Abstract
The invention relates to a damper of a washing machine which produces a large damping force for low-frequency vibration while small damping force for high-frequency vibration. A piston (3) coupled with a piston rod (4) is embedded inside a cylinder which is filled with mixed oil liquid and gas, and the piston (3) is infused in the oil liquid. No free piston and other isolators are arranged at the borderline of the oil liquid and gas inside the cylinder (2). The piston (3) is provided with a throttle path (7) communicated with two chambers (2A and 2B). The cylinder (2) is connected with one side of a water tank holding the cylinder, while the piston rod (4) is connected with one side of the shell. For low-frequency vibration during the washing and rinsing process, a large damping force is generated through the resistance of the oil liquid flowing through the throttle path (7) so as to restrain the shaking of the cylinder; while for the high-frequency vibration during the dehydrating process, inflated air is generated actively to reduce the damping force and to absorb the vibration of the cylinder so as to reduce the vibration and noise.
