  • Driving apparatus for washing machine and washing machine having the same
    Patent number: 9725840
    Abstract: A washing machine driving apparatus and a washing machine having the same, capable of minimizing the coupling structure of a clutch and a motor and including a stator provided in a shape of a ring, a rotor disposed around the stator and rotating by electromagnetic interaction with the stator, and a clutch configured to transmit a rotary force of the rotor selectively to the rotating tub and the pulsator, wherein the stator comprises a stator core, an upper insulator covering an upper portion of the stator core and a lower insulator covering a lower portion of the stator core, and wherein the upper insulator has a mounting part protruding upward from an upper side of the upper insulator such that the clutch is coupled to the upper insulator.
    Type: Grant
