DISHWASHER AND CONTROLLING METHOD OF DISHWASHER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18230970 titled 'DISHWASHER AND CONTROLLING METHOD OF DISHWASHER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a dishwasher with two blowers positioned on opposite sides of the tub, one to discharge air outside the tub to lower humidity and the other to circulate air inside the tub.
- The first blower discharges air outside the tub to lower humidity.
- The second blower circulates air inside the tub that is not discharged by the first blower.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in other appliances where controlling humidity is important, such as food storage containers or climate-controlled cabinets.
Problems Solved
This innovation solves the problem of high humidity levels inside dishwashers, which can lead to musty odors, mold growth, and inefficient drying of dishes.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved drying performance, reduced maintenance needs due to lower humidity levels, and potentially extending the lifespan of the dishwasher.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Improving Dishwasher Performance with Dual Blower System"
Possible Prior Art
There are similar patents for dishwashers with humidity control systems, but the specific configuration of two blowers positioned on opposite sides of the tub may be unique to this application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact energy consumption in the dishwasher?
The patent application does not provide information on how the dual blower system may affect the energy efficiency of the dishwasher.
Are there any potential maintenance issues associated with the dual blower system?
The patent application does not address any potential maintenance concerns that may arise from having two blowers in the dishwasher.
Original Abstract Submitted
A dishwasher including a tub including an opening; a door configured to open and close the opening; a first blower positioned at a first side of the tub; and a second blower positioned at a second side of the tub; wherein the first blower is configured to, while the door is positioned to open the opening, discharge a portion of air inside of the tub through the opening to outside of the tub so as to lower humidity inside of the tub, and the second blower is configured to, while the door is positioned to open the opening, circulate air inside of the tub that is not discharged by the first blower.
