  • Publication number: 20240353155
    Abstract: A magnetic field freshness-preserving storage container and a refrigerator. The magnetic field freshness-preserving storage container includes a storage box, two uniform magnetization plates, and two sets of electromagnetic components. Each set of electromagnetic components is arranged corresponding to one uniform magnetization plate and forms an electromagnetic field after being electrified. The magnetic field distribution of the electromagnetic field can be changed by means of the uniform magnetization plates, such that the electromagnetic field is distributed more uniformly in the storage space. Since the electromagnetic field is distributed more uniformly in the storage space, stored objects can have the same storage quality. In addition, the uniform magnetization plates can save on the consumption of magnetic materials.

  • Publication number: 20240318903
    Abstract: Disclosed are a heating method and a refrigerating and freezing apparatus (200) having a heating unit (100). The heating method comprises: controlling a heating unit (100) to operate to heat an object to be processed (150); if a heating suspension condition is met, recording a current heating parameter of the heating unit (100), and controlling the heating unit (100) to stop operating; and if a heating continuation condition is met, controlling the heating unit (100) to continue operating according to the recorded heating parameter. By means of recording the most recent heating parameter before the heating unit (100) stops heating, heating continues according to the recorded heating parameter after heating is resumed, thereby simplifying a control process, preventing a re-determined heating parameter from causing an object to be processed (150) to be excessively heated, shortening a heating time, and reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

  • Publication number: 20240288210
    Abstract: A refrigeration system and a refrigerating appliance. The refrigeration system includes: a refrigeration assembly including a compressor, and an evaporator, forming a refrigeration circuit; and a defrost bypass pipeline connected to the refrigeration circuit for circulating refrigerant from the compressor to generate heat; the defrost bypass pipeline is thermally connected with the evaporator to heat the evaporator. By adding a defrost bypass pipeline connected to the refrigeration circuit and thermally connecting it with the evaporator, the evaporator can be heated for defrosting when the refrigerant from the compressor flows through the defrost bypass pipeline. Since the refrigerant from the compressor can produce a significant amount of heat when passing through the defrost bypass pipeline, this manner of defrosting can enhance the defrosting rate of the evaporator and enable quick, efficient, and thorough defrosting.
