In addition, the inboard of container 10a becomes bag 10e of shape portion, this bag shape 10e of portion, and certainly much less bottom surface and the inside are also covered by chamber wall above.The 10f of wall portion that is further extended upward by the upper wall of this bag shape 10e of portion is provided with U word shape groove, and delivery line 12 extends out to the refrigerator inboard from this U word shape groove.That is, have the derivation wall 10f of the U word shape groove of the discharge portion 12a that can pull out delivery line 12, be arranged on than the upper wall of the bag shape 10e of portion and more more lean on the front side by top, the ratio bag shape 10e of portion.Thereby the container 10a of present embodiment is not top whole opening, and the peristome of container 10a comprises derivation and forms with the upper end of wall 10f.In addition, will narrate in the back about U word shape groove.
Have again, in the present embodiment, the bag shape 10e of portion as shown in Figure 2, with by derive with wall 10f inwards the form that goes out of thruster make because peristome container 10a periphery is narrower, so downside becomes the wideer shape of ratio open portion.When this container is made as Construction integration by the forming synthetic resin mould, if become the container structure that the block models of not laboring etc. just can not be made bag 10e of shape portion.In order to be easy to that this loose piece model is shaped, the loose piece model when container is shaped is necessary to make in advance the thin shape of front end, and the occasion operation of not making this shape becomes difficulty.
Therefore, in the present embodiment,, form inclined-plane 14, container 10a front end is run business into particular one in container 10a bottom in order to take out or put into the loose piece model at an easy rate.Thereby, the height of inner bottom surface of container 10a that the container 10a of present embodiment is placed on the occasion on the horizontal plane for inboard than front side height, in addition, as previously mentioned because the marsupial shape 10e of portion is set, so container 10a to be of a size of inboard size up and down littler than front side size.
In addition, in refrigerating chamber, be provided with shelf 15, be collected in food in the refrigerating chamber 2 etc. and be placed on this shelf 15.In the occasion of folding and unfolding supply tank 10 that tilts as shown in Figure 3, this shelf 15 is arranged on the place that supply tank 10 does not contact the size of shelf 15 front end 15a.
Next, illustrate with Fig. 3 supply tank 10 is arranged on situation in the refrigerating chamber 2.Fig. 3 is expression pack into the figure of the state when the refrigerator of supply tank 10.In the present embodiment, supply tank 10 is arranged in the shelf 15 and the boxroom between the partition walls 6 in the refrigerating chamber 2.
As mentioned above, be shown with waterline 10d at the container 10a of supply tank 10 subscript, the user estimates this line 10d usually, injects water pipe water at the state that disassembles from refrigerating chamber 2 in supply tank 10.
The supply tank 10 that injects water according to this waterline 10d, in the time of will being installed in the boxroom between shelf 15 and the partition walls 6, the relation that has shelf 15, supply tank 10 is tilted as shown in the figure like that. at this moment, set the outstanding size in inboard of the bag shape 10e of portion, upper wall height and tilt 14, use wall 10f and U word shape groove with deriving, so that the water surface L1 of the occasion that has tilted does not reach the last position of lower end 17a of deriving with the U word shape groove on the wall 10f than being arranged on. in other words, the position of waterline 10d is moved up and down, and perhaps the volume size because of the bag shape 10e of portion is water surface L1 not to be reached than the last position of lower end 17a of U word shape groove set. preventing from leak when installing about supply tank 10 is configured in the back narration.
Next, the feature of the refrigerator of present embodiment is described with Fig. 4.Fig. 4 is that expression is tilted the bottom surface of refrigerating chamber, and the figure of state of the occasion of supply tank 10 is set in the collection portion 16 with this bottom surface that has tilted.With regard to Ben Tu, each parts that is marked with same-sign with Fig. 1 to Fig. 3 are represented same thing.
As shown in the figure, than the more inboard big inclined plane of length dimension of making and sloping portion milder of the inclined plane 6a of partition walls 6, make the shape that on the supply tank mounting 6b of portion, supply tank 10 is received at an easy rate receiving room 16 than rake 6a.Cooperate the inclination of this supply tank mounting 6b of portion, the bottom surface of supply tank also has the inclined plane.Thereby, because supply tank 10 is positioned on the inclined plane of partition walls 6, so supply tank 10 self becomes the structure that is obliquely installed in refrigerating chamber 2.
