Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator, specifically, a refrigerator. BACKGROUND

[0002] For the water using part in the refrigerator, the water using part's water inflow is calculated by the way of flow times time, and the flow is usually a default value, and for different regions, the water pressure may be different, and the water pressure difference of users in different regions when using the refrigerator causes the flow to be different, thereby causing the water inflow calculation to be inaccurate. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The utility model aims at solving one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0004] Therefore, the utility model provides a refrigerator, which comprises a refrigerator body, a water control assembly connected with the refrigerator body, an input end of the water control assembly being used for being connected with a water source, and water outlet pressure of an output end of the water control assembly being target pressure, and a water using part connected with the refrigerator body and communicated with the output end of the water control assembly.

[0005] The water control assembly is installed on the refrigerator body, the input end of the water control assembly is connected with the water source, the water at the water source flows into the refrigerator body after passing through the water control assembly, the water using part is further arranged on the refrigerator body, the water using part is connected with the output end of the water control assembly, and the water flowing out of the output end of the water control assembly flows to the water using part.

[0006] The water control assembly can adjust the water pressure of the water flowing into the water control assembly, so that the water pressure of the water flowing out of the output end of the water control assembly is the target pressure. For different regions, the water pressure at the water source may be different, by installing the water control assembly capable of adjusting the water outlet pressure on the refrigerator, even if the water pressure at the water source is higher than the target pressure or lower than the target pressure, the water control assembly can adjust the water pressure to the target pressure under the condition that the water passes through the water control assembly. In this case, the water pressure flowing to the water outlet part is the target pressure, and under the condition that the target pressure is constant, the flow of the water is also constant. When users in different regions use the refrigerator, the flow flowing to the water using part is the same, and the water using part's water inflow can be calculated accurately according to the way of flow times time, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the conditions that the water inflow of the water using part is too large or too small, and being beneficial to improving the user's experience of using the refrigerator.

[0007] In addition, the refrigerator in the above technical scheme provided by the utility model can also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] In some technical schemes, the water control assembly comprises a pump assembly, the water outlet pressure of the pump assembly is the target pressure, or a valve assembly, the water outlet pressure of the valve assembly is the target pressure.

[0009] The water pump can be used as the water control component, and a water pump with an adjustable water outlet pressure is selected to adjust the water pressure of water flowing into the water pump. After the water at the water source flows into the water pump, the water pressure of water flowing out of the water pump is the target pressure. In addition, the water pump can provide flow power to the water, which is beneficial to improve the water inlet efficiency of the refrigerator.

[0010] Alternatively, the water valve can be used as the water control component, and a water valve with an adjustable water outlet pressure is selected to adjust the water pressure of water flowing into the water valve. After the water at the water source flows into the water valve, the water pressure of water flowing out of the water valve is the target pressure. The cost of the water valve is generally low, which is beneficial to control the production cost of the refrigerator.

[0011] In some technical solutions, the water control component includes: a constant pressure pump; or a first pressure switch and a water pump, the first pressure switch is used to detect the water inlet pressure of the water pump, and the water pump can adjust the water outlet pressure to the target pressure; or a constant pressure valve; or a second pressure switch and a water valve, the second pressure switch is used to detect the water inlet pressure of the water pump, and the water valve can adjust the water outlet pressure to the target pressure.

[0012] The constant pressure pump can be used as the water control component. The constant pressure pump is a pump that can keep the water outlet pressure constant. The flow rate of the constant pressure pump changes with the change of external resistance or load. Regardless of the input pressure being too large or too small, the water outlet pressure of the constant pressure pump is fixed. The water outlet pressure is kept at a constant set value through the pressure regulation mechanism inside the constant pressure pump.

[0013] Alternatively, the combination of the first pressure switch and the water pump is used as the water control component. The first pressure switch can detect the water inlet pressure of the water pump, and the first pressure switch can transmit the detection result to the controller of the refrigerator. For the selection of the water pump, a pump body capable of adjusting the water outlet pressure of the pump body can be selected, for example, the water pump is a pressure-adjustable water pump. The controller controls the water pump to adjust the water outlet pressure according to the detection result of the first pressure switch. For example, when the water inlet pressure is large, the controller controls the water pump to reduce the water pressure, so that the water outlet pressure of the water pump is the target pressure. When the water inlet pressure is small, the controller controls the water pump to increase the water pressure, so that the water outlet pressure of the water pump is the target pressure.

