  • a washing cycle generally comprises three main stages: (i) wetting; (ii) injection of detergent, (iii) rinsing, although in some examples one or more of these steps may be omitted.
  • a rinse wash may include just a rinsing cycle. Whichever steps are included or not included, the washing of the washing load may be generally termed a washing cycle.
  • the washing load dries in the washing compartment.
  • This may be active or assisted drying where an element, such as a heater or light source is provided for drying the washed load, or passive or natural drying where the washing load simply dries in the washing compartment over time.
  • drying is achieved, this may be termed a drying process. Active drying helps to remove water droplets from the washing load at the end of the washing cycle, which reduces staining of the washing load and may also improve hygiene of the washing load and dishwashing machine.
  • the washing load is subjected to drying by a drying device or drying arrangement, so as to dry remaining water droplets on the washing load.
  • the drying device may comprise a radiation source.
  • the radiation source may, for example, be an infra-red (IR) radiation source.
  • IR infra-red
  • the water droplets are converted into water vapour by the drying device.
  • a moisture absorption device in the dishwashing machine absorbs the water vapour.
  • the moisture absorption device comprises compressed cotton. This is described in more detail with respect to Figure 2 .
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows a portion of a washing compartment 204 of a dishwashing machine 200 according to an example.

  • the drying device 249 comprises a radiation source 250.
  • the radiation source may be a light radiation source.
  • the radiation source may be an IR or UV radiation source.
  • the radiation source is arranged to irradiate a washing load with light after a washing cycle has completed, so as to vaporize any remaining water droplets on the washing load.
  • the radiation source is attached to a light transmission conduit, pipe or tube 252.
  • the light transmission conduit 252 is transparent.
  • the light transmission conduit 252 may be made of a flexible material such as plastic.
  • the light transmission conduit 252 passes around a side 254 and a back side 256 of a rack 210 holding a washing load 222.
  • the light transmission conduit may be attached to an interior surface of the washing compartment 204 of the dishwashing machine.
  • the washing compartment 204 may comprise a base surface, a top surface or ceiling opposite the base surface, and at least one side surface between the base surface and the top surface.
  • the side surface may include an interior surface of the door of the dishwashing machine.
  • the light transmission conduit 252 may be arranged on one or more of these surfaces. Additionally or alternatively the light transmission conduit 252 may be attached to rack 204 (and indeed any further racks in the dishwashing machine).
  • a spare or slack length of the light transmission conduit may be provided, so that the rack 204 can be safely pulled in and out of the dishwashing machine for loading and unloading.
  • a take-up mechanism may be provided in such examples for taking up the slack length of the light transmission conduit.
  • the light transmission conduit 254 is arranged to surround or substantially surround a washing load.
  • the light transmission conduit 252 is arranged to direct and transmit light from the radiation source 250.
  • the light transmission conduit comprises flexible pipe or cable.
  • the light transmission conduit may comprise one or more bends along its length.
  • the light transmission conduit may extend in a serpentine manner in the dishwashing machine.
  • the light transmission conduit comprises fibre optic cable.
  • the washing rack 210 comprises compartments 276, 278, 280, 282, 284 and 286.
  • the light transmission conduit 254 may pass along or between these compartments.
  • the light transmission conduit 254 may pass between the compartments in a serpentine manner.
  • the light transmission conduit 250 enables a surface area of a washing load to be more fully irradiated than if, for example, a bulb placed in the washing compartment is used for irradiation purposes.
  • the light transmission conduit enables irradiation of sections of the washing compartment which may otherwise be shaded from light (e.g. by tall plates in the washing load).
  • a single irradiation source 250 and a single light transmission conduit 254 is shown, it will be understood that in other examples there may be more than one irradiation source and/or light transmission conduit. That is in some examples there may be considered to be a network of light transmission conduits.
  • the network of light transmission conduits may originate from a single irradiation source, or from multiple irradiation sources.
  • the moisture absorption device 262 comprises one or more moisture absorbing elements 266, one of which is labelled at 268. In this example eight moisture absorption elements 266 are provided, although in other examples more or fewer may be provided. Larger dishwashing machines may have relatively more of such moisture absorption elements, and smaller dishwashing machines may have relatively fewer of such moisture absorption elements.
  • the one or more moisture absorption elements 266 comprise cotton, for example cotton wool. The cotton may be compressed cotton (i.e. pre-compressed prior to insertion in to the machine and prior to further compression by the compression mechanism, in use).
