[0070] In the related art, in order to supply water to the ice maker, a water tank is usually arranged in the refrigerator, and the water source is stored in the water tank. The water tank passes water into the ice maker through a water receiving funnel, and the water receiving funnel is fixed in the refrigerator through a mounting seat. The water receiving funnel and the mounting seat are non-detachable structures. When dust and impurities enter the water receiving funnel after long-term use and need to be cleaned, it cannot be conveniently disassembled for cleaning, which reduces the user experience. To solve this problem, the present application proposes a refrigerator.

[0072] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a refrigerator according to some embodiments is shown. Figure 2 An assembly diagram of an ice maker, a water tank, and a mounting base in a refrigerator according to some embodiments is shown. Figure 3 An assembly diagram of a water tank, a mounting base, and a water receiving funnel in a refrigerator according to some embodiments is shown.

[0073] See also Figures 1 to 3 A refrigerator may include a box body 10. The box body 10 is the outer shell structure of the refrigerator, and is used to accommodate other components, such as a box liner and a refrigeration system, etc. The box body 10 may be in a rectangular shape, or in other shapes.

[0074] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a refrigerator liner 20. The refrigerator liner 20 is disposed in the housing 10. A refrigerating chamber 200 may be formed in the refrigerator liner 20. The temperature in the refrigerating chamber 200 may be controlled between 2°C and 8°C, and is mostly used to store fruits and vegetables for daily needs. The front side of the refrigerating chamber 200 may be opened to facilitate the entry and exit of refrigerated items.

[0075] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a freezer liner 30. The freezer liner 30 is disposed in the housing 10, and the freezer liner 30 may be spaced apart from the refrigerator liner 20, such as the freezer liner 30 may be spaced apart from the refrigerator liner 20 in the vertical direction, or the freezer liner 30 may be spaced apart from the refrigerator liner 20 in the left-right direction. A freezing chamber 300 may be formed in the freezer liner 30, and the temperature in the freezing chamber 300 is relatively low and may be controlled below zero degrees, and may be used to store meat that needs to be stored for a long time. The front side of the freezing chamber 300 may be opened to facilitate the entry and exit of frozen objects.

[0076] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a door body. The door body may be provided with a refrigerator door and a freezer door corresponding to the refrigerator compartment 200 and the freezer compartment 300, respectively. The refrigerator door and the freezer door may be rotatably connected to the front side of the box body 10. The refrigerator door is used to open and close the refrigerator compartment 200, and the freezer door is used to open and close the freezer compartment 300. When the door body is closed, the refrigerator compartment 200 and the freezer compartment 300 are in a sealed state, which is convenient for storing items at low temperatures and preventing cold from leaking out. When the door body is opened, it is convenient for users to take and put items.

[0077] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a refrigeration system for providing coldness for the refrigerator. The refrigeration system may include a compressor, an evaporator, and a condenser. The compressor and the condenser may be arranged in a compressor compartment at the bottom of the box body 10, and the evaporator may be arranged in a refrigeration air duct in the freezing chamber 300. The compressor, the condenser, and the evaporator may be connected by a capillary tube, and a refrigerant circulates in the capillary tube. The specific working principle of the refrigeration system will not be described in detail here.

[0078] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include an ice maker 40. The ice maker 40 is disposed in the freezing chamber 300 and is used to receive a water source for making ice. Since the temperature in the freezing chamber 300 is usually between -18° and -24°, within this temperature range, the water source can quickly solidify to form an ice body. The ice maker 40 is disposed in the freezing chamber 300, so that the ultra-low temperature of the freezing chamber 300 can be used to make ice bodies.

[0079] In some embodiments, the ice maker 40 may include an ice box 400. The ice box 400 is disposed in the freezing chamber 300. The ice box 400 is a box-shaped component with a hollow interior. It may have an ice-making cavity with an open upper side. An end cover 410 may be disposed above the ice-making cavity. The end cover 410 covers the open ice-making cavity and covers it to play a certain sealing role. A water inlet connected to the ice-making cavity may be opened on the end cover 410.

[0080] In some embodiments, the ice-making chamber can be divided into a plurality of ice-making grids by criss-cross partitions, water is injected into the ice-making chamber through a water injection port, and the water source is frozen in the ice-making grids to form ice bodies. After the ice is made, the ice-making box 400 is driven by a driving mechanism to flip downward, so that the opening of the ice-making box 400 faces downward, so that the ice bodies can be easily separated.

