Abstract
A drum washing machine is provided. The drum washing machine includes: an outer tank arranged in a housing; a drum, which is arranged in the outer tank and capable of rotating about a horizontal shaft H; a rotating body, which is arranged at a rear part of the drum, a surface of the rotating body being provided with a projection; and a driving part, configured to drive the drum and the rotating body to coaxially rotate at different rotating speeds. The drum has a baffle arranged on an inner circumferential surface of the drum, which is used as a moving unit configured to move the washings in the drum towards the rotating body. The baffle has gathering surfaces for gathering the washings through a rotation of the drum. The gathering surfaces are inclined so that the side of the rotating body is lagged in a rotation direction of the drum.
