When the washing machine is in the washing state, the electromagnet in the clutch should be in a de-energized state, the drain valve is closed, and the positioning sleeve on the drain valve connecting plate and the brake lever are in a separated state.
Under the action of the brake spring, the brake lever returns to its original position, so that the brake band can hold the brake wheel and prevent the dehydration shaft from rotating. At the same time, under the action of the shift fork spring, the pawl will shift the ratchet through an angle, so that the square wire clutch spring is released. Whether the pulley is rotating forward or reverse, the washing shaft and the dehydration shaft cannot be connected as a whole. However, the pulley can drive the washing shaft and the pulsator through a planetary gear reduction mechanism to rotate forwards and backwards, so that the washing machine can be washed, but cannot be dehydrated.
