[0012] In some embodiments, the pressure-bearing part is provided on the supporting boss.

[0013] In some embodiments, the pressure-bearing part includes a convex arc surface provided on the supporting boss.

[0014] In some embodiments, a pushing arc surface is provided on the pushing portion, and the pushing arc surface abuts against the bearing portion.

[0023] The water tank device and the refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the present application include a bottom frame, a water tank, and a handle, and a bearing portion is provided on the bottom frame. The handle includes a pushing portion, a rotating portion, and a holding portion; the water tank is detachably embedded in the bottom frame, the rotating portion of the handle is rotatably connected to the water tank, and the holding portion and the pushing portion are respectively located on both sides of the rotating portion. Thus, by externally applying a force to push the holding portion, the pushing portion can be deflected; after the pushing portion is deflected to abut against the bearing portion, continuously pushing the holding portion can cause the handle to pry up the water tank with the bearing portion as a fulcrum, thereby amplifying the disassembly operating force by using the lever principle, overcoming the gravity of the water tank and the contact adsorption force between the water tank and the bottom frame, and enabling the water tank to be separated from the bottom frame, reducing the difficulty of disassembling the water tank to a certain extent; on the other hand, by prying up the water tank with the handle assembly based on the cylinder rod principle, the disassembly operation can be realized by operating the holding portion in an area far from the bottom frame, thereby reducing the interference degree with the surrounding structure of the water tank to a certain extent and simplifying the disassembly operation.

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0042] In addition, the present application may repeat reference numerals and / or reference letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific 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.

[0043] Next, the present application will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and with reference to specific embodiments:

[0044] A water tank is provided inside the door body of the refrigerator for refrigerating beverages. During use, it is necessary to disassemble the water tank to clean the water tank or add beverages; however, limited by the height of the water tank, the adsorption resistance between the water tank and the door body, and the interference degree between the water tank and the surrounding structures, the disassembly operation of the water tank is very inconvenient.

[0045] For this reason, the embodiments of the present application provide a water tank device and a refrigerator, aiming to reduce the disassembly difficulty of the water tank and the risk of interference with the surrounding structures during the disassembly operation of the water tank to a certain extent.

[0046] Figure 1 The three - dimensional structure diagram of the water tank device in the embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 2 Shown is Figure 1 the exploded view of the water tank device in Figure 3 Shown is Figure 1 the three - dimensional structure diagram of the chassis of the water tank device in Figure 8 Shown is Figure 1 the schematic diagram of the water tank disassembly principle of the water tank device in

[0047] SeeFigure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 , in some embodiments, the water tank device may include a chassis 1, a water tank 2, and a handle 3. The handle 3 is rotatably connected to the water tank 2. The water tank 2 is detachably embedded in the upper chassis 1, and a pressure-bearing part 11a cooperating with the handle 3 is provided on the chassis 1. The handle 3 can abut against the pressure-bearing part 11a. Thus, the handle 3 can utilize the lever principle to pry up the water tank 1 with the pressure-bearing part 11a as the fulcrum, so that the water tank 2 is separated from the chassis 1.

[0048] The chassis 1 is the installation foundation of the water tank device, accommodating and carrying the water tank 2 and the handle 3, and can install the entire water tank device on the refrigerator door body.

[0049] The water tank 2 is a box-shaped member with a certain accommodation cavity inside, which can accommodate beverages.

[0050] The handle 3 may include a pushing part 31, a rotating part 32, and a holding part 33. The pushing part 31 and the holding part 33 can be arranged on both sides of the rotating part 32. The rotating part 32 is rotatably connected to the water tank 2. Thus, by externally pushing and pulling the holding part 33, the pushing part 31 can deflect around the rotating part 32.

[0051] When the pushing part 31 abuts against the pressure-bearing part 11a, further pushing the holding part 33 will pry up the water tank 2 with the pressure-bearing part 11a as the fulcrum, so that the water tank 2 gradually separates from the chassis 1. The lever principle structure formed by the handle 3 and the pressure-bearing part 11a can reduce the force requirement for the disassembly operation to a certain extent, making it easier to disassemble the water tank. At the same time, when disassembling the water tank, there is no need to directly contact and lift the water tank 2. The disassembly operation of the water tank can be completed by pushing and pulling the holding part 33. Thus, the disassembly operation area can be kept at a certain distance from the water tank and the chassis, reducing the interference risk with the water tank 2 and its surrounding structures, further simplifying the disassembly operation, and improving the convenience of the water tank disassembly operation.

[0052] Figure 4 shows Figure 1 the three-dimensional structure diagram of the water tank and the handle of the water tank device in Figure 5 shows Figure 4 the front view of Figure 6 shows Figure 1 the sectional view of the water tank device in Figure 7 shows Figure 6 the partial enlarged view A of

[0053] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 5 and Figure 7, in some embodiments, in order to balance the fixing reliability of the water tank 2 in the chassis 1 and the stability of the moving posture during the disassembly process, a support boss 11 can be provided on the chassis 1, and a fixing slot 21 can be provided on the water tank 2. When the water tank 2 is embedded in the chassis 1, the support boss 11 is embedded in the fixing slot 21 to support the water tank 2; moreover, the engaging structure between the support boss 11 and the fixing slot 21 can also limit the swaying amplitude of the water tank 2 in the chassis 1 to a certain extent.

