CLUTCH DEVICE AND WASHING MACHINE

摘要

A clutch device may include; a first rotor body; a second rotor body engageable with the first rotor body; a clutch drive motor connected with a first drive line and a second drive line; a clutch mechanism; a first switch comprising first and second contact point electrodes; a second switch comprising first and second contact point electrodes; a first terminal electrically connected with of the first contact point electrode of the first switch; a second terminal electrically connected with the first drive line; a third terminal electrically connected with the first contact point electrode of the second switch; and a fourth terminal electrically connecting with the second drive line. The second contact point electrode of the first switch and the second contact point electrode of the second switch may be electrically connected with the second drive line.

1. A clutch device structured to connect and disconnect transmission of a rotation drive force from a motor to a washing tub, the clutch device comprising:
a first rotor body to which the rotation drive force of the motor is transmitted; a second rotor body which is engageable with the first rotor body; a clutch drive motor which is connected with a first drive line and a second drive line and is structured to be rotated by electric power supplied through the first drive line and the second drive line; a clutch mechanism which is driven by the clutch drive motor to perform switching between a connecting state where the rotation drive force is transmitted from the first rotor body to the second rotor body and a disconnecting state where the connecting state is released; a first switch which is switched from an “ON” state to an “OFF” state when switched from the connecting state to the disconnecting state, the first switch comprising first and second contact point electrodes; a second switch which is switched from an “ON” state to an “OFF” state when switched from the disconnecting state to the connecting state, the second switch comprising first and second contact point electrodes; a first terminal which is electrically connected with the first contact point electrodes of the first switch; a second terminal which is electrically connected with the first drive line; a third terminal which is electrically connected with the first contact point electrodes of the second switch; and a fourth terminal which is electrically connecting with the second drive line; wherein the second contact point electrodes of the first switch and the second contact point electrodes of the second switch are electrically connected with the second drive line.
