在本申请某些实施例中,制冰机130下方设置有接水盘160。接水盘160固定到制冰机130上,接水盘后部向下倾斜设置。落入接水盘160的水会向后方流动,进而通过接水盘的导流口流入接水漏斗170。
接水漏斗170设置在制冰室100的后侧壁115上,并且,接水漏斗170包括一个漏斗排水管171。漏斗排水管171穿过制冰室100的后侧壁115以及冷藏室内胆15,于位于冷藏室内胆外的导水管连接。流入接水漏斗中的水通过漏斗排水管171和导水管,最终倒流至冰箱的储水盘。储水盘中的水可以通过冷凝器或者电加热器等加热蒸发。
在本申请某些实施例中,如图11所示,冰箱的制冰机的后端设置有卡轴129,接水盘160的后端设置有对应的卡钩161。图11展示了接水盘的安装过程。安装接水盘时,可以向将卡钩钩挂到卡轴129上(如160’展示的接水盘的位置和状态),然后向上抬起接水盘的前端,将接水盘的前端于制冰机前端固定(如160”展示的接水盘的位置和状态)。安装完毕后,接水盘160的前端高于接水盘160的后端。具体的,接水盘前端可以通过螺钉等固定在制冰机的前端。
为了实现制冰机120的快速制冰,制冷剂管131设置在制冰机120的冰格121的下部,并且于制冰机的冰格121热接触。
在本申请某些实施例中,制冷剂管131可以在制冰机的冰格121的底部直接接触。
在本申请某些实施例中,制冷剂管131可以在制冰机的冰格121通过导热材料接触。
为了制冷剂管131和冰格121的良好热接触。在本申请某些实施例中设置有制冰室制冷剂管路托架136。制冰室制冷剂管路托架136可以通过螺钉137固定在制冰机上,从而将位于制冰机120和制冰室制冷剂管路托架136之间的制冰室制冷剂管路131压合固定住。具体的,在某些实施例中,制冰室制冷剂管路131被压合在制冰室制冷剂管路托架136和冰格121的底部之间,于冰格121直接接触或者通过导热材料接触。
为了促进整个制冰室的热循环,在制冰机120的前端还设置有制冰风扇间室150有制冰风扇151。制冰室制冷剂管路托架为U型架,制冰室制冷剂管路托架136的内表面和和制冰机120之间形成了导风管路。该导风管路的后端敞开,形成开口1362。该导风管路的前端通过制冰风扇间室的 进风口152于制冰风扇间室连通。制冰风扇间室150的后侧在制冰机的下方开设有进风口152。制冰风扇间室150的前方开始有出风口153。风扇运行后,制冰风扇间室不断的从导风管路内吸入空气,并将空气向前方吹出。从制冰间室吹出的空气吹到制冰室前壁后向各个方向扩散,主要向下方扩撒。进而和整个制冰室内不同的部分如储冰盒,碎冰室等发生热交换。在制冰室制冷剂管路正常运行时,制冰室制冷剂管路的温度较低,从导风管路被吸入的空间和制冰室制冷剂管路发生热交换,温度相对较低。通过制冰风扇吹出后,扩散到各个不同的区间,促进了整个制冰室空间的冷却。
为了更好的促进空气的流通,在制冰室制冷剂管路托架136的底部开设有多个开口,空气可以通过管路托架136的底部的开口1361进入导流管路中。接水盘160安装后,制冰室制冷剂管路托架136位于接水盘160和制冰机120之间。制冰室制冷剂管路托架136的底部开设有多个开口朝向接水盘160。空气可以通过管路托架136的底部的开口1361进入导流管路中也间接促进了接水盘160附近的空气流动,减轻了接水盘160的结霜的可能性。
在本申请某些实施例中,如图14、图15、图16所示,制冰室的前侧壁后部设置有第一挡冰板170。具体的,第一挡冰板170位于制冰室的前侧壁118的后壳体1182的后部。

第一挡冰板170位于制冰风扇间室150的下方。第一挡冰板170可以全部位于储冰盒119内,或者后侧部分伸出储冰盒119。第一挡冰板170位于储冰盒119的前上方区域。第一挡冰板170的后部与上方的制冰风扇间室150以及接水盘160的下部设置有间隔。
