Abstract: A washing machine includes a tub, a drum, a motor, a pulsator, a coupler configured to couple and decouple a driving shaft of the motor and a drying shaft of the drum, and a clutch supporting the coupler and moving in an axial direction. The clutch includes driven protrusions extending in a vertical direction. The washing machine further includes a clutch supporter having a plurality of support surfaces that are spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction and support lower ends of the driven protrusions located between the support surfaces when the coupler is at a connection position, and guide surfaces that are located above the support surfaces in the circumferential direction and configured to interfere with the upper ends of the driven protrusions based on the clutch moving upwards from the connection position to a disconnection position to thereby rotate the driven protrusions to positions corresponding to the support surfaces.

Abstract: A method of controlling a washing machine includes rotating a motor for driving an inner shaft in a first direction, and aligning a clutch to a reference position corresponding to one of a maximum lowered position and a maximum raised position. The motor is rotated by a preset reference alignment angle in a second direction to align the clutch from the reference position to a starting position corresponding to one of an upper limit and a lower limit of a preset agitating control section. The upper limit of the agitating control section is spaced downward by a first distance from the maximum raised position, and the lower limit of the agitating control section is spaced upward by a second distance from the maximum lowered position. The motor is rotated by a starting alignment angle set according to a displacement of the clutch ranging from the starting position to a target position corresponding to the other one of the upper limit and the lower limit so that the clutch is moved from the starting position to the target position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a washing machine comprising an outer tub containing water, and an inner tub disposed in the outer tub to accommodate laundry and rotated about a horizontal axis. The washing machine includes: a motor for providing rotational force; an outer shaft that has a first hollow, and rotates the inner tub; an inner shaft disposed in the first hollow and rotated by the motor; a pulsator disposed in the inner tub and coupled with the inner shaft; a planetary gear train for transmitting rotational force of the motor; a carrier mover which has an outer circumferential surface that is spline-coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the outer shaft, and an inner circumferential surface that is screwed with an outer circumferential surface of the clutch carrier; and a stopper restricting movement of the carrier mover, thereby achieving various washing modes with a simple mechanism by rotating the inner tub and the pulsator.