[0014] Alternatively, the constant pressure valve can be used as the water control component. The constant pressure valve is a valve that can keep the system pressure stable. The opening degree of the valve is adjusted to control the flow rate of the fluid, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the pressure. The water outlet pressure is kept at a constant set value through the pressure regulation mechanism of the constant pressure valve.

[0015] Or, the combination of the second pressure switch and the water valve is taken as a water control assembly, the second pressure switch can detect the water inlet pressure of the water valve, and the second pressure switch can transmit the detection result to the controller of the refrigerator. For the selection of the water valve, a valve capable of adjusting the water outlet pressure thereof can be selected, for example, the water valve is a pressure-adjustable water valve. The controller controls the water valve to adjust the water outlet pressure according to the detection result of the second pressure switch, for example, when the water inlet pressure is large, the controller controls the water valve to reduce the water pressure, so that the water outlet pressure of the water valve is the target pressure. When the water inlet pressure is small, the controller controls the water valve to increase the water pressure, so that the water outlet pressure of the water valve is the target pressure.

[0016] In some technical solutions, the refrigerator further comprises a filter connected between the output end of the water control assembly and the water using part.

[0017] A filter is arranged between the water control assembly and the water using part, the filter can filter the water flowing to the water using part, avoid impurities and bacteria flowing to the water using part, ensure the water cleanliness of the water using part, and help improve the use safety of the refrigerator for users.

[0018] In the direction of water flowing into the refrigerator, the filter is arranged after the water control assembly, that is, the filter is connected with the output end of the water control assembly. Since the water control assembly can adjust the water outlet pressure to the target pressure, the water pressure flowing into the filter is the target pressure. If the water pressure flowing into the filter is too large, the filter may be damaged by the impact, and the filter may be damaged by the impact. Since the water control assembly in the present solution can adjust the water outlet pressure, the filter will not be damaged by the excessive water pressure. Therefore, the refrigerator does not need to additionally install a pressure control component for cooperating with the filter, saves the internal parts of the refrigerator, and simplifies the internal structure of the refrigerator.

[0019] In some technical solutions, the filter is detachably connected between the output end of the water control assembly and the water using part.

[0020] The filter can filter impurities and bacteria in the water. As the filter is used for a long time, the cleanliness of the filter decreases, and the filter may be blocked. When the use time reaches a certain time, the user can detach the filter from the refrigerator body, so as to clean or replace the filter, ensure the filtering effect of the filter on the water, and ensure the water cleanliness of the user. The filter will not affect the water flow through the filter due to the blockage, and the water inlet of the refrigerator is smooth.

[0021] In some technical solutions, the refrigerator further comprises a controller connected with the refrigerator body, and an output module connected with the controller. When the total water passing time of the filter reaches a target time, the controller controls the output module to output a replacement signal of the filter.

[0022] In the case that the water outlet pressure of the water control assembly is the target pressure, the flow to the filter is a constant value, and in the case that the flow is a constant value, the total water quantity passing through the filter can be obtained according to the total water passing time of the filter.

[0023] When the water passing quantity of the filter reaches the target filter water quantity, the filter needs to be replaced, the controller calculates the multiple water inlet time lengths, determines whether the filter reaches the replacement period, and thus can output a reminder to the user through the output module to remind the user to replace the filter. The user does not need to actively calculate the replacement period of the filter, which is beneficial to improve the user convenience of the refrigerator.

[0024] In the case that the water outlet pressure of the water control assembly is a constant value, the flow passing through the filter is also a constant value, so that the replacement period of the filter can be accurately calculated.

[0025] Exemplarily, a timer can be arranged in the refrigerator, the water inlet time length is determined according to the time difference between the water inlet start time and the water inlet stop time of the water using part, and the sum of the multiple water inlet time lengths is the total water inlet time length.

[0026] Of course, in other technical solutions, a flow meter can also be installed on the water control assembly or the pipeline after the water control assembly, the flow meter is connected with the controller, the flow meter can detect the water flow, and according to the detection result of the flow meter, the controller obtains the total water inlet quantity of the water control assembly in multiple water inlets, so as to determine whether the filter reaches the replacement period.

[0027] In some technical solutions, optionally, the refrigerator further comprises a valve body, the valve body is provided with a water inlet and at least two water outlets, the water inlet is connected with the output end of the water control assembly, the number of the water using parts is at least two, the at least two water using parts are connected with the at least two water outlets in one-to-one correspondence, and the valve body is used for connecting the water inlet and at most one water outlet.

