[0028] For the convenience of users, many refrigerator products are provided with a waterway integration device inside the refrigerator. Specifically, the waterways are integrated together so that an external water source can be filtered and supplied to the dispenser and the ice maker. The waterway integration device also facilitates unified fixing and maintenance. However, since the waterway integration device integrates various components together, it occupies too much space.

[0029] In view of this, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a waterway integration device 10 for a refrigerator 100. The refrigerator 100 includes a storage cabinet 20. The waterway integration device 10 includes a carrier plate 11, a filter 12, and a water pipe 13. The carrier plate 11 includes a guide rail surface 111 and a mounting surface 112 that face away from each other. The storage cabinet 20 is slidably disposed on the guide rail surface 111. The filter 12 is connected to the water pipe 13 and is respectively mounted on the mounting surface 112.

[0030] In the waterway integration device 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the storage cabinet 20 is disposed on the guide rail surface 111 of the carrier plate 11, allowing the user to drag the storage cabinet 20 to store or retrieve items. The mounting surface 112 of the carrier plate 11 that faces away from the guide rail surface 111 mounts the filter 12 and the water pipe 13, which can be used to form the waterway system of the refrigerator 100, introduce the external water source of the user, and supply it to the dispenser and the ice maker after filtration. In this way, by pre-integrating the carrier plate 11, the filter 12, and the water pipe 13 in the support box of the storage cabinet 20, on the one hand, the overall installation process of the refrigerator 100 can be simplified, the number and complexity of installation components can be reduced, the manufacturing cost can be lowered, the assembly time of the refrigerator 100 accessories can be shortened, and the production efficiency can be improved; on the other hand, the internal space of the refrigerator liner originally occupied by the waterway integration device 10 is saved, and the available volume of the refrigerator 100 is increased.

[0031] Specifically, the storage locker 20 is the most core component of the refrigerator 100, occupying most of the space inside the refrigerator 100 and used for storing various foods and beverages. The storage locker 20 is designed with multiple compartments, drawers or shelves so that users can classify and store according to the size, shape and type of food. The storage locker 20 can be used in conjunction with guide rails, which can guide the drawers or storage compartments of the storage locker 20 to smoothly enter and exit the refrigerator 100 cabinet, while reducing friction and noise, and protecting the refrigerator 100 cabinet and the storage locker 20 from damage.

[0032] The waterway integration device 10 is mainly used to manage the flow and distribution of the water input by the user in the refrigerator 100. Water enters the waterway integration device 10 of the refrigerator 100 through the interface of the external water pipe 13, and after being purified by the filter 12, it is then sent to components such as the dispenser and ice maker of the refrigerator 100. The dispenser of the refrigerator 100, also known as the ice water dispenser or beverage dispenser, is a device that can automatically dispense cold water, ice cubes or beverages. The dispenser is located at a specific position on the door or inside the refrigerator 100, and users can obtain the required cold water, ice cubes or beverages through simple operations such as pressing a button or pulling a handle. The ice maker has an independent water storage tank and ice making mold, and can continuously and efficiently produce ice cubes.

[0033] The waterway integration device 10 includes a carrier plate 11, a filter 12 and a water pipe 13.

[0034] The carrier plate 11 refers to a flat plate-like component used to support, fix or separate items or components inside the refrigerator 100. The carrier plate 11 needs to have good corrosion resistance, low temperature resistance, good mechanical strength and characteristics that are easy to process and form. The material of the carrier plate 11 can be stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic (such as ABS resin, high impact polystyrene, etc.) and composite materials, etc. The carrier plate 11 of the waterway integration device 10 has two sides, namely the opposite guide rail surface 111 and the mounting surface 112. The guide rail surface 111 is used to support the storage locker 20, and the mounting surface 112 is used to fix or connect components such as the filter 12 and the water pipe 13.

[0035] The filter 12 is usually made of high-efficiency filtering materials such as activated carbon, ceramics, ultrafiltration membranes, etc. The main function of the filter 12 is to filter and purify the water entering the waterway system of the refrigerator 100 to remove impurities, dirt and microorganisms therein, and ensure the safety and purity of the water quality.

