Washing machine

Abstract

Provided is a washing machine which includes: a washing drum having an inner drum capable of rotating around an axis; a agitator capable of rotating in order to agitate the washings in the inner drum; a motor for rotating the inner drum and the agitator; a rotating mechanism; and a microcomputer. The rotating mechanism can rotate the washing drum about the axis in a manner of crossing with an up-down direction, so as to change a rotating angle of the washing drum. The microcomputer controls the motor and the rotating mechanism so as to execute washing operation for rotating the agitator in reverse or rotating the inner drum at multiple rotating angles.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A washing machine, comprising:
 a washing drum having an inner drum and an outer drum, wherein the inner drum is a cylindrical inner drum for accommodating washings and is capable of rotating around an axis of the inner drum, the outer drum accommodates the inner drum, the washing drum is capable of rotating in a manner where the axis crosses with a vertical direction;   an agitator capable of rotating to agitate the washings in the inner drum;   a motor for rotating the inner drum and the agitator;   a rotating mechanism for rotating the washing drum to change a crossing angle between the vertical direction and the axis; and   a controller for controlling the motor and the rotating mechanism so as to execute a washing operation where the agitator rotates in reverse or the inner drum rotates at a plurality of the crossing angle.   
     
     
         2 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein
 under a state that the washing drum rotates in the washing operation, the controller rotates the agitator in reverse or rotates the inner drum.
