发明内容
发明所要解决的问题
本发明是在这样的背景下完成的发明，其目的在于，提供一种能选择立式洗衣机的洗涤方式和滚筒式洗衣机的洗涤方式的洗衣机。
用于解决问题的方案
本发明是一种洗衣机，包括：洗涤桶，蓄水并收容洗涤物，并绕铅直延伸的第一旋转轴线被驱动旋转；水流产生构件，配置于所述洗涤桶内，并通过被驱动旋转而在所述洗涤桶内产生水流；以及收容体，形成为中空状，可拆装地 设置于所述洗涤桶内，并绕水平延伸的第二旋转轴线被驱动旋转。
此外，本发明的特征在于，所述收容体能分体成第一部件和第二部件，在安装于所述洗涤桶内的状态下，相互组合的所述第一部件与所述第二部件的接口水平延伸。
此外，本发明的特征在于，所述洗涤桶和所述收容体能各自独立地被驱动旋转。
此外，本发明的特征在于，还包括：传递机构，所述传递机构通过来自所述水流产生构件的驱动力而使所述收容体绕所述第二旋转轴线旋转。
此外，本发明的特征在于，在所述收容体的外表面设置有多个凹陷，所述多个凹陷沿着绕所述第二旋转轴线的周向排列并被传递来自所述传递机构的驱动力。
发明效果
根据本发明，包括绕铅直延伸的第一旋转轴线被驱动旋转的洗涤桶和通过被驱动旋转而使洗涤桶内产生水流的水流产生构件的洗衣机是立式洗衣机。因此能以立式洗衣机的洗涤方式对直接收容于洗涤桶内的洗涤物进行洗涤。另一方面，该洗衣机由于中空状的收容体可拆装地设置于洗涤桶内并绕水平延伸的第二旋转轴线被驱动旋转，因此能以滚筒式洗衣机的洗涤方式对收容于收容体的洗涤物进行洗涤。也就是说，该洗衣机能选择立式洗衣机的洗涤方式和滚筒式洗衣机的洗涤方式。
此外，根据本发明，在能分体成第一部件和第二部件的收容体安装于洗涤桶内的状态下，相互组合的第一部件与第二部件的接口水平延伸并与洗涤桶的第一旋转轴线交叉。由此，洗涤桶绕第一旋转轴线脱水旋转时的离心力很难产生使第一部件与第二部件的接口打开的作用，因此能抑制在脱水旋转中第一部件与第二部件意外分离的情况。
此外，根据本发明，洗涤桶和收容体能各自独立地被驱动旋转。该情况下，只要同时分别驱动旋转洗涤桶以及收容体，收容体就不会仅绕第二旋转轴线纵向旋转，还会绕第一旋转轴线横向旋转。通过使收容体如此复杂地旋转，能高效地对收容体内的洗涤物进行洗涤。另一方面，在洗涤桶的脱水旋转中，通过 停止绕第二旋转轴线的收容体的驱动旋转，收容体能与洗涤桶一体以高速横向旋转。由此，能不受纵向旋转的影响地使脱水旋转所产生的离心力集中于收容体内的洗涤物，高效地对该洗涤物进行脱水。
此外，根据本发明，传递机构通过来自水流产生构件的驱动力而使收容体绕第二旋转轴线旋转，由此，能通过来自相同驱动源的驱动力来驱动旋转水流产生构件以及收容体双方，因此能谋求部件件数以及成本的削减。此外，由于能在通过水流产生构件所产生的水流来对收容体内的洗涤物进行洗涤的同时，通过收容体的纵向旋转来提升收容体内的洗涤物再使其自然落下的翻滚从而对收容体内的洗涤物进行洗涤，因此能进行洗涤物的高效洗涤。
此外，根据本发明，洗衣机的使用者通过在收容体的外表面上将手指扣住沿着绕第二旋转轴线的周向排列的凹陷，能容易地将收容体装卸于洗涤桶内或作为洗衣筐进行挪动。此外，由于还能将凹陷用作收容体的被传递驱动力的部分，因此能简单地构成收容体。

第一电机44配置于框架43的周围，并从下侧Z2固定于外桶3的底壁3B。第一电机44具有向下侧Z2突出的输出轴49。第一支承轴41的下端部从框架43向下侧Z2伸出配置。通过分别安装于输出轴49以及第一支承轴41的下端部的滑轮50、和缠绕于这些滑轮50的环形传动带51，第一支承轴41与输出轴49处于连结的状态。当第一电机44进行工作而产生驱动力时，该驱动力使第一支承轴41旋转。由此，固定于第一支承轴41的洗涤桶4绕第一旋转轴线J1被驱动旋转。
