The present invention relates to a refrigerator. The present invention provides a refrigerator including: a cabinet provided with a storage space; and a door connected to the cabinet to open and close the storage space, wherein the door includes: a front panel made of a stone material; a door liner disposed on a rear surface of the front panel to define a foaming space together with the front panel; and an insulating material provided in the foaming space, wherein the door liner includes a panel coupling portion that is in contact with the rear surface of the front panel, and a guide groove into which at least a portion of the panel coupling portion is inserted is provided in the rear surface of the front panel.

A refrigerator according to this embodiment includes: an inner case configured to define a storage space; a middle plate disposed outside the inner case and configured to define a foaming space in which an insulating material is disposed together with the inner case; a cabinet cover disposed above the middle plate to define an outer appearance of a top surface, the cabinet cover being capable of being coupled to the middle plate by a coupling member; and a partition member configured to provide a moving path of the coupling member in the foaming space.

A refrigerator is provided. The refrigerator may include a main body having a storage compartment, a first door rotatably installed at a first side of the main body to open and close a first portion of the storage compartment, and a second door rotatably installed at a second side of the main body to open and close a second portion of the storage compartment. A first camera may be installed at the first door to take a picture of an interior of the first storage compartment during rotation of the first door, and a second camera may be installed at the second door to take a picture of the interior of the first storage compartment during rotation of the second door. A controller may combine plural pictures taken by the first camera and the second camera into a single corrected image of a region of the first compartment spanning from the first door to the second door.

A refrigerator with reduced material costs and improved productivity by forming a partition space inside a storage chamber in a simple structure. A refrigerator includes an outer case provided to form an external appearance, an inner case arranged at an inner side of the outer case to form a storage chamber, a partition provided to partition the inner case to form a partition space in the storage chamber, a cover provided to open or close the partition space, and a damper mounted on the partition to reduce an opening speed of the cover.

A vacuum insulated structure includes a first cover member of a unitary sheet member defining a perimeter portion, an outer frame portion defined radially inward of the perimeter portion, and an inner area surrounded and supported by the outer frame portion. The inner area defines a first planar level with a portion of the outer frame portion extending to a second planar level parallel to and spaced apart from the first planar level in an axial direction. The vacuum insulated structure further includes a second cover member of a unitary sheet and a thermal bridge interconnecting the first cover member and the second cover member at the perimeter portions thereof to define an insulating cavity therebetween. The outer frame portion deforms such that the inner area moves axially inward away from the second planar level under a force of the vacuum within the insulating cavity.

Disclosed is a freezer cabinet (1) comprising a sensor system (37, 38, 39, 40) for detecting at least one parameter indicative of the state of the freezer cabinet (1); and a slot (23) shaped to receive a communication device (10) configured to communicate with the sensor system (37, 38, 39, 40). The slot (23) extends into the cabinet (1) from a trapezoidal orifice (24) in an outer wall (6) of the cabinet (1).

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.

A method for manufacturing an insulation member for an appliance includes the steps of forming a porous bag with a woven fabric, filling the porous bag with insulation materials, heat sealing the porous bag, vibrating the porous bag to define a pillow, compressing the pillow within a mold to define a compressed insulation member, and evacuating the compressed insulation member within an insulated structure to define a vacuum insulated structure.

A refrigeration appliance device, in particular a household refrigeration appliance device, which achieves a high level of efficiency, includes an inner compartment, which forms a storage space for articles and which is made up at least of a first inner-compartment part and at least of a second inner-compartment part, which is adjacent to the first inner-compartment part and is formed separately from the first inner-compartment part. At least one prefabricated, in particular at least substantially panel-shaped, thermal insulation element, is fastened on at least one side of the inner compartment directed away from the storage space. A refrigeration appliance and/or freezer having the refrigeration appliance device, a modular system for manufacturing the refrigeration appliance device, and a method for producing the refrigeration appliance device, are also provided.

A jumper drain for a refrigerator appliance, the jumper drain including a housing with a cavity defined therein and that is in fluid communication with a storage compartment of the refrigerator appliance. An inlet and an outlet extend from the housing and are both in fluid communication with the cavity. The outlet is disposed at a location that is offset from the inlet. A pressure equalizer opening is formed in the housing. The pressure equalizer opening is configured to provide fluid communication between the cavity and an ambient environment external to the refrigerator appliance in order to equalize a pressure differential within the refrigerator appliance.
