Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a refrigeration device. Background Art

[0002] As an indispensable household appliance, refrigerators make people's lives more convenient and comfortable. With the continuous advancement of technology, refrigerators are given various additional functions in addition to their typical function of preserving food for a long time. Some refrigerators are equipped with water dispensers and ice makers. Such refrigerators supply water to the water dispensers and ice makers through a water supply system.

[0003] Some water supply systems supply water to water dispensers and ice makers through a single water pump and electric valve. However, the water supply system has many pipes with many bends and large resistance to water transmission. In addition, the pipes of the water dispenser and ice maker interfere with each other, resulting in unstable water supply from a single pump, affecting the normal operation of the water dispenser and ice maker. In addition to the first time, the solenoid valve is connected to strong AC electricity, which poses a safety hazard and has poor safety.

[0066] The refrigeration device in the present application generally comprises a box body, a door body and a refrigeration system, wherein at least a 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.

[0067] The refrigeration system uses a compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator to perform the refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration equipment. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation to achieve cooling of the items in the box.

[0068] The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, which compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0069] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator can cool the items in the box by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant.

[0070] Taking a refrigerator as an example, the refrigerator includes a box body, and the refrigeration compartments in the box body include a refrigerator and a freezer. The front ends of the refrigerator and the freezer are respectively provided with ports for introducing food. The refrigerator is used to insure food, and the freezer is used to freeze food.

[0071] An ice-making device is arranged in the box body for making ice cubes needed in daily life.

[0072] The ice-making device comprises a water supply component and an ice-making component. The water supply component is installed in the box body and comprises a water storage tank and a water supply pipe group connected with the water storage tank.

[0073] The water storage tank is specifically installed in the cold storage room, in an environment where the temperature range inside the box is above 0 degrees to avoid freezing.

[0074] The ice-making assembly is installed in the freezing chamber and connected to the water supply pipe assembly to make ice cubes from the fluid transported from the water supply pipe assembly.

[0075] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present application provides a refrigeration device, specifically a refrigerator, which includes a box body 100, an ice-making assembly 500, a drinking water assembly 110 and a water supply device.

[0076] The box body 100 includes a refrigeration compartment and an equipment chamber 120. The refrigeration compartment includes a refrigerator and a freezer. Ports for introducing food are respectively provided at the front ends of the refrigerator and the freezer. The refrigerator is used to insure food, and the freezer is used to freeze food.

[0077] In addition to its typical function of preserving food for a long time, a refrigerator also has the functions of a water dispenser and an ice maker.

[0078] An ice-making assembly 500 is arranged in the freezing chamber for providing ice cubes to the user, and a drinking water assembly 110 is arranged on the door of the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator for providing drinking water to the user.

[0079] The drinking water assembly 110 and the ice making assembly 500 are connected to the water supply device through the first conveying assembly 300 and the second conveying assembly 400 respectively.

[0080] refer to Figure 3-Figure 5 The water supply device delivers water to the drinking water assembly 110 through the first delivery assembly 300 , and delivers water to the ice making assembly 500 through the second delivery assembly 400 .

[0081] Specifically, the water supply device is disposed in the box body 100 , and includes a water tank assembly 200 , a first water pump 310 , a second water pump 410 , a first water supply pipe group 320 , and a second water supply pipe group 420 .

[0082] The first water pump 310 is connected to the water tank 220 and the drinking water assembly 110 through the first water supply pipe assembly 320 , and is used to transport water in the water tank 220 to the drinking water assembly 110 .

[0083] The second water pump 410 is connected to the water tank 220 and the ice-making assembly 500 through the second water supply pipe assembly 420 , and is used to transport water in the water tank 220 to the ice-making assembly 500 .

[0084] The first water supply pipe group 320 and the second water supply pipe group 420 are both composed of multiple water pipes, each of which is connected between the first water pump 310, the second water pump 410 and the water tank assembly 200 or between the first water pump 310 and the drinking water assembly 110, and between the second water pump 410 and the ice making assembly 500.