第二电机45经由未图示的锚栓固定于外桶3的底壁3B。第二电机45从下侧Z2连结于第二支承轴42的从框架43以及第一支承轴41向下侧Z2伸出的下端部。第二支承轴42的下端部兼作第二电机45的输出轴。当第二电机45进行工作而产生驱动力时，该驱动力使第二支承轴42旋转。由此，固定于第二支承轴42的水流产生构件5绕第一旋转轴线J1被驱动旋转。需要说明的是，在第二支承轴42的中途夹有减速机构52，第二支承轴42的旋转可以通过减速机构52减速至目标转速之后被传递至水流产生构件5。作为减速机构52，可以使用公知的结构。如此，洗涤桶4与水流产生构件5能各自独立地被驱动旋转。
洗衣机1执行的洗涤运转包括：洗涤过程，对洗涤物Q进行洗涤；漂洗过程，在洗涤过程之后对洗涤物Q进行漂洗；以及脱水过程，在漂洗过程之后使洗涤桶4旋转，将洗涤物Q脱水。
在洗涤过程中，在供水阀25打开规定时间并使外桶3以及洗涤桶4蓄水至规定水位之后，水流产生构件5被驱动旋转(参照图1)。于是，通过随着水流产生构件5的旋转而在洗涤桶4内产生的水流来搅拌洗涤桶4内的洗涤物Q， 或通过旋转的水流产生构件5的各隆起部5A来摩擦水流产生构件5上的洗涤物Q，由此，从洗涤物Q高效地去除污垢。此外，水流产生构件5产生的水流以通过各扬水路36的下端部的入口(未图示)，在扬水路36内上升并从出口35返回至洗涤桶4内的方式循环，并在此时从出口35喷淋至洗涤物Q，由此，有助于从洗涤物Q去除污垢。此外，可以向洗涤桶4内投入洗涤剂，该情况下，洗涤桶4内的洗涤物Q的污垢被洗涤剂分解。当经过规定的洗涤时间时，排水阀27打开，外桶3以及洗涤桶4被排水，由此，洗涤过程结束(参照图1)。
在漂洗过程中，在供水阀25打开规定时间并使外桶3以及洗涤桶4蓄水至规定水位之后，水流产生构件5被驱动旋转。由此，洗涤桶4内的洗涤物Q被漂洗。当经过规定的漂洗时间时，排水阀27打开，外桶3以及洗涤桶4被排水，由此，漂洗过程结束。漂洗过程可以实施多次。
在脱水过程中，在排水阀27打开的状态下，洗涤桶4被高速驱动旋转。通过该高速旋转所产生的离心力，洗涤桶4内的洗涤物Q被按在洗涤桶4的圆周壁4A上而被脱水。通过脱水而从洗涤物Q渗出的水在通过洗涤桶4的贯通孔4C流出至洗涤桶4外之后，从排水路26排出至机体外部。需要说明的是，脱水过程可以作为中间脱水过程分别在洗涤过程以及漂洗过程之后实施。该情况下，为了与中间脱水过程区分，将在最后的漂洗过程之后最终执行的脱水过程称为最终脱水过程。
包括绕铅直延伸的第一旋转轴线J1被驱动旋转的洗涤桶4、以及水流产生构件5的洗衣机1是立式洗衣机。因此，洗衣机1能对直接收容于洗涤桶4内的洗涤物Q以如上所述的立式洗衣机的洗涤方式进行洗涤。
洗衣机1还包括图5所示的传递机构60以及收容体61。与传递机构60关联地，在洗涤桶4的圆周壁4A的下部的沿着周向S相隔180度的两个位置、或夹着第一旋转轴线J1对置配置的两个扬水构件6的各自的下部，逐一也就是合计设置有两个止挡件62。止挡件62形成为向洗涤桶4的内部空间露出并向径向内侧R1突出的块状。在止挡件62形成有从其上端面向下侧Z2凹陷并向径向内侧R1敞开的接受槽63。形成接受槽63的底部的下端处于被堵塞的状态。两个止挡件62的接受槽63彼此处于夹着第一旋转轴线J1对置的状态。与传递机构60关联地，在水流产生构件5的上面部的圆心部分形成有向下侧Z2凹陷的凹部 5B。凹部5B俯视时具有圆形的内周面，在该内周面以沿周向S排列的方式形成有沿上下方向Z延伸的榫齿64(参照图6)。
