Abstract

In the vertical automatic washing machine, the laundry works as a mass inside the cylinder (basket), which causes vibration problems during the washing and spinning process, and the vibration appears more during the spinning process, as the fan rotates during the washing process and the basket rotates at high speed during the spinning process.
The main objective of this study is to reduce the vibrations of domestic Automatic Washing Machines through the use of Tuned Liquid Dampers (TLDs).
In this paper, the focus is on studying TLD through the use of the balance ring BR in the basket, to which some modifications were made. The results were drawn by conducting experiments on the balance ring and introducing some additions to the ring from the inside. 10 points were identified on the body of the washing machine and the resulting vibrations were measured. About the process of washing and spinning with and without a load, such as the unbalanced mass that represents the laundry.
