A refrigerator of one embodiment includes a cabinet forming a storage, a first guide means being disposed in the storage, a holder being detachably coupled to the first guide means and including a second guide means configured to guide movement in a first direction, and a storing part defining a storage space, being coupled to the holder, and movable in a second direction different from the first direction.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage chamber, a drawer door configured to be inserted into and withdrawn out of the storage chamber, a driving device provided at the door part, an elevation device provided at the drawer part and having a scissors lift assembly, and a connecting assembly that couples the driving device to the scissors lift assembly to transfer driving force from the driving device to the scissors lift assembly. The elevation device is configured, based on being uncoupled from the connecting assembly, to be separable from the drawer part, and the elevation device includes a restricting unit configured to restrict the scissors lift assembly from unfolding when the elevation device is separated from the drawer part. The drawer door includes a drawer part and a door part that is configured to, based on the drawer door being inserted into the storage chamber, close the storage chamber.

The present disclosure refers to a household refrigeration appliance and, more specifically, to a household refrigeration appliance with a multifunctional shelf. A multifunctional shelf arrangement is provided, including: a shelf comprising a frame that is physically associated to the walls of an internal box by shelf rails; the frame comprising lateral, front and rear portions, as well as at least one accessory physically associated to the shelf by accessory rails defining at least one track for displacement of the accessory. Specifically, in accordance with this disclosure, the frame comprises a plurality of receiving structures and the accessory rails comprise fitting projections which engage directly with the receiving structures of the frame, so that the attachment rails are removably fitted with the receiving structures.

The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator and a control method therefor. A refrigerator may include: a cabinet; a drawer provided to move in and out of the lower storage space and opening and closing the lower storage space; a lifting unit provided inside the drawer and elevated up and down; an opening/closing motor providing power for opening and closing the drawer; a lifting motor connected to the lifting unit and providing power for elevating the lifting unit; and a controller to reopen the drawer when the closing of the drawer is detected while the lifting unit is being elevated or the elevation of the lifting unit is completed.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet defining a storage chamber, a drawer door, a rail that slidably couples the drawer door to the cabinet, a driving device provided in the door part, an elevation device provided in the drawer part to vertically ascend or descend at least a portion of the drawer part, and an elevation detection device. The drawer door includes a drawer part configured to be inserted into and withdrawn out of the storage chamber and a door part coupled to the drawer part and configured to open and close the storage chamber. The driving device includes a motor assembly, a screw assembly having a screw and a screw holder, and a lever that couples the screw holder to the elevation device and is configured to be rotated based on the movement of the screw holder along the screw.

The present disclosure relates to a refrigerator and a control method therefor. A refrigerator may include: a cabinet; a drawer provided to move in and out of the lower storage space and opening and closing the lower storage space; a lifting unit provided inside the drawer and elevated up and down; an opening/closing motor providing power for opening and closing the drawer; a lifting motor connected to the lifting unit and providing power for elevating the lifting unit; and a controller to reopen the drawer when the closing of the drawer is detected while the lifting unit is being elevated or the elevation of the lifting unit is completed.

A refrigerator shelving system includes a first shelf, a first set of suspenders, a second set of suspenders, and a second shelf. The second shelf is rotatably secured to the second set of suspenders and slidably secured to the second set of suspenders. The second set of suspenders is rotatably secured to the first shelf. A back end of the second shelf is configured to rotate relative to the first set of suspenders, the second set of suspenders is configured to rotate relative to the first shelf, and a front end of the second shelf is configured to slide relative to the second set of suspenders during rotation of the second set of suspenders in order to transition the second shelf between an operational position and a stowed position.

A refrigerator includes a housing and a first partition portion. The housing includes a first storage chamber. The first partition portion is disposed in the first storage chamber and partitions the inside of the first storage chamber into at least a first storage portion and a second storage portion which is cooled to a temperature zone lower than that of the first storage portion. At least a part of the first partition portion is formed of a heat-insulating material containing an aerogel, a xerogel, or a cryogel.

The invention essentially consists in advantageously using and arranging at least one robot (8) relative to one or more storage recipients (4) and a transfer station (5) for transferring the containers to the unit in such a way as to take advantage of the flexibility of movement and grip offered by the arm or arms of the robot or robots and its/their gripping member, in order to automate all of the operations carried out manually by an operator in conventional biobanks.

A refrigerator includes a cabinet that defines a storage chamber, a heat exchange space that is defined by the cabinet and positioned rearward of the storage chamber, an evaporator unit that is provided at the heat exchange space, a grill fan assembly that provides a barrier between the heat exchange space and the storage chamber, a drawer door that is configured to be inserted into and withdrawn out of the storage chamber, a draw-out rail provided between an inner surface of the lower storage chamber and both lateral sides of the drawer door to guide a movement of the drawer door into and out of the storage chamber, and a lighting unit provided at a rear surface of the door part and configured to illuminate the drawer part and to guide air coming from the outlet of the grill fan assembly in a downward direction into the storage space.
