Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3239380A1] The present invention provides a washing machine capable of suppressing vibration and noise and capable of reducing a gap between a circumferential wall of an outer tub and a housing so as to reduce a useless space. The washing machine includes a box-shaped housing (2) having an internal space (Sp) opened upward; and a washing tub unit (4) suspended and supported through a hanger bar (3) in the internal space (Sp). The washing tub unit includes an outer tub (5) presented in a bottomed quasi-cylindrical shape; an inner tub (6) presented in a bottomed quasi-cylindrical shape, coaxially configured inside the outer tub (5) and rotatably supported by the outer tub; and a driving mechanism (7) arranged at a lower end of the outer tub (5) and configured to drive the inner tub (6) to rotate. A base end side (3A) of the hanger bar (3) is mounted in the vicinity of an upper end (24) of the housing (2), and a top end (3B) side is mounted at a lower portion of the outer tub (5). A center of gravity (Pc1) of the washing tub unit (4) is arranged at a position higher than a height center (Hb) in a vertical direction of the housing (2).