储冰盒119内设置有输冰装置,用于向前侧的碎冰间室1180输送冰块。第一挡冰板170的设置,用于防止冰块过多的在储冰盒119前部积累,影响从制冰间室吹出的空气的扩散。同时,通过第一通风口171,从制冰 间室吹出的空气可以进入储冰盒119。
在某些实施例中,第一挡冰板170可以与制冰室的前侧壁118的后壳体1182一体成型。
在本申请某些实施例中,如图14、图15、图16所示,制冰室的前侧壁后部还设置有第二挡冰板180。具体的,第二挡冰板180的前侧固定在制冰室的前侧壁118的后壳体1182上,第二挡冰板180的后侧向后下方倾斜。第二挡冰板180位于第一挡冰板170的下前方。前侧壁前壳1181和前侧壁后壳1182之间设置有碎冰间室。碎冰间室1180与储冰盒119连通,第二挡冰板180位于碎冰间室1180与储冰盒119的连通口,即碎冰间室1180入冰口的上方。
第二挡冰板180设置有第二通风口181,第二通风口181可以包括多个通风口。每个第第二通风口的尺寸小于制冰格的尺寸,以保障由制冰格制取的冰块无法从该第二通风中穿过。通过第二通风口181,空气可以在碎冰间室1180与储冰盒119之间流通。
制冰风扇间室150的后侧在制冰机的下方开设有进风口152。制冰风扇间室150的前方开始有出风口153。风扇运行后,制冰风扇间室不断的从导风管路内吸入空气,并将空气向前方吹出。从制冰间室吹出的空气吹到制冰室前壁后向各个方向扩散,进而和整个制冰室内不同的部分如储冰盒,碎冰室等发生热交换。
储冰盒119内设置有输冰装置,用于向前侧的碎冰间室1180输送冰块。冰块通过碎冰间室1180入冰口进入碎冰间室1180。通过第二挡冰板180设置,一方面保障碎冰间室1180入冰口的正常开口大小,防止过大导致碎冰间室1180的碎冰装置工作时,冰块从碎冰间室1180返回储冰盒119。同时通过第二挡冰板180设置有第二通风口181,从制冰间室吹出的空气可以通过第二通风口181进入碎冰间室1180,加大了流通量。
在某些实施例中,第二挡冰板180可以与制冰室的前侧壁118的后壳体1182一体成型。
在本申请某些实施例中,同时设置有第一挡冰板170和第二挡冰板180。
在某些实施例中,第二挡冰板180可以与第一挡冰板170一体成型。

由于在冰箱的制造过程总需要先安装制冰室制冷剂管路131,然后才能对冰箱内胆15和冰箱外壳之间进行发泡。故需要对制冰室制冷剂管路进行131进行预固定。本申请某些实施例提供了一种具体的固定结构。
本申请某些实施例提供了一种冰箱,包括冷藏室,冷藏室内设置有制冰室;制冰机,设置在制冰室中。制冰室制冷剂管路;从冷藏室内胆外侧深入制冰室;至少部分制冰室制冷剂管路设置在制冰机下方;制冰室设置有制冰室后侧壁;后侧壁设置有保护件导管,保护件导管朝向制冰室内部延伸;保护件,围设在制冷剂管路上,并插入保护件导管;保护件导管可以用于限制保护件向制冰室内部的移动。

在本申请某些实施例中,第二上保护件1342和第二下保护件1332的至少一部分从第二导管中的前侧伸出,进一步对制冰室制冷剂管路起到保护作用。

在本申请某些实施例中,第二上保护件1342和第二下保护件1332的至少一部分从第二导管中的前侧伸出,进一步对制冰室制冷剂管路起到保护作用。
利用保护件和第一导管和第二导管共同对制冰室制冷剂管路进行上下左右方向的纤维,限制制冰室制冷剂管路的移动,一方面实现了对制冰室制冷剂管路的初步固定,同时对制冰室制冷剂管路进行了保护。也使得制冰室制冷剂管路可以更好的与制冷剂热接触。
