[0056] A water dispenser 130, wherein the water dispenser 130 is disposed on the door body 120; wherein the water dispenser 130 comprises a water inlet 131, and the water inlet 131 is disposed on the outer side of the door body 120;
[0057] a water receiving box 140, the water receiving box 140 is provided on the door body 120, located at the lower side of the water intake port 131, and is used to receive water released from the water intake port 131; and
[0058] The refrigerated liner 150 is arranged in the accommodating cavity. The refrigerated liner 150 is provided with a water storage structure 151, and the water storage structure 151 has an opening opened toward the inside of the refrigerated liner 150; the water receiving box 140 is connected to the water storage structure 151 through a water inlet pipe assembly 160.
[0059] In the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, the refrigerated inner tank 150 is arranged in the accommodating cavity of the box body 110, and the door body 120 is movably arranged on the box body 110 for opening or closing the accommodating cavity; a water dispenser 130 is arranged on the door body 120, and a water inlet 131 of the water dispenser 130 is located on the outside of the door body 120, so that the user can take water; that is, the refrigerator 1000 of the embodiment of the present application is a refrigerator 1000 with an integrated drinking water function; and a water receiving box 140 is arranged at the lower side of the water inlet 131, which can store water. Water dripping from the water inlet 131 can also be received by the water released from the water inlet 131 when dehumidification is needed; a water storage structure 151 is provided on the refrigerated liner 150, and the water receiving box 140 is connected with the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe assembly 160, so that the water in the water receiving box 140 can be transported to the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe assembly 160, so that the water in the water inlet structure can evaporate into the refrigerated liner 150 through the open port, thereby humidifying the refrigerated liner 150, which is helpful to preserve the high humidity of the food.
[0060] It should be noted that when the refrigerator 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application is used for refrigeration, water is provided to the water storage structure 151 through the water dispenser 130 to replenish water due to the need for high moisturizing; even when refrigerating, the refrigerator compartment can still be maintained in a high humidity environment.
[0061] In the embodiment, the water dispenser 130 is integrated on the door body 120, and its internal structure is not the focus of improvement of the present application, that is, the internal pipeline arrangement and internal control structure of the water dispenser 130 can use the existing technology. The door body 120 is provided with a mounting structure for installing the water dispenser 130, for example, the housing of the water dispenser 130 is installed in the mounting cavity of the door body 120, and the door body 120 hides the water dispenser 130 and only exposes the water inlet 131. In some embodiments, the control structure of the water dispenser 130 is electrically connected to the control system of the refrigerator 1000, and the water dispenser 130 is controlled by the control system of the refrigerator 1000, for example, when the user takes water, the control system of the refrigerator 1000 controls the water dispenser 130 to release water.
[0062] In an embodiment, the water dispenser 130 can be a sub-module installed on the door body 120; for example, the water dispenser 130 is divided into a water tank, a water outlet system and a control circuit. In an embodiment, a suitable position is reserved on the door body 120 or inside the refrigerator 1000 to fix the water tank. For example, some refrigerators 1000 are provided with a special card slot or a fixed frame on the inner side of the door liner, so that the water tank can be stuck or hung on it to ensure a stable position and conveniently removed from the door of the refrigerator 1000 for water filling and cleaning. The connection between the water tank and the refrigerator 1000 generally has a sealing gasket or a sealing ring to prevent water leakage. The water outlet system includes a water inlet 131 and a water inlet rod and other water outlet components. The water inlet 131 is usually installed on the outside of the door body 120 to facilitate water intake and is connected to the water tank through a pipe. The water inlet rod is connected to the water inlet 131, and pressing or pulling the water inlet rod can control the water outlet 131. In some other embodiments, the refrigerator 1000 may also be equipped with a sensing device, which automatically dispenses water when a cup approaches or controls the water dispensing through voice commands. If the water dispenser 130 has a cooling or heating function, a corresponding control circuit and sensor may be installed inside the refrigerator 1000. The control circuit is generally connected to the main control board of the refrigerator 1000, and parameters such as the temperature of the water dispenser 130 may be set through the control panel of the refrigerator 1000 or a separate control button. The sensor is used to monitor the water level and water temperature of the water tank to ensure that the water dispenser 130 operates normally.
[0063] In an embodiment, the door body 120 can be rotatably connected to the box body 110 through a hinge mechanism, and the accommodating cavity can be opened or closed by rotation; the door body 120 can also be movably connected to the box body 110 through a sliding mechanism, and the accommodating cavity can be opened or closed by sliding. In other embodiments, the door body 120 can be configured as a drawer-type door body 120, and part of the door body 120 is configured as a storage space and is slidably located in the refrigerated inner container 150.
