[0009] According to the water receiving tray of the utility model, the plurality of bottom water outlet holes are evenly distributed in the water outlet area, and a support sheet is arranged between two adjacent bottom water outlet holes.

[0010] According to the water receiving tray of the utility model, the supporting piece is in an arc shape.

[0011] According to the water receiving tray of the utility model, the inclination angle of the side surface of the water receiving tray is not less than 120°.

[0012] A refrigerator comprises an inner container and a heat-insulating layer; a water receiving tray is arranged between the inner container and the heat-insulating layer and is located at the lower rear side of the inner container.

[0013] According to the refrigerator of the utility model, a mounting groove for mounting the water receiving tray is provided on the heat-insulating layer.

[0014] According to the refrigerator of the utility model, a water guide groove connected to the side water outlet hole is provided in the installation groove; and a drainage hole located below the bottom water outlet hole is also provided in the water guide groove.

[0015] In summary, the utility model provides a side water outlet on the side; when the bottom water outlet is blocked by ice chips, the water level in the water receiving tray rises and flows out from the side water outlet. The side of the water receiving tray of the utility model is inclined, and ice chips cannot accumulate here to block the side water outlet, ensuring smooth drainage and avoiding the situation where defrost water overflows from the top of the water receiving tray. The utility model provides a refrigerator, wherein a water receiving tray is arranged at the lower rear side of the inner tank; an installation groove for installing the water receiving tray is arranged on the insulation layer, which can drain water without blockage.

[0023] See also Figure 4 The utility model provides a water receiving tray, including a bottom surface and a side surface; the bottom surface is provided with a bottom water outlet hole 11, and the side surface is provided with a side water outlet hole 12;

[0024] When the bottom water outlet 11 is blocked by ice chips, the water level in the water receiving tray rises and flows out from the side water outlet 12. Figure 3The side of the water receiving tray of the utility model is inclined, and ice chips cannot accumulate here to block the side water outlet hole 12, thereby ensuring smooth drainage and avoiding the situation where defrost water overflows from the top of the water receiving tray.

[0025] The inclination angle of the side of the water receiving tray 1 of the utility model is not less than 120°, preferably not less than 150°, so that the top has a larger opening to facilitate receiving defrost water.

[0026] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the water receiving tray includes two oppositely arranged bottom inclined surfaces 13; the intersection of the two bottom inclined surfaces 13 inclined downward forms a water outlet area, and a plurality of bottom water outlet holes 11 are opened in the water outlet area; the defrost water is collected at the bottom water outlet holes 11 along the bottom inclined surfaces 13 and discharged in a centralized manner.

[0027] See also Figure 5 A plurality of support sheets 14 are also provided in the water outlet area; when ice chips slide into the water outlet area, the support sheets 14 block them to prevent them from clogging the bottom water outlet hole 11.
