The ice maker 14 senses whether the ice tray has temperature change through the temperature sensing head of the ice tray to judge whether the ice tray has water, if the ice tray has no temperature change, the ice tray indicates that water is not injected into the ice tray, at the moment, the water injection is automatically stopped, a water injection fault is prompted to a user through the display panel, and the user discharges the fault according to the prompt. One of the water injection failures is pipeline ice blockage, that is, the water outlet of the third pipeline 12 is blocked by freezing under the action of the cold energy of the freezing chamber 40, so that water cannot be injected into the ice making cells, and further ice cannot be made.
When ice blockage occurs, the ice maker starts a thawing program: the ice maker stops water injection, the ice making fan stops rotating at the same time, the temperature of the surface of the water outlet is increased, the heating wire arranged on the outer side of the third pipeline 12 continuously works, ice in the water outlet melts after 180 minutes, and normal ice making is carried out after failure is eliminated.
However, the ice maker cannot start the thawing process immediately after the ice is blocked, the water outlet of the third pipeline 12 needs to be filled with water again at least after being frozen so as to display the water filling fault, the water supply pipeline is blocked at the moment, and after water is filled again, the water is inevitably discharged along the air hole 81 at the upper end of the first pipeline 8 and flows into the refrigerating chamber 20, so that the complaint of users is caused.
In order to solve the problem, as shown in fig. 19 and 20, a water storage mechanism may be sleeved outside the second pipeline 9, the water storage mechanism is communicated with the second pipeline 9, when the water outlet of the third pipeline 12 is blocked by ice, the injected water enters the communicated water storage mechanism from the second pipeline 9, so that the water is prevented from entering the refrigerating chamber 20 from the air hole 81, and the water storage amount of the water storage area formed by the water storage mechanism and the second pipeline 9 is greater than the primary water injection amount of the ice maker. In this example, the amount of water in the ice cube tray is generally 70g, and the water storage amount of the water storage mechanism can be set to 200g by combining with the redundancy design, so that the amount of water injected into the ice cube tray is sufficiently stored, and the water is prevented from overflowing from the air hole 81 into the refrigerating chamber 20 when the water storage amount of the water storage mechanism is insufficient.
After the water outlet of the third pipeline 12 is defrosted by the defreezing procedure, the water in the water storage mechanism flows into the second pipeline 9 communicated with the water storage mechanism, and then flows into the ice cube tray through the third pipeline 12.

When the water hole 94 is arranged, the flow rate of the water hole 94 needs to be larger than the flow rate of the water inlet of the second pipeline 9 in consideration of the reliability of the product, so that when the water outlet of the third pipeline 12 is blocked by ice, water can quickly enter the water storage pipe 93 through the water hole 94, and the water is prevented from overflowing from the air hole 81.
In this example, the water storage pipe 93 is close to the lower end of the second pipeline 9, the lower end of the water storage pipe 93 is in a funnel shape, the water hole 94 is arranged at the funnel position at the lower end of the water storage pipe 93, so as to be close to the connection position of the third pipeline 12 and the second pipeline 9, when the water outlet of the third pipeline 12 is blocked by ice, when water is injected into the water supply pipeline again, after the water is injected into the third pipeline 12, after the water enters the second pipeline 9, the water hole 94 enters the water storage pipe 93 at the lower end of the second pipeline 9, so that the water cannot continuously rise and overflow.
In addition, after the water outlet of the third pipeline 12 is unfrozen, the funnel-shaped structure at the lower end of the water storage pipe 93 is convenient for the stored water to enter the second pipeline 9 through the water hole 94, so that the water in the water storage pipe 93 cannot completely flow out.
The water storage pipe 93 and the second pipeline 9 can be an integrated structure, that is, the water storage pipe 93 and the second pipeline 9 are integrally formed; the water storage tube 93 and the second pipeline may also be assembled structures, that is, the water storage tube 93 and the second pipeline 9 are respectively processed and formed, and then the water storage tube 93 is sleeved outside the second pipeline 9, and the two can be bonded or clamped together.
After the water storage pipe 93 is sleeved outside the second pipeline 9, in order to enhance the strength of the water storage pipe 93, a support rib 95 is additionally arranged between the inner wall of the water storage pipe 93 and the outer wall of the second pipeline 9, and the support rib 95 is used for supporting the fixed water storage pipe 93 and enhancing the stability of the water storage pipe 93.
In this example, the water storage mechanism is not limited to be provided outside the second duct 9, and may be provided outside the upper end of the third duct 12, or may be provided outside the first duct 8, as long as it can store water injected into the water supply line.
The water storage mechanism is not limited to the water storage tube 93, as long as it can temporarily store the water in the water supply pipeline to prevent the water from overflowing from the air hole, and all of them belong to the protection scope of the embodiments of the present application.

