Because screws are required to penetrate through the fixing portions 82 to fasten the fixing housing 80 and the box body 90, in order to prevent the water inlet pipe 11 and the filter water outlet pipe 12 from being damaged during screwing, the fixing housing 80 is provided with a baffle 84 for protecting the water pipe, and the upper side plate 81 is provided with an avoiding groove 83, so that the water inlet pipe 11 and the filter water outlet pipe 12 can penetrate through the bottom of the baffle, namely, a gap between the baffle and the avoiding groove.
In addition, a plurality of fasteners 85 are disposed on the fixed housing 80, and the water outlet pipe 31 of the kettle and the ice-making water supply pipe 21 are respectively connected to the fasteners 85 by fasteners. All the water pipes can be fixed through the fastener 85 on the fixed shell 80, so that the water pipes can walk along the fixed direction, and the possibility of pipe folding of the water pipes is reduced.
Preferably, the waterway integration device further comprises a water valve support 22 fixedly connected to the water valve 20, and the water valve 20 is mounted to the fixed housing 80 through the water valve support 22. And the water valve holder 22 is mounted to the stationary housing 80, both of which may enclose the water valve 20. When the water valve is installed, the water valve 20 is installed on the water valve support 22, and then the water valve support 22 is integrally installed on the fixed shell 80, so that the water valve 20 can be wrapped by the water valve support 22 and the fixed shell 80 from two directions due to installation, the installation process is simple, the water valve 20 can be protected, and the water valve is prevented from being collided or wetted by water.
In addition, as shown in fig. 2, since the water valve 20 is an electromagnetic valve, when the water valve is frequently opened and closed, heat is generated, and in order to prevent the water outlet pipe 31 of the kettle from being too close to the water valve 20 to be burned, a part of the water outlet pipe 31 of the kettle is thermally bent and shaped to bypass the water valve 20 and is fixed by the fastener 85 at the bottom of the fixing housing 80.
As shown in fig. 2, two fixing portions 82 are disposed at the top of the fixing housing 80, and two screws are used to pass through the fixing portions 82 to fasten with the box body 90, two claws 86 are disposed at the bottom of the fixing housing 80, two slots are disposed at positions corresponding to the box body 90, and the assembly with the box body is clamped in the slots by the two claws 86 at the bottom of the fixing housing 80. Meanwhile, a front cover is arranged, the fixed shell 80 is decorated by the front cover, and the water valve and the kettle can be wrapped in the fixed shell. The front cover and the fixed shell 80 are fastened by screws, so that the front cover can not be detached without using tools by a user, and the use safety is ensured.
As shown in fig. 5 to 9, in the second embodiment of the present invention, unlike the first embodiment, the filter 100, the water bottle 300, and the water valve 200 are mounted to the fixing housing 800, and the fixing housing 800 wraps the filter 100 and the water valve 200. The water inlet pipe 11, the water outlet pipe 31, the ice-making water supply pipe 21 and the water pipe installation structure 92 in the second embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and are not described again.
As shown in fig. 5, the water bottle 300 includes a proximal end 310 and a distal end 320 that are opposite to each other in a length direction, the proximal end 310 of the water bottle 300 is detachably connected to the water valve 200 through a water inlet assembly 400, and the distal end 310 of the water bottle 300 is detachably connected to the filter 100 through a distal end locking assembly 500. The water inlet assembly 400 of the water jug includes a rotation axis perpendicular to the length direction of the water jug 300. When the distal end clamping assembly 500 is in a snap-fit connection, the water inlet assembly 400 is locked in the axial direction of the rotating shaft. When the water inlet assembly 400 is disengaged in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, the distal clamping assembly 500 is released from the clamping connection.
