Refrigerators and plumbing assemblies for refrigerators

Abstract

The invention relates to a refrigerator and a pipeline component applied to the refrigerator. The pipeline component comprises a first liquid feeding pipe section, a second liquid feeding pipe section and a sealing rotor, wherein the sealing rotor can be pivotally arranged in the second liquid feeding pipe section; the upper surface of the sealing rotor comprises a first plane and a second plane which are connected; the first plane is higher than the second plane; the lower surface of the sealing rotor is spherical; the sealing rotor is configured to seal a liquid inlet of the fist liquid feeding pipe section; and when liquid flows to the upper surface of the sealing rotor, the liquid above the second plane is more than that above the first plane, the first plane rotates upwards and the second plane rotates downwards, so that the seal of the sealing rotor on the liquid inlet of the first liquid feeding pipe section is removed. In addition, the invention also provides a refrigerator provided with the pipeline component. The pipeline component disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the automatic open / close of a water inlet or a water outlet can be realized; the phenomenon of blocking or temporary blocking is prevented because of the special structure of the sealing rotor; and the pipeline component is difficult of efficacy losing and is high in reliability.

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.
