To configure existing drawers as evacuable drawers of a vacuum drawer device, a cover for installation in the drawer body can be used. The cover evacuates at the drawer interior with an evacuation system, so that the interior is evacuated when the drawer is closed and ventilated before the drawer is opened. The cover is airtight, is profiled in such that evacuation with a controller, a pump and a valve are fixedly integrated in at least one recess in the cover and the cover has at least one air channel leading into the inside of the cover or, respectively, into the at least one recess, with the air channel operatively connected to the evacuation system such that when the cover is placed onto the drawer, air from the interior can be pumped out of the interior, the inside of the cover interior or, respectively, the at least one recess through the air duct.

A drying chamber assembly and a refrigerator are provided. The drying chamber assembly consists of a drawer-type sealing container which includes a drawer body, a drawer door and a drawer upper cover. The drawer body has an upward top opening. The drawer door is disposed at a front end of the drawer body and configured to push and pull the drawer body. The drawer upper cover is disposed above the drawer body to seal the top opening when the drawer body is completely pushed into the storage compartment and defines a drying space together with the drawer body and the drawer door. An airflow inlet is formed in the drawer body and configured to supply an airflow to the drying space. The drying chamber assembly directly covers and seals the top opening of the drawer body through the drawer upper cover.

A refrigerator is proposed. As a front frame part for a front surface exterior is additionally installed on a front side of an outer casing, the refrigerator is provided with a beautiful appearance formed on the front surface of the outer casing.

A storage container includes a container body having a storage space defined therein; and a container cover coupled to one side of the container body to open and close the storage space, wherein the container body includes: an inner layer forming an inner face of the container body defining the inner space; and an outer layer bonded to the inner layer and forming an outer face of the container body. The inner layer is made of titanium first material, and the outer layer is made of aluminum second material.

An improved portable cooler can be configured to provide access to its contents from multiple orientations while reducing the likelihood of water spillage or contamination. The improved portable cooler may optionally include one or more sliding compartments to allow access to the contents of the portable cooler when the cooler is arranged in any of a horizontal or vertical orientation.

The present invention relates to a drawer assembly and a refrigerating and freezing device with the drawer assembly. The drawer assembly comprises a cartridge defined a drawing space and a modified atmosphere film assembly, an accommodating cavity is defined in a top wall of the cartridge, the accommodating cavity is communicated with the drawer space; the modified atmosphere film assembly is mounted in the accommodating cavity, and the modified atmosphere film assembly is provided with a modified atmosphere film and an oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity, so that when the pressure of the oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity is less than the pressure of the accommodating cavity, oxygen in air of the accommodating cavity penetrates the modified atmosphere film to the oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity, so as to obtain a gas atmosphere with rich nitrogen and lean oxygen, facilitating for fresh keeping of foods.

A refrigerator drawer assembly, comprising: a drawer body, the drawer body comprising a front wall and a rear wall arranged opposite to each other along the pulling direction thereof, and defining an accommodating cavity used for placing articles, wherein the front wall is provided with two first sliding grooves extending along the horizontal direction and running along the thickness direction thereof, and the rear wall is provided with two second sliding grooves aligned with the two first sliding grooves; and two sliding partition assemblies, wherein two ends of each sliding partition assembly are inserted into a set of a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove that are aligned, and the two sliding partition assemblies are configured to be able to slide along the first sliding grooves and the second sliding grooves and are capable of sliding to a fitted state. The drawer assembly may achieve two-chamber separation and three-chamber separation of the drawer body, thereby effectively improving the user experience.

Household appliance (2), comprising a casing (4) defining an inner compartment (10) in which a crisper (30) is arranged, whereby said crisper (30) comprises a frontal part (32) and further comprises a permeable membrane (70) allowing contact from an inner space of said crisper (30) to an atmosphere outside of said crisper (30), whereby said membrane (70) is arranged on said frontal part (32), whereby a handle (58) is provided at said frontal part (32), whereby said handle (58) and said membrane (70) are dimensioned and arranged in such a way that said membrane (70) is at least partially covered from view by said handle (58) in a frontal direction (72) towards said crisper (30).

A method for monitoring a drawer interior of a vacuum drawer device when the lid is supported by the drawer airtight and closed, includes: periodic measurement of the relative humidity with a humidity sensor arranged in the path of a dehumidifying channel in the lid or, respectively, the drawer interior; comparison of the measured relative humidity with an upper threshold; and as soon as the measured relative humidity is above the upper threshold, opening the valve and inducting a ventilator arranged in a recess or in the path of a dehumidifying channel in the lid. Fresh air is sucked through an air inlet opening, circulated, and thereafter released again from the dehumidifying channel and the drawer interior communicating therewith, until the relative humidity reaches a lower threshold measured by the humidity sensor. Then the valve is closed, the ventilator is stopped, and the controller switches into the humidity monitoring mode.

A self-close drawer mechanism includes a housing, a slidable self-close latch selectively positionable within the housing, a rotatable cam element in the housing, a flexible link system extending around the cam element, and a spring applying stored force to the sliding self-close latch through the flexible link. Dual cam surfaces in the cam elements realize a decreasing pull force as the user opens the drawer and provides smoother opening and closing operations with an improved user experience.
