[0041] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in the present disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information.

[0042] As people's living standards improve, refrigerators have become a necessity in people's lives. Refrigerators use refrigeration to keep the interior of their storage chamber at a low temperature, thereby better preserving food and making better-tasting drinks for users to drink. However, there are many types and brands of refrigerators, which makes consumers have many choices. How to win the favor of consumers and improve product competitiveness has become an issue that refrigerator manufacturers are paying more and more attention to.

[0043] A refrigerator can cool water or drinks for users to drink. Therefore, many refrigerators are currently equipped with a liquid supply device to provide cold water or cold drinks to users. In the related art, it is usually necessary to fix the liquid storage box containing liquid in the liquid supply device to prevent the liquid storage box from moving and causing the liquid to flow out of the liquid storage box. However, currently, the fixing effect of the liquid storage box is either poor or the fixed liquid storage box is not easy to disassemble and install.

[0044] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the present disclosure provides a refrigerator 1, including a cabinet device 10, a compressor 20, a condenser 30, an evaporator 40 and an expansion valve 50. The cabinet device 10 includes a cabinet component 11, a cabinet door component 12, a freezing chamber 13 and a refrigerating chamber 14. The freezing chamber 13 and the refrigerating chamber 14 are respectively arranged in the cabinet component 11. The cabinet door component 12 is rotatably connected to the cabinet component 11 to open or close the refrigerating chamber 14 and the freezing chamber 13. The compressor 20, the condenser 30, the evaporator 40 and the expansion valve 50 are respectively arranged in the cabinet component 11, and at least part of the evaporator 40 is arranged in the freezing chamber 13.

[0045] Combination Figure 3 As shown, when the refrigerator 1 is in operation, the compressor 20 outputs a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant to the condenser 30, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is condensed into a medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant through the condenser 30. The medium-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant is further reduced in pressure and temperature by the expansion throttling effect of the expansion valve 50, and the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant flows out of the expansion valve 50 to the evaporator 40. The low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant evaporates into a gaseous refrigerant in the evaporator 40. At least part of the evaporator 40 is arranged in the freezing chamber 13, so that the refrigerant absorbs a large amount of heat in the freezing chamber 13 during the evaporation process, thereby reducing the temperature in the freezing chamber 13, making it easier to use the freezing chamber 13 to freeze items and realize the refrigeration of the refrigerator 1. The refrigerant coming out of the evaporator 40 is replenished back to the compressor 20 to form a refrigerant circuit. In this way, the refrigerant circulates continuously in the refrigerant circuit to maintain the freezing environment of the freezing chamber 13 (for example, less than -1°C).

[0046] See you later Figure 2 As shown, an air duct 15 is provided between the refrigerating compartment 14 and the freezing compartment 13, so as to transport part of the cold air from the freezing compartment 13 to the refrigerating compartment 14 through the air duct 15, so as to reduce or maintain the low temperature environment of the refrigerating compartment 14 (for example, 2°C to 8°C).

[0047] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, along the height direction of the refrigerator 1, the freezing chamber 13 is arranged below the refrigerating chamber 14. The refrigerator 1 also includes a first fan (not marked) arranged in the box body 11. The air inlet end or the air outlet end of the first fan is connected to the air duct 15, which is used to transport part of the cold air in the freezing chamber 13 to the refrigerating chamber 14.

[0048] like Figure 2 As shown, the height direction of the refrigerator 1 is the Z-axis direction.

[0049] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the freezing chamber 13 is covered with an insulation layer (not shown) to separate the evaporator 40 from the compressor 20 and the condenser 30 .

[0050] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the freezing chamber 13 is covered with an insulation layer (not shown).

[0051] In some embodiments, the refrigerator 1 further includes an air-cooling heat dissipation component (not shown) disposed on the cabinet part 11 , and the air-cooling heat dissipation component can at least dissipate heat for the condenser 30 .

[0052] In some embodiments, the box body 11 further includes a fresh-keeping bin disposed in the box body 11 . Along the height direction of the refrigerator 1 , the fresh-keeping bin is disposed between the refrigerating bin 14 and the freezing bin 13 .

[0053] In order to meet the needs of users for cold water or cold drinks, such as Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the refrigerator 1 further includes a liquid supply device 100 for providing cold water or cold drinks, and the liquid supply device 100 is detachably connected to the door body 101 of the cabinet door component 12. The liquid supply device 100 can provide cold water or cold drinks through the refrigerator 1, and the liquid supply device 100 can be modularly installed in refrigerators 1 of various specifications, thereby improving the adaptability of the liquid supply device 100.

[0054] It should be noted that there are many specific implementation methods for the liquid supply device 100 to be detachably connected to the door body 101, including screw connection, snap connection, etc.

[0055] In some embodiments, the liquid supply device 100 and the door body 101 are detachably fixedly connected by snap-fitting.

