Description

冰箱 技术领域
本发明涉及制冷装置领域，尤其涉及一种冰箱。
背景技术
一般来说，冰箱是在由门遮蔽的内部的储存空间中能够低温储存食物的家电装置。随着人们生活水平的提高，用户对储存空间的需求也日趋增加，除了增大箱体尺寸以储存更多物品的外，还会在门体上设置多个制冷间室，以满足储存要求，其中门体制冰方案更是得到广泛使用。
现有的门体制冰方案中，制冰间室内的制冰机主要利用水管从门体铰链处连通外部水源来进行取水，而水管则通过预埋的方式安装在门体的保温层内。但是，由于制冰机在门体内的位置相较于门体铰链处的距离较远，使得水管需要围绕制冰间室的边缘后再伸入制冰室内，导致了水管的长度较长，使得水管预埋在门体后，容易被保温层的发泡过程导致错位，从而增大了水管的安装难度，增加了冰箱的制造成本。
发明内容

具体实施方式
以下将结合附图所示的具体实施方式对本发明进行详细描述。但这些实施方式并不限制本发明，本领域的普通技术人员根据这些实施方式所做出的结构、方法、或功能上的变换均包含在本发明的保护范围内。
应该理解，本文使用的例如“上”、“下、”“外”、“内”等表示空间相对位置的术语是出于便于说明的目的来描述如附图中所示的一个单元或特征相对于另一个单元或特征的关系。空间相对位置的术语可以旨在包括设备在使用或工作中除了图中所示方位以外的不同方位。
设备可以以其他方式被定向(旋转90度或其他朝向)，并相应地解释本文使用的与空间相关的描述语。如在本发明中，为方便描述，在冰箱正常使用时，朝向地面的方向为向下，背离地面的方向为朝上；平行于地面的方向为水平方向，而垂直于地面的方向为竖直方向；靠近用户的一侧为前侧，远离用户的一侧为后侧。
参考图1到图6所示，本发明的优选的一实施方式提供的一种冰箱，该冰箱的门体20内设置有制冰机40，制冰机可以通过水盒30直接供水，也可以通过外部水源直接供水。
具体的，如图1所示，一种冰箱，包括箱体10以及枢轴连接箱体10的门体20。本实施例中，冰箱还包括设置于箱体10内的制冷风道以及通过管路连接的压缩机、冷凝器、蒸发器，以对箱体10以及门体内的储物间室进行供冷。其中，蒸发器在蒸发室内产生的冷量，会通过蒸发风机从制冷风道持续不断地输送至各个储物间室。门体20为处于冰箱上侧的冷藏室门体，从而方便用户取用。当门体20关闭时，前述制冷风道会连通门体20的内部间室，以将蒸发器产生的冷量输送至门体20内的各个间室中。
配合参照图2所示，所述门体20包括门壳21、形成第一间室23a的第一内胆23、形成第二间室25a的第二内胆25、位于门壳21与第一内胆23和第二内胆25之间的保温层27。本实施例中，第一间室23a与第二间室25a相邻设置，彼此之间相互隔离，可根据用户的需要进行各自的温度设置。门壳21与第一内胆23、第二内胆 25之间形成保温腔，保温层27为填充于保温腔内的发泡材料，用于阻断两个间室与门壳21外的热量传递。
具体的，所述冰箱还包括设置于第一间室23a内的水盒30、设置于第二间室25a内的制冰机40。本实施例中，为避免水盒30内的水结冰，将第一间室23a设置为冷藏室。为满足制冰机40的制冷需要，将第二间室25a设置为制冰室。
配合参照图3所示，进一步的，所述门体20还包括向制冰机40注水的注水机构29，所述注水机构29包括连通水盒30并向第二间室25a内延伸的第一水管29a。本实施例中，第一水管29a上可以设置阀门，通过阀门的打开，可将水盒30内注入制冰机40，以满足制冰机40的制冰需要。水盒30通过可以通过人工添加的方式进行加注，以满足制冰机40的用水需求。并且，水盒30内的水经过第一间室23的预冷后，再加注到制冰机40内进行制冰，提高了制冰机40的制冰效率。
具体的，所述第一水管29a在制冰机40的上方穿过保温层27。本实施例中，第一水管29a的固定端连通于水盒30底部，第一水管29a的自由端位于第二间室25a内，并处于制冰机40的上方。而且，第一水管29a同时穿过第一内胆23和第二内胆25，并布置于第一内胆23与第二内胆25之间的保温层27内，从而缩短了第一水管29a的长度，从而不易被保温层27的发泡过程导致错位。另外，即使被保温层27的发泡过程导致错位之后，由于第一水管29a相对较短，调节过程也较为方便。
为了进一步缩短第一水管29a的长度，可将水盒30设置于第一间室23a的底部，并将制冰机40设置于第二间室25a的顶部，即将水盒30与制冰机40紧邻设置。
