摘要: A linear compressor(300) or sealed system may include a casing(308), a piston(316), an driving coil(366), an inner back iron assembly(352), and a planar spring assembly (500). The casing(308) may include a cylinder assembly (310)defining a chamber(312) along an axial direction. The piston(316) may be slidably received within the chamber(312) of the cylinder assembly(310). The inner back iron assembly(352) may be positioned in the driving coil(366). The planar spring assembly(500) may be mounted to the inner back iron assembly(352). The planar spring assembly(500) may include a first planar spring(510), a second planar spring(510) axially spaced apart from the first planar spring(510), and a polymer shim layer(540A, 540B) disposed between at least a portion of the first planar spring (510) and the second planar spring (510) . The linear compressor (300) provided with the polymer shim layer (540A, 540B) can reduce or mitigate the effects of fretting fatigue at the planar spring assembly (500).

摘要: An indoor garden electric appliance (100) and an operating method therefor. The garden electric appliance (100) comprises an inner container (120) which defines a growth chamber (122) and a growth module (200) which is rotatably installed in the growth chamber (122) and defines a root chamber (244). A water replenishment system (270) is in fluid communication with the root chamber (244) and used for selectively carrying out a water replenishment cycle. The root chamber (244) is filled with mist, and an air circulation system (300) selectively drives an airflow (302) to pass through the root chamber (244) to maintain a desired temperature. A controller (174) is configured to stop the airflow (302) during the water replenishment cycle based on the start/end time of the water replenishment cycle or on the moisture level measured by an optical sensor (344).

摘要: A refrigerator (100) and an ice maker (160) therefore are provided. The ice maker (160) includes a mold body (170). A plurality of mold cavities (200) are defined in the mold body (170). Each mold cavity (200) extends between a floor (202) and an opening (206) along a longitudinal axis (A). Each mold cavity (200) is enclosed by at least one sidewall between the floor (202) and the opening (206). The longitudinal axis (A) of each mold cavity (200) is oriented generally along the vertical direction (VI). The ice maker (160) also includes a heater (182) in thermal communication with the floor (202) of each mold cavity (200) of the plurality of mold cavities (200). The heater (182) is configured to maintain water within a lower portion (207) of each mold cavity (200) in a liquid state. The ice maker (160) further includes a drain conduit (214) in fluid communication with the mold body (170) and configured to receive a flow of liquid water from the mold cavities (200).

摘要: A refrigerator appliance includes a fresh food working fluid circuit that couples a hot side heat exchanger, a fresh food cold side heat exchanger and a fresh food regenerator. A first pair of diverter valves and a hot side reservoir are coupled to the fresh food working fluid circuit. The hot side reservoir is positioned below one or both of the first pair of diverter valves. A freezer working fluid circuit couples a freezer cold side heat exchanger and a freezer regenerator. A second pair of diverter valves and a fresh food cold side reservoir are coupled to the freezer working fluid circuit. The fresh food cold side reservoir is positioned below one or both of the second pair of diverter valves. A liquid-liquid heat exchanger is also coupled to the fresh food working fluid circuit.
