WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER TO A DOOR OF A REFRIGERATOR APPLIANCE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240047995 titled 'WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER TO A DOOR OF A REFRIGERATOR APPLIANCE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a refrigerator appliance with a chamber and a hinged door that can seal the chamber or provide access to it. The cabinet of the refrigerator includes a resonant LC circuit transmitter, while the door includes a resonant LC receiver. This configuration allows for the transfer of electric power from the cabinet to the door.
- The refrigerator appliance has a chamber and a hinged door.
- The cabinet of the refrigerator has a resonant LC circuit transmitter.
- The door of the refrigerator has a resonant LC receiver.
- Electric power can be transferred from the cabinet to the door.
Potential Applications:
- This technology can be used in household refrigerators to provide wireless power transfer to the door, eliminating the need for electrical connections.
- It can also be applied in commercial refrigerators or display cases to power lighting or other electronic components on the door.
Problems Solved:
- This technology eliminates the need for electrical wires or cables to power the door of a refrigerator, simplifying the design and installation process.
- It reduces the risk of electrical hazards associated with exposed wires or connectors.
Benefits:
- The wireless power transfer system provides convenience and flexibility in the use of the refrigerator door.
- It allows for a more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing design without visible wires or connectors.
- The elimination of physical connections reduces the risk of wear and tear, improving the overall durability and lifespan of the refrigerator appliance.
