Provided is a drum washing machine. The drum washing machine, which is provided with a rotating body on the rear a drum, is able to smoothly switch between a first form in which the drum and the rotating body rotate independently and a second form in which the drum and the rotating body rotate integrally. When switching from a biaxial driving form to a uniaxial driving form and vice versa, a control part rotates a rotor clockwise and anticlockwise in a manner of taking a reverse actionand a reverse actionduring the operation of a torque motor, i.e., during an action of moving a clutch body by virtue of a moving mechanism. The reverse actionincludes an action of stopping the rotor rotating clockwise direction, and the reverse actionincludes an action of stopping the rotor rotating anticlockwise.

Drum washing machine

The present disclosure reduces sound generated when a driving mode of a drum washing machine having a rotating body on a rear part of a drum is switched between a first mode and a second mode. The first mode is a driving mode in which the drum and the rotating body independently rotate, and the second mode is a driving mode in which the drum and the rotating body integrally rotate. A bearing-side cushioning member is arranged on a clutch carrying plate side. The bearing-side cushioning member firstly touches an object side when a spline of a clutch body is engaged with a spline of the clutch carrying plate, so as to reduce an impact force generated between the clutch body and the clutch carrying plate.

A drum washing machine, including: a driving part, capable of operating in a uniaxial driving form and a biaxial driving form; a heater configured to heat water stored in the outer drum for washing; and a control part which at least performs washing operation of a first washing mode and a second washing mode. In a washing process of the first washing mode, the control part enables the driving part to operate in the uniaxial driving form and also enables the heater to operate. Further, in a washing process of the second washing mode, the control part enables the driving part to operate in the biaxial driving form and also enables the heater to operate in such a manner that heat applied to the water is reduced compared with the first washing mode.

Disclosed is a drum washing machine, including: a drum configured in an outer tank and capable of rotating by using an inclination axis as center; a stirring body configured at a rear part of the drum and including main blades in contact with washings; a driving unit enabling the drum and the stirring body to rotate at different rotating speeds; and a water supply mechanism part configured to splash water to a surface of the stirring body. The water supply mechanism part includes a first water storage part capable of moving between a position in water soaked in the outer tank and a position higher than the water and storing water when soaked in water of the outer tank, and a first outflow port capable of enabling water stored in the first water storage part to flow out to the surface of the stirring body at an upper position.
