Just, at low cost using reliable.Specifically, the floating ball that can float on water can be used in float trap, and the diameter of floating ball is less than tube body
Diameter, so as to by water buoyancy and floating ball its own gravity collective effect, realize floating ball in drainage channel on move down
Dynamic, when such refrigerator is not at defrost state, the buoyancy for the water that floating ball is subject to is much smaller than the gravity of floating ball itself, thus float-level
Exit below drainage channel so that drainage channel is closed, to effectively prevent extraneous thermic load logical by draining
Road enters in refrigerator courage, avoids being flowed into refrigerator courage because of extraneous thermic load, cause compressor operating time lengthen and
The bad phenomenons such as the frosting of evaporator fin surface, icing；When refrigerator is in defrost state, the buoyancy for the water that floating ball is subject to is more than certainly
Body gravity, therefore floating ball overcomes its own gravity to move upwards under the action of buoyancy, i.e., floating ball leaves the outlet of drainage channel, makes
It obtains drainage channel to open, to which the water that defrost generates is discharged from exit, realizes drain assembly under refrigerator defrost state
Proper drainage；With the progress of drainage procedure, the buoyancy that floating ball is subject to is gradually reduced, when buoyancy is less than the gravity of floating ball itself
When, floating ball moves downward and is finally restored to the position at drain outlet so that drainage channel is closed, to prevent refrigerator
When not defrost, extraneous thermic load is entered by drainage channel in refrigerator courage.
