Abstract

A driving apparatus for a direct-drive type washing machine includes a support member that is fixed to the lower side of a washing tub; a dehydrating tub rotating shaft that is rotatably supported on the support member and that is connected to a dehydrating tub to rotate the dehydrating tub; a pulsator rotating shaft that is rotatably arranged in the inside of the dehydrating tub rotating shaft and that is connected to a pulsator to rotate the pulsator; a drive motor comprising a double rotor including an outer rotor that is connected to the pulsator rotating shaft and an inner rotor that is connected to the dehydrating tub rotating shaft, and a double stator including a first stator coil for rotating the outer rotor and a second stator coil for rotating the inner rotor; and a motor drive unit that generates alternating-current (AC) power according to a washing control signal.
