First Claim
Patent Images
1. A damper comprising:
- a cylinder;
a piston coupled with the cylinder to enable a reciprocating motion, the piston generating a magnetic force with power impression; and
a vibration-absorbing part provided within the cylinder, the vibration-absorbing part generating a frictional force by coming into contact with an inner circumference of the cylinder, the vibration-absorbing part attached to the piston by the magnetic force to absorb a vibration transferred to the cylinder or the piston.

Abstract
The present invention provides a washer, damper thereof, and control method thereof, by which noise is reduced by adjusting a damping force of the damper in a manner of turning on/off power of the damper according to an oscillation frequency of a vibrating body such as a washer. The control method reduces noise by supplying power to a damper in an excessive vibration state of a vibrating body such as a washer or by cutting off the power supplied to the damper in a normal vibration state of the vibrating body.