[0085] The first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 are respectively formed with a water inlet end and a water outlet section. The water inlet end of the first water pump 310 is connected to the water tank assembly 200 through the water pipe fittings in the first water supply pipe group 320, and the water outlet end of the first water pump 310 is connected to the drinking water assembly 110 through the water pipe fittings in the first water supply pipe group 320.

[0086] The water inlet pipe of the second water pump 410 is connected to the water tank assembly 200 through the water pipe fittings in the second water supply pipe assembly 420 , and the water outlet end of the second water pump 410 is connected to the ice making assembly 500 through the water pipe fittings in the second water supply pipe assembly 420 .

[0087] A protective shell 201 is provided on the outside of the water pipe between the water tank 220 and the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 to protect the water pipe at this position and improve the stability of its connection.

[0088] Compared with a single water pump, the dual water pump design of the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 is relatively simple to connect pipes, will not interfere with each other, and has higher safety.

[0089] However, since the dual water pump is provided with two water pumps, the vibration of the water pump during operation is relatively large, generating relatively large vibration noise, and the vibration is transmitted to other working parts, which can easily affect the stability of the operation of the refrigerator.

[0090] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 In order to solve the above problems, the present application fixes the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 in the box body 100 through the support member 130.

[0091] Specifically, a support portion is formed on the support member 130 , and the support member 130 is a support plate structure fixed on the frame of the box body 100 and installed vertically, and the support portion is specifically a bracket structure formed on one side of the support plate.

[0092] The water inlet end and the water outlet end of the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 are respectively connected to the support part. The first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 are connected and fixed to the support member 130 through the supporting effect of the support part.

[0093] The support portion is also connected to a vibration reduction portion 140 for reducing the transmission of vibration of the first water pump 310 and / or the second water pump 410 .

[0094] Specifically, in order to provide support for the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 respectively, the support portion on the support member 130 of the present application is specifically two bracket groups, and each bracket group supports the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 respectively.

[0095] Specifically, each bracket group includes a first support portion 131 and a second support portion 132 , and the first support portion 131 and the second support portion 132 are bracket structures extending horizontally outward perpendicular to one side of the support member 130 .

[0096] The water inlet end of the first water pump 310 is connected to the first support portion 131 of one of the bracket groups, and the water outlet end of the first water pump 310 is connected to the second support portion 132 of the same bracket group.

[0097] The water inlet end of the second water pump 410 is connected to the first support portion 131 of another bracket group, and the water outlet end of the second water pump 410 is connected to the second support portion 132 of the same bracket group.

[0098] Specifically, a support groove 1311 with an upper opening is formed on the first support portion 131 or the second support portion 132 of the same bracket set, and a penetrating support hole 1321 is formed on the other second support portion 132 or the first support portion 131 .

[0099] The support groove 1311 and the support hole 1321 structure on the bracket assembly facilitate installation while ensuring stable connection between the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 .

[0100] Taking the first support portion 131 as the support groove 1311 and the second support portion 132 as the support hole 1321 as an example:

[0101] During installation, first insert the water outlet of the first water pump 310 into the support hole 1321 on the second support portion 132 , and then install the water inlet of the first water pump 310 on the support groove 1311 on the first support portion 131 from top to bottom.

[0102] This avoids the problem that when both the first support portion 131 and the second support portion 132 are installation holes, the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 interfere with each other during installation, thus causing installation difficulties.

[0103] At the same time, it can also avoid the problem that when both the first support portion 131 and the second support portion 132 are installation grooves, the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 lack vertical constraints, resulting in their up and down movement during operation.

[0104] In order to limit the rotation of the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 , the support groove 1311 and the support hole 1321 are both non-circular structures, that is, the cross-sectional shapes of the support groove 1311 and the support hole 1321 are both directional.