In the waterway integration device disclosed in the second embodiment of the present invention, one end of the kettle 300 is detachably connected to the water valve 200 through the kettle inlet assembly 400, and the other end is detachably connected to the filter 100 through the distal end clamping assembly 500, so that when the distal end clamping assembly 500 is fastened, the kettle inlet assembly 400 is also locked and connected, and the kettle 300, the water valve 200 and the filter 100 can be connected together. When the water inlet assembly 400 is disconnected, the distal latch assembly 500 is just released from the latch connection, so that the water bottle 300 can be smoothly detached from the water valve 200 and the filter 100. Therefore, the water bottle 300 can be conveniently connected or detached with the water valve 200 and the filter 100 through the matching of the water inlet assembly 400 of the water bottle and the far-end clamping assembly 500, and the subsequent replacement or maintenance of the water bottle 300 is convenient.
Further, when the distal end snap-fit assembly 500 is released from the snap-fit connection, the kettle inlet assembly 400 is disengaged in the axial direction of the rotation shaft. That is, when the distal latch assembly 500 is released from the latching connection and the kettle inlet assembly 400 is also released in the axial direction of the rotation shaft, the kettle 300 can be detached from the water valve 200 and the filter 100. Thus, the state transitions of the water inlet assembly 400 and the distal clamping assembly 500 are completely consistent, so that the stroke of the rotation operation can be shortened, and the operation of mounting or dismounting the water bottle 300 is simpler and more convenient.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, when the distal latch assembly 500 is latched, the direction of the locking connection of the kettle inlet assembly 400 is different from the direction of the latching connection of the distal latch assembly 500. That is, the water inlet assembly 400 and the distal snap assembly 500 connect the water bottle in different directions, thereby further reinforcing the connection of the water bottle 300 with the water valve 200 and the filter 100, and the connections in the two different directions do not interfere with each other, so that the water bottle 300 is not easily released and dropped even if the assembly in one direction fails.
Furthermore, when the distal clamping assembly 500 is fastened, the locking connection direction of the water inlet assembly 400 is the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the fastening connection direction of the distal clamping assembly 500 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft. That is, the directions of the connection of the water inlet assembly 400 and the distal snap assembly 500 to the water bottle are perpendicular to each other. The mutual interference of the connection in the two directions can be reduced to the minimum, so that the connection of the kettle is firmer.
In the second embodiment of the present invention, the distal clamping assembly 500 includes a distal clamping portion and a distal mating portion, the distal clamping portion can be clamped with or separated from the distal clamping portion, the distal clamping portion is disposed on one of the water bottle 300 and the filter 100, and the distal mating portion is disposed on the other of the water bottle 300 and the filter 100. The operation of buckling or disengaging can be easily realized through the mutual matching of the far-end clamping part and the far-end matching part. In this embodiment, the distal engaging portion is disposed on the filter 100, and the distal engaging portion is disposed on the water bottle 300.
Further, as shown in fig. 6, the distal end clamping portion is a distal end hanging buckle 510 disposed on the filter 100, the distal end matching portion is a distal end hanging hole 520 disposed on the kettle 300, and when the distal end clamping assembly 500 is in a buckling connection, the distal end hanging buckle 510 is inserted into the distal end hanging hole 520. The connection structure of the hanging buckle and the hanging hole is simple, the cost is low, and the operation is easy. Specifically, the distal latch assembly 500 may be snapped directly into the distal latch 510 that is inserted into the distal latch hole 520. If it is desired to reinforce the connection of the distal clamping assembly 500, a screw thread may be provided in the distal hook 510, and when the distal hook 510 is inserted into the distal hook hole 520, the screw may be screwed into the distal hook 510 and screwed into the distal hook hole, such that the end surface of the screw abuts against the edge of the hook hole 520. In other embodiments, the distal clasp may also be interference fit with the distal clasp. Therefore, in the transportation/assembly process of the waterway integrated device or the refrigerator, even if collision or shaking and the like occur, the kettle cannot be easily disconnected at the far end. Also, the distal hanging hook 510 may extend outwardly from and be integrally formed with the housing of the filter 100, and the distal hanging hole 520 may extend outwardly from the kettle 300 and be integrally formed with the kettle 300. The provision of the integrally formed structure makes the connection between the kettle 300 and the filter 100 more stable and secure.
In other embodiments, the distal clamping portion and the distal matching portion may be of other structures for snap connection.
