[0048] During the process of the refrigerator cooling and refrigerating drinking products, the drinking products will flow in the pipeline. Therefore, after long-term use, stains or residual tastes of the drinking products will remain in the pipeline. Since these pipelines are generally located inside the refrigerator and are difficult to take out, it is not convenient to disassemble them for cleaning. Currently, when cleaning the pipelines, generally, clean water is introduced into the pipelines to wash away the residual stains or residual tastes of the drinking products in the pipelines. It can be understood that the cleaning effect of this cleaning method is poor. Therefore, these pipelines are not easy to clean or the cleaning effect is poor, and the pipelines will affect the taste of the drinking products during subsequent use due to the residual stains or residual odors, reducing the drinking experience of customers.

[0049] For this reason, the embodiments of this application provide a cooling assembly and a refrigerator, which can clean the cooling pipe and the storage tank respectively, are convenient to clean, and have a good cleaning effect. After reinstalling the cooling pipe and the storage tank, it will not affect the drinking products due to the residual stains and residual odors in the pipeline, improving the drinking experience of customers.

[0050] Next, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of this application will be described in detail. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0051] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the cooling assembly 100 provided by the embodiments of this application includes a cooling box 10, a first connecting member 41, a storage tank 20, a cooling pipe 30, and a second connecting member 42.

[0052] The cooling box 10 is provided with a cooling cavity 10a, and a liquid outlet is provided at the bottom of the cooling cavity 10a. The first connecting member 41 is provided with a first connecting channel. The first connecting member 41 is connected to the bottom of the cooling cavity 10a, and the first connecting channel communicates with the liquid outlet. The storage tank 20 is arranged in the cooling cavity 10a. A first pipe 21 is provided at the bottom of the storage tank 20, and a second pipe 22 is provided at the top. The first pipe 21 is detachably connected to the first connecting member 41, and the first connecting channel communicates with the inside of the first pipe 21. The cooling pipe 30 is arranged in the cooling cavity 10a. A third pipe 31 is provided at the bottom of the cooling pipe 30, and a liquid inlet is provided at the top. The second connecting member 42 is provided with a second connecting channel. The two ends of the second connecting member 42 are respectively detachably connected to the second pipe 22 and the third pipe 31, and the second connecting channel communicates with the inside of the second pipe 22 and the inside of the third pipe 31.

[0053] It should be noted that the cooling pipe 30, the second connecting member 42, the storage tank 20 and the first connecting member 41 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom, so that the drinking product can flow along the cooling pipe 30, the second connecting member 42 and the storage tank 20 under the action of gravity, so that the drinking product can be stored after cooling. Moreover, the drinking product can also flow along the storage tank 20, the first connecting member 41 and the liquid outlet, so as to produce a cooled drinking product for people to drink.

[0054] It should be noted that in this application, the storage tank 20 is mainly used for storing the drinking product. Of course, the storage tank 20 can also cool the drinking product to a certain extent to maintain the low temperature of the drinking product and retain the taste of the drinking product.

[0055] In the cooling assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the drinking product can be cooled by the cooling pipe 30 and stored by the storage tank 20 to provide a cooled drinking product. In this application, since the cooling pipe 30 is detachably connected to the storage tank 20 through the second connecting member 42, and the storage tank 20 is detachably connected to the bottom of the cooling cavity 10a through the first connecting member 41, when the cooling pipe 30 and the storage tank 20 need to be cleaned, the cooling pipe 30 can be detached from the second connecting member 42 and taken out of the cooling cavity 10a, then the second connecting member 42 is detached from the storage tank 20, and the storage tank 20 is detached from the first connecting member 41 and taken out of the cooling cavity 10a. Then, the cooling pipe 30 and the storage tank 20 can be cleaned separately. In this way, the cleaning is convenient and the cleaning effect is good. After the cooling pipe 30 and the storage tank 20 are reinstalled, it will not affect the drinking product due to the residual stains and residual odors in the pipeline, improving the drinking experience of customers.

[0056] Such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a cooling liquid, such as a cooled water body, can be placed in the cooling cavity 10a so that the cooling liquid contacts the cooling pipe 30 and the storage tank 20, thereby cooling the drinking product in the cooling pipe 30 and the storage tank 20 and enabling the storage tank 20 to maintain the low temperature of the drinking product.

