People have higher requirements for parameters such as washing effect, working time, and wear and tear on clothes. How to improve washing effect, shorten working time, and reduce the wear and tear on clothes based on existing washing machine technology is one of the main design directions of washing machines today.

[0003] An existing washing machine has an inner drum assembly and a washing machine with a limiting mechanism to restrict the relative rotation of the beating mechanism. This allows the rotating impeller to drive the beating mechanism to move up and down, beating the clothes to simulate the beating effect of manual washing. However, the lifting rod is located at the center of the inner drum, and during the operation of the washing machine, there is a problem that clothes may get tangled on the lifting rod, making the washing process impossible.

[0004] Existing technology also includes a single-wash device and control method. The single-wash device includes a housing and a pulsator. The housing has a washing chamber, and the pulsator is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the washing chamber. It also includes a connector and a squeezing member. The connector is fixedly connected to the pulsator. The squeezing member is spirally mounted on the connector. However, this method only increases friction between clothing in certain areas, failing to effectively improve the washing effect and impacting the user experience.
