REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17917692 titled 'REFRIGERATOR

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about a refrigerator that has a cool air passage for a freezing compartment and a cool air passage for an ice-making compartment. These passages partially share the cool air, increasing the amount of cool air supplied to the freezing compartment and ensuring sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment.

  • The refrigerator has separate cool air passages for the freezing compartment and the ice-making compartment.
  • These passages partially share the cool air, allowing for increased cool air supply to the freezing compartment.
  • By sharing cool air, sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment, freezing compartment, and ice-making compartment, even with a single evaporator.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various types of refrigerators, including household refrigerators and commercial refrigeration units.
  • It can be used in both small and large refrigerators, catering to different needs and requirements.

Problems Solved

  • Insufficient cool air supply to the freezing compartment and ice-making compartment in a refrigerator with a single evaporator.
  • Uneven distribution of cool air within the refrigerator, leading to inconsistent cooling performance.

Benefits

  • Increased amount of cool air supplied to the freezing compartment, ensuring better freezing performance.
  • Sufficient cool air supply to the refrigerating compartment, maintaining optimal cooling for food storage.
  • Improved ice-making performance with adequate cool air supply to the ice-making compartment.
  • Simplified design and construction of the refrigerator with a single evaporator.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator. Wherein a cool air passage for a freezing compartment, the cool air passage guiding the flow of cool air to the freezing compartment, and a cool air passage for an ice-making compartment, the cool air passage guiding the flow of cool air to the ice-making compartment, partially share the cool air thereof. Through the sharing of cool air, the amount of cool air supplied to the freezing compartment is increased and sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment. Accordingly, sufficient cool air is supplied to the refrigerating compartment, the freezing compartment, and the ice-making compartment even with a single evaporator.
