ABSTRACT:
A washing machine is disclosed, in which a structure of transmitting power to a wobbler is improved. The outer tub is provided in a cabinet, an inner tub rotatably provided in the outer tub, and the wobbler is provided in the inner tub. A cylindrical dehydration shaft passes through the outer tub, and is connected to a bottom of the inner tub, and a wash shaft passes through inside of the dehydration shaft and the bottom of the inner tub. A motor rotates the wash shaft in a direction or in an opposite direction. A clutch assembly, operated according to a signal of a control unit, selectively transmits rotating force of the wash shaft to the dehydration shaft. A rotation guide having a flat section in spiral form is projected on the upper end of the wash shaft. An inclined shaft has a top end being coupled to the wobbler and a bottom end being supported by an inner circumferential surface of the guide, and rotates the bottom end of the inclined shaft about a center axis of the wash shaft and wobbling the wobbler during the rotation of the wash shaft. Guiding means supports the inclined shaft and guides the rotation of the inclined shaft.
