Abstract: A washing machine suspension device having a suspension shaft, a base member fixedly connected to the lower end of the suspension shaft, an elastic member located on the base member, and a support member having a central bore surrounding the suspension shaft, and a backing surface located above the base member. The support member has at least two compression members. Each compression member has a ramp that contacts the elastic member. The ramps are oriented such that a load is applied to the backing surface generates a reaction force between the support member and the elastic member to compress the compression member against the suspension shaft.

Abstract: A floating basket and clutch are applied to a top loading washing machine. More particularly, the basket floating (1) and clutch (2) are applied to top loading washing machines (M), equipped with a motor (M) and a drive system which includes a drive shaft (E), a pulley (P), a belt (Cr) and a sealing device (V), assembled between the shaft (E) and the base of the tub (T). More precisely, the clutch (2) is responsible for commanding the operation of the oscillating movement of the agitator or impeller (AG), during the washing operation (OPL) and operating the high-speed spinning of the agitator (AG) and basket (1), when operating in centrifugation operation (OPC). The floating basket (1) is coupled and fixed to the tube (5) of the upper sector (S1) of the clutch (2) and the tub (T) is fixed to the female lower crown (4) of the lower sector (S2) of the clutch (2).

Abstract: A suspension (1) of a washing machine has a mechanical assembly resting on the bottom of the cabinet (3) by means of a lower cushion including plates (5 and 7) and shock absorbers (6) and a liquid containing casing (4). The suspension system (1) is intended to absorb the movement of the mechanical (wash group) assembly during a centrifugal spin, reducing the transmissibility of forces/movements to the external cabinet (3), while the liquid containing casing provides a cost-effective counterbalance within the system.

Abstract: There is described a control system (15) for controlling unbalance of the wash assembly (5) in a vertical-rotation-axis washing machine (1), wherein a wash assembly (5) is housed inside a casing (2), and has a wash drum (8) rotating about an axis of rotation (R) substantially parallel to a vertical reference axis (V), and an electric drive unit (12) for rotating the wash drum (8) about the relative axis of rotation (R); said control system has first computing blocks (19, 20, 21) for determining a number of operating quantities (Cm(t), J, alpha (t)) associated with rotation of the wash drum (8), and for determining, as a function of the quantities, the time pattern of the amplitude (h(t)) of vertical oscillation of the centre of mass (B) of the wash assembly (5) in a first direction substantially parallel to the vertical reference axis (V); and a second computing block (23) for determining the maximum amplitude (H) of vertical oscillation of the wash assembly (5) within a given time interval (T); the second co
