REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240337437 titled 'REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
The abstract describes a patent application for a refrigerator with a control panel, storage compartment, case, heater, fan, and processor to maintain a fermentation temperature for a fermentation time.
- The refrigerator includes a control panel for user input and a storage compartment with a case inside.
- A heater is arranged in the case to maintain a fermentation temperature.
- A fan introduces air from outside the case into the case.
- The processor controls the heater to maintain different temperatures for different time periods based on user input for normal or rapid fermentation.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in home brewing or fermentation processes. - It can also be utilized in food preservation where specific temperatures are required.
Problems Solved: - Ensures precise temperature control for fermentation processes. - Provides options for both normal and rapid fermentation based on user preferences.
Benefits: - Allows users to easily control fermentation temperatures. - Improves the quality and consistency of fermentation processes.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be marketed to home brewers, food producers, and fermentation enthusiasts. - It can be integrated into refrigeration systems for commercial food and beverage industries.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the processor differentiate between normal and rapid fermentation? - The processor receives user input from the control panel to adjust the temperature accordingly.
2. What safety features are in place to prevent overheating during fermentation? - The processor is programmed to ensure the heater does not exceed safe temperature levels.
Original Abstract Submitted
a refrigerator including a main body; a control panel arranged on one surface of the main body; a storage compartment arranged in the main body; a case arranged in the storage compartment; a heater arranged in the case; a fan configured to introduce air from outside the case into the case; and a processor configured to control the heater to maintain a temperature in the case at a fermentation temperature for a fermentation time. the processor may control the heater to maintain a temperature in the case at a first temperature for a first time period based on receiving a user input for a normal fermentation from the control panel, and control the heater to maintain the temperature in the case at a second temperature higher than the first temperature for a second time period shorter than the first time period, based on receiving a user input for a rapid fermentation from the control panel.
