The brake electromagnet 77 is energized, the brake plate 75 is attracted to the brake electromagnet 77, the brake pad 76 is deformed by compression, and the end face brake disc 74 is lifted up and separated from the brake stator 71, so that the input shaft bushing 2 can rotate without being restricted by the brake stator 71 and the brake rotor 72.
When the brake electromagnet 77 is de-energized, the brake plate 75 moves downwards, the brake pad 76 is released, the end face brake disc 74 abuts against the brake end face of the brake fixed sleeve 71 due to the self weight and the counter force of the brake pad 76, the brake fixed sleeve 71 is static, the input shaft bushing 2 decelerates but does not immediately brake, the brake movable sleeve 72 and the input shaft bushing 2 continue to rotate due to inertia, the brake torsion spring 73 generates a moment opposite to the rotation direction of the input shaft bushing 2, the brake movable sleeve 72 is tightly held, the input shaft bushing 2 is braked, and the dewatering shaft 4 immediately stops.

When the brake electromagnet 77 is energized, the brake plate 75 moves upward and is attracted to the brake electromagnet 77, and the pressure spring 79 is compressed. The brake electromagnet 77 is de-energized and the brake plate 75 falls on the head of the brake screw 78 due to the restoring force of the pressure spring 79 and its own weight.
The brake screw 78 is sleeved with a flat washer 781 between the brake plate 75 and the head of the brake screw 78.
The clutch further comprises a clutch mechanism shell 82 which is in an inverted step shape and is arranged outside the brake torsion spring 73 and the clutch torsion spring 52, and the top end of the clutch mechanism shell 82 is lower than the brake end face of the brake fixed sleeve 71, so that the end face brake disc 74 is prevented from abutting against the brake fixed sleeve 71.

Wherein, the upper end of the input oil-containing bearing 22 is positioned by a circlip fixed in the input shaft bushing 2, and the circlip is clamped on the shaft shoulder of the reduction gear section 14 of the input shaft 1.

The housing 81 is die-cast, galvanized and waterproof.
When the washing machine is in a low-speed forward and reverse rotation washing state, the clutch electromagnet 54 is electrified, the iron core acts, the clutch pin 53 is pushed to abut against the clutch torsion spring 52, and the clutch shaft sleeve is loosened. At this time, the input shaft 1 rotates in the input oil-containing bearing 22, and transmits the torque of the motor of the driving device to be decelerated through the deceleration mechanism 6, the planet tie rod 64 transmits the torque to the washing shaft 3, the washing shaft 3 rotates in the output oil-containing bearing 42, and finally the pulsator rotates forward and backward, so that the washing machine is in a low-speed washing state.

Since the brake stator 71 is connected to the brake sleeve 72 through the brake torsion spring 73, and the brake sleeve 72 is fixed to the input shaft bushing 2, the input shaft bushing 2 is stationary. Since the input shaft bushing 2 is fixed to the reduction mechanism housing 61, the reduction mechanism housing 61 is stationary. Since the dehydrating shaft 4 is fixed to the speed reducing mechanism casing 61, the dehydrating shaft 4 is stationary, so that the dehydrating tub is in a stationary state.
When the washing machine is in a one-way high-speed rotation dehydration state, the clutch electromagnet 54 is powered off, the iron core is withdrawn, the clutch shaft sleeve is tightly held due to the torsion recovery of the clutch torsion spring 52 and rotates along with the input shaft 1, the clutch torsion spring 52 is connected with the input shaft sleeve 2, and the input shaft sleeve 2 is connected with the shell of the speed reducer, so that the input shaft 1 does not directly transmit the torque of the motor to the dehydration shaft 4 through the speed reducing mechanism 6 any more, finally, the dehydration shaft 4 rotates in one way, and the washing machine is in a high-speed dehydration state.
At this time, the brake mechanism 7 is operated, that is, the brake electromagnet 77 is energized, the brake plate 75 is attracted by the brake electromagnet 77, the brake pads 76 are deformed and pressed, and the lower surface of the end face brake disk 74 is separated from the brake stator 71, so that the rotation of the input shaft bushing 2 is not restricted. At this time, the dehydrating shaft 4 and the washing shaft 3 rotate together, and the dehydrating tub and the pulsator rotate together.
When the washing machine finishes dewatering and needs braking, the brake electromagnet 77 loses power, the brake plate 75 falls on the flat washer 781 due to the elasticity and the self gravity of the pressure spring 79, the brake pad 76 is released, the end face brake disc 74 is enabled to contact the brake fixed sleeve 71 again by the counterforce of the brake pad 76, the brake fixed sleeve 71 is static, at the moment, the dewatering shaft 4 still rotates due to inertia, but the brake movable sleeve 72 is connected with the brake fixed sleeve 71 through the brake torsion spring 73, the torsion spring can not only generate reverse resistance for preventing the brake movable sleeve 72 from rotating, but also can lock the brake fixed sleeve 71 and the brake movable sleeve 72, namely lock the brake fixed sleeve 71 and the brake movable sleeve 72 with the input shaft bushing 2, and therefore the dewatering shaft 4 is in a static state. At this time, the clutch electromagnet 54 is not energized, and the iron core does not operate.
