Kettle and refrigerator with same

Abstract

The invention provides a kettle and a refrigerator with the same. The kettle comprises a water storage space used for storing water, a water inlet used for delivering water to the water storage spaceand a water outlet used for drawing water from the water storage space; a pressure buffering module is arranged in the water storage space, and when the pressure in the water storage space is larger than or equal to a preset value, the size of the pressure buffering module becomes smaller; when the pressure in the water storage space is smaller than the preset value, the size of the pressure buffering module returns to normal. According to the kettle, the suddenly increased pressure in the water storage space is buffered, and then the wall and a pipeline of the water storage space are effectively protected.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a kettle and a refrigerator with the same. Background technique [0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, refrigerators with automatic ice-making functions are favored by more and more consumers. The ice making system is usually provided with a kettle for storing water, and the kettle can use the cold energy in the refrigerator to cool the water therein, and finally provide cold water for drinking to the user. Its structure is usually as figure 1 As shown, a water storage space 3 for storing water is provided inside the kettle, a water inlet 11 for delivering water to the water storage space 3, and a water outlet 12 for drawing water from the water storage space 3; the water inlet 11 is usually It is connected to the water delivery device through pipelines, and the water inlet 11 is usually provided with valves, water pumps and other...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In use, as the water continues to flow out from the water outlet 12, the amount of water in the kettle will gradually decrease. It is understandable that the pressure in the water storage space 3 will also decrease accordingly. After that, the water at the water inlet 11 The valve will be opened, and water will flow into the water storage space 3 from the water inlet 11. At this time, the pressure in the water storage space 3 will suddenly increase, and the pressure of the pipeline connected to the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12 will The pressure will also increase suddenly; when the water inlet 11 enters the water and the water outlet 12 leaves the water, if the user suddenly closes the water outlet switch of the water outlet 12, it may also cause the pressure in the water storage space 3 to increase suddenly, and it will be different from the inlet. The pressure of the pipeline connected to the water outlet 11 and the water outlet 12 will also suddenly increase; the sudden increase in the pressure of the water storage space 3 may cause damage to the wall of the water storage space 3, and may also cause damage to the water inlet 11 and the water outlet. 12 The pipelines connected to each other will cause damage, and it may also cause water droplets to flow out of the water outlet switch, resulting in damage to the water outlet switch; therefore, it is necessary to install a device that can buffer the pressure in the kettle
