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.
