REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18432820 titled 'REFRIGERATOR

Simplified Explanation

The refrigerator described in the patent application consists of two tray assemblies for making ice, with one tray assembly having a deformation-resistant reinforcement part to support the ice-making cells.

  • The refrigerator comprises a first tray assembly forming a part of ice-making cells.
  • The refrigerator also includes a second tray assembly forming the other part of the ice-making cells.
  • The first tray assembly has a first part with a first surface forming a part of the ice-making cells.
  • The first part of the first tray assembly includes a deformation-resistant reinforcement part extending from the first surface vertically away from a heater.

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could be applied to household refrigerators, commercial refrigeration units, and ice-making machines.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the problem of ensuring efficient and reliable ice production in refrigerators by providing a sturdy reinforcement part in the tray assembly.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved ice-making performance, increased durability of the tray assembly, and enhanced overall functionality of the refrigerator.

Potential Commercial Applications

The technology could be utilized in the manufacturing of refrigerators for residential use, as well as in commercial settings such as restaurants, bars, and hotels.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be refrigerators with traditional ice-making trays that do not have a specific reinforcement part for supporting the ice-making cells.

Unanswered Questions

How does the deformation-resistant reinforcement part affect the overall ice-making process?

The reinforcement part helps maintain the structural integrity of the ice-making cells, but it is unclear how it impacts the efficiency or speed of ice production.

Are there any specific materials recommended for the deformation-resistant reinforcement part?

The patent application does not specify the materials to be used for the reinforcement part, leaving room for further exploration and research in this area.


Original Abstract Submitted

The refrigerator according to the present invention may comprise: a first tray assembly forming a part of ice-making cells; and a second tray assembly forming the other part of the ice-making cells. In order that ice can be produced in the direction of ice-making cells formed by any one of the first and second tray assemblies to ice-making cells formed by the other tray assembly, following the start of an ice-making process, the one tray assembly comprises a first part, and the first part comprises: a first surface forming a part of the ice-making cells; and a first deformation-resistant reinforcement part extending from the first surface in the vertical direction away from a heater.
