The existing refrigerator is generally provided with a water storage box and a water nozzle communicated with the water storage box in a refrigerating chamber. The water storage box is used for storing purified water, and the water nozzle extends from the inside of the box body to the outside of the box body. Therefore, under the condition of higher air temperature, a user can directly access the low-temperature purified water in the water storage box through the water nozzle so as to meet the water taking requirement of the user. However, with the existing water storage box with a water nozzle, after the user finishes receiving water and closes the water valve, part of water still remains in the water nozzle. If the user does not treat the water left in the water nozzle, the water may drop on the box or the door body, so that the use experience of the user is affected.

At present, a detachable water receiving disc is arranged below the water nozzle and is used for collecting water dropped by the water nozzle. But this increases structural parts and increases the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator. Meanwhile, if the user does not treat the water in the water receiving disc in time, the problem of bacteria generation due to long-term water accumulation in the water receiving disc can occur, and the use experience of the user is reduced.

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a water intake device 30 for a refrigerator including a water storage box 40, a water receiving assembly 50, and a tongue 60. The water storage box 40 is used for storing water and is provided with a water outlet. The water receiving assembly 50 includes a first end in communication with the water outlet and a second end provided with a water receiving port 501. The pressing tongue 60 comprises a first end provided with a rotating shaft 611, a second end opposite to the first end and a first abutting part 613 corresponding to the water receiving assembly 50, and the second end of the pressing tongue 60 and the first abutting part 613 can rotate around the rotating shaft 611 towards the water receiving assembly 50. Applying pressure to the second end of the tongue 60 can cause the tongue 60 to rotate about the axis of rotation 611. When the pressing tongue 60 rotates to a preset position around the rotation shaft 611, the first abutting portion 613 moves to abut against the water receiving component 50 to press the water receiving component 50, so as to guide the water receiving component 50 to enable the water receiving port 501 to discharge water. When the pressing tongue 60 rotates to the preset position, the distance between the projection of the second end of the pressing tongue 60 on the horizontal plane and the projection of the water receiving port 501 on the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to the preset distance.

Specifically, the water receiving assembly 50 further includes a water outlet passage communicating with the water outlet hole and a valve body 54 for blocking or unblocking the water receiving hole 501. Wherein, with the tongue 60 in the initial position, the valve body 54 blocks the water receiving port 501 as shown in fig. 5. The user can push the second end of the tongue 60 to rotate to a predetermined position, so as to drive the first abutting portion 613 to rotate around the rotation shaft 611 and press the water receiving component 50. At this time, the valve body 54 may unblock the water receiving port 501, and a user may access water in the water storage box 40 through the water outlet channel and the water receiving port 501.

As shown in fig. 2, the water receiving assembly 50 is optionally disposed below the water storage box 40, so that water in the water storage box 40 can flow out through the water receiving assembly 50 under the action of gravity.

As shown in fig. 2 to 8, in some practical applications, the water intake device 30 for a refrigerator includes a water storage box 40, a water receiving assembly 50, and a tongue depressor 60. The water receiving assembly 50 includes an inner water nozzle 53, an outer water nozzle 52, and a valve body 54. The inner water nozzle 53 is provided with a water outlet passage, and the water outlet passage communicates with the water outlet hole of the water storage box 40. The outer water nozzle 52 is fixedly connected with the valve body 54, and the outer water nozzle 52, the valve body 54 and the inner water nozzle 53 are movably connected. The water receiving port 501 is provided to penetrate the inner water nozzle 53 and the outer water nozzle 52. When the tongue 60 is in the initial position, the valve body 54 closes the water receiving port 501 of the inner nozzle 53. The user can push the second end of the pressing tongue 60 by holding the cup to rotate the second end of the pressing tongue 60 and the first abutting portion 613 to a preset position, so that the first abutting portion 613 presses the outer water nozzle 52 to push the outer water nozzle 52 and the valve body 54 to move relative to the inner water nozzle 53. At this time, the valve body 54 opens the water receiving port 501 of the inner nozzle 53, and the user can take in water in the water storage box 40 through the water receiving port 501. Since the distance between the projection of the second end of the tongue 60 on the horizontal plane and the projection of the water receiving port 501 on the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to the preset distance, the water drops remained in the inner water nozzle 53 and/or the outer water nozzle 52 can drop into the user's water cup in the process of taking water and taking out the water cup after the user finishes taking water. Thus, the user can avoid water drops from falling on the refrigerator body 10 or the door body 20 without specially treating the water drops remained in the water receiving assembly 50, and the use experience of the user is improved.

As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the distance between the projection of the second end of the tongue 60 onto the horizontal surface and the projection of the water receiving port 501 onto the horizontal surface is greater than or equal to 20mm and less than or equal to 40mm with the tongue 60 rotated to the preset position.

