REFRIGERATOR AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240280306 titled 'REFRIGERATOR AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING SAME
The abstract describes a patent application for a refrigerator with a unique ice-making system. The refrigerator includes a first tray and a second tray that form part of the ice-making cell, a water supply, a heater, and a controller to control the heater. The second tray is movable with respect to the first tray, and the controller controls the movement of the second tray.
- The refrigerator has a first tray and a second tray that form an ice-making cell.
- Water undergoes a phase change to ice in the ice-making cell due to cool air.
- The second tray is in contact with the first tray during the ice-making process.
- A water supply is provided to supply water to the ice-making cell.
- A heater is adjacent to at least one of the trays.
- The second tray is moveable with respect to the first tray.
- The controller controls the movement of the second tray.
Potential Applications: - Household refrigerators - Commercial refrigeration units - Ice-making machines
Problems Solved: - Efficient ice-making process - Controlled ice production - Improved functionality of refrigerators
Benefits: - Energy efficiency - Consistent ice production - Enhanced user experience
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Ice-Making System for Refrigerators This technology can be used in household refrigerators, commercial refrigeration units, and ice-making machines, improving the efficiency and functionality of these appliances.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the movable second tray improve the ice-making process? 2. What are the advantages of having a controller to control the heater in the refrigerator?
Original Abstract Submitted
a refrigerator includes a first tray forming a part of an ice-making cell in which water undergoes a phase change to ice due to the cool air, a second tray forming another part of the ice-making cell and in contact with the first tray during an ice-making process, a water supply to supply water to the ice-making cell, a heater which is adjacent to at least one of the first tray or the second tray; and a controller to control the heater. the second tray is moveable with respect to the first tray, and the controller is configured to control a movement of the second tray.
