[0072] The refrigeration equipment in the present application generally includes a box body, a door body and a refrigeration system, wherein at least one refrigeration compartment is formed in the box body, and the refrigeration compartment is opened and closed through the door body to meet the requirements of storing and retrieving articles.

[0073] Among them, the refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator, which are connected by pipes to form a refrigerant circulation loop. The refrigeration system performs the refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration equipment by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle process includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation to achieve refrigeration of the items in the box.

[0074] First, low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas enters the compressor, which compresses the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser for condensation. In the condenser, the refrigerant condenses into a liquid phase, and under the action of the cooling fan, the heat is released into the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0075] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the evaporator, where the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve evaporates, and the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas returns to the compressor. The evaporator can cool the gas environment in the box by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant.

[0076] In the first aspect, combined Figures 1 to 13 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigeration device, which includes a box body 1, a door body 2, a kettle 3, a control module and a water supply component 4.

A water storage cavity 31 is formed inside the kettle 3, a spout 32 is formed on the upper part of the kettle 3, and a water injection port 33 is formed on the top of the kettle 3, wherein the water storage cavity 31 is connected with the spout 32 and the water injection port 33, water can be injected into the water storage cavity 31 through the water injection port 33, and the cold water in the kettle 3 can be poured out through the spout 32;

[0080] The control module can be integrated into the control panel on the refrigerator door 2.

[0081] The water supply assembly 4 is disposed on the door body 2 and is used to supply water to the kettle 3 ; wherein the water supply assembly 4 includes a water pipe 41 and a water valve 42 .

[0082] One end of the water pipe 41 passes through the insulation layer of the door body 2 and the box body 1 and is connected to an external water source.

[0083] In order to ensure that the opening and closing of the refrigerator door 2 does not conflict with the water intake of the water pipe 41, the water pipe 41 passes through the hinge 25 of the door 2 to connect to an external water source for water intake. During installation, the water pipe 41 is pre-buried and installed in the insulation layer of the door 2. As shown in the figure, the water pipe 41 passes through the hinge 25 to reach the top of the box 1, and passes through the top of the box 1 to connect to the external water source.

[0084] The inlet of the water valve 42 is connected to the other end of the water pipe 41, and the outlet of the water valve 42 is connected to the water filling port 33. The water valve 42 is electrically connected to the control module, and the control module controls the opening and closing of the water valve 42 to fill water into the kettle 3 or stop filling water into the kettle 3.

[0085] Specifically, the refrigeration device includes a box body 1, a door body 2, a kettle 3, a control module and a water supply component 4.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, water is a general term for liquid beverages, including but not limited to purified water, juice, carbonated water and other liquid beverages.

[0088] Combination Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, in some other embodiments of the present application, the kettle 3 includes a kettle body 34 and a kettle cover 35 disposed at the upper end of the kettle body 34, the kettle cover 35 is detachably connected to the kettle body 34, and the inner wall surface of the kettle body 34 is formed with a splash-proof silent structure 341, which is an elliptical arc-shaped protrusion convexly disposed on the inner wall surface of the water storage cavity 31, and the splash-proof silent structure 341 is located directly below the water injection port 33. In order to improve the diversion effect of the water injection port 33, a diversion pipe 331 facing the water storage cavity 31 is provided on the water injection port 33, and the water outlet end surface of the diversion pipe 331 is an inclined surface.

[0089] When the water inlet 33 injects water into the water storage chamber 31 along the guide tube 331, after the water hits the elliptical arc-shaped protrusion, the water will flow downward along the elliptical arc-shaped protrusion, buffering the impact force of the falling water, reducing the height of the water splashing, effectively reducing the splashing phenomenon, and reducing the water injection noise.

[0090] In other embodiments, the kettle 3 further includes a handle 36 , which is embedded in the outer wall of the kettle body 34 . This can reduce the thickness of the handle 36 , thereby reducing the overall volume of the kettle 3 , while making it convenient to take and place the kettle 3 from the door body 2 .

[0091] Specifically, the handle 36 is arc-shaped.

[0092] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the water supply assembly 4 also includes a mounting box 43 .

[0093] The installation box 43 is a square frame structure and is fixedly arranged on the installation groove 21. The kettle 3 is detachably connected to the installation box 43 to facilitate taking the kettle 3. A first corrugated platform 437 is arranged on the outer side of the installation box 43 near the door shell 22, and the first corrugated platform 437 abuts against the inner wall surface of the door shell 22.

[0094] A stopper 431 is formed on the inner side of the installation box 43 near the refrigeration compartment. The stopper 431 is configured to prevent the kettle 3 from entering the box body 1 through the door body 2, so as to facilitate the user to place the kettle 3 in a suitable position and prevent the kettle 3 from entering the box body 1.