[0057] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a first sealing ring 411 is provided on the circumferential side of the first connecting member 41. The portion of the first connecting member 41 provided with the first sealing ring 411 is detachably embedded in the first pipe 21 so that the first sealing ring 411 abuts against the inner wall of the first pipe 21. The first sealing ring 411 can maintain the sealed connection between the first pipe 21 and the first connecting member 41, thereby avoiding the escape of the drinking product from the connection position between the two, or avoiding the liquid in the cooling cavity 10a from entering the storage tank 20 and affecting the drinking taste of the drinking product. In this embodiment, when the storage tank 20 needs to be removed from the first connecting member 41, the first pipe 21 can be pulled out from the first connecting member 41 to facilitate the separate cleaning of the storage tank 20. When the storage tank 20 needs to be installed on the first connecting member 41, the first pipe 21 can be sleeved on the portion of the first connecting member 41 provided with the first sealing ring 411 so that the storage tank 20 and the first connecting member 41 are tightly connected, and the drinking product can flow smoothly in the first pipe 21, the first connection channel and the liquid outlet. Of course, in other embodiments, the first pipe 21 can also be embedded in the first connection channel to achieve the connection with the first connecting member 41.

[0058] Exemplarily, the first connecting member 41 is provided with a plurality of first sealing rings 411 arranged at intervals along its axial direction. In this way, after the first pipe 21 and the first connecting member 41 are connected, the sealed connection can be further ensured. Of course, in other embodiments, the first sealing ring 411 can also be a spiral sealing ring spirally wound along the axial direction of the first connecting member 41.

[0059] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a first limiting ring 412 is provided on the circumferential side of the first connecting member 41, and the end of the first pipe 21 abuts against the first limiting ring 412. The first limiting ring 412 can limit the installation position of the storage tank 20. That is to say, when the first pipe 21 is sleeved downward into the first connecting member 41, the end of the first pipe 21 will abut against the first limiting ring 412, thereby enabling the stable and sealed installation of the storage tank 20 and the first connecting member 41.

[0060] Exemplarily, the first limiting ring 412 is located on the side of the first sealing ring 411 away from the storage tank 20, so that the first pipe 21 can be sleeved on the part of the first connecting member 41 provided with the first sealing ring 411, and the end abuts against the first limiting ring 412.

[0061] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a fourth pipe 13 is provided at the bottom of the cooling cavity 10a. The fourth pipe 13 communicates with the liquid outlet. The fourth pipe 13 is detachably connected to the first connecting member 41, and the inside of the fourth pipe 13 communicates with the first connection channel. The first connecting member 41 can be detached from the fourth pipe 13 as needed, so that the first connecting member 41 and the fourth pipe 13 can also be cleaned. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting member 41 can also be fixed at the bottom of the cooling cavity 10a. When cleaning, only the structure above the first connecting member 41 needs to be detached.

[0062] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the fourth pipe 13 is detachably embedded in the first connection channel. In this way, the first connecting member 41 can be stably installed at the bottom of the cooling cavity 10a to prevent the first connecting member 41 from moving. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting member 41 can also be embedded in the fourth pipe 13 to realize the connection with the fourth pipe 13.

[0063] Exemplarily, the periphery of the fourth pipe 13 abuts against the inner wall of the first connection channel to ensure the sealed connection between the fourth pipe 13 and the first connecting member 41.

[0064] Exemplarily, the bottom of the first connecting member 41 and the first limiting ring 412 abut against the bottom of the cooling cavity 10a. In this way, the stable installation of the first connecting member 41 can be ensured, and further the stable installation of the storage tank 20 can be ensured.

[0065] As Figure 4 and Figure 6 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a second sealing ring 421 is provided on the periphery of the second connecting member 42. The part of the second connecting member 42 provided with the second sealing ring 421 is detachably embedded in the second pipe 22, so that the second sealing member abuts against the inner wall of the second pipe 22. The second sealing ring 421 can maintain the sealed connection between the second pipe 22 and the second connecting member 42, and further prevent the drinking product from escaping from the connection position between the two, or prevent the liquid in the cooling cavity 10a from entering the storage tank 20 and affecting the drinking taste of the drinking product. In this embodiment, the second connecting member 42 can be detached from the second pipe 22 to facilitate cleaning the interface between the second connecting member 42 and the second pipe 22. Of course, in other embodiments, the second pipe 22 can also be embedded in the second connection channel to realize the connection with the second connecting member 42.

[0066] Exemplarily, the second connecting member 42 is provided with a plurality of second sealing rings 421 spaced along its axial direction. In this way, after the second pipe 22 and the second connecting member 42 are connected, the sealed connection can be further ensured. Of course, in other embodiments, the second sealing ring 421 can also be a spiral sealing ring spirally wound along the axial direction of the second connecting member 42.

