According to the invention, the cooling air feed device (3) is configured to introduce the cooled air as jets into the primary flow channel along the primary flow direction (x), and in the cooling compartment (2) a secondary flow channel (9) is configured to return, as a secondary flow (9A), a portion (9A) of the cooling air flow guided through the primary flow channel around the at least one refrigerated goods container (20) into the primary flow channel for the purpose of mixing the introduced cooled air and forming a circulation flow (97) around the at least one refrigerated goods container (20) along the primary flow direction (x).
HOME APPLIANCE DEVICE WITH A DOOR RACK CONTAINER AND HOME APPLIANCE INCLUDING THE HOME APPLIANCE DEVICE
A home appliance device, in particular a home appliance chiller device, with improved efficiency, includes a door rack container having an access opening and a pivot unit which is pivotably coupled to the door rack container about a pivot axis. The pivot unit includes a container door for closing the access opening and a receptacle coupled to the container door for storing products. The receptacle includes an extension which is at least substantially parallel to a main extension plane of the access opening and at least substantially perpendicular to the pivot axis. The extension of the receptacle is at least 5% shorter than a corresponding extension of the container door in a closed state of the container door. A home appliance, in particular a home chiller appliance, including a home appliance device, is also provided.
Refrigerated display case with shelf indexing system
A refrigerated display case is provided. The refrigerated display case includes a rear wall has a first end, a second end disposed opposite the first end and a plurality of markings disposed between the first end and the second end. A mounting rail is coupled to the rear wall. A shelf is adjustably coupleable to the mounting rail at a plurality of positions between the first end and the second end of the rear wall. The plurality of markings are configured to indicate a distance from the first end of the rear wall to the shelf based on alignment of the shelf with at least one of the plurality of markings.
BEVERAGE ACTIVE CHILLER
A mechanical apparatus comprised of a plurality of pods in the form of a cylindrical sleeve, containing liquid, to be frozen for the purpose of dynamically transfer/impart its charged thermal energy to a directly contacted object placed within. The pods are joined to each other by elastic bands allowing it to instantly expanse and grip varying size beverage containers. Furthermore, the plurality of pods and a beverage container are disposed in an insulated holder; a sealable cap is then inserted to seal off and insulate the discharging of thermal energy therein from ambient conditions. A beverage in the form of can or bottle may be placed in the apparatus to achieve desired chill temperature for an extended length of time in high ambient temperature conditions.
REFRIGERATOR
A refrigerator include: an inner case having a storage chamber; a thermoelectric module including a thermoelectric element and a cooling sink; a fan configured to circulate air, to the storage chamber; a fan cover configured to cover the fan and having an upper discharge hole, a lower discharge hole, and an inner suction hole formed between the upper discharge hole and the lower discharge hole; a first receiving member disposed in the storage chamber; and a second receiving member disposed over the first receiving member to be spaced apart from the first receiving member. At least a portion of each of the inner suction hole and the lower discharge hole faces a portion between the first receiving member and the second receiving member, and at least a portion of the upper discharge hole faces a portion between a top surface of the storage chamber and the second receiving member.
Household appliance, in particular beverage bottle storage cabinet with specific bottle illumination
A household appliance, in particular a beverage bottle storage cabinet, has a beverage bottle receiving space, which is delimited by an upper wall. An illuminating device illuminates the beverage bottle receiving space. The upper wall has at least one light transmission opening through which light of a light module of the illuminating device can be radiated into the beverage bottle receiving space. A distance adapter adjoins the light transmission opening. The distance adapter spaces the light module from an underside of the upper wall that delimits the beverage bottle receiving space outside the beverage bottle receiving space. The distance adapter allows light from the light module to be directed to the light transmission opening.
AUTOMATED BLAST CELL LOADING AND UNLOADING
A system for blast-freezing items includes a plurality of cells arranged side-by-side, each cell including a housing with a bay space, a plenum, a front air passage, a rear air passage, and a fan. The fan is positioned in the plenum and configured to circulate air through the bay space. Each cell also includes a plurality of channels to separate pathways of air to segments of the bay space. The system also includes a plurality of crane rails extending between rows of cells and at least one crane capable of traveling along the plurality of crane rails to load or unload each of the plurality of cells.
IN-REFRIGERATOR BLOWER AND REFRIGERATOR INCLUDING THE SAME
An in-refrigerator blower configured to drive cold air to refrigerator storage rooms with reduced vibration and reduced noise. The in-refrigerator blower includes a drive device, a drive device accommodation portion, and a support portion coupled to the drive device accommodation portion and configured to extend in a radial direction. A plurality of blades extend in a direction different from an extension direction of the support portion. Each of the blades has an entrance angle in the range of 39°-49°, an exit angle in the range of 29.5° to 34.5° in one example. The number of the blades is greater than seven and smaller than nine.
