Drainage assembly for refrigerator and refrigerator

Abstract

The invention discloses a water drainage assembly for a refrigerator and the refrigerator, relates to the technical field of refrigerators, and solves the problems that in the refrigeration process of the refrigerator in the prior art, external air can be pressed into the refrigerator along with a water drainage pipe, meanwhile, internal cooling capacity can be dissipated outwards through the water drainage pipe, and consequently the energy consumption of the refrigerator is high. The water drainage assembly for the refrigerator comprises a water pipe connector arranged at the end of a water drainage pipe, an end cover is arranged on the water pipe connector and has a water storage state and a water drainage state, the end cover in the water storage state seals the water pipe connector and is used for collecting defrosting water, and the end cover in the water drainage state is used for discharging the collected defrosting water into the water drainage pipe. And when the defrosting water collected by the end cover is accumulated to a preset value, the end cover is automatically switched from the water storage state to the water drainage state, and the end cover is reset to the water storage state after the defrosting water is drained. According to the water drainage assembly for the refrigerator, the water drainage effect can be achieved, and the energy consumption of the refrigerator can be greatly reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigerators, in particular to a drainage assembly for a refrigerator and a refrigerator including the drainage assembly. Background technique [0002] In traditional air-cooled refrigerators, there is a drainage hole at the bottom of the evaporator for discharging defrosting water. The defrosting water is discharged into the drain pipe through the hole, and then the defrosting water is discharged to the water receiving tray through the drain pipe. During the refrigeration process of the refrigerator, due to the connection of the drain pipe, the external air will be pressed into the interior of the refrigerator along with the drain pipe, which will cause the refrigerator to require additional cooling capacity to cool the gas, resulting in high energy consumption of the refrigerator; on the other hand, the refrigerator The internal cooling capacity will also be dissipated outward through the drain pipe, r...