第二间室25a内的制冰机40利用注水机构29的第一水管29a直接连通第一间室23a内的水盒30，通过水盒30供水的方式，使得第一水管29a的长度较小，第一水管29a预埋安装时的难度小，节约了冰箱的制造成本。
进一步的，所述第一内胆23与第二内胆25沿着箱体10的上下方向间隔设置。本实施例中，同等门体20面积的条件下，能够减小门体20在左右方向的尺寸。在一些实施例中，第一间室23与第二间室25也可以沿着左右方向间隔设置。
进一步的，所述门体20还包括设置于保温层27内并位于第一内胆23与第二内胆25之间的隔热件22，所述第一水管29a在隔热件22安装后与第一内胆23、第二内胆25对接。
本实施例中，先将第一水管29a固定于隔热件22内，再将第一水管29a的两端分别穿入第一内胆23、第二内胆25内，使得第一水管29a的两端分别与水盒30、制冰机40进行对接，最后在门壳21内的保温腔中填充保温层27，使得隔热件22固 定于保温层27内。这样一来，能够避免第一水管29a受到保温层27发泡过程而产生位置的偏差，进一步降低了第一水管29a的安装难度，从而节约冰箱的制造成本。
另外，本实施例中的隔热件22采用中空的结构，当第一水管29a与隔热件固定后，可对隔热件22的内部进行保温层27的填充。当然，也可以同时对门壳21内的保温腔和隔热件22的内部进行保温层27的填充，即当第一水管29a的两端对接完成后，对门壳21内的保温腔和隔热件22的内部填充发泡材料，从而将第一水管29a更牢靠地限位于保温层27内。
在其他实施例中，隔热件22还可以作为风道或者第一内胆23和第二内胆25之间的支撑件使用，从而合理利用门壳21内部空间。
配合参照图4所示，具体的，所述制冰机40包括成型冰块的冰盘40a，所述第一水管29a具有与冰盘40a相对的第一管29a1、连接第一管29a1并位于隔热件22内的第二管29a2、连接第二管29a2并连通水盒30的第三管29a3，所述第二管29a2相对于水平面倾斜设置于隔热件22内。
本实施例中，由于隔热件22内填充有保温层27，而且第二管29a2倾斜设置于隔热件22内，使得第二管29a2在隔热件22内不易产生晃动和偏移，提高了第一水管29a与隔热件22连接的稳定性。
而且，第二管29a2自第三管29a3朝向第一管29a1，水平高度逐渐降低。由于第二管29a2的设置，对第一水管29a内的液体产生缓冲作用，避免第一水管29a内的液体径直落向冰盘40a，在冰盘40a内产生液体飞溅的情况。
进一步的，所述注水机构29还包括连通水盒30并向门壳21外延伸的第二水管29b、设置于第二水管29b上的供水阀29c。本实施例中，水盒30还可以通过第二水管29b与外部水源相同，从外部水源直接供水，省去人工加水的方式。通过调节供水阀29c的开闭，实现第二水管29b的连通和关闭，从而更方便地控制水盒30的注水过程。
具体的，配合参照图5所示，所述第二水管29b具有连通供水阀29c与外部水源的第四管29b1、连通供水阀29c并向水盒30内延伸的第五管29b2，所述第四管29b1设置于保温层27内，所述第五管29b2、供水阀29c设置于第一间室23a内。本实施例中，外部水源通过第四管29b1流向第五管29b2，由于第四管29b1处于保温层27内，能够对第四管29b1进行有效地防护和隔热。将供水阀29c设置于第一间室23a内，从而方便用户操作。第五管29b2的自由端位于水盒30上方，并向水盒30内延伸。
具体的，所述第四管29b1具有连通供水阀29c并沿箱体10上下方向延伸的侧管29b11、连通侧管29b11与外部水源并沿箱体10水平方向延伸的顶管29b12，所述侧管29b11设置于第一内胆23背离门体20与箱体10铰接处的一侧。本实施例中，由于第一间室23a和第二间室25a的进出风口均位于门体20靠近其与箱体10铰接处的一侧，而将供水阀29c设置于第一间室23a背离门体20与箱体10铰接处的一侧，能够避免第一间室23a的进风口直吹供水阀29c。造成供水阀29c过冷导致无法正常工作。为此，第四管29b1需要围绕第一内胆23的边缘后再与第一间室23a内的供水阀29c对接。同理，由于为第一间室23a和第二间室25a供风的风道件设置于门体20靠近铰接处的一侧，将侧管29b11设置于第一内胆23背离门体20与箱体10铰接处的一侧，能够为风道件提供安装空间，而且还能避免受到风道件内冷量的辐射。
进一步的，配合参照图6所示，所述注水机构29还包括连通供水阀29c并向制冰机40内延伸的第三水管29d。本实施例中，供水阀29c采用一进二出电磁阀，使得第三水管29d与第五管29b2之间各自独立工作。第三水管29d的设置，实现了制冰机40通过外部水源直接供水，从而配合水盒30为制冰机40提供了多种注水方式，继而满足多种情况下制冰机40的供水需要。
