Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Refrigeration equipment is an essential household appliance that makes people's lives more convenient and comfortable. However, with the continuous advancement of technology, refrigeration equipment has been given various additional functions in addition to its typical function of long-term preservation and storage of food. As people's living standards continue to improve, domestic residents have begun to have the habit of eating ice, which has led to an increasing demand for household refrigeration equipment with ice-making system functions. For example, when users want to drink cool drinks or cook food, they often need to use ice cubes. Therefore, most refrigeration equipment sold on the market comes with an ice maker for making ice.

[0003] The temperature sensor of the conventional ice-making system is fixed at the bottom of the ice-making machine to sense whether the ice-making machine has water in it. Since the sensor connection line is fixed at the bottom of the ice-making box, the ice-making box cannot be disassembled and cleaned. There are two types of disassembled and washable solutions: one type does not use a temperature sensor. This type of solution has vague control over ice-making, takes a long time to make ice, and cannot sense whether the water in the water box has been used up; the other type uses a sensor that is tied to a water pipe for connection. In this solution, the position of the sensor is not fixed and cannot ensure full contact with the water pipe, resulting in the wrong temperature signal being sent during ice-making, and ice-making abnormalities often occur.

[0004] Therefore, it is a technical problem to be solved urgently to develop a refrigeration device whose ice tray can be disassembled and cleaned, and a pipe fixing clamp device with a special structure is used to fix the sensor in a uniform position, which can ensure that the sensor is in full contact with the water pipe and reduce the risk of the sensor sending an erroneous signal.

[0073] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for realizing different structures of the utility model.

In addition, the utility model provides various specific examples of processes and materials, but those of ordinary skill in the art may be aware of the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0074] The refrigeration equipment in this application, such as Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, it generally includes a box body 110, a door body 120 and a refrigeration system, wherein at least a refrigeration compartment is formed in the box body 110, and the refrigeration compartment is opened and closed through the door body 120 to meet the requirements of storing and retrieving articles.

[0075] The refrigeration system performs a refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration device by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation to achieve refrigeration of the items in the box 110.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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 refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor. The evaporator can cool the items in the cabinet 110 by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, a refrigeration device is provided, such as Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the refrigeration device includes a box body 110 and a door body 120. The door body 120 can be opened or closed relative to the box body 110. An inner tank is formed in the box body 110. The inner tank is divided into a refrigerating chamber 131 and a freezing chamber 132. The door body 120 is used to open or close the inner tank.

[0079] That is, the door body 120 is used to open or close the refrigerating chamber 131 and the freezing chamber 132 .

[0080] Specifically, the number of the door bodies 120 may be determined according to the number of the refrigerating chambers 131 and the freezing chambers 132 .

[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the refrigeration device also has an ice-making function. Therefore, the refrigeration device further includes an ice-making unit 200 .

[0082] The ice maker unit 200 is used to make ice cubes required in life.

[0083] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 8 , Fig.10 As shown, the ice maker unit 200 includes an ice maker assembly 210. The ice maker assembly 210 is used to make ice from water in a water source.

[0084] In order to transfer water from the water source to the ice maker assembly 210 , the ice maker unit further includes a water supply pipe assembly 220 .

[0085] One end of the water supply pipe assembly 220 is communicated with a water source, and the other end of the water supply pipe assembly 220 is communicated with the ice maker assembly 210. Water from the water source is transferred to the ice maker assembly 210 through the water supply pipe assembly 220.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, Fig.10 As shown, the ice maker unit 200 further includes a water supply component 230. The water supply component 230 is used to provide a water source to the water supply pipe assembly 220.

[0087] The water supply component 230 includes a water storage tank, which is specifically installed in the refrigerating chamber 131 and is located in an environment where the temperature range in the box body 110 is above 0 degrees to avoid freezing.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, a water storage chamber is formed in the water tank, and a water treatment device is provided in the water storage chamber for treating the fluid input into the water tank to a certain extent, sterilizing and filtering the fluid to a certain extent, or increasing the minerals in the fluid that are beneficial to the human body, partially desalting, removing hardness, etc.

[0089] In some other embodiments of the present application, Figure 8 As shown, the water source is a water source outside the refrigeration equipment, and the water supply pipe assembly 220 is directly connected to the external water source.

[0090] The ice maker assembly 210 is installed in the freezing chamber 132 and connected to the water supply pipe assembly 220 to make ice cubes from the fluid supplied from the water supply pipe assembly 220 .

