Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a rotary washing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the invention, and Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the installation of the rotary washing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the invention. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a supporting member 12 of the rotary washing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 4 is a partial schematic diagram of the rotary washing device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the rotary washing device 1 includes a driving body 11, a supporting member 12, a connecting member 13, and a descaling member 14. The driving body 11 is located in an inner tank of a washing machine 2. In 21, a plurality of convex portions 111 are protrudingly provided on the driving body 11, and each convex portion 111 has a blocking surface for blocking the water flow or clothes in the inner tank 21; the carrier 12 is detachably installed in the washing machine 2 On the inner tank 21, the carrier 12 can be protrudingly provided with three ring-shaped mounting feet 123, that is, two adjacent mounting feet 123 are separated by 120 degrees. The inner tank 21 of the washing machine 2 is formed with three corresponding mounting feet. The three mounting holes 211 of the feet 123, the three mounting feet 123 are used to pass through the three mounting holes 211 of the inner tank 21 of the washing machine 2, the carrier 12 has three mounting feet 123 and three mounting holes 211 is engaged and installed on the inner tank 21 of the washing machine 2; the connecting member 13 is rotatably inserted into the carrier 12, and a first end 131 of the connecting member 13 is connected to the driving body 11; The member 14 is connected to a second end 132 of the connecting member 13 opposite to the first end 131 and is substantially perpendicular to the connecting member 13. The descaling member 14 is located in the washing machine 2 Between the tank body 21 and an outer tank body 22, in this embodiment, the descaling member 14 may preferably be a brush or a soft scraper, but the present invention is not limited to this. In this way, the driving body 11 can drive the connecting member 13 to rotate relative to the inner tank 21 of the washing machine 2 when the blocking surface is pushed by water or clothes, and the blocking surface increases the water flow disturbance to improve the washing performance. effect. In addition, when the driving body 11 is impacted by the water stream or the clothes are moved to drive the connecting member 13 to rotate together relative to the inner tank 21 of the washing machine 2, the connecting member 13 can drive the descaling member 14 relative to the inner tank 21 and the washing machine 2 The outer tank 22 rotates to achieve the effect of cleaning the inner tank 21 and the outer tank 22.

When the washing machine 2 is activated, the inner tank 21 can be filled with water first, and the driving body 11 can be immersed in water, and the water in the inner tank 21 will form a rotating water flow under the driving of the washing machine 2. Since the blocking surface is formed on the surface of the driving body 11, it is not flat. When water flows through the driving body 11, the blocking surface will be impacted, and the driving body 11 will rotate. In addition, when the clothes in the inner tank 21 pass the driving body 11, the driving body 11 may also rotate due to the blocking surface being pulled by the clothes. Then, the rotating driving body 11 further scrapes the water flow with the blocking surface, so that the water flow generates more and more intense swirling turbulence. Accordingly, by generating more back-and-forth friction between the aforementioned swirling spoiler and the clothes, a higher cleaning effect can be achieved. That is to say, since the driving body 11 of the present invention is directly driven by the water flow in the inner tank 21 to rotate, and can in turn change the flow field in the inner tank 21 by this rotation, it has a coupling effect, so , The flow field in the inner tank body 21 will gradually change over time, which can be regarded as an unsteady flow field in essence. Since the unsteady flow field in the inner tank body 21 is more likely to produce a greater degree of turbulence, and the turbulence contributes to the transmission of water momentum, the flow field in the washing machine 2 of the present invention can achieve better washing effects .

It is worth noting that the structure of the rotary washing device of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the rotary washing device may also only include a driving body and a bearing. Carrying parts and connecting parts, excluding descaling parts.
