Refrigerators and plumbing assemblies for refrigerators

Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator and a pipeline assembly used for the refrigerator. A pipeline assembly comprises a first liquid feeding pipe section, a second liquid feeding pipe section, and a sealing rotor, wherein the sealing rotor is pivotally arranged in the second liquid feeding pipe section; the upper surface of the sealing rotor is provided with a first plane and a second plane which are connected with each other; the first plane towers above the second plane; the lower surface of the sealing rotor is spherical; the sealing rotor is configured to a liquid inlet for sealing the first liquid feeding pipe section; when the liquid flows to the upper surface of the sealing rotor, liquid above the second plane is more than that above the first plane to promote the first plane to rotate upwards and the second plane to rotate downwards, so that the sealing of the liquid inlet of the first liquid feeding pipe section by the sealing rotor is eliminated. In addition, the invention also provides the refrigerator with the pipeline assembly. The pipeline assembly of the invention can realize automatic opening / closing of a water inlet or a water drainage hole; and because of a special structure of the sealing rotor, the phenomena of blockage or temporary blockage are avoided, the invalidation is difficult to occur, and the reliability is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigerated and frozen storage, in particular to a refrigerator and a pipe assembly used for the refrigerator. Background technique [0002] At present, many refrigerators have the functions of ice making and water storage. The ice making box and water storage box of the refrigerator are generally arranged in the storage space of the refrigerator. Take ice. [0003] In some existing technologies, in order to prevent foreign matter such as dust from entering the ice box or water storage box of the refrigerator from the entrance, a box cover is generally provided at the entrance of the ice box or water storage box, so that the box cover is opened when adding water. Close the lid when making ice or storing water. However, this lid needs to be opened and closed manually, which is inconvenient to operate. And the lid is easily lost after long-term use, causing inconvenience to the user. [0004] In addition, the re...

Problems solved by technology

However, the refrigerators in the prior art generally do not seal the drain pipes, so that the cold and hot air inside and outside the drains will convect when the refrigerator is working, which will increase the heat load of the refrigerator and increase the power consumption of the refrigerator.
