[0036] The intermediate shaft 13 and the clutch shaft 12 are provided with a lower clutch device 10, which can slide in the axial direction, so that the lower clutch device 10 is meshed or separated with the input shaft 11, the intermediate shaft 13 and the clutch shaft 12, so as to control the relative meshing relationship between the input shaft 11, the intermediate shaft 13 and the clutch shaft 12. The lower clutch device 10 includes an inner clutch sleeve 1001 and an outer clutch sleeve 1003 separated from each other, the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is sleeved in the outer clutch sleeve 1003, the inner sleeve can rotate freely in the circumferential direction, the inner side of the outer clutch sleeve 1003 is provided with a first step surface in the circumferential direction, the outer side of the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is provided with a second step surface in the circumferential direction, the second step surface is relatively independent of the first step surface, the second step surface on the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is located on the first step surface of the outer clutch sleeve 1003, so that the inner clutch sleeve 1001 and the outer clutch sleeve 1003 are clamped in the axial direction.

[0037] The inner side wall of the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is provided with a third spline C1, the lower end is provided with a fourth meshing tooth A1, and the upper end is provided with a fifth meshing tooth A2. The inner side wall of the outer clutch sleeve 1003 is provided with a fourth spline D1, the lower end is provided with a sixth meshing tooth B1, and the upper end is provided with a seventh meshing tooth B2.

[0038] The meshing relationship of various types of teeth on the intermediate shaft 13, the clutch shaft 12, the outer clutch sleeve 1003, and the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is as follows:

[0039] The first spline at the lower end of the intermediate shaft 13 is always meshed with the third spline C1 on the inner wall of the inner clutch sleeve 1001;

[0044] The washing machine is provided with a clutch claw, and the clutch claw is connected to the double-stroke tractor. The lower clutch device 10 can be fixed in three positions, namely, upper position, middle position and lower position, from the top to the bottom of the washing machine under the action of the external clutch claw. Fig. 9 The clutch finger adjusts the position of the lower clutch device 10 under the action of the traction device, so that the outer clutch sleeve 1003 and the inner clutch sleeve 1001 are respectively in different positions, thereby controlling the relationship between the input shaft 11, the intermediate shaft 13 and the clutch shaft 12. The position relationship between the upper clutch sleeve 10 and the clutch wheel 5 is adjusted by the control system to achieve the engagement or separation of the dehydration shaft 3 and the drainage shaft 2, and finally achieve the control of different working conditions of the corresponding washing machine. Among them, the outer clutch sleeve 1003 can be fixed at three positions along the axial direction, and the inner clutch sleeve 1001 can be fixed at two positions along the axial direction. The inner clutch sleeve 1001 and the outer clutch sleeve 1003 cooperate with each other under the control of the clutch finger to form the following Fig. 9 In the three position structures shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 , and FIG. 3 , the upper clutch sleeve 10 and the clutch wheel 5 are in the upper and lower positions under the action of the control system or the clutch finger, and different working conditions of the washing machine are realized according to the action of the increased clutch. Fig. 9 The a and b mentioned in the figure represent the tooth root horizontal line and the tooth top horizontal line of the second meshing tooth on the fixed sleeve; c and d represent the tooth top horizontal line and the tooth root horizontal line of the third meshing tooth of the movable sleeve.

[0045] like Fig. 9As shown, when the lower clutch device 10 is in the first position, the traction device does not work, and under the action of the external clutch pawl spring force, the lower clutch device 10 is in the upper state, and the inner clutch sleeve 1001 and the outer clutch sleeve 1003 are both in the uppermost position. At this time, the second meshing tooth at the lower end of the fixed sleeve is meshed with the seventh meshing tooth B2 at the upper end of the outer clutch sleeve 1003; the first meshing tooth at the lower end of the clutch shaft 12 is meshed with the fifth meshing tooth A2 at the upper end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001; the third meshing tooth on the movable sleeve 17 is separated from the fourth meshing tooth A1 at the lower end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001; at the same time, the third meshing tooth on the movable sleeve 17 is separated from the sixth meshing tooth B1 of the outer clutch sleeve 1003.

[0046] Since the fixed sleeve is stationary, the second meshing teeth at the lower end of the fixed sleeve mesh with the seventh meshing teeth B2 at the upper end of the outer clutch sleeve 1003, and the outer clutch sleeve 1003 is fixed at this time; since the second spline at the lower end of the clutch shaft 12 meshes with the fourth spline D1 on the inner side wall of the outer clutch sleeve 1003, the clutch shaft 12 is fixed under the action of the outer clutch sleeve 1003. Since the first meshing teeth at the lower end of the clutch shaft 12 mesh with the fifth upper meshing teeth A2 at the upper end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001, the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is fixed at this time; since the first spline at the lower end of the intermediate shaft 13 meshes with the third spline C1 on the inner side wall of the inner clutch sleeve 1001, the intermediate shaft 13 is fixed under the action of the inner clutch sleeve 1001. At the same time, since the third meshing tooth on the movable sleeve 17 is separated from the fourth meshing tooth A1 at the lower end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001, and the third meshing tooth on the movable sleeve 17 is separated from the sixth meshing tooth B1 of the outer clutch sleeve 1003, the inner clutch sleeve 1001 and the outer clutch sleeve 1003 remain relatively independent from the input shaft 11. That is, at this time, the clutch shaft 12 and the intermediate shaft 13 are fixed by the fixed sleeve and remain relatively independent from the input shaft 11. The clutch shaft 12 is fixedly connected to the brake wheel 3, and finally the brake wheel 3 is braked, and the dehydration shaft 3 connected to the brake wheel 3 also remains stationary.