[0056] It should be noted that there are many specific implementation methods for the clamping and fixing of the liquid supply device 100 and the door body 101, such as the cooperation between a buckle and a clamping slot, the cooperation between a clamping protrusion and a clamping hole, and so on.

[0057] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, one of the liquid supply device 100 and the door body 101 is provided with a buckle 102, and the other is provided with a slot (not shown) that can be engaged with the buckle 102. The liquid supply device 100 and the door body 101 are connected by the buckle 102 and the slot. This method is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0058] It should be noted that one of the liquid supply device 100 and the door body 101 is provided with the buckle 102, and the other is provided with a slot that can be engaged with the buckle 102, including: the liquid supply device 100 is provided with the buckle 102, and the door body 101 is provided with a slot that can be engaged with the buckle 102. Or the door body 101 is provided with the buckle 102, and the liquid supply device 100 is provided with a slot that can be engaged with the buckle 102.

[0059] like Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid supply device 100 includes a shell assembly 110, a liquid storage box 120 and a locking assembly 130. The shell assembly 110 is provided with a first accommodating chamber 111 and a first opening 112 communicating with the first accommodating chamber 111. The liquid storage box 120 can be detachably installed in the first accommodating chamber 111, and has an installed state and a disassembled state. The liquid storage box 120 is provided with a limiting groove 121. The locking assembly 130 includes a first fixing member 131 and a locking member 132. The first fixing member 131 is fixedly connected to the shell assembly 110, and the locking member 132 is located in the first accommodating chamber 111. The locking member 132 is fixedly provided with a convex portion 1323 that can cooperate with the limiting groove 121. When the liquid storage box 120 is switched from the disassembly state to the installation state, the liquid storage box 120 moves to press the protruding portion 1323, and the protruding portion 1323 moves in a direction away from the liquid storage box 120. When the protruding portion 1323 cooperates with the limiting groove 121, the protruding portion 1323 can move in a direction close to the liquid storage box 120 to lock the liquid storage box 120. When the liquid storage box 120 is switched from the installation state to the disassembly state, the liquid storage box 120 moves to press the protruding portion 1323, and the protruding portion 1323 moves in a direction away from the liquid storage box 120, so that the protruding portion 1323 is disconnected from the limiting groove 121.

[0060] In some embodiments, the locking member 132 includes a connecting portion 1321 fixedly connected to the first fixing member 131 and a reset portion 1322 capable of relative movement with the first fixing member 131 . The reset portion 1322 is fixed with a protruding portion 1323 capable of cooperating with the limiting groove 121 .

[0061] In this way, when the liquid storage box 120 is installed, the liquid storage box 120 is installed in the first accommodating chamber 111 through the first opening 112. The liquid storage box 120 can be pressed against the convex portion 1323 when moving, and the convex portion 1323 moves in the direction away from the liquid storage box 120. When the liquid storage box 120 moves to a certain position, the convex portion 1323 and the limiting groove 121 can cooperate, so that the convex portion 1323 can move in the direction close to the liquid storage box 120, locking the movement of the liquid storage box 120, thereby fixing the liquid storage box 120. When the liquid storage box 120 is disassembled, the liquid storage box 120 is disassembled from the first accommodating chamber 111 through the first opening 112. The liquid storage box 120 can press the protruding portion 1323 when moving, and under the action of the reset member, the protruding portion 1323 moves in a direction away from the liquid storage box 120, so that the protruding portion 1323 and the limiting groove 121 are disconnected, and the liquid storage box 120 is continued to be moved to disassemble the liquid storage box 120. The cooperation of the protruding portion 1323 and the limiting groove 121 of the locking assembly 130 can make the installation of the liquid storage box 120 fixed, and fixing the liquid storage box 120 by the locking assembly 130 can also facilitate the installation and disassembly of the liquid storage box 120, thereby improving the user's experience of the liquid supply device 100. In addition, the user can confirm that the liquid storage box 120 is installed in place in the first accommodating chamber 111 through the cooperation of the protruding portion 1323 and the limiting groove 121.

[0062] It should be noted that the liquid supply device 100 can provide water or beverages in a variety of ways, including directly providing water or beverages through the liquid storage box 120, or mixing the concentrate and water in the liquid supply device 100 to produce a beverage.

[0063] It should be noted that the liquid storage box 120 may be a box for storing beverages, a water box for storing water, or a material box for storing concentrated liquid.

[0064] It should be noted that the installation state is that the liquid storage box 120 is installed in the first accommodating chamber 111, and the protruding portion 1323 cooperates with the limiting groove 121 to fix the liquid storage box 120. The disassembly state is that the liquid storage box 120 is disassembled from the first accommodating chamber 111.

[0065] It should be noted that the movement toward the liquid storage box 120 specifically refers to the movement toward Figure 6 Movement in the X direction shown.

