[0052] The refrigerator 1 provided by the present application is described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The overall structure of the refrigerator 1 is as follows Figures 1 to 5 shown.

[0053] The refrigerator 1 has a storage compartment constructed therein.

[0054] The storage compartment is typically divided into a freezer compartment 11 and a refrigerator compartment 10. It can also be divided into compartments with special functions, such as a compartment for storing fruits and vegetables. The refrigerator compartment 10 can be maintained at a temperature range of approximately 4°C to store food, medicine, or biological products in a refrigerated state. The freezer compartment 11 can be maintained at a temperature range of approximately -18°C to store food, medicine, or biological products in a frozen state.

[0055] The storage compartment has an opening that can be opened and closed by a refrigerator door 12 hingedly connected to the housing, or by a drawer. When a refrigeration compartment 10 and a freezer compartment 11 are provided, one of the openings can be opened and closed by the refrigerator door 12 (e.g., the refrigeration compartment 10), and the other opening can be opened and closed by a drawer (e.g., the freezer compartment 11).

[0056] Refrigerator 1 uses a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle to generate energy for maintaining the target temperature. The refrigeration cycle consists of a compressor, condenser, throttling device, and evaporator. The refrigeration cycle involves a series of processes, including compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, to cool the storage compartment and maintain the ideal low-temperature storage environment.

[0057] In a vapor compression refrigeration cycle, low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, which compresses it into high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges it. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser, which condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, releasing heat into the surrounding environment.

[0058] The throttling device expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant formed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the throttling device and returns the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator achieves a cooling effect by exchanging heat with the material to be cooled through the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant. In this application, the evaporator exchanges heat with air to form air used to cool the storage compartment, thereby cooling the storage compartment. The throttling device can be a capillary tube.

[0059] A filter is also installed downstream of the condenser to filter impurities from the refrigerant, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the refrigeration unit while reducing the risk of pipe blockage.

[0060] A liquid storage tank can also be installed on the suction side of the compressor. This tank is used to separate the refrigerant gas and liquid. The liquid storage tank is a shell-shaped component. The mixed gas and liquid refrigerant fluid enters the liquid storage tank for basic phase separation. The gas enters the gas channel for gravity sedimentation to separate droplets, while the liquid enters the liquid space to separate bubbles. The gas then flows out of the gas outlet and is drawn into the compressor, preventing the compressor from inhaling liquid and reducing its service life.

[0061] The compressor and condenser can be arranged at the rear lower side of the housing, and the evaporator can be arranged at the position corresponding to the storage compartment on the rear side of the housing. The evaporator and condenser can also be arranged at other positions according to the industrial design of the refrigerator 1, which will not be listed here.

[0062] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator 1 may be a direct cooling refrigerator 1 .

[0063] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator 1 may be an air-cooled refrigerator 1. The location where the evaporator is located has a certain amount of space, allowing air to flow through it. A fan drives the air, which is generated by the evaporator and used to cool the storage compartment, to a target location and draws air from the storage compartment, creating an air circulation system. In one or more embodiments of the present application, the fan includes a refrigeration fan and a freezer fan.

[0064] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator 1 is provided with an ice-making module 13. The ice-making module 13 is used to freeze water supplied from a water supply source into ice cubes and store the ice cubes.

[0065] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the ice-making module 13 utilizes a vapor compression refrigeration cycle to lower the temperature of the ice-making mold so that the water in the ice-making mold freezes.

[0066] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the ice-making mold is made of plastic or metal, and a plurality of ice trays are arranged or formed therein.

[0067] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the ice-making module 13 further includes an ice cube storage box for storing ice cubes demolded from the ice-making mold.

[0068] In one or more embodiments of the present application, an ice taking port of the ice making module 13 is provided on the refrigerator door 12. Ice cubes in the ice storage box can be transported to the ice taking port for use.

[0069] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the ice-making module 13 further includes a heating element for demoulding.

[0070] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the ice-making module 13 further includes an ice-removing mechanism for rotating or flipping the ice-making mold; illustratively, the ice-removing mechanism may be a combination of a motor and a gear.

