The specific embodiment
As shown in Figure 2, in the present invention, be used for being directly installed on the inside of refrigerator doors (10) to the water pot (20) that distributor supplies water.When refrigerator was two-door refrigerator, above-mentioned door (10) was preferably refrigerating chamber door (10).
One side of the front (12) of above-mentioned door (10) has formed the distributor (16) that caves inward, and this distributor (16) is used for water receiving and ice cube etc.Filling foamed heat-insulating material between the front (12) of above-mentioned door (10) and the back side (doorliner) (14), these heat-barrier materials can reduce the heat conduction between the refrigerator inside and outside to greatest extent.
In the present invention, water pot (20) is installed between the front (12) and the back side (14) of above-mentioned door (10), in fact is in the state that is embedded among the foamed heat-insulating material.Here, be embedded in the inner state of door (10), also need to reach the degree of under the cold air effect of refrigerating chamber, fully being cooled off (being in non-icing state) even above-mentioned water pot (20) is in.Therefore in the present invention, above-mentioned water pot (20) should be installed on the inner position near refrigerator inside (refrigerating chamber side) of door (10).That is to say, be installed in the inner water pot (20) of door (10) among the present invention and should be installed on the position of the more close back side (14).In addition, be preferably in the close above-mentioned back side (14) of the inside part that makes water pot (20) when above-mentioned water pot (20) is installed, so that water pot (20) can fully be cooled off under the cold air effect in refrigerating chamber.
In addition, the lower end of above-mentioned water pot (20) needs to be connected with watering (Ws), so that water can flow in the water pot (20).Above-mentioned water pot (20) be used for draining outlet (22) directly be installed in above-mentioned distributor (16) on water nozzle (nozzle) (not shown) be connected.
