to cause rotation of the drum. The dynamic balancing assembly includes an orbital balancing passage arranged concentrically around the motor, a first counterweight device, and a second counterweight device. The first and second counterweight devices are positioned within the orbital balancing passage and are responsive to the control unit to move the first and second counterweight devices along the orbital balancing passage to adjust an angular position of the first and second counterweight devices. A cross-sectional plane passes through the dynamic balancing assembly, the motor, and the fluid containment envelope of the tub.
Laundry treating apparatus
Disclosed is a laundry treating apparatus including a cabinet having a front face with a drawer hole defined therein, and a rear cover for forming a rear face of the cabinet, a drawer including a drawer body, a drawer cover, and a cover through-hole defined to penetrate the drawer cover, a tub including a tub body, a tub cover for forming a top face of the tub body, and an inlet defined to penetrate the tub cover, a drum rotatably disposed in the tub, wherein the drum accommodates laundry, a door for closing the inlet, and a door guide for providing a path for the door to reciprocate between a first point where the inlet is closed and a second point where the inlet is opened in a space defined between the tub cover and the drawer cover.
SEALING DEVICE FOR SLEEVES OF WASHING MACHINES
A sealing device for a sleeve of washing machines, provided internally with bearing units. The device is provided with a stationary first annular screen which integrally carries a first elastomeric element, a second annular rotating screen which integrally carries a second elastomeric element. The first and the second elastomeric elements face each other defining a first annular meatus (M), and a plurality of pairs of annular sealing lips (L1, L2) arranged inside the first annular meatus (M). The first sealing lip (L1) and the second sealing lip (L2) of the plurality of pairs of annular sealing lips (L1, L2) are substantially radially and axially superimposed and have predetermined axial dimensions to be radially and axially separated from each other and to define, inside the first annular meatus (M) and with the first and second sealing lips of the other pairs of annular sealing lips (L1, L2), a tortuous labyrinth (L).

Horizontal axis laundry treatment machine having corner entry
A laundry treatment machine including: a cabinet; a tub within the cabinet; a horizontal axis fluid pervious drum within the tub rotatable about a horizontal axis, wherein the drum has a diameter orthogonal to the horizontal axis and an average width in line with the horizontal axis and a ratio of diameter to average width from 1.5:1 to 3.25:1; a circumferential entry section into the tub that spans at least across an intermediate range of from 30 degrees to 60 degrees above and rotationally about the horizontal axis and is bounded within a front position of more than 2 degrees above and rotationally about the horizontal axis and a top position less than 90 degrees above and rotationally about the horizontal axis; and a door in the cabinet, the door sealingly engaged with the entry section.
Spray system for an appliance having a flexible spray membrane having a separable seam
A recirculating fluid flow system for an appliance includes a fluid pump that delivers process fluid through a fluid path. A tub is disposed within a cabinet and defines a processing space. The fluid path includes at least a portion of the processing space. The tub has an outlet that directs the process fluid toward the fluid pump. A sprayer assembly is coupled with the tub for directing the process fluid into the processing space. The sprayer assembly includes a spray head having a plurality of spray nozzles and an operable seam that extends through each spray nozzle of the plurality of spray nozzles. The operable seam is selectively separable to define a release opening that includes at least two spray nozzles of the plurality of spray nozzles.