[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the water supply pipe assembly 220 includes a water supply pipe 221 , a sensor 222 , and a sensor fixing portion 223 .

[0092] The two ends of the water supply pipe 221 are used for the communication between the water source and the ice maker assembly 210 , so as to realize the water supply from the water source to the ice maker assembly 210 .

[0093] The sensor 222 needs to be placed against the water supply pipe 221 so as to accurately obtain the required information data from the water supply pipe.

[0094] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in order to enable the sensor 222 to stably abut against the target position of the water supply pipe 221, a sensor fixing portion 223 is provided.

[0095] The sensor 222 abuts against a target position of the water supply pipe 221 via the sensor fixing portion 223 .

[0096] Specifically, the sensor fixing portion 223 is disposed along the extending direction of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, the sensor fixing portion 223 includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion.

[0098] The first connection portion and the second connection portion are configured to be connected to each other.

[0099] The first connection portion is connected to the sensor 222 .

[0100] The second connection portion is connected to the water supply pipe 221 .

[0101] The connection between the sensor 222 and the water supply pipe 221 is achieved by connecting the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

[0102] Specifically, the connection between the first connection part and the second connection part is used to limit the sensor 222 on the water supply pipe 221, so as to detect the signal of the water supply pipe.

[0103] The sensor fixing portion 223 is used to position the sensor 222 on the water supply pipe 221 .

[0104] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the first connecting portion includes a receiving portion 2231 , and the receiving portion 2231 is used to receive the sensor 222 .

[0105] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the second connection portion includes a first positioning portion 2232 and a second positioning portion 2233 .

[0106] The first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233 are connected to the water supply pipe 221 at intervals along the extending direction of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0107] Specifically, the first positioning portion 2232 , the second positioning portion 2233 and the water supply pipe 221 are detachably connected.

[0108] Specifically, the first positioning portion 2232 is engaged with the water supply pipe 221 .

[0109] Specifically, the second positioning portion 2233 is engaged with the water supply pipe 221 .

[0110] In some other embodiments of the present application, the second connecting portion may also only include the second positioning portion 2233 .

[0111] The accommodating portion 2231 is connected to the second positioning portion 2233 , so that the sensor 222 is connected to the water supply pipe 221 through the accommodating portion 2231 and the second positioning portion 2233 .

[0112] However, in order to improve the stability of the connection between the sensor 222 and the water supply pipe 221, the first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233 may be used to more stably connect the sensor 222 to the water supply pipe 221.

[0113] Specifically, the detachable connection between the first positioning portion 2232, the second positioning portion 2233 and the water supply pipe 221 may adopt various structural forms such as snap-on connection.

[0114] For example, the first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233 can be bonded to the water supply pipe 221 by using adhesive components. Specifically, some reusable adhesive components are used.

[0115] In order to realize the connection between the first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233, the second connecting portion further includes a connecting component, and two ends of the connecting component are connected to the first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233 respectively.

[0116] Specifically, the connection assembly includes a plurality of connection components 2234. Two ends of the plurality of connection components 2234 are connected to the first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233 respectively.

[0117] A plurality of connection members 2234 are connected between the first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233 at intervals along the circumferential direction of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0118] Specifically, the connecting component 2234 can be a flexible component.

[0119] By using the flexible connecting component 2234 , the relative position between the first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233 can be moved, thereby adapting to the water supply pipe 221 with different extension paths.

[0120] In addition, the flexible connecting component 2234 can be connected to different positions of the water supply pipe 221 , and the relative positions of the first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233 can be adjusted according to the extension direction of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0121] In some embodiments of the present application, the sensor fixing portion 223 is flexible along the extension direction of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0122] In some embodiments of the present application, the connecting component 2234 may be an elastic component.

[0123] Specifically, the connecting component 2234 can be an elastic sheet that can be elastically deformed.

[0124] In some other embodiments of the present application, the connecting component 2234 may also be in the form of a connecting rope or the like, so as to achieve the connection between the first positioning portion 2232 and the second positioning portion 2233 .

[0125] In some embodiments of the present application, there are two connecting components 2234. The two connecting components 2234 are connected to two sides of the water supply pipe 221 respectively.

[0126] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the first positioning portion 2232 includes a first clamping ring 22321. In order to enable the first clamping ring 22321 to be clamped on the water supply pipe 221, a first opening 22322 is opened on the first clamping ring 22321.