[0036] The water pipe 13 in the waterway integration device 10 is a series of pipes connected together, and these pipes can be arranged according to the specific design and functional requirements of the refrigerator 100. The structure of the water pipe 13 may include straight segments, elbows, joints and other parts to guide the water flow to the required positions. The water pipe 13 may be connected to multiple components such as an ice maker and a filter 12 to form a complete waterway circulation system. The material of the water pipe 13 in the waterway integration device 10 needs to have characteristics such as good corrosion resistance, low temperature resistance, high pressure resistance and hygiene. The material of the water pipe 13 can be plastic pipes such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), etc. and stainless steel pipes. These materials can resist the chemical substances and low temperature environment that may exist inside the refrigerator 100, and at the same time ensure the hygienic safety of the water quality.

[0037] The waterway integration device 10 assembles the carrier plate 11, the filter 12 and the water pipe 13 together. The filter 12 is connected to the water pipe 13 and is respectively installed on the installation surface 112 of the carrier plate 11 for forming the waterway of the refrigerator 100. The waterway integration device 10 centralizes the originally scattered water pipes 13, reduces the length of the water pipes 13 originally required, facilitates the waterway commutation, and improves the utilization rate of the internal space of the refrigerator 100.

[0038] When designing the refrigerator 100, it is necessary to reasonably plan the internal space to avoid spatial conflicts between the waterway integration device 10 and the storage locker 20. If the waterway integration device 10 is placed in the main space originally used for storage inside the refrigerator 100, for example, installing the waterway integration device 10 above or below the storage grid on the inner side of the refrigerator 100 door, it may compress the height or depth of the storage grid, thereby affecting the storage capacity of the storage locker 20.

[0039] In response to this, the present application sets the waterway integration device 10 between the drawer of the storage locker 20 and the side wall of the refrigerator 100, and pre-integrates it in the support box body of the storage locker 20, making full use of both sides of the carrier plate 11. One side serves as the guide rail surface 111 to support the storage locker 20, and the other side serves as the installation surface 112 to fix or connect components such as the filter 12 and the water pipe 13 to form a waterway system, skillfully integrating the waterway integration device 10 into the structure of the refrigerator 100 and avoiding excessive influence on the space of the storage locker 20.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the waterway integration device 10 further includes a display and control module 14, and the display and control module 14 can adjust the temperature of the refrigerator 100. The display and control module 14 is installed on the installation surface 112.

[0041] Specifically, the display and control module 14 is equipped with a display screen or an indicator light for displaying information such as the current temperature, working mode, and operating status of the refrigerator 100, enabling users to intuitively understand the working conditions of the refrigerator 100. Users can adjust the temperature settings of the refrigerator 100 through the buttons or knobs on the display and control module 14 to meet different storage requirements. Some advanced display and control modules 14 also support the selection of multiple preset modes such as rapid freezing and energy-saving mode.

[0042] In some embodiments, the display and control module 14 is disposed opposite to and spaced apart from the filter 12.

[0043] The display and control module 14 is mainly responsible for displaying information such as the operating status, temperature settings, and operation interface of the refrigerator 100, and provides an interface for user interaction, such as buttons, touchscreens, etc. The display and control module 14 is an important bridge between the refrigerator 100 and the user, directly related to the user experience and convenience. The display and control module 14 can be combined with the water circuit system of the refrigerator 100, but it still needs to maintain a certain degree of independence and accessibility in the spatial layout. As the user interaction area, the display and control module 14 needs to be clear and easy to operate; while the filter 12, as one of the core components of the water circuit system, needs to maintain a certain degree of concealment and easy maintainability. By setting them opposite and spaced apart, effective isolation and differentiation of the two can be achieved.

[0044] In addition, the relative spaced-apart setting of the display and control module 14 and the filter 12 also helps to improve the safety and reliability of the refrigerator 100. The filter 12 may generate certain noise or vibration during operation. If it is too close to the display and control module 14, it may affect the user experience or pose a safety hazard. By setting them apart, these problems can be avoided.

[0045] In this way, the design of the display and control module 14 being disposed opposite to and spaced apart from the filter 12 in the water circuit integration device 10 not only optimizes the spatial layout and functional partition inside the refrigerator 100, but also improves the safety and reliability of the refrigerator 100.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the carrier plate 11 includes a receiving portion 15 disposed on the mounting surface 112, and the display and control module 14 is located in the receiving portion 15 and is snap-connected to the receiving portion 15.

