Abstract: The present invention provides a refrigerator, having a door (1), where one side of the door (1) is connected to a rotatable mullion bar (20), a cable (23, 33) is arranged inside the mullion bar (20), and the cable (23, 33) is connected to the inside of the door (1) by a cable-connecting part (32) between the mullion bar (20) and the door (1). According to the present invention, a shell forming the mullion bar (20) has a first accommodating part (31) that extends along a rotation axis (44) of the mullion bar, and the cable (23, 33) is at least partially received in the first accommodating part (30).

Abstract: A contents management method for an item in the refrigerator includes: receiving voice information input by a user when detecting that a refrigerator door is opened, where the voice information includes basic item change information corresponding to a change operation of the item in the refrigerator by a user; and identifying the voice information input by the user, performing pretreatment to generate complete item change information corresponding to the change operation of the item in the refrigerator by the user, and transmitting the complete item change information to a terminal. This enables the terminal to generate contents management information after the item in the refrigerator has been changed. By using the refrigerator, the terminal, and the management system and the management method for an item in the refrigerator, it can be more convenient to perform intelligent management on the item in the refrigerator.

Abstract: A plasma resonant cavity, including a cylindrical resonant cavity casing, cutoff waveguides, and a waveguide inlet circumferentially formed on the cylindrical resonant cavity casing. The cutoff waveguides are arranged at two ends of the cylindrical resonant cavity casing and employ a movable end cover structure. An intermediate through hole is formed on each cutoff waveguide with the movable end cover structure, and a raised round table is arranged on an inner end surface of the cutoff waveguide and configured with the resonant cavity.

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 refrigerator includes a refrigerator body defining at least one storage space, and a door connected to the refrigerator body for closing at least a part of the storage space. A dispenser is provided in the door and includes a dispenser casing which is supplied with heat by a first heater. A control unit automatically controls the on and off operation of the first heater. Arranged near the first heater is a second heater to optionally supply extra heat to the dispenser casing in a manually initiated auxiliary heating mode.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a dispenser provided in a door and having a dispenser casing, which is provided with a first region and a second region located close to the first region. The first region and the second region are adjacent to a heat insulating layer of the door. A first heater is arranged in the first region for supplying heat to the dispenser casing and a second heater is arranged in the second region for supplying heat to the dispenser casing, with the first heater and the second heater being controlled independently.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a refrigerator body defining at least one storage space and a door connected to the refrigerator body for closing at least a part of the storage space. The door includes a heat insulating layer. A dispenser is provided in the door and has a dispenser casing which is adjacent to the heat insulating layer. A heater is arranged at least adjacent to the inner side of the dispenser casing and a heat conducting element covers at least a part of the inner surface of the dispenser casing in facing relationship to the heat insulating layer. The heat conducting element is arranged at least adjacent to the heater for transmitting the heat generated by the heater to the dispenser casing.

Abstract: A refrigerator includes a freezing compartment and a door for selectively opening or closing at least a part of the freezing compartment The door includes a foam insulating layer and a sidewall contacting the foam insulating layer. A heater is installed correlative with the sidewall to supply heat to the sidewall.

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.
