Refrigerator, water pipe adapting structure of refrigerator and water pipe adapting method

Abstract

The invention provides a water pipe adapting structure which is suitable for a refrigerator. The refrigerator has a housing forming the outer part of the refrigerator, a liner forming the inner part of the refrigerator and defining a storage space and a foaming layer formed between the housing and the liner. The water pipe adapting structure is connected to and communicates with a drain pipe arranged in the foaming layer and a water outlet penetrating through the liner; the water pipe adapting structure comprises a water pipe adapter which is formed by injection molding of an elastic material and is connected with the drain pipe integrally in advance through a hot melting process. Compared with the prior art, according to the water pipe adapting structure provided by the invention, the drain pipe which needs to be adapted to the water outlet is changed from a hard straight pipe to a hose, so that the adapting process is simplified and the sealing property is enhanced.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a refrigerator and a water pipe switching structure of the refrigerator, and also to a water pipe switching method suitable for a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] At present, in the production process of refrigerators, since the cabinet of the refrigerator needs to be foamed and molded, some internal structures need to be installed and fixed in advance before the foaming process, for example, the water pipeline of the refrigerator, especially the ice and / or water module The water pipeline involved in. [0003] In the ice and / or water module of a common refrigerator, the water delivery pipe is inserted into the water outlet that penetrates the inner container, so that drinking water can be directly output through the water delivery pipe. This requires accurate control of the length of the water delivery pipe extending out of the water outlet. Too short a length is not c...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

It relatively improves the transfer operation from the drain pipe to the water outlet, but since the drain pipe and the pipe are both hard water pipes, there are inevitably gaps at the interface between the two, so the foaming liquid is easy to seep in from the interface, resulting in drainage The problem of pipe being blocked occurs