Specifically, in the case where the pressing tongue 60 is rotated to the preset position, the distance between the projection of the second end of the pressing tongue 60 on the horizontal plane and the projection of the water receiving port 501 on the horizontal plane is a first preset distance L1, as shown in fig. 3. Wherein the first preset distance L1 may be 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm or 40mm.

In practical applications, the distance may be determined according to the refrigerator and the type of the water intake device, so long as the water drop remained in the water receiving assembly 50 can drop into the water cup of the user in the process of taking out the water cup after the user finishes taking water.

It will be appreciated that if the distance between the projection of the second end of the tongue 60 onto the horizontal surface and the projection of the water receiving port 501 onto the horizontal surface is greater than 40mm, it may be that water flowing out of the water receiving port 501 cannot fall into the cup after the tongue 60 is pushed by the user to rotate to the preset position. Meanwhile, such arrangement also results in a larger stroke for the user to push the second end of the tongue 60 to the preset position, which reduces the user experience.

As shown in fig. 4, in some embodiments, the outer wall surface of the water receiving component 50 is provided with a truncated cone structure to form a second abutting portion 521. When the tongue 60 rotates to a predetermined position, the first abutting portion 613 can abut against the second abutting portion 521 and press the second abutting portion 521.

Specifically, the mesa of the truncated cone structure disposed on the outer wall surface of the water receiving assembly 50 is disposed towards the first abutting portion 613 to form a second abutting portion 521, and the position of the second abutting portion 521 corresponds to the first abutting portion 613. When the tongue 60 is at the initial position, the first abutting portion 613 is separated from the second abutting portion 521. When the tongue 60 is rotated to the predetermined position, the first abutting portion 613 abuts against the second abutting portion 521 and pushes the second abutting portion 521 to open the valve body 54 at the water joint 501 to the water joint 501.

As shown in fig. 5, alternatively, in the case where the water receiving assembly 50 includes the outer nozzle 52, the inner nozzle 53, and the valve body 54, the second abutment 521 is provided on the outer wall surface of the outer nozzle 52. When the pressing tongue 60 rotates at the preset position, the first abutting portion 613 can abut against the second abutting portion 521 and push the outer nozzle 52 to move through the second abutting portion 521, so as to drive the valve body 54 to unblock the water inlet 501 of the inner nozzle 53.

As shown in fig. 6-8, in some embodiments, the tongue 60 includes an abutment section 61 and a pressing section 62. The abutting section 61 is provided at a position corresponding to the water receiving unit 50, and the first abutting portion 613 is provided at the abutting section 61. The pressing section 62 is provided below the abutting section 61. The rotating shaft 611 is disposed at an end of the abutting section 61 away from the pressing section 62, and the pressing section 62 and the abutting section 61 can rotate in the same direction around the rotating shaft 611.

Specifically, the second end of the pressing tongue 60 is the end of the pressing section 62 away from the abutting section 61, and the user can push the pressing section 62 to rotate the pressing tongue 60 around the rotation axis 611. In the case where the water joint assembly 50 includes the second abutting portion 521, the abutting section 61 of the tongue 60 is provided with an abutting wall surface toward one side of the second abutting portion 521 to constitute the first abutting portion 613. Wherein, the abutting wall surface and the table surface of the truncated cone structure are mutually parallel.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the second end of the water receiving assembly 50 is disposed at a downward incline in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the compression section of the compression tongue 60.

Specifically, the inclination angle of the water receiving assembly 50 is greater than or equal to 30 ° and less than or equal to 60 °. For example, the inclination angle of the water receiving assembly 50 may be 30 °, 45 °, or 60 °. Meanwhile, the second end of the water receiving assembly 50 is disposed below the first end, so that water in the water storage box 40 can flow in from the first end of the water receiving assembly 50 and flow out from the second end under the action of gravity.

It will be appreciated that the above-described water storage cartridge 40 is generally installed in the cabinet 10 of the refrigerator so as to maintain the water in the water storage cartridge 40 in a low temperature state. Meanwhile, the end of the water receiving assembly 50 provided with the water receiving port 501 may extend from the wall surface of the case 10 or the door 20 to the outside of the case 10, so that a user can take water without opening the door 20. Therefore, the space required for the whole water intake device and the user to take water can be reduced by tilting the end of the water receiving assembly 50 where the water receiving port 501 is provided by a certain angle in the direction of the tongue 60.

Alternatively, with the tongue 60 in the initial position, the first abutment 613 and the water receiving assembly 50 are disposed perpendicular to each other. By this arrangement, the stability when the first abutting portion 613 and the second abutting portion 521 abut against each other can be improved.