[0105] The cross section of the outer wall of the vibration damping portion 140 is adapted to the shapes of the support hole 1321 and the support groove 1311 .

[0106] For example but not limited to, the support groove 1311 and the support hole 1321 are both square structures, and the cross-sectional shape of the outer wall of the vibration reduction part 140 is also square.

[0107] The vibration reduction part 140 is made of rubber material. In the installed state, the vibration reduction part 140 is tightly connected between the first support part 131 and the water inlet end, or between the second support part 132 and the water outlet end in an interference fit manner.

[0108] In some other embodiments of the present application, a limiting portion 141 is further formed on at least one side of the vibration reduction portion 140 to limit the position of the first water pump 310 and / or the second water pump 410 .

[0109] Specifically, the two sides of the vibration reduction part 140 installed on the first support part 131 (ie, the support groove 1311 ) respectively form limiting parts 141 , and during installation, the vibration reduction part 140 and the vibration reduction part 140 can be installed in the first support part 131 from top to bottom.

[0110] A limiting portion 141 is provided on one side of the vibration reduction portion 140 installed on the second support portion 132 (ie, the support hole 1321 ) to avoid interference between the water inlet or outlet when being plugged into the first support portion 131 when limiting portions 141 are provided on both sides.

[0111] The limiting parts 141 are integrally formed on both sides of the vibration reduction part 140, so that the positions of the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 along the axial direction of the water inlet end and the water outlet end are fixed to avoid left and right movement of the sound.

[0112] In the installed state, the limiting portions 141 are located at both sides of the first supporting portion 131 and the second supporting portion 132 to prevent the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 from moving in the horizontal direction.

[0113] The material of the vibration damping part 140 is rubber, which provides soft contact between the first water pump 310, the second water pump 410 and the support member 130, and can cushion the vibration generated during the operation of the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410, reduce the vibration transmitted to the support member 130 and other working parts, thereby reducing noise, and is beneficial to the working stability of the box 100.

[0114] The vibration of the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 will only be transmitted to the vibration reduction part 140. The soft contact between the vibration reduction part 140 and the support member 130 can ensure that the vibration transmitted from the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 to the support member 130 is negligible, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing noise and vibration.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 8-Figure 14 The water tank assembly 200 is arranged in the refrigerating chamber and connected to the supporting shelf 101 in the refrigerating chamber.

[0116] Specific reference Fig. 9 The water tank assembly 200 includes an upper cover plate 210, a water tank 220 and a lower base frame 230. The bottom of the lower base frame 230 is fixed on the supporting layer frame 101. The water tank 220 can be moved into or out of the lower base frame 230 in a horizontal direction to facilitate water filling into the water tank.

[0117] The lower base frame 230 supports the water tank 220. The water tank 220 is a structure with an upper opening. The upper cover plate 210 is disposed on the upper part of the water tank 220 to achieve sealing effects.

[0118] Specific reference Fig.13 , Fig.14 In order to improve the tightness of the connection between the upper cover plate 210 and the water tank 220 , a connecting groove 211 is formed on the lower surface of the upper cover plate 210 , and a plug-in portion 221 is formed on the water tank 220 , and the plug-in portion 221 of the water tank 220 is connected to the connecting groove 211 .

[0119] Specifically, the plug-in portion 221 is formed on both sides of the water tank 220 and extends along the moving direction of the water tank 220 . The connecting groove portion 211 is specifically a groove structure formed on the lower surface of the upper cover plate 210 , and the connecting groove portion 211 also extends along the moving direction of the water tank 220 .

[0120] In the installed state, the plug-in portion 221 of the water tank 220 extends into the connecting groove 211 , and the thickness of the plug-in portion 221 is smaller than the wall thickness of the water tank 220 , so that a good seal is formed between the water tank 220 and the upper cover plate 210 .

[0121] refer to Fig.10 A water injection port 212 is also formed on the upper cover plate 210. The water injection port 212 is located on a side close to the refrigerator door, which is convenient for users to add water.

