Background
Washing machines can be largely classified into pulsator type, agitator type, and drum type washing machines. Generally, a washing machine removes stains from laundry by the action of water and detergent.
The pulsator type washing machine performs a washing operation by rotating a pulsator at the center of a washing tub in a left-right direction. The pulsator type washing machine performs a washing operation by using a frictional force between a water current and laundry by rotating a rotation fin at the center of a washing tub in a left-right direction. The drum type washing machine performs a washing operation by rotating a drum to beat laundry.
In general, a drum type washing machine has a housing in which an outer tub for accommodating washing water is installed, a drum for accommodating laundry is provided inside the outer tub, and a motor and a shaft for rotating the drum are provided at the rear surface of the outer tub.
In addition, there are control parts for controlling the progress of the laundry, typically a control panel, and water inlet and drainage mechanisms, etc. The drum type washing machine removes stains contained in laundry by using friction between wash water stored in a tub and the laundry in a drum and chemical action of detergent contained in the wash water.
The washing drum is used as an important part of the washing machine, is not only used for containing washings to form a washing container, but also can participate in washing work, in particular to the drum washing machine, mainly lifts and throws clothes by virtue of the rotation action of the washing drum so as to form a beating effect, and meanwhile, the washing drum has a certain rubbing effect on the clothes, so that the washing effect is achieved by virtue of beating and washing; in addition to pulsator washing, many existing pulsator washing machines also use a washing drum for washing, such as so-called "double-power" washing machines, which are popular in the market.
