refrigerator

Abstract

The invention discloses a refrigerator which comprises a refrigerator body, a door body and a drain pipe, wherein a refrigeration compartment, a freezing compartment and a mechanical chamber are defined in the refrigerator body, the freezing compartment is located above the refrigeration compartment, and the mechanical chamber is located below the refrigeration compartment; the door body is mounted on the refrigerator body so as to open or close the refrigeration compartment and the freezing compartment; and the drain pipe is arranged in the refrigerator body, a first end of the drain pipe is communicated with the freezing compartment, and a second end of the drain pipe is communicated with the mechanical chamber. According to the refrigerator provided by the embodiment of the invention, one drain pipe is connected between the freezing compartment and the mechanical chamber, defrosting water in the freezing compartment can directly flow through the drain pipe communicated with the mechanical chamber and is discharged into the mechanical chamber without flowing through the refrigeration compartment, so that a risk of water leakage of the refrigeration compartment is prevented, and safety and reliability of the refrigerator are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of household appliances, in particular to a refrigerator. Background technique [0002] Existing refrigerators mostly use the drainage method in which the defrosting water in the freezing compartment is discharged into the water receiving tray of the refrigerating room through the return air duct, and then discharged into the water receiving tray of the mechanical room through the drain pipe connected to the water receiving tray of the refrigerating room. At the same time, the drain outlet through which the defrosting water in the freezer compartment enters the freezer compartment also serves as the return air outlet through which the return air from the freezer compartment enters the freezer compartment. In such a design, the defrosting water in the freezing compartment mixes with the return air in the refrigerating compartment, which will easily cause frost and ice to form at the drain outlet of the freezing compart...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In such a design, the defrosting water in the freezing compartment mixes with the return air in the refrigerating compartment, which will easily cause frost and ice to form at the drain outlet of the freezing compartment, resulting in ice blockage; The water tray is discharged into the water tray of the mechanical room through the drain pipe, and the defrosting water is easy to overflow at the junction of the refrigerated water tray and the drain pipe, causing the risk of water leakage in the refrigerated room
