ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes a main body including a first door, a door opening device configured to open the first door, a first proximity sensor disposed adjacent to the first door, a first infrared sensor disposed on the first door, and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to, based on detection data obtained by the first proximity sensor, control the door opening device to open the first door based on an external object approaching within a threshold distance from the refrigerator, and based on the external object being identified based on detection data obtained by the first infrared sensor while the first door is open, control the door opening device to stop opening of the first door.
REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes a main body including a door, a door opening device including a motor, and for opening the door using the motor, a proximity sensor, and a controller, wherein the controller is configured to detect whether an object exists within a first distance from a predetermined area of the refrigerator, identify whether the object is detected during a threshold time range, based on the object being detected during the threshold time range, identify whether the object is detected outside a second distance from the predetermined area, and based on the object being detected outside the second distance, control the motor to open the door.
REFRIGERATOR AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator includes a main body including a first door and a second door, a door opening device configured to open the first door and the second door, a first proximity sensor disposed adjacent to the first door, a second proximity sensor disposed adjacent to the second door, and a processor, and the processor may control the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor to operate alternately, based on sensing data obtained by the first proximity sensor and the second proximity sensor, identify a door close to an external object that approaches within a threshold distance from the refrigerator, and control the door opening device to open the identified door among the first door and the second door.
Refrigerator
A refrigerator includes a cabinet having a freezing compartment, an ice-maker disposed in the freezing compartment to make spherical ice, an ice bin disposed below the ice-maker for storing ice removed from the ice-maker, and an ice tray disposed inside the ice bin. At least a portion of a bottom face of the ice tray is spaced apart from a bottom face of the ice bin, and a plurality of tray holes are defined to pass through the bottom face of the ice tray.
REFRIGERATOR
The present invention provides a refrigerator, comprising a refrigerator body and a door body. A hinge body is disposed on the refrigerator body. A first hinge shaft and a second hinge shaft are disposed on the hinge body. A first guide groove and a second guide groove are formed in the door body. The first hinge shaft is located in the first guide groove and the second hinge shaft is located in the second guide groove. During opening of the door body, the first guide groove moves relative to the first hinge shaft and the second guide groove moves relative to the second hinge shaft, the first hinge shaft applies an acting force to the first guide groove to drive the end, away from the first guide groove, of the second guide groove to approach the second hinge shaft, so that the door body is displaced in a horizontal direction.
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.

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.
COOLING SYSTEM
A system for cooling a product includes an enclosed environment having an outlet, an inlet, and a temperature in a first temperature range. An antechamber is at least partially surrounding the inlet of the enclosed environment and has a temperature in a second temperature range. A conveyor system includes a conveyor path extending between the inlet and the outlet of the enclosed environment and provides a spiral travel path. The temperature range of the enclosed environment is configured to cool the product before the product exits through the outlet of the enclosed environment.
Refrigerator
A refrigerator includes a cabinet that defines a storage chamber, an upper door that is configured to open and close an upper portion of the storage chamber by being drawn in and out, a lower door that is positioned below the upper door and that is configured to open and close a lower portion of the storage chamber by being drawn in and out, an upper door restriction unit that is configured to selectively restrict the upper door from being opened, and a lower door restriction unit that is configured to selectively restrict the lower door from being opened. The upper door restriction unit is configured, based on the lower door being opened, to restrict the upper door from opening, and the lower door restriction unit is configured, based on the upper door being opened, to restrict the lower door from opening.
Appliance mounting assembly
An appliance mounting assembly includes a mounting bracket with first and second distal arms that flare outward in opposing directions from an attachment body and couple to a panel. The mounting bracket includes a pair of coupling members that extend from the attachment body toward the panel surface and distal ends that curve inward toward one another. A self-clinching nut has an undercut, serrated clinching ring, and base. The undercut and the serrated clinching ring are disposed within an aperture defined by the attachment body. A ladder rack has first and second sides coupled via an attachment wall. The first and second sides define protrusions that engage the pair of coupling members in an interference fit. The attachment wall defines a receiving hole that aligns with the aperture. A threaded fastener extends through the receiving hole and engages the self-clinching nut to fasten the ladder rack to the mounting bracket.