[0095] A second profiling platform 438 is provided on the stopper portion 431 near the door liner 23, and the second profiling platform 438 abuts against the mounting groove 21 on the door liner 23, so that the mounting box 43 is clamped between the door shell 22 and the door liner 23, thereby improving the structural stability.

[0096] Combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a joint portion 432 and a support 433 are formed on the top of the installation box 43, the joint portion 432 is connected to the water inlet 33, and the upper end of the joint portion 432 is connected to the outlet of the water valve 42, so that the water valve 42 can control the on and off of the water pipe 41; the water valve 42 is fixedly arranged on the support 433, specifically, the water valve 42 and the support 433 are provided with mounting holes at corresponding positions, and fasteners pass through the mounting holes to fix the water valve 42 and the support 433 together, thereby fixing the position of the water valve 42.

[0097] Among them, the joint part 432, the support 433 and the water valve 42 are all located inside the door body 2, that is, the joint part 432, the support 433 and the water valve 42 are all located between the door shell 22 and the door liner 23. On the one hand, it makes the door body 2 more concise and improves the overall aesthetics; on the other hand, it avoids external interference with the work of the water valve 42, etc.

[0098] Combination Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the refrigeration device further includes a non-contact liquid level sensor 5 .

[0099] The non-contact liquid level sensor 5 is arranged on one side of the installation box 43, and is electrically connected to the control module for detecting the water level in the kettle 3; the control module receives the water level signal transmitted by the non-contact liquid level sensor 5, and controls the opening and closing of the water valve 42 according to the water level signal.

[0100] Specifically, by setting a non-contact liquid level sensor 5, it is convenient to detect the water level in the kettle 3 in real time. When the water level in the kettle 3 is lower than the set water level, the control module controls the water valve 42 to open, and the water pipe 41 injects water into the kettle 3. When the water level in the kettle 3 reaches the set water level, the control module controls the water valve 42 to close, and the water pipe 41 stops injecting water into the kettle 3. In this way, automatic water filling of the kettle 3 can be achieved, making it convenient for users to use cold water at any time.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the refrigeration device further includes a reset sensing module and a reminder module.

[0102] The reset sensing module is disposed on the mounting box 43 and is electrically connected to the control module for detecting the position of the kettle 3;

[0103] The reminder module is electrically connected to the control module. The control module receives the position signal transmitted by the reset sensing module and controls the reminder module to send a corresponding reminder signal according to the position signal to remind the user to check the kettle 3 .

[0104] Specifically, when the kettle 3 is not placed in the set position, the reset sensing module transmits the detected position signal of the kettle 3 to the control module, and the control module controls the reminder module to send a reminder signal to remind the user to put the kettle 3 back to the set position.

[0105] It should be noted that when the kettle 3 is not placed in the set position, even if the non-contact liquid level sensor 5 detects that the water level is lower than the set water level, the control module will not control the water valve 42 to open. That is, the premise for the non-contact liquid level sensor 5 to work normally is that the kettle 3 is in the set position.

[0106] Combination Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the refrigeration device further includes a water overflow sensing module 6 .

[0107] The overflow sensing module 6 is arranged on the other side of the installation box 43, and is electrically connected to the control module for detecting the water level in the kettle 3. The control module receives the water level signal transmitted by the overflow sensing module 6, and controls the reminder module to send a corresponding reminder signal according to the water level signal.

[0108] Specifically, the overflow sensing module 6 can be provided to prevent the kettle 3 from overflowing.

[0109] For example, when the non-contact liquid level sensor 5 fails, the water valve 42 is in the open state and water is being poured into the kettle 3. When the water level in the kettle 3 reaches the overflow position, the overflow sensing module 6 transmits the water level signal to the control module, and the control module controls the water valve 42 to close, thereby avoiding the occurrence of overflow.

[0110] In certain embodiments of the present application, a weight sensor is integrated at the bottom of the installation box 43, and the weight sensor is electrically connected to the control module. The weight sensor can detect the weight of the kettle 3 in real time and transmit the weight signal to the control module. The control module receives the weight signal and controls the opening and closing of the water valve according to the weight signal.

[0111] The premise of the above working process is that the kettle 3 is placed in a suitable position on the installation box 43. When the weight of the kettle 3 is less than the full load value, the control module controls the water valve 42 to open and inject water into the kettle 3. When the weight of the kettle 3 is equal to the full load value, the control module controls the water valve 42 to close.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present application, a groove portion 435 is formed on the wall surface of one of the installation box 43 and the kettle 3, and a protrusion 434 is formed on the wall surface of the other of the installation box 43 and the kettle 3. The protrusion 434 is located in the groove portion 435 and is used to fix the kettle 3.

[0113] Specifically, the kettle 3 and the installation box 43 are fixed by the protrusion 434 being inserted into the groove 435 to ensure the stability of the structure. In order to facilitate taking the kettle 3, the outer wall surface of the protrusion 434 is an arc surface.