Have, one of the reason that supply tank 10 has been made the inclined plane of inboard decline shape is the inclination that cooperates the supply tank mounting 6b of portion, but in addition, the purpose that reduces the quantity of residual in the supply tank 10 is arranged also again.Also handlebar supply tank 10 is easy to put into the purpose of receiving room 16.
That is, carry out ice making with ice making box 8, the water in the supply tank 10 finally becomes water surface L3 as shown in Figure 4 after sucking by aqueduct 12.At this moment, if do not have the inclined plane in the bottom of feed trough 10, water is just residual at the bottom homogeneous.In the present embodiment, even under the state that the water yield in supply tank 10 has tailed off, because residual water concentrates near 12 ones of the aqueducts, so also can a little manyly effectively utilize water in the supply tank 10.
In other words, aqueduct 12 residing parts, the bottom surface by making supply tank 10 and the last face tilt of partition walls 6 are for becoming the lowermost portion in the supply tank 10, the water of final residue such as Fig. 4 ground are accumulated, and can reduce the water yield that remains in the out of use water in the supply tank 10.
With regard to present embodiment, on the container 10a of supply tank 10, make the relation of the 10e of pouch portion, owing to the reason that has just illustrated, on the bottom surface of container 10a, need inclined-plane 14 as the problem on making.Therefore, the inner bottom surface of supply tank 10 is by utilizing inclined-plane 14, make the height of the inner bottom surface of supply tank 10 be, the position is lower in front of the end position container 10a of aqueduct 12, simultaneously, reinforcement 18 is set in the bottom of supply tank 10 keeps and the contacting of the supply tank mounting 6b of portion, the sense of security when guaranteeing in refrigerating chamber 2 installation supply tank 10.
Next, with Fig. 5 to Fig. 7 relation and the pulling out of aqueduct 12 of container 10a and cover 10b are described.Fig. 5 is the vertical view of present embodiment supply tank, and Fig. 6 is the A-A profile of Fig. 5, and Fig. 7 is the B-B profile of Fig. 5.
Cover 10b is provided with water filling port 19, even so that this cover 10b is not taken off and can inject new water to supply tank 10 from container 10a.And this water filling port 19 is provided with and covers 20.In addition, this lid 20 rotates by axle 20d and opens and closes.In addition, cover 10b be provided with when ice making box 8 supplies water, introduce be used for supply tank 10 in the water displacement air and become the opening 21 in air introducing hole.
Like this by have water filling port 19, lid 20, and the cover 10b of opening 21 be installed in the opening of container 10a, make the structure of top obturation of the container 10a of supply tank 10.When being installed in this cover 10b on the container 10a, further protrude on the groove that the inboard a pair of protuberance that is provided with forms by inwall 22 from the コ word shape groove that is arranged on cover 10b inboard, from the opening rising wood of container 10a after the flange 23 that the front side is extended fixes, with this holding division is that fulcrum makes cover 10b close the side rotation to lid, and the recess 25 that blocks that turns on fixing projection 24 that makes the front side that is arranged on cover 10b and the front side inwall that is arranged on container 10a fixes.
Thereby, the inwall 22 of コ word shape groove, the wall of the 10f of the wall portion of extending upward with the upper wall by the bag shape 10e of portion of the inboard that is arranged on container 10a (derive and use wall), under the state that cover 10b is installed, it is better to make parallel substantially structure. in addition, aqueduct 12 1 ends are near the bottom of supply tank 10, the discharge portion 12a of the other end becomes and is accommodated in the state of deriving with in the U word shape groove on the wall 10f 17 that is arranged on from the top, so be arranged on derive make with the groove on the wall 10f above the slot part of opening for well. still, above-mentioned コ word shape groove, the shape of U word shape groove is not limited to these shapes, for example U word shape groove 17, even circular hole is as long as the insertion good work is just out of question.
