System and method for varying ozone production based upon ozone demand
11359321 · 2022-06-14 ·

An ozone production method and system for producing ozone which comprises a plurality of washing machines, an ozone generator for generating ozone, and an ozone supply conduit for supplying ozone from the ozone generator to the washing machines. Each washing machine has a respective venturi, located between a water source and an inlet to the washing machine. The venturi is connected to the ozone supply conduit so that, as water flows through the respective venturi, such water flow creates a negative pressure within the ozone supply conduit. At least one sensor is located so as to detect the negative pressure created within the ozone supply conduit. The at least one sensor is connected to a control box, coupled to the ozone generator, which controls ozone production of the ozone generator depending upon the negative pressure generated within the ozone supply conduit.

METHOD OF USING IMAGE RECOGNITION PROCESSES FOR IMPROVED OPERATION OF A LAUNDRY APPLIANCE
20220178067 · 2022-06-09 ·

A washing machine appliance includes a wash basket that is rotatably mounted within a wash tub and that defines a wash chamber for receiving a load of clothes. A water supply adds water to the wash tub during a fill cycle and a camera assembly is used to monitor the water level. Specifically, the camera assembly obtains one or more images of the wash chamber during and/or after a fill cycle and a controller analyzes the images using a machine learning image recognition process to determine when the water within the wash tub has reached a predetermined water level, e.g., optimized based on load size or other load parameters. If the water in the wash tub is below or above the predetermined water level, the controller may implement responsive action, e.g., by adjusting at least one operating parameter of the washing machine appliance.
