[0036] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments do not limit the present invention, and any changes in mechanism, method, or function made by a person skilled in the art based on the embodiments are all within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] The terms used herein, such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", etc., which indicate relative spatial positions, are used for the purpose of convenience to describe the relationship between one feature and another feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. It is understood that, depending on the placement of the product, the terms of relative spatial positions may be intended to include different orientations other than those shown in the drawings, and should not be construed as limitations on the claims. In addition, the descriptor "horizontal" used herein is not completely equivalent to being perpendicular to the direction of gravity, and a certain angle of inclination is allowed.

[0038] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the first embodiment of the utility model provides a refrigeration device 100, which includes a box body 10, a compartment 20 formed in the box body 10, a door body 30 for opening and closing the compartment 20, and a water supply pipe 40. The door body 30 includes a door shell 301, a door lining 302 arranged in cooperation with the door shell 301, and a foaming cavity formed between the door shell 301 and the door lining 302. The refrigeration device 100 also includes a functional module 50 detachably connected to the door lining 302, that is, the functional module 50 can be connected to the door lining 302 or removed from the door lining 302. The water supply pipe 40 includes a flexible retractable section 401 which is at least partially located in the foaming cavity. A door liner opening 3021 is provided on the door liner 302 for the retractable section 401 to pass through. The retractable section 401 is detachably connected to the functional module 50. When the functional module 50 needs to be connected to the door liner 302, the retractable section 401 is connected to the functional module 50. When the functional module 50 needs to be removed from the door liner 302, the retractable section 401 is separated from the functional module 50.

[0039] The refrigeration device 100 also includes a retractable tube mechanism 60 arranged in the foaming cavity, and the retractable tube mechanism 60 includes a slider 601 movably arranged in the foaming cavity. The retractable section 401 is in contact with the slider 601, and the slider 601 can limit the position of the retractable section 401. The sliding of the slider 601 can also control the length of the retractable section 401 extending from the door lining opening 3021 out of the foaming cavity.

[0040] like Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, when the slider 601 slides downward, the length of the retractable section 401 that can extend out of the foaming cavity becomes longer, and when the slider 601 slides upward, the length of the retractable section 401 that can extend out of the foaming cavity becomes shorter. In this way, when it is necessary to connect the functional module 50 to the door lining 302, the slider 601 slides downward from the initial position so that the retractable section 401 can have a sufficient length to extend out of the foaming cavity, so that the retractable section 401 is connected to the functional module 50. When the functional module 50 is connected to the door lining 302, the slider 601 also moves upward to the initial position, and the retractable section 401 is received into the foaming cavity under the drive of the slider 601, and the length that can extend out of the foaming cavity becomes shorter. In this way, the problem of the water supply pipe 40 being blocked due to the irregular bending of the retractable section 401 in the foaming cavity when the foaming cavity is narrow in the front-to-back direction can be avoided. It can be imagined that the slider 601 is not limited to sliding up and down, but can also slide left and right or tilt.

[0041] In this embodiment, the tube retracting mechanism 60 further includes a pipeline box 602 and a first elastic member 603 disposed in the foaming cavity. The pipeline box 602 is attached to the door lining 302 to cover the door lining opening 3021, and a receiving cavity 604 is formed therein. The slider 601 is disposed in the receiving cavity 604 and is slidably connected to the pipeline box 602. It can be imagined that the retracting section 401 in contact with the slider 601 is at least partially located in the receiving cavity 604, and the two ends of the first elastic member 603 respectively abut the slider 601 and the pipeline box 602 along the sliding direction of the slider 601. When the functional module 50 needs to be connected to the door lining 302, the user pulls the retracting section 401 outward from the foaming cavity, while overcoming the elastic force of the first elastic member to make the slider 601 slide downward from the initial position. When the retractable section 401 is connected to the functional module 50, the user moves the functional module 50 toward the door lining 302 to install the functional module 50 on the door lining 302, and the slider 601 can be reset to the initial position under the action of the first elastic member 603, and the retractable section 401 is retracted under the action of the slider 601. The first elastic member 603 is preferably a compression spring.

