DISHWASHER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18525941 titled 'DISHWASHER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a dishwasher with a tub defining a treating chamber, a rotatable spray arm with an outlet, and a liquid supply conduit connected to the spray arm. A pump is used to flow liquid through the conduit and out through the spray arm.
- Tub with treating chamber
- Rotatable spray arm with outlet
- Liquid supply conduit connected to spray arm
- Pump for flowing liquid through conduit and spray arm
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in household dishwashers, industrial dishwashers, and other cleaning appliances that require efficient liquid distribution for cleaning purposes.
Problems Solved
1. Inefficient liquid distribution in dishwashers 2. Uneven cleaning results due to inadequate spray coverage
Benefits
1. Improved cleaning performance 2. Energy and water efficiency 3. Reduced maintenance needs due to optimized liquid distribution
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized Dishwasher Liquid Distribution Technology for Enhanced Cleaning Performance
Possible Prior Art
One potential prior art could be dishwashers with fixed spray arms that do not provide as efficient liquid distribution as the rotatable spray arm described in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact energy consumption in dishwashers?
The technology can potentially reduce energy consumption by ensuring more efficient cleaning with optimized liquid distribution, leading to shorter cleaning cycles and lower energy usage.
What materials are typically used in the construction of the liquid supply conduit in dishwashers?
Common materials used for liquid supply conduits in dishwashers include plastic, stainless steel, and rubber to ensure durability and compatibility with various cleaning agents.
Original Abstract Submitted
A dishwasher includes a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, a rotatable spray arm comprising an outlet, and a liquid supply conduit fluidly coupled to the spray arm. A pump can be fluidly coupled to the liquid supply conduit and operated to flow liquid through an aperture in the liquid supply conduit and through the outlet in the rotatable spray arm.