[0054] In some embodiments, the fixing slot 21 can be set as a unidirectional open slot, and the support boss 11 is slidably embedded in the fixing slot 21. During the process of installing the water tank 2 into the chassis 1, the support boss 11 can be embedded in the fixing slot 21 and slide along the fixing slot 21 until the water tank 2 is installed in place. During the process of the water tank 2 being removed from the chassis 1, the support boss 11 can gradually slide out of the fixing slot 21 until the support boss 11 completely disengages from the fixing slot 21, and then the water tank 2 can be taken out of the chassis 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, the fixing slot 21 can be set as a downward-opening slot, and the support boss 11 can be vertically embedded in or disengaged from the fixing slot 21, so that the water tank 2 can be vertically installed in or removed from the chassis 1.

[0056] In some embodiments, the fixing slot 21 can be set as an obliquely downward-opening slot, that is, the extending direction of the slot body of the fixing slot 21 forms a certain angle with the vertical direction. During the process of the support boss 11 being embedded in the fixing slot 21, the water tank 2 can be vertically installed in or removed from the chassis 1, and at the same time, a certain distance of horizontal movement can be achieved, thereby reducing the interference risk between the water tank disassembly and assembly operation and the surrounding structure to a certain extent and improving the convenience of installing and removing the water tank 2 from the chassis 1.

[0057] In some embodiments, the support boss 11 can be set as a strip-shaped protrusion, and the slot type of the fixing slot 21 can be set as strip-shaped, so that the fixing slot 21 can leave the support boss 11 along a strip-shaped track, and the water tank 2 also moves along a strip-shaped track, thereby ensuring the stability of the moving posture and direction of the water tank 2 for easy disassembly and maintaining a relatively small interference risk.

[0058] In some embodiments, the relative moving direction of the fixing slot 21 and the support boss 11 can be set to form an angle of 30 to 60 degrees with the vertical direction.

[0059] Therefore, the guiding direction of the strip-shaped support boss 11 forms an angle of 30 to 60 degrees with the vertical direction.

[0060] The guiding direction of the strip-shaped support boss 11 can be set to form an angle of 45 degrees with the vertical direction.

[0061] In some embodiments, the mating structure of the supporting boss 11 and the fixed card slot 21 restricts the bearing water tank 2, making it easy to form a large static adsorption force between the contact surfaces of the supporting boss 11 and the fixed card slot 21, thereby increasing the difficulty for the water tank 2 to separate from the chassis 1.

[0062] To this end, a gap groove 11b can be opened on the contact surface where the supporting boss 11 contacts the fixed card slot 21, so as to form a gap when the supporting boss 11 is embedded in the fixed card slot 21 and reduce the static adsorption force.

[0063] The number of the gap grooves 11b can be set to multiple, thereby reducing the contact surface between the supporting boss 11 and the fixed card slot 21, and to a certain extent reducing the static adsorption area and the difficulty for the water tank 2 to separate from the chassis 1.

[0064] In some embodiments, the gap groove 11b can be opened on the supporting boss 11 or in the fixed card slot 21. The gap groove 11b can also be opened on both the supporting boss 11 and the fixed card slot 21 in a staggered manner.

[0065] In some embodiments, in order to maintain the installation stability of the water tank 2 in the chassis 1, mating locking card slots 21a and locking bosses 11c can be respectively provided on two opposite surfaces of the supporting boss 11 and the fixed card slot 21.

[0066] When the water tank 2 is installed on the chassis 1, the locking boss 11c is embedded in the locking card slot 21a to increase the difficulty for the supporting boss 11 to separate from the fixed card slot 21, thereby increasing the difficulty for the water tank 2 to separate from the chassis 1 to a certain extent.

[0067] During the process of loading the water tank 2 into the chassis 1, the supporting boss 11 moves along the fixed card slot 21 until the locking boss 11c is stably embedded in the locking card slot 21a when the water tank 2 is installed in place. During the process of the water tank 2 separating from the chassis 1, the fixed card slot 21 breaks through the locking pressure of the locking boss 11c embedded in the locking card slot 21a, and then the supporting boss 11 moves along the fixed card slot 21 until the water tank 2 separates from the chassis 1.

[0068] In some embodiments, the top surface of the locking boss 11c can be set to be arc-shaped, and the locking card slot 21a can be set as an arc-shaped groove, so as to take into account both the locking ability and the detachment convenience of the locking boss 11c and the locking card slot 21a, and reduce the risk of jamming between the locking boss 11c and the locking card slot 21a.

