Dehumidifier

Abstract

A dehumidifier is provided that may include a bucket; a drain pan comprising a drain passage configured to guide condensed water dropped from an evaporator to the bucket; a pump; a barrier configuredto define a bucket space in which the bucket is accommodated; and a pump water inlet line and a pump water outlet line, which are connected to the pump. The pump water inlet line may include a flexible tube a portion of which is inserted into the bucket. The bucket may have an opening into which a portion of the flexible tube may be inserted. A portion of the flexible tube may be bent to be easilyinserted into the bucket through the opening of the bucket.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a dehumidifier, and more particularly to a dehumidifier having a bucket into which condensed water condensed in an evaporator is accommodated. Background technique [0002] A dehumidifier is an air conditioning device used to reduce humidity. [0003] A dehumidifier can dehumidify a room using a refrigeration cycle device including a compressor, a condenser, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator, and the dehumidifier can include: a drain pan to receive condensed water falling from the evaporator; The condensate that falls from the pan is contained in the pail. [0004] When condensed water accumulates in the pail, the user can remove the pail from the dehumidifier, discard the condensed water in the pail, and put the pail back into the dehumidifier. [0005] On the other hand, the dehumidifier can connect an additional outlet line to the drain pan, and install a drain pump in the outlet line, so that the condensed...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, as described above, in a dehumidifier having a branch pipe and a drain pump in the discharge pipe, leakage of condensed water may occur at the junction of the branch pipe and the discharge pipe, or the junction of the branch pipe and the extension pipe, in which case leaking condensate may contaminate the interior of the dehumidifier or the surroundings of the dehumidifier

[0008] In addition, since the discharge pipe is connected to the lower part of the water storage part, when the discharge pipe or the extension pipe is not used, it is necessary to use a plug to close the discharge pipe or the extension pipe respectively, and to install a check valve in the discharge pipe, resulting in a large number of parts , the dehumidifier is not easy to use when the user loses the plug
