  • An alarm state may, for example, indicate an end of a wash.
  • An alarm state may indicate a malfunction.
  • an alarm state may indicate improper rotation of a spray arm.
  • a door of the dishwashing machine 100 is schematically shown at 140.
  • the door 140 is connected to main body 120 via hinges 142 and 144.
  • the door is in an open position enabling access to washing compartment 104.
  • the door 140 may be moved to a closed position so that the washing compartment 104 is then substantially enclosed.
  • the door 140 may also include a receptacle for holding dishwashing detergent (e.g. a detergent cube) which can be released in to the dishwashing machine during a wash.
  • the receptacle for holding washing detergent may of course also be positioned elsewhere within the dishwashing machine.
  • the dishwashing machine may also include one or more further receptacles for containing dishwashing machine salt and/or rinse aid, for example.
  • a washing cycle generally comprises three main stages: (i) wetting; (ii) injection of detergent, (iii) rinsing. 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.
  • FIG. 2 is a side view schematically showing a spray arm 224.
  • the spray arm 224 comprises one or more spray holes or openings 260 for spraying water 262.
  • four spray holes 260 are provided, but in other examples more or fewer may be provided.
  • the spray arm 224 is mounted on rotatable shaft 225. Water may be delivered to the spray arm 224, and spray hole(s) 260 via shaft 225.
  • the shaft 225 may also be considered a spout.
  • rotation of rotatable shaft 225 causes rotation of spray arm 224, and vice versa.
  • spray arm 224 and shaft 225 are rotatably fixed to each other.
  • the shaft 225 and spray arm 224 may be considered part of a spray arm assembly 221.
  • the shaft 225 is located within a housing or sleeve 231.
  • the shaft 225 and housing 231 may be considered part of a shaft assembly 219.
  • the housing 231 is fixed. That is the shaft 225 may rotate within housing 231 while housing 231 remains stationary. Housing 231 may also be considered part of spray arm assembly 221.
  • the shaft 225 comprises an aperture or opening 237
  • the housing 231 comprises an aperture or opening 239.
  • the aperture 237 and opening 239 may comprise, for example, round holes.
  • the aperture 237 and opening 239 may be, for example, 5mm or about 5mm in diameter.
  • the aperture 237 and opening 239 are constructed and arranged so as to align once per rotation of the shaft 225.
  • Water pump 250 supplies water, shown schematically at 253, to shaft assembly 219.
  • the water pump 250 may be the same water pump that supplies water to spray holes 260 of spray arm 224.
  • Water 253 from water pump 250 may enter an interior of shaft 225. Once in the interior of the shaft 225, the pumped water may build up water pressure.
  • the aperture 237 of shaft 225 and opening 239 of housing 231 align, the water can be ejected or squirted out of the aligned aperture 237 and opening 239.
  • the aperture 237 and opening 239 are not aligned, then water cannot be or is prevented from being ejected or squirted out of the aperture 237.
  • the aperture 237 and opening 239 When the aperture 237 and opening 239 are aligned, it may be considered that the aperture 237 is in an open state. When the aperture 237 and opening 239 are not aligned, it may be considered that the aperture 237 is in a closed state. When the aperture 237 is in the open state then the power draw or power consumption of pump 250 temporarily increases, compared to when the aperture 237 is in the closed state. This can be explained by Pascal's law, whereby when the radius of a pipe increases, the force or power required to force liquid through that pipe increases (in this case the aligning aperture 237 and opening 239 may be considered analogous to a pipe).
  • Controller 234 is in communication with, and may monitor, pump 250.
  • the controller 234 comprises a memory 233 and a processor 235.
  • the controller 234 may monitor the power consumption of the pump 250 so as to monitor when the aperture 237 is in the open state i.e. when there are temporary power increases or "spikes".
  • power consumption information of the pump 250 i.e. by monitoring the power spikes
  • rotational information of spray arm 224 can be obtained.
  • the rotational information may comprise, for example, a rate of rotation of the spray arm 224.
  • Figure 3A is a plan view showing a spray arm 324 comprising one or more spray holes 360 (in this example four spray holes).
  • Shaft 325 which rotates with spray arm 324 is located within housing 331.
  • the rotational position of housing 331 is fixed.
  • Shaft 325 comprises aperture 337, and housing 331 comprises opening 339.
  • the rotational position of shaft 325 is such that aperture 337 is aligned with opening 339. That is aperture 337 is considered to be in an open state.