[0067] Such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the third pipe 31 is detachably embedded in the second connection channel. In this way, the bottom of the cooling pipe 30 can be stably installed on the second connecting member 42. In this embodiment, when it is necessary to remove the cooling pipe 30 from the second connecting member 42, the third pipe 31 can be pulled out of the first connecting member 41, so as to facilitate the separate cleaning of the cooling pipe 30. When it is necessary to install the cooling pipe 30 on the second connecting member 42, the third pipe 31 can be inserted into the second connection channel, so that the bottom of the cooling pipe 30 and the second connecting member 42 are tightly connected, and the drinking product can flow smoothly in the third pipe 31, the second connection channel and the second pipe 22. It can be understood that since the third pipe 31 is inserted into the second connection channel, when the drinking product flows from top to bottom, the drinking product is not likely to escape between the third pipe 31 and the second connecting member 42. Of course, in other embodiments, the second connecting member 42 can also be embedded in the third pipe 31 to realize the connection with the third pipe 31.

[0068] Exemplarily, the circumferential side of the third pipe 31 abuts against the inner wall of the second connection channel to ensure the sealed connection between the third pipe 31 and the second connecting member 42.

[0069] Such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a second limiting ring 422 is further provided on the circumferential side of the second connecting member 42, and a third limiting ring 311 is provided on the circumferential side of the third pipe 31. The two ends of the second limiting ring 422 respectively abut against the end of the second pipe 22 and the third limiting ring 311. When the second connecting member 42 is installed on the second pipe 22, the part of the second connecting member 42 provided with the second sealing ring 421 is inserted into the second pipe 22, and the second limiting ring 422 will abut against the end of the second pipe 22, thereby ensuring the stable and sealed installation of the second connecting member 42 and the storage tank 20. When the bottom of the cooling pipe 30 is connected to the second connecting member 42, the third pipe 31 is inserted into the second connection channel, and the third limiting ring 311 will abut against the second limiting ring 422, thereby ensuring the stable and sealed installation of the cooling pipe 30 and the second connecting member 42. The third limiting ring 311, the second limiting ring 422 and the end of the second pipe 22 can abut in sequence, so that the storage tank 20 and the cooling pipe 30 can be stably installed.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting member 41 includes a silicone connecting member. When connecting the first pipeline 21 through the first connecting member 41, the first connecting member 41 can be inserted into the first pipeline 21 through elastic deformation to further ensure the sealing performance of the connection with the first pipeline 21. In addition, when connecting the fourth pipeline 13 through the first connecting member 41, the first connecting member 41 can also be sleeved on the fourth pipeline 13 through elastic deformation to further ensure the sealing performance of the connection with the fourth pipeline 13.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present application, the second connecting member 42 includes a silicone connecting member. When connecting the second pipeline 22 through the second connecting member 42, the second connecting member 42 can be inserted into the second pipeline 22 through elastic deformation to further ensure the sealing performance of the connection with the second pipeline 22. In addition, when connecting the third pipeline 31 through the second connecting member 42, the third connecting member can also be sleeved on the third pipeline 31 through elastic deformation to further ensure the sealing performance of the connection with the third pipeline 31.

[0072] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the cooling assembly 100 further includes a column 51 and a positioning piece 52. The positioning piece 52 is provided with a positioning hole. One end of the column 51 is connected to the bottom of the cooling cavity 10a, and the other end is connected to the positioning piece 52. The second pipeline 22 passes through the positioning hole. Before disassembling the storage tank 20, it is also necessary to at least detach the positioning piece 52 so that the positioning piece 52 does not block the storage tank 20, facilitating the removal of the storage tank 20. In this embodiment, the positioning hole can allow the second pipeline 22 to pass through, and the positioning piece 52 will be placed on the storage tank 20 to ensure the stable installation and balance of the storage tank 20, making it not easy to tilt, and thus ensuring the overall stable balance of the storage tank 20 and the cooling pipe 30.

[0073] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the cooling assembly 100 further includes a positioning sleeve 53. The positioning sleeve 53 is embedded in the positioning hole, and the positioning sleeve 53 can be sleeved on the second pipeline 22 to stabilize the top of the storage tank 20.

[0074] Exemplarily, the positioning sleeve 53 is provided with a limiting portion 531. The limiting portion 531 is located outside the positioning hole and abuts against the downward side of the positioning piece 52. When the positioning piece 52 is placed on the storage tank 20, the limiting portion 531 can be placed on the storage tank 20, ensuring a stable fit with the storage tank 20.

