Container seal structure, water supply apparatus for automatic ice making apparatus, and refrigerator equipped with the water supply apparatus

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seal structure capable of sufficiently achieving water seal without disposing a packing between a top face opening peripheral edge portion of a container body and a lower face peripheral edge portion of a cover body, in a water storage container of an automatic ice-making device for a refrigerator including the container body opened at a top face and provided with a main tank portion and a measurement tank portion disposed at a lower portion of the main tank portion so that ice-making water flows therein through a supply hole, and the cover body detachably mounted on the container body in a state of closing the top face opening of the container body.SOLUTION: An annular engagement groove is formed on any one of a top face opening peripheral edge portion of the container body and a lower face peripheral edge portion of the cover body, and a bendable annular engagement projection entering into the engagement groove is formed on the other. An upper end of a wall configuring the engagement groove includes an inclined face directed to the inside of the engagement groove, and the engagement projection slides on the inclined face while elastically deforming to enter into the engagement groove in mounting the cover body on the container body.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 30
