Clutch assembly and washing machine with same

Abstract

The invention discloses a clutch assembly and a washing machine with the same. The clutch assembly includes: a ratchet wheel; a shift fork with a first pawl; The fork is rotatably connected, the other end of the dial is rotatably connected with the housing, and the dial is rotatably connected with a second pawl; wherein, in the washing state, the first pawl and the second pawl are respectively connected to the ratchet wheel. The different tooth fits, the angle between the first surface of the first pawl that cooperates with the corresponding tooth and the second surface of the tooth that cooperates with the first pawl is α, and the angle between the second surface of the second pawl and the corresponding tooth The included angle between the third mating surface and the fourth mating surface of the tooth is β, and α and β satisfy: 0≤α≤45°, 0≤β≤45°. According to the clutch assembly of the embodiment of the present invention, it is beneficial to reduce the rotation range of the shift fork and the shift block, and can make the cooperation between the first ratchet and the second ratchet and the ratchet reliable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of household electrical appliances, in particular to a clutch assembly and a washing machine having the same. Background technique [0002] In the related art, the clutch assembly occupies a large space, which leads to a large space occupation of the washing machine and reduces the product competitiveness of the washing machine. Therefore, how to reduce the space occupation of the clutch assembly is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a clutch assembly, which is beneficial to realize that both the first pawl and the second pawl are disengaged from the ratchet when the shift fork rotates at a small angle, and is beneficial to reduce the size of the shift fork and the shift block. range of rotat...
