The door assembly 200 slides left and right by the operation of a door slide module (not shown). A state in which the entire water tank opening 167 is exposed by the sliding movement of the door assembly 200 is defined as a first-stage opening, and a state in which the open surface 169 is exposed is defined as a second-stage opening.

The exposed front surface of the cabinet assembly 100 when the first stage is opened is defined as a first open surface OP1 , and the front surface exposed when the second stage is opened is defined as a second open surface OP2 .

In this embodiment, at least a part of the front surface of the water tank 2100 is made of a material through which water can be seen. The water tank 2100 is located on the first open surface OP1, and more specifically, is located on the water tank opening 167. The water tank 2100 is inserted into the lower cabinet 120 through the water tank opening 167 .

The water tank 2100 has a tank lower body 2110 mounted on the water supply assembly 2200, upper and lower sides are open, coupled to the upper side of the tank lower body 2110, and the kantroer body ( 2110), the lower side of the tank middle body 2120 is closed and water is stored therein, and the upper and lower sides are opened to form a water tank opening 2101, on the upper side of the tank middle body 2120.

The tank lower body 2110 has a valve hole 2111 penetrating in the vertical direction, and the water tank valve 2150 is assembled to the valve hole 2111. The valve hole 2111 is located on the rear side when viewed from the side of the water tank 2100 .

The distance from the center of the valve hole 2111 to the front surface of the water tank (the tank front wall described later in this embodiment) is defined as T1, and the center of the valve hole 2111 to the rear surface of the water tank (this embodiment A distance from to a first rear wall) to be described later is defined as T2. Here, the T1 is formed longer than the T2. By locating the valve hole 2111 at the rear side of the water tank 2100, leakage of water from the water tank valve 2150 may be minimized when the tilting assembly 2600 operates.

When the tilting assembly 2600 operates, the water tank valve 2150 is quickly closed only when the water tank 2100 is quickly separated from the water supply assembly 2200. Since the water tank 2100 is tilted forward based on the lower end of the front side, it is preferable that the water tank valve 2150 is located on the rear side.

In this embodiment, the tank lower body 2110 has a rectangular shape when viewed from a top view. The tank lower body 2110 is formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole and has an open lower side.

The tank lower body 2110 has a lower body space 2112 formed therein, and the lower body space 2112 opens downward. A part of the water supply assembly 2200 may be inserted into the lower body space 2112 .

The tank lower body 2110 is detachably mounted on the water supply assembly 2200. The tank lower body 2110 is closed on the front, left side, right side, and upper side. A rear surface of the tank lower body 2110 may be partially opened for assembly with the tilting assembly 2600. The assembly structure of the tilting assembly 2600 and the water tank 2100 will be described later.

The tank middle body 2120 includes a middle body upper opening 2121 with an upper side opened and a middle body lower opening 2122 with a lower side opened.

The tank front wall 2123, the tank left wall 2124, and the tank light wall 2125 are vertically arranged in a vertical direction. The tank rear wall 2126 is disposed vertically and is curved in the front-rear direction.

The tank rear wall 2126 is coupled to the tank lower body 2110 and is coupled to the first rear wall 2126a forming a continuous surface with the rear surface of the tank lower body 2110 and the tank upper body 2130 a second rear wall 2126b, which forms a continuous surface with the tank upper body 2130 and is positioned forward of the first rear wall 2126a; 2 includes a connect wall 2126c connecting the rear wall 2126b.

The connect wall 2126c is inclined in the vertical direction. The connect wall 2126c has a high front side and a low rear side.

The first rear wall 2126a is located on the rear side with respect to the connect wall 2126c, and the second rear wall 2126b is located on the front side with respect to the connect wall 2126c. In the forward and backward directions, the first rear wall 2126a and the second rear wall 2126b form a distance difference by T3.

Therefore, the flat cross-sectional area of the tank middle body 2120 including the first rear wall 2126a is larger than that of the tank middle body 2120 including the second rear wall 2126b. When water is stored in the water tank 2100 through such a structure, the center of gravity of the water tank 2100 can be formed more rearward.

This can prevent the water tank 2100 from tipping forward when the water tank 2100 is tilted forward by the tilting assembly 2600 .

The tank upper body 2130 is coupled to the upper end of the tank middle body 2120. When viewed from a top view, the tank upper body 2130 has an upper body opening 2131 formed in a “ㅁ” shape.

The upper body opening 2131 penetrates the tank upper body 2130 in the vertical direction. The upper body opening 2131 communicates with the middle body upper opening 2121 . The middle body opening 2121 is disposed below the upper body opening 2131 .

A user may supply water to the water tank 2100 through the upper body opening 2131 . The user may supply water through the upper body opening 2131 of the water tank 2100 without separating the water tank 2100 .

This is possible because when the water tank 2100 is tilted, the water tank 2100 tilts forward and the upper body opening 2131 is exposed to the user. When the water tank 2100 is tilted, the upper body opening 2131 is positioned ahead of the lower cover 164 .

The water tank handle 2140 is rotatably assembled to the tank upper body 2130. The outer surface of the tank upper body 2130 includes a front surface 2130a, a rear surface 2130b, a left surface 2130c, a right surface 2130d, an upper surface 2130e, and a lower surface 2130f.

The inner surface of the tank upper body 2130 includes an inner front wall 2133a, inner side walls 2133c and 2133d, and an inner rear wall 2133b. The upper body opening 2131 is formed surrounded by an inner front wall 2133a, inner side walls 2133c and 2133d, and an inner rear wall 2133b.

The inner front wall 2133a is inclined in the vertical direction. The lower end of the inner front wall 2133a is positioned more rearward than the upper end. Therefore, the lower end of the inner front wall 2133a is inclined toward the lower rear side.

When the water tank 2100 is tilted, the inner front wall 2133a forms a gentler slope and guides the water supplied to the top into the water tank 2100.

The inner rear wall 2133b is disposed vertically and inclined by the tilting angle A when the water tank 2100 is tilted.

When the water tank 2100 is tilted, the upper end 2135 of the inner rear wall 2133b is disposed below the lower cover 164 on a vertical line or rearward than the lower cover 164 . When the water tank 2100 is tilted, the inner front wall 2133a is positioned ahead of the lower cover 164 . When the water tank 2100 is tilted, the front lower end 2114a of the lower body sidewall 2114 is disposed rearward than the lower cover 164 .
