Sealing structure and refrigerated container having same

A sealing structure and a refrigerated container having same. The sealing structure comprises a base, a protruding portion, a deforming portion, and connections through holes. The base is a bar having a predetermined thickness. The protruding portion and the deforming portion are on a sealing surface of the base, and are configured to protrude outwards relative to the sealing surface and extend lengthwise along the base. The deforming portion extends by the same length as but higher than the protruding portion. When the deforming portion is subjected to a force toward the sealing surface, the height decreases. The holes are between the protruding portion and the deforming portion along the base. The holes are spaced apart from each other in the lengthwise direction of the base. The performance of the sealing structure improves hermeticity of products, reduces quality risks, and ensures pressure-resistance installation and anti-weathering performance that extends service life.

Home appliance device and method of manufacturing the home appliance device

A home appliance device, in particular a home refrigeration appliance device, has improved energy efficiency. The home appliance device has at least one functional unit, which is embodied as a partitioning unit for partitioning at least one storage space into at least two subspaces in an assembled state. The partitioning unit contains at least one thermal insulation inlay element and at least one protective foil. The at least one thermal insulation inlay element is encased by the protective foil.

Standoff feature for appliance

A standoff feature for an appliance includes a connecting member having a first end and a second end. A first side member extends in a first direction from the first end of the connecting member. A second side member is spaced from the first side member. The second side member extends in the first direction from the second end of the connecting member. A first flange extends from a first side edge of the connecting member. The first side edge extends between the first end and the second end. The first flange extends in a second direction from the connecting member. A second flange extends from a second side edge of the connecting member. The second side edge extends between the first end and the second end and opposes the first side edge. The second flange extends in the second direction from the connecting member.

Refrigeration appliance cabinet assembly

A cabinet assembly for a refrigerating appliance includes an inner liner having a forward liner edge. The forward liner edge defines an access opening. An outer wrapper is disposed around the inner liner and has a forward wrapper edge. The outer wrapper is spaced-apart from the inner liner to define an insulating cavity therebetween. A mullion assembly extends across the access opening. A trim breaker extends about the access opening and is coupled to the forward wrapper edge and the forward liner edge to seal the insulating cavity. The trim breaker includes a spacing flange positioned to contact the mullion assembly to define a receiving space between the trim breaker and the mullion assembly.

REFRIGERATING UNIT WITH A HEATING ARRANGEMENT
20230086468 · 2023-03-23 · ·

A refrigerating unit including a compartment, a glass door, and a heating arrangement installed in a base profile of the compartment. The refrigerating unit including an elongated gasket profile having a proximal part and a distal part, wherein the proximal part includes a flexible element configured to allow the distal part to be displaced towards the base profile upon closing the glass door. The distal part includes a hollow part with a first side of the hollow part connected to the proximal part and a second side of the hollow part directed towards the glass door. The heating arrangement further includes a heat-conducting material enclosed by the hollow part and arranged with an outer side surface of the heat-conducting material abutting the second side of the hollow part, and a heating element enclosed by the hollow part and arranged for conductive heating of the heat-conducting material.

Structural panel for an appliance having stamped components and method therefor

An operable panel for an appliance includes a metallic outer wrapper having a perimetrical wrapper edge that partially defines a perimetrical breaker channel, an inner liner and a plurality of corner brackets disposed proximate the perimetrical wrapper edge. Each corner bracket cooperates with the perimetrical wrapper edge to fully define the perimetrical breaker channel. A trim breaker is adhered to the metallic outer wrapper and the corner brackets at the perimetrical breaker channel and having a liner channel that receives a portion of the inner liner. The trim breaker extends between the inner liner and the outer wrapper. An insulation material is disposed within an insulating cavity defined between the inner liner and the outer wrapper.