[0127] The water supply pipe 221 is inserted into the first clamp ring 22321 through the first opening 22322 , thereby achieving a detachable connection between the water supply pipe 221 and the first clamp ring 22321 .

[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, the first clamping ring 22321 also has a certain amount of elastic deformation. When the water supply pipe 221 is inserted from the first opening 22322 into the first clamping ring 22321, the first opening 22322 is slightly expanded, and after the water supply pipe 221 is inserted into the first clamping ring 22321, the first opening 22322 is tightened, so that the first clamping ring 22321 is stably clamped on the water supply pipe 221.

[0129] Specifically, in order to ensure that the first clamping ring 22321 can be stably clamped on the water supply pipe 221 , the distance that the first clamping ring 22321 extends along the circumference of the water supply pipe 221 must be greater than half of the circumferential length of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0130] Specifically, the length of the first clamping ring 22321 extending along the circumferential direction of the water supply pipe 221 is greater than the length of the first opening 22322 extending along the circumferential direction of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0131] In some embodiments of the present application, the first positioning portion 2232 plays a role in assisting the connection and positioning with the water supply pipe 221. Therefore, the length extending along the length direction of the water supply pipe 221 is relatively short.

[0132] In some embodiments of the present application, the second positioning portion 2233 plays a major role in connection and positioning with the water supply pipe 221. Therefore, the length extending along the length direction of the water supply pipe 221 is relatively long.

[0133] The accommodating portion 2231 is connected to the second positioning portion 2233 .

[0134] Since the accommodation portion 2231 is used to accommodate the sensor 222 , the sensor 222 is connected to the water supply pipe 221 through the second positioning portion 2233 .

[0135] The weight of the sensor 222 is supported and connected to the water supply pipe 221 through the second positioning portion 2233 . Therefore, the second positioning portion 2233 is longer along the extension direction of the water supply pipe 221 , so that the connection between the second positioning portion 2233 and the water supply pipe 221 is more stable.

[0136] Specifically, the second positioning portion 2233 includes two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 which are relatively arranged on both sides of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0137] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 is not less than the diameter of the water supply pipe 221. Thus, it can be ensured that the water supply pipe 221 can be installed between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331.

[0138] In some other embodiments of the present application, the arc-shaped clamping plate 22331 may be an elastic component. In this case, the maximum distance between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 may be equal to the diameter of the water supply pipe 221. When the water supply pipe 221 needs to be installed between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331, the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 are elastic, and the water supply pipe 221 pushes the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 away from each other, so that the water supply pipe 221 is inserted into the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331. When the water supply pipe 221 is inserted into the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331, the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 are clamped on the outside of the water supply pipe 221.

[0139] The two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 are arranged opposite to each other and clamped on two sides of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0140] The accommodating portion 2231 is connected between two oppositely disposed arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 .

[0141] When the water supply pipe 221 is installed between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 , the water supply pipe 221 and the accommodating portion 2231 are surrounded to form an accommodating cavity 22311 , and the sensor 222 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 22311 .

[0142] When the sensor 222 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 22311 and the water supply pipe 221 is installed in the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331, the sensor 222 is positioned against the water supply pipe 221. The sensor 222 can fully contact the water supply pipe 221 to avoid the risk of false signaling during ice making.

[0143] Specifically, the sensor 222 is extended along the length direction of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0144] In some embodiments of the present application, the accommodating portion 2231 includes an accommodating portion body 22311 , and the accommodating portion body 22311 is an arc-shaped bent plate, and both side ends of the arc-shaped bent plate are respectively connected to two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 .

[0145] Specifically, the arc-shaped bending plate is bent to form a columnar structure, a second opening is formed along the length direction of the columnar structure, and two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 are respectively connected to both sides of the second opening.

[0146] The inner wall of the accommodating portion 2231 is designed to be contoured relative to the circumference of the water supply pipe 221 .

[0147] The two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 are designed to be circumferentially contoured with the water supply pipe 221. The accommodating portion 2231 is clamped on the water supply pipe 221 through the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331.

[0148] Since the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 need to be relatively far apart during the process of installing the water supply pipe 221 into the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 , an elastic accommodating portion 2231 may be used so that the water supply pipe 221 can enter between the two and be clamped by the two.

