REFRIGERATOR AND NOISE-REDUCING DEVICE MOUNTED THERETO - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276683 titled 'REFRIGERATOR AND NOISE-REDUCING DEVICE MOUNTED THERETO

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application describes a noise-reducing device mounted on a refrigerator, which includes a hollow resonance chamber and a tubular acoustic filter to reduce noise transmitted from the compressor.

  • The noise-reducing device comprises a hollow resonance chamber and a tubular acoustic filter.
  • It is mounted on the side surface of a machine compartment to reduce noise and charge out heat generated by the compressor through diffraction and resonance effects.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied to various household appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, and freezers to reduce noise levels and improve user experience.

Problems Solved

1. Noise pollution from household appliances can be reduced, creating a quieter environment. 2. Heat generated by the compressor can be efficiently dissipated, preventing overheating issues.

Benefits

1. Improved user experience with reduced noise levels. 2. Enhanced efficiency of heat dissipation in the machine compartment. 3. Overall quieter operation of the refrigerator.

Possible Prior Art

There are existing noise-reducing devices for household appliances, but the specific combination of a hollow resonance chamber and tubular acoustic filter as described in this patent application may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does the noise-reducing device affect the overall energy consumption of the refrigerator?

The patent application does not provide information on whether the noise-reducing device has any impact on the energy efficiency of the refrigerator.

Are there any specific maintenance requirements for the noise-reducing device?

The patent application does not mention any maintenance procedures or requirements for the noise-reducing device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A refrigerator and a noise-reducing device mounted thereto are disclosed. The disclosed noise-reducing device, which comprises a hollow resonance chamber and a tubular acoustic filter inserted into the resonance chamber, is mounted at the side surface of a machine compartment, whereby not only heat due to the operation of a compressor is charged out of the machine compartment, but also noise transmitted from the compressor to the outside of the machine compartment is reduced through diffraction and resonance effects.