与收容体61关联地，在夹着第一旋转轴线J1对置配置的两个扬水构件6逐一也就是合计设置有两个定位部65。定位部65是扬水构件6的在径向内侧R1的侧面部向径向外侧R2凹陷的凹部。这两个扬水构件6的定位部65彼此处于夹着第一旋转轴线J1对置的状态。此外，在这两个扬水构件6的径向内侧R1的侧面部，形成有从扬水构件6的上端向下侧Z2延伸并与定位部65相连的引导槽66。引导槽66包括：垂直部分66A，从扬水构件6的上端沿着垂直方向V向下侧Z2延伸；倾斜部分66B，从垂直部分66A的下端向周向S偏离，由此一边倾斜一边向下侧Z2延伸；以及水平部分66C，从倾斜部分66B的下端沿着水平方向H在周向S上延伸并与定位部65相连(参照图2)。垂直部分66A、倾斜部分66B以及水平部分66C与定位部65一起向径向内侧R1露出，垂直部分66A的上端部从洗涤桶4的出入口30向上侧Z1露出。
参照将图5中的传递机构60及其周边放大进行详细表示的图6，传递机构60包括：框架70、固定部71、输入部72、转换部73、以及输出部74。框架70例如形成为金属制的箱状。以图6中的传递机构60的姿势为基准，固定部71形成为沿水平方向H延伸的棒状，固定部71的长边方向的中央部从下侧Z2固定于框架70(也参照图7)。
输入部72包括：第一旋转轴75，插通形成于框架70的底壁的贯通孔70A并纵向延伸；以及齿轮76，固定于第一旋转轴75的从贯通孔70A向下侧Z2伸出的下端部。齿轮76形成为具有沿上下方向Z延伸的中心轴线的圆柱状，在其外周面，作为齿轮76的轮齿，以沿该外周面的周向排列的方式形成有沿上下方向Z延伸的榫齿77。需要说明的是，框架70的底壁的将贯通孔70A包边的部分与第一旋转轴75的间隙处于由垫片等密封构件88堵塞的状态。
转换部73配置于框架70内。转换部73包括：第一伞齿轮78，固定于第一旋转轴75的上端部；第二旋转轴79，横向延伸；一对轴承80，固定于框架70并自由旋转地支承第二旋转轴79的长边方向的两端部；以及第二伞齿轮81，固定于第二旋转轴79的长边方向的中途部并与第一伞齿轮78啮合。作为轴承80，例如可以使用滚动轴承。
输出部74包括：第三旋转轴82，在第二旋转轴79的上侧Z1与第二旋转轴79平行地延伸；一对轴承83，固定于框架70并自由旋转地支承第三旋转轴82的长边方向的两端部；以及旋转体84，固定于第三旋转轴82的长边方向的中途部。作为轴承83，例如可以使用滚动轴承。在框架70的上面部，形成有向下侧Z2凹陷的凹部70B。第三旋转轴82的中途部以及旋转体84通过被收容于凹部70B而向框架70外露出。旋转体84形成为具有横向延伸的中心轴线的圆柱状，其圆心部分固定于第三旋转轴82的中途部。在旋转体84的外周面，以沿该外周面的周向等间隔排列的方式设置有多个突起84A。收容于凹部70B的旋转体84的外周面的上侧Z1的区域从凹部70B向上侧Z1伸出配置。需要说明的是，框架70的面向凹部70B并供第三旋转轴82插通的部分70C与第三旋转轴82的间隙处于由垫片等密封构件85堵塞的状态。需要说明的是，在框架70形成有收容一方的轴承83的收容空间70D、和拆装于收容空间70D时使该轴承83通过的拆装口70E，拆装口70E由盖构件89堵塞。框架70的拆装口70E的周缘部与盖构件89的间隙处于由其它密封构件90堵塞的状态。
传递机构60包括：滑轮86，分别安装于第二旋转轴79以及第三旋转轴82；以及环形传动带87，缠绕于这些滑轮86。滑轮86以及传动带87配置于框架70内。通过滑轮86以及传动带87，第二旋转轴79与第三旋转轴82处于连结的状态。
参照示出展开状态下的收容体61的纵剖图的图8，收容体61能分体成第一部件91和第二部件92。第一部件91以及第二部件92例如是金属制，彼此具有几乎相同的形状以及大小。第一部件91以及第二部件92各自一体地包括：碗状的分体主体部93、半圆柱状的第一分体轴94、以及半圆柱状的第二分体轴95。
