It is understood that, in the embodiment where the water injection pipe 11 and the water supply pipe 12 are a single pipe, the first communication port 111 may be formed in the pipe wall of the water injection pipe 11, and the above technical effects may also be achieved.
Referring to fig. 3 to 5, based on the ice making assembly, the water draining device further includes an accumulator 131 for pushing at least a portion of water in the water filling pipe 11 to drain to the ice making machine 2 after the water supply is finished.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a connection portion between the water injection pipe 11 and the water supply pipe 12 or the water injection pipe 11 further includes a second communication port 112, and the second communication port 112 is spaced apart from the first communication port 111 and communicates the inside and the outside of the water injection pipe 11. The accumulator 131 is connected to the second communication port 112.

The two cavities 37 are respectively a first cavity 371 close to the first communication port 111 and a second cavity (not numbered) far away from one end of the first communication port 111. When water is delivered, part of the water enters the first cavity 371, the piston 1312 moves in a direction away from the second communication port 112 under the action of the water pressure of the first cavity 371, and after the water delivery pipe 12 finishes delivering water, the driving member 1313 drives the piston 1312 to move in a direction close to the second communication port 112 under the action of elastic restoring force, so as to push at least part of the water in the water injection pipe 12 to flow into the ice maker 2.
When water is delivered, the water enters the first cavity 371 and applies force to the piston 1312 so that the piston 1312 moves away from the second communication port 112, and when the piston 1312 moves, the water acts on the elastic member so that the elastic member is elastically deformed. The elastic member is located in a cavity away from the second communication port 112, and when the water supply from the water supply pipe 12 is completed, the elastic member returns to a free state, and the piston 1312 is driven to move toward the second communication port 112 by the elastic restoring force thereof.

It is understood that the elastic member may be connected to the first casing 1311, or may directly abut against the first casing 1311. Specifically, the elastic member is disposed on a side of the piston 1312 far from the first communication port 111, so that water entering the first cavity 371 is prevented from impacting the elastic member, and one end of the elastic member is connected to the first housing 1311.

Alternatively, the check valve 132 and the accumulator 131 are integrally provided in the first communication port 111, and the specific configurations of the check valve 132 and the accumulator 131 may be as described in the above embodiment, except that: the portion of the accumulator 131 corresponding to the second communication port 112 is changed to the first communication port 111.
Specifically, the accumulator 131 has a third communication port that penetrates the first housing 1311 and the piston 1312 and communicates with the first communication port 111, and the second housing 1321 communicates with the third communication port.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 4 and 5, the accumulator 131 has a through passage penetrating the first housing 1311 and the piston 1312, the through passage constituting the third communication port; the second housing 1321 is fitted in the through passage and communicates with the third communication port. When the check valve 23 and the accumulator 24 are integrally arranged, the use mode of the check valve and the accumulator is the same as that of the single arrangement, and the description thereof is omitted.
Based on any one of the ice making assemblies 100, when the water supply is finished, the energy accumulator 131 provides an initial power to the water in the water injection pipe 11 to enable the water to flow to the ice making machine 2, and at the same time, the check valve 132 is opened, so that the water in the water injection pipe 11 is pushed to the ice making machine 2 by using the difference between the internal pressure and the external pressure of the water injection pipe 11, the water in the water injection pipe 11 is discharged into the ice making machine 2, no residual water is left in the water injection pipe 11, and the same technical effect as the previous embodiment can be achieved.
In the present application, the water injection pipe 11 and the water supply pipe 12 are not specifically limited, and for convenience of description, a section of the pipeline close to the water source is called a water supply pipe 12, and a section of the pipeline close to the ice maker 2 is called a water injection pipe 11; in the embodiment with the check valve 132 and/or the accumulator 131, the position of the check valve 132 and/or the accumulator 131 is the connection between the water injection pipe 11 and the water feeding pipe 12 or on the water injection pipe.

In addition, the refrigerator also comprises a refrigerating chamber, the refrigerator comprises a heat insulation layer positioned on the periphery of the refrigerating chamber and a protective pipe arranged in the heat insulation layer, the protective pipe is embedded in the heat insulation layer in advance, and when the ice making assembly 100 is installed, the water injection pipe 11 penetrates through the protective pipe and is communicated with the ice maker 2 from the protective pipe, so that on one hand, low-temperature air in the freezing chamber can be prevented from entering the pipe along the water injection pipe 11, and the water injection pipe 11 is prevented from being blocked and frozen; on the other hand, the installation of the water injection pipe 11 is facilitated in terms of process.
Further, the heat insulation cotton is arranged between the protective pipe and the water injection pipe 11, so that the water injection pipe 11 can be effectively prevented from being blocked due to freezing, and subsequent use of a user is influenced.
In summary, in the ice making assembly of the present invention, by providing the drainage device 13, when the water supply is finished, the energy accumulator 131 pushes the water in the water injection pipe 11 to flow into the ice making machine 2, so that there is no residual water in the water injection pipe 11, thereby preventing the residual water in the water injection pipe 11 from freezing, and the water injection pipe 11 is not easy to breed bacteria, which results in the occurrence of ice blockage; in addition, the water in the water injection pipe 11 is discharged into the ice maker 2, so that the water saving effect is achieved.