[0028] At least two water using parts can be arranged in the refrigerator body, the at least two water using parts are connected with the valve body, the valve body is provided with at least two water outlets, and one water outlet is connected with one water using part.

[0029] When one water using part starts to use water, the valve body connects the corresponding water outlet and the water inlet, so that the at least two water using parts can be respectively watered at different times, and the situation that the water inlet quantity cannot be accurately calculated due to the simultaneous water inlet of the at least two water using parts is avoided.

[0030] In some technical solutions, optionally, the filter is located between the output end of the water control assembly and the water inlet.

[0031] The filter is installed between the output end of the water control assembly and the water inlet, so that the water flowing into the valve body has been filtered by the filter, avoiding the situation that the valve body is blocked by impurities.

[0032] In some technical solutions, the at least two water using parts include a water receiving part, a refrigeration ice maker and a freezing ice maker.

[0033] The user can take water on the water receiving part, and the refrigerator can also realize the function of a water dispenser. Since the filter filters the water, the user can drink the water flowing out of the water receiving part with confidence.

[0034] The refrigerator body can be provided with a refrigeration ice maker and a freezing ice maker. The ice blocks obtained by the refrigeration ice maker and the freezing ice maker have different hardness and different ice making efficiencies, which is beneficial to meet the use requirements in different scenes.

[0035] In some technical solutions, the water using part includes a water receiving part, and the refrigerator further includes a display panel, which is used to display the water output of the water receiving part.

[0036] The user can take water on the water receiving part, and the refrigerator can also realize the function of a water dispenser. The display panel is arranged on the refrigerator body, and when the user takes water, the display panel can display the water output of the water receiving part, so that the user can know the water taking amount this time.

[0037] The water pressure passing through the water receiving part is the target pressure, and the water output of the water receiving part can be obtained according to the opening time length of the water receiving part. Since the water pressure passing through the water receiving part is a constant value, the accuracy of the display panel in displaying the water output is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] In order to enable the above object, features and advantages of the utility model to be more clearly understood, the following further describes the utility model with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0053] In the following description, a lot of specific details are set forth in order to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model, but the utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, therefore, the protection scope of the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0054] Reference will be made to Figures 1 to 10 The refrigerator according to some embodiments of the present application is described below.

[0055] In combination with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is shown that in some embodiments of the present application, a refrigerator 100 is provided, comprising: a refrigerator body 110, a water control assembly 120 and a water using part 130, the water control assembly 120 is connected with the refrigerator body 110, the input end 1211 of the water control assembly 120 is used for being connected with a water source 300, and the water outlet pressure of the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120 is a target pressure. The water using part 130 is connected with the refrigerator body 110, and the water using part 130 is in communication with the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120.

[0056] The water control assembly 120 is installed on the refrigerator body 110, the input end 1211 of the water control assembly 120 is connected with the water source 300, the water at the water source 300 flows into the refrigerator body 110 after passing through the water control assembly 120, and the water using part 130 is further arranged on the refrigerator body 110. The water using part 130 is connected with the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120, and the water flowing out of the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120 flows to the water using part 130.

[0057] The water control assembly 120 can adjust the water pressure of the water flowing into its own internal part, so that the water flowing out of the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120 has a target pressure. For different regions, the water pressure at the water source 300 may be different. By installing the water control assembly 120 capable of adjusting the water outlet pressure on the refrigerator 100, even if the water pressure at the water source 300 is higher than the target pressure or lower than the target pressure, the water control assembly 120 can adjust the water pressure to the target pressure under the condition that the water passes through the water control assembly 120. In this case, the water pressure flowing to the water outlet part is the target pressure, and under the condition that the target pressure is constant, the flow of the water is also constant. When the users in different regions use the refrigerator 100, the flow flowing into the water using part 130 is the same, and according to the method of multiplying the flow by time to obtain the water consumption, the water consumption calculation of the water using part 130 can be ensured to be accurate, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the conditions that the water inlet amount of the water using part 130 is too large or too small, and being beneficial to improving the use experience of the refrigerator 100 by the user.

[0058] In combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is shown that in some embodiments, the water control assembly 120 comprises: a pump assembly 123, and the water outlet pressure of the pump assembly 123 is the target pressure. Alternatively, the water control assembly 120 comprises: a valve assembly 124, and the water outlet pressure of the valve assembly 124 is the target pressure.

