Embodiment Construction

[0018] Such as figure 2 As shown, in the present invention, the water tank 20 for supplying water to the dispenser is installed directly inside the door 10 of the refrigerator. When the refrigerator is a double-door refrigerator, the above-mentioned door 10 is preferably a freezer door 10 .

[0019] One side of the front 12 of the above-mentioned door 10 forms an inwardly recessed dispenser 16, and this dispenser 16 is used for receiving water, ice cubes and the like. The space between the front 12 and the back (door liner) 14 of the door 10 is filled with foam insulation materials, which can minimize the heat conduction between the interior and exterior of the refrigerator.

[0020] In the present invention, the water tank 20 is installed between the front face 12 and the back face 14 of the door 10, and is actually buried in the foam heat insulating material. Here, even if the water tank 20 is buried inside the door 10, it needs to be sufficiently cooled by the cold air i...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a water tank for refrigerators. A refrigerator is provided with a freezing chamber door, and a distributor is arranged on the front face of the freezing chamber door and is used for taking and using water supplied by the water tank. The water tank comprises a main body part, a neck part of the water tank and an outlet, wherein the main body part is used for storing water, and the neck part of the water tank is formed at the upper part of the main body part and is communicated with the main body part. The section area of the neck part of the water tank is smaller than that of the main body part. The outlet is communicated with the neck part of the water tank and is used for supplying water for the distributor. The section area of the outlet is smaller than that of the main body part and that of the neck part of the water tank. The present invention can supply cold water and can prevent the water from flowing out of the outlet because of swing generated by the opening or the closing of the door provided with the water tank. The invention discloses a refrigerator water pot, which comprises the following parts: body part, water pot neck and outlet, wherein the body part stores the water; the water pot neck is forms on the body part and connects the body part, whose sectional area is smaller than the body part's; the outlet connects the water pot neck to supply water to the distributor, whose sectional area is smaller than the water pot neck and the body part's; the distributor is fixed in front of the freezing chamber door to fetch the water from water pot. The invention can supply cold water, which prevents the overflow from outlet due to vibration when switching the door.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a refrigerator water tank. Background technique [0002] Below to figure 1 The shown refrigerator is taken as an example to illustrate its structure. Recently, large-scale refrigerators that are on the market generally have a structure in which water stored inside the refrigerator can be taken from the outside without opening the refrigerator door. As shown in the figure, the water flowing from the water supply source is divided into two by the action of valve 2 and flows into the interior of the refrigerator. A part of the water flowing out from the valve 2 will flow to the ice maker (not shown in the figure), and the other part will flow to the water tank 4 . [0003] Above-mentioned water tank 4 is connected with distributor 6 that is installed in front of refrigerator door by water pipe (tube) 8, so if receive water by above-mentioned distributor 6, water just can flow out from water tank 4 so. In a common refrigerator,...
