    Abstract: A refrigerator includes a cabinet with one or more food compartments and one or more doors closing the food compartments and an ice maker located in the cabinet to produce ice. The ice maker includes a mold body for forming ice, the mold body having multiple cups, where each cup has an opening for receiving water to be frozen within the cup. The mold body is divided into at least a first zone and a second zone and the ice maker including at least a first heater and a second heater configured to provide heat to the first and second zones of the mold body, respectively, and a controller configured to harvest ice from the first zone independently of the second zone by actuating the first heater to provide heat to the first zone of the mold body to facilitate a release of ice from the first zone.

    Abstract: A non-freezing meat fresh-preservation control method, a controller and a refrigerator are provided. The non-freezing meat fresh-preservation control method comprises: S1 (101), acquiring a current temperature of meat food in a compartment of a refrigerator in real time; S2 (102), judging whether the current temperature of the meat food is greater than or equal to a first temperature threshold t0, and if yes, performing S3 (103); S3 (103), controlling the compartment to perform a cooling operation; S4 (104), judging whether the meat food is frozen during the cooling operation, and if yes, performing S5 (105), S5 (105), controlling the compartment to perform a heating operation; and continuing the performance of the S1 (101) after the performance of the S5 (105) is completed. The non-freezing meat fresh-preservation control method provided by the present disclosure may prolong the fresh-preservation period as much as possible while ensuring that the meat food is not frozen.

    Abstract: An adjustable mounting assembly for an outdoor unit of an air conditioning unit is disclosed. In some embodiments, the outdoor unit on the adjustable mounting assembly may be capable of moving between among multiple height positions, for example, from a higher loading position to a lower installed position. For example, in some embodiments, the adjustable mounting assembly may include a counterbalancing mechanism to facilitate the position movement of the outdoor unit. In some other embodiments, the position movement of the outdoor unit may be achieved by folding and/or unfolding of a scissor lifting mechanism.
