[0021] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, these embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any structural, methodological, or functional changes made by a person skilled in the art based on these embodiments are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] It should be understood that the terms used herein, such as "upper", "lower", "inner", etc., indicating spatial relative positions are used for the purpose of convenience to describe the relationship of one component or feature relative to another component or feature as shown in the drawings. The spatial relative position terms may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0023] The present invention provides a refrigeration device, see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes a door body 1, a mounting cavity 2 arranged inside the door body, and a kettle 3 placed in the mounting cavity 2. A limiting structure 4 is provided between the kettle 3 and the mounting cavity 2, and the limiting structure 4 is used to limit the maximum distance that the kettle 3 protrudes out of the mounting cavity 2 in a direction away from the door body 1. When the user puts the kettle 3 back into the mounting cavity 2 but does not put it in place, the side of the kettle 3 away from the door body 1 will protrude out of the mounting cavity 2. By providing the limiting structure 4, the present invention can ensure that the center of gravity of the kettle 3 is always in the mounting cavity 2 when the user opens the door body 1 again, so as to avoid the kettle 3 moving in a direction away from the door body 1 due to the inertia force until the kettle 3 is out of the mounting cavity 2, resulting in the risk of the kettle 3 falling and injuring the user.

[0024] It can be understood that the refrigeration equipment can be a common refrigeration device such as a refrigerator or a freezer. The refrigeration equipment is provided with a refrigeration compartment. The door body 1 is the door body 1 of the refrigeration compartment. The refrigeration equipment also includes a box body of the refrigeration compartment. The door body 1 opens and closes the box body of the refrigeration compartment. The inner side of the door body 1 is the side of the door body 1 facing the box body.

[0025] It is understandable that, when the kettle 3 is in place, refer to Figure 2 As shown, the kettle 3 is completely placed in the installation cavity 2. When the kettle 3 is not placed in place, refer to Figure 3 As shown, the kettle 3 protrudes out of the mounting cavity 2 on the side away from the door body 1. Even if the center of gravity of the kettle 3 is located in the mounting cavity 2 at this time, when the user opens the door, the kettle 3 will slide in the direction away from the door body 1 driven by inertia. The present invention provides a limiting structure 4 between the kettle 3 and the mounting cavity 2 to limit the maximum distance that the kettle 3 protrudes out of the mounting cavity 2 in the direction away from the door body 1, thereby ensuring that the center of gravity of the kettle 3 is always in the mounting cavity 2, thereby preventing the kettle 3 from moving in the direction away from the door body 1 due to inertia until the kettle 3 is out of the mounting cavity 2, resulting in the risk of the kettle 3 falling and injuring the user.

[0026] Furthermore, a mounting seat 5 is provided on the door body 1, and the mounting cavity 2 is formed by the mounting seat 5 and the inner side of the door body; the limiting structure 4 includes a convex rib 41 protruding outward from the bottom wall of the kettle 3, and a boss 42 provided on the side of the mounting seat 5 away from the door body 1. If the kettle 3 is not placed properly, when the user opens the door next time, the convex rib 41 can abut against the boss 42, thereby limiting the maximum distance that the kettle 3 protrudes out of the mounting cavity 2 in the direction away from the door body 1, and preventing the kettle 3 from moving away from the door body 1 due to inertia and leaving the mounting cavity 2, resulting in the risk of the kettle 3 falling and injuring the user.

[0027] It is understandable that the mounting seat 5 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the door body 1, and during the opening and closing process of the door body 1, the mounting seat 5 moves synchronously with the door body 1. When the kettle 3 is not placed properly, the side of the kettle 3 away from the door body 1 protrudes out of the mounting seat 5, and the bottom wall of the kettle 3 forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane. However, since the convex rib 41 of the bottom wall of the kettle 3 abuts against the boss 42 on the mounting seat 5, the distance that the kettle 3 moves away from the door body 1 can be limited, so that when the door body 1 is opened again, the center of gravity of the kettle 3 is always in the mounting seat 5, thereby avoiding the risk of the kettle 3 falling and injuring the user.

[0028] Specifically, the kettle 3 includes a kettle body 31 and a handle 32 disposed on one side of the kettle body 31; the convex rib 41 is disposed on the bottom wall of the kettle body 31 and is located between the middle of the bottom wall and the edge of the bottom wall near the handle 32, so that when the convex rib 41 and the boss 42 are in contact, the center of gravity of the kettle 3 is located in the mounting seat 5, and the kettle 3 will not be separated from the mounting cavity 2 due to external force. It can be understood that the handle 32 is connected to the side wall of the kettle body 31, and when the kettle 3 is placed in the mounting cavity 2, the handle 32 of the kettle 3 is located on the side of the kettle body 31 away from the door body 1, which is more convenient for users to take and put water.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, the convex rib 41 includes a guide section 411 away from the handle side and a stop section 412 close to the handle 32 side; specifically, the height of the guide section 411 gradually increases in the direction close to the handle 32, so that the guide section 411 forms a wedge-shaped structure, so that when the user places the kettle 3, it is convenient to push the kettle 3 into the mounting seat 5. In the direction close to the handle 32, the stop section 412 has a preset height and the height remains unchanged, and the end of the stop section 412 facing the handle 32 is perpendicular to the bottom wall of the kettle body 31, so that when the convex rib 41 abuts against the boss 42, the end of the stop section 412 facing the handle 32 abuts against the boss 42 to prevent the kettle 3 from sliding out of the mounting seat 5.

