A freezing chamber is limited in the box body, the ice cube tray 100 can be arranged in the freezing chamber, and the water injection unit is detachably arranged in the freezing chamber and positioned above the ice cube tray 100.
Referring to fig. 1-6, the water filling unit includes a water tank 210, a water valve 220, and a regulating assembly.
The water tank 210 has a water inlet 211 at the upper portion thereof and a water inlet 212 at the bottom thereof. The water tank 210 is preferably funnel-shaped with a water inlet at the top. The capacity of the water tank 210 may be set to an optimal capacity of the ice making compartment 100, or a water level line may be indicated in the water tank 210, so that a user can clearly inject water.

Hereinafter, the present application proposes two preferred adjustment assembly configurations.
First, referring to fig. 1-2, the adjusting assembly includes a first hinge shaft member 230 and a restoring member 240.
The water valve 220 is rotatably coupled to the water tank 210 by a first hinge member 230. Specifically, the first hinge member 230 includes a first bearing seat 231 and a first rotating shaft 232, the first bearing seat 231 is disposed on the outer wall of the water tank 210, and the first rotating shaft 232 is disposed on the water valve 220 and is engaged with each other to form a hinge. Alternatively, the first bearing seat 231 is disposed on the water valve 220, and the first rotating shaft 232 is disposed on the outer wall of the water tank 210. It should be understood that, in practical structure, the first rotating shaft 232 does not refer to a separate rotating shaft, and may be combined with the base on the outer wall of the water valve 220 or the water tank 210, or the base and the rotating shaft may be separately provided.
The restoring member 240 is provided between the water valve 220 and the water tank 210. The restoring member 240 is preferably a torsion spring and is disposed at an end of the water valve 220 adjacent to the handle portion 222. The specific connection positions of the two ends of the torsion spring, the water valve 220 and the water tank 210 can be reasonably set according to the actual structure. When the handle portion 222 is not under force, the restoring force of the restoring member 240 causes the water valve 220 to be in the first state, as shown in fig. 1. When the handle 222 is forced by a predetermined force, the water valve 220 is rotated to the second state against the restoring force of the restoring member 240, and the valve portion 221 is separated from the filling port 212, and when rotated to a certain angle, as shown in fig. 2, the water in the water tank 210 may flow out from the filling port 212 onto the ice cube tray 100.

The water valve 220 is rotatably coupled to the water tank 210 by the second hinge member 250. Specifically, the second hinge member 250 includes a second bearing seat 251 and a second rotating shaft 252, the second bearing seat 251 is disposed on the outer wall of the water tank 210, and the second rotating shaft 252 is disposed on the water valve 220 and is matched with each other to form a hinge. Alternatively, the second bearing seat 251 is disposed on the water valve 220, and the second rotating shaft 252 is disposed on the outer wall of the water tank 210. It should be understood that the second shaft 252 does not refer to a separate shaft in actual structure, and may be combined with the base on the outer wall of the water valve 220 or the water tank 210, or the base and the shaft may be separately provided.
The positioning member 260 is disposed between the water valve 220 and the water tank 210. Specifically, the positioning member 260 may include a cam portion 261, a push rod 262, and a resilient member 263. The cam 261 is disposed on the water valve 220, and has a first concave position and a second concave position that are adjacent and smoothly transited. The cross-sectional shape of the cam portion 261 is similar to a "W" shape, specifically, the middle ridge is higher than the two side ridges, and the position between the adjacent ridges is in a concave arc shape, so as to form a first concave position and a second concave position which are adjacent. The section of the middle protruded ridge is in the shape of a triangular cone with an arc-shaped top. The top end of the push rod 262 is arc-shaped which matches the first concave position and the second concave position, and when the cam part 261 rotates, the push rod 262 can change position between the first concave position and the second concave position along the middle ridge. The cam portion 261 may be a separate structure or share the same base as the second shaft 252. The resilient member 263 is preferably a spring, an outer column is protruded from the wall of the water tank 210, an accommodating cavity 213 is formed in the outer column, the spring is disposed in the accommodating cavity 213, a first end of the spring abuts against the bottom of the accommodating cavity 213, a second end of the spring is sleeved on the first end of the push rod 262, the first end of the spring is located in the accommodating cavity 213, and a second end of the push rod 262 corresponds to the cam portion 261, so that the water valve 220 is in the first state when the spring is engaged with the first concave portion, as shown in fig. 3 and 4. When the second end of the plunger 262 is engaged with the second recess, the water valve 220 is in the second state, as shown in fig. 5 and 6.
In the above-described embodiment, the upper surface of the valve portion 221 is provided with a water guide portion (not shown) for guiding water flowing out of the water filling port 212 into the ice cube tray 100 from a predetermined direction. The water guide direction of the water guide part may be properly designed according to the placement position of the ice cube tray 100, for example, in the embodiment of fig. 2, the water guide part guides water flowing onto the valve part 221 out into the ice cube tray 100 from an end thereof. After the user is familiar with the amount of water to be filled, the water valve 220 can be kept open all the time, and the water filling unit can be used as a water guiding device or can be detached.
The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, various modifications and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, and these modifications and substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
