Drum type washing machine

摘要

A drum type washing machine has axially-extending lifters arranged around an inner peripheral surface of a rotating tub which is upwardly inclined to allow easy laundry loading and unloading. The lifters each have a height gradually reducing to correspond to the inclination angle of the rotating tub from a rear end of the rotating tub to a front end thereof. Each lifter has, at its top portion, a wave-shaped structure including crests and valleys alternately arranged at a certain pitch. Each of the crests and valleys has water spray holes. The lifter includes at least one partition plate which divides the interior of the lifter into at least two chambers. Accordingly, wash water raised by each lifter is uniformly sprayed throughout the length of the lifter.