[0081] Figure 4 An exploded view of a water receiving funnel, a funnel bracket, and a mounting seat body in a refrigerator according to some embodiments is shown. Figure 5 A top view of a water collecting funnel in a refrigerator after being installed on a mounting base according to some embodiments is exemplarily shown. Figure 6 An example is shown Figure 5 Cross-sectional view along the AA direction.

[0082] Continue to see Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a water tank 50. The water tank 50 is disposed in the refrigerating chamber 200. The water tank 50 has a water storage cavity for storing water, and the water source can be brought in from outside the refrigerator by the user. The water tank 50 may be disposed on a shelf at the bottom of the refrigerating chamber 200 so as to be closer to the ice maker 40 in the freezing chamber 300, thereby facilitating the transmission of the water source.

[0083] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a mounting seat 60. The mounting seat 60 is disposed in the refrigerating chamber 200, and specifically, may be disposed at the rear side of the water tank 50, and the two are disposed side by side front and back. The mounting seat 60 may be used to set a water receiving funnel 70. The mounting seat 60 is hollow, and a mounting hole 640 is provided on the mounting seat 60, and the mounting hole 640 is connected to the inside of the mounting seat 60.

[0084] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a water receiving funnel 70. The water receiving funnel 70 is in the shape of a funnel, which is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, and has a water inlet end and a water outlet end, and the opening size of the water inlet end is larger than the opening size of the water outlet end. The water inlet end of the water receiving funnel 70 is used to receive water from the water tank 50, and the water outlet end of the water receiving funnel 70 is used to drain water to the ice maker 40, so as to pass the water in the water tank 50 into the ice maker 40 for ice making. By providing the water receiving funnel 70, it is convenient to pass the water required for making a single ice body into the water receiving funnel 70. Since the opening of the water inlet end is large, it is convenient to pass the water source, and since the opening of the water outlet end is small, the circulation speed of the water source can be controlled so that the water source gradually flows into the ice box 400.

[0085] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may include a water pump. The water pump is used to draw water from the water tank 50 to the water inlet end of the water receiving funnel 70, and the water pump may be disposed in the water tank 50.

[0086] In this embodiment, the water pump can be a magnetic pump, the pump body of the magnetic pump can be set in the water tank 50, and the driving component of the magnetic pump can be set inside the mounting seat 60 and arranged opposite to the pump body. The two are driven by magnetic force to drive the pump body to pump the water source to the water inlet end of the water receiving funnel 70.

[0087] In some embodiments, the water receiving funnel 70 can be inserted into the mounting hole 640, and the mounting hole 640 is used to perform preliminary installation and fixation on the water receiving funnel 70. Since the water receiving funnel 70 is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, the outer peripheral wall of the water receiving funnel 70 can be clamped at the mounting hole 640, the water inlet end of the water receiving funnel 70 is located outside the mounting hole 640, and the water outlet end of the water receiving funnel 70 extends into the mounting hole 640 and can be connected to the water injection pipe 420, which passes through the insulation layer of the refrigerator and is connected to the water injection port of the end cover 410.

[0088] Figure 7 The schematic structural diagram of a water receiving funnel according to some embodiments is exemplarily shown. Figure 8 A schematic structural diagram of a mounting base according to some embodiments is exemplarily shown. Fig. 9 A front view of a mount according to some embodiments is illustrated. Fig.10 An example is shown Fig. 9 A partial enlarged view of point B in the middle.

[0089] Continue to see Figures 7 to 10In some embodiments, a clamping portion 700 may be provided on the outer side of the water receiving funnel 70, and the clamping portion 700 protrudes from the outer peripheral wall of the water receiving funnel 70. Correspondingly, a clamping member 620 may be provided on the mounting seat 60. The clamping member 620 may include two clamping arms 630 arranged at intervals, and a limiting channel for the clamping portion 700 to be inserted into is formed between the two clamping arms 630. When installing the water receiving funnel 70, the water receiving funnel 70 is inserted downward into the mounting hole 640, and the clamping portion 700 is inserted into the limiting channel to preliminarily fix the water receiving funnel 70.

[0090] In some embodiments, the clamping member 620 can be disposed on the outer edge of the mounting hole 640 so as to be close to the outer side of the water receiving funnel 70 , so as to facilitate the clamping portion 700 to be clamped into the limiting channel.