[0066] It can be understood that after being subjected to a force, the reset member can be deformed and moved in the direction of the force, and when the force is removed, the reset member can return to its original state.

[0067] Specifically, there are many ways to implement the material of the reset element, including but not limited to plastics with elastic deformation (such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc.), rubber, silicone, etc.

[0068] It should be noted that there may be various ways to fix the first fixing member 131 and the housing assembly 110 , including but not limited to snap-on fixing, screw-on fixing, etc.

[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the first fixing member 131 and the housing assembly 110 are fixedly connected by snap-fitting.

[0070] like Figure 7 As shown, in one example, the housing assembly 110 is provided with a hook 113 , and the first fixing member 131 is fixedly connected to the housing assembly 110 via the hook 113 .

[0071] It should be noted that there may be many specific implementations of the first fixing member 131 and the locking member 132 , including but not limited to one-piece molding, separate manufacturing and then assembly, etc.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 131 and the locking member 132 are integrally formed, so as to reduce the number of assembly steps and improve the overall strength of the locking assembly 130 .

[0073] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing assembly 110 is provided with a second opening 114 communicating with the first accommodating cavity 111, and the locking member 132 is disposed in the first accommodating cavity 111 through the second opening 114. The first fixing member 131 abuts against the outer wall of the housing assembly 110. In this way, by providing the second opening 114 in the housing assembly 110, the first fixing member 131 of the locking assembly 130 abuts against the outer wall of the housing assembly 110, and the locking member 132 is disposed in the second accommodating cavity through the second opening 114, the second opening 114 can limit the locking assembly 130, so that the position of the locking assembly 130 relative to the housing assembly 110 is determined.

[0074] like Fig. 9 as well as Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid storage box 120 includes a box body 122 and a cover body 123 that can be covered on the box body 122. The limiting groove 121 is provided on the cover body 123. In this way, when the liquid storage box 120 needs to be cleaned or liquid is added, it can be cleaned or liquid is added by opening the cover body 123, which is convenient for operation and improves user experience.

[0075] like Fig. 9 as well as Fig.10As shown, in some embodiments, the cover body 123 is further provided with an introduction groove 1231, and the introduction groove 1231 and the limiting groove 121 are arranged at intervals along the depth direction of the first accommodating chamber 111. The bottom wall of the introduction groove 1231 is provided with a guide slope or a guide arc surface. When the liquid storage box 120 is switched from the disassembly state to the installation state, the clamping protrusion 1323 cooperates with the limiting groove 121 through the introduction groove 1231. In this way, when the liquid storage box 120 is installed, the liquid storage box 120 is installed in the first accommodating chamber 111 through the first opening 112. When the liquid storage box 120 moves, the bottom wall of the introduction groove 1231 presses the clamping protrusion 1323, and the bottom wall of the introduction groove 1231 is provided with a guide slope or a guide arc surface, so that the clamping protrusion 1323 can move more smoothly away from the liquid storage box 120, thereby avoiding the reset part 1322 from being easily damaged and improving the life of the locking assembly 130. Thereby improving the reliability of the liquid supply device 100.

[0076] It should be noted that the depth direction of the first accommodating cavity 111 is: from the first opening 112 to the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 111, specifically, Figure 6 Y direction shown.

[0077] In order to further ensure the fixing effect of the liquid storage box 120 when it is installed in the first accommodating cavity 111, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a stopper 115 is protruding from the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 111. When the liquid storage box 120 is in the installed state, the stopper 115 presses against the side wall of the liquid storage box 120 to limit the movement of the liquid storage box 120 toward the first through opening 112. In this way, when the liquid storage box 120 is installed in the first accommodating cavity 111, that is, in the installed state, the stopper 115 on the bottom wall of the first accommodating cavity 111 can press against the side wall of the liquid storage box 120, thereby further preventing the liquid storage box 120 from moving, so as to further fix the liquid storage box 120.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid supply device 100 further includes a liquid level detection component 140, which is used to detect the liquid level of the liquid storage box 120. The liquid level detection component 140 is fixed to the side wall of the housing component 110, and the height of the liquid level detection component 140 along the gravity direction is greater than the height of the bottom wall of the liquid storage box 120 along the gravity direction. In this way, the user can know that the liquid level of the liquid storage box 120 is too low through the liquid level detection component 140, so that the user can be reminded to add concentrated liquid or water in time to avoid the lack of liquid in the liquid supply device 100, thereby improving the user experience.

[0079] It should be noted that there may be multiple specific detection methods for the liquid level detection component 140, including capacitive sensors and the like.

[0080] like Figures 9 to 12As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid supply device 100 further includes a pipeline assembly 150, the liquid storage box 120 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 124 and an interface 125 communicating with the second accommodating cavity 124, one end of the pipeline assembly 150 is connected to the interface 125, and the other end is connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid supply device 100.
