REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18384560 titled 'REFRIGERATOR
The abstract describes a refrigerator with a storage compartment that can be divided into a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment by a detachable partition.
- The refrigerator includes an inner case forming a storage compartment.
- A duct in the storage compartment consists of a duct body and a first coupling portion on the front side.
- A partition can be mounted in front of the duct, dividing the storage compartment into two compartments.
- The partition has a partition body, a second coupling portion on the rear surface, and a partition insulator with an exposed portion.
- When the partition is mounted, the exposed portion of the insulator is in close contact with the duct body.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in household refrigerators to provide separate refrigerating and freezing compartments. - It can also be applied in commercial refrigeration units for better organization of stored items.
Problems Solved: - The technology solves the problem of limited storage options in traditional refrigerators. - It addresses the need for customizable storage compartments based on user preferences.
Benefits: - Improved organization and storage options in refrigerators. - Enhanced flexibility in storing different types of food items. - Efficient cooling and freezing capabilities.
Commercial Applications: Refrigerator manufacturers can incorporate this technology into their product lines to offer consumers more versatile storage solutions. This innovation can attract customers looking for customizable refrigeration options.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the detachable partition improve the functionality of the refrigerator? 2. What are the potential energy-saving benefits of this technology?
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers are continually exploring ways to enhance the efficiency and usability of refrigeration technologies. Stay updated on the latest advancements in refrigerator design and functionality.
Original Abstract Submitted
A refrigerator includes an inner case forming a storage compartment, a duct in the storage compartment, the duct including: a duct body, and a first coupling portion on a front side of the duct body, and a partition detachably mountable in front of the duct and dividing the storage compartment into a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment, the partition including: a partition body, a second coupling portion on a rear surface of the partition body and couplable to the first coupling portion, a partition hole in the partition body, and a partition insulator within the partition body and including an exposed portion exposed through the partition hole, wherein the partition insulator is configured so that when the partition is mounted in front of the duct and the second coupling portion is coupled to the first coupling portion, the exposed portion is in close contact with the duct body.