分体主体部93的具体形状可以是图8所示的大致半球状，也可以是大致长方体状。在分体主体部93形成有：凹陷93A，形成分体主体部93的内部空间；开口部93B，作为凹陷93A的入口使凹陷93A向外部露出；以及许多贯通孔93C，与开口部93B分开设置并使凹陷93A向外部露出。第一分体轴94从分体主体部93的将开口部93B包边的部分突出设置。第一部件91以及第二部件92各自的第一分体轴94彼此处于经由连结轴96连结的状态。
第二分体轴95配置于使其与第一分体轴94之间夹着开口部93B的位置。 第二分体轴95设置为从分体主体部93的将开口部93B包边的部分向与第一分体轴94侧相反侧突出。因此，在各个第一部件91以及第二部件92中，第一分体轴94和第二分体轴95配置于同一直线上。在各第二分体轴95的远离第一分体轴94的所述相反侧的端面95A，形成有向第一分体轴94侧凹陷的凹部95B。凹部95B从端面95A、和半圆柱状的第二分体轴95的与端面95A正交并向开口部93B侧延伸的平坦面95C双方露出。在第一部件91的凹部95B，形成有从凹部95B的底部进一步向第一分体轴94侧凹陷的卡合槽95D。在第二部件92的凹部95B，设置有横切凹部95B进行延伸的支承轴95E、和连结于支承轴95E的卡合构件95F。卡合构件95F能绕支承轴95E转动，卡合构件95F的与支承轴95E侧相反侧的顶端部弯曲形成为钩状。
图8的收容体61处于以使第一部件91以及第二部件92中的所有的第一分体轴94以及第二分体轴95在同一直线上排列的方式展开的状态。当从该状态使第一部件91以及第二部件92的一方相对于另一方绕连结轴96相对转动并使第一部件91以及第二部件92各自的分体主体部93的开口部93B彼此对接时，如图9所示，收容体61闭合而合体。在合体后的收容体61中，第一部件91以及第二部件92的分体主体部93彼此组合，构成一个中空状的主体部97。主体部97在图9中形成为大致球状，但也可以形成为大致长方体状。此外，在合体后的收容体61中，第一部件91以及第二部件92的第一分体轴94彼此组合，构成一个圆柱状的第一旋转轴98，第一部件91以及第二部件92的第二分体轴95彼此组合，构成一个圆柱状的第二旋转轴99。第一旋转轴98和第二旋转轴99、以及由夹在这些旋转轴之间的主体部97配置于第二旋转轴线J2这一相同的直线上。
在合体后的收容体61中，第二部件92的第二分体轴95的卡合构件95F的顶端部卡合于第一部件91的第二分体轴95的卡合槽95D，由此，第一部件91与第二部件92组合的状态被维持(参照图8)。卡合于卡合槽95D的卡合构件95F配置于未从第二旋转轴99的表面伸出的位置。如此，作为用于像这样将第一部件91和第二部件92锁定的锁定机构，不限于使用卡合构件95F以及卡合槽95D的结构，也可以使用其它结构。如上所述，设置有连结轴96的一对第一分体轴94、和设置有卡合槽95D以及卡合构件95F的某一方的一对第二分体轴 95兼作合体后的收容体61的旋转轴。
在形成收容体61的外表面61A的主体部97的外周面，在避开贯通孔93C的区域，设置有多个凹陷100。该区域是第二旋转轴线J2的延伸方向上的主体部97的大致中央部。这些凹陷100遍及绕第二旋转轴线J2的周向上的该区域的整个区域，沿着该周向等间隔地排列。如示出图9的C-C剖面的一部分的图10所示，各凹陷100例如通过使主体部97的外壁向第二旋转轴线J2侧凹陷来形成。
在展开的收容体61(参照图8)，在第一部件91或第二部件92的分体主体部93的凹陷93A配置洗涤物Q，之后，当如上所述关闭收容体61时，洗涤物Q收容于合体后的收容体61的主体部97内。在将该洗涤物Q在洗衣机1中进行洗涤的情况下，首先，使用者打开门13以及21，之后，使图6的姿势的传递机构60从开口部12、出入口20以及30下降并安装于洗涤桶4内(也参照图5)。
