In order to facilitate the control of the movement of the water outlet pipe 330 relative to the flow guide pipe 200, as shown in fig. 1, in one embodiment, the water dispenser 10 further includes a handle push rod 500, the handle push rod 500 is connected to one end of the water outlet pipe 330 away from the flow guide pipe 200, the handle push rod 500 is utilized to facilitate the movement of the water outlet pipe 330 relative to the flow guide pipe 200 and compress the spring, the sealing cover 310 is facilitated to be pushed to open the water outlet 212, the water outlet is facilitated, and the convenience in use of the water dispenser 10 is improved.

The utility model also provides a refrigerator, including the water dispenser 10 as in any one of the above embodiments.

In the refrigerator, water in the water storage box 100 of the water dispenser 10 of the refrigerator can enter the diversion cavity 210 of the diversion pipe 200 through the water inlet 211 of the diversion pipe 200, water in the diversion cavity 210 can be guided out by the water outlet 212 of the diversion cavity 210, then enters the water outlet pipe 330 through the water inlet 331 of the water outlet pipe 330, and finally flows out from the water outlet 332 for a user to drink; because the water outlet pipe 330 is movably sleeved with the draft tube 200, the sealing cover 310 is movably covered with the water outlet 212 under the action of the connecting rod 320; when the water dispenser 10 needs to discharge water, the water outlet pipe 330 is controlled to be sleeved deeper relative to the flow guide pipe 200 in the direction close to the water storage box 100, the sealing cover 310 is no longer tightly pressed against the outer edge of the water outlet 212 under the action of the connecting rod 320, that is, the water outlet 212 is not covered, and at this time, water guided into the flow guide cavity 210 from the water storage box 100 is guided into the water outlet pipe 330 from the water outlet 212 until the water flows out from the water outlet pipe 330; when the water dispenser 10 is not needed to discharge water, the water outlet pipe 330 is controlled to be away from the water storage box 100 relative to the flow guide pipe 200, so that the sealing cover 310 can tightly abut against the outer edge of the water outlet 212 and cover the water outlet 212, and the water cannot flow out; the sealing cover 310 abuts against the outer edge of the drain opening 212, when the surface of the sealing cover 310 facing the drain opening 212 is not very flat or the outer edge of the drain opening 212 is not very flat, water leakage is easy to occur, and a circle of the convex part 311 surrounding the drain opening 212 plays a role of secondary sealing, so that the sealing performance of the sealing cover 310 is further improved. Therefore, the water dispenser 10 of the refrigerator can conveniently realize the water outlet function of the water dispenser 10 only by matching the water storage box 100, the flow guide pipe 200 with the sealing cover 310, the connecting rod 320 and the water outlet pipe 330 of the sealing component 300, has simple structure and easy production, is convenient to assemble, disassemble and assemble the water dispenser 10, is convenient to use the water dispenser 10, and can be realized only by controlling the sleeving degree between the movably sleeved water outlet pipe 330 and the flow guide pipe 200; but also improves the sealing performance of the sealing cover 310.

The technical features of the embodiments described above may be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the embodiments described above are not described, but should be considered as being within the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.

The above-mentioned embodiments only represent some embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is specific and detailed, but not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, several variations and modifications can be made, which are within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
