[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, the water supply device 102 is provided with the water level detection assembly 1023, and the water level detection assembly 1023 is arranged in the containing space O2 on the back plate 203 of the bracket 1021 in the water supply device 102, so that the space in the water supply device 102 can be reasonably utilized.

[0078] Referring to Figure 9 , Figure 9is a structural schematic diagram of a water supply device in some embodiments of the present application. The water supply device 102 comprises a position detection assembly 1024 arranged on the top cover 202, which is used to detect whether the water container 1022 is placed on the supporting surface A and generate a position indication in response to the water container 1022 being placed on the supporting surface A, or generate a non-position indication in response to the water container 1022 not being placed on the supporting surface A.

[0079] In some embodiments, the water supply device 102 has a manual trigger mode and an automatic trigger mode.

[0080] The position detection assembly 1024 generates a position indication in response to the water container 1022 being placed on the supporting surface A, disables the manual trigger mode in response to the position indication, and enables the automatic trigger mode.

[0081] Alternatively, the position detection assembly 1024 generates a non-position indication in response to the water container 1022 not being placed on the supporting surface A, enables the manual trigger mode in response to the non-position indication, and disables the automatic trigger mode.

[0082] Alternatively, the position detection assembly 1024 generates a non-position indication in response to the water container 1022 not being placed on the supporting surface A, enables the manual trigger mode in response to the non-position indication and the door open indication indicating that the refrigerator door of the refrigerator 101 is in an open state, and disables the automatic trigger mode.

[0083] In some embodiments, the water level detection assembly 1023 and the position detection assembly 1024 are respectively magnetic induction assemblies. Specifically, the position detection assembly 1024 is a first magnetic induction sensor, and the water level detection assembly 1023 is a second magnetic induction sensor. At this time, it is required that the water container 1022 is provided with a first magnet and a second magnet, wherein the position of the second magnet changes synchronously with the water level in the water container 1022. When the water container 1022 is placed on the supporting surface A of the base 201, the first magnet on the water container 1022 can be sensed by the first magnetic induction sensor, so as to determine that the water container 1022 has been placed on the supporting surface A of the base 201. When the water level in the water container 1022 reaches a preset position, the second magnetic induction sensor can sense the second magnet, so as to determine that the water supply to the water container 1022 can be stopped.

[0084] In some embodiments, the water level detection assembly 1023 and the position detection assembly 1024 are located on both sides of the water outlet along a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction.

[0085] In other embodiments, the position detection assembly 1024 can be other types of sensors, such as infrared sensors, which are not limited here.

[0086] The water supply device 102 provided in some embodiments of the present application comprises a position detection assembly 1024, which can detect whether the water container 1022 is placed in the designated position in advance before water injection, so as to avoid the situation that water supply starts when the water container 1022 is not placed in the designated position, and to avoid waste of water source.

[0087] In summary, the refrigerator assembly 10 provided in some embodiments of the present application can place the water supply device 102 in the refrigerator 101, and increase the use scenarios and use functions of the refrigerator 101 and the water supply device 102. In addition, the cooperation between the base 201 on the support 1021 in the water supply device 102 and the storage basket 103 can not only fix the water supply device 102 and the storage basket 103 in the refrigerator 101, but also reduce the occupation of the space in the refrigerator 101.
