         7 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the outer tank is formed with a drainage port for draining water in the outer tank, and an overflow port for allowing water above a specified water level in the outer tank to overflow outside the outer tank; and   the water paths, the drainage port and the overflow port are respectively separated.   
     
     
         8 . The washing machine according to  claim 2 , wherein
 receiving ports in the water paths to receive water stored in the outer tank are arranged near the bottom wall of the washing tank.   
     
     
         9 . The washing machine according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the receiving ports are set to be as high as the blades.   
     
     
         10 . The washing machine according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the receiving ports are configured to face a direction between a normal direction relative to a rotary direction of the washing tank and a tangential direction relative to the rotary direction.   
     
     
         11 . The washing machine according to  claim 9 , wherein
 the receiving ports are configured to face a direction between a normal direction relative to a rotary direction of the washing tank and a tangential direction relative to the rotary direction.   
     
     
         12 . The washing machine according to  claim 4 , wherein
 a labyrinth structure, for preventing water stored in the outer tank from leaking to a gap between the outer tank and the washing tank above the receiving port, is arranged.   
     
     
         13 . The washing machine according to  claim 5 , wherein
 a labyrinth structure, for preventing water stored in the outer tank from leaking to a gap between the outer tank and the washing tank above the receiving port, is arranged.   
     
     
         14 . The washing machine according to  claim 8 , wherein
 a labyrinth structure, for preventing water stored in the outer tank from leaking to a gap between the outer tank and the washing tank above the receiving port, is arranged.   
     
     
         15 . The washing machine according to  claim 9 , wherein
 a labyrinth structure, for preventing water stored in the outer tank from leaking to a gap between the outer tank and the washing tank above the receiving port, is arranged.   
     
     
         16 . The washing machine according to  claim 10 , wherein
 a labyrinth structure, for preventing water stored in the outer tank from leaking to a gap between the outer tank and the washing tank above the receiving port, is arranged.
