  • Patent number: 11857132
    Abstract: A cleaning device according to the present disclosure includes a first infinite belt assembly and a second infinite belt assembly disposed along a first plane and a second plane, respectively, where each plane is parallel to a longitudinal plane of the cleaning device. The second infinite belt assembly is disposed proximal to the first infinite belt assembly such that a gap is defined therebetween to receive a kitchen tool. Each of the first infinite belt assembly and the second infinite belt assembly includes bristles extending from respective outer surfaces to contact the kitchen tool. A water supply manifold of the device supplies water onto at least one of the kitchen tool, the infinite belts assemblies, and the gap. A drive unit counter rotates the first infinite belt assembly with respect to the second infinite belt assembly.

  • Publication number: 20230250570
    Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a drum that rotationally operates within a tub. The drum defines a processing space for treating articles. A fluid delivery system selectively delivers wash fluid into the processing space. A hemispheric ultrasonic transducer is positioned proximate a base of the drum. The hemispheric ultrasonic transducer selectively directs waves of an ultrasonic frequency in a hemispheric radiating pattern through the processing space. The waves generate air bubbles within the wash fluid and the waves cause the air bubbles to implode and release micro air jets that are directed into the wash fluid for sanitizing the articles. The micro air jets act on the articles to loosen and remove foreign material therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20230073631
    Abstract: A dishwasher includes a housing having walls defining a tub with an outlet for humid air to flow out from the tub and an inlet for dry air to flow into the tub. The dishwasher also includes a drying system with a fluidized bed containing an adsorbent material, and an air circuit for supplying air to fluidize the adsorbent material via an air inlet, with at least a portion of the air inlet in contact with at least one wall of the tub such that heat is transferred from the tub to the air. During a regeneration cycle, the air circuit supplies heated ambient air to the fluidized bed to regenerate the adsorbent material. During an adsorption cycle, the air circuit receives hot humid air from the tub to be dried by the adsorbent material through the fluidized bed and returned as dry air to the tub.
