DISHWASHER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18076708 titled 'DISHWASHER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a dishwasher with a built-in dryer that circulates air to dry the dishes. Here are the key points:
- The dishwasher has a tub with a washing room and a dryer installed on one side.
- The dryer consists of a first housing connected to the tub and a second housing on the other side, creating a flow path for air circulation.
- Inside the first and second housing, there is a heater that heats the air passing through the flow path.
- A switch module is positioned before the heater to detect the temperature inside the flow path and control the heater accordingly.
- The switch module is fixed between the first and second housing by their coupling.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Household dishwashers: This innovation can be applied to improve the drying capabilities of household dishwashers, providing more efficient and effective drying of dishes.
- Commercial dishwashers: The technology can also be implemented in commercial dishwashers used in restaurants, hotels, and other food service establishments.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inefficient drying: Traditional dishwashers often struggle to completely dry dishes, leaving them wet and requiring manual drying. This technology aims to solve this problem by providing a more effective drying method.
- Energy consumption: By detecting the temperature inside the flow path and controlling the heater accordingly, this technology can optimize energy consumption and reduce operating costs.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved drying performance: The circulation of heated air ensures better drying results, reducing the need for manual drying and improving the overall user experience.
- Energy efficiency: By controlling the heater based on the detected temperature, this technology helps to minimize energy consumption, leading to cost savings and environmental benefits.
- Simplified design: The integration of the dryer into the dishwasher eliminates the need for separate drying units, making the dishwasher more compact and convenient for users.
Original Abstract Submitted
A dishwasher includes: a tub including a washing room; and a dryer installed on one side of the tub, the dryer including: a first housing coupled with the tub and communicating with the washing room; a second housing coupled with an other side of the first housing, and forming a flow path together with the first housing so that inside air of the washing room circulates back to the washing room by passing through the flow path; a heater accommodated inside the first housing and the second housing to heat the air passing through the flow path; and a switch module positioned upstream of the heater, configured to detect an inside temperature of the flow path to turn on or off the heater based on the detected inside temperature, and fixed between the first housing and the second housing by coupling of the first housing with the second housing.
