Refrigerator

Abstract

The invention provides a refrigerator. The refrigerator comprises a machine shell, a water receiving disc and a water retaining assembly. A cooling chamber is defined in the machine shell. The water receiving disc is located in the cooling chamber, and a water draining hole is formed in the bottom of the water receiving disc. The water retaining assembly is arranged at the position of the water draining hole and comprises a fixed portion and a movable portion. The fixed portion is connected with the bottom of the water receiving disc and arranged on the periphery of the water draining hole. The movable portion is made of a heated deformation material and extends from the fixed portion to the water draining hole, and the movable portion is configured to be folded at a preset angle in the direction away from the water draining hole after the preset temperature threshold value is reached so that the water draining hole can be exposed. According to the refrigerator, the temperature of the movable portion is changed, the movable portion deforms and is folded so that the water draining hole can be exposed, water draining is started, control over the water draining hole is achieved, the water draining hole is closed when water draining of the refrigerator is not needed, external air is prevented from entering the refrigerator of the cooling chamber, the energy consumption of the refrigerator is reduced, and the use experience feeling of a user is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of refrigeration equipment, in particular to a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] During the use of the refrigerator, since the temperature of the evaporator is lower than the external temperature, the evaporator may condense the water vapor in the external air and then form frost on the surface of the evaporator, which will easily affect the cooling effect and efficiency of the refrigerator, and even cause A quality accident occurs. In order to solve the problem of frosting on the evaporator, in the prior art, a heating wire and a water tray with drainage holes are arranged on the evaporator, in order to melt the frost on the evaporator and discharge it through the drainage holes. However, if the drain hole is connected to the outside, outside air may enter the evaporator chamber of the refrigerator, which not only increases the energy consumption of the refrigerator, but also makes it difficult for the ref...
