ICE MAKER, REFRIGERATOR, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240344750 titled 'ICE MAKER, REFRIGERATOR, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE REFRIGERATOR
The abstract describes a refrigerator with an ice maker that includes an ice tray with multiple ice-making cells arranged in columns of varying heights.
- The refrigerator has a storage compartment and a door for access.
- The ice maker cools the storage compartment to make ice.
- The ice tray has multiple ice-making cells in columns with different heights.
- Each column contains two or more ice-making cells.
- The design allows for efficient ice production and storage.
Potential Applications: - Household refrigerators - Commercial refrigeration units - Ice production facilities
Problems Solved: - Efficient ice production - Optimal use of space in the ice tray
Benefits: - Convenient ice-making process - Space-saving design - Enhanced cooling efficiency
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Ice Maker Technology for Refrigerators This technology can be used in various refrigeration units, catering to both household and commercial needs. The efficient ice-making process and space-saving design make it a valuable addition to modern refrigerators.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the varying height of the ice-making cells in the tray contribute to the efficiency of ice production?
- The varying heights allow for more ice to be produced in a compact space, maximizing the capacity of the ice tray.
2. What are the potential maintenance requirements for the ice maker in this refrigerator?
- Regular cleaning and occasional defrosting may be necessary to ensure optimal performance of the ice maker.
Original Abstract Submitted
a refrigerator according to the present embodiment includes: a cabinet provided with a storage compartment; a door configured to open and close the storage compartment; and an ice maker configured to receive cold air for cooling the storage compartment so as to make ice, wherein the ice maker includes an ice tray comprising a plurality of ice-making cells configured to make ice, and the plurality of ice-making cells are arranged in a plurality of columns, each column comprising two or more ice-making cells, and bottom surfaces of the ice-making cells have different heights for each column.