[0122] The water inlet 212 is provided with a cover 213 . When in use, the cover 213 blocks the water inlet 212 . When water needs to be filled, the user pulls the water tank 220 outward, opens the cover 213 , and fills water into the water tank 220 from the water inlet 212 .

[0123] The sealing cover 213 can be opened by horizontally pushing and pulling the water inlet, or by flipping the cover.

[0124] In the embodiment of flip-opening, the rear side of the cover 213 is hinged on the water injection port 212, and the user opens the cover 213 backward to expose the water injection port 212 for easy water injection.

[0125] The water tank 220 is also provided with a push-pull portion that is recessed inwardly, and a handle portion is formed on the push-pull portion, which is convenient for the user to hold and operate the water tank to pull outward or push inward.

[0126] refer to Fig.15 The lower chassis 230 includes a lower bottom plate, side plates formed on both sides of the lower bottom plate, and an inner end plate formed between the two side plates.

[0127] The inner end plate is located on a side close to the rear wall of the tank, and the water tank 220 can be moved in or out from the front side of the tank body 100 .

[0128] A support surface is formed on the lower bottom plate, and the bottom of the water tank 220 is supported on the support surface.

[0129] A lower guide rail portion 234 is formed on the lower bottom plate. The width of the lower guide rail portion 234 matches the width of the bottom of the water tank 220 , and the water tank 220 moves in or out along the lower guide rail portion 234 .

[0130] refer to Fig.11 , 12 A first water outlet pipe 222 and a second water outlet pipe 223 extending to the bottom of the water tank 220 are formed in the water tank 220, and a water supply end 224 in contact with the bottom of the water tank 220 is formed at the bottom of the first water outlet pipe 222 and the second water outlet pipe 223 to provide stable support for the first water outlet pipe 222 and the second water outlet pipe 223.

[0131] Water supply ports 225 are formed on the water supply end 224 , respectively. The water supply ports 225 are close to the bottom of the water tank 220 , so as to output the water in the water tank 220 as much as possible and reduce the water accumulation in the water tank 200 .

[0132] The water in the water tank 220 enters the first water outlet pipe 222 or the second water outlet pipe 223 from the water supply port 225 .

[0133] The tops of the first water outlet pipe 222 and the second water outlet pipe 223 are connected to the rear wall of the box body 220 , and water outlet ports are formed on the tops of the first water outlet pipe 222 and the second water outlet pipe 223 for connecting with water pipe fittings.

[0134] A first interface 232 corresponding to the water outlet port of the first water outlet pipe 222 and a second interface 233 corresponding to the water outlet port of the second water outlet pipe 223 are formed on the inner end plate of the lower chassis 230 .

[0135] The first interface 232 is connected to the first water pump 310 , and the second interface 233 is connected to the second water pump 410 .

[0136] Specifically, the first water pump 310 is connected to the first interface 232 through a water pipe, and the second water pump 410 is connected to the second interface 233 through a water pipe.

[0137] refer to Fig.11When the water tank 220 is moved in, the water outlet port of the first water outlet pipe 222 is connected to the first interface 232 , and the water outlet port of the second water outlet pipe 223 is connected to the second interface 233 .

[0138] The first interface 232 is connected to the first water pump 310 through the first water supply pipe group 320. After the first water pump 310 is started, water in the water tank 220 is input from the water supply port 225 on the first water outlet pipe 222 and output to the drinking water assembly 110 after passing through the first water supply pipe group 320.

[0139] The second interface 233 is connected to the second water pump 410 through the second water supply assembly. After the second water pump 410 is started, the water in the water tank 220 is input from the water supply port 225 on the second water outlet pipe 223 and output to the ice making assembly 500 after passing through the second water supply pipe group 420.

[0140] refer to Fig.12 When the water tank 220 is removed, the water outlet port of the first water outlet pipe 222 is disconnected from the first interface 232, the water outlet port of the second water outlet pipe 223 is connected to the second interface 233, and the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 stop supplying water to the drinking water component 110 and the ice making component 500.

