The specific embodiment
Describe the present invention now with reference to accompanying drawing.
Figure 10 to 12 is the views that illustrate according to refrigerator of the present invention.Refrigerator 10 comprises refrigerating chamber 20, the refrigerating chamber door 21 that is used for opening and closing refrigerating chamber 20, refrigerating chamber 30 and the refrigerating-chamber door 31 that is used for opening and closing refrigerating chamber 30.Ice maker 40 is installed in the refrigerating chamber 20, and distributor 50 is installed on the refrigerating chamber door 21, and the guidance panel 60 for operation refrigerator 10 is installed on refrigerating chamber door 21, in a side place of distributor 50.
Refrigerator 10 comprises for the flow channel 70 that water is fed to refrigerator 10 from outside watering (not shown).Be formed with the first valve 71, filter 72, second valve 72 and heat exchange unit 74 at flow channel 70.71 controls of the first valve are to the water supply of refrigerator 10, and 72 pairs of water of filter filter, and second valve 73 controls are to the water supply of ice maker 40 and heat exchange unit 74.Water is cooled by the heat exchange in the heat exchange unit 74 that is arranged at refrigerating chamber 30 sides.The cold water that the ice that ice maker 40 is made and heat exchange unit 74 are made is discharged via distributor 50.Heat exchange unit 74 is not must be installed in the refrigerating chamber 30.That is to say, heat exchange unit 74 can be positioned in any part of refrigerator 10, as long as it can make cold water by carry out heat exchange with cold air in refrigerator 10.Here, ice maker 40 can only have ice pan 41.Ice maker 40 can comprise for the ice supply unit (not shown) that automatically ice is transported to distributor 50, and comprise for the breaking device of supplying ice cube and flake ice, such as the cutting knife (not shown).If ice maker 40 only comprises ice pan 41, the user then must be fed to ice the ice bank (not shown) that is connected in distributor 50.
Distributor 50 comprises distributor chamber 51, and distributor chamber 51 is interior concave space.Be formed with for the outlet 52 of discharging cold water on the top of distributor chamber 51, be formed with the outlet 53 for discharging ice in the back of outlet 52, and project into distributor chamber 51 for the housing 54 that exports 53.Be formed with for the push-button switch 55 via outlet 52 discharging cold water on a surface of housing 54.Be formed with for the cushion switch 56 via outlet 53 discharging ice in the rear surface of distributor chamber 51.In the bottom of distributor chamber 51 support portion 57 is installed, can be placed on the support portion 57 such as the container of cup.In outlet 52 and 53, be formed with respectively valve 58 and 59, be used for control cold water and ice from the discharging that exports 52 and 53.Outlet 52, switch 55, outlet 53 and switch 56 arrange from ice maker side 40 along length (highly) direction of refrigerator 10.Outlet 52, switch 55, outlet 53 and switch 56 arrange towards distributor chamber 51 along the depth direction of refrigerator 10.By this structure, as shown in FIG. 11 and 12, the user can be by easily taking out cold water with cup 80 depress switch 55 (rather than operating operation panel 60 and take cup 80 to switch 56 places) via outlet 52.On the other hand, when the user need to ice, he/her was by taking out ice with cup 80 depress switch 56 via outlet 53.The user can be by taking out cold water with switch 55, then by taking out ice with switch 56.That is to say, can easily supply cold water and ice to the user without operating operation panel 60.Outlet 52 is not must be arranged on the top of distributor chamber 51.Outlet 52 can project in the distributor chamber 51 slightly.The outlet 53 that is used for discharging ice can form discharging cold water.In the switch 55 and 56 each all receives the user mechanically mainly by contacting that cup 80 carries out, and this Mechanical Contact is converted into the signal of telecommunication, and with the control module (not shown) of this electrical signal transfer to refrigerator 10.Switch 55 and 56 can be made of mechanical switch, button or bar.Especially, switch 56 can form rod-type.In addition, by revising and/or change the syndeton of ice maker 40, heat exchange unit 74 and distributor 50, can ice and/or cold water via outlet 53 dischargings, and can be via outlet 52 discharging flake ices.
Figure 13 is for the block diagram of explanation according to the method for operating of refrigerator of the present invention.Control module 90 receives the input of button 62-66, operates kind of refrigeration cycle 91, and the running status of refrigerator 10 is presented on the display 61.Control module 90 comes chilled water and ice by controlling the first valve 71 and second valve 72.After making cold water and ice, when control module 90 received input from switch 55, control module 90 was opened the valve 58 of outlet 52 and via outlet 52 supply cold water.When control module 90 received input from switch 56, control module 90 was opened the valve 59 of outlet 53 and via outlet 53 supply ice.
Figure 14 and 15 is the views that illustrate according to another refrigerator of the present invention.The housing 91 that is used for outlet 52 slidably forms and is projected into the front portion of refrigerating chamber door 21.When housing 91 moved, outlet 52 also moved to the front portion.Therefore, can be easily with cold feed to the wide container of Width distributor chamber 51.In this case, for cold water is fed to outlet 52 from flow channel 70 (seeing Figure 10), can form pipeline 92 at the rear side place of outlet 52 to comprise the initial position A of outlet 52.When outlet 52 moved on to the front portion, cold water was fed to pipeline 92 from flow channel 70, then was fed to cup via outlet 52.Flow channel 70 be connected 52 and can connect by the fold flexible pipe.Housing 91 can form and automatically move or move by manual.Housing 91 and housing 54 can mutually combine so that export 52, housing 54, switch 55 and export 53 and can move together.If export 53 and housing 54 disconnect, then export 52, housing 54 and switch 55 can move together.Place, top at housing 91 can form button 93, is used for cold feed to the cup that is placed on the support portion 57.As discussed below, preferably, support portion 57 can be projected into the front portion.
Figure 16 is the view that illustrates according to another refrigerator of the present invention.Support portion 57 slidably forms and is projected into the front portion (seeing Figure 10) of refrigerating chamber door 21.By this structure, expanded the space of distributor chamber 51, and container is supported stably.Traditional distributor has also proposed slidably support portion.Yet according to the present invention, outlet 52 is connected in the dispensing arrangement that is arranged on distributor chamber 51 anterior places.Therefore, the container that can not enter distributor chamber 51 is placed on the outstanding support portion 57, and is stably supplied cold water.
Figure 17 is the view that illustrates according to another refrigerator of the present invention.Be used for the housing 91 of outlet 52 and the front portion (referring to Figure 10) that support portion 57 slidably formed and be projected into refrigerating chamber door 21.By this structure, the space (particularly when guidance panel 60 is arranged on the one side) of the limited distributor chamber 51 of extension width freely, and container can be placed on the support portion 57 and by using button 93 to container supply cold water (referring to Figure 14).If exporting 53 is movably, then button 93 and button 66 form interaction, ice to the container supply so that container can be placed on the support portion 57 and by use button 93.
Figure 18 is the view that illustrates according to another refrigerator of the present invention.Support portion 57 forms and opens and closes distributor chamber 51.This structure has reduced the degree of depth of distributor chamber 51, has expanded the space of distributor chamber 51, has improved the outward appearance of refrigerating chamber door 52, and prevents that children from unnecessarily using distributor 50.
