A first location is defined as one of left and right portions in the tub body relative to a vertical line passing through the rotation center of the drum, while a second location is defined as the other portion. The first damper and second damper are disposed at the first location. The third damper is disposed at the second location.

Provided is a washing machine having an improved structure for efficiently controlling a distribution of washing water to improve washing performance. The washing machine includes a tub, a rotary tub rotatably provided inside of the tub, a tub cover coupled to the tub to prevent washing water from overflowing the tub, and a plurality of guide units formed on a bottom surface of the tub cover to guide the washing water into the inside of the rotary tub. The plurality of guide units includes a first guide having an outer end spaced from an edge of the tub cover in an inward direction of the tub cover, a second guide having an outer end spaced from the edge of the tub cover in the inward direction of the tub cover, and disposed to be spaced apart from the first guide in a circumferential direction of the tub cover, and a third guide connecting the outer end of the first guide and the outer end of the second guide.

A counterweight of washing machine, a washing machine and a counterweighting method for the washing machine relates to the technical field of washing machines. The counterweight of washing machine includes at least one counterweight cavity and at least one pressured water structure; a water entering port for connecting a water entering pipeline and a water draining port for connecting a water draining pipeline are formed on a wall of each of the at least one counterweight cavity; the at least one water pressurizing structure is disposed in each of the at least one counterweight cavity, and is configured to enable water entering each of the at least one counterweight cavity to be in an air-free sealed cavity. The counterweight of washing machine is mainly configured to reduce vibration and nose of the washing machine in work, and reduce the production and transportation cost of the washing machine.

A present disclosure provides a washing machine including first and second nozzles which are provided on an inner peripheral surface of a gasket, first and second balancers disposed on the front surface of the tub and outside the gasket, and a circulating water supply pipe which guides the water pumped by a pump to the first and second nozzles. The circulating water supply pipe includes first and second discharge ports protruding toward the gasket and respectively inserted into a first connector and a second connector. The first and second balancers are disposed to be spaced by a distance shorter than lengths of the first and second discharge ports from outer surfaces of the first and second discharge portions facing the first and second balancers. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the circulating water supply pipe from being removed.

A laundry washing machine having an outer casing, a washing tub, a rotatable drum and at least one balancing ring rigidly secured to the rotatable drum. The at least one balancing ring includes a substantially toroidal, annular housing that is rigidly secured to the drum, and has a tubular structure so as to delimit a closed annular inner cavity. A number of balancing masses are accommodated in movable manner inside the annular inner cavity, preferably together with a damping liquid. The annular housing has a substantially frustoconical outer wall segment that is inclined by an angle (β) lower than 90° with respect to the midplane (P) of the annular housing, and a peripheral supporting structure that juts out outwardly from the substantially frustoconical outer wall segment to stably abut against the body of the drum.

The present invention relates to a laundry treating apparatus. The laundry treating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a control unit which controls the tub to rotate at a first speed in a case of a blanket dehydration mode, to rotate at a second speed lower than the first speed so that the plurality of balls are dispersed when amount of eccentricity in the first speed rotation is equal to or greater than a first reference value, and to rotate at a third speed higher than the first speed when the amount of eccentricity in the first speed rotation is less than the first reference value. Accordingly, in a blanket dehydration mode, it is possible to stably perform dehydration by preventing the plurality of balls from operating unbalanced.

A bi-directional recirculating filtration system for a laundry treating appliance is provided. A removable filtration apparatus for the laundry treating appliance is provided. A laundry treating appliance having a balance ring filtration system is provided. A laundry treating appliance having a removable attachment filter system is provided. A laundry treating appliance having a removable filter cartridge system is provided. A flexible filter diaphragm for use in the capture of pet hair is provided. A recirculating filtration system of a laundry treating appliance is provided.

Disclosed is a washing machine including: a plurality of nozzles provided in an inner circumferential surface of a gasket body to spray water into a drum; a pump configured to pump water discharged from a tub; a distribution pipe supplying the water, pumped by the pump, to the plurality of nozzles; and a circulation pipe connecting the distribution pipe and the pump, wherein the pump is disposed in one side of left and right sides with reference to the inlet port, wherein the circulation pipe is bent at least once, wherein the inlet port includes a first positioning protrusion protruding from an outer circumferential surface of an inlet pipe coupled to the circulation pipe, and wherein a first positioning groove allowing the first positioning protrusion to be inserted thereinto is formed at one end of the circulation pipe, and accordingly, misassembling of the circulation pipe may be prevented.

An apparatus for treating laundry includes a tub, a drum, a motor configured to rotate the drum, a rotation shaft coupled to the motor, a first body including a first body hub located at a rotational center of the drum and fixed to the drum and a first body arm extended from the first body hub toward an edge of the drum, a second body including a second body hub located in the tub and fixed to the rotation shaft and a second body arm extended from the second body hub toward the first body arm, a connecting part connecting the first body to the second body and defining a space between the first body and the second body, and a reinforcement rib extended from the connecting part along the first body arm to connect the connecting part to the first body arm or the second body arm.

A balance weight mounting structure of a washing machine and a balance weight mounting device are disclosed. The balance weight mounting structure of a washing machine comprises a cabinet; a tub movably supported with respect to the cabinet; a drum rotatably supported in the tub; and a balance weight provided in the tub, increasing a weight of the tub, wherein the tub and the balance weight are welded by a welding device and fixedly fastened to each other.
