A refrigeration appliance has a storage box with an open upper end. First and second hanging pins are disposed on a cover plate. The first hanging pin is hung in a first hanger loop and is movable in a front-rear direction and/or an up-down direction in the first hanger loop. The second hanging pin is hung in a second hanger loop and is movable in the front-rear direction and/or the up-down direction in the second hanger loop. The cover plate is movable in the front-rear direction and/or the up-down direction relative to the storage box to at least partially open and close the storage box. The first hanger loop includes an open section that enables the first hanging pin to enter the first hanger loop from the open section and the cover plate of the refrigeration appliance is thereby easy to install.

Provided is a refrigerator, including a freezer compartment, a refrigeration compartment, a drying compartment, an air intake channel, a first sealing apparatus, and a second sealing apparatus. The drying compartment is independently provided within the refrigeration compartment in a sealed manner. The drying compartment is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The first sealing apparatus is provided in the drying compartment and can switch between sealing an air outlet of the air intake channel and leaving the air outlet of the air intake channel open. The second sealing apparatus is provided at the air outlet and can switch between sealing the air outlet and leaving the air outlet open. Cooled air in the freezer compartment is introduced into the drying compartment and then mixed with air in the drying compartment, a rise in the temperature of the cooled air allows the relative humidity in the drying compartment to be reduced.

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.

The present invention relates to a refrigerator controlling freshness on the basis of context awareness and artificial intelligence, a server, a portable device, and a method for controlling freshness. The refrigerator controlling freshness on the basis of context awareness, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: one or more partitioned storage spaces; one or more freshness sensors for sensing the freshness in an outside area or the storage spaces; a communication unit for receiving operation instruction information from the server or the portable device, and transmitting, to the server or the portable device, freshness condition information generated by the freshness sensors; and a control unit for controlling the freshness sensors and the communication unit, and performing a freshness control operation according to operation instruction information instructing an operation that differs from pre-set operating condition information that is set for any one or more of the storage spaces.

A meat aging chamber suitable for residential or portable use is provided. An aging apparatus comprises a refrigerated aging cabinet having a climate created by environmental apparatus. A server in a cloud resource communicates with a control circuit in the aging apparatus and with a portable interactive device. In a setup mode the portable interactive device communicates with a control circuit in the aging apparatus via a communications interface to identify the user to the control circuit. In an operating mode the communications interface enables communication between the cloud resource and the control circuit. A sensor module provides current values to the cloud resource for controlling operation in accordance with a software program embodying the aging protocol. The cloud resource can inform the smartphone of aging progress and alarm conditions. Physical features enable embodying the functions of a commercial aging chamber in a residential sized unit.

A household appliance includes a body or a carcass and a closing element, such as a door or a drawer, which is movably disposed on the body. A sensor unit is provided for measuring the temperature and/or the humidity. The sensor unit is at least partly disposed on the closing element.

A refrigerator includes a first cooler; a freezer compartment an inside of which is cooled by circulation of cooled air subjected to heat exchange by the first cooler; and a refrigerator compartment cooled by direct-cooling, using a cooling plate, wherein the cooled air subjected to heat exchange by the first cooler is to be supplied to the refrigerator compartment.

A refrigerating and freezing device, the refrigerating and freezing device including: a casing, including an inner container, a housing, and a heat preservation layer, wherein a storage space is disposed in the inner container, a storage container is disposed in the storage space, and the storage container has a controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping space therein; and a controlled atmosphere membrane component, configured to allow more oxygen gas in an airflow in a space around the controlled atmosphere membrane component than nitrogen gas in the airflow in the space around the controlled atmosphere membrane component to pass through a controlled atmosphere membrane to enter an oxygen gas-enriched collecting cavity. The storage space is composed of a top cover and a bottom box, a lower surface of the top cover is provided with a concave cavity, and the controlled atmosphere membrane component is disposed in the concave cavity.

A moisture detector includes a sensor chip and a moisture determining unit. The sensor chip includes a humidity detector having a detection surface on which to measure humidity, and also includes a heater heating the detection surface, and the moisture determining unit is configured to, after causing the heater to start heating, determine whether moisture is present on the detection surface based on a difference in changes in the humidity measured by the humidity detector.

Systems and methods for storing a perishable object are provided. An example system comprises an enclosure body forming a cavity and a lid which removably engages with at least a portion of the enclosure body to form a chamber enclosing a perishable object. The system also comprises a thermal insulator disposed within the cavity, a temperature control system disposed within the cavity to adjust a temperature of the environment based on a target temperature range associated with the perishable object, a humidity control system disposed within the cavity, the humidifying system comprising a heating element in contact with a liquid to adjust a humidity of the environment based on a target humidity range associated with the perishable object.
