Referring to fig. 1 and 2, a refrigerator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a freezing chamber 110, an ice maker disposed in the freezing chamber 110, and an ice maker water supply line supplying water to the ice maker.

The water supply line of the ice maker according to the present embodiment is a line for directly supplying water to the ice maker.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in the present embodiment, the water supply line of the ice maker preferably includes an inlet section 130, an intermediate section 140, and a water outlet section 150 connected in sequence.

The inlet section 130 leads from a bottom steel plate 160 of the press compartment of the refrigerator 100 and is connected to the intermediate section 140.

Specifically, the bottom steel plate 160 is provided with an opening 162, and the inlet section 130 passes through the opening 162 to be connected with the middle section 140. The bottom steel plate 160 can be reasonably utilized.

In this embodiment, the inlet section 130 is integrally formed with the intermediate section 140. The inlet section 130 and the intermediate section 140 are of equal diameter. Simple structure, reasonable in design.

Preferably, the housing of the freezing chamber 110 includes an inner wall 102 and an outer wall 104, the middle section 140 is disposed between the inner wall 102 and the outer wall 104, and the distance between the middle section 140 and the outer wall 104 is less than the distance between the middle section 140 and the inner wall 102.

Between the inner wall 102 and the outer wall 104 of the shell of the freezing compartment 110 is a foamed layer, and the intermediate section 140 is disposed between the inner wall 102 and the outer wall 104, that is, the intermediate section 140 is disposed in the foamed layer of the shell of the freezing compartment 110. However, in the present embodiment, since the distance between the middle section 140 and the outer wall 104 is smaller than the distance between the middle section 140 and the inner wall 102, the outer wall 104 is located at room temperature, and the inner wall 102 is located at the temperature of the freezing chamber 110, the middle section 140 is relatively close to the outer wall 104 with higher temperature and relatively far away from the inner wall 102 with lower temperature, so that the risk of icing of the middle section 140 is greatly reduced, water can be smoothly supplied to the ice maker, and reliable operation of the ice maker is ensured.

In the present embodiment, the distance between the intermediate section 140 and the outer wall 104 and the inner wall 102 is the distance between the center line of the intermediate section 140 in the extending direction and the outer wall 104 and the inner wall 102.

In this embodiment, the distance between the intermediate section 140 and the inner wall 102 is more than twice the distance between the intermediate section 140 and the outer wall 104. It is ensured that the intermediate section 140 is sufficiently far from the inner wall 102 that the risk of icing of the intermediate section 140 is substantially reduced.

In the present embodiment, the upstream line of the water supply line of the ice maker is preferably disposed outside the foam layer of the subzero chamber of the refrigerator 100.

The sub-zero compartment of the refrigerator 100 may be the soft freezer compartment 110 or the freezer compartment 110. The upstream pipeline is arranged outside the foaming layer below zero, so that the upstream pipeline can be effectively prevented from being frozen to influence water supply for the ice machine.

In this embodiment, the complete trend of the water path for supplying water to the ice maker is as follows: tap water source, electromagnetic valve, filter and ice maker. The electromagnetic valve is arranged in the press bin, the filter is fixed on the back plate or the refrigerating chamber of the refrigerator 100, and all the components are communicated through a water path, wherein only the middle section 140 of the water supply pipeline of the ice maker is arranged in the foaming layer of the freezing chamber 110, and the distance between the middle section 140 and the inner wall 102 of the freezing chamber 110 is far enough, so that the water supply pipeline of the ice maker is prevented from being frozen; and the upstream pipeline of the water supply pipeline of the ice maker is not arranged in the foaming layer of the freezing chamber 110 and/or the soft freezing chamber 110, so that the icing of the water pipeline is avoided to the greatest extent, the water can be smoothly supplied to the ice maker, and the reliable work of the ice maker is ensured.

Preferably, the intermediate section 140 is parallel to the outer wall 104.

The middle section 140 is parallel to the outer wall 104, so that the distance between each part of the middle section 140 and the inner wall 102 of the freezing chamber 110 is enough, the risk of icing the middle section 140 is greatly reduced, water can be smoothly supplied to the ice maker, and the reliable work of the ice maker is ensured.

Preferably, the middle section 140 extends obliquely upward in the direction of water flow.

The middle section 140 extends obliquely upward in the direction of water flow and provides precise water supply for the ice maker. Specifically, when the control program of the refrigerator 100 stops supplying water to the ice maker, since the middle section 140 extends obliquely upward in the water flow direction, the water in the middle section 140 does not continue to flow to the ice maker due to gravity, preventing the ice maker from overflowing, thereby accurately supplying water to the ice maker.

