Provided is a washing machine with improved clutch-assembly structure for transmitting the power of a motor. A washing machine comprises: a water tub; a spin basket rotatably provided in the water tub; a pulsator rotatably provided in the spin basket; a motor configured to rotate the pulsator; a clutch housing coupled to the water tub; a lever holder coupled to the clutch housing; and a noise prevention member provided in the lever holder to reduce noise generated between the water tub and the motor.

Washing machine

A washing machine includes a motor for generating power and a clutch assembly that receives the power from the motor and drives a drum and a pulsator. The clutch assembly includes a driving shaft that receives the power from the motor and rotates, a pulsator drive portion selectively receiving the power from the driving shaft to rotate the pulsator, and a drum driving portion selectively receiving the power from the driving shaft to rotate the drum, The clutch assembly is provided to selectively drive a driving portion of at least one of the drum driving portion and the pulsator drive portion. With this configuration, the washing machine capable of running various modes of a washing mode and dehydration mode is implemented.

Clutch assembly of washing machine

In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, a washing apparatus including a main motor configured to generate a rotational force and provide the rotational force to a washing shaft; a coupling disposed above the main motor and selectively transmitting the rotational force of the main motor to a spin-drying shaft by vertically moving; a clutch motor configured to generate a tensile force in a radial direction of the coupling; a clutch lever configured to decouple the main motor from the coupling by moving the coupling upward using the tensile force of the clutch motor; and a controller configured to rotate the main motor in a mode switching section from a spin-drying mode, in which the coupling is coupled to the main motor, to a washing mode, in which the coupling is decoupled from the main motor, or from the washing mode to the spin-drying mode.

Washing apparatus and controlling method thereof

Disclosed herein are a washing machine including a moving mechanism and a method of controlling the washing machine. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub disposed inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably provided inside the tub, a front panel which is located at one side of the cabinet and comprises an opening through which laundry is inserted and taken out, and a driving unit which moves the tub to change a space between the tub and the front panel. It is possible to prevent oscillation from being transferred by spacing the front panel and the tub apart during washing. Also, it is possible to provide convenience for a user by arranging the front panel and the tub adjacent to each other while inserting or taking out laundry.

Washing machine and method of controlling the washing machine

A washing machine may include a washing tub that is capable of improving washing effect. The washing machine includes: a casing; a washing tub installed in the casing; a plurality of concave sides formed to be recessed into an inner side surface of the washing tub; and a plurality of protrusions that protrude in an inward direction of the washing tub and include a plurality of first protrusions formed on the plurality of concave sides. A frictional force with laundry is generated using a washing tub including the plurality of protrusions and the plurality of concave sides so that a washing force can be enhanced and a flow of washing water can be guided.