[0042] The foaming cavity is used to fill the foaming material when the door body 30 is manufactured, and the pipeline box 602 can play a role in isolating the foaming material. The part of the water supply pipe 40 extending out of the receiving cavity 604 is covered with a protective tube 90 to isolate the foaming material. The water supply pipe 40 can extend from the hinge connecting the door body 30 and the box body 10 to the door body to extend into the box body 10.

[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, the slider 601 includes a main body 6011 slidably connected to the pipeline box 602, and a protrusion 6012 protruding from the main body 6011 toward a side wall of the pipeline box 602, and the retractable section 401 is overlapped above the protrusion 6012, and the retractable section 401 is in a state of naturally hanging down at the protrusion 6012.

[0044] In other embodiments, the first elastic member 603 may not be provided, and a driving device may be used to drive the slider 601 to slide.

[0045] In this embodiment, the compartment 20 includes a refrigerating compartment 201 and a freezing compartment 202, and the door body 30 includes a refrigerating door body 303 for opening and closing the refrigerating compartment 201 and a freezing door body 304 for opening and closing the freezing compartment 202. The functional module 50 is detachably connected to the door lining 302 of the refrigerating door body 303, and the refrigeration device 100 also includes an ice maker 70 disposed in the freezing compartment 202 or on the freezing door body 304, and the water supply pipe 40 connects the functional module 50 and the ice maker 70. The ice maker 70 is used to make ice, and the functional module 50 is used to supply water to the ice maker 70. Specifically, continue to combine Figure 9-11 As shown, the functional module 50 includes a water box 1 with an inner cavity 11, and a water pump assembly 2 installed on the water box 1. The water pump assembly 2 has a water inlet 21 and a water outlet 22. The water inlet 21 is connected to the inner cavity 11, and the retractable section 401 is detachably connected to the water outlet 22. When the functional module 50 is connected to the door lining 302 of the refrigerated door body 303, the retractable section 401 is connected to the water outlet 22. When the functional module 50 needs to be removed from the door lining 302 of the refrigerated door body 303, the retractable section 401 is separated from the water outlet 22. The inner cavity 11 of the water box 1 is used to store water, and the water pump assembly 2 can pump the water in the inner cavity 11 to the ice maker 70 through the water supply pipe 40.

[0046] In this embodiment, the refrigeration device 100 further includes a distributor 80 (such as Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the functional module 50 also includes a water outlet 3 connecting the inner cavity 11 and the distributor 80, and the water in the inner cavity 11 can flow into the distributor 80 through the water outlet 3. It can be imagined that the functional module 50 is located above the distributor 80 so that the water in the inner cavity 11 can automatically flow into the distributor 80 under the action of gravity. In this embodiment, the same functional module 50 can supply water to the distributor 80 and the ice maker 70 respectively, and the water pump assembly 2 is installed on the water box 1, so that the water pump assembly 2 and the water box 1 can be installed as a whole on the door lining 302 of the refrigerated door body 303 or removed from the door lining 302 of the refrigerated door body 303. Compared with the prior art, the structure on the refrigerated door body 303 is simplified, the cost of the refrigeration equipment 100 is saved, and the refrigeration equipment 100 is also easier to assemble.

[0047] In the water supply module, the inner cavity 11 has a box opening 111 that opens upward, and the functional module 50 also includes a box cover 4 that is arranged in cooperation with the box opening 111. The box cover 4 is provided with a water injection hole 41, and external water can be injected into the inner cavity 11 through the water injection hole 41. The functional module 50 can also include a hole cover 42 that is arranged in cooperation with the water injection hole 41.

[0048] A accommodating cavity 12 is formed in the water box 1, and part of the water pump assembly 2 is located in the accommodating cavity 12, so that the appearance of the functional module 50 can be simpler. The accommodating cavity 12 is specifically located in a corner of the water box 1. It can be imagined that the water inlet 21 of the water pump assembly 2 is located in the inner cavity 11 of the water box 1.