在本申请某些实施例中,制冷剂管路131穿过冰箱内胆15,制冰室后侧壁115后,进入制冰室。制冰室后侧壁设置有向朝向制冰室前部延伸的第一导管1151,第一导管1151从后侧壁115的基板1150内侧向制冰室前侧延伸。第一导管1151的垂直制冷剂管路的延伸方向的截面的尺寸逐渐变小。同时,制冰室制冷剂管路130插入内胆15的部分的后部设置有保护件,具体的保护件可以包括下保护件133和上保护件134。在某些实施例中,上保护件和下保护件可以一体成型,制冰室制冷剂管路嵌套在保护 件中。将保护件围设在制冰室制冷剂管路130上后,将其插入第一导管1151。下保护件133和上保护件134的的垂直制冷剂管路的延伸方向的截面的尺寸逐渐变小,与第一导管1151相匹配。由于第一导管1151的垂直制冷剂管路的延伸方向的截面的尺寸逐渐变小,当保护件插入第一导管时,就限制了保护件的插入深度,从而实现了对插入件和制冰室制冷剂管路的上、下、左、右以及前侧的限位。在这种实现方式中,不再设置第二导管。上保护件和下保护件也仅仅一段式设置,结构更为简单。
在申请某些实施例中,设置有固定件135,固定件135与制冰室后侧壁115固定,保护件位于固定件135的前部。固定件135对保护件向后方移动进行限位。从而与前侧的导管配合在前后方向上限制了制冷剂古管路的活动,对制冰室制冷剂管路进行了初步定位。
在本申请某些实施例中,制冰室后侧壁115设置有限位导槽。固定件135可以沿限位导槽插入制冰室后侧壁115,固定件135平行与制冰室后侧壁的基板。固定件135位于保护件和限位导槽的限位部之间。
在本申请某些实施例中,固定件135设置有一侧开口的容纳槽,同时将制冰室制冷剂管路130嵌套在容纳槽中,使得固定件135的安装更为便捷。
上述实施例中提及的垂直制冷剂管路的延伸方向的截面时,制冷剂管路的延伸方向是指该制冷剂管路在截面位置的延伸方向。

本申请某些实施例中,储水罐到制冰机的供水管路至少部分位于冰箱发票层外部。储水罐到制冰机的供水管路先穿过冰箱的发泡层,从冰箱发泡层外部延伸到制冰机的位置,再次穿过冰箱发泡层、制冰机壳体的后侧壁,给制冰机供水。
本申请某些实施例中,储水罐到饮水机组件的供水管路至少部分位于冰箱发票层外部。储水罐到制冰机的供水管路先穿过冰箱的发泡层,从冰箱发泡层外部延伸到饮水机组件的位置,再次穿过冰箱发泡层给饮水机组件供水。
在某些实施例中,用水时水路系统工作过程如下:
1)当冰箱水路控制系统收到饮水指令时,外接水阀210、储水罐水阀260对应出水管262的阀门打开,外接水在水压作用下,依次流向外接水阀210、过滤器部件240、储水罐250、水阀B的出水管262,最后从饮水机组件300的出水口流出。
2)当冰箱水路控制系统收到制冰注水指令时,外接水阀210、储水罐水阀260对应出水管263的阀门打开,外接水在水压作用下,依次流向外接水阀210、过滤器部件240、储水罐250、储水罐水阀260的出水管263,最后从制冰室100的注水口流出,并进入到制冰机内开始制冰。
3)当冰箱水路控制系统同时收到饮水、制冰注水指令时,外接水阀210、储水罐水阀260对应出水管262、出水管263的阀门都打开,外接水在水压作用下,依次流向外接水阀210、过滤器部件240、储水罐250、储水罐水阀260的出水管262和出水管263,冷饮水分别从饮水机组件300 的出水口、制冰室100的注水口流出。
以上是制冰、饮水模块工作时,水路系统零部件基本的控制逻辑。上述过程中,当罐体251内预冷却的低温水从饮水机组件300和/或制冰室100流出后,外接的高温热水进入储水罐250,此时罐体251受热会膨胀,体积增大;随后在冷藏间室内随着温度的降低,罐体251会收缩,体积缩小。热水进入,罐体遇热体积膨胀增大时多储存的一部分水,在遇冷收缩过程中会流向储水罐出水管253,并通过储水罐水阀260的出水管262和出水管263排出。其中通往饮水机组件的出水口排出时会产生饮水口渗水问题。由于制冰功能模块所在区域的温度低于0℃,通往制冰室100的注水口排出时会产生注水口冻堵问题。
