The invention relates to a deceleration 
clutch device. The deceleration 
clutch device comprises a shell, a 
clutch shaft sleeve and a shifting fork, wherein the upper portion of the clutch shaft sleeve is connected with the shell, and the shifting fork makes contact with the clutch shaft sleeve. 
Relative motion exists between the shifting fork and the clutch shaft sleeve, and lubricating 
grease is arranged on the surface where the shifting fork makes contact with the clutch shaft sleeve so as to reduce the sliding 
friction force between the shifting fork and the clutch shaft sleeve. The invention further relates to a washing 
machine. The washing 
machine is provided with the deceleration clutch device. The lubricating 
grease is arranged on the surface where a positioning 
flange makes contact with the shifting fork so as to reduce the sliding 
friction force between the positioning 
flange and the shifting fork, the sliding speed of the shifting fork is increased, the up-down sliding speed of the clutch shaft sleeve is increased, the speed at which a 
dewatering shaft is separated from a rotor and the speed at which the 
dewatering shaft is approached to the rotor are increased, the difference between the rotating time and the set time of a washing 
barrel is reduced, the frictional abnormal 
noise is reduced, the reliable performance of a clutch is improved, and the user experience effect is improved.
