STRUCTURE FOR CONNECTING FLOW SENSOR APPARATUS TO WATER VALVE FOR REFRIGERATOR

摘要

PURPOSE: A structure for coupling a flow sensor of a water valve for a refrigerator is provided to improve workability by enhancing an assembly structure of a water valve and a flow sensor, thereby increasing productivity. CONSTITUTION: A structure for coupling a flow sensor of a water valve for a refrigerator comprises a water valve body(10). An inlet(21) of a flow sensor(20) is formed to surround an outlet(11) of the water valve body. A packing(30) is inserted in the inlet part to closely fasten with the outlet. A recessed groove(12) is formed on the exterior of the outlet. A fastening hole(22) is formed in the inlet to assemble a clip ring(40) with protruded parts(41) on the exterior of the inlet. A reinforcing support is formed in the water valve body. A rail bar(23) corresponding to a fitting part of the reinforcing support is formed in the side of the inlet. The fitting part and the rail bar are slidingly coupled to dually fix the water valve body and the flow sensor with the clip ring and the reinforcing bar.
