  • a plurality of through-holes is formed in each spray arm 66, 68 and arranged to spray water onto the items to be washed 56.
  • each spray arm 66, 68 is horizontally movable across the width of the washing chamber 50 by means of a motor drive 70.
  • the motor drive 70 is, in embodiments, controlled by a controller 80 ( Figure 2 ).
  • the controller 80 is operable to control all operational elements of the dishwasher 10, for example: programs; spray arm movement; cycle operation; water temperature and heaters; drainage and pump operation; and turbidity determination.

  • the spray arm 68 is arranged at the upper end of the washing chamber 50 and is operable to spray water and/or washing liquid onto items 56 in the rack 54.
  • Each spray arm 66, 68 is, therefore, held in a fixed orientation with respect to the washing chamber 50 and is moved back and forth across the width of the washing chamber 50 to clean the items to be cleaned.
  • spray arms 66, 68 Whilst two spray arms 66, 68 are shown in this embodiment, this need not be so. A single spray arm may be provided, or multiple spray arms may be provided as required. The skilled person would be readily aware of variations that fall within the scope of the present invention and what configurations are desired.
  • each spray arm need not extend from the front wall of the washing chamber 50 to the rear wall of the washing chamber 50, and may be shorter than this.
  • each spray arm may need to translate in two dimensions across the width and depth of the washing chamber 50. This may be used in conjunction with a rotatable spray arm to define a movable washing region below the respective spray arm.
  • the spray arms need not be movable and a plurality of spray arms may extend across the width of the washing chamber 50, where each of the plurality of spray arms can be independently activated to target a specific area of the washing chamber 50.

  • the use of the defined zones Z1-Z5 enables specific regions of the washing chamber 50 to be measured and targeted as appropriate. For example, a particular zone Z1-Z5 can be targeted individually to determine the level of soiling of the items to be washed 56 in that zone. If a particular zone, for example, zone Z1, contains items with heavy soiling, then additional washing time, intensity or detergent (for example) can be applied to items in that zone.
  • the spray arm 66, 68 can be located at a particular zone Z1-Z5 and caused to spray washing liquid on items within that specific zone.
  • the spray arm 66, 68 can be directed in a number of ways.
  • the spray arm 66, 68 could move or oscillate back and forth within the selected zone whilst spraying washing liquid on the items to be cleaned 56. During this operation, the spray arm 66, 68 would spray water or washing liquid through the items to be washed 56 located within the exemplary 10 cm region of a particular zone. Alternatively, the spray arm 66, 68 may move slowly across the 10cm partial region during the cycle in that zone.
  • the present invention enables detection and profiling of the soiling of items to be washed 56 across the washing chamber 50. This enables selection of an appropriate washing cycle to ensure that that items to be cleaned 56 are cleaned appropriately whilst minimising water usage.
  • items having particularly heavy soiling e.g. ovenware, pots and pans
  • other items for examples, dishes or cutlery
  • the profiling of the different zones is achieved by performing test cycle washes in individual zones Z1-Z5 and measuring the turbidity of the water exiting from the drain outlet 62 using the turbidity sensor 64.
  • the turbidity sensor 64 comprises a camera system operable to determine the turbidity (i.e. cloudiness/opacity) of the water leaving the drain outlet 62. The turbidity measured for each zone Z1-Z5 can then be compared and the zones containing items to be washed having the heaviest soiling can be identified. This information can be then used by the processor 80 to select an appropriate washing program or a custom selection to enable targeting of the most soiled items.
  • Figure 4 shows a flow chart of a method of operation of an automatic dishwasher 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Step 100 Define n partial test zones
  • Step 100 is optional and can be used to defined particular zones Z1-Z5 within the interior of the washing chamber 50.
  • the zones Z1-Z5 may be defined by a user or may be automatically specified.
  • the zones are defined in accordance with the zones Z1-Z5 discussed in relation to Figure 3 .

  • the period of time may be of the order of 5 to 20 seconds. However, this is taken to be non-limiting and other time periods may be used. It is useful that the time period are substantially the same for each zone. Alternatively, the time periods may differ but the volume of washing liquid dispensed in each partial cycle may vary.
  • the spray arm 66, 68 may be configured to move back and forth across the predefined zone.
  • the spray arm 66, 68 may move slowly from one side of the zone to the other at a speed arranged to cover the width of the zone within the defined washing period.
  • the turbidity sensor 64 is operable to measure the turbidity of the waste water during the cycle in question. This enables quantification of the level of soiling of the items 56 within the zone Z1 under test.
  • the value of the turbidity as measured by the turbidity sensor 64 may be a relative value (since it is only necessary to know which zone has the most heavily soiled items 56) rather than an absolute measurement. However, absolute measurements may be used if required.
  • the average turbidity sampled during the time period in which washing liquid is sprayed onto the items 56 could be used.
  • the turbidity value (or average value) obtained in process 2) can then be stored; for example, in a memory unit or processor (not shown) of the dishwasher 10.