[0075] Exemplarily, the positioning sleeve 53 includes a silicone positioning sleeve or a sponge positioning sleeve. To avoid scratching or damaging the storage tank 20 when the limiting portion 531 contacts the storage tank 20.

[0076] Exemplarily, the top of the storage tank 20 where it is connected to the second pipe 22 is planar, so that the positioning piece 52 can be stably placed on the storage tank 20, thereby ensuring the stability and balance of the storage tank 20.

[0077] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the other end of the column 51 is detachably connected to the positioning piece 52. In this way, when it is necessary to detach the storage tank 20, the positioning piece 52 can be first detached from the column 51 to take out the positioning piece 52 from the second pipe 22, so that the positioning piece 52 does not block the storage tank 20, facilitating the removal of the storage tank 20.

[0078] Exemplarily, the top of the column 51 is provided with a threaded connection hole, and the positioning piece 52 is provided with a through hole. A hand-tightening screw can pass through the through hole to connect to the threaded connection hole, realizing the stable connection between the positioning piece 52 and the column 51. The hand-tightening screw can facilitate the user to disassemble or install at any time, so as to facilitate the disassembly and installation between the positioning piece 52 and the column 51.

[0079] Exemplarily, one end of the column 51 is fixed to the bottom of the cooling chamber 10a by gluing.

[0080] Of course, in other embodiments, the other end of the column 51 can be detachably connected to the bottom of the cooling chamber 10a. In this way, the column 51 can be directly detached to detach the positioning piece 52 from the second pipe 22.

[0081] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, two columns 51 are provided. The tops of the two columns 51 are both connected to the positioning piece 52 to ensure the stability of the positioning piece 52, and thus the stability of the storage tank 20.

[0082] Exemplarily, the two columns 51 are located on the front and back sides of the cooling chamber 10a to connect the front and back sides of the positioning piece 52.

[0083] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, two cooling structures composed of the first connector 41, the storage tank 20, the second connector 42 and the cooling pipe 30 are provided to correspond to the two liquid outlet holes at the bottom of the cooling chamber 10a. The two cooling structures are located on the left and right sides of the cooling chamber 10a. Through the two cooling structures, a large number of drinking products can be cooled and stored simultaneously, or different drinking products can be cooled and stored simultaneously, improving the convenience of use. Of course, the cooling structures of the present application are not limited to two, and more can also be provided to meet the use requirements.

[0084] Exemplarily, positioning holes are provided at both ends of the above-mentioned positioning piece 52, so as to be able to stably support the tops of the storage tanks 20 of the two cooling structures through the same positioning piece 52 at the same time. Moreover, when it is necessary to clean the two cooling structures, only one positioning piece 52 needs to be detached, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0085] Exemplarily, the above two positioning columns are located between the two cooling structures. In this way, the stable balance of the two cooling structures can be ensured by the positioning columns and the positioning piece 52.

[0086] As Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the cooling box 10 includes a box body 11 and a cover body 12. The top of the box body 11 is open, and the cover body 12 is detachably covered on the top opening of the box body 11 to enclose a cooling cavity 10a with the box body 11.

On the one hand, when supplying the drinking product to customers, the transparency of the drinking product can be ensured to guarantee the quality of the drinking product. On the other hand, the amount of the internal drinking product can also be confirmed to facilitate the user to load the drinking product in time to ensure continuous cold drink supply. In addition, the dirt situation inside the cooling assembly 100 can also be confirmed to facilitate timely cleaning.

[0095] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, in the embodiment of the present application, the side walls on the periphery of the box body 11 are all transparent side walls, so that the user can observe the inside at various positions of the box body 11. For example, the side walls on the periphery of the box body 11 are all made of transparent glass. Of course, according to needs, the transparent side wall can also be only a transparent window opened in a part of the box body 11.

[0096] Exemplarily, double-layer transparent side walls are provided on the side walls around the box body 11 to insulate the cooling cavity 10a and ensure the efficient cooling of the drinking product by the cooling liquid.

[0097] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the entire cooling pipe 30 is a transparent cooling pipe, and the entire storage tank 20 is a transparent storage tank, so as to be able to observe the drinking product in all directions. For example, both the cooling pipe 30 and the storage tank 20 are made of transparent glass. Of course, according to needs, transparent windows can also be opened only in parts of the cooling pipe 30 and the storage tank 20.

[0098] In addition, the above-mentioned upright column 51 is also a transparent upright column 51 to avoid affecting the observation due to the obstruction of the upright column 51.

[0099] As Figure 2 and Figure 8 shown, the refrigerator 1000 in the embodiment of the present application includes a cooling assembly 100.
