Description

Refrigerator dispenser

Technical field

The present invention relates to a kind of refrigerator dispenser, more particularly, relate to a kind of pan straddle and be arranged in the water supply portion, adjust container with the distance between the feed pipe according to the size of container, the distributer for refrigerator that when supplying water, can provide convenience oscilaltion.

Background technology

Generally, refrigerator is separated into the refrigerating chamber of preserving ice maker container and frozen food below design temperature and the refrigerating chamber of placing the refrigeration thing.Portion is provided with freezing cycle device within it, compresses, the freeze cycle of condensation, expansion, evaporation, and utilizes the evaporimeter in the closed circuit to absorb outside heat, keeps inner freezing, frozen state.

The nearest large-scale refrigerator of releasing has and does not open door of refrigerator and also can take out the inner ice cube or the water supply portion of water.Because water supply portion has and needn't open the function that door of refrigerator also can take out the ice cube or the water of refrigerator inside, can not only prevent the cooling gas leakage of refrigerator, and the user is easy to use.Water supply portion operated by rotary motion caves in a part to the inside and forms at the lateral surface of door on the door of refrigerator.

The large-scale refrigerator of existing structure is separated the refrigerating chamber of freezing preservation food and the refrigerating chamber of stored refrigerated food with dividing plate as shown in Figure 1, and is opened and closed the inner space of body 1 by the door 2 of front.In addition, supply with outside water by feed pipe 3, the water purifier 12 of process body 1 inside filters, and flow into 14 li of 13 li of ice machines making ice cube or the water tank of storing water purification then.Between water purifier 12 and ice machine 13 and the water tank 14 feed water valve 15 is set, regulates the water yield of the supply system ice maker 13 and water tank 14.

Water tank 14 utilizes feed pipe 3 to be communicated with the 2a of water supply portion on the door of refrigerator 2, and the water of 14 li of water tanks outwards flows out after feed pipe 21 supplies to the 2a of water supply portion.

The 2a of water supply portion is described in detail as follows: the 2a of the water supply portion upside of door 2 fronts is provided with the switch 17 of user's operation, and when user operable switch 17, water tank 14 is opened, and makes water purification pass through feed pipe 3 and outwards flows out.The regulation position fovea superior that feed pipe 3 is located at door falls into the top of the 2a of water supply portion that forms, switch 17 is positioned at the upside of the 2a of water supply portion, therefore works as the user cup is placed in the 2a of water supply portion, makes its contact feed pipe 3, press switch 17 then, cold water flows in the cup by feed pipe 3.

But, in the refrigerator of existing structure, container is placed in the 2a of water supply portion, with feed pipe 3 state of contact water receivings, extremely inconvenience when therefore using than the big container water receiving of the 2a of water supply portion, if in addition use bulk container and enlarge the 2a of water supply portion, when with the small container water receiving time, because distance is far away between container and the feed pipe 3, so the water that flows out splashes around the container.

Summary of the invention

Technical problem to be solved by this invention is, provides distance between a kind of container of adjusting water receiving and the feed pipe, the distributer for refrigerator that can supply water according to the size of cup.

In order to solve the problems of the technologies described above, the technical solution used in the present invention is: a kind of refrigerator dispenser, described refrigerator body forms the inner space of keeping proper temperature, and has a water tank that water can be provided, door is installed in the body front, open and close the body interior space, distributor comprises water supply portion, guide groove, pan straddle, support component; The formation of caving in at the position, front of door of water supply portion, and supply with water in the water tank by the feed pipe that is communicated with water tank; Guide groove is recessed to form in the bottom surface of water supply subordinate side; Pan straddle supports water supply container and also is inserted in the guide groove, moves up and down according to the size of container, adjusts container with the distance between the feed pipe; Support component resiliency supported pan straddle moves up and down it.

Described support component is made up of guide post and spring, and guide post protrudes in the pan straddle bottom and forms; One end of spring sandwiches guide post, the support vessels frame bottom, and the other end is supported on the bottom surface of guide groove.

Be provided with the gathering sill that depression is entered in guide groove bottom surface, can insert guide post in the gathering sill with the guide post correspondence.

The invention has the beneficial effects as follows: distributer for refrigerator of the present invention, pan straddle is supported by elastic support member and moves up and down along guide groove, can adjust with the distance between the feed pipe according to the container size of water receiving, therefore convenient than distributer for refrigerator in the past in the use.

The specific embodiment

Below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments the present invention is described in further detail: for using identical mark, and quote Fig. 1 for other explanation with the identical position of existing structure.

Shown in Fig. 3,4, distributer for refrigerator of the present invention comprises the 2a of water supply portion, guide groove 21, pan straddle 22, support component 23, body 1 usefulness dividing plate is separated into the refrigerating chamber of freezing preservation food and the refrigerating chamber of stored refrigerated food, and utilizes the door 2 of refrigerator front to open and close its inner space; Door 2 is installed in body 1 front opening refrigerating chamber and refrigerating chamber; Recessed certain depth forms the 2a of water supply portion in the front of door 2, and upside forms an end of the feed pipe 3 that is connected with water tank 14, and the water of 14 li of water tanks is flowed out; Guide groove 21 is at the recessed certain depth in the bottom surface of the 2a of water supply portion downside and possess certain area; Pan straddle 22 supports water supply container and is inserted in 21 li of guide grooves, can move up and down according to the size of container; Support component 23 resiliency supported pan straddles 22 move up and down it.

Support component 23 is made up of guide post 24 and spring 25; Guide post 24 protrudes certain-length in pan straddle bottom vertical direction and forms.One end of spring 25 sandwiches guide post 24 support vessels frame bottom, and the other end is supported on the bottom surface 21a of guide groove 21.In addition, the guide groove 21 bottom surface 21a with the guide post correspondence are provided with the gathering sill 26 that certain depth falls in, insertion guide post 24.

In the refrigerator of said structure, water flow into the process of feed pipe 3 with identical in the past, and the process that a therefore following subtend water supply 2a of portion supplies water is elaborated:

As shown in Figure 4, the pan straddle 22 that is inserted in 21 li of guide grooves is positioned at the top side by spring 25 resiliency supported, under this state, small container is placed on pan straddle 22 upper side, and console switch 17 then, and the water of 14 li of water tanks is flow in the small container.

In addition, in the time of pouring in bulk container, apply downward power for pan straddle 22, make it keep the distance that can insert bulk container, then bulk container is placed on above the pan straddle 22, console switch 17 flow in the bulk container water of 14 li of water tanks.

According to distributer for refrigerator of the present invention, the pan straddle 22 that installation moves up and down, can adjust container with distance between the feed pipe 3 of the 2a of water supply portion upper end according to the container size of water receiving, and apply elastic force than the spring 25 of resiliency supported pan straddle 22 according to the size of container, supply water behind the mobile containers support 22.