本申请实施例中,储水罐250后设有储水罐水阀260,当取水/制冰注水完成后,储水罐水阀260阀门闭合,封闭从储水罐出水管253向分别与饮水机组件300连通的储水罐水阀260的出水管262以及与制冰室100的注水口连通的储水罐水阀260的出水管263,从而避免因储水罐热胀冷缩被挤出的水从饮水机的出水口口和/或制冰机的注水口渗出。
本申请某些实施例中,供水系统内有两个或多个水阀,取水结束后,这些水阀之间的关闭时间间隔有先后要求。即储水罐250之前的210先关闭,间隔第一时间间隔,再关闭储水罐250之后的储水罐水阀260,利用惯性将罐体251内的水排出一部分。
由于储水罐250后设有储水罐水阀260,当罐体251内预冷却降温的饮用水排出后,外接的高温热水进入罐体251内,受热后罐体251膨胀,随后在冷藏间室内随着温度的降低罐体251会收缩。由于储水罐251流出的供水管路被储水罐水阀260封闭,罐体251内会产生一定的内压力。随着时间间隔的延长,上述过程中产生的内压力会逐渐增大,对储水罐250等水路零部件产生应力冲击;而随着取水/制冰注水次数的累积,上述应力冲击会持续产生并不断累积,从而降低储水罐250、以及与之连接的其他水路零部件的耐久性能。避免因储水罐250热胀冷缩挤压水产生的内压力损伤水路零部件的耐久性能。第一时间间隔的取值与前后两个水阀之间的相对位置关系、以及供水管路的布局等因素有关。
对于带有自动饮水功能的冰箱,取水后水流不尽、滴水问题一直是困扰此类产品的顽疾。其中一个关键原因是供水系统的零部件或供水管路内 有气体存积,例如水中的气泡无法排尽所致。外接水注入供水系统后,水流中混有气泡,导致饮水机出水口水流不连续、不完整,进而产生取水后水流不尽、滴水问题。经过研究发现,最容易产生困气问题的水路零部件是储水罐。
本申请某些实施例中。储水罐体进水口254位于储水罐体出水口255下方,首次注水时,水面从下到上依次填充罐体251,确保在水注满前先将罐体251内的空气排出。
在本申请某些实施例中,出水口255设置在罐体251的最高位置处,即储水罐250装配固定后,出水口255临近区域没有与出水口等高或高于出水口的点。为达到该效果,储水罐250的装配固定位置非常关键。需充分考虑出水口255在罐体251上的相对位置,合理设计储水罐250与冷藏箱胆底面的相对位置。
在本申请某些实施例中,储水罐体251为两端为球状的柱体。罐体251倾斜放置在冷藏室10a内。出水口255位于罐体251较高的一端的半球形部分上。
在本申请某些实施中,,储水罐体251为两端为球状的柱体。储水罐体251倾斜放置在冷藏室10a内。储水罐体251较低的一端放置在冷藏室的底部。出水口255位于罐体251较高的一端的半球形部分上。储水罐体251的中心轴与箱胆底面夹角为α,储水罐250装配固定后,出水口255位于罐体251的最高点,临近区域没有与出水口等高或高于出水口的点。α的取值需综合考虑储水罐250结构、冷藏室箱胆底面空间、以及储水罐250装配固定在冷藏箱胆底面的相对位置等因素,在不影响装配性及可制造性的前提下应优选取大值,推荐的,α≥5°。注水时,出水口255是最后一个被水面填充的点,确保排尽储水罐体251内的气泡;取水时,外接水通过进水口254涌入罐体251内,水面最高点最先从出水口255排出,从而解决取水后水流不尽、滴水问题。
