A system for processing foodstuffs includes a container platform, a blade platform, and a locking mechanism. The container platform defines a container receptacle configured to receive a container including foodstuffs. The blade platform includes blades configured to rotate to process the foodstuffs. The locking mechanism is configured to couple the container platform to the blade platform to form a blending chamber including the blades and the container subsequent to determining that the container is received by the container receptacle and prior to rotation of the blades.

A dishwasher including a washing tub having a bottom plate having an opening, a nozzle having a spraying hole configured to spray water, the nozzle passing through the opening, and a sealing member configured to seal the opening. The bottom plate includes a base portion on which the nozzle is installed, and a protruding portion extending downward from the base portion to form the opening, the nozzle includes a support portion on the base portion, and a nozzle side portion facing the protruding portion. A part of the support portion contacts the base portion and another part of the support portion is spaced apart from the base portion according to an inclination of the base portion, where the sealing member is disposed between the protruding portion and the nozzle side portion. The spraying trajectory of the water can thus be kept constant despite the inclination deviation of the base portion.

The locking mechanism is configured to couple the container platform to the blade platform to form a blending chamber including the blades and the container subsequent to determining that the container is received by the container receptacle and prior to rotation of the blades.

A system for processing foodstuffs includes a chamber including foodstuffs, a blade assembly, and a processor. The blade assembly includes blades configured to rotate within the chamber based on initiation of a blend cycle. The processor is configured to determine a trigger event to initiate a cleaning cycle of the blade assembly to remove foodstuffs remaining in the chamber, and execute the cleaning cycle, responsive to detecting the trigger event, by causing fluid to be injected into the chamber, causing the blades of the blade assembly to rotate for a predetermined amount of time, and cause removal of at least a portion of the fluid and the remaining foodstuffs from the chamber.

A system includes a container platform configured to receive a container, a blade assembly and a blade actuator for rotating blades of the blade assembly, a blade platform, and a platform actuator for moving the blade platform between a blade engagement position and a container engagement position. A processor is configured to cause the platform actuator to move the blade platform, prior to a first actuation of the blade actuator, from the container engagement position to the blade engagement position, to cause the first actuation, to cause the platform actuator to move the blade platform towards the container engagement position, to cause the blade platform to return to the blade engagement position, to cause a second actuation of the blade actuator, and to cause the platform actuator to return the blade platform to the container engagement position subsequent to the second actuation.

A container includes a body including a lip portion, a base portion, and a wall structure extending between the lip portion and the base portion. The wall structure and the base portion define a cavity. The lip portion extends outwards from the wall structure. The body is configured to be received in a container receptacle defined within a container platform of a blending apparatus when the container platform is in a first position. The lip portion includes one or more engagement features to sealingly engage with a corresponding engagement feature of a blade assembly of the blending apparatus, restrict rotation of the container during rotation of blades of the blade assembly, and restrict translational motion of the lip portion relative to the surface of the container receptacle during rotation of the container platform from the first position to a second position or during rotation of the blades.

Disclosed is a dishwasher including: a washing tub in which a rack on which a washing object is seated is disposed; a spray tube which has a rotation shaft extending in a direction intersecting upper and lower shafts, and has a spray nozzle disposed therein to eject flowing washing water in a direction intersecting the rotation shaft; a power applying device that generates power; and a driving module connected to the spray tube so that the power generated by the power applying device is transmitted to the spray tube, wherein the driving module includes: a rotation body which is connected to the power applying device; a pendulum body extending from the spray tube in a direction intersecting the rotation shaft; and a conversion link connected to the rotation body and the pendulum body to convert rotational motion of the rotation body into pendulum motion of the pendulum body.
