An artificial intelligence dishwasher including a dish rack on which dishes are arranged, a spray nozzle configured to spray washing water toward the dishes, a washing pump configured to feed washing water stored in a sump to the spray nozzle, a washing motor configured to drive the washing pump, a camera configured to capture the dish rack to obtain a dish arrangement image, and a processor configured to provide the dish arrangement image to a dish recognition model to obtain dish information included in the dish arrangement image, determine a washing cycle for the dishes based on the dish information, and control driving of the washing motor according to the determined washing cycle is provided. A dishwashing method is also provided.

The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher and a method of controlling the same. The dishwasher may determine an amount of foam in a wash space using a turbidity sensor measuring a turbidity value of wash water. Additionally, the dishwasher may perform a foam removal operation based on the amount of the foam in the wash space. In this case, the turbidity value measured by the turbidity sensor may be used. The foam removal operation may include a drainage operation, a water supply operation, and a wash operation that are consecutively performed, and may be performed in one or more of a pre-wash course, a main wash course, and a heating and rinsing course.

A dishwasher and method utilize an imaging system to perform various diagnostic operations within the dishwasher, including one or more of level sensing, filter cleaning, wash tub rinse down, foam detection, imaging system cleaning, and remote viewing. A controller may clean a filter by controllably-redirecting a controllably-movable sprayer to spray fluid onto the filter.

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 dishwashing appliance may include a cabinet, a tub, a spray assembly, a drain pump, and a controller. The tub may be positioned within the cabinet and define a wash chamber. The spray assembly may be positioned within the wash chamber. The drain pump may be in fluid communication with the wash chamber. The controller may be configured to initiate a washing operation. The washing operation may include activating the drain pump for an activation period, deactivating the drain pump for a deactivation period, detecting a first water condition upstream from the drain pump during the deactivation period, detecting, following detecting the first water condition, a second water condition upstream from the drain pump during the deactivation period, comparing the second water condition to the first water condition, and directing the drain pump based on the comparison of the second water condition to the first water condition.

Provided are a method performed by an appliance for washing and rinsing goods, where some of the goods loaded into the appliance are sensitive to process water temperature changes, and an appliance performing the method. The method may include receiving via a user interface, an instruction that an appliance, during execution of a general-type washing program, should take into account that goods sensitive to temperature changes are loaded into the appliance, measuring a temperature value in a washing compartment of the appliance upon executing a draining process, and supplying fresh water to the washing compartment of the appliance. The method may include measuring, when the fresh water has been supplied, whether the process water being accommodated in a sump of the appliance is at a target temperature value or not and if not adjusting the temperature of the process water in the sump to attain the target temperature value.

A device (1) is provided for capturing at least one process variable in a liquid-carrying work chamber (2) of a cleaning machine (3), in particular a washing machine (4) and/or dishwasher (15). The device includes a sensor unit (5) configured to capture the process variable and is designed for detachable arrangement in the work chamber (2).

The sensor housing of the present invention comprises a body and a gasket providing complete sealing within the body. The body comprises a lateral protrusion defining a first side, a second side generally parallel to the first side, and a third side connecting the first side and the second side. The gasket comprises a first leg portion, a second leg portion and a connecting portion. The first leg portion and the second leg portion extend in opposite directions. The connecting portion extends laterally to form a bridge between the first leg portion and the second leg portion. Further, the connecting portion and the second leg portion enclose the first side and the third side of the lateral protrusion, leaving the second side unenclosed by the gasket. The first leg portion comprises a first protrusion and a second protrusion extending outwardly and laterally in the same direction.

A turbidity sensor for a water-bearing domestic appliance includes a sensor housing having a housing main part and two housing projections protruding from the housing main part side by side and at a distance from one another, where the two housing projections delimit between them a measuring channel for a liquid to be measured. One of the housing projections emits a measuring light beam along a measuring path which runs transversely through the measuring channel to the other housing projection. The measuring path crosses the measuring channel in the channel longitudinal direction remote from a point of smallest channel width of the measuring channel or the measuring channel has a constriction at a longitudinal distance from its longitudinal midpoint, at which constriction the channel width is smaller than in a region of a longitudinal midpoint.

Dishwashing and dish drying apparatus are disclosed. The apparatus comprises three parallel rods which each have a screw thread on an outer surface. In use, the screw thread on each rod engages with a rim or lip of a dish and when the rods are rotated the dish is caused to move through the apparatus. This allows the whole of the dish to be exposed to a liquid in the dishwashing apparatus or to an air flow in a dish drying apparatus.