[0059] The water pump 127 can be used as the water control component 120. The water pump 127 with the function of adjusting the outlet water pressure is selected to adjust the water pressure of the water flowing into the water pump 127. After the water at the water source 300 flows into the water pump 127, the water flowing out of the water pump 127 has the target pressure. In addition, the water pump 127 can also provide flow power to the water, which is beneficial to improve the water inlet efficiency of the refrigerator 100.

[0060] Alternatively, the water valve 129 can be used as the water control component 120. The water valve 129 with the function of adjusting the outlet water pressure is selected to adjust the water pressure of the water flowing into the water valve 129. After the water at the water source 300 flows into the water valve 129, the water flowing out of the water valve 129 has the target pressure. The cost of the water valve 129 is generally low, which is beneficial to control the production cost of the refrigerator 100.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 5 In some embodiments, the water control component 120 can include a constant pressure pump 125. The constant pressure pump 125 can be used as the water control component 120. The constant pressure pump 125 is a pump that can keep the outlet water pressure constant. The flow rate of the constant pressure pump 125 changes with the change of external resistance or load. Regardless of the input pressure being too large or too small, the outlet water pressure of the constant pressure pump 125 is fixed. The outlet water pressure is kept at a constant set value through the pressure adjustment mechanism inside the constant pressure pump 125.

[0062] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 7 Alternatively, the water control component 120 can include a first pressure switch 126 and a water pump 127. The first pressure switch 126 is used to detect the inlet water pressure of the water pump 127. The water pump 127 can adjust the outlet water pressure to the target pressure. The combination of the first pressure switch 126 and the water pump 127 is used as the water control component 120. The first pressure switch 126 can detect the inlet water pressure of the water pump 127. The first pressure switch 126 can transmit the detection result to the controller 150 of the refrigerator 100. For the selection of the water pump 127, a pump body that can adjust the outlet water pressure of itself can be selected. For example, the water pump 127 is a pressure-adjustable water pump 127. The controller 150 controls the water pump 127 to adjust the outlet water pressure according to the detection result of the first pressure switch 126. For example, when the inlet water pressure is large, the controller 150 controls the water pump 127 to reduce the water pressure, so that the outlet water pressure of the water pump 127 is the target pressure. When the inlet water pressure is small, the controller 150 controls the water pump 127 to increase the water pressure, so that the outlet water pressure of the water pump 127 is the target pressure.

[0063] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 6As shown, alternatively, the water control assembly 120 comprises a constant pressure valve 122, which can be used as the water control assembly 120. The constant pressure valve 122 is a valve capable of keeping the system pressure stable, and the flow of fluid is controlled by adjusting the opening of the valve, so as to achieve the purpose of stable pressure. Through the pressure regulating mechanism of the constant pressure valve 122, the outlet water pressure is kept at a constant set value.

[0064] As shown in Figure 8 Alternatively, the water control assembly 120 comprises a second pressure switch 128 and a water valve 129. The second pressure switch 128 is used to detect the inlet water pressure of the water pump 127, and the water valve 129 can adjust the outlet water pressure to the target pressure. The combination of the second pressure switch 128 and the water valve 129 is used as the water control assembly 120. The second pressure switch 128 can detect the inlet water pressure of the water valve 129, and the second pressure switch 128 can transmit the detection result to the controller 150 of the refrigerator 100. For the selection of the water valve 129, a valve capable of adjusting the outlet water pressure of itself can be selected, for example, the water valve 129 is a pressure-adjustable water valve 129. The controller 150 controls the water valve 129 to adjust the outlet water pressure according to the detection result of the second pressure switch 128. For example, when the inlet water pressure is large, the controller 150 controls the water valve 129 to reduce the water pressure, so that the outlet water pressure of the water valve 129 is the target pressure. When the inlet water pressure is small, the controller 150 controls the water valve 129 to increase the water pressure, so that the outlet water pressure of the water valve 129 is the target pressure.

[0065] In combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further comprises a filter 140 connected between the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120 and the water using part 130.

[0066] The filter 140 is arranged between the water control assembly 120 and the water using part 130, and the filter 140 can filter the water flowing to the water using part 130, so as to avoid impurities and bacteria flowing to the water using part 130, and ensure the water cleanliness of the water using part 130, which is beneficial to improve the use safety of the refrigerator 100 by the user.

