The specific embodiment
As shown in Figure 2, in the present invention, be used for being installed in the inside of the door 10 of refrigerator to the water pot 20 that distributor supplies water.If adopting refrigerator of the present invention is two-door (side by side) refrigerator, so above-mentioned water pot 20 preferably is installed in the inside of refrigerating chamber door 10.
The fetch water distributor 14 of usefulness for the user is equipped with in the front 12 of above-mentioned door 10.This distributor 14 is to be used for taking out water in the refrigerator or ice cube etc., and the structure of this distributor 14 itself is identical with the structure of general distributor.
Above-mentioned water pot 20 is installed in the front 12 of door 10 and the inside of the expanded material thermal insulation layer between the back 13, is connected with above-mentioned distributor 14, can supply to distributor 14 from the water that watering flows out.In addition, heater 24 is equipped with in the place ahead of this water pot 20.This heater 24 can heat above-mentioned water pot 20, can prevent that therefore the water of water pot 20 inside from freezing under the cold air effect of refrigerating chamber inside.
In the present invention, water pot 20 is installed in the front 12 and the expanded material thermal insulation layer between the back side (the door liner) 13 of above-mentioned door.In fact when being installed, this water pot 20 should take into account aspect following two: will make the state that keeps enough low temperature under the effect of the cold air that water pot can be in refrigerating chamber on the one hand, the water of water pot inside can not frozen under the cold air effect in refrigerating chamber.
