摘要： A dishwasher thermometer captures temperature data of temperature sensed within a dishwasher during a wash cycle. The dishwasher thermometer includes a wireless communication interface that transmits the captured temperature data to one or more of a server and a monitor device. When the captured temperature data indicates that the wash cycle did not achieve defined temperature threshold(s), an alert is generated at the server and/or the monitor device indicating that the wash cycle did not meet appropriate washing conditions. In embodiments, the temperature data may be accessible to a third party for certification of the dishwasher wash cycle.

摘要： A cleaning method and cleaning apparatus for a dishwasher, and a dishwasher. The cleaning method for a dishwasher includes acquiring a first image of tableware in a dishwasher, identifying the type of dirt on the tableware according to the first image, determining a corresponding washing mode according to the type of dirt, controlling the dishwasher to successively clean the tableware according to the washing mode, each time after the cleaning is completed, acquiring a second image of the tableware in the dishwasher, and comparing the first image with the second image, to determine the effectiveness of the washing mode. In this way, the problem in the prior art of it being impossible to accurately identify the type of dirt can be solved, and an appropriate washing mode is matched for the current type of dirt, to realize thorough cleaning, and less time is consumed, the efficiency is high, and less water energy and electric energy are used.

摘要： The invention proposes a dishwasher, comprising a cleaning chamber for accommodating washware. The dishwasher is designed to apply at least one washing liquid and at least one final-rinse liquid to the washware in the cleaning chamber. The dishwasher has a controller which is designed to carry out at least one cleaning program. The cleaning program comprises at least one washing step, in which the washing liquid is applied to the washware, and at least one final-rinse step, in which the final-rinse liquid is applied to the washware. The dishwasher has at least one operator control element which can be operated by a user. The controller is designed in such a way that the final-rinse step can be carried out at least once on the basis of operation of the operator control element after at least the washing step of the cleaning program has been carried out.

摘要： A warewash machine includes a housing defining a chamber for receiving wares, the chamber having at least one spray zone, a wash spray system for spraying wash liquid onto wares and a rinse spray system for spraying rinse liquid onto wares. At least one ultrasonic transducer is located for detecting wares feeding into the chamber and/or for detecting wares within the chamber. A controller is associated with the ultrasonic transducer and configured to identify one or more of ware location, ware movement, ware size, ware shape and/or ware material based upon outputs from the at least one ultrasonic transducer. The controller is further configured to control at least one operating parameter of the machine based at least in part upon identified ware location, identified ware movement, identified ware size, identified ware shape and/or identified ware material.
