Systems and methods for sealing a refrigerated galley of an aircraft
The present disclosure provides system for sealing a refrigerated galley of an aircraft. The system includes a door, and a seal assembly positioned at a bottom surface of the door. The seal assembly includes (i) a housing coupled to the bottom surface of the door, (ii) a seal positioned at least partially in the housing, wherein the seal is moveable relative to the housing and the door, (iii) a biasing mechanism coupled to the housing and the seal and configured to hold the seal in a relaxed state by applying a biasing force to the seal in a direction away from a floor surface of the refrigerated galley, and (iv) an activation mechanism coupled to the housing. The activation mechanism is configured to transition the seal from the relaxed state to a compressed state in response to a rotation of the door from an open position to a closed position.
Thermal Frame with Flange Heat Input
A frame for a refrigerated enclosure includes a frame segment having, in cross-section, a main frame member including a base, a middle wall, and a forward flange. The forward flange of the main frame member absorbs heat from the ambient air to increase a temperature of one or more locations of the frame segment or a door of the refrigerated enclosure.
Vacuum adiabatic body and refrigerator
A vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate; a second plate; a seal; a support; a heat resistance unit; and an exhaust port, wherein the heat resistance unit includes a conductive resistance sheet having one end connected to the first plate member, the conductive resistance sheet resisting heat conduction flowing along a wall for the third space, the heat resistance unit further includes a side frame connected to the conductive resistance sheet, the side frame defining at least one portion of the wall for the third space, the side frame includes a first mounting surface connected to the conductive resistance sheet and a second mounting surface connected to the second plate, and the second mounting surface is supported by the support.
Vacuum adiabatic body and refrigerator
A vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate; a second plate; a seal; a support; a heat resistance unit; and an exhaust port, wherein the heat resistance unit includes a conductive resistance sheet connected to at least one of the first and second plates, the conductive resistance sheet resisting heat conduction flowing along a wall for the third space, the conductive resistance sheet includes a mounting part mounted on the first or second plate and a curved part having at least one portion depressed into the third space, a coupler that fixes the conductive resistance sheet to the first or second plate is formed on the mounting part, and the curved part includes a first curved part depressed toward the third space and a second curved part extending from the first curved part, the second curved part surrounding an edge portion of the first or second plate.
SEALING ASSEMBLY FOR REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator including a body, a door, configured to pivot about the body, a female sealing member, and a male sealing member. The body is provided with a first refrigerated compartment. The door may be configured to pivot between an open position, in which the refrigerated compartment is open, and closed position, in which the refrigerated compartment is closed. The female sealing member extends along portions of the body or portions of the door. The male sealing member extends along the other of the portions of the body or the door. When the door is in the closed position, the female sealing member receives the male sealing member.
Sealing assembly for cooling device doors and cooling device having the sealing assembly
A sealing assembly seals an area between a door and a cabinet of a cooling device having a refrigeration compartment with two doors and a rotating bar pivotally mounted to one of the doors. The sealing assembly having a magnet chamber which defines a receiving cavity for accommodating a magnetic element, a first air chamber provided at one side of the sealing assembly, an attachment portion for attaching the sealing assembly to the door of the cooling device, a second air chamber provided between the magnet chamber and the first air chamber; and a first sealing flap adapted to form a closed region for sealing a space thereof. The sealing assembly further contains a second sealing flap extending as a free end towards the rotating bar. Moreover, a cooling device ideally contains such sealing assemblies.
Drawer assembly and refrigerator
A drawer assembly contains a drawer, a cap, and a sealing member. The drawer has an upward opening. The cap being capable of sliding forward and backward relative to the drawer to open or close the opening. The sealing member is disposed between the cap and the drawer and has a sealing surface between the sealing member and the drawer or the cap, and the sealing surface has a rough feature. More specifically, the sealing surface has the rough feature. Therefore, when the cap closes the opening, a contact area between the sealing member and the drawer or the cap is relatively reduced, binding is relatively weakened, and suction is relatively reduced. The cap can be easily pushed away by merely applying relatively little thrust to open the opening when the opening of the drawer needs to be opened, greatly facilitating use by a user.
Cooling apparatus comprising a connecting element for supporting tubes or wires or the like
A cooling apparatus having a compartment for storing products to be cooled and one or more tubes and/or wires connected to the compartment. A connecting element secures the tubes/wires to a compartment wall. The connecting element has a base portion configured to connect to the compartment wall and a supporting portion for supporting the tubes/wires. The supporting portion has first and second arms protruding from the base portion and defining a seat configured to receive the tubes/wires. The supporting portion has at least one elastic traverse member protruding from the first arm and/or the second arm towards the receiving seat. The elastic traverse member is configured to contact the tubes/wires that are inserted into the seat and secure the tubes/wires into the seat.
Cooling apparatus comprising a connecting element for supporting tubes or wires or the like
A cooling apparatus having a compartment for storing products to be cooled and one or more tubes and/or wires connected to the compartment. A connecting element secures the tubes/wires to a compartment wall. The connecting element has a base portion configured to connect to the compartment wall and a supporting portion for supporting the tubes/wires. The supporting portion has first and second arms protruding from the base portion and defining a seat configured to receive the tubes/wires. The supporting portion has at least one elastic traverse member protruding from the first arm and/or the second arm towards the receiving seat. The elastic traverse member is configured to contact the tubes/wires that are inserted into the seat and secure the tubes/wires into the seat.
Vacuum adiabatic body and refrigerator
A vacuum adiabatic body includes a first plate; a second plate; a seal; a support; and an exhaust port, wherein an extension tab extending toward the third space to be coupled to the support is provided to at least one of the first and second plates, and the extension tab extends downward from an edge portion of the at least one of the first and second plates.