[0047] The mounting surface 112 of the carrier plate 11 is provided with a receiving portion 15, which is a slot for the waterway integrated device 10 to install the display and control module 14. The receiving portion 15 is located above the filter 12 after installation and has a plurality of buckles. The display and control module 14 has a card slot corresponding to the number of buckles, and the position and shape of the card slot can be closely matched with the buckle to achieve a stable connection. The buckle has a certain elasticity and can be deformed when the display and control module 14 is inserted. When the card slot and the buckle are fully aligned, the buckle can quickly return to its original shape and firmly lock the display and control module 14 in the receiving portion 15.

[0048] In this way, the accommodating portion 15 of the waterway integrated device 10 is firmly connected to the display and control module 14 in a snap-fit ​​manner. The close fit between the card slot and the buckle ensures the stability of the display and control module 14 after installation, and reduces the risk of loosening or falling off due to vibration or impact. The snap-fit ​​connection structure is compact and does not take up too much space. The manufacturing cost of the card slot and the buckle is relatively low, and it is easy to realize automated production. Compared with other fixing methods (such as screw fixing), the snap-fit ​​connection is more convenient. Users can easily complete the installation and removal of the display and control module 14 without using tools, which improves maintenance efficiency.

[0049] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the supporting plate 11 includes a plurality of hooks located on the mounting surface 112 , and the hooks clamp the water pipe 13 on the supporting plate 11 .

[0050] The supporting plate 11 is a key component of the waterway integrated device 10, and its mounting surface 112 is the basic structure for supporting and fixing the filter 12, water pipe 13 and other components. The hook is a special design of the mounting surface 112 of the supporting plate 11, which is used to firmly clamp the water pipe 13 and other components on the supporting plate 11 to ensure that they will not loosen or fall off during operation. There are usually multiple hooks on the supporting plate 11, and these hooks are located at different positions of the mounting surface 112 to accommodate water pipes 13 of different lengths, diameters and directions. The shape and structure of the hook are carefully designed to ensure that it can firmly clamp the water pipe 13. The hook is elastic or adjustable so that it can generate a certain clamping force when inserted into the water pipe 13, and maintain a stable clamping state after the water pipe 13 is fixed.

[0051] Compared with traditional fixing methods such as screw fixing, the hook design simplifies the installation process. The operator only needs to insert the water pipe 13 into the hook to complete the fixation without using additional tools or performing complicated operations. When it is necessary to maintain or replace the water circuit components, the hook design also provides convenience. The operator can easily remove and reinstall the water pipe 13 and other components without worrying about damaging other structures or affecting the operation of the entire water circuit system.

[0052] The carrier plate 11 in the waterway integration device 10 and the hook design thereon are one of the important measures to ensure the stability and reliability of the waterway system. Through reasonable design and installation, components such as the water pipe 13 can be effectively fixed, and the installation and maintenance processes can be simplified.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the carrier plate 11 further includes a limit support 16 protruding from the mounting surface 112, and the filter 12 is disposed on the limit support 16.

[0054] The main function of the limit support 16 is to provide a stable support point for fixing and supporting waterway components such as the filter 12. This helps prevent the filter 12 from shifting or tilting during operation due to vibration, movement, or external forces, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the waterway system. The limit support 16 also has a certain positioning function, which can ensure that components such as the filter 12 can be accurately aligned and fixed in the predetermined position during installation, reducing installation errors and unnecessary adjustments.

[0055] The filter 12 is disposed on the limit support 16 and is connected to the limit support 16 by an appropriate fixing method (such as screws, snaps, etc.). This installation method is both simple and reliable, and can ensure that the filter 12 remains stable during operation.

[0056] The limit support 16 provides a stable support point for components such as the filter 12, reducing the phenomenon of displacement or tilt caused by vibration or external forces.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the waterway integration device 10 includes a filter seat 17, and the filter seat 17 clamps the filter 12 on the mounting surface 112.

[0058] The main function of the filter seat 17 is to provide a stable platform or structure for firmly clamping the filter 12 on the mounting surface 112 of the waterway integration device 10. This fixing method can ensure that the filter 12 will not loosen or fall off during the operation of the refrigerator 100 due to vibration, movement, or external forces.

[0059] The main function of the filter seat 17 is to provide a stable platform or structure for firmly clamping the filter 12 on the mounting surface 112 of the waterway integration device 10. This stable fixing method can ensure that the filter 12 will not loosen or fall off during the operation of the refrigerator 100 due to vibration, movement, or external forces.

