A door for a home appliance, a home appliance, and a method for manufacturing the same, are disclosed. The door for a home appliance comprises a panel assembly; and a frame assembly defining a predetermined space having an opening connected with an edge of the panel assembly, and making a foaming space for receiving a thermal insulator by means of the predetermined space of the frame assembly and the edge of the panel assembly, wherein a foaming injection hole through which the thermal insulator is injected is provided on at least one of ends of an upper surface, a lower surface, a left side and a right side of the frame assembly.

Door for home appliance, home appliance, and method for manufacturing the same

An apparatus for cultivating plants may include a cabinet forming a space in which plants may be cultivated; a door connected to the cabinet to open or close the space; at least one bed disposed in the space; at least one seed package separably seated on the at least one bed and having a medium including seeds of plants and nutrient solution; and a light assembly to radiate light to the at least one seed package disposed on the at least one bed. The at least one bed may include an upper bed on which the at least one seed package may be seated and a bottom bed on which the upper bed may be seated and that forms a water collecting portion that stores water, and the at least one seed package may be supplied with the water stored in the water collecting portion.

Apparatus for cultivating plants

A refrigerator that includes: a storage space configured to be cooled by a refrigeration cycle cooling system; a wall defines a boundary of the storage space; a low temperature case that is arranged adjacent to a portion of a first surface of the wall; a thermoelectric element module (TEM) assembly that is configured to supply cool air to the low temperature case; and a TEM accommodating part that protrudes from the first surface of the wall and that accommodates the TEM assembly, wherein the low temperature case includes an opening through which the TEM accommodating part is inserted, and wherein a sealant is provided between the low temperature case and the wall to couple the low temperature case to the first surface of the wall is disclosed.

Refrigerator having very low temperature freezer compartment

A refrigerator includes a storage space, a freezing chamber defining an insulating space configured to maintain a chamber temperature independent from the storage space, an evaporator in the storage space, a grille panel assembly that defines an evaporator space configured to accommodate the evaporator and at least a portion of the storage space, a thermoelectric element assembly including a thermoelectric element, a heat sink, and a cold sink to cool the freezing chamber to a temperature less than the temperature of the storage space, a module accommodation portion located at a side of the grille panel assembly, a defrost water guide that communicates with the module accommodation portion and the evaporator space and that is configured to discharge defrost water generated during a defrost operation of the freezing chamber, and a defrost heater located in the module accommodation portion and configured to melt ice during the defrost operation.

Refrigerator

Disclosed is a refrigerator, more particularly a refrigerator including dual doors that are convenient to use. The refrigerator includes a main body having a storage space therein, a first door hinged to the main body for opening and closing the storage space, a door frame provided at the first door, a second door hinged to the first door, the second door having a side wall, at least a portion of which is inserted into the door frame, and a catching part provided in the side wall, and a locking device for selectively allowing the second door to be turned with respect to the first door, wherein the locking device includes a moving member, the displacement of which is changed depending on the open or closed state of the first door, and a catching member, the displacement of which is changed depending on the displacement of the moving member, whereby the protruding length of the catching member from the door frame is changed, the catching member being selectively caught in the catching part.

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.

Door for home appliance and home appliance having the same

A refrigerator includes a body defining a storage compartment therein, a first door hingedly provided at the body so as to open and close the storage compartment, the first door including a door frame having a hinge hole formed therein, and a second door hingedly provided at the first door by means of a hinge, the second door including a lateral side surface, the lateral side surface being at least partially fitted into the door frame, wherein the hinge includes a hinge shaft disposed in the first door so as to define a rotational center of the second door, a hinge bracket coupled to the second door, and an indented member provided between the hinge shaft and the hinge bracket, the indented member being moved through the hinge hole so as to allow the entire second door to escape from the door frame when the second door is opened.

A refrigerator includes a storage space, an evaporator located inside of the storage space, a grille panel assembly that partitions the storage space to separate an evaporator space, a cryogenic freezing compartment that defines an insulation space within the storage space that maintains a temperature of the insulation space less than a temperature of the storage space, and a thermoelectric module assembly located at the grille panel and configured to supply cold air to the cryogenic freezing compartment. The thermoelectric module assembly includes a thermoelectric module having a heat absorption surface and a heat generation surface, a cold sink configured to contact the heat absorption surface and located in the cryogenic freezing compartment, a heat sink configured to contact the heat generation surface and located in the evaporator space, and an insulation frame that receives the thermoelectric module and that thermally insulates the cold sink from the heat sink.

Refrigerator including cryogenic freezing compartment

A refrigerator includes a storage space, a freezing chamber defining an insulating space configured to maintain a chamber temperature independent from the storage space, an evaporator in the storage space, a grill pan assembly that defines an evaporator space configured to accommodate the evaporator and at least a portion of the storage space, a thermoelectric element assembly including a thermoelectric element, a heat sink, and a cold sink to cool the freezing chamber to a temperature less than the temperature of the storage space, a module accommodation portion located at a side of the grill pan assembly, a defrost water guide that communicates with the module accommodation portion and the evaporator space and that is configured to discharge defrost water generated during a defrost operation of the freezing chamber, and a defrost heater located in the module accommodation portion and configured to melt ice during the defrost operation.
