REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17732679 titled 'REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a refrigerator and its control method. The refrigerator has a housing and a door that is rotatably coupled to the housing using a hinge shaft and a hinge gear. The door opening and closing device, located at one end of the door, controls the door's opening and closing. It consists of a drive motor, a final gear, and a door position sensor.

  • The refrigerator has a door opening and closing device that controls the door's movement.
  • The door opening and closing device includes a drive motor, a final gear, and a door position sensor.
  • The final gear receives power from the drive motor and transmits it to the hinge shaft.
  • The final gear is arranged to interlock with the hinge gear fixed to the hinge shaft.
  • The door position sensor detects the rotation angle of the final gear.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Household refrigerators and freezers.
  • Commercial refrigerators and freezers.
  • Industrial refrigeration systems.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a controlled and efficient method for opening and closing refrigerator doors.
  • Ensures proper sealing of the refrigerator to maintain temperature and prevent energy loss.
  • Allows for easy access to the refrigerator contents.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved convenience and ease of use for the refrigerator users.
  • Energy-efficient operation due to proper sealing of the door.
  • Enhanced durability and longevity of the refrigerator components.