As shown in fig. 24 and 25, the water pump 7 extracts water in the water tank 2 and delivers the water to the ice maker through a water delivery pipeline, the water delivery pipeline includes a first pipeline 8, a second pipeline 9, a sealing sleeve 11 and a third pipeline 12, an air hole 81 is formed at the upper end of the first pipeline 8, when the water pump 7 extracts water in the water tank 2, air in the water delivery pipeline is discharged through the air hole 81, and the water enters the ice maker through the first pipeline 8, the second pipeline 9 and the third pipeline 12 in sequence.
However, the water in the third pipe 12 is easy to freeze under the action of the cold energy of the freezing chamber 40, so that the water outlet of the third pipe 12 is blocked by ice. After the water outlet of the third pipeline 12 is blocked by ice, the ice maker cannot start the thawing procedure immediately, water needs to be injected at least once again after the water outlet is frozen so as to display the water injection fault, the pipeline is blocked at the moment, and after water is injected again, the water is inevitably discharged along the air holes and flows into the refrigerating chamber 20, so that the complaint of a user is caused.
In order to solve this problem, the embodiment of the present invention provides a novel water supply pipeline, as shown in fig. 26, a fourth pipeline 31 may be additionally provided between the water tank 2 and the first pipeline 8, an inlet of the fourth pipeline 31 is communicated with an air hole 81 at an upper end of the first pipeline 8, and an outlet of the fourth pipeline 31 is communicated with the water tank 2.

Thus, the air in the water supply pipeline enters the water tank 2 through the fourth pipeline 31, and the water pumped by the water pump 7 is smoothly injected into the ice maker through the first pipeline 8, the second pipeline 9 and the third pipeline 12.
As shown in fig. 27, when the water outlet of the third duct 12 is blocked by ice, the first duct 8, the second duct 9 and the third duct 12 are filled with water, at this time, the air hole 81, the inlet, the fourth duct 31, the outlet and the water tank 2 form a water path, and water pumped by the water pump 7 circulates in the formed water path under the pressure of the water pump 7 until the water outlet of the third duct 12 is thawed, so that water in the water supply line cannot flow into the refrigerating chamber 20 through the air hole after the water supply line is blocked by ice.
The top of water tank 2 is equipped with the mounting hole, and fourth pipeline 31 imbeds in this mounting hole, has realized the installation intercommunication of water tank 2 with fourth pipeline 31. The position where the fourth pipeline 31 is communicated with the water tank 2 is provided with a limiting blocking rib 32, and the limiting blocking rib 32 is abutted to the top end of the water tank 2 and is a mark for the fourth pipeline 31 to be connected in place.
In addition, considering that water cannot be stored in the fourth pipeline 31, the fourth pipeline 31 is designed to be inclined, namely the fourth pipeline 31 is close to the air hole 81, and the distance between the fourth pipeline 31 and the top end of the water pump 7 is gradually increased, so that the pipeline is inclined upwards; the fourth pipe 31 is close to the water tank 2, and the distance from the fourth pipe 31 to the top end of the water tank 2 is gradually reduced, so that the pipe is inclined downward. Thus, when the water outlet of the third pipeline 12 is thawed, the water in the front half part of the fourth pipeline 31 can slide downwards and enter the first pipeline 8 through the air hole 81; the water in the rear half of the fourth pipe 31 can slide down and enter the water tank 2 through the outlet, so that no water is stored in the fourth pipe 31.
In the water supply pipeline provided by the application, the lower end of the first pipeline 8 is positioned below the refrigerating partition plate 29, and the partition plate 29 does not interfere when the exposed part is connected with the second pipeline 9, so that blind operation is reduced, and the installation efficiency is high; the upper end of the second pipeline 9 is provided with a circle of annular boss which plays a role of limiting, is a mark for in-place connection in production and can effectively reduce the water leakage and air leakage caused by improper installation; the material of the second pipeline 9 has certain plasticity, and is not restricted by rigidity in production, so that the installation is convenient; in addition, the second pipeline 9 is made of silver ion-containing materials, so that bacteria and microorganisms in water can be effectively inhibited, and the conditions of peculiar smell, pipe blockage and the like are effectively prevented; the special shape of the sealing sleeve 11 can ensure the sealing between the second pipeline 9 and the third pipeline 12 in the horizontal direction and can also slow down the shaking and collision in the vertical direction; a fourth pipeline 31 is additionally arranged between the air hole 81 at the top end of the first pipeline 8 and the water tank 2, when the water supply pipeline is normal, the water tank 2, the water pump 7 and the water supply pipeline form a water path, the water pump 7, the air hole 81, the fourth pipeline 31 and the water tank form air holes, and ice is normally made after water injection and air exhaust; when the water supply pipeline is blocked by ice, the water pump 7, the air hole 81, the fourth pipeline 31 and the water tank form a water channel, water circulates in the water channel under the pressure action of the water pump 7 until the pipeline is unfrozen, and the problem that water flows into the refrigerating chamber through the air hole after the water supply pipeline is blocked by ice is solved. The arrangement scheme of the water supply pipeline and the structural characteristics of all the parts determine the tightness, smoothness, anti-overflow performance and production operation convenience of the pipeline, and the ice maker 14 is ensured to obtain an equivalent and stable water source.
