Q1: <...Can you tell me thw working principle of auto drain trap?...>

A1: It works by the presence of liquid operating a mechanism that expels that liquid from the system.

Q2: <...Is it working in mechanical mode or timerbased mode?...>

A2: Without posting a photograph, it is impossible to tell.

Usually it's a simple floatation device. When the water level is high enough, the float rises, opening the valve to drain the trap.