[0060] The design of the filter seat 17 can greatly simplify the installation and maintenance process of the filter 12. The user or maintenance personnel only needs to place the filter 12 on the filter seat 17 and perform simple operations according to the instructions to complete the installation. Similarly, when the filter 12 needs to be replaced or cleaned, it can also be easily removed from the filter seat 17 without complicated disassembly work.

[0061] In addition, a buffer plate 18 is provided in the direction of the filter 12 away from the mounting surface 112. The buffer plate 18 and the mounting surface 112 of the carrier plate 11 are on both sides of the filter 12 to reduce the left and right shaking of the filter 12. The buffer plate 18 is installed at a key position on the side of the filter 12. The buffer plate 18 limits the movement of the filter 12 in the horizontal direction through its physical contact and buffer elastic design. This restriction reduces the shaking of the filter 12 caused by equipment vibration or external forces, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the filter 12. Long-term shaking may cause friction between the filter 12 and surrounding components, thereby causing wear and even damage. The buffer plate 18 acts as a barrier to reduce the chance of such direct friction, thereby extending the service life of the filter 12 and the entire waterway integrated device 10. The size and shape of the buffer plate 18 can be customized according to the specific size of the filter 12 and the installation environment. The buffer plate 18 can be made of materials with certain elasticity and durability, such as rubber, silicone or special plastics. These materials can maintain sufficient stability while absorbing impact.

[0062] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, the water pipe 13 includes a water inlet pipe 131 and a water outlet pipe 132 , the filter 12 includes a water inlet 121 and a water outlet 122 , the water inlet pipe 131 is connected to the water inlet 121 , and the water outlet pipe 132 is connected to the water outlet 122 .

[0063] The water inlet pipe 131 is responsible for introducing an external water source (such as tap water, water from a water purifier, etc.) into the water system of the refrigerator 100. It is usually connected to the water inlet interface of the refrigerator 100 and is subjected to necessary sealing and fixing treatment to ensure a stable supply of water and prevent leakage.

[0064] The water outlet pipe 132 is responsible for discharging the filtered water from the water outlet 122 for use by the user or for further processing. The water outlet pipe 132 is usually connected to the outlet of the water system of the refrigerator 100, such as an ice maker, a dispenser, etc.

[0065] The water inlet pipe 131 is connected to the water inlet 121 of the filter 12, so that external water can smoothly enter the filter 12 for purification. The water outlet pipe 132 is connected to the water outlet 122 of the filter 12 to transport the filtered water to other water-using equipment inside or outside the refrigerator 100.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, a fixed slide rail 1111 is provided on the guide rail surface 111, and a movable slide rail that cooperates with the fixed slide rail 1111 is provided on the side wall of the storage cabinet 20.

[0067] The guide rail surface 111 is the flat part of the carrier plate 11 for installing the slide rail. The guide rail surface 111 is provided with a fixed slide rail 1111, which is the basis for the stable installation of the movable slide rail. The fixed slide rail 1111 is the slide rail part fixed on the guide rail surface 111, and the fixed slide rail 1111 has high stability and load-bearing capacity. The design of the fixed slide rail 1111 needs to ensure the fitting accuracy and smoothness with the movable slide rail so as to realize the smooth sliding of the drawer.

[0068] The side wall of the storage cabinet 20 is one of the components of the storage cabinet 20. It bears the weight of the storage cabinet 20 and provides a movable slide rail that cooperates with the fixed slide rail 1111. The movable slide rail is the slide rail part installed on the side wall of the storage cabinet 20. The movable slide rail cooperates with the fixed slide rail 1111 to realize the sliding function of the drawer. The design of the movable slide rail needs to ensure an appropriate gap, smooth sliding and low noise with the fixed slide rail 1111.

[0069] The precise cooperation between the fixed slide rail 1111 and the movable slide rail ensures the smooth sliding of the drawer. This design enables users to easily open and close the drawer when using the refrigerator 100, improving the convenience of use.

[0070] The slide rail material can be plastic, stainless steel, aluminum alloy or cold-rolled steel. Using wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to make the slide rail can reduce the occurrence of wear and corrosion, and can extend the service life of the internal storage structure of the refrigerator 100.
