REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240310113 titled 'REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
The abstract describes a refrigerator with a main door and a sub-door, a panel assembly for viewing the inside of the refrigerator, an injection port for insulating foaming solution, a detection device, a lighting unit, and a display unit.
- Main door and sub-door configuration for selective viewing of the inside
- Injection port for insulating foaming solution in the sub-door
- Detection device for user operation
- Lighting unit that turns on based on user operation
- Display unit for information inside the refrigerator
Potential Applications: - Household refrigeration - Commercial refrigeration - Food storage and preservation
Problems Solved: - Enhanced user experience with selective viewing - Improved insulation with injection port - Efficient operation with detection device
Benefits: - Better visibility of stored items - Energy efficiency with improved insulation - User-friendly operation with detection device
Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Refrigerator Design for Enhanced User Experience This technology can be used in various commercial settings such as restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience stores to provide a better user experience and efficient operation.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the injection port for insulating foaming solution work? The injection port in the sub-door directs the insulating foaming solution to a space in the sub-door, enhancing the insulation of the refrigerator.
2. What is the purpose of the detection device in the refrigerator? The detection device is used to detect user operation, triggering the lighting unit inside the refrigerator for selective viewing of the inside.
Original Abstract Submitted
a refrigerator includes a cabinet forming a storage space, a main door that opens and closes the storage space while defining an opening part that is in communication with the storage space, a sub-door mounted to the main door and configured to open and close the opening part, the sub-door including a panel assembly for allowing selective viewing of an inside of the opening part, the injection port is provided at a lower side of the sub-door to direct an insulating foaming solution to a space in the sub-door, a detection device for detecting an operation of a user, a lighting unit inside the refrigerator that turns on based on user operation to allow selective viewing of the inner side of the opening part, and a display unit inside the refrigerator at a position corresponding to the panel.