As shown in fig. 6-8, in some embodiments, the abutment section 61 of the tongue 60 is provided with a through hole 612 at a location corresponding to the water receiving assembly 50. The water receiving assembly 50 is inserted into the tongue 60 through the through hole 612, so that the second end and the first end are located at two sides of the first abutting portion 613.

Specifically, the through hole 612 penetrates the abutment section 61 provided to the tongue 60. The size of the through hole 612 is greater than or equal to the size of the second end of the water receiving member 50 and less than or equal to the size of the second abutting portion 521. With the first end of the water receiving assembly 50 in communication with the water reservoir 40, the second end of the water receiving assembly 50 extends through the through hole 612 to the other side of the tongue 60.

As shown in fig. 3, in the case where the water receiving assembly 50 includes the inner water nozzle 53 and the outer water nozzle 52, one end of the outer water nozzle 52 provided with the water receiving port 501 extends to the other side of the tongue 60 through the through hole 612, and the inner water nozzle 53 may or may not pass through the through hole 612.

Optionally, the size of the through hole 612 is larger than the size of the second end of the water receiving component 50 and smaller than or equal to the size of the second abutting portion 521. It will be appreciated that the water receiving assembly 50 is a fixed arrangement and that the tongue 60 is rotatable about the axis of rotation 611. When the pressing tongue 60 rotates, the pressing tongue 60 moves in both vertical and horizontal directions relative to the water receiving member 50. Therefore, if the size of the through hole 612 is larger than the size of the water receiving component 50, the water receiving component 50 can be prevented from interfering with the movement of the pressing tongue 60 in the horizontal direction.

As shown in fig. 7 and 8, alternatively, an abutment projection is provided toward the second abutment 521 at the edge of the through hole 612 to constitute a first abutment 613.

Specifically, an annular abutment projection is provided at the edge of the through hole 612 to constitute the first abutment 613.

As shown in fig. 6, in some embodiments, the pressure applying section 62 of the tongue 60 is provided with a cup relief groove 63. The cup avoiding groove 63 is provided below the water receiving port 501.

Specifically, the cup avoidance groove 63 is disposed at a position of the pressing section 62 corresponding to the water receiving port 501, and the user can move the cup into the cup avoidance groove 63 so that the cup is located below the water receiving port 501.

Optionally, the pressing section 62 is further provided with a push wall, and the user can push the push wall to rotate the tongue 60 around the rotation axis 611.

As shown in fig. 6, in some practical applications, the pressing section 62 includes a first side wall 621 surface and a second side wall 622 surface connected to the abutting section 61, and a bottom wall 623 surface connected to the first side wall 621 surface and the second side wall 622 surface. The first side wall 621 and the second side wall 622 are connected to opposite ends of the abutting section 61, respectively, and opposite ends of the bottom wall 623 are connected to ends of the first side wall 621 and the second side wall 622, respectively, remote from the abutting section 61. The first side wall 621, the second side wall 622 and the bottom wall 623 enclose the cup avoiding groove 63, and the bottom wall 623 is inclined to form a push wall. Wherein the side of the bottom wall surface 623 facing the user is lower than the side facing away from the user.

As shown in fig. 1, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a refrigerator including a case 10 provided with an opening and a door 20 provided at the opening of the case 10. The refrigerator further includes the water intake device 30 for the refrigerator described above.

In some embodiments, the water storage box 40 is disposed within the housing 10 or the door 20 is located on one side of the housing 10. The water receiving assembly 50 is disposed in the door body 20, and the second end of the water receiving assembly 50 penetrates the door body 20 to a side of the door body 20 facing away from the case 10. The pressing tongue 60 is located at one side of the door 20 facing away from the case 10 and is rotatably disposed at one side of the door 20 facing away from the case 10 through a rotation shaft 611.

Specifically, the cabinet 10 is further provided with a refrigerating compartment. The water storage box 40 is disposed in the refrigerating chamber or disposed at a position corresponding to the refrigerating chamber of the door body 20, so that the refrigerating chamber can cool the cold storage box.

Optionally, the water receiving assembly 50 further includes a water nozzle outer cylinder 51, and the water receiving assembly 50 is fixedly mounted to the door body 20 through the water nozzle outer cylinder 51. The water nozzle outer cylinder 51 is sleeved outside the outer water nozzle 52, and the outer water nozzle 52 can move relative to the water nozzle outer cylinder 51.

As shown in fig. 8, in some embodiments, the shaft 611 of the tongue depressor 60 is connected to the door body 20 via the elastic element 70. Wherein the elastic element 70 can push the tongue 60 to the initial position.

Specifically, the elastic member 70 is a torsion spring. The torsion spring is sleeved at the rotating shaft 611 of the pressing tongue 60, and two ends of the torsion spring are respectively abutted against the pressing tongue 60 and the door body 20.