对于带自动制冰或饮水功能模块的冰箱,由于冰箱外接水源直接与家庭输水系统连接,当输水系统的水压不稳定时,随着水压的波动,水路系统零部件会受到持续的水压冲击,降低其耐久性能。本申请某些实施例中,在外接水源与过滤器部件240之间增加一个外接水阀210。非工作状态下(无取水/制冰注水),通过外接水阀210封闭外接水源与冰箱水路系统, 从而保护水路关键零部件(如储水罐250、过滤器部件240等)免受水压波动的冲击。
在本申请某些实施例中,储水罐250内预冷却降温的冷饮水同时供给饮水机组件300、制冰室100。
本申请某些实施例中,如图17B所示,储水罐内预冷却降温的冷饮水单独供给饮水机组件,降低制冰注水时新注入的外接高温热水对冷饮水温度的干扰。过滤器组件后设置有过滤器水阀,过滤器水阀分别连通制冰机和储水罐。过滤器水阀连通储水罐的通路打时,从过滤器出来的水流入储水罐,进而可以通过储水罐流向饮水机组件。储水罐和饮水机组件之间设置有储水罐-饮水机水阀,用于控制储水罐向饮水机组件水路的连通或者关闭。
本申请某些实施例中,过滤器水阀与储水罐-饮水机水阀之间的关闭时间间隔有先后要求。即过滤器水阀先关闭,间隔第二时间间隔Δt,再关闭储水罐-饮水机水阀。
本申请某些实施例中,储水罐5之前的过滤器水阀和外接水阀之间的关闭时间间隔无特殊要求,两者可以同时关闭,
本申请某些实施例中,也可以先关闭外接水阀,间隔第三时间间隔Δt'之后再关闭过滤器水阀。
如图17A,图17B所示,本申请某些实施例中,供水系统中带有过滤器部件4。
如图17C,图17D所示,本申请某些实施例中,供水系统中没有过滤器部件4。特别的,当当用户家庭输水系统中已安装有水过滤净化设备时,可将水路系统内的过滤器部件取消。
如图17-3所示,在本申请某些实施例中,当储水罐内预冷却降温的冷饮水同时供给饮水机组件和制冰机组件。外接水阀连通储水罐,储水罐通过储水罐水阀分别与饮水机组件制冰机连通。外接水源中的水通过外接水阀流向储水罐,进而流向储水罐水阀,经过储水罐水阀之后分为两路,一路由通往饮水机组件,一路通往制冰机。
在本申请某些实施例中,外接水阀与储水罐水阀之间的关闭时间间隔 有先后要求。即储水罐之前的外接水阀先关闭,间隔第四时间间隔后,再关闭储水罐的储水罐水阀。
如图17D所示,在本申请某些实施例中,外接水阀分别与制冰机和储水罐连通,储水罐与储水罐-饮水机水阀连通。储水罐内预冷却降温的冷饮水单独供给饮水机组件。外接水源中的水流入外接水阀,经过外接水阀B之后分为两路,一路直接通往制冰机,另一路通往储水罐,经过储水罐流向储水罐-饮水机水阀,进而流向饮水机组件。
在本申请某些实施例中,储水罐-饮水机水阀与外接水阀之间的关闭时间间隔有先后要求。即储水罐之前的外接水阀先关闭,间隔第五时间间隔后,再关闭储水罐之后的水阀储水罐-饮水机水阀。
在本申请某些实施例的冰箱带有制冰机和饮水机组件。
在本申请某些实施例的冰箱带有制冰机,没有饮水机组件。供水系统可以做适应性增减,但布局方式及工作原理同前。
在本申请某些实施例的冰箱带有饮水机组件,没有制冰机。供水系统可以做适应性增减,但布局方式及工作原理同前所述。
在上述实施例中,第一时间间隔、第二时间间隔、第三时间间隔、第四时间间隔、第五时间间隔可以相同,也可以不同。
以上已经说明和描述了本申请的具体实施方式。然而,本申请不限于前述具体的示例性实施方式,并且本领域技术人员可以在权利要求的范围内各种各样地修改本申请而不背离所附权利要求所主张的本申请的主旨。
虽然已经用示例性实施方式描述了本申请,但是本领域技术人员可以想到各种各样的改变和修改。本申请的实施例之间可以做合理的结合。本申请旨在涵盖落入所附权利要求的范围内的这样的改变和修改。
以上,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到变化或替换,都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