[0071] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the ice-making module 13 further includes an ice-discharging mechanism for delivering ice cubes to the ice-taking port; illustratively, the ice-discharging mechanism may be a push rod.

[0072] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the ice-making module 13 may also be an ice-making machine disclosed in other prior arts and may be integrated into the refrigerator 1 .

[0073] like Figures 6 to 11 As shown, in one or more embodiments of the present application, the ice making module 13 and the water supply source are connected via a water connection 14 .

[0074] In one or more embodiments of the present application, a water supply valve is further provided between the ice-making module 13 and the water supply source. The water supply valve can be opened, closed or adjust the water inlet according to the water level in the ice-making module 13 .

[0075] In one or more embodiments of the present application, a water filter is further provided in the ice making module 13 .

[0076] In one or more embodiments of the present application, a water filter may be provided between the ice making module 13 and the water supply source.

[0077] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the water channel connector 14 may be a quick-connect connector, a threaded connector, or a clamp connector.

[0078] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the water channel connector 14 may also be other types of water channel connection joints.

[0079] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator 1 further includes a humidity detection module 15 .

[0080] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the humidity detection module 15 is disposed in a water leakage protection cavity 16. The water leakage protection cavity 16 is disposed near the water channel connector 14. The water leakage protection cavity 16 is in fluid communication with the installation area of ​​the water channel connector 14. Water flowing into the water leakage protection cavity 16 from the installation area can flow over the surface of the humidity detection module 15.

[0081] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the humidity detection module 15 is a humidity sensor.

[0082] In the non-leaking state, humidity detection module 15 measures relative humidity by detecting the water vapor content in the surrounding air. In the leaking state, water flowing from the installation area into leak protection cavity 16 flows over the surface of humidity detection module 15. The water droplets cause the humidity sensor's detection element to instantly sense extremely high humidity. Because it is actually measuring the humidity of liquid water, which can even reach saturation, the humidity detected by humidity detection module 15 rises sharply, approaching 100% relative humidity, effectively detecting leaks near water connection 14.

[0083] By setting a humidity detection module 15 in the water leakage protection cavity 16, the present application can timely detect whether water leakage occurs at the water channel connector 14, reduce the damage caused by water leakage to the internal electronic components and other parts of the refrigerator 1, avoid the overflow of accumulated water, improve the user experience and extend the service life of the refrigerator 1.

[0084] In one or more embodiments of the present application, water connection member 14 is embedded in mounting cavity 17; that is, the mounting area of ​​water connection member 14 constitutes mounting cavity 17. This embedded design effectively prevents water connection member 14 from loosening during use, providing greater connection stability. Furthermore, since refrigerator 1 with ice-making module 13 has multiple functions and limited internal space, the embedded mounting structure can save installation space and enhance the overall aesthetics.

[0085] In one or more embodiments of the present application, a guide portion is provided in the water leakage protection cavity 16 .

[0086] The guide portion extends in the water leakage protection cavity 16 to guide water in the installation area to flow toward the water leakage protection cavity 16 and flow through the surface of the humidity detection module 15 .

[0087] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the guide portion is one or more guide grooves. The guide grooves can be designed into different streamlines according to the expected flow path to ensure that water can flow through the surface of the humidity detection module 15 when leaking.

[0088] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the guide portion is one or more guide conduits, which can have different inner diameters and bending angles according to the expected flow path to ensure that water can flow through the surface of the humidity detection module 15 when leaking.

[0089] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the guide portion is a guide plate 18 (also called a guide rib) that extends from the connection between the installation cavity 17 and the water leakage protection cavity 16 into the water leakage protection cavity 16 until it reaches the humidity detection module 15 .

[0090] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the guide plate 18 is partially inclined downward.

[0091] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the guide plate 18 is generally inclined downward.

[0092] When water leakage occurs, the guide plate 18 guides the water in the installation cavity 17 to flow toward the water leakage protection cavity 16 and flow through the surface of the humidity detection module 15 .

[0093] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the humidity detection module 15 is fixedly mounted on a support 19. The support 19 extends in the water leakage protection cavity 16. The support 19 is located below the guide plate 18 to ensure that the water guided by the guide plate 18 flows through the surface of the humidity detection module 15.

