A household device, in particular a refrigeration device, includes an electronic control device configured to control at least one function of the household device, an input device connected to the control device, having at least one input and being configured to supply an assigned control signal to the control device, based on a manual actuation of the at least one input. An input locking device, in its locked state, is configured to prevent controlling of the function of the household device, despite the at least one input being actuated, and in its unlocked state, is configured to permit controlling of the function of the household device when the at least one input is actuated. The input locking device is configured and/or constructed for shifting the input locking device into the locked state, after the at least one input has not been actuated over a predefined time period.

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device of the present invention comprises a communication unit and a processor for receiving information on a refrigerator from the refrigerator through the communication unit, dividing an operation section of the refrigerator into an event section and a normal section on the basis of the received information, and determining whether the refrigerator is abnormal on the basis of a state of the refrigerator in the normal section or the event section among the received information. The event section includes a section from a time point when a door of the refrigerator is opened to a time point when the temperature of the refrigerator reaches a predetermined temperature after the door is closed, and the normal section includes a section from a time point when the temperature of the refrigerator reaches the predetermined temperature to a time point before the door is opened.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator, comprising: a dry article chamber, a cold chamber, a first cooling and circulating system and a second cooling and circulating system in which a coolant circulates respectively, wherein an evaporating temperature of the first cooling and circulating system is lower than that of the second cooling and circulating system, the first cooling and circulating system comprises an evaporator arranged inside the cold chamber, and a refrigerating output passage is arranged between the cold chamber and the dry article chamber. By communicating the dry article chamber with the cold chamber of the first cooling and circulating system whose evaporating temperature is relatively low, the absolute humidity of the air entering the dry article chamber is much lower, realizing a lower absolute humidity in the dry article chamber.

The present disclosure is relates to a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes first storage for defining a first storage space therein, a door for opening and closing the first storage space, and a plurality of shelves installed in the first storage space for placing an object thereon. The shelf includes a frame having a plurality of support bars for loading a plurality of wine bottles thereon, a shelf bracket detachably mounted and fixed in the storage space, and an extending rail for supporting the frame to be able to be extended forwardly of the first storage from the shelf bracket.

A system and method of tracking, assigning and releasing biological fluids. The system and method identifies, assigns and releases biological fluid products from controlled storage based on medical criteria supported by the use of RFID technology.

A perishable storage unit with means for sanitizing food stuffs having a sanitization unit. The storage unit provides a storage body, a door, and a cooling system, wherein the cooling system is integrated with the storage body to maintain a cooling temperature when the door is in a closed position. The sanitization unit includes a light assembly and a switch, wherein the switch is integrated with a peripheral edge of the storage unit such that the door engages the switch when in the closed position. The light assembly is configured to emit sterilizing wavelengths of light, such as ultraviolet light, and is operably coupled to the switch, such that when the door is actuated from an open position to the closed position, the light assembly is switched from an off state to an on state.

A household appliance includes an interior compartment, a door for closing the interior compartment and a drive facility for assisting with opening the door. The household appliance further includes a pressure sensing facility for detecting or sensing a difference between an interior pressure inside the interior compartment and an ambient pressure outside the interior compartment. The drive facility is configured to apply a driving force to the door as a function of the difference between the pressures.

A cooler with a modular light bar having multiple LEDs and a secondary lid is disclosed herein. The LEDs are preferably automatically activated by a switch positioned in the cooler. When the lid is in an open state, the switch completes a circuit from a battery to the LEDs of the modular light bar thereby allowing the LEDs to illuminate the entire interior chamber of the cooler.

Disclosed is a refrigerator for uniformly illuminating an inner space thereof. The refrigerator includes a cabinet including a storage compartment having a predetermined size, a shelf installed in the storage compartment, the shelf including a light source unit for illuminating an inside of the storage compartment, a transmitter connected to an external power supply for wirelessly transmitting power, the transmitter having a primary resonance frequency within a predetermined range, and a receiver for wirelessly receiving the power from the transmitter so as to supply the power to the light source unit of the shelf, the transmitter transmitting the power to the receiver using a secondary resonance frequency generated when the receiver is located close to the transmitter.

A refrigerator locking system is used to secure the doors of a refrigerator in closed or open positions. The system includes at least one anchor bar, a locking bracket, a door block and a refrigerator. The refrigerator includes a frame, at least one refrigerator door and a freezer door. The anchor bar is mounted to the frame in between the refrigerator door and the freezer door. The locking bracket is connected adjacent to the frame and is engaged with to the door block to secure the refrigerator door and the freezer door. The door block can be used to press the refrigerator door and the freezer door against the frame, keeping the refrigerator closed. Alternatively, the door block can be positioned in between the frame and both the refrigerator door and the freezer door to keep the refrigerator open.
