Vacuum insulated refrigerator structure with feature for controlling deformation and improved air withdrawal
A vacuum insulated structure including a first cover member of a stamped unitary sheet defining a perimeter portion positioned at a first planar level and first rib formed in the unitary sheet extending to a second planar level spaced axially outward and disposed radially inward of the perimeter portion, a second cover member, and thermal bridge interconnecting the first cover member and the second cover member at the perimeter portions thereof to define an insulating cavity therebetween. The insulating cavity is a sealed cavity having a vacuum drawn therefrom, and the first rib defines a first portion of a path for air flow out of the sealed cavity during a vacuum draw process.
REFRIGERATOR AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
A main body of a refrigerating includes a plurality of vacuum insulation panels, each vacuum insulation panel of the plurality of vacuum insulation panels including an exterior material having first and second surfaces opposite to each other, and a core material in a vacuum state between the first and second surfaces of the exterior material. The plurality of vacuum insulation panels are assembled together so that the first surfaces of the exterior materials of the plurality of vacuum insulation panels form a storage compartment inside the main body.

TOE-KICK
A refrigerator includes a main body and a supporting structure disposed below the main body upon which the refrigerator is supported on a floor. A pair of guide rails is affixed to a bottom wall of the main body along a pair of opposed lateral sides of the main body and extend between a rear wall and a front side of the main body. A portion of a heat loop tube for a refrigeration system extends externally out of the internal storage compartment and is disposed below the main body and within a cavity. A toe kick is disposed proximate a bottom edge of the front side of the main body and proximate the floor for containing the portion of the heat loop tube within the cavity and isolating the portion of the heat loop tube from an exterior of the refrigerator.

VACUUM GENERATING SYSTEM FOR AN APPLIANCE INCORPORATING A VACUUM INSULATED STRUCTURE
An appliance includes an outer wrapper and an inner liner placed within the outer wrapper and spaced apart from the outer wrapper to define an insulating space. A trim breaker extends between the inner liner and the outer wrapper to define a structural cabinet. The trim breaker defines a front face of the cabinet. The trim breaker defines a gas conduit disposed within a wall of the structural cabinet proximate the insulating space. The gas conduit is adapted to define selective communication between the insulating space and an exterior of the structural cabinet. An insulating material is disposed within the insulating space, wherein the gas conduit is substantially free of the insulating material.

REFRIGERATOR APPLIANCE
A refrigerator includes a cabinet and a shelf. The cabinet has a rear wall and opposing side walls extending forward from the rear wall. The rear wall and opposing side walls define an internal cavity. The shelf is disposed within the internal cavity, has a base portion defining a plurality of aligned grooves, and has an extendable portion having a plurality of aligned protrusions. Each protrusion is disposed and slidable within one of the aligned grooves. The extendable portion is configured to transition between first and second positions relative to the base portion via sliding the plurality of aligned protrusions within the plurality of aligned grooves.
Refrigerator and storage system for a refrigerator
A refrigerator drawer includes a front wall, a rear wall, first and second opposing sides walls, an adjustable partition wall, and first and second rollers. The front and rear walls define first and second slots, respectively. The first and second opposing sides walls each extend between the front and rear walls such that the front, rear wall, and side walls define an internal storage space. The partition wall is disposed within the storage space. The partition wall has first and second ends extending outward and through the first and second slots, respectively. The first and second rollers are attached to the first and second ends on opposing sides of the front and rear walls, respectively. The first and second rollers are configured to roll along exterior surfaces of the front wall and rear wall, respectively, to adjust distances between the partition wall and the side walls.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator with a liner body and a beam, where the beam has an end portion, and the liner body has a liner wall. An insertion groove is on the liner wall, and the end portion is configured to be inserted into the insertion groove. A limit convex pin is on the end portion and a limit groove is on the liner wall and matched with a shape of the limit convex pin. The limit convex pin is configured to be inserted into the limit groove to limit rotation of the beam relative to the liner body. By matching the limit convex pin and the limit groove, the rotation of the beam relative to the liner wall is limited by the liner wall when the beam is under uneven forces, thereby reducing the flip probability of the beam of the refrigerator.
