Refrigerator and drainage pipe assembly thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a drainage pipe assembly applied to a refrigerator and the refrigerator having the same. The drainage pipe assembly comprises a pipe body, a drainage cover and a guide plate, wherein the top and the bottom of the pipe body are open to collect and drain the defrosted water of the refrigerator, the drainage cover is rotationally arranged at a lower end of the pipe body for sealing the bottom of the pipe body and configured in a way that the drainage cover can be opened when being subjected to impact force, and the guide plate is arranged in the pipe body for guiding the flow direction of the defrosted water so as to enable the defrosted water to produce the impact force on the drainage cover. According to the drainage pipe assembly provided by the invention, the drainage cover at the bottom of the pipe body is opened to drain the defrosted water when the refrigerator is in defrosting, and after the defrosting ends, the bottom of the pipe body is sealed by the drainage cover so as to prevent hot and moist air entering the refrigerator to increase the defrosting degree of the refrigerator; therefore, the refrigerating performance of the refrigerator is improved, the food preservation is also facilitated, meanwhile, the thermal load of the refrigerator is reduced, and the cost of use is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a drainpipe assembly for a refrigerator and a refrigerator with the same. Background technique [0002] At present, air-cooled refrigerators are automatically defrosted through a preset program. Defrost is generally heated by a heater installed at the lower end of the evaporator to defrost around the evaporator, and the defrosted water generated along the The bottom of the inner tank flows to the drain pipe, and finally flows into the water pan in the mechanical room. After defrosting, the hot air from the outside will enter the refrigerator along the drain pipe, which will affect the cooling performance and increase the temperature of the refrigerator. energy consumption. Contents of the invention [0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. [0004] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to pr...