[0064] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 1000 further comprises a freezing liner 170, which is disposed in the accommodation cavity and is separated from the refrigerating liner 150. In some embodiments, the refrigerating liner 150 is disposed on the upper side of the freezing liner 170.
[0065] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe assembly is sealed and connected to the water storage structure 151 to prevent water leakage. In some embodiments, the door body 120 and the refrigerated liner 150 are respectively provided with an installation space for the water inlet pipe assembly. For example, the water inlet pipe assembly includes a water inlet pipe, and the door body 120 and the refrigerated liner 150 are respectively provided with mounting holes for the water inlet pipe. For another example, the water inlet pipe assembly also includes a valve or a water pump, and the door body 120 or the refrigerated liner 150 are respectively provided with a storage space for the valve or the water pump. In addition, in some embodiments, since the door body 120 is movable, in order to reduce the range of motion of the water inlet pipe, the water inlet pipe can be fixed on a hinge mechanism or a sliding mechanism or arranged close to the hinge mechanism or the sliding mechanism.
[0066] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the water receiving box 140 includes a box body 141 and a box cover 142; the box body 141 is formed with a water storage cavity, and the water storage cavity is connected with the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe assembly 160; the box cover 142 is arranged on the top of the box body 141 and is arranged directly opposite to the water intake, and is formed with a water leakage hole 143 connecting the outside with the water storage cavity. In the embodiment, water dripping from the water intake or water released from the water intake enters the water storage cavity through the water leakage hole 143, and the water storage cavity transports the water to the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe assembly 160.
[0067] In the embodiment, a pipe interface is provided on the box body 141, and the pipe interface is sealed and connected to the water inlet pipe assembly.
[0068] In the embodiment, the water inlet is arranged opposite to the box cover 142, which can be understood as that the projection of the water inlet in the vertical direction is on the box cover 142; on the one hand, when the user receives water, the box cover 142 supports the water receiving device so that the water inlet is aligned with the opening of the water receiving device; on the other hand, when the refrigerated liner 150 needs to be humidified, water released from the water inlet drops onto the box cover 142 and leaks into the water storage chamber through the leakage hole 143.
[0069] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the box cover 142 has a first portion 1421 for covering the water storage cavity and a second portion 1422 extending horizontally from the box body 141. The water leakage hole 143 is formed on the first portion 1421, and the first portion 1421 is arranged directly opposite to the water inlet; the second portion 1422 is overlapped on the door body 120. The second portion 1422 overlaps on the door body 120 to constrain the box cover 142, which is beneficial to the positioning and stability of the water receiving box 140. The water leakage hole 143 is arranged on the first portion 1421 facing the water inlet, so that water can easily enter the water storage cavity.
[0070] In some embodiments, the box cover 142 is formed with water retaining strips on the edges thereof, and the water retaining strips protrude from the first portion 1421 and the second portion 1422 to reduce water overflow.
[0071] In some embodiments, the surfaces of the first portion 1421 and the second portion facing the water inlet are coplanar and horizontal, which is convenient for users to place kettles and cups to receive water.
[0072] In some embodiments, a supporting surface is provided on the first portion 1421 and faces the water inlet. The supporting surface is lower than the outer surface of the first portion 1421 and is used to place containers such as kettles and cups. Some water leakage holes 143 are formed by extending from the supporting surface toward the inside of the water storage cavity to facilitate receiving water released from the water inlet or dripping water.
[0073] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the door body 120 has an outer side surface 121 and a placement groove S1 formed by being recessed from the outer side surface 121 to the inner side thereof. The placement groove S1 has a side wall S11 arranged in the front-to-back direction and a support block 123 protruding outward from the side wall S11, and the support block 123 does not protrude from the outer side surface 121; the support block 123 has a first limiting surface 1232 in the front-to-back direction and a second limiting surface 1231 in the up-down direction. The water receiving box 140 is arranged in the placement groove S1, and the second part 1422 abuts against the second limiting surface 1231, and the box body 141 abuts against the first limiting surface 1232. In an embodiment, the water receiving box 140 is embedded in the placement groove S1 to avoid the water receiving box 140 occupying the external space of the refrigerator 1000. The water receiving box 140 is positioned in the up-down direction and the front-back direction by the support block 123 in the placement groove S1, so that the user can assemble the water receiving box 140 in place and avoid water from being discharged from the water receiving box 140 due to improper assembly.
