ELECTRIC WASHING MACHINE AND ELECTRIC WASHING MACHINE WITH DRYING FUNCTION

摘要

Vertical vibration is simply applied to clothes loaded in a rotating drum, so that cleaning efficiency or drying efficiency of clothes is improved. The upper surface of a pulsator (100) is constituted of protruding sections (101) formed in a radial pattern from the rotating axis (P) and valley sections (102) formed between the protruding sections (101). The protruding sections (101) are shaped so as to gradually protrude from the rotating axis (P) toward the outer periphery. In an extended cross-section of a circle a predetermined distance (L1) away from the rotating axis (P), the surface of the pulsator (100) is shaped such that the protruding sections (101) gradually become the valley sections (102) and the valley section (102) gradually become the protruding sections (101).
