The invention features a refrigerator cabinet door frame. The frame includes a thermally conductive outer frame, a thermally insulating inner frame member, and a sealing plate. The outer frame member includes a forward end having an outer surface that is disposed outside of a refrigerated cabinet with the frame mounted, and a rearward end defining a joint. The inner frame member includes a first end retained in the joint, and a second end. The sealing plate includes a first edge coupled to the outer frame member at the rearward end, forward of the joint, a second edge supported by the second end of the inner frame member, and a thermally conductive sealing surface. The first edge of the sealing plate is coupled to the outer frame member such that the sealing surface and the outer surface of the outer frame member together form a continuous heat transfer path.

A refrigerator door body comprises a door body frame and a glass panel attached to a front side of the door body frame. The door body frame comprises sheet metal frames located on two sides, end covers located on upper and lower sides, and connecting assemblies connecting the sheet metal frames to the end covers. The end cover is provided with a side flange and a covering edge located on an outer side of the side flange. After the end covers and the sheet metal frames are assembled, the side flange is fitted to an inner side of the sheet metal frame, and the covering edge is fitted to an outer side of the sheet metal frame, thereby ensuring that an end portion of the sheet metal frame is not easily eroded by moisture.

A refrigerated vending system can conduct automatic purchase transactions. A refrigerated cooler has a refrigerated compartment with a door. An automatic lock selectively locks and unlocks the door, and a door sensor detects when the door closes. A three-dimensional imaging sensor inside the compartment captures a three-dimensional image of the merchandise. A vending transaction controller detects presentation of a method of payment, unlocks the door, determines from the door sensor that the door has been opened and closed, locks the door when it closes, actuates the three-dimensional imaging sensor to capture an updated three-dimensional image of the merchandise after the door closes, determines based on the updated image what refrigerated merchandise was removed while the door was open, and charges the method of payment for the refrigerated merchandise removed.

A display case includes multiple walls that define an inner volume, a door, a door actuator, a gesture sensor, and a controller. The door is transitionable between an open position for access to the inner volume and a closed position. The door actuator is configured to transition the door between the open position and the closed position. The gesture sensor is configured to detect a gesture performed by a user. The controller includes a processing circuit configured to obtain sensor data from the gesture sensor that indicates the gesture performed by the user. The processing circuit is further configured to determine if the user has performed a reference gesture using the sensor data. The processing circuit is further configured to operate the door actuator to transition the door between the open position and the closed position in response to determining that the user has performed the reference gesture.

Disclosed is a display module including a transparent display panel and a frame to fix a side of the transparent display panel, wherein the frame has a communication unit to receive data from the outside, a controller to process the received data and to output a drive command corresponding to the processed data and a display drive unit to drive the transparent display panel in response to the drive command from the controller. A display system includes a system body and a display module detachably mounted in the system body.

The invention discloses a freezer frame comprising a frame body, the frame body includes a low-temperature part and a heating part, and a panel installed in cooperation with the frame is provided on the heating part, characterized in that, a light source is provided on the low-temperature part, and a heat conduction channel is provided between the light source and the heating part. 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.

The present invention provides a door for a home appliance including a panel assembly including a front panel defining at least a portion of a front appearance of the door, a rear panel disposed behind the front panel, and a spacer disposed between a peripheral portion of the front panel and a peripheral portion of the rear panel so as to maintain a spacing between the front panel and the rear panel, a frame assembly for supporting the panel assembly, the frame assembly including a side frame disposed along a side surface of the door, the side frame contacting outside air, and a heat transfer structure for transferring heat of outside air from the side frame to an interior region defined between the front panel and the rear panel and between the spacer and a side end of the door, and a home appliance including the same.

The invention relates to a hinge (10) for a dispensing device (12), wherein the hinge (10) is substantially bar-shaped and/or tubular for fastening to a door (14) of the dispensing device (12), the hinge (10) having at least a main body (20) and an insertion rail (22) for the door arranged on the main body (20), wherein the door (14) is inserted in the assembled state in the insertion rail (22) and is held in the insertion rail (22), wherein at least one damping device (24) and at least one panic hinge device (26) are provided in the main body (20).

The task of the invention is to create a reliable manufacturable and also universally usable multi-pane doors of refrigerated cabinets while maintaining the required stability, which is simplified in design and additional functions can be provided or can be subsequently integrated without additional effort. In addition, the manufacturing process is to be simplified.

Insulating glass element for multi-pane doors with transparent edge seal for use in shop fitting, refrigerated cabinet construction and special showcase construction, wherein glass spacers (1) are arranged between a base plate (4) and a cover plate (4) in the vertical or longitudinal edge region of the door and glass spacers (1) in the upper horizontal or transverse edge region or aluminum or plastic spacers (2) in the lower or in both horizontal or transverse edge regions and aluminum or plastic spacers (2) are arranged between the base plate (4) and the spacers (1), 2) and between the spacers (1, 2) and cover plate (4) there is a lamination layer (3) in the form of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (3), wherein the laminating layer (3) is arranged at the four corner points from the horizontal spacers (2) to the vertical spacers (1) on abutment or overlapping, wherein the vertical or longitudinal glass spacers (1) are arranged between 0.5 and 1.5 mm from the pane edge of the base pane (4) and cover pane (4), are particularly preferably set back by 1 mm and the horizontal or transverse glass spacers (1) or aluminum or plastic spacers (2) are arranged between the vertical or longitudinal glass spacers (1) or respectively above or below the transverse ends of the vertical or longitudinal glass spacers (1).