[0074] In the embodiment, the width (dimension in the left-right direction) of the placement slot S1 is adapted to the width (dimension in the left-right direction) of the water receiving box 140, so that the placement slot S1 can be limited up and down, left and right, and front and back.
[0075] In an embodiment, the box body 141 can be detachably fixed to the door body 120. For example, a card slot is provided on the edge of the placement slot S1, and the box body 141 is constructed with a buckle adapted to the card slot, and the buckle cooperates with the card slot; for another example, a supporting groove is formed on the bottom wall of the placement slot S1, and the box body 141 is inserted into the supporting groove for fixation.
[0076] In an embodiment, the placement tank S1 has a top wall S12 arranged in the up-down direction, and the water intake 131 is arranged on the top wall S12.
[0077] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the box body 141 is a heat conductive member. In the embodiment, the box body 141 is a heat conductive member, so that the water inside the box body 141 can absorb the heat from the outside, and it is convenient for the water to be quickly evaporated when entering the refrigeration inner tank 150, and quickly humidify. For example, the heat conductive member can be a heat conductive alloy member (such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy), or ceramic, glass, etc.
[0078] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the box body 141 is detachably connected to the box cover 142. In the embodiment, the box body 141 is detachably connected to the box cover 142, and the inside of the box body 141 can be cleaned. For example, the box body 141 and the box cover 142 are buckled; or the box body 141 is provided with a socket, and the box cover 142 is provided with a plug, and the plug is inserted into the socket.
[0079] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the door body 120 is provided with a bottle holder 132, and the bottle holder 132 is used to place a water storage box; a water discharge hole for connecting to the water inlet 131 is formed on the bottle holder 132; the water storage box placed on the bottle holder 132 is connected to the water discharge hole to supply water to the water inlet 131. The water storage box is adapted to the supporting cavity of the bottle holder 132, and when the water storage box is placed on the bottle holder 132, the water storage box is connected to the waterway in the water dispenser 130 through the water discharge hole, and the waterway is connected to the water inlet 131.
[0080] In an embodiment, the bottle holder 132 may be integrally formed on the inner side surface 122 of the door body 120 .
[0081] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 includes a hose or a telescopic pipe. In the embodiment, the door body 120 is movable relative to the refrigerated inner tank 150, and for this reason, the water inlet pipe of the water inlet pipe assembly 160 is a hose or a telescopic pipe, so that when the door body 120 moves, the water inlet pipe can move adaptively to avoid the movement of the door body 120 being blocked due to the restriction of the water inlet pipe.
[0082] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the water storage structure 151 is provided on the bottom surface of the refrigerated inner container 150, and is a water storage groove formed from the bottom surface to the inner side of the refrigerated inner container 150. In practice, the water storage groove is formed from the bottom surface of the refrigerated inner container 150 to the inner side thereof, so that its opening is located on the surface of the refrigerated inner container 150, so as to facilitate the evaporation of water therein.
[0083] Based on the refrigerator 1000 provided in the above embodiment, the present application embodiment also provides a freshness control method, which is applied to the refrigerator 1000 proposed in the above embodiment. Figure 7 A flow chart of the example shown, the freshness-keeping control method includes:
[0084] S100, obtaining the operating status of the refrigerator 1000;
[0085] S200, when the operating state is the refrigeration operating state, control the water inlet pipe assembly 160 to be in the water inlet state to deliver water to the water storage structure 151, and / or control the water dispenser 130 to be in the water discharge state to deliver water to the water storage structure 151.
[0086] In an embodiment, when the refrigerator 1000 is in refrigeration operation, the humidity in the refrigerated liner 150 decreases due to the ice formation of the evaporator; therefore, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 is controlled to be in a water intake state to deliver water to the water storage structure 151, and / or the water dispenser 130 is controlled to be in a water discharge state to deliver water to the water storage structure 151, so that there is water in the water storage structure 151, and the water evaporates into the refrigerated liner 150 to humidify it, so that the refrigerated liner 150 is in a high humidity environment, which is beneficial to the high moisture retention and freshness preservation of food.
[0087] It should be noted that the user can set the refrigeration tank 150 of the refrigerator 1000 to a high moisturizing state; when the operating state is the refrigeration operating state, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 is controlled to be in a water inlet state to deliver water to the water storage structure 151, and / or the water dispenser 130 is controlled to be in a water discharge state to deliver water to the water storage structure 151.
[0088] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 only includes a water inlet pipe, and there is no need to set up a water pump or valve structure. That is, when there is water in the water receiving box 140, it will be discharged into the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe. At this time, it is only necessary to control the water dispenser 130 to be in a water discharge state so that there is water in the water storage structure 151.
