The present invention discloses a flange structure at a bottom of an inner tub of a washing machine, comprises a shaft joint portion locating at a center of the flange and an annular mounting portion which is fixedly connected with the bottom of the inner tub of the washing machine and is at an outer periphery of the shaft joint portion, and a plurality of connecting portions being provided between the mounting portion and the shaft joint portion. The connecting portions include a main rib extending from the mounting portion to the shaft joint portion, and a plurality of transverse ribs are arranged on both sides of the main rib along an extending direction of a main rib respectively in turn, and a filter portion is formed by the plurality of connecting portions cooperating together, which is a region between the mounting portion and the shaft joint portion.

A washing machine appliance includes a tub positioned within a cabinet. The tub has a wall and a plurality of ribs extending from the wall. A secondary wall is positioned on the plurality of ribs opposite the wall of the tub such that the secondary wall is spaced from the wall on the plurality of ribs. The wall of the tub, the plurality of ribs and the secondary wall define a plurality of cavities between the wall of the tub and the secondary wall. Each cavity of the plurality of cavities is at least partially filled or fillable with a liquid.

A wash tub apparatus and method of manufacturing the wash tub for a laundry washing machine. The wash tub may include a bearing housing shell and a bearing housing insert. The bearing housing insert may include at least one bearing. The bearing housing shell may be overmolded with a plastic portion of the cylindrical tub.

A tub, with a bearing housing inserted therein, and a washing machine having the same. The washing machine includes a bearing housing and a tub, the tub having a rear wall portion in which the bearing housing is inserted. The bearing housing includes a cylindrical hub having bearings, a stator mounting portion surrounding the hub, the stator mounting portion having concave portions and convex portions formed in a repetitive pattern in a circumferential direction, and an expansion portion surrounding the stator mounting portion, the expansion portion having radial ribs formed in a repetitive pattern in a circumferential direction.

According to a tub for a washing machine according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a bottom portion, an outer side wall portion, an inner side wall portion, a water flow passage side wall are integrally formed by injection molding so as to form a water flow passage. An apparatus and a method of manufacturing the tub for a washing machine according to the exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure allow the bottom portion, the outer side wall portion, the inner side wall portion, and the water flow passage side wall to be integrally formed by injection molding.

A laundry machine includes first and second washing units including first and second tubs, respectively. First and second drums are mounted inside the first and second tubs, and first and second drive units drive rotations of the first and second drums around first and second rotational shafts, respectively. The second washing unit is arranged above the first washing unit and has a smaller laundry treating capacity than the first washing unit. The first rotational shaft is not parallel to the second rotational shaft. A first recess projects downward from a rear lower surface of the second tub and is configured to heat wash water in the second tub. A metal plate member is provided on an outside lower surface of the second tub, and partially extends to the rear of the second tub to expose a bottom surface of the first recess.