[0049] Specifically, the water box 1 includes a box body 13, a recessed portion 14 formed by a recessed arrangement on the outer surface of the box body 13, and a cover plate 15 that cooperates with the box body 13 to cover the recessed portion 14. The accommodating cavity 12 is formed by the side walls of the box body 13 located around the recessed portion 14 and the cover plate 15. When the functional module 50 is assembled, the water pump assembly 2 is first installed in the recessed portion 14, and then the cover plate 15 is installed on the box body 13 to cover the water pump assembly 2 located in the recessed portion 14.

[0050] Furthermore, a positioning block 5 for limiting the position of the water pump assembly 2 is provided in the accommodating cavity 12. When specifically arranged, the side wall of the box body 13 around the recessed portion 14 and the cover plate 15 can be brought into contact with the positioning block 5 to limit the position of the positioning block 5. The cover plate 15 can also be connected with a clamping portion 152 for clamping the water pump assembly 2 to fix the water pump assembly 2.

[0051] The water pump assembly 2 includes a water pump 23 having a water inlet end and a water outlet end, a water inlet pipe 24 connecting the water inlet end and the inner cavity 11, a water outlet pipe 25 having one end connected to the water outlet end, and a pipe joint 26 connected to the other end of the water outlet pipe 25. When the water pump 23 is in operation, water in the inner cavity 11 flows to the water inlet end of the water pump 23 through the water inlet pipe 24, and then flows out from the water outlet end of the water pump 23 to the water outlet pipe 25. The retractable section 401 of the water supply pipe 40 is detachably connected to the pipe joint 26, and the user can operate the retractable section 401 to connect the retractable section 401 to the pipe joint 26 or remove the retractable section 401 from the pipe joint 26. It can be imagined that the water inlet 21 refers to the opening at the end of the water inlet pipe 24 away from the water pump 23, and the water outlet 22 refers to the opening at the end of the pipe joint 26 away from the water outlet pipe 25.

[0052] When the water pump 23 is in a non-working state, its water inlet and water outlet are not connected, so that when the functional module 50 is separated from the refrigerated door body 303, the water in the inner cavity 11 can be prevented from flowing out from the water outlet 22 of the water pump assembly 2. In addition, in this embodiment, the water inlet 21 of the water pump assembly 2, that is, the opening at the end of the water inlet pipe 24 away from the water pump 23 is close to the side wall at the bottom of the water box 1, and the water inlet end of the water pump 23 is arranged close to the box opening 111. With this arrangement, when the functional module 50 is separated from the refrigerated door body 303, water at a higher water level can be stored in the inner cavity 11.

[0053] In this embodiment, a fixing structure 17 for fixing the pipe joint 26 is formed on the water box 1, and the water outlet 22 is exposed outside the accommodating cavity 12, so that it is convenient for the user to connect the retractable section 401 of the water supply pipe 40 to the pipe joint 26 or remove the retractable section 401 of the water supply pipe 40 from the pipe joint 26.

[0054] In order to supply power to the water pump assembly 2, the refrigeration device 100 further includes a power supply module, a wire electrically connecting the water pump assembly 2 and the power supply module, and a slot 151 for the wire to pass through is provided on the cover plate 15. It is conceivable that the wire is detachably connected to the water pump assembly 2 so that the functional module 50 can be removed from the refrigeration door body 303. The wire can be located in the receiving cavity 604 and the protective tube 90 to be isolated from the foaming material, and together with the water supply pipe 40, it extends from the refrigeration door body 303 from the hinge connecting the refrigeration door body 303 and the box body 10 to extend into the box body 10 to connect to the power supply module.

