A water receiving box and a refrigerator

Abstract

The invention provides a water receiver and a freezer comprising the same. The water receiver comprises a shell and a water absorption sheet; an inner cavity, a water inlet and an insertion opening are formed in the shell; the water inlet and the insertion opening communicate with the inner cavity; the water inlet is used for being connected with a water drainage pipe; and the water absorption sheet closes the insertion opening and is partially inserted into the inner cavity. The water receiver not only effectively improves the evaporation efficiency of water inside the water receiver, but also solves the problems of splashing and overflowing of water inside the water receiver.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to a structural improvement of a water receiving box in a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] The arrangement of the drainpipe and the water receiving box in the existing horizontal freezer is that the drainpipe directly extends into the open type water receiving box. When the water level in the water receiving box is low, due to the open structure of the water receiving box, the hot air flow blown from the side of the compressor is easily poured into the inside of the cabinet from the bottom of the drain pipe. Cause the problem of frosting inside the cabinet. When the water receiving box moves with the horizontal refrigerator, the water in the water receiving box can easily be splashed out with the movement of the cabinet due to the open structure of the water receiving box. In addition, the water in the existing water receiving box evaporates relatively slowly. Whe...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

When the water level in the water box is low, due to the open structure of the water box, the hot air blown from the compressor side is easily poured into the cabinet from the bottom of the drain pipe. Cause the problem of frosting inside the cabinet

When the water receiving box moves with the horizontal freezer, due to the open structure of the water receiving box, it is very easy to cause the water in the water receiving box to splash out with the movement of the cabinet

In addition, the water in the existing water receiving box evaporates relatively slowly. When the amount of defrosting water in the freezer is large, the slow evaporation will easily cause the water in the water receiving box to overflow.
