The freezer frame and the freezer of the present invention use the heat of the light source for lighting to heat the panel to prevent the panel from fogging and generating condensed water, prevent the freezer door and frame from freezing, and simplify the structure to reduce energy consumption and manufacturing costs.

A refrigerator appliance is provided including a cabinet defining a chilled chamber, a door rotatably hinged to the cabinet to provide selective access to the chilled chamber, and an inventory management system mounted within the chilled chamber for monitoring objects positioned within the chilled chamber. The inventory management system includes a camera assembly that obtains a plurality of images of food items as they are being added to or removed from the chilled chamber. A controller of the appliance analyzes the images using a machine learning image recognition process to identify an object and monitor the object between different images to determine a motion vector associated with its movement.

An artificial intelligence server can include a communication interface configured to communicate with a display device and a refrigerator; and a processor configured to in response to the display device displaying an image including a dish, acquire dish information about the dish included in the image displayed on the display device, receive, from the refrigerator, available ingredient information about ingredients in the refrigerator, and transmit, to the display device, information about making the dish by using the ingredients in the refrigerator.

A refrigerator appliance is provided including a cabinet defining a chilled chamber, a door rotatably hinged to the cabinet to provide selective access to the chilled chamber, and an inventory management system mounted within the chilled chamber for monitoring objects positioned within the chilled chamber. The inventory management system may include a noncontact scanning device, such as a three-dimensional light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor, a camera assembly, and/or one or more weight sensors that work together to detect, identify, and locate objects positioned within the chilled chamber.

Provided is a sensor package in a refrigerator configured to provide information related to refrigerated food. The sensor package may include a body having a mark classified by a type of food allocated to the sensor package and indicating the type of food of a food to which the sensor package is coupled, a battery, an operation switch, a memory configured to store food information corresponding to the type of food corresponding to the mark, a sensor communication module that communicates with a display provided in the refrigerator, a sensing module that senses state information associated with the food, and a sensor control module that controls the sensor communication module to initiate communication between the sensor package and the display of the refrigerator based on the state information sensed by the sensing module.

A server includes a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to obtain an inside-fridge image captured in a refrigerator by comparing a pre-stored image to the obtained inside-fridge image, identify whether a change area in which a change occurred in the obtained inside-fridge image is present in the obtained inside-fridge image, based on the change area being not present in the obtained inside-fridge image, obtain first food storage information, using a first result of recognizing the pre-stored image, based on the change area being present in the obtained inside-fridge image, obtain second food storage information, using the obtained first food storage information and a second result of recognizing an object included in the obtained inside-fridge image, and transmit, to the refrigerator, the obtained inside-fridge image and either one or both of the obtained first food storage information and the obtained second food storage information.

A high-precision control system and method for shipborne cryogenic flash freezing of an aquatic product using liquid nitrogen is described. The system may include a main control system, a display unit, a liquid nitrogen supply system, a valve control unit, an acquisition unit, and a power unit. A flash freezing process is divided into four stages: a precooling stage, a flash freezing stage, a deep freezing stage, and a thermal insulation stage. Different cooling rates and flash freezing times are used for different stages, where a cooling rate is used in the flash freezing stage is the highest, a cooling rate used in the deep freezing stage is next, a cooling rate used in the precooling stage is the lowest, and an ambient temperature in a device is kept stable in the thermal insulation stage.

A sensor device can be mounted on a pivotable door of a domestic refrigeration appliance. The sensor device includes an inertial sensor for supplying a motion signal as well as a processing device configured to determine a pivoting angle of the pivotable door on the basis of the motion signal and to output a signal when the pivoting angle has reached a predetermined threshold value. A household refrigeration appliance having a sensor device is also provided.

A control method of a refrigerating and freezing device and a refrigerating and freezing device are provided. The refrigerating and freezing device includes a cabinet defining a storage compartment. The control method includes a refrigerating operation step, a foodstuff determining step, and a cooling operation step. The refrigerating operation step is to control a temperature of the storage compartment to be within a first preset temperature range. The foodstuff determining step is to determine whether a new foodstuff is put into the storage compartment. The cooling operation step is to, when a new foodstuff is put into the storage compartment, cool the storage compartment. Since the temperature of the new foodstuff is greater than that of the original foodstuffs in the refrigerating and freezing device, cooling the storage compartment changes a storage temperature suitable for the foodstuffs originally stored in the storage compartment into a storage temperature suitable for the foodstuffs originally stored in the storage compartment into a storage temperature suitable for the new foodstuff, and the storage temperature is more convenient for the preservation of the new foodstuff and ensures good storage conditions for the newly put foodstuff. Furthermore, the preservation effect on the original foodstuffs will not be affected, and the preservation effect of the refrigerating and freezing device on the foodstuff is enhanced.

An apparatus for cooling bottled beverages may include an open-topped vessel defining a bottle chamber. The vessel may have a tubular wall and a base. The apparatus may further include a cooling device in thermal communication with the base of the vessel and with a heat exchanger. The apparatus may also include a tubular housing surrounding the vessel and enclosing the cooling device and the heat exchanger. Additionally, the apparatus may include a fan configured to provide an air flow along an airflow path. The airflow path may extend from an inlet of the housing, across the heat exchanger, to an outlet of the housing.
