REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18515910 titled 'REFRIGERATOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a refrigerator with an innovative cooling system and lighting setup for the storage compartment.
- Outer case forms the main body of the refrigerator.
- Inner case creates the storage compartment inside the outer case.
- Upper duct directs cold air downward towards the storage compartment.
- Rear duct guides cold air to the upper flow path.
- Rear outlet releases cold air into the storage compartment.
- LED module emits light towards the storage compartment.
- Reflective cover on the rear side reflects light from the LED module.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied to various refrigeration systems in homes, restaurants, and commercial settings.
Problems Solved
This innovation improves the distribution of cold air within the storage compartment, ensuring consistent temperatures throughout.
Benefits
- Enhanced cooling efficiency - Improved visibility inside the refrigerator - Better organization of stored items - Energy savings due to optimized airflow and lighting.
Original Abstract Submitted
A refrigerator includes an outer case forming the exterior of a main body, an inner case disposed inside the outer case to form a storage compartment, an upper duct including an upper outlet to discharge cold air downward toward the storage compartment, and disposed in the inner case to form an upper flow path to supply cold air to the upper outlet, a rear duct including a rear flow path configured to guide the cold air to the upper flow path, and a rear outlet configured to discharge cold air from the rear flow path into the storage compartment, a light emitting diode (LED) module coupled to the upper duct to emit light toward the storage compartment and including a plurality of LEDs, and a reflective cover disposed on a rear side of the storage compartment to be coupled to the rear duct and reflecting light from the LED module.
