Abstract: An ice dispenser for a refrigerator is provided. The ice dispenser includes an ice storage container housing and an ice generator having a hollow mold which is filled with water. The ice storage container housing and the ice generator are combined into one modular unit.

Abstract: A dispenser niche for a refrigerator is provided. The dispenser niche includes an illuminator to at least partially illuminate the niche. The illuminator has LEDs that are arranged on a common circuit board with first electrical contacts. A wall of the dispenser niche has second electrical contacts and a recess that receives the common circuit board in a single orientation. The first electrical contacts of the common circuit board and the second electrical circuits of the wall touch each other in the single orientation.

Abstract: A cooling appliance (100) is provided, including a heat insulation cabinet (10), in which a storage chamber is formed; and a door (11), which cooperates with the heat insulation cabinet (10) to selectively open or close the storage chamber. The cooling appliance (100) further includes an dispenser system (20) capable of allocating ice and liquid, where the dispenser system (20) is used for allocating ice in an ice storage container of the cooling appliance (100) into an dispenser cavity (21). The dispenser system (20) includes an ice channel (40) and a splash-proof component (30), where the splash-proof component (30) includes a buffering part, so as to be used for absorbing at least one part of kinetic energy of ice when the ice passes through, to reduce spreading and splashing of the ice.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a platform of integrating a heterogeneous workgroup collaborative design system and a PLM system, which is suitable for collaborative design of a large complex product, realizes integration of heterogeneous 3D CAD collaborative design system and PDM system, guarantees consistency of parameter and state between 3D CAD data and PDM data, and facilitates automatic circulation of design data from a product R&D platform to a manufacture executing platform. It implements integration of Pro/E-Intralink and SAP-PLM, transmits the product R&D data in the Pro/E-Intralink to the SAP-PLM, creating or changing corresponding material, voucher, and EBOM, realizes review and re-sign of document, associates the data object with the design project PS or change object, and meanwhile automatically transmits back its property and state to the Pro/E-Intralink, thereby realizing automatic circulation of the R&D data from the Pro/E-Intralink to PDM-ERP.

Abstract: A refrigerator having an ice-cube maker is provided. The refrigerator includes a collection container to collect the pieces of ice produced by the ice-cube maker. The collection container has a panel and is removable from the refrigerator. The refrigerator further includes an ice-cube production apparatus associated with the collection container and a cover which blocks access, at a front side, to the ice-cube production apparatus. The cover is rearwardly offset in relation to the panel of the collection container.