Preferably, the refrigerator 100 further includes a bracket 170 supporting the middle section 140, and the bracket 170 includes a mounting portion 172, a main body 174, and a supporting portion 176.

Mount 172 secures bracket 170 relative to the housing. In the present embodiment, the mounting portion 172 fixes the bracket 170 relative to the housing by a screw, and those skilled in the art can understand that other fixing manners are possible, and any scheme similar to or the same as that of the present embodiment is included in the protection scope of the present invention.

The main body 174 is provided with a receiving hole 178, the distance between the receiving hole 178 and the outer wall 104 is smaller than the distance between the receiving hole 178 and the inner wall 102, and the middle section 140 passes through the receiving hole 178 and is fixed relative to the housing.

The middle section 140 passes through the receiving hole 178 of the bracket 170 and is fixed relative to the housing, so that the middle section 140 can be prevented from shifting in the foaming process of the refrigerator 100, the distance between the middle section 140 and the inner wall 102 of the freezing chamber 110 can be reliably ensured, the risk of icing the middle section 140 can be greatly reduced, water can be smoothly supplied to the ice maker, and the reliable work of the ice maker can be ensured.

In the present embodiment, the distance between the receiving hole 178 and the outer wall 104 and the inner wall 102 is the distance between the center point of the receiving hole 178 and the outer wall 104 and the inner wall 102.

In the present embodiment, the main body 174 is preferably provided with a plurality of receiving holes 178, and the plurality of receiving holes 178 are aligned in a straight line and parallel to the outer wall 104.

Therefore, in the extending direction of the middle section 140, a plurality of positions of the middle section 140 are fixed relative to the main body 174, which can well prevent the middle section 140 from shifting in the foaming process of the refrigerator 100, thereby reliably ensuring the distance between the middle section 140 and the inner wall 102 of the freezing chamber 110, greatly reducing the risk of icing the middle section 140, smoothly supplying water for the ice maker and ensuring the reliable work of the ice maker.

In particular, the plurality of receiving holes 178 are aligned and parallel to the outer wall 104, so that the entire middle section 140 is parallel to the outer wall 104, thereby ensuring the distance between the entire middle section 140 and the inner wall 102, and greatly reducing the risk of icing of the middle section 140.

In this embodiment, the body 174 and the mounting portion 172 are integrally formed, and thus the structure is simple and the design is rational.

Preferably, the support portion 176 extends in a direction perpendicular to the inner wall 102 and supports the main body 174.

The support portion 176 extends in a direction perpendicular to the inner wall 102 and supports the main body 174, so that the distance between the main body 174 provided with the receiving hole 178 and the inner wall 102 of the freezing chamber 110 can be ensured, the distance between the middle section 140 and the inner wall 102 of the freezing chamber 110 can be ensured, the risk of icing the middle section 140 can be greatly reduced, water can be smoothly supplied to the ice maker, and the reliable operation of the ice maker can be ensured.

In this embodiment, the refrigerator 100 includes a plurality of support parts 176 uniformly spaced apart from each other to better support the main body 174, thereby better supporting the middle section 140 of the water supply line of the ice maker.

In this embodiment, the support portion 176 is engaged with the main body 174, so that the installation is very convenient.

Referring to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the water outlet section 150 and the middle section 140 are preferably disposed at an angle, and the water outlet section 150 extends obliquely downward along the water flow direction.

The intermediate section 140 extends obliquely upward in the direction of water flow to provide precise water supply for the ice making machine, and the water outlet section 150 and the intermediate section 140 are angled such that the water outlet section 150 extends obliquely downward in the direction of water flow to provide water supply for the ice making machine.

In the present embodiment, the diameter of the water outlet section 150 is gradually increased along the water flow direction.

The diameter of the water outlet section 150 gradually increases along the water flow direction, so that the water outlet section 150 inclines downwards to form a flaring shape, and the water outlet of the water outlet section 150 is ensured not to retain water.

Preferably, in this embodiment, the terminal surface 152 of the water outlet section 150 is disposed at an angle to the center line of the water outlet.

The terminal surface 152 is disposed at an angle with respect to the center line, and is perpendicular to the center line with respect to the terminal surface 152, so that the area of the terminal surface 152 is larger, and water can flow out more smoothly.

In the preferred embodiment, the water outlet section 150 terminates in a removable silicone port 180. The terminal face 152 is disposed on the silicone port 180.

Therefore, the silica gel port 180 can be detached from the water outlet section 150, so that the detachment and the maintenance are convenient, and when the ice maker is not used, the silica gel port 180 is prevented from occupying the space of the freezing chamber, and the design is very reasonable.
