The present disclosure discloses a sequential dishwasher, and relates to the technical field of sequential dishwashers and automatic cleaning methods. The sequential dishwasher includes a casing to the bottom of which a drainage pipe is connected, a dish cleaning mechanism, arranged in the casing; a rotary drive mechanism, arranged below the dish cleaning mechanism; a liquid supply mechanism, arranged in the casing and used for providing a detergent or tap water for cleaning of two sides of a dish in a spraying manner; and a control system, configured to control and connect the dish cleaning mechanism, the rotary drive mechanism, and the liquid supply mechanism for a clamping drive, a rotary drive, and a liquid supply cleaning drive during dish cleaning. The present disclosure further provides an automatic cleaning method for dishes. The present disclosure may effectively save detergent consumption and water consumption of cleaning while realizing rapid cleaning of the single dish, and when facing cleaning of a small number of dishes, may complete the automatic cleaning of the dishes more efficiently with more energy saved.

The present invention relates to a device. The device is for cleaning a receptacle that is at least partly open-ended at one end and having an interior space defined by an interior wall. The device is capable of cleaning at least a part of the interior wall of the receptacle. The device has a receiving component for receiving and holding the receptacle to allow for the cleaning of at least the part of the interior wall of the receptacle. The device also has a cleaning component that is capable of cleaning at least part of the interior wall of the receptacle interior wherein the cleaning component comprises a cleaning element that is locatable within the interior space of the receptacle when the receptacle is held by the receiving component.

The present invention is directed to a drum dishwasher, the washing method is completely different from the existing dishwasher, washing-up is through push the tableware that is distributed freely and is immersed in water to produce relative motion with the water, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning. Its characteristic structure comprising: drum (101) for placing and driving tableware, wrapped around the drum (101) for water filled bucket (111), support and drive system, control system, and so on.

A method and device for controlling a domestic appliance connected to an electric grid so as to allow smart metering, wherein electric power consumed according to different consumption tariffs is measured and the domestic appliance receives information about the availability of a currently applicable consumption tariff or a switch-off condition for preventing peak loads in the grid. The domestic appliance is operated as follows: a) when an inexpensive consumption tariff is available, the appliance is put into operation as intended, and the history of the cleaning process is continuously recorded; b) when an inexpensive consumption tariff is not available or the switch-off condition is met, the appliance is not put into operation or a previously started operation is interrupted; and c) when information about an inexpensive consumption tariff is available, the domestic appliance resumes operation, and a component of a detergent is added based on the recorded history.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for guiding a user through an interaction with a dishwasher user interface are provided. For example, in one embodiment a method for operating a dishwasher, wherein the dishwasher comprises a tub for receiving dishware, a door configured to enclose the tub, and a user interface comprising one or more control elements, is provided. The method comprises receiving, by the user interface, user selection of at least one of the control elements. In response to receiving the user selection of at least one of the one or more control elements, a controller initiates one or more close door indicators and a countdown timer. The method further comprises determining if the door is closed before a time period of the countdown timer expired. In response to determining that the door was closed before the time period of the countdown timer expired, a wash cycle is started or resumed.

A dishwasher including a washing chamber to wash dishes, a sump concavely formed at a lower portion of the washing chamber to collect water used in washing, a microfilter disposed at the sump to filter out dirt produced when the dishes are washed, and an ultrasonic generator to radiate ultrasonic waves toward the microfilter. Since the microfilter is automatically cleaned by the ultrasonic generator, a user may not need to manually clean the microfilter.

A method may include detecting one or more insertion actions for a loading one or more articles into the dishwashing appliance and directing, subsequent to the detected insertion actions, a dishwasher cycle within the dishwashing appliance. The method may also include detecting, subsequent to the dishwasher cycle, one or more removal actions for unloading the one or more articles from the dishwashing appliance. The method may further include evaluating the detected removal actions against the detected insertion actions and directing a user interface of the dishwashing appliance based on the evaluation.

A household appliance, in particular a water-conducting household appliance, which can be connected to a power supply network of an energy supplier, includes a communication and/or control facility. A bidirectional signal connection connects the communication and/or control facility to the energy supplier for exchange and/or request information, in particular network electricity information relating to electricity tariffs of the energy supplier.

A control method for a door lock device, the control method including: determining whether there is an obstacle in a gap with which a door of an electrical apparatus is opened in the process of the door moving toward a closed position; controlling a motor to rotate in a second direction of rotation for a predetermined period of time if there is an obstacle in the gap, and repeating the step until the obstacle is removed from the gap; and controlling the motor to rotate in a first direction of rotation if there is no obstacle in the gap, so as to allow the door to move to the closed position. The control method can prevent an obstacle (for example, a hand of a user accidentally reaching into the gap) from being clamped during an automatic door closing process for a dishwasher.

A dish washing machine communication system including a dish washing machine having a dish washing machine SMS messaging system and a remote communicator with a remote communicator SMS messaging system, with the remote communicator being physically separate from the dish washing machine. The remote communicator SMS messaging system of the remote communicator sends instructions and/or requests for information to the dish washing machine SMS messaging system of the dish washing machine in text format. The dish washing machine SMS messaging system of the dish washing machine also sends information to the remote communicator SMS messaging system of the remote communicator in text format.