  • the one or more moisture absorbing elements 266 can be compressed or squeezed, so as to squeeze or wring out water that has been absorbed by the one or more water absorbing elements 266.
  • a compression device 276 is provided.
  • the compression device 276 comprises a motor 260 which is arranged to cause a frame 271 holding the moisture absorbing elements 266 to be compressed, when the motor 260 is driven, as represented by arrows 272 and 274.
  • the frame 271 may be considered a piston.
  • the frame 271 comprises a plurality of plates or grids, each plate or grid being adjacent to a respective moisture absorbing element 266. In Figure 2 such a plate or grid is shown at 270.
  • a spring 264 is arranged to return the compression device back to its uncompressed state after the moisture has been squeezed out of the moisture absorbing elements 266.
  • the spring may be a compression spring, such as a helical spring. Additionally or alternatively the motor 260 may be driven in a reverse direction to decompress the compression device 276.
  • the compression device 276 is arranged to operate after a washed load has been removed from the dishwashing machine. This ensures that water squeezed out of the moisture absorbing elements 266 does not drip back on to the washed load which has been dried. In some examples operation of the compression device 276 is carried out automatically after a washing cycle has been completed and the washing load has been removed from the dishwashing machine 200.
  • the controller is capable of determining when the washing load has been removed. This may be based upon a determined weight of items in the dishwashing machine, which may be determined using weighing scales in communication with the controller 234. Additionally or alternatively an optical sensor or camera may be in communication with controller 234, and can provide information to the controller 234 indicative of when the dishwashing machine has been emptied. Additionally or alternatively a user of the dishwashing machine may be able to control operations of the compression device 276, for example via the user interface of the washing machine.
  • the moisture absorption device 262 described above can therefore be dried by having the water squeezed or wrung out of it. By drying the moisture absorption device 262 its hygiene levels and longevity can be improved compared to if the moisture absorption device was not dried. Water squeezed out of the moisture absorption device 262 can be collected at a base of the dishwasher.
  • a controller 234 is operable to control the operation of the drying device and the compression device 276, in addition to controlling other aspects of the dishwashing machine. For example the controller 234 may determine when to operate the drying device and when to operate (e.g. compress and decompress) the compression device 276.
  • a washing cycle is initiated. This may comprise a user selecting an appropriate washing cycle and initiating the washing cycle via the user interface of the dishwashing machine.
  • the drying cycle is initiated. This may be initiated automatically by the controller, for example in response to determining that the washing cycle has been completed. Alternatively the drying cycle is initiated by a user via the user interface of the dishwashing machine. The drying cycle may be carried out in the manner described above with respect to Figure 2 , for example by means of an IR irradiation source. In some examples a duration of the drying cycle is between 15 and 20 minutes.
  • This determination step may be carried out by a user, or automatically by the dishwashing machine as described above.
  • the compression cycle is initiated to remove moisture from the moisture absorbing elements of the dishwashing machine. Again, this may be carried out by a user via a user interface of the dishwashing machine, or it may be carried out automatically by the controller of the dishwashing machine, following S5.
  • the compression mechanism disclosed enables the moisture absorption elements to be dried without having to remove the moisture absorption device from the dishwashing machine. This is convenient for a user.
  • processor or processing system or circuitry referred to herein may in practice be provided by a single chip or integrated circuit or plural chips or integrated circuits, optionally provided as a chipset, an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), field-programmable gate array (FPGA), digital signal processor (DSP), graphics processing units (GPUs), etc.
  • the chip or chips may comprise circuitry (as well as possibly firmware) for embodying at least one or more of a data processor or processors, a digital signal processor or processors, baseband circuitry and radio frequency circuitry, which are configurable so as to operate in accordance with the exemplary embodiments.
  • the exemplary embodiments may be implemented at least in part by computer software stored in (non-transitory) memory and executable by the processor, or by hardware, or by a combination of tangibly stored software and hardware (and tangibly stored firmware).
  • the invention also extends to computer programs, particularly computer programs on or in a carrier, adapted for putting the invention into practice.
  • the program may be in the form of non-transitory source code, object code, a code intermediate source and object code such as in partially compiled form, or in any other non-transitory form suitable for use in the implementation of processes according to the invention.
  • the carrier may be any entity or device capable of carrying the program.
  • the carrier may comprise a storage medium, such as a solid-state drive (SSD) or other semiconductor-based RAM; a ROM, for example a CD ROM or a semiconductor ROM; a magnetic recording medium, for example a floppy disk or hard disk; optical memory devices in general; etc.
  • SSD solid-state drive