[0094] In one or more embodiments of the present application, a water storage cavity 21 is formed below the support portion 19. Water flowing over the surface of the humidity detection module 15 flows through the support portion 19 into the water storage cavity 21. The water flowing through the humidity detection module 15 will be collected in the water storage cavity 21 and naturally evaporate. Because the water only flows over the surface of the humidity detection module 15, only very small water droplets will remain on the surface of the humidity detection module 15. After the water droplets on the surface of the humidity detection module 15 evaporate, the reading of the humidity detection module 15 will return to the actual air humidity. The water droplets will not remain on the surface of the humidity detection module 15 for a long time and will not affect the long-term accuracy and life of the humidity detection module 15.

[0095] In one or more embodiments of the present application, guide plate 18 and support portion 19 (support portion 19 is constructed in the form of a support plate, also known as support ribs) are positioned opposite each other. A portion of support portion 19 (the free end of support portion 19, or also known as tail end 20) is angled downward to guide water flowing over the surface of humidity detection module 15 into water storage cavity 21. Support portion 19 also prevents high-humidity air in water storage cavity 21 from flowing directly toward humidity detection module 15, thereby preventing false alarms.

[0096] In one or more embodiments of the present application, humidity detection module 15 is vertically fixed to support portion 19. The upper edge of humidity detection module 15 is lower than the upper edge of mounting cavity 17. In other words, the overall height of humidity detection module 15 does not exceed the structural height of one side of water connection member 14, thus avoiding increasing the height of refrigerator 1.

[0097] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the water channel connector 14 and the humidity detection module 15 are mounted via a separate mounting component 23. A water leakage protection cavity 16 and a mounting cavity 17 are formed within the mounting component 23. Along the extension of the water channel connector 14, the water leakage protection cavity 16 and the mounting cavity 17 are fluidically connected, forming a strip-shaped connection port 22. This means that if a leak occurs at any point along the length of the humidity detection module 15, the leaked water will likely be guided and flow across the surface of the humidity detection module 15, maximizing the utilization and detection rate of the humidity detection module 15.

[0098] In one or more embodiments of the present application, mounting member 23 is disposed on the top of refrigerator 1. Water connection member 14 is fluidly connected to a water supply source via water supply line 25. Water supply line 25 extends from the rear of refrigerator 1 to the top of refrigerator 1. Water supply line 25 may be a single-tube design or may employ other different waterway designs.

[0099] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator 1 further includes a storage box 24. The storage box 24 is disposed on the top of the refrigerator 1. The mounting member 23 is disposed in the storage box 24. The storage box 24 is also used to accommodate a door connector, which is used to connect the refrigerator door 12. For example, the door connector can be a hinge.

[0100] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator 1 further includes an alarm module. The alarm module is in communication with the humidity detection module 15. The alarm module is configured to generate and output a water leakage warning signal.

[0101] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the alarm module is communicatively connected to the humidity detection module 15 via a processing device.

[0102] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the processing device is a control chip of the refrigerator 1 .

[0103] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the alarm module may be a buzzer or a warning light.

[0104] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the control chip may be a single-chip microcomputer or a system on a chip, and the GPIO interface of the single-chip microcomputer is used to directly drive the buzzer or warning light.

[0105] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the alarm module and the humidity detection module 15 are communicatively connected via a processing device and a wireless communication network.

[0106] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the alarm module can be located in the terminal device, and the wireless network between the terminal device and the processing device can be the Internet, a cellular network, a Wi-Fi network, a low-power wide area network (Low Power Wide Area) based on standards and protocols such as LoRa, Sigfox, NB-IoT, a wide area network, a local area network, etc.

[0107] In one or more embodiments of the present application, the alarm module can be located in the server, and the wireless network between the server and the processing device can be the Internet, a cellular network, a Wi-Fi network, a low-power wide area network (Low Power Wide Area) based on standards and protocols such as LoRa, Sigfox, NB-IoT, a wide area network, a local area network, and the like.

[0108] In one or more embodiments of the present application, in order to reduce power, the humidity detection module 15 can perform detection when the water supply valve is open, and when water leakage is detected, close the water supply valve through the processing device to avoid water accumulation.

[0109] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0110] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to them. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included in the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
