The present disclosure provides cryogenic storage systems and methods of using the cryogenic storage systems. A cryogenic storage system of the present disclosure may comprise a cryogenic tank with an inner door and an outer door, and a robot apparatus located adjacent to the cryogenic tank. The cryogenic tank may store multiple racks such that at most a single rack is removable through the inner door or the outer door. The cryogenic tank may store the multiple racks in multiple groups of racks comprising a first group of racks located at a first radial distance and a second group of racks located at a second radial distance that is greater than the first radial distance. The robot apparatus may selectively open and close the inner or outer doors, and insert or withdraw the single rack into or out of the cryogenic tank through the inner door or the outer door.

A shelf for storing bottles in a wine cabinet has a rectangular frame bounded by two side beams and two crossbeams, respectively front and rear, and being equipped with individualized reception locations for a plurality of bottles. Each slot has a cradle for the neck of a bottle, the cradle being equipped with a sensor to detect the presence of a bottle neck. The front crossbeam of the shelf can include, for each individualized location, an electronic device to visualize the presence of a bottle.

A storage plate arrangement for installation in a household refrigeration appliance has a first storage plate and a second storage plate, which is separate from the first storage plate, and a carrier frame. The first storage plate and the second storage plate are arranged on the carrier frame. The carrier frame has a guiding arrangement and a storage plate can be displaced by the guiding arrangement relative to the carrier frame and to the other storage plate. The carrier frame is embodied as open when viewed in the peripheral direction. The carrier frame has a first side limb and an opposite-lying second side limb that is separate from the first side limb and the side limbs are connected to a connecting limb that is in turn separate from the side limbs. The connecting limb is a profile rail that is embodied from metal.

A shelf device and a storage cabinet. The shelf device comprises a shelf body (100); a support frame, the support frame comprising a lead screw (102) and a connecting support (104), the lead screw (102) being fixedly connected to the connecting support (104); a driving assembly, the driving assembly is connected to the shelf body (100), the driving assembly comprising a driving member (106) and a threaded sleeve (108), the driving member (106) being in power coupling connection with the threaded sleeve (108), and the threaded sleeve (108) being in threaded connection with the lead screw (102). The shelf device only needs to be provided with a lead screw (102), and multiple threaded sleeves (108) are sleeved thereon, and then the multiple threaded sleeves (108) are respectively connected to different shelf bodies (100), so that independent adjustment of the multiple shelf bodies (100) can be achieved.

The invention includes a storage system for storing items in a French door refrigerator that has a compartment and side-by-side doors meeting at a front midline of the refrigerator and enclosing the compartment. The refrigerator compartment includes a volume adjacent the front midline not swept by the doors or by any door receptacles. Embodiments of the system include one or more shelves sized to fit within the volume not swept by the doors and a support configured to attach to the compartment and to support the shelves.

A wine cabinet includes a cabinet body, a cabinet door, at least one slide rail, at least one shelf, and a protective cover. The cabinet body is provided with a storage compartment. The at least one slide rail is disposed in the storage compartment. The slide rail includes a first slide sub-rail and a second slide sub-rail. The first slide sub-rail is disposed on the cabinet body. The second slide sub-rail is slidable with respect to the first slide sub-rail. The second slide sub-rail includes a main body and at least one fixing member. The at least one shelf is detachably connected with the fixing member, so as to slide along with the second slide sub-rail. The protective cover is detachably disposed at a connecting position between the shelf and the slide rail.

For the purpose of improving a protective effect of a home appliance device, in particular a home appliance chiller device, is proposed comprising: a telescopic guiding unit, which is convertible at least from a fully contracted state to a fully extracted state and vice versa, and has at least one stationary guiding element; and comprising a cover unit, which at least mostly covers the stationary guiding element at least in the fully extracted state.

A refrigerator with a rack capable of dividing a storage compartment of the refrigerator in different division configurations. Guide rails are installed on the inner sidewalls of the storage compartment. The rack includes a plate member and support parts having a plurality of seating portions disposed in different heights from the plate member. Based on a preferred height of the plate member, a user can select a seating portion of the support parts to couple the rack to the guide rails. Further, the support parts are configured to couple the rack to the guide rail with the plate member facing down as well as facing up.

A shelf assembly for an appliance includes a shelf support operably coupled with a cabinet liner. First and second supports are positioned below the shelf support. The first and second supports are positioned on opposing sidewalls of the cabinet liner. A rear shelf portion is slidably supported on the shelf support between rearward and forward positions. A front shelf portion is positioned adjacent to the rear shelf portion and is movable between a raised position and a lowered position. A plurality of rotatable arms are configured to support the front shelf portion. Each rotatable arm of the plurality of rotatable arms is operably coupled with one of the first and second supports at a first end and is further operably coupled with the front shelf portion at a second end. A connecting arm interconnects the rear shelf portion and the front shelf portion.

In examples, a refrigeration system includes one or more cameras that are positioned to capture images of items before the items are positioned inside the cabinet. The refrigeration system can include one or more moveable racks on which items can be placed. When the rack is moved out, items can be placed on the rack, and the set of cameras can image the rack to determine information about the items placed on the rack.