如图6所示，在安装于洗涤桶4内的传递机构60中，固定部71的长边方向的两端部以在周向S上具有游隙的方式被从上侧Z1一一纳入各止挡件62的接受槽63并处于载置于接受槽63的底部的状态(也参照图7)。此外，输入部72的齿轮76处于从上侧Z1嵌入水流产生构件5的凹部5B且凹部5B的榫齿64与齿轮76的榫齿77榫齿嵌合的状态。除了此处的榫齿嵌合以外，还可以使用花键嵌合、键嵌合等方式将传递机构60连结于水流产生构件5。此外，传递机构60除了固定部71的两端部这两个部位之外，还可以通过三个部位以上固定于洗涤桶4。
接着，使用者如图5所示，将手指扣住合体后的收容体61的凹陷100，拿起收容体61，使其从开口部12、出入口20以及30下降，安装于洗涤桶4内。此时，收容体61的第一旋转轴98以及第二旋转轴99各自一一从上侧Z1进入对置配置的两个扬水构件6的各自的引导槽66的垂直部分66A。第一旋转轴98以及第二旋转轴99各自按照顺序通过引导槽66的垂直部分66A以及倾斜部分66B，然后，在水平部分66C向周向S水平移动，嵌入定位部65(参照图2)。
由于嵌入定位部65的第一旋转轴98以及第二旋转轴99各自处于以不会向上侧Z1脱落的方式在上下方向Z上被定位的状态，因此安装于洗涤桶4内的收容体61在洗涤桶4内被保持于上下方向Z上的固定位置。传递机构60的旋转 体84的位于最上侧Z1的突起84A处于从下侧Z2嵌入该状态下的收容体61的位于最下侧Z2的凹陷100的状态。此外，收容体61的相互组合的第一部件91与第二部件92的接口T处于从洗衣机1的左右方向X观察与第二旋转轴线J2一致并在图5中沿着前后方向Y水平延伸的状态。此外，位于收容体61的下侧Z2的传递机构60的第二旋转轴79以及第三旋转轴82(参照图6)处于与第二旋转轴线J2平行地延伸的状态。
接着，门13以及21关闭之后，开始上述洗涤运转，执行洗涤过程、漂洗过程以及脱水过程。在洗涤过程中，在外桶3以及洗涤桶4蓄水至规定水位之后，水流产生构件5被驱动旋转。参照图6，此时水流产生构件5从第二电机45(参照图4)接受的驱动力使传递机构60的与水流产生构件5榫齿嵌合的输入部72的第一旋转轴75绕第一旋转轴线J1横向旋转。第一旋转轴75的横向旋转通过转换部73的第一伞齿轮78以及第二伞齿轮81被转换成第二旋转轴79的纵向旋转。第二旋转轴79的纵向旋转经由滑轮86以及传动带87传递至第三旋转轴82，使第三旋转轴82以及旋转体84纵向旋转。
参照图5，旋转体84的纵向旋转经由收容体61的凹陷100和嵌入该凹陷100的突起84A传递至收容体61。如此，传递机构60通过来自水流产生构件5的驱动力，使收容体61以绕水平延伸的第二旋转轴线J2纵向旋转的方式被驱动旋转。因此，在洗涤过程中，收容体61内的洗涤物Q在随着收容体61的纵向旋转而升起之后自然落下，由此，像滚筒式洗衣机那样样被捶洗。在捶洗中，与立式洗衣机的洗涤方式下的由水流产生构件5进行的擦洗相比，能抑制洗涤过程中的洗涤物Q的损伤。此外，随着水流产生构件5的旋转而在洗涤桶4内产生的水流从收容体61的贯通孔93C进入收容体61内，搅拌收容体61内的洗涤物Q，由此，有助于从洗涤物Q去除污垢。也就是说，能在通过水流产生构件5所产生的水流对收容体61内的洗涤物Q进行洗涤的同时，通过伴随着收容体61的纵向旋转的翻滚来进行洗涤，因此能进行洗涤物的高效洗涤。当经过规定的清洗时间时，排水阀27打开，使外桶3以及洗涤桶4被排水，由此，洗涤过程结束。
