Принадлежит: General Electric Co

A dishwasher spray arm assembly has a spray arm rotationally configured on a conduit. The spray arm includes a lower spray arm component mated with an upper spray arm component with an internal space defined between the upper and lower spray arm components. A bearing is interposed between the spray arm and conduit to conduct water from said conduit into the internal space, with the spray arm rotatably configured on the bearing. The bearing further includes a lower shaft section that mates with the conduit and an upper disc section sandwiched between the upper and lower spray arm components. A low-friction washer is disposed between the upper disc section and the lower spray arm component. The lower spray arm component and the disc section define a tortuous interference path for water to leak out from the internal space around the bearing.

A cutting board integrated with an associated washing device is provided. The washing device includes a kitchen appliance such as a dishwasher. The cutting board is configurable with the washing device in a variety of ways. The cutting board is incorporated into the washing device and extendable from the front of the washer for use in preparing food. After use, the board is retracted back into the washer for cleaning. 1. A cutting board and washer assembly comprising:a washer including an internal washing compartment; anda cutting board slidably coupled with the washer and configured to translate from a first position to a second position, wherein the first position places at least a portion of the cutting board outside the internal washing compartment and the second position places a majority of the cutting board inside the washing compartment;wherein placement of the cutting board in the second position seals the internal washing compartment closed.2. The cutting board and washer assembly of further comprising:a tray slidably coupled to the washer and adapted to releasably secure the cutting board in either the first position or the second position.3. The cutting board and washer assembly of wherein the tray includes a recess configured to hold the cutting board.4. The cutting board and washer assembly of wherein the recess includes a circumferential ledge and an open bottom.5. The cutting board and washer assembly of wherein the recess includes a mesh bottom.6. The cutting board and washer assembly of further comprising at least one water jet configured within the internal washing compartment and positioned to clean at least a portion of the cutting board when the cutting board is placed in the second position.7. The cutting board and washer assembly of wherein the cutting board includes an upper surface and a bottom surface claim 6 , and the at least one water jet is configured to directly clean the upper surface and the bottom surface.8. The cutting board and ...

A dishwasher includes a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, at least one dish rack in the treating chamber, and a rack height adjustment assembly. The rack height adjustment assembly includes an adjuster plate slidably coupled to the at least one dish rack and fixed vertically relative to the tub, the adjuster plate including at least one adjuster detent, a locking lever having a catch end that is biased to engage the adjuster detent to hold the dish rack in place in either a lowered or raised position, the locking lever being pivotally movable relative to the at least one dish rack between an engaging position where the catch end engages the adjuster detent and a release position where the catch end does not engage the adjuster detent and the dish rack is vertically movable between the lowered and raised positions, and an actuator configured to move the locking lever to the release position when the actuator is moved from an undepressed position to a depressed position. 1. A method of adjusting a dish rack supported for selective movement between lowered and raised positions within a dishwasher tub comprising:moving an actuator from an undepressed position to a depressed position wherein a locking lever pivots from an engaging position where the dish rack is held in place to a release position where the dish rack is vertically movable between lowered and raised positions; andbiasing the actuator by a biasing element to the undepressed position when the actuator is not depressed.2. The method of further comprising biasing the locking lever into the engaging position to maintain the raised and lowered positions when the actuator is not depressed.3. The method of further comprising biasing the locking lever into the engaging position with one of at least a first or a second detent provided on an adjuster plate which is fixed vertically relative to the tub claim 1 , the first and second detent corresponding to the raised and lowered positions of the ...

VERIFICATION OF CLEANING PROCESS EFFICACY

Номер: US20210161355A1
Автор: Christian Paul Dominic, Kraus Paul R., Rahn Rachel Marie, Smith Conor Sylvester
Принадлежит:

Experimental color data obtained from a plurality of cleaning process verification coupons is used to determine optimized cleaning process parameters in an automated cleaning machine. Color data may also be obtained from cleaning process verification coupon(s) to verify the efficacy of a real-world cleaning processes in an automated cleaning machine and/or to obtain one or more suggested corrective action(s) in the event the cleaning process yields an unsatisfactory cleaning result. Based on the optimized cleaning process parameters, an automated cleaning machine may automatically adjust one or more cleaning process parameters to correct for non-optimized parameters sensed during execution of a cleaning process to help prevent an unsatisfactory cleaning result. 1. A system that determines an efficacy of a cleaning process based on color data from a verification coupon that was exposed to the cleaning process , wherein the color data includes at least one of a red-green ratio , a blue-green ratio , a red-blue ratio , or a percent color value.2. A method for determining an efficacy of a cleaning process based on color data from a verification coupon that was exposed to the cleaning process , wherein the color data includes at least one of a red-green ratio , a blue-green ratio , a red-blue ratio , or a percent color value.3. A method of training a computer system to determine an efficacy of a cleaning process based on color data from a plurality of verification coupons that were exposed to a plurality of experimental cleaning processes , wherein the color data includes at least one of a red-green ratio , a blue-green ratio , a red-blue ratio , or a percent color value.4. An automated cleaning machine that receives sensed values for one or more cleaning process parameters during execution of a cleaning process , determines whether one or more of the sensed values do not satisfy their respective optimized cleaning process parameter values , and adjusts a cleaning ...
