Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a body provided with a storage chamber, a door configured to open or close the storage chamber, a display unit provided on the door, and a heat radiating unit disposed adjacent to the display unit and configured to radiate a heat generated in the display unit via a heat radiating flow path formed inside the door, wherein one end of the heat radiating flow path is communicated with the outside via a first hole formed in an upper end portion of the door, and the other end of the heat radiating flow path is communicated with the outside via a second hole formed in a lower end portion of the door.
Abstract:
A cooled storage system comprises a grid structure (20) of storage cells, where each cell is arranged to accommodate a vertical stack of storage bins and having a top level, at least one remotely operated vehicle (27) arranged to move at the top level of the grid structure (20) and receive a bin from a storage cell at the top level of the grid structure (20), where there is provided thermal insulation between at least a section of the grid structure (20) and the remotely operated vehicle (27), and said section of the grid structure (20) has a temperature that is lower than the temperature of the remotely operated vehicle (27).
Abstract:
There is disclosed a refrigerator; a lighting device provided in the storage chamber, a first door rotatably coupled to the case to open and close the storage chamber, an auxiliary storage chamber provided in the first door, a second door, a front panel formed of a transparent material, an evaporation treatment unit evaporated on an overall back surface of the front panel to transmit lights partially, a variable transparency film attached to a back surface of the evaporation treatment unit provided in the front panel to get transparent when the power is supplied, a frame unit with an opening having a corresponding size to an opening provided in the first door, an insulation panel distant from the front panel, a power supply unit for supplying an electric power to the variable transparency film and the lighting device, a proximity sensor provided in the second door to sense a user's approaching.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electric household appliance for cooling or freezing and heating, which includes: a common mounting (17), an insulated compartment (18), elements necessary for cooling and heating, both arranged on the common mounting (17), and elements in common for both operating modes, wherein the compartment (18) consists of a series of side and top panels (15) made of an insulating material and capable of withstanding microwaves, and is arranged on an insulating panel (16) arranged between the compartment (18) and the common mounting (17), a rotary plate—perforated or in the form of a screen—is provided inside the compartment (18), and the compartment (18) has an inner gate (12) actuated by an electromagnet which is only actuated when the cooling operating mode is selected, said electromagnet being deactivated when the heating operating mode is selected, in order to allow ventilation. The features of the electric household appliance also ensure, in addition to cooling or freezing and heating, energy efficiency and uniformity in the cooling process.
Abstract:
A machine for the production and dispensing of chilled food products comprises a tank containing an evaporator which forms part of a refrigerating circuit of the machine and a motorized mixer which rotates coaxially with the evaporator, with evaporator and mixer which project inside the tank through a rear sealed opening thereof, the tank being moreover provided at the front with a tap for dispensing the product through a dispensing outlet arranged above a dispensing zone intended to house a container for receiving the product. A shell of the opening type is arranged so as to enclose at least partially the tank and form a covering for at least partial thermal insulation of the tank from the external environment.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a refrigerator, comprising a main body having a food storage space therein, a casing disposed in the storage space, the casing having a space for producing ice, and an ice tray provided in the casing and configured to contain water for producing ice, wherein the casing comprises a first outer frame and a second outer frame that are configured to form an appearance of the casing, an inner frame provided between the first outer frame and the second outer frame, and an L-shaped thermal insulation frame configured to fill a space between the inner frame and the first outer frame.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a vacuum insulation panel having an improved structure which may improve durability by minimizing a folding process, and a refrigerator including the same.The vacuum insulation panel includes a core material, a first outer skin material that is arranged to form an outer surface of the core material, a second outer skin material that has a gap and forms the other outer surface of the core material, and is disposed to face the first outer skin material, and a third outer skin material that is provided to connect the first outer skin material and the second outer skin material and to be variable in accordance with the gap.
Abstract:
A three-dimensional (3D) vacuum insulation panel (VIP) and a folding approach to create the 3D VIP from a two-dimensional (2D) VIP of non-uniform thickness for a refrigerator, a refrigerator freezer or a non-appliance, are disclosed. The folding approach includes placing a VIP main panel and a plurality of VIP wall panels on an outer film, where one or more panels are of a greater thickness than other VIP panels; placing an inner film on top of the VIP main and wall panels and sealing the films together. The inner film is longer than the outer film and this allows the films and the VIP wall panels to be folded into a finished panel, wherein the longer inner film allows for fording without causing tears or micro-cracks in the film that would adversely affect the insulation properties of the three-dimensional (3D) VIP.
Abstract:
A refrigerator and a control method for the same are disclosed. The refrigerator includes a storage compartment formed in a cabinet of the refrigerator by a fixed insulation wall, the storage compartment being provided with an access opening, a door rotatably provided to the cabinet to open and close the access opening, a drawer provided in the storage compartment, a camera fixed to a ceiling of the storage compartment to photograph both a region (a first region) for storing of food arranged in an external space of the drawer in the storage compartment and a region (a second region) for storing of food arranged in an internal space of the drawer in the storage compartment, and a controller to separate, through a capturing time of a picture containing both the first region and the second region, a portion for the first region (a first region picture) and a portion for the second region (a second region picture) from the picture to individually divide and store the first region picture and the second region picture.