Like this, the purifier 26 more roomy near supply tank 10 inner bottom surfaces of aqueduct 12, be equipped with than aqueduct 12.Thereby, the inboard end of purifier 26, its depth location is positioned at more inboard than the peristome of supply tank 10, becomes the structure until the bag shape 10e of portion.
The aqueduct 12 of purifier 26 has been installed like this, with cover 10b in the occasion of carrying out installing or removing from container 10a, the upper wall of the bag shape 10e of portion becomes obstacle in the container shapes of the present embodiment of integral finish on be not, but be the rotation installation of fulcrum by making as mentioned above with peristome inboard rising wood, even adopt the install or remove occasion of structure of delivery line 12 with cover 10b, also open-close lid parts 10b at an easy rate.
As described above, U word shape groove 17 is set on wall 10f being connected the derivation that is provided with the bag shape 10e of portion, by this U word shape groove 17 the discharge portion 12d that are used as L word shape aqueduct 12 1 ends are extended out outside container 10a, make the other end be positioned at the bottom of container 10a.In order to make the part on the needed inclined-plane 14 of this bag shape 10e of portion, the capacity of supply tank 10 is reduced, but as shown in Figure 4, make supply tank 10 tilt to be placed on the 6b of mounting portion of partition walls 6, because 14 ones on inclined-plane becomes lowest part when supply tank 10 is installed, so can reduce residual water in the past.
Next the relation of the discharge portion 12a and the U word shape groove 17 of L word shape aqueduct 12 is described with Fig. 8 and Fig. 9.Fig. 8 be the P of Fig. 7 to view, Fig. 9 is the C-C profile of Fig. 8.
When aqueduct 12 was installed on the container 10a, discharge portion 12a was from the U word shape groove 17 side-prominent inwards installations of container 10a.Comprise the aqueduct 12 of the L word shape of this discharge portion 12a, also can form, so but the making in addition because finishing die complicates usually with cover 10b.And L word shape aqueduct 12 of Xing Chenging and cover 10b assemble mutually and make it integrated respectively.Thereby, take off cover 10b from container 10a, L shape aqueduct 12 is also extracted from container 10a, also makes when being installed in cover 10b on the container 10a, if discharge portion 12a just is not received in the U word shape groove 17 and can not be installed in structure on the container 10a to cover 10b.
Each parts is assembled and become the supply tank 10 of present embodiment like this, so the not talkative relation that closely keeps between discharge portion 12a and the U word shape groove 17, this part needs and can load and unload.Thereby, because this part is necessary to make the annexation that can load and unload, so can not make to fully integrated shaping.
As shown in Figure 3, please the user observing the occasion of waterline 10d, become water surface L1 when supply tank 10 is installed to refrigerating chamber 2, the water surface is to 17a position, U word shape groove 17 lower end., the user is careful to be surpassed waterline 10d and has annotated the occasion of water to supply tank 10, because water level has surpassed the lower end 17a of U word shape groove 17, does not leak from this part so also need to study.
Therefore, seal 27 is equipped with on U word shape groove 17.Sealing part 27 is the slit that produces between sealing U word shape groove 17 and the discharge portion 12a, the material that keeps watertight.By adopting sealing part 27, even water surface L1 shown in Figure 3 for example rises to the occasion of L2, the water in the supply tank 10 can not spill between discharge portion 12a and U word shape groove 17 yet.Have, this L2 water surface is the centre-height of discharge portion 12a again.U word shape groove 17 because be necessary to make equal or with the external diameter of discharge portion 12a than its bigger opening, so, can keep watertightness at an easy rate at least to the centre-height of discharge portion 12a.
Like this, by on U word shape groove 17, being equipped with seal 27, there is no need on the peristome periphery of the periphery of cover 10b and container 10a, seal to be set. reason is, size is thick up and down for partition walls 6 front face side of mounting supply tank 10, the back side is than front face side size unfertile land formation up and down, in the occasion that supply tank 10 is installed in refrigerating chamber 2, as shown in Figure 3, in inclination supply tank 10, make the structure that thruster is inwards gone into for making supply tank 10 inboard step-downs. thereby, there is not the low position that leaks of lower end 17a than U word shape groove 17, the occasion of leaking, must be from U word shape groove 17 side leakage water inwards, become the structure that the water surface does not reach other position.
