SCHWINGUNGSDAEMPFUNGSVORRICHTUNG FUER EINE WASCHMASCHINE ODER DERGLEICHEN
The damping system comprises at least one gap detector 7A, 7B mounted on the cylindrical surface of the tank 2 and emitting a predetermined signal as a function of the variation in the gap between the tank 2 and the bodywork 3 of the washing machine. It includes, moreover, connected to an operating part 8, a first part for generating a control force 9A, 9B receiving the output signals coming from a first amplifier and producing an electromagnetic force, as well as a second part for generating a control force 10A, 10B, receiving the output signals coming from a second amplifier and also producing an electromagnetic damping force. Application to the active electromagnetic damping of the vibrations produced on a washing machine tank (drum) by the rotation of the tank during washing. <IMAGE>