[0047] When the lower clutch device 10 is in the first position and moves toward the second position, the traction device executes the first stroke, the clutch finger rotates through a preset angle, and the inner clutch sleeve 1001 and the outer clutch sleeve 1003 of the lower clutch device 10 move downward by a stroke under the action of the small compression spring 1002 and the large compression spring 1004 respectively. At this time, the lower clutch device 10 is in the middle state, that is, the second position.

[0048] At this time, the second meshing tooth at the lower end of the fixed sleeve is meshed with the seventh meshing tooth B2 at the upper end of the outer clutch sleeve 1003; the first meshing tooth at the lower end of the clutch shaft 12 is separated from the fifth upper meshing tooth A2 at the upper end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001; the third meshing tooth on the movable sleeve is meshed with the fourth meshing tooth A1 at the lower end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001; the third meshing tooth on the movable sleeve is separated from the sixth meshing tooth B1 of the outer clutch sleeve 1003.

[0049] The fixed sleeve is fixed, and the outer clutch sleeve 1003 is fixed at this time because the second meshing teeth at the lower end of the fixed sleeve are meshed with the seventh meshing teeth B2 at the upper end of the outer clutch sleeve 1003; the second spline at the lower end of the clutch shaft 12 is meshed with the fourth spline D1 on the inner wall of the outer clutch sleeve 1003, and the clutch shaft 12 is fixed under the action of the outer clutch sleeve 1003. The movable sleeve is fixed to the input shaft 11, and the intermediate shaft 13 remains free because the third meshing teeth on the movable sleeve are separated from the sixth meshing teeth B1 of the outer clutch sleeve 1003.

[0050] Since the first meshing teeth at the lower end of the clutch shaft 12 are separated from the fifth meshing teeth A2 at the upper end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001, the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is relatively independent from the outer clutch sleeve 1003. That is, the clutch shaft 12 and the intermediate shaft 13 remain relatively independent.

[0051] The movable sleeve is fixed to the input shaft 11. Since the third meshing teeth on the movable sleeve are meshed with the four meshing teeth A1 at the lower end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001, the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is fixed to the input shaft 11. Since the first spline at the lower end of the intermediate shaft 13 is meshed with the third spline C1 on the inner side wall of the inner clutch sleeve 1001, the intermediate shaft 13 is fixed to the input shaft 11 under the action of the inner clutch sleeve 1001. That is, at this time, the clutch shaft 12 is fixed by the fixed sleeve, the intermediate shaft 13 is fixed to the input shaft 11, and the clutch shaft 12 and the intermediate shaft 13 fixed together and the input shaft 11 are relatively independent. The intermediate shaft 13 is meshed with the input shaft 11 and rotates, and the clutch shaft 12 is fixed. This is the second position of the lower clutch device 10.

[0052] When the lower clutch device 10 is in position II and moves toward position III, the double-stroke traction device performs the second action, the clutch finger rotates the preset angle again, and the position of the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is consistent with the above-mentioned opposite-direction dual power output. The outer clutch sleeve 1003 moves down one position and is in the lower state.

[0053] At this time, the second meshing tooth at the lower end of the fixed sleeve is separated from the seventh meshing tooth B2 at the upper end of the outer clutch sleeve 1003; the first meshing tooth at the lower end of the clutch shaft 12 is separated from the fifth upper meshing tooth A2 at the upper end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001; the third meshing tooth on the movable sleeve is meshed with the fourth meshing tooth A1 at the lower end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001; at the same time, the third meshing tooth on the movable sleeve is meshed with the sixth meshing tooth B1 of the outer clutch sleeve 1003.

[0054] Since the second meshing tooth at the lower end of the fixed sleeve is separated from the seventh meshing tooth B2 at the upper end of the outer clutch sleeve 1003, the outer clutch sleeve 1003 is relatively independent from the fixed sleeve, and the outer clutch sleeve 1003 is not restricted by the fixed sleeve;

[0055] Since the first meshing tooth at the lower end of the clutch shaft 12 is separated from the fifth upper meshing tooth A2 at the upper end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001 , the inner clutch sleeve 1001 and the outer clutch sleeve 1003 are relatively independent at this time.

[0056] The movable sleeve is fixed to the input shaft 11 . Since the third meshing teeth on the movable sleeve are meshed with the sixth meshing teeth B1 of the outer clutch sleeve 1003 , the outer clutch sleeve 1003 is fixed to the input shaft 11 .

[0057] Since the second spline at the lower end of the clutch shaft 12 is meshed with the fourth spline D1 on the inner wall of the outer clutch sleeve 1003 , the outer clutch sleeve 1003 is fixed to the clutch shaft 12 . That is, the clutch shaft 12 is fixed to the input shaft 11 through the outer clutch sleeve 1003 .

[0058] The movable sleeve is fixed together with the input shaft 11. Since the third meshing teeth on the movable sleeve are meshed with the fourth meshing teeth A1 at the lower end of the inner clutch sleeve 1001, the inner clutch sleeve 1001 is fixed together with the input shaft 11. Since the first spline at the lower end of the intermediate shaft 13 is meshed with the third spline C1 on the inner side wall of the inner clutch sleeve 1001, under the action of the inner clutch sleeve 1001, the intermediate shaft 13 is fixed together with the input shaft 11.

[0059] That is, at this time, the clutch shaft 12 , the intermediate shaft 13 , and the input shaft 11 are fixed together. At this time, the clutch shaft 12 , the intermediate shaft 13 , and the input shaft 11 can rotate together. This is the third position of the lower clutch device 10 .