Preferably, the proximal end 310 of the jug 300 is also removably connected to the filter 100 by a proximal snap assembly 600. When the distal clamping assembly 500 is snapped on, the proximal clamping assembly 600 is snapped on. When the water inlet assembly 500 is disengaged in the axial direction of the rotating shaft, the proximal clamping assembly 600 is released from the clamping connection. A proximal clip assembly 600 is further provided at the proximal end 310 of the kettle 300 to further strengthen the attachment of the kettle 300 at the proximal end 310. Furthermore, the proximal latch assembly 600 can be coupled to and removed from the water inlet assembly 400 and the distal latch assembly 500 simultaneously. Specifically, the proximal latch assembly 600 also includes a proximal latch portion 610 and a proximal mating portion 620 that can be latched or disengaged with the proximal latch portion 610, and in the embodiment of the present invention, the proximal latch portion is a proximal hook 610 and the proximal mating portion is a proximal hook hole 620.
As shown in fig. 5 to 8, the water bottle 300 and the water valve 200 are selectively communicated with each other through the water inlet assembly 400, and the water inlet assembly 400 includes: a water inlet sleeve 410 and a water inlet connector 420 rotatably inserted into the water inlet sleeve 410. The water inlet connector 420 and the water inlet sleeve 410 are provided with water inlet channels inside, which can be communicated with each other. The water inlet socket 410 is provided on one of the water bottle 300 or the water 200, and the water inlet connector 420 is provided on the other of the water bottle 300 or the water valve 200. The water inlet plug 420 is provided with a water inlet limiting protrusion 421, and the water inlet sleeve 410 comprises a water inlet cylinder 411, a water inlet plug port 412 arranged on the water inlet cylinder 411 and a water inlet limiting hole 413 arranged in the circumferential direction of the water inlet cylinder 411. The water inlet sleeve 410 is further provided with a water inlet guide groove 414 matched with the water inlet limiting protrusion 421, and the water inlet guide groove 414 extends axially from the water inlet interface 412 along the water inlet sleeve 410 and is communicated with the end of the water inlet limiting hole 413. As shown in fig. 5, in the circumferential direction of the water inlet cylinder 411, the dimension H of the water inlet restriction hole 413 is larger than the dimension L of the water inlet guide groove 414. That is, the kettle inlet assembly 400 not only serves to connect the kettle 300 and the water valve 200, but also serves to allow water to pass therethrough, i.e., allow water in the water valve 200 to flow into the kettle 300, after connection. In the embodiment of the present invention, an external water source firstly flows into the filter 100, and then flows into the water valve 200 from the filter 100, the water valve 200 has two water outlets, one of the two water outlets extends outward to form the water inlet plug 420, and the inlet of the water bottle 300 extends outward to form the water inlet sleeve 410, so that water can flow through the two water outlets after the two water outlets are connected.
In addition, in the circumferential direction of the water inlet cylinder 411, the dimension H of the water inlet limiting hole 413 is set to be larger than the dimension L of the water inlet guide groove 414, so that when the water inlet connector 420 is inserted into the water inlet sleeve 410, the water inlet limiting protrusion 421 on the water inlet connector 420 can enter the water inlet guide groove 414 from the water inlet socket 412 on the water inlet sleeve 410, and then the kettle 300 is rotated along the rotating shaft in the first direction, so that the water inlet limiting protrusion 421 can enter the water inlet limiting hole 413, and because the dimension H of the water inlet limiting hole 413 is larger, and the water inlet limiting hole 413 is not communicated with the water inlet socket 412, at this time, the water inlet limiting protrusion 421 and the water inlet limiting hole 413 form a snap fit, so that even if a reverse force is applied in the plugging direction, the water inlet connector 420 cannot reversely exit the water inlet sleeve 410, thereby locking the kettle water inlet assembly 400 is realized. And then the water inlet restricting protrusion 421 is aligned with the water inlet guide groove 414 by rotating the water jug 300 in the reverse direction of the first direction along the rotation axis, thereby achieving the disengagement of the water jug inlet assembly 400 in the axial direction of the rotation axis. At this time, the water inlet limiting protrusion 421 moves toward the water inlet socket 412 along the water inlet guiding groove 414 by applying a force in the opposite direction of the inserting direction, and finally the water inlet connector 420 reversely exits the water inlet sleeve 410.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the rotating shaft is configured as a central axis X of the water inlet sleeve 410. That is, rotating the kettle 300 about the central axis X of the water inlet sleeve 410 causes the kettle inlet assembly 400 to lock or unlock and the distal latch assembly 500 to snap or unlock. Thus, the water jug 300 is simple to connect and detach, and is convenient for the user to operate.
