REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318896 titled 'REFRIGERATOR
The abstract describes a patent application for a refrigerator with innovative features to improve functionality and efficiency.
- The refrigerator includes an outer case, an inner case forming a storage compartment with a guide receiving space and a guide mounting groove.
- There is insulation between the outer and inner cases to maintain temperature control.
- Two doors, a first and a second door, cover different portions of the storage compartment, with a bar that rotates to cover the gap between them.
- A rotation guide on the upper portion of the storage compartment guides the bar to rotate in response to opening or closing of the doors.
- The rotation guide includes a guide body partially accommodated in the guide receiving space and a protrusion inserted into the guide mounting groove to prevent movement.
Potential Applications: - Household refrigerators for residential use - Commercial refrigerators in restaurants, hotels, and other food service establishments - Industrial refrigerators for storage and preservation of perishable goods
Problems Solved: - Efficient use of space in the storage compartment - Improved temperature control and insulation - Enhanced convenience with the rotating bar mechanism
Benefits: - Optimal organization and storage of items in the refrigerator - Energy efficiency due to improved insulation - Easy access to different sections of the storage compartment
Commercial Applications: Refrigerator manufacturers can incorporate this innovative design to enhance their product offerings, catering to both residential and commercial markets. The improved functionality and space utilization can attract customers looking for advanced refrigeration solutions.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the rotation guide mechanism improve the efficiency of the refrigerator? 2. What are the potential cost implications of integrating this technology into refrigerator manufacturing processes?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may explore further advancements in insulation materials to enhance energy efficiency in refrigerators. Additionally, studies on user preferences and behaviors related to refrigerator design can provide insights for future innovations in this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
a refrigerator includes an outer case, an inner case forming a storage compartment and including a guide receiving space, and a guide mounting groove, an insulation between the outer and inner cases, a first door rotatably coupled to the outer case to cover a portion of the storage compartment, a second door rotatably coupled to the outer case to cover another portion of the storage compartment, a bar rotatable with one of the first and second doors and cover a gap between the first and second doors, and a rotation guide disposed on an upper portion of the storage compartment to guide the bar to allow rotation of the bar in response to opening or closing of the first or second door and including a guide body partially accommodated in the guide receiving space and a protrusion inserted into the guide mounting groove to prevent movement of the rotation guide.
