Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021239551A1] The invention relates to a damper assembly, in particular for a washing machine, comprising: at least one, in particular active, damper (14) which causes a damping effect, can be arranged between two components (2, 10) of the washing machine (1) that are movable relative to one another, and is connectable to each of said components; a control unit (25) which is in signal connection with the damper (14) and is intended for controlling the damping effect of the damper (14); and at least one determination unit (26) which is in signal connection with the control unit (25) and is intended for determining at least one input variable, wherein the control unit (25) is designed to transmit a control signal to the damper (14) according to the at least one input variable, and the damper (14) is designed to vary its damping effect according to the control signal. In addition to the at least one active damper, at least one passive damper can be provided.
