PURPOSE: A full-automatic washing machine is provided to perform an agitation mode and a pulsator/washing tub-integrated rotation washing mode by using an outer rotor-type induction motor. CONSTITUTION: A full-automatic washing machine is composed of an outer tub disposed in an out case forming the external shape; a washing tub rotatably installed in the outer tub; a pulsator rotatably mounted to the inner lower side of the washing tub; a dewatering shaft(100) for rotating the washing tub; a washing shaft(200) combined with the pulsator; a clutch housing for covering the dewatering shaft; a stator assembly(400) for generating rotational magnetic field; a rotor assembly(500) for inducing electric currents and generating rotary power; a clutch assembly(600) having a sliding coupler(650) for controlling power transmission with sliding along the dewatering and washing shafts and a control unit for controlling movements of the sliding coupler; a projection(652) arranged on the upside of the sliding coupler and selectively connected to a combining hole formed at a stopper(660) of the clutch assembly; a drain valve for controlling water contained in the outer tub; a gear motor used for controlling a drive unit and a drain unit, connecting and operating the drain valve and a brake lever, and operating the brake lever to first and second gear ranges; and a brake assembly(700) having a brake pad(780) and the brake lever for braking the rotation of the dewatering shaft. |