[0067] In the direction along which the water flows into the refrigerator 100, the filter 140 is arranged after the water control assembly 120, that is, the filter 140 is connected with the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120. Since the water control assembly 120 can adjust the water outlet pressure to the target pressure, the water pressure flowing into the filter 140 is the target pressure. If the water pressure flowing into the filter 140 is too large, the filter 140 may be impacted, and the filter 140 may be damaged by the impact. Since the water control assembly 120 can adjust the water outlet pressure in the present scheme, the filter 140 is prevented from being damaged by the water pressure that is too large. In the refrigerator 100, a pressure control component for cooperating with the filter 140 is not additionally arranged, the internal components of the refrigerator 100 are saved, and the internal structure of the refrigerator 100 is simplified.

[0068] In some embodiments, the filter 140 is detachably connected between the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120 and the water using part 130.

[0069] The filter 140 can filter impurities, bacteria and the like in the water. As the filter 140 is used for a long time, the cleanliness of the filter 140 decreases, and the filter 140 may be blocked. When the use time reaches a certain time, the user can detach the filter 140 from the refrigerator body 110, so as to clean or replace the filter 140, ensure the filtering effect of the filter 140 on the water, and ensure the cleanliness of the water used by the user. The filter 140 will not be affected by the water flow passing through the filter 140 due to the blockage, and the water inlet of the refrigerator 100 is ensured to be smooth.

[0070] Exemplarily, the filter 140 is locked between the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120 and the water using part 130 by screws or buckles.

[0071] In combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further includes a controller 150 and an output module 160. The controller 150 is connected with the refrigerator body 110, and the output module 160 is connected with the controller 150. When the total water passing time of the filter 140 reaches a target time, the controller 150 controls the output module 160 to output a replacement signal of the filter 140.

[0072] When the water outlet pressure of the water control assembly 120 is the target pressure, the flow to the filter 140 is a constant value. When the flow is a constant value, the total water passing through the filter 140 can be obtained according to the total water passing time of the filter 140.

[0073] When the water filtration amount of the filter 140 reaches the target water filtration amount, the filter 140 needs to be replaced, the controller 150 calculates the water inflow time length multiple times to determine whether the filter 140 reaches the replacement period, so that the output module 160 can output a prompt to remind the user to replace the filter 140. Through the output module 160, the user is reminded, and the user does not need to actively calculate the replacement period of the filter 140, which is beneficial to improve the user's convenience in using the refrigerator 100.

[0074] Since the service life of the filter 140 can be determined by time under a fixed water pressure, the replacement time of the filter 140 is calculated by the working time of the water control assembly 120, which ensures the authenticity of the replacement period of the filter 140 and improves the user experience.

[0075] In the case where the water outlet pressure of the water control assembly 120 is a constant value, the flow rate through the filter 140 is also a constant value, so that the replacement period of the filter 140 can be accurately calculated.

[0076] Exemplarily, a timer can be arranged in the refrigerator 100, and the water inflow time length is determined according to the time difference between the start and stop of water inflow of the water use part 130. The sum of the water inflow time lengths multiple times is the total water inflow time length.

[0077] Exemplarily, the output module 160 can be a loudspeaker, a display lamp or a wireless transmission module. The loudspeaker reminds the user to replace the filter 140 by sound, the display lamp reminds the user to replace the filter 140 by flashing, constant lighting and the like, and the wireless transmission module can send a reminder signal to the user's mobile phone.

[0078] Of course, in other embodiments, a flowmeter 200 can also be installed on the water control assembly 120 or the pipeline after the water control assembly 120. The flowmeter 200 is connected with the controller 150. The flowmeter 200 can detect the water flow rate. According to the detection result of the flowmeter 200, the controller 150 obtains the total water inflow amount of the water control assembly 120 multiple times, so as to determine whether the filter 140 reaches the replacement period.

[0079] As shown in FIG. 1, Figure 3 In some embodiments, the refrigerator 100 optionally further includes a valve body 170 provided with a water inlet 171 and at least two water outlets 172. The water inlet 171 is connected with the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120. The number of the water use parts 130 is at least two. The at least two water use parts 130 are connected with the at least two water outlets 172 in one-to-one correspondence. The valve body 170 is used to connect the water inlet 171 and at most one water outlet 172 in communication.

[0080] At least two water using parts 130 can be arranged in the refrigerator body 110, and the at least two water using parts 130 are connected with the valve body 170, and the valve body 170 is provided with at least two water outlets 172, and one water outlet 172 is connected with one water using part 130.

