A washing machine balancing ring comprises a balancing ring body (2), wherein a ring-shaped rib (4) is arranged in the periphery of the balancing ring body (2), the balancing ring body (2) is connected to the ring-shaped rib (4), and multiple drainage holes (5) are disposed between the balancing ring body (2) and the ring-shaped rib (4). The ring-shaped rib (4) is connected to the balancing ring body (2) through a connecting structure, and the connecting structure is provided with multiple drainage holes (5). A washing machine inner tub provided with the washing machine balancing ring is also disclosed, wherein the balancing ring is mounted on the opening of the tub body (1), the ring-shaped rib (4) is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tub body (1), and the tub body (1) and the tub bottom (3) are each of a sealed structure. The washing machine inner tub can drain away water smoothly, the drainage is not affected by the balancing ring at the upper end, and can effectively prevent washing water from rising along the tub wall and overflowing from the drainage holes. The fixation strength between the inner tub and the balancing ring is higher, and when the washing machine performs dewatering, the deformation of the inner tub is smaller, thus reducing vibration noise during dewatering of the washing machine.

A weight device (10) for increasing stability of a washing drum (110) of a washing machine (100), includes a weight body (20) with a mounting interface (22) to be mounted at a counter-mounting-interface (122) of the washing machine (100), in particular a washing tub (160) of the washing machine (100), in a position at least partly surrounding an access opening (130) of the washing machine (100) providing access to the washing drum (110), characterised in that at least one fluid channel (30) is formed inside of the weight body (20) having a channel inlet (32) for fluid communication with a fluid source (140) of the washing machine (100) and a channel outlet (34) for fluid communication with a fluid drainage (150) of the washing machine (100).

The present invention refers to a balancing apparatus 100 for preventing vibrations and loud running in a drum 1 of a washing machine while operating. The balancing apparatus 100 according to the present invention preferably comprises of at least two half rings 2 and a plurality of propellers 3. The plurality of propellers are attached to the drum 1.The two half rings 2 are configured to cover the drum 1. The propellers 3 and the half rings 2 are magnetically polarized while electric current is passing through the propellers 3 and half rings 2. The drum 1 is balanced by forming similar polarity in poles of the half rings 2 and the poles of the propellers 3 facing each other.

A washing machine includes a casing, a tub, a drum, a pump, a gasket that is arranged between a case opening and a tub opening and that includes first nozzles and second nozzles, and a water pipe assembly that includes: first nozzle ports affixed to the first nozzles, second nozzle ports affixed to the second nozzles, a first conduit, and a second conduit. The gasket further includes port insertion pipes into which the first and second nozzle ports are inserted. Each of the first and second nozzle ports includes at least one press-fit protrusion that is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the nozzle supply port and that is configured to, in a state in which the nozzle supply port is inserted into a corresponding port insertion pipe, maintain contact with an inner circumferential surface of the port insertion pipe.

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 technical solutions mainly adopted are as follows: 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 configured to be fixed on a water containing drum of the washing machine; and the washing machine comprises the counterweight of washing machine. The counterweight method for the washing machine is achieved by using the counterweight of washing machine to perform mass-adjustable counterweighting on the washing machine. 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.

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 counterweight assembly includes a counterweight and at least one retention member. The counterweight is formed of concrete or other heavy aggregate material. The at least one retention member is coupled to the counterweight and extends outwardly away from the counterweight. The at least one retention member is further adapted to be at least partly disposed through an aperture in a counterweight receiving component such as an appliance component to retain the counterweight in operable connection with the counterweight receiving component.

A counterweight assembly for counteracting vibrations or other forces in an appliance or machine includes a body and a funnel coupled to the body. The body includes an outer surface and an inner surface that defines an internal cavity that is adapted to receive a heavy aggregate material to form a counterweight. The funnel extends outwardly from the body and is adapted to deliver the heavy aggregate material to the internal cavity of the body.

A laundry treatment apparatus includes a load unit for adding more weight to a tub receiving water. The load unit is more expanded in volume than a cross-sectional shape of the tub so that more weight is added to the tub, resulting in reduction in vibration amplitude of the tub.