[0091] In some embodiments, at least one clamping arm 630 can be elastically deformed in the direction of the other clamping arm 630, so that the two clamping arms 630 clamp the clamping portion 700 in the limiting channel. Through elastic deformation, the elastic force can press the clamping portion 700 against the other clamping arm 630, thereby limiting the water receiving funnel 70 in the axial direction of the mounting hole 640, making the water receiving funnel 70 more firmly and reliably installed in the mounting hole 640. At the same time, when it is necessary to disassemble, the clamping portion 700 can be disengaged from the limiting channel with a little force, and the water receiving funnel 70 can be conveniently disassembled for cleaning.

[0092] In some embodiments, both clamping arms 630 can be elastic arms, and both clamping arms 630 can be elastically deformed in the direction of each other, so as to simultaneously apply elastic force to the clamping portion 700 from both sides to clamp the clamping portion 700 in the limiting channel, so that the water receiving funnel 70 is more stable and reliable when installed, and it can be more difficult for children to accidentally pull out the water receiving funnel 70 after opening the refrigerator. By setting the elastic deformation amount of the two clamping arms 630, the tightness of the clamping portion 700 can be adjusted.

[0093] In some embodiments, the clamping arms 630 may be made of rubber material to be able to be elastically deformed. It is understandable that when the clamping portion 700 is not inserted into the limiting channel, the distance between the two clamping arms 630 may be smaller than the thickness of the clamping portion 700, so that when the clamping portion 700 is inserted, the clamping portion 700 forces the two clamping arms 630 to open outward, so that the clamping arms 630 can generate elastic force on the clamping portion 700 to clamp the clamping portion 700.

[0094] In some embodiments, the clamp arm 630 may include a first section 631. One end of the first section 631 is fixed to the outer edge of the mounting hole 640, and the first section 631 may extend along the axial direction of the mounting hole 640 to form a strip shape.

[0095] In some embodiments, the clamp arm 630 may include a third section 633. The third section 633 may extend along the axial direction of the mounting hole 640, and the third section 633 and the first section 631 are spaced apart. The third sections 633 of the two clamp arms 630 are disposed opposite to each other, and a limiting channel is formed between the third sections 633 of the two clamp arms 630.

[0096] In some embodiments, the clamp arm 630 may include a second section 632. Two ends of the second section 632 are respectively connected to one end of the first section 631 and one end of the third section 633, so that the first section 631, the second section 632 and the third section 633 are connected as a whole. The other end of the third section 633 is suspended to have a large elastic deformation.

[0097] In some embodiments, the second section 632 can be connected to one end of the first section 631 and the third section 633 in the same direction, so that the clamp arm 630 is in an inverted U-shaped structure as a whole. Of course, the second section 632 can also be connected to different ends of the first section 631 and the third section 633, so that the clamp arm 630 is in an N-shape as a whole. By setting the second section 632 connection, a certain distance can be provided between the first section 631 and the third section 633, so that the clamp arm 630 has a certain elastic deformation ability, and after being compressed, it can generate a larger reverse elastic force to clamp the clamping portion 700.

[0098] In some embodiments, a support portion 637 may be connected to a side of the first section 631 that is away from the third section 633. The support portion 637 extends along the axial direction of the mounting hole 640 and has a longer contact area with the first section 631. The support portion 637 is fixed to the outer edge of the mounting hole 640, and the support portion 637 may form a triangular support rib structure to support the first section 631.

[0099] In some embodiments, the side of the third section 633 facing away from the first section 631 can partially protrude outward to form a limiting portion 634. The limiting portion 634 has a limiting surface 635 facing the outer edge of the mounting hole 640, and the top ends of the limiting surfaces 635 of the limiting portions 634 of the two clamping arms 630 are closer than the bottom ends thereof, so that when the clamping portion 700 is clamped into the limiting channel, the clamping portion 700 is clamped between the two limiting surfaces 635, and the limiting surface 635 can further limit the clamping portion 700 from escaping from the limiting channel.

