The present invention relates to an automatic cooking system with a cooking tool, further comprising an ingredient storage and feeding apparatus and an ingredient conveying and dispensing apparatus; wherein, the ingredient storage and feeding apparatus comprises a plurality of storage units with inlets and outlets, a plurality of ingredient boxes are provided between the inlets and outlets; the ingredient conveying and dispensing apparatus is provided with a work position, which is located on one side of the cooking tool; and the ingredient conveying and dispensing apparatus transports the ingredient boxes to the work position and then rotates so that the ingredient boxes are turned over to pour the required ingredients into the cooking tool. The present invention provides an innovative automatic cooking system, which realizes the integration of the classified storage and transportation of ingredients, and a single ingredient is used as a storage unit, and ingredients can be automatically transported from different storage units to the pot according to the order of adding the ingredients to the dishes, so that one cooking machine can cook more different dishes, thereby avoiding the change of the taste due to pre-mixing of multiple ingredients, and reducing the labor demand.

A dishwasher includes a dishwashing tub in which dishes are washed; a first tank configured to store therein cold washing water to be used for a next stroke; and a second tank configured to store therein hot washing water, which has been used in the dishwashing tub. The second tank is placed adjacently to the first tank to transfer heat from the stored hot washing water to the cold washing water. An opening is configured to deliver the hot washing water to the dishwashing tub; and a circulation pipe is configured to connect the dishwashing tub and the second tank to enable the hot washing water to circulate between the second tank and the dishwashing tub. A circulation valve is configured to allow the hot washing water to pass therethrough or to block the hot washing water from passing therethrough.

A system and method for washing items with water includes a water inlet and a container for receiving the items to be washed. The system comprises a water purification apparatus for purifying water introduced through said water inlet to produce purified water. The water purification apparatus comprises at least one filter for filtering off particulate solids, a reverse osmosis device, and at least one deionizing filter. The system further comprises a reservoir for storing purified water produced by the water purification apparatus, said reservoir being connected to said water purification apparatus and said container, so that the items are washable inside the container with the purified water.

A system for and method of improving fluid flow is provided. The system includes a discharge manifold defining a primary flow path partially obstructed by one or more flow diverter. The flow diverter includes an obtrusion pair, each obtrusion of the obtrusion pair extending from a rear wall of the discharge manifold into an interior area of the discharge manifold, thereby creating a void along the primary flow path. The system further includes a first nozzle extending through the primary flow path and into the void such that a nozzle inlet of the first nozzle is positioned at least partially within the void. The system further includes a plurality of subsequent nozzles, each of the first and subsequent nozzles defining a respective secondary flow path for directing fluid away from the discharge manifold. The method includes utilizing obtrusion pairs to reduce or eliminate hydraulic skip.

The present disclosure relates to a dishmachine that includes one or more features directed to water, energy or material savings. The disclosed dishmachines are still capable of meeting the soil demands of the articles to be cleaned.

A compact dishwasher for cleaning a few eating utensils includes a wash container disposed on a base. A clean water tank is disposed on the base and in fluid communication with the wash container for supplying clean water to the wash container. A wastewater tank is disposed on the base and in fluid communication with the wash container for receiving wastewater from the wash container. A housing body encompasses the wash container, the clean water tank, and the wastewater tank. The dishwasher can further comprise a first pump for facilitating pressurized discharge of clean water in the wash container and a second pump disposed for facilitating drainage of wastewater from the wash container into the wastewater tank. A heating coil can be employed to provide hot water to the wash container. The dishwasher can further include a cleaning basket insertable through the top of the dishwasher.

The present disclosure relates to a dishmachine that includes at least two tanks and methods of using the tanks to isolate, substantially isolate, or incrementally isolate different chemistries from each other during a cycle. The disclosed dishmachine design and method allows for the use of two different, and potentially incompatible, reactive, or offsetting chemistries to be used in the same dishmachine cycle.

A dishwasher and method utilize one or more sprayers to generate steam within a wash tub of a dishwasher by directing one or more sprays of fluid onto a heating element disposed in the wash tub of the dishwasher.

A clothes treating device includes: a cabinet; a tub having an inlet at an upper part; a drum provided inside the tub and having a through-hole on a bottom surface thereof; a stirring part rotatably disposed in through-hole; a driving part provided on the lower part of the stirring part so as to provide power for rotating the stirring part and/or the drum; and a coupling provided between the stirring part and the driving part so as to be rotated by the power, and provided so as to rotate the stirring part and the drum in different directions or rotate only the stirring part when a water level of the tub is greater than or equal to a certain water level, and to rotate the stirring part and the drum in the same direction when the water level is less than to the certain water level.

An appliance having: a control unit managing the operation of the appliance; at least one hydraulic component actionable for distributing water/treating liquids within the appliance; a plurality of sensors arranged for acquiring information regarding physical parameters associated with the operation of the appliance, and a module managing at least part of the water/treating liquids distribution within the appliance. The module includes the at least one hydraulic component; at least two sensors of the plurality of sensors, and a local control unit managing the operation of the at least one hydraulic component and/or receiving the information acquired by the at least two sensors.