[0089] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 includes a water inlet pipe and a water pump or valve arranged on the water inlet pipe; that is, even if there is water in the water receiving box 140, the water pump or valve needs to be controlled to open, and only then will it be discharged into the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe.
[0090] In some embodiments, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 includes a water inlet pipe and a water pump or valve arranged on the water inlet pipe; when there is no water in the water receiving box 140, it is also necessary to control the water dispenser 130 to be in a water discharge state and to control the water pump or valve to be opened, and only then will the water be discharged into the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe.
[0091] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 includes a water inlet control valve; controlling the water inlet pipe assembly 160 to be in a water inlet state includes:
[0092] The water inlet control valve is controlled to be in an open state.
[0093] That is, when the refrigerator 1000 is in refrigeration operation, the water inlet control needs to be in the open state so that the water entering the water receiving box 140 can flow into the water storage structure 151 through the water inlet pipe, or the water released from the water intake can flow into the water storage structure 151 through the water receiving box 140 and the water inlet pipe.
[0094] In addition, the water inlet control valve is in a normally closed state to prevent the water in the water receiving box 140 from being discharged into the water storage structure 151 when humidification is not needed, causing the refrigerated inner tank 150 to be in an ultra-high humidity environment, thereby reducing the freshness of the food. For example, after the user completes the water collection, a small amount of water will drop into the water receiving box 140, and this part of water will be temporarily stored in the water receiving box 140. However, since the water inlet control valve is in a normally closed state, it will not be directly discharged into the water storage structure 151.
[0095] As an optional implementation of the above embodiment, the moisturizing control method further includes:
[0096] Obtaining the amount of water stored in the water storage structure 151;
[0097] When the stored water volume reaches a preset water volume, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 is controlled to stop taking in water and / or the water dispenser 130 is controlled to stop discharging water.
[0098] In an embodiment, when water is intaken, the water storage amount in the water storage structure 151 is monitored in real time. When the water storage amount reaches a preset amount, that is, the water intake in the water storage structure 151 is completed, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 is controlled to stop intake of water and / or the water dispenser 130 is controlled to stop draining water.
[0099] Further, in the embodiment, the preset water volume is associated with the average humidity in the refrigerated inner tank 150. That is, the average humidity of the refrigerated inner tank 150 is obtained, and the preset water volume is determined according to the average humidity. The average humidity can reflect the humidity in the refrigerated inner tank 150; for example, if the average humidity is low, more water needs to be added; if the average humidity is high, relatively less water needs to be added. That is, the average humidity is negatively correlated with the preset water volume.
[0100] In an embodiment, if the preset water volume exceeds the capacity of the water storage structure 151, the water inlet pipe assembly 160 is controlled to be in a water inlet state for multiple times to deliver water to the water storage structure 151, and / or the water dispenser 130 is controlled to be in a water release state to deliver water to the water storage structure 151; wherein the number of times is determined according to the capacity and the preset water volume, and the amount of water in each water inlet is less than the capacity. For example, when the preset water volume is xL, the capacity is yL, and x is greater than y, the number of times is equal to the first integer greater than x / y, and the amount of water in each water inlet is x / number of times, so as to avoid water overflow. For example, when the preset water volume is 0.8L, the capacity is 0.6L, and x is greater than y, the number of times is equal to the first integer greater than 0.8 / 0.6, that is, 2 times, and the amount of water in each water inlet is 0.4L, so as to avoid water overflow.
[0101] As an optional implementation method of the above embodiment, the water storage structure 151 is further connected to a drainage pipe assembly 180;
[0102] The moisturizing control method also includes:
[0103] When the operating state is the refrigeration shutdown state, the drain pipe assembly 180 is controlled to be in an open state to discharge the remaining water in the water storage structure 151 to the outside of the refrigeration inner tank 150 .
[0104] In an embodiment, when the refrigeration is stopped, that is, the air in the refrigerated tank 150 no longer exchanges heat with the evaporator, the evaporator begins to defrost and the humidity of the refrigerated tank 150 rises. At this time, the drain pipe assembly 180 is opened to discharge the remaining water in the water storage structure 151 to the outside of the refrigerated tank 150.
[0105] In an embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the water storage structure 151 is connected to the drain pipe assembly 180. The connecting pipe assembly includes a drain pipe and a drain control valve, and the drain control valve is arranged on the drain pipe. The drain pipe extends from the water storage structure 151 to the water receiving tray along the gravity direction, and the remaining water is discharged to the water receiving tray by gravity.
