REFRIGERATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240219098 titled 'REFRIGERATOR
The abstract describes a refrigerator with a storage compartment divided into a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment by a detachable partition with insulating properties.
- The refrigerator includes an inner case forming a storage compartment with a duct.
- The duct has a front side with a first coupling portion.
- A partition can be mounted in front of the duct, dividing the storage compartment.
- The partition has a rear surface with a second coupling portion that connects to the first coupling portion.
- The partition also contains a partition insulator that contacts the duct when the partition is mounted.
- The exposed portion of the partition insulator is in close contact with the duct body.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in household refrigerators to provide separate compartments for refrigerating and freezing items. - It can also be applied in commercial refrigeration units to optimize storage space and temperature control.
Problems Solved: - The technology solves the issue of inefficient storage in refrigerators by providing separate compartments with precise temperature control. - It addresses the need for flexibility in storage options within a refrigerator.
Benefits: - Improved organization and storage efficiency in refrigerators. - Enhanced temperature control for different types of food items. - Easy customization of storage compartments based on user needs.
Commercial Applications: Refrigerator manufacturers can incorporate this technology into their products to offer consumers more flexibility and efficiency in food storage. This innovation can attract customers looking for advanced features in refrigeration appliances.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the partition insulator contribute to the overall efficiency of the refrigerator? 2. What are the potential energy-saving benefits of using this technology in refrigeration units?
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.