具体的，所述第三水管29d具有连通供水阀29c并位于第一间室23a内的第六管29d1、连通第六管29d1并位于保温层27内的第七管29d2、连通第七管29d2并位于制冰机40上方的第八管29d3，所述第八管29d3的自由端朝向制冰机40内延伸。本实施例中，第六管29d1沿着箱体的水平方向延伸，将供水阀29c输出的液体平稳流入第七管29d2，经过第七管29d2流向第八管29d3，最终通过第八管29d3的自由端流入制冰机40内，合理利用门壳21的内部空间。
其中，所述第七管29d2沿箱体10的上下方向延伸，并位于第一内胆23a、第二内胆25a背离门体20与箱体10铰接处的一侧。本实施例中，第七管29d2将第六管29d1输送过来的液体径直流向第八管29d3，缩短了第三水管29d的长度。并且，由于为第一间室23a和第二间室25a供风的风道件设置于门体20靠近铰接处的一侧，将第七管29d2设置于第一内胆23背离门体20与箱体10铰接处的一侧，能够为风道件提供安装空间，而且还能避免受到风道件内冷量的辐射。
进一步的，所述第八管29d3在隔热件22安装后与第七管29d2、第二内胆25a对接。本实施例中，第八管29d3预先安装在隔热件22内，再与第七管29d2、第二内胆25a对接，然后将隔热件22固定于保温层27内，便于第八管29d3的安装，还 能够保证第八管29d3安装位置的准确。
具体的，所述第八管29d3包括连通第七管29d2并相对于水平面倾斜设置的导水管29d31、连通导水管29d31并与制冰机40相对的出水管29d32，所述导水管29d31设置于隔热件22内。本实施例中，由于隔热件22内填充有保温层27，而且导水管29d31倾斜设置于隔热件22内，使得导水管29d31在隔热件22内不易产生晃动和偏移，提高了第八管29d3与隔热件22连接的稳定性。
而且，导水管29d31自第七管29d2朝向出水管29d32，水平高度逐渐降低。由于导水管29d31的设置，对第七管29d2内的液体产生缓冲作用，避免第三水管29d内的液体径直落向冰盘40a，在冰盘40a内产生液体飞溅的情况。
配合参照图7所示，本发明的优选的另一实施方式还提供了第八管29d3的另一种安装方式，具体的，所述第七管29d2沿箱体10的上下方向延伸，并位于第一内胆23a、第二内胆25a背离门体20与箱体10铰接处的一侧，所述第八管29d3设置于第二间室25a内，并沿箱体10的水平方向延伸，所述第八管29d3的自由端位于制冰机40的正上方。
本实施例中，第八管29d3沿着箱体10的水平方向延伸，能够对第七管29d2输送过来的液体进行缓冲，从而平稳地输入制冰机40内，避免在冰盘40a内产生液体飞溅的情况。而且，第八管29d3直接从第二内胆25侧边的保温层27直接穿入第二间室25a，节约了第八管29d3的安装成本。
进一步的，配合参照图8所示，所述门壳21还包括容纳第一内胆23和第二内胆25的内壳21a、连接于内壳21a前侧的外壳21b、枢轴连接外壳21b并覆盖于第一间室23a前侧的第一门21c、枢轴连接外壳21b并覆盖于第二间室25a前侧的第二门21d。本实施例中，如图2，第一间室23a和第二间室25a分别具有独立启闭的第一门21c和第二门21d，从而进一步保证第一间室23a和第二间室25a内的温度分别可调，从而满足用户对多个间室具有多个不同温度的需要。
具体的，所述隔热件22固定于外壳21b上。本实施例中，第一水管29a在安装于隔热件22后，将第一水管29a与第一内胆23和第二内胆25对接，再将隔热件22固定于外壳21b上，最后在对门壳21内的保温腔以及隔热件22内部同时填充保温材料27，避免保温层27在发泡过程中对隔热件22造成位置偏差，从而降低了隔热件22的安装难度，还提高第一水管29a在门体20内的安装强度。
应当理解，虽然本说明书按照实施方式加以描述，但并非每个实施方式仅包含一个独立的技术方案，说明书的这种叙述方式仅仅是为清楚起见，本领域技术人员 应当将说明书作为一个整体，各实施方式中的技术方案也可以经适当组合，形成本领域技术人员可以理解的其他实施方式。
上文所列出的一系列的详细说明仅仅是针对本发明的可行性实施方式的具体说明，它们并非用以限制本发明的保护范围，凡未脱离本发明技艺精神所作的等效实施方式或变更均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