  • water 353 which has been pumped to shaft 325 is ejected through aperture 337 and opening 339, as shown schematically by the dashed line. That is water 353 is ejected from shaft assembly 319.
  • FIG. 331 is schematic in nature and not necessarily to scale.
  • a gap between the shaft 325 and housing 331 is smaller, and in some cases considerably smaller, than that shown in the Figures.
  • the housing or sleeve 331 is a close fit to the shaft 325, such that when the aperture 337 and opening 339 are not aligned then no water is ejected out of aperture 337.
  • Figure 4 is a schematic plot of power consumption of a pump (e.g. pump, 150, 250, 350) over time.
  • the peaks 470, 472, 474, 476 in power consumption represent the times where a spray arm is in a position such that the aperture (e.g. aperture 237, 337) is in the open state, and water is ejected from the aperture (and shaft assembly).
  • the troughs (or steady states) 480, 482, 484 represent a position of the spray arm where the aperture is in a closed position, and water is not ejected from the aperture (or shaft assembly). Therefore in examples the controller 234 can monitor a rate of rotation of a spray arm by measuring an interval between increases or spikes in power consumption of the pump.
  • the slanted portions of the plot represent positions where an aperture (e.g. aperture 237, 337) of an associated spray arm is between fully open and fully closed states, such that some water can be ejected out of the aperture and the shaft assembly, but less than when the aperture is in a fully open state (e.g. where aperture 337 and opening 339 are fully aligned).
  • the power consumption information of the water pump 250 obtained by the controller 234 may be used by the controller 234 in order to determine information of rotation of the spray arm 224. For example by counting or monitoring a rate of the power consumption increases or spikes then a rate of rotation of the spray arm 224 can be determined. For example each power consumption increase or spike may equate to one revolution of the spray arm 224.
  • the rate of rotation could be, for example, in revolutions per minute (RPM).
  • the controller compares the determined or actual rate of rotation of the spray arm 224 with an expected or target rate of rotation.
  • the expected rate of rotation may be a predetermined rate of rotation.
  • Information of expected rate of rotation may be stored in memory 233, for example in a look-up table.
  • the controller 234 may determine that there is a fault or a malfunction associated with the spray arm 224.
  • the fault may be, for example, that an item in the dishwasher is blocking or impeding movement of the spray arm 224.
  • an alarm may be output to a user.
  • the alarm may be a visual alarm, such as a flashing light, provided for example via display 138. Additionally or alternatively the alarm may be an audible alarm such as a buzzer which is provided via a speaker.
  • the alarm may alert or prompt the user to fix the fault e.g. to move the item that is blocking the spray arm 224.
  • determining whether the actual rate of rotation of the spray arm differs from the expected rate of rotation comprises determining whether the actual rate of rotation of the spray arm differs from the expected rate of rotation by more than a threshold amount.
  • the threshold amount may be 10% of the expected rate.
  • an expected rate of rotation of a spray arm may be 50 revolutions per minute. Therefore if the rate of rotation falls below 45 revolutions per minute then this will be deemed a fault and an appropriate alarm will be output.
  • the spray arm 224 may be completely blocked, such that its rate of rotation falls to zero RPM. This will also be identified as a fault since it is below the expected rate of rotation, and outside the threshold tolerance.
  • the controller 234 is configured to halt the washing cycle.
  • Halting the washing cycle may include halting power and/or water to the spray arm(s).
  • the washing cycle is only resumed after the door of the washing machine has been opened and closed (i.e. indicative that a user has cleared the obstruction), and/or after a certain user input on the user interface 136 (e.g. pressing an "OK" button), and/or after one or more test rotations of the spray arm(s).
  • the washing cycle may be automatically restarted after it has been determined that an alert state (e.g.) blockage of spray arm, has been cleared.
  • Figure 5 is a flow chart of a method according to an example described with respect to the features of Figures 1 and 2 .
  • the process is started, by a user initiating a washing cycle, for example by pressing a button on user interface 136.
  • the controller 234 monitors power consumption of pump 250.
  • the monitoring of the power consumption comprises monitoring for intervals between increases or spikes in power consumption of the pump.
  • rotational information of the spray arm 224 is determined by the controller 234, using information of the monitored power consumption.
  • the determined rotational information comprises a rate of rotation of the spray arm 224.
  • the determined rate of rotation of the spray arm 224 is compared with an expected value of rate of rotation of spray arm 224.
  • the controller 234 causes an alert to be output to a user, as shown at S5.
  • the alert may be a visual and/or audible alarm, for example.
