Following the rinsing, the dehydration energizes the drain valve 23 to discharge the rinsing water, then energizes the motor 18, reduces the speed by the speed reducer 20 and the belt transmission mechanism, rotates the drum 8 at a low speed, and After a predetermined time has elapsed, the clutch 20b is switched, the rotation of the motor 18 is reduced only by the belt transmission mechanism, and the drum 8 is rotated at a high speed (600 to 1100 rpm). During the high-speed rotation of the spin-drying operation, the mechanical unit 2 vibrates due to imbalance due to the bias of the laundry A in the drum 8. Due to this vibration, a large inertial force is generated in parts having a large mass, such as the motor 18 and the speed reducer 20, and the four inertial forces act on the mounting member 15 of the mounting portion.

Or, when it is close, the mechanical part 2 may swing greatly and collide with the outer frame 1. The large run-out due to this free vibration is prevented from occurring by increasing the natural frequency and the damping force of the vibration system by pulling the suspension rod 24a of the shock absorber 24 with the elastic wheel 25 in opposite transverse directions.

The above is the embodiment relating to the structure of the drum type washing machine and the buffer support structure of the present invention. According to this embodiment, the water tub 3 accommodating the drum 8 is provided with the end plate 5 and the end plate 6 is fixedly provided in a watertight manner, and the water tank 3 is provided with a mounting portion 15a formed of a flat plate portion 15a on which the driving portion 16 is fixedly mounted and side plates 15b and 15c formed by raising both side ends thereof. And by supporting it with the shock absorber 24, the cylindrical body 4 of the water tank 3 can be formed of a thin plate, and the flat plate portion 15a of the mounting member 15 is generated by the rotation of the drum 3 during rinsing and rinsing. It can be formed without a reinforcing member so as to have strength and rigidity to withstand inertial force generated by reaction force or vibration during dehydration.

In addition, each of the suspension rods 24a of the shock absorber 24, which suspends and supports the mechanical unit 2 by shock absorption, is pulled by the elastic ring 25 in the opposite lateral direction to form a shock absorbing support structure. The part (water tank 3) can be prevented from swinging greatly.
