  • Publication number: 20180237973
    Abstract: A washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes: a washing drum which is rotatable and intersects with an up-down direction; a rotating part having a plurality of concave parts arranged in a rotating direction of the washing drum, and the rotating part is connected with the washing drum so that the rotating part rotates integrally with the washing drum; and a locking part for locking rotation of the rotating part by fitting in the concave parts. In the washing machine, a nut member is in threaded connection with the threaded shaft and connected to the rotating part so that the nut member moves along the threaded shaft along with rotation of the threaded shaft, thereby causing the rotating part to rotate. A backlash between the locking part fitted in the concave parts and the rotating part is smaller than a backlash between the threaded shaft and the nut member.

  • Publication number: 20180237974
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a washing, in which a washing drum can rotate in a manner of intersecting a perpendicular direction. A rotating part is connected with the washing drum in a manner of integral rotation. A nut member is connected with the rotating part, and is in threaded connection with a threaded shaft, and moves along a front-rear direction along with rotation of the threaded shaft, so that the rotating part rotates. A supporting part for supporting the threaded shaft in a manner of rotation is fixed to a base part. A detected part arranged on the nut member and configured to detect a rotating angle of the rotating part is detected by a sensor. A rotation-stopping protrusion arranged on the nut member is incorporated into a limiting part formed on the base part and extending along the front-rear direction in a shape of a straight line.