Further, the water inlet sleeve 410 extends outward from the water inlet of the water bottle 300 and is integrally formed with the water bottle 300. The water inlet plug 420 extends outwards from the water outlet of the water valve 200 and is integrally formed with the water valve 200. That is, a water pipe is not provided between the water bottle 300 and the water valve 200, and the water bottle 300 and the water valve 200 are directly connected through the water inlet assembly 400 extending from the respective parts thereof, so that the connection is more stable, and the problems of difficult maintenance due to bending of the water pipe and water leakage are avoided.
Preferably, the water inlet connector 420 includes a first connector 422 and a second connector 423 disposed at a front end of the first connector 422, and an outer diameter of the second connector 423 is smaller than an outer diameter of the first connector 422. When the water inlet plug member 420 is inserted into the water inlet sleeve 410, the second inserting portion 423 having a smaller inner diameter is first inserted into the water inlet sleeve 410, so that the inserting action can be guided, and the water inlet assembly 400 of the kettle can be easily connected.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a sealing member is sleeved on the second insertion part 423. The packing 4231 is used to fill a gap between the outer wall of the second insertion part 423 and the inner wall of the water inlet sleeve 410, thereby preventing water leakage. Specifically, the inner diameter of the water inlet sleeve 410 at a position corresponding to the position of the sealing member 4231 on the second insertion part 423 is reduced, so that the sealing member 4231 is pressed between the inner wall of the water inlet sleeve 410 and the second insertion part 423, thereby further enhancing the sealing effect.
Further, the water inlet connector 420 further includes a stopper 424 connected to the first socket 421, and an end surface of the stopper 424 abuts against an end surface of the water inlet sleeve 410. The stopping portion 424 is the end point of the water inlet plug 420 inserted into the water inlet sleeve 410, that is, when the water inlet plug 420 is inserted into the water inlet sleeve 410, the end surface of the stopping portion 424 is seen to abut against the end surface of the water inlet sleeve 410, and it can be determined that the plugging action is in place.
As shown in fig. 8, the water inlet connector 420 is provided with two water inlet limiting protrusions 421, the two water inlet limiting protrusions 421 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the axis of the water inlet connector 420, and two water inlet guide grooves 413 are provided on the water inlet sleeve corresponding to the two water inlet limiting protrusions 421. The two symmetrical water inlet limiting protrusions 421 and the two corresponding water inlet guide grooves 413 are provided, so that the water inlet connector 420 and the water inlet sleeve 410 can be locked more firmly and stably.
Preferably, the filter 100 is in selective communication with the water valve 200 via a filter outlet assembly 700. The filter outlet assembly 700 includes: the water outlet connector comprises a water outlet sleeve 710 and a water outlet connector 720 which can be rotatably inserted into the water outlet sleeve 710. The structures of the filter outlet assembly 700, the outlet sleeve 710 and the outlet connector 720 are identical to the structures of the kettle inlet assembly 400, the inlet sleeve 410 and the inlet connector 420, except for the positions. Accordingly, the detailed structure of the filter outlet assembly 700 will not be described.
Further, the filter 100, the water valve 200 and the kettle 300 are arranged two by two adjacent to each other, and the kettle water inlet assembly 400 is perpendicular to the filter water outlet assembly 700. That is, the central axis X of the water outlet shroud 710 is perpendicular to the central axis of the water inlet shroud 410.
Specifically, the stationary case 800 also functions to connect the waterway integration structure to the refrigerator. In addition, the distal hanging buckle 510 is also disposed on the fixing housing 800, so that the connection of the water bottle 300 is more stable.