[0149] During the process of inserting the water supply pipe 221 into the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331, the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 drive the second opening of the accommodating portion 2231 to expand. Since the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 are connected on both sides of the second opening, the distance between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 becomes larger, so that the water supply pipe 221 enters into the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331, thereby achieving the two arc-shaped clamping plates 22331 being clamped on the water supply pipe 221.

[0150] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to prevent the sensor 222 from falling out of the accommodating cavity, the accommodating portion 2231 further includes two stopping components 22312 .

[0151] Two stopper components 22312 are respectively arranged at two ends of the accommodating body 22311 to limit the position of the sensor 222 accommodated in the accommodating cavity.

[0152] The stop component 22312 can adopt various structural forms.

[0153] For example, the stopper 22312 provided at the end of the accommodating cavity 22311 away from the first positioning portion 2232 may be provided by connecting the two side walls of the accommodating portion 2231. Since the water supply pipe 221 is provided at an angle, when the sensor 222 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 2231, part of the gravity acts on the stopper 22312 located there. By connecting the two side walls, the stopper 22312 here can have sufficient strength to support the sensor 222.

[0154] In addition, for the end portion of the accommodating cavity 22311 close to the first positioning portion 2232 , the stop member 22312 provided may adopt two separate stop protrusions, and the two separate stop protrusions are respectively provided at the bottom ends of the two side walls of the accommodating portion 2231 .

[0155] The use of two separate stop protrusions can facilitate the end of the sensor 222 to extend from the two stop protrusions to the outside of the accommodating cavity 22311.

[0156] Specifically, the surface of the stop protrusion is an arc-shaped surface to avoid scratches or other damages to the sensor 222 and the like.

[0157] In some embodiments of the present application, an overflow port 22313 is provided on the accommodating portion 2231 .

[0158] Specifically, the overflow port 22313 is provided at the lower end of the accommodating portion 2231, and when water exists in the accommodating portion 2231, the water can be discharged from the overflow port 22313. Thus, the accuracy of the temperature detection by the sensor is ensured.

[0159] In some embodiments of the present application, the ice maker assembly 210 includes a bracket 211, an ice turning motor 212, an ice probe 213, and an ice cube component 214. The ice cube component 214 can be disassembled and cleaned according to customer needs.

[0160] In some embodiments of the present application, the water supply pipe assembly 220 further includes a water pipe heating wire.

[0161] Specifically, the sensor 222 includes a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is used to detect the water temperature in the water supply pipe 221.

[0162] The water supply pipe 221 includes an inclined pipe section, which is located in the freezing chamber 132. In order to prevent the inclined pipe section from freezing, a water pipe heating wire is also provided on the inclined pipe section to heat the straight pipe section.

[0163] The inclined pipe section is fixed in the box body 110 by the bracket 211 to ensure the stability of the position of the inclined pipe section and prevent the inclined pipe section from moving after being stressed, disconnecting from the water supply component 230 or shifting the water supply position.

[0164] In some embodiments of the present application, since the sensor 222 is no longer fixed on the bottom of the ice maker assembly 210, but a separate sensor fixing portion 223 is used to position and connect the sensor 222 to the water supply pipe 221, in this case, the ice cube component 214 is not restricted by the sensor 222, and the ice cube component 214 can be conveniently disassembled for cleaning. In addition, since the sensor 222 can stably rest on the water supply pipe 221, the temperature and other information of the water supply pipe 221 can be conveniently detected. When the water in the water supply component 230 has been used up, a signal can be accurately sent, thereby accurately controlling ice making.

[0165] By providing a sensor fixing portion 223 for positioning the sensor 222 against the water supply pipe 221, the sensor 222 can be stably connected to the water supply pipe 221, and because the sensor 222 is in contact with the water supply pipe 221, the temperature and other information of the water supply pipe 221 can be accurately measured, thereby accurately controlling the ice maker assembly 210 to make ice;

[0166] By providing a first connection portion for connecting with the sensor 222, and by providing a second connection portion for connecting with the water supply pipe 221, the first connection portion is connected with the second connection portion, so as to achieve abutment positioning of the sensor 222 and the water supply pipe 221;

[0167] By adopting the above-mentioned method of positioning the sensor 222 on the water supply pipe 221 through the sensor fixing part 223, instead of connecting the existing sensor 222 to the bottom of the ice tray, the ice tray can be easily disassembled for cleaning and other operations.

[0168] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0169] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by technicians familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