[0055] Continue to combine Figure 12-14 As shown, the box body 13 is provided with a through hole 16 connecting the inner cavity 11 and the accommodating cavity 12, the water inlet pipe 24 is made of a flexible material and includes a tube body 241 passing through the through hole 16 to connect the water inlet end and the inner cavity 11, and a sealing portion 242 convexly formed from the outer circumferential surface of the tube body 241. The sealing portion 242 is annular and fits the surface of the box body 13 near the through hole 16. The sealing portion 242 can prevent the water in the inner cavity 11 from leaking into the accommodating cavity 12 through the through hole 16. In this embodiment, two sealing portions 242 are arranged at intervals, and the two sealing portions 242 are respectively located on both sides of the through hole 16 to ensure the sealing effect.

[0056] The functional module 50 in this embodiment is used to store water so as to supply water to the ice maker 70 and the dispenser 80 , but it is conceivable that the functional module 50 may also be other components that need to be connected to the water supply pipe 40 and installed on the door lining 302 .

[0057] The above content has described the first embodiment of the utility model, and the following content will describe the second embodiment of the utility model.

[0058] like Figure 15-17As shown, the difference between the second embodiment of the utility model and the first embodiment is that, in the second embodiment, the function module 50 includes a water box 1 with an inner cavity 11, a water outlet valve 6 installed on the water box 1 and connected to the inner cavity 11, and the water pump 23 is arranged on the water supply pipe 40, that is, the water pump 23 divides the water supply pipe 40 into a part connecting the water pump 23 and the function module 50 and another part connecting the water pump 23 and the ice maker 70. The retractable section 401 is located between the water pump 23 and the function module 50 and is detachably connected to the water outlet valve 6. When the function module 50 is connected to the door lining 302 of the refrigeration door body 303, the retractable section 401 is connected to the water outlet valve 6. When the function module 50 needs to be removed from the door lining 302 of the refrigeration door body 303, the retractable section 401 is separated from the water outlet valve 6.

[0059] Furthermore, if Figure 18-19 As shown, the water outlet valve 6 includes a hollow valve body 61, a valve core 62 disposed in the valve body 61, and a second elastic member 63. The valve body 61 includes an inlet 64 and an outlet 65. The inlet 64 is connected to the inner cavity 11 of the water box 1. The retractable section 401 is inserted into the valve body 61 from the outlet 65 of the valve body 61 to communicate with the water outlet valve 6. An abutment portion 66 matching the valve core 62 is formed on the valve body 61 at a side of the valve core 62 close to the outlet 65. The second elastic member 63 is located at a side of the valve core 62 close to the inlet 64, and the two ends of the second elastic member 63 in the deformation direction respectively abut the valve body 61 and the valve core 62. When the retractable section 401 is not inserted into the valve body 61, the valve core 62 abuts against the abutting portion 66 through the elastic force of the second elastic member 63 to block the communication between the inlet 64 and the outlet 65 of the valve body 61. In this way, when the user removes the functional module 50 from the refrigeration door body 303, the water in the inner cavity 11 of the water box 1 will not flow out from the water outlet valve 6, and the user does not need to clean the water in the inner cavity 11 of the water box 1. When the retractable section 401 is inserted into the valve body 61, it can abut against the valve core 62 to make the valve body 61 move backward to overcome the elastic force of the second elastic member 63. In this way, a gap is formed between the valve core 62 and the abutting portion 66, the inlet 64 and the outlet 65 of the valve body 61 are connected, and the water in the inner cavity 11 can flow to the retractable section 401 through the valve body 61. The second elastic member 63 is preferably a compression spring.

[0060] The other structures of the second embodiment refer to the structures of the first embodiment. For example, in the second embodiment, the compartment 20 includes a refrigerating compartment 201 and a freezing compartment 202. The door body 30 includes a refrigerating door body 303 for opening and closing the refrigerating compartment 201 and a freezing door body 304 for opening and closing the freezing compartment 202. The functional module 50 is detachably connected to the door lining 302 of the refrigerating compartment 201. The refrigeration device 100 of the second embodiment also includes a water pump 23 and a refrigerating ice machine. The ice maker 70 is arranged on the freezing compartment 202 or the freezing door body 304.

[0061] It should be understood that although the present specification is described according to embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