[0069] In some embodiments, in order to simplify the structure inside the chassis 1, the pressure-bearing part 11a can be provided on the supporting boss 11. That is, the specifications of the supporting boss 11 are adaptively designed so that the supporting boss 11 has sufficient height to be stably embedded in the fixed card slot 21 and has a certain space to bear the top-pushing part 31.

[0070] In some embodiments, since the pushing portion 31 will deflect relative to the pressure-bearing portion 11a, in order to maintain the smoothness of the contact and pushing between the pushing portion 31 and the pressure-bearing portion 11a, the pressure-bearing portion 11a can be provided as a convex arc surface.

[0071] During the deflection of the pushing portion 31, it will move slightly along the convex arc surface of the pressure-bearing portion 11a, so that the convex arc surface of the pressure-bearing portion 11a can be used to maintain the smoothness of the movement of the pushing portion 31 to a certain extent, reduce the vibration amplitude, thereby reducing the risk of the large-amplitude vibration of the water tank 2 impacting the surrounding structure, and can also limit the splashing amplitude of the remaining drink in the water tank 2, reducing the risk of the drink splashing onto the surrounding structure.

[0072] In some embodiments, a pushing arc surface 31a can also be formed on the pushing portion 31 for mating and abutting against the pressure-bearing portion 11, so that the pushing arc surface 31a can be used to maintain the smoothness of the movement of the pushing portion 31 to a certain extent, reduce the vibration amplitude, thereby reducing the risk of the large-amplitude vibration of the water tank 2 impacting the surrounding structure, and can also limit the splashing amplitude of the remaining drink in the water tank 2, reducing the risk of the drink splashing onto the surrounding structure.

[0073] In some embodiments, considering that the handle 3 needs to bear a certain pressure to push the water tank 2 away from the chassis 1 and taking into account the reliability of the rotational connection, the rotating portion 32 can be pivotally connected to the water tank 2.

[0074] A pivot shaft 22 can be provided on the water tank 2, and a pivot hole 32a can be formed on the rotating portion 32, and the pivot shaft 22 is embedded in the pivot hole 32a, so that the handle 3 rotates around the pivot shaft 22.

[0075] Figure 9 Shows Figure 1 a schematic diagram of the initial storage state of the handle of the water tank device in Figure 10 Shows Figure 1 a schematic diagram of the extreme pushing state of the handle of the water tank device in Figure 11 Shows Figure 1 a schematic diagram of the disassembly and assembly principle of the handle of the water tank device in

[0076] See Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, in order to limit the handle 3 from detaching from the pivot shaft 22, a limiting boss 22a can be provided on the pivot shaft 22, and the limiting boss 22a blocks on the side of the rotating portion 32 away from the water tank 2, thereby preventing the rotating portion 32 from detaching from the pivot shaft.

[0077] In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the rotating part 32, a limiting through groove 32b may be formed on the inner wall of the pivot hole 32a, and the limiting through groove 32b is arranged along the length direction of the pivot hole 32a. When installing the handle 3, the pivot hole 32a and the limiting through groove 32b can be aligned with the pivot shaft 22 and the limiting boss 22a, and then the rotating part 32 can be sleeved on the pivot shaft 22.

[0078] In some embodiments, to reduce the risk of the rotating part 32 disengaging from the pivot shaft 22, a limiting stop 23 may be provided on the water tank 2 to limit the starting and ending positions of the rotation of the handle 3, so that the limiting boss 22a and the limiting through groove 32a are always in a misaligned state, thereby reducing the risk of the limiting boss 22a being aligned with the limiting through groove 32a.

[0079] In some embodiments, the handle 3 may be configured as a U-shaped-like member, with pushing parts 31 respectively arranged at both ends of the U-shaped-like member, and a holding part 33 arranged in the middle region of the U-shaped-like member. The rotating parts 32 are respectively arranged between the pushing parts 31 and the holding part 33. Therefore, there are two rotating parts 32.

[0080] The pivot shafts 22 may also be correspondingly arranged in two, respectively arranged on both sides of the water tank 2, and the handle 3 is sleeved on the two pivot shafts 22 through two pivot holes 32a.

[0081] In some embodiments, an openable top cover 24 may be arranged on the top of the water tank 2 to facilitate the cleaning and filling of beverages.

[0082] In some embodiments, a water valve 25 may also be connected to the water tank 2.

[0083] In some embodiments, the chassis 1 may be configured as a semi-open box frame 12, and the bearing part 11 is arranged on the inner wall of the semi-open box frame 12.

[0084] A water collecting hopper part 12a is arranged at the bottom of the semi-open box frame 12 to collect accidentally splashed water droplets and prevent them from affecting the surrounding structures.

[0085] A positioning cylinder 12b may be formed on the semi-open box frame 12 for installing the positioning water valve 25.

[0086] In some embodiments, a refrigerator is further provided, including a box body, a door body, and the above-mentioned water tank device; the door body 4 is rotatably connected to the box body, and the chassis 1 is arranged inside the door body 4.

[0087] In some embodiments, the chassis 1 may be integrated on the inner door liner 41 of the door body.