[0081] When one water using part 130 starts to use water, the valve body 170 communicates the corresponding water outlet 172 with the water inlet 171, so that the at least two water using parts 130 can respectively enter water at different times, avoiding the situation that the water entering amount cannot be accurately calculated when the at least two water using parts 130 enter water at the same time.

[0082] As shown in Figure 3 some embodiments, optionally, the filter 140 is located between the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120 and the water inlet 171.

[0083] The filter 140 is installed between the output end 1212 of the water control assembly 120 and the water inlet 171, so that the water flowing into the valve body 170 has been filtered by the filter 140, avoiding the situation that the valve body 170 is blocked by impurities. Moreover, by installing the filter 140 before the water inlet 171, it is not necessary to install the filter 140 between the water outlet 172 and the water using part 130, and one filter 140 can realize the water entering filtering function of multiple water using parts 130, reducing the use quantity of the filter 140, and being beneficial to simplify the structure inside the refrigerator 100.

[0084] As shown in Figure 3 some embodiments, optionally, the at least two water using parts 130 include: a water receiving part 131, a refrigeration ice maker 132 and a freezing ice maker 133.

[0085] The user can take water on the water receiving part 131, and the refrigerator 100 can also realize the function of a water dispenser. Since the filter 140 filters the water, the user can drink the water flowing out of the water receiving part 131 with confidence.

[0086] The refrigeration ice maker 132 and the freezing ice maker 133 can be arranged in the refrigerator body 110, and the texture and hardness of the ice blocks obtained by the refrigeration ice maker 132 and the freezing ice maker 133 are different, and the ice making efficiency can also be different, which is beneficial to meet the use requirements in different scenes.

[0087] Exemplarily, the water control assembly 120 can also be a pressure regulating integrated pump. The water inlet outside the refrigerator 100 is regulated by the pressure regulating integrated pump. The water pressure of the water inlet outside the refrigerator 100 into the refrigerator body 110 is a fixed water pressure. The maximum water inlet amount that can be filtered by the filter 140 is calculated by comparing the program of the main board with the standard water quality. The passing time of the maximum water inlet amount is calculated by the pressure regulating integrated pump. Therefore, the water inlet time of the ice maker water inlet amount is calculated according to the different water qualities of different places, so as to ensure the normal use of the ice making function of the ice maker, and calculate the service life of the filter 140 according to the amount of water inlet, so as to prompt the customer to replace the filter 140 and improve the experience of the customer to take water and ice.

[0088] In the case that the water inlet pressure of the ice maker is a fixed value, the ice maker is not easy to cause the occurrence of sticky ice phenomenon, and the ice taking process is not easy to cause the situation that the ice cannot be taken out.

[0089] Adjusting the water pressure of the water inlet outside the refrigerator 100 into the refrigerator 100 to maintain the stability of the water taking amount and the ice maker water inlet amount is beneficial to improve the experience of the user and reduce complaints.

[0090] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in some embodiments, the water taking part 130 includes a water receiving part 131, and the refrigerator 100 further includes a display panel 180 for displaying the water outlet amount of the water receiving part 131.

[0091] The user can take water on the water receiving part 131, and the refrigerator 100 can also realize the function of a water dispenser. The display panel 180 is arranged on the refrigerator body 110. When the user takes water, the display panel 180 can display the water outlet amount of the water receiving part 131, so as to facilitate the user to know the water taking amount this time.

[0092] The water pressure through the water receiving part 131 is a target pressure. According to the opening time length of the water receiving part 131, the water outlet amount of the water receiving part 131 can be obtained. Since the water pressure through the water receiving part 131 is a fixed value, it is beneficial to improve the accuracy of the display panel 180 to display the water outlet amount.

[0093] The water receiving part 131 in the embodiment can be a water receiving nozzle or a water dispenser.

[0094] The refrigerator 100 further includes a door body 190. The display panel 180 in the embodiment is installed on the door body 190.

[0095] As Figure 9 shown, the water at the water source 300 passes through the water control assembly 120, the filter 140 and the valve body 170 in sequence. The water outlet of the valve body 170 can flow to the refrigeration ice maker 132, or flow to the water receiving part 131, or flow to the freezing ice maker 133.

[0096] AsFigure 10 As shown, the refrigerator is connected to the water flow control assembly, the water inlet pressure feedback to the computer board, the computer board feedback signal to the water control assembly, the water control assembly adjusts the water pressure to the set water pressure. The water control assembly feedback to the computer board signal through the water inlet time, calculate the water output, and then reach the filter life time to remind the user to replace the filter.
