PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a washing machine capable of washing an outer tub evenly.SOLUTION: A washing machine includes: a housing; an outer tub supported in the housing and for storing water inside; an inner tub supported in the outer tub in a rotatable manner; and a driving device for rotationally driving the inner tub. A water storage part for storing water is formed on an upper surface of the inner tub. Water supply means for supplying water to the water storage part is provided. The water storage part is formed so as to be sandwiched by an inner peripheral side raised part and an outer peripheral side raised part, and depth of the water storage part is formed in such a manner that the outer peripheral side is deeper than the inner peripheral side with respect to a rotary shaft of the inner tub. By accelerating the rotation speed of the inner tub by driving the driving device, the water stored in the water storage part by supplying water by using the water supply means is dispersed to an inner peripheral wall of the outer tub.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 【課題】外槽を満遍なく洗浄できる洗濯機を提供する。【解決手段】筺体と、該筺体内に支持され内部に水を溜める外槽と、該外槽内に回転自在に支持される内槽と、該内槽を回転駆動させる駆動装置と、を備えた洗濯機において、前記内槽の上面に、水を溜める水溜め部を形成し、前記水溜め部に給水する給水手段を備え、前記水溜め部は、内周側隆起部と外周側隆起部とで挟まれるように形成され、前記水溜め部の深さは、前記内槽の回転軸に対して内周側より外周側が深く形成され、前記駆動装置を駆動して前記内槽の回転速度を加速させることで、前記給水手段を用いて前記水溜め部に給水して溜められた水を前記外槽の内周壁に飛散させる。【選択図】 図７
