REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318900 titled 'REFRIGERATOR
The abstract describes a refrigerator with an inner case forming a storage compartment, outer case, and insulation material. The inner case is made up of injection-molded plates, including an upper plate and lateral plates.
- The refrigerator has an inner case with injection-molded plates and an outer case for structural support.
- The plates include an upper plate and lateral plates, each with a body and coupler.
- The upper plate coupler has an upward extension portion that creates a gap with the lateral plate body.
- The inner case features a groove between the upward extension portion and the lateral plate body.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in the manufacturing of refrigerators for residential and commercial use. - It can also be used in the production of other insulated storage units such as freezers or coolers.
Problems Solved: - Provides a sturdy and well-insulated structure for refrigeration units. - Enhances the efficiency of temperature control and preservation of food items.
Benefits: - Improved insulation leads to energy savings. - Durable construction ensures longevity of the refrigerator. - Enhanced temperature control for better food preservation.
Commercial Applications: Refrigerator manufacturing industry can utilize this technology to produce efficient and durable refrigeration units for both residential and commercial use.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the design of the injection-molded plates contribute to the overall efficiency of the refrigerator? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in refrigerator production?
Original Abstract Submitted
a refrigerator including: an inner case forming a storage compartment with an open front side and comprising a plurality of plates formed by injection molding; an outer case coupled to an outside of the inner case; and an insulation material between the inner case and the outer case. the plurality of plates includes an upper plate and a plurality of lateral plates coupled to the upper plate. the upper plate includes an upper plate body and an upper plate coupler. the each of the plurality of lateral plates includes a lateral plate body and a lateral plate coupler. the upper plate coupler includes an upward extension portion extending upward from the upper plate body and spaced from the lateral plate body. the inner case includes a groove recessed upward extending in a front and rear direction between the upward extension portion and the lateral plate body.