[0100] In some embodiments, the third section 633 and the second section 632 are in arc transition, and the connection between the two forms a transition curved surface. A guide slope 636 connected to the second section 632 is formed on the side of the third section 633 away from the first section 631, and the distance between the bottom ends of the guide slopes 636 of the two third sections 633 is smaller than the distance between the top ends thereof, so that the two guide slopes 636 form a bell mouth, which is convenient for the clamping part 700 to enter the limiting channel along the transition curved surface and the guide slope 636 in sequence when the water receiving funnel 70 is inserted into the installation hole 640, so that the clamping part 700 can be inserted more smoothly, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0101] In some embodiments, a guide rib 710 may be provided on the bottom side of the clamping portion 700. The guide rib 710 extends along the axial direction of the mounting hole 640 to form a long plate shape. When the water receiving funnel 70 is installed, the guide rib 710 extends into the limiting channel along the guide slope 636, which guides the clamping portion 700 so that the clamping portion 700 can be smoothly clamped into the limiting channel.

[0102] In some embodiments, the mounting base 60 may include a mounting base body 600 disposed in the refrigerating chamber 200. The mounting base body 600 is the main structure of the mounting base 60, and the mounting base body 600 may be provided with an opening, and the mounting base body 600 is hollow inside and can be used to place the driving components of the magnetic pump.

[0103] In some embodiments, the mounting seat 60 may include a funnel support. The funnel support is detachably mounted in the opening of the mounting seat body 600. A funnel mounting cavity 611 matching the outer contour of the water receiving funnel 70 is provided inside the funnel support, and a mounting hole 640 can be provided on the funnel support, and the mounting hole 640 is connected with the funnel mounting cavity 611. The water receiving funnel 70 is inserted into the funnel mounting cavity 611 along the mounting hole 640, so that the funnel mounting cavity 611 is used to install and support the water receiving funnel 70, making the water receiving funnel 70 more stable. It is understandable that a water outlet section matching the water outlet end of the water receiving funnel 70 is provided at the bottom of the funnel mounting cavity 611, and the water outlet end of the water receiving funnel 70 extends into the water outlet section and is then connected to the water injection pipe 420.

[0104] In some embodiments, by providing a funnel support to install the water receiving funnel 70, it is convenient to provide a funnel installation cavity 611 that matches the shape of the water receiving funnel 70. In some embodiments, the funnel support may not be provided, and the installation hole 640 may be directly opened on the mounting seat body 600 so that the water receiving funnel 70 is installed on the mounting seat body 600.

[0105] In some embodiments, the outer edge of the mounting hole 640 extends outward along the axial direction of the mounting hole 640 to form a fence 650, and the mounting hole 640 is located in the fence 650. The water receiving funnel 70 is arranged in the fence 650, and the fence 650 plays a certain role in limiting and supporting the water receiving funnel 70, which can prevent the water receiving funnel 70 from tipping over.

[0106] In some embodiments, a break may be provided on the enclosure 650 at a position corresponding to the clamping member 620, and the snap-fitting portion 700 passes through the break to snap into the limiting channel. The break may avoid the snap-fitting portion 700 and prevent interference between the enclosure 650 and the snap-fitting portion 700.

[0107] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned clamping parts 700 may be provided on both opposite sides of the water receiving funnel 70. Accordingly, the outer edge of the mounting hole 640 may be provided with the above-mentioned two clamping members 620, and the two clamping members 620 correspond to the two clamping members 700 one by one, so that the two clamping members 700 are clamped in the corresponding limiting channels respectively. By providing two opposite clamping members 700 and clamping members 620, the water receiving funnel 70 can be installed more stably in the mounting hole 640, and the multiple clamping members 620 have a better limiting effect on the water receiving funnel 70, further reducing the probability of being taken out by mistake.

[0108] In summary, in this embodiment, by setting the mounting hole 640, the water receiving funnel 70 is inserted into the mounting hole 640, and the water receiving funnel 70 is initially fixed and limited. At the same time, a clamping part 700 is set on the outside of the water receiving funnel 70, and a clamping member 620 is set on the mounting seat 60. The clamping member 620 includes two clamping arms 630. The elastic deformation ability of the clamping arms 630 forms an elastic buckle structure, and the clamping part 700 is clamped in the limiting channel formed between the two clamping arms 630, so that the water receiving funnel 70 is further connected and fixed. However, due to the use of elastic deformation clamping clamping part 700, the clamping part 700 can be pulled out of the limiting channel with a little force, and the water receiving funnel 70 can be conveniently taken out, so that the water receiving funnel 70 can be easily cleaned, thereby improving the user experience.
