DRAIN ASSEMBLY AND HOME APPLIANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18137794 titled 'DRAIN ASSEMBLY AND HOME APPLIANCE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a dishwasher with a tub and a drain port that can be coupled to a drain pump. The drain port has two coupling portions, with the second portion being longer than the first. The drain pump also has two coupling portions and an interfering rib to prevent improper coupling.

  • The dishwasher has a tub and a drain port with two coupling portions.
  • The drain pump can be coupled to and decoupled from the drain port.
  • The drain pump has two coupling portions and an interfering rib.
  • The interfering rib prevents improper coupling of the pump and drain port.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be used in household dishwashers to improve the efficiency of draining water.
  • It can also be applied in commercial dishwashers used in restaurants and other food service establishments.

Problems Solved:

  • The design prevents improper coupling of the drain pump and drain port, ensuring a secure connection.
  • It eliminates the risk of leaks or disconnections during the draining process.

Benefits:

  • The improved coupling design ensures a reliable and efficient drainage system in dishwashers.
  • It reduces the chances of water leakage and potential damage to the dishwasher or surrounding areas.
  • The technology provides ease of use and convenience for users, as the drain pump can be easily coupled and decoupled from the drain port.


Original Abstract Submitted

A dishwasher comprising a tub; a drain port including a port body, a first port coupling portion extending along an edge of an outer circumferential surface of the port body, and a second port coupling portion extending along an edge of an outer circumferential surface of the port body, the second port coupling portion having a length longer than a length of the first port coupling portion; and a drain pump, to be coupleable to and decouplable from the drain port. The drain pump includes: a first pump coupling portion to allow the drain pump to couple to and decouple from the first port coupling portion; a second pump coupling portion to allow the drain pump to couple to and decouple from the second port coupling portion; and an interfering rib to interfere with the second port coupling portion to thereby prevent the first pump coupling portion from being coupled to the second port coupling portion or prevent the second pump coupling portion from being coupled to the first port coupling portion.
