Refrigerator

Abstract

A refrigerator includes a water storage vessel configured to be mounted to the door of the refrigerator, a supply passage configured to connect the storage space of the water storage vessel to an ice making apparatus and dispenser to supply the water in the water storage vessel to the ice making apparatus and the dispenser, a valve installed at an intersection of the supply passage and configured to perform a passage conversion, and a pump configured to pump the water in the water storage vessel so that the water flows to the supply passage, wherein the water storage vessel is provided with a water storage vessel lever capable of changing the position of at least one portion of the supply passage so that the at least one portion of the supply passage is connected to / disconnected from a remaining portion of the supply passage.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a refrigerator having an ice making device or a dispenser, and more particularly, to a refrigerator configured to be supplied with water from a water storage container detachably attached to the refrigerator. Not receiving water from an external water supply while connected to a faucet. Background technique [0002] Generally, a refrigerator is an apparatus provided with a storage room for storing food and a cold air supply device for supplying cold air to the storage room to keep food fresh through a refrigeration cycle.

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, according to the above disclosure, in the case when the water supply container is to be mounted to the container connection part, a part of the second passage needs to be provided inside the water supply container through the inlet of the water supply container, and therefore, it may not be easy to perform the water supply container. Installation of supply containers

[0008] In addition, since the second passage passes through the injection hole of the water supply container, it may be difficult to inject water into the water supply container in a state when the water supply container is mounted on the container connection portion.

Therefore, in the case when it is necessary to inject water into the water supply container, it is necessary to inconveniently detach the water supply container from the container connection portion before injecting the water.