[0141] This is to facilitate the user to timely observe the status of the water tank 220 and avoid starting the water supply when the water tank 220 is not properly installed.

[0142] A signal part is also provided on one side of the water tank 220 close to the inner end plate, and a sensing part 231 corresponding to the position of the signal part is formed at a corresponding position of the inner end plate. The sensing part 231 is configured to sense the position of the signal part to determine the position state of the water tank 220.

[0143] The sensing part 231 is connected to the control system. A display element, such as a display light, is provided on the refrigerator body 100 to indicate the position of the water tank 220 .

[0144] Specifically, when the water tank 220 is moved into place, the sensing unit 231 senses the position state of the signal unit, and the sensing unit 231 sends the position signal of the water tank 220 to the control system, and the control system controls the display light to be green for user identification.

[0145] When the water tank 220 is moved out or not moved into place, the sensing unit 231 senses the position state of the signal unit and sends the position signal of the water tank 220 to the control system, and the control system controls the display light to be red.

[0146] The sensing unit 231 and the signal unit may be in contact with each other, or position detection may be performed through infrared rays or the like.

[0147] While controlling the color of the display light, the control system also controls the circuit disconnection of the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410. When the water tank 220 is not moved into place, the control system always controls the circuits of the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 to be in a disconnected state to prevent the user from operating the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410 incorrectly and turning on the first water pump 310 and the second water pump 410.

[0148] The door of the refrigerator is provided with an inwardly recessed water receiving area to facilitate users to receive water.

[0149] When the drinking water component 110 is working, the user presses the drinking water button set on the refrigerator door, the first water pump 310 is turned on, and the water in the water tank 220 is input from the water supply port 225 on the first water outlet pipe 222, and is output to the drinking water component 110 after passing through the first water supply pipe group 320.

[0150] When the ice-making assembly 500 is working, the second water pump 410 is started, and the water in the water tank 220 is input from the water supply port 225 on the second water outlet pipe 223 and output to the ice-making assembly 500 after passing through the second water supply pipe group 420 .

[0151] It should be noted that the second water pump 410 is also turned on based on the indoor temperature of the freezer compartment. When the indoor temperature of the freezer compartment reaches below the target temperature and the freezer compartment meets the ice-making conditions, the second water pump 410 can be turned on.

[0152] Reference again Figure 2 The refrigeration equipment also includes a refrigeration system, which includes a compressor 600, a condenser, a solenoid valve 700, a refrigeration evaporator and a freezing evaporator.

[0155] For a refrigeration system including at least two evaporators, the solenoid valve 700 is an important working component. When the width of the box body 100 is relatively small, or when there are many working components arranged in the equipment chamber 120, the installation space of the solenoid valve 700 is limited and the installation process is relatively difficult.

[0156] In order to facilitate the installation of the solenoid valve 700 , a support base 800 is installed in the equipment chamber 120 in the present application, and the solenoid valve 700 is connected to the equipment chamber 120 through the support base 800 .

[0159] The support seat is used to be connected to the top of the freezing chamber, and the ice making tray is connected to the support stand.

[0160] The ice making tray is used for making ice. A plurality of ice making chambers with openings facing upwards are formed on the ice making tray. The ice making chambers are dispersedly arranged on the ice making tray in an array.

[0161] An ice storage piece is also arranged directly below the ice making tray. The ice storage piece is formed with an ice storage groove with an opening facing upward. When the ice making tray is turned over, ice cubes in the ice making chamber fall into the ice storage groove.

[0162] The ice-making device also includes an ice-detecting rod, a temperature-sensing component and a control system. The ice-detecting rod, the temperature-sensing component and the control system are connected by signals. The ice-detecting rod is arranged on one side of the ice-making driving component and can be driven by the ice-making driving component to rotate to detect whether there are ice cubes in the ice storage component.
