Abstract

Disclosed is a washing machine driver, comprising an electric motor, a washing axle ( 51 ), a dehydration axle sleeve ( 52 ) sheathed on the washing axle ( 51 ) and a gear reduction mechanism, wherein the washing axle ( 51 ) is coaxially mounted inside a motor rotor ( 23 ) of the electric motor and is fixed to an output gear ( 332 ) of the gear reduction mechanism, and an input gear shaft ( 31 ) of the gear reduction mechanism is inserted inside a shaft hole of the motor rotor ( 23 ). Since the input gear shaft ( 31 ) of the gear reduction mechanism is inserted inside the shaft hole of the motor rotor ( 23 ), the motor rotor acts as the gear carrier of the gear reduction mechanism, effectively combining the gear reduction mechanism and the electric motor in one, thereby reducing the axial size of the washing machine driver, making the structure of the washing machine driver simple and compact so as to occupy a small space. Furthermore, since the transmission ratio of the gear reduction mechanism has a large range, a large reduction ratio output can be achieved.

Claims
