様に構成されている。An inlet (12) and an outlet (13) for water are provided at the upper and lower parts, respectively.
) is installed in a capsule-shaped container (1o) with an opening, and this water purification device (9) is housed and locked in a cap (17) of a water storage tank (3). In the water purification device (9), after locking and fixing the capsule-shaped container (10) which is integrated with the activated carbon (15) in the cap (17), water is injected into the water storage tank (3) and the cap (17) is closed. It is something that screws on.
After this, move the water storage tank (3) to the specified position inside the refrigerator compartment (2).
If you install the
The water flows into the pump (4) through the inlet (12), passes through the bag (14) in which activated carbon (15) is sealed, and is discharged through the outlet (13) located opposite the inlet (12). Water is supplied to the ice making device w (8) via the water supply pipe (5).

水不良等の問題点があった。[Problem to be solved by the invention] Since the water supply tank in which the conventional water purification device is arranged is configured as described above, the activated carbon of the water purification device in the water supply tank cannot be attached or removed while the ice making device is in use. The entire container has to be discarded, which is expensive to manufacture, and the effective opening area between the inlet and outlet is small, making it easy to get clogged, causing water to stop flowing out of the tank, causing the pump to run dry and causing the ice tray to dry. There were problems such as poor water supply to the area.