[0030] Furthermore, a pair of convex ribs 41 are provided on the bottom wall of the pot body 31, and each convex rib 41 is close to the junction of the bottom wall and the side wall of the pot body 31. This reduces the resisting force borne by a single convex rib 41 and improves the reliability of the limiting structure 4.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the kettle 3 is also provided with a convex support rib 6, which is arranged near the connection between the bottom wall and the side wall of the kettle body 31. When the kettle 3 is placed in place, the support rib 6 abuts against the mounting surface 51 on the mounting seat 5, which plays a role in supporting the kettle 3 and ensuring that the kettle 3 is placed stably on the mounting seat 5. It is understandable that a plurality of support ribs 6 can be arranged on the bottom wall of the kettle 3, for example, two support ribs 6 are arranged on the bottom wall of the kettle body 31 away from the handle 32, and one support rib 6 is arranged near the handle 32, and the three support ribs 6 are located on the same horizontal plane. It is understandable that when the kettle 3 is not placed in place, only the two support ribs 6 away from the handle 32 abut against the mounting surface 51, and the other support is located outside the mounting seat 5.

[0032] Further, along the vertical direction, see Figure 5 As shown, the support rib 6 has the same height as the convex rib 41 , so that the convex rib 41 also serves as the support rib 6 , thereby reducing the gravity of the kettle 3 on the single support rib 6 .

[0033] Furthermore, the kettle 3 also includes a kettle cover 33, the kettle cover 33 is provided with a guide portion 7, and the inner side of the door body is provided with a guide groove 8 that cooperates with the guide portion 7. When the kettle 3 is put back into the installation cavity 2 inside the door body after taking water out, the guide portion 7 and the guide groove 8 of the kettle cover 33 cooperate to guide the kettle 3 to be placed in the correct position.

[0034] Specifically, see Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the guide portion 7 is a convex ridge protruding from the top wall of the pot cover 33; an automatic water injection mechanism 9 is provided on the inner side of the door body, and the bottom of the automatic water injection mechanism 9 forms the guide groove 8. It can be understood that the automatic water injection mechanism 9 is located on the upper part of the mounting seat 5, and the mounting cavity 2 is formed by the bottom of the automatic water injection mechanism 9, the inner side of the door body and the mounting seat 5. In the present invention, when the kettle 3 is placed in place, the kettle 3 is located in the mounting cavity 2 as a whole, and the guide portion 7 is located in the guide groove 8 in whole or in part. When the kettle 3 is not placed in place, the side of the kettle 3 close to the handle 32 is located outside the mounting cavity 2. When the kettle 3 protrudes out of the installation cavity 2 to the maximum distance in the direction away from the door body 1, when the rib 41 abuts against the boss 42, at least part of the guide portion 7 is located in the guide groove 8, so that when the door body 1 is opened and closed, the kettle 3 is subjected to unbalanced force and flips toward the side away from the door body 1, and the kettle cover 33 and the kettle body 31 are limited by the automatic water injection mechanism 9 forming the guide groove 8 and cannot flip, thereby avoiding the risk of the kettle 3 falling when opening and closing the door and injuring the user.

[0035] Furthermore, the kettle 3 also includes a spout 34 connected to the interior, and the automatic water filling mechanism 9 is provided with a water outlet pipe connected to the spout 34. The automatic water filling mechanism 9 can automatically flow purified water into the kettle body 31, thereby improving the user experience.

[0036] Furthermore, the kettle 3 may be provided with a switch assembly 10 connected to the interior, so that the user does not need to remove the kettle 3 from the installation cavity 2 when taking a small amount of water, which greatly increases the convenience of use for the user.

[0037] The door body of the refrigeration device of the present invention is provided with a mounting cavity 2 for placing the kettle 3. When the user puts the kettle 3 back into the mounting cavity 2 but fails to place it in place, the side of the kettle 3 away from the door body 1 will protrude out of the mounting cavity 2. The present invention provides a limiting structure 4 to ensure that the center of gravity of the kettle 3 is always in the mounting cavity 2 when the user opens the door body 1 again, thereby preventing the kettle 3 from moving away from the door body 1 due to inertia force until the kettle 3 is out of the mounting cavity 2, resulting in the risk of the kettle 3 falling and injuring the user.
