Abstract:
Disclosed is a washing machine comprising a main drum rotatably mounted in the tub, a sub drum mounted inside the main drum to be relatively rotatable with respect to the main drum, an outer shaft for rotating the main drum, an inner shaft for rotating the sub drum and disposed inside the outer shaft, and a driving motor. The driving means is configured to rotate the main drum and the sub drum in different directions and/or with different rotational speeds. The washing machine further comprises a main drum spider to connect the main drum to the outer shaft to transfer a driving force of the driving means to the main drum, and a sub drum spider to connect the sub drum to the inner shaft to transfer a driving force of the driving means to the sub drum, wherein the two spiders are arranged to be independently rotatable.
Abstract:
A laundry apparatus including a cabinet; a first space provided in the cabinet, in which a first treating part provided to treat laundry is installed; a second space provided in the cabinet, in which a second treating part provided to treat laundry is installed; a drawer movably provided in the second space, in which the second treating part is installed; and a rail unit configured to limit vertical and horizontal movement of the drawer with respect to the second space and to guide the outward movement of the drawer. Therefore, laundry may be treated by using the first and second treating parts and vibration and noise generated in the second treating part may be reduced.
Abstract:
A laundry treatment apparatus including a cabinet forming an appearance of the apparatus, a drum rotatably disposed in the cabinet, a housing fixed to the drum, an accommodation space defined within the housing forming a closed loop, a balancing unit movably disposed in the accommodation space, and a housing power line provided at an inner circumferential surface of the housing to supply power to the balancing unit, wherein the balancing unit includes a unit body, a motor for moving the unit body, a brush contacting the housing power line, and a power terminal housing fixed to the unit body and having a space in which the brush is removably installed.