在漂洗过程中，在供水阀25打开规定时间并使外桶3以及洗涤桶4蓄水至规定水位之后，水流产生构件5被驱动旋转，收容体61与水流产生构件5的旋 转连动地绕第二旋转轴线J2纵向旋转。此时，随着水流产生构件5的旋转而在洗涤桶4内产生的水流在进入收容体61内对收容体61内的洗涤物Q进行漂洗之后，从收容体61的贯通孔93C流出至收容体61外。当经过规定的漂洗时间时，排水阀27打开，外桶3以及洗涤桶4被排水，由此，漂洗过程结束。
在脱水过程中，在排水阀27打开的状态下，仅洗涤桶4被高速驱动旋转。因此，水流产生构件5处于未被驱动旋转的状态，水流产生构件5、传递机构60以及收容体61与洗涤桶4一体地绕第一旋转轴线J1横向旋转。通过由该旋转产生的离心力，收容体61内的洗涤物Q被按在收容体61的主体部97的内周面上而被脱水。通过脱水而从洗涤物Q渗出的水在通过主体部97的贯通孔93C流出至主体部97外之后，从排水路26排出至机体外部。
如上所述，当使用了收容体61的洗涤运转结束时，使用者打开门13以及21。然后，只要使安装于洗涤桶4内的状态的收容体61以及传递机构60按顺序向开口部12的上侧Z1移动，就能使收容体61以及传递机构60从洗涤桶4内脱离。此时，使用者通过将手指扣住收容体61的外表面61A的凹陷100，能容易地使收容体61脱离洗涤桶4内并在此之后容易地作为洗衣筐搬运到晾衣场所。此外，如上所述，由于还能将凹陷100如上所述用作收容体61的被传递来自传递机构60的驱动力的部分，因此能简单地构成收容体61。
如上所述，洗衣机1能以滚筒式洗衣机的洗涤方式对收容于收容体61的洗涤物Q进行洗涤。也就是说，洗衣机1能选择立式洗衣机的洗涤方式和滚筒式洗衣机的洗涤方式。因此，例如对极脏的洗涤物Q而言，能在收容体61以及传递机构60从洗涤桶4内脱离的状态下的洗衣机1中，通过立式洗衣机的洗涤方式高效地进行洗涤(参照图1)。另一方面，例如对布料容易损伤的洗涤物Q而言，能在收容体61以及传递机构60安装于洗涤桶4内的状态下的洗衣机1中，通过滚筒式洗衣机的洗涤方式柔和地进行洗涤(参照图5)。
此外，在收容体61安装于洗涤桶4内的状态下，相互组合的第一部件91与第二部件92的接口T水平延伸并与洗涤桶4的第一旋转轴线J1大致正交。因此，在脱水过程中，由于洗涤桶4绕第一旋转轴线J1脱水旋转时的离心力难以产生使第一部件91与第二部件92的接口T打开的作用，因此能抑制在脱水旋转中第一部件91与第二部件92意外分离的情况。
此外，传递机构60通过来自水流产生构件5的驱动力而使收容体61绕第二旋转轴线J2旋转，由此，能通过来自第二电机45(参照图4)这一相同驱动源的驱动力来驱动旋转水流产生构件5以及收容体61双方，因此能谋求部件件数以及成本的削减。
此外，如上所述，由于洗涤桶4与水流产生构件5能各自独立地被驱动旋转，因此洗涤桶4和与水流产生构件5连动的收容体61能各自独立地被驱动旋转。该情况下，只要同时分别驱动旋转洗涤桶4以及收容体61，收容体61除了绕第二旋转轴线J2纵向旋转之外，还会绕第一旋转轴线J1横向旋转。在洗涤过程以及漂洗过程中，可以如上所述使收容体61复杂地旋转，在此情况下，能以无伤的方式均匀高效地洗涤收容体61内的洗涤物Q。需要说明的是，在具有烘干功能的洗衣机1中，在通过向收容体61内供给热风来对收容体61内的洗涤物Q进行烘干的情况下，由于如此横向旋转以及纵向旋转的收容体61内的洗涤物Q被高效搅拌，因此能均匀高效地烘干洗涤物Q，并且能抑制烘干后的洗涤物Q产生褶皱的情况。
在脱水过程中，如上所述，停止水流产生构件5以及收容体61的各自的驱动旋转而仅驱动旋转洗涤桶4，由此，收容体61能与洗涤桶4一体地高速横向旋转。由此，能不受纵向旋转的影响地使脱水旋转的离心力集中于收容体61内的洗涤物Q，高效地对该洗涤物Q进行脱水。
