Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of dehumidification, and particularly relates to a multifunctional dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development and social progress, people have increasingly higher demands for quality of life, leading to the application of various air conditioning devices in daily life. Common air conditioning devices include air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and dehumidifiers. Among them, dehumidifiers are widely used because they can remove moisture from the environment and improve indoor comfort. In the rainy season or damp and cold weather in southern China, high humidity levels often cause dampness inside cabinets and moldy clothes, necessitating dehumidification of the air inside cabinets. However, ordinary dehumidifiers are expensive, bulky, and consume a lot of electricity. Portable dehumidifiers have emerged to meet this need and have captured a significant market share.

[0003] A dehumidifier includes a dehumidification mechanism and a drying mechanism. The dehumidification mechanism removes moisture from the environment, while the drying mechanism dries the dehumidification mechanism for reuse.

[0004] However, most portable dehumidifiers on the market rely on an external power cord to power an internal heating element, which then heats up to achieve a drying effect. The main drawbacks are as follows: 1. Existing dehumidifiers have limited functionality and poor drying performance; 2. Most internal heating elements are PTC heaters, which have a limited lifespan, and substandard PTC heaters pose an explosion risk; 3. Long recharging time; the color-changing desiccant indicator may show that the dehumidifier is dry, but it may not actually be completely dry. The color-changing desiccant cannot accurately indicate whether the dehumidifier has fully dried, leading to prolonged plugging and wasted electricity; 4. Relying on the desiccant, casing, and natural air conduction and exhaust, the drying efficiency is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a multifunctional dehumidifier to solve the problems of single function, high risk, waste of resources, and low drying efficiency of portable dehumidifiers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of the multifunctional dehumidifier of the present invention is as follows:

[0045] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0046] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0048] like Figure 1As shown, this invention provides a multifunctional dehumidifier, including a heating component 1, a dehumidification component 2, and an air duct component 3. When the environment to be dehumidified needs to be dehumidified, the dehumidification component 2 can be placed on the heating component 1 or placed alone in the environment to achieve the dehumidification function. When the moisture content inside the dehumidification component 2 is saturated, that is, when the dehumidification component 2 can no longer absorb moisture from the environment to be dehumidified, the dehumidification component 2 is placed on the heating component 1, and the heating component 1 dries the dehumidification component 2, so that the dehumidification component 2 can be reused. During the drying process of the dehumidification component 2, the air duct component 3 can be turned on or off. Turning on the air duct component 3 can accelerate the air circulation, so that the moisture can be quickly discharged from the dehumidifier vent 211 by utilizing the pressure difference and wind speed, thereby accelerating the drying efficiency.

[0049] like Figure 13 As shown, when the dehumidifying component 2 is not placed on the heating component 1, the heating component 1 can be used independently. A pot 9 can be placed on the heating component 1, and the heating component 1 heats the pot 9, thus cooking the food inside. It is understood that the pot 9 is generally made of metal, and the heating component 1 heats it quickly. The dehumidifying component 2 can also be used in different scenarios. Food to be heated or canned food such as eight-treasure porridge can be placed inside the dehumidifying component 2. The heating component 1 can be used to heat the dehumidifying component 2 to heat the food or the canned food. Of course, it is understood that the item to be heated does not have to be food or other items, as long as it meets the user's needs through heating. By using the dehumidifying component 2 and the heating component 1 in different scenarios, different functions of the multi-functional dehumidifier can be achieved, realizing multiple uses in one machine, meeting different user needs, and improving the user experience.

[0050] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the heating component 1 is provided with a heat dissipation channel 41, which is connected to the air duct component 3. The heat dissipation channel 41 is provided with an assembly part 411. The air duct component 3 includes a first air duct 31, which is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 311. The assembly part 411 and the snap-fit ​​part 311 are inserted and fixed together, allowing the air duct component 3 and the heating component 1 to be detachably connected. As an alternative embodiment, the assembly part 411 and the snap-fit ​​part 311 can also be connected by other snap-fit ​​or fastening methods, as long as the air duct component 3 can be easily installed and disassembled.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the assembly part 411 is configured as an opening, and the snap-fit ​​part 311 is configured as an insert plate. The insert plate includes two or more insert plates, which are arranged on opposite sides of the first air duct 31 so that after the insert plate is inserted into the opening, the insert plate and the wall of the opening abut against each other, thereby realizing the insertion and fixing of the assembly part 411 and the snap-fit ​​part 311.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, when the air duct assembly 3 heats the dehumidification assembly 2, the air duct assembly 3 is arranged around the outer wall of the dehumidification assembly 2 so that the hot air inside the air duct assembly 3 can fully contact the dehumidification assembly 2, thereby drying the dehumidification assembly 2. The hot air generated inside the air duct assembly 3 blows heat off the outer wall of the dehumidification assembly 2, causing air convection and accelerating the airflow. The pressure difference and airflow velocity are used to quickly expel water vapor from the dehumidifier's vent 211, accelerating the drying efficiency.

[0053] like Figure 6 The diagram illustrates the airflow direction during the drying process of a multi-functional dehumidifier. Specifically, the heating component 1 includes a bottom shell 11 with a panel 15 mounted on it, forming an accommodating space. A control structure 6, a cooling fan 4, and an intake fan 5 are disposed within this accommodating space. The cooling fan 4 is connected to the air duct assembly 3. An air inlet 12 is located on the bottom surface of the bottom shell 11. The intake fan 5 dissipates heat from the electronic components, and the cooling fan 4 draws hot air to the air duct assembly 3, causing the air duct assembly 3 to generate hot air to dry the dehumidifier 2.

[0054] Furthermore, the air duct assembly 3 includes a first air duct 31 and a second air duct 32, which are connected. The second air duct 32 is arranged around the outer wall of the housing 21 so that the first air duct 31 can uniformly heat the dehumidification assembly 2. The first air duct 31 is an annular air duct, and multiple upwardly oriented air outlets 321 are provided on the inner wall of the annular air duct so that the air outlets 321 blow out obliquely away from the heating assembly 1.

[0055] Furthermore, the outer wall of the housing 21 is provided with a plurality of vent holes 211, which can allow moisture from the desiccant 10 inside the dehumidification component 2 to be discharged. Preferably, the plurality of vent holes 211 can be evenly distributed at equal intervals.

[0056] The specific airflow direction inside the multifunctional dehumidifier provided by the present invention is as follows: During the operation of electronic components, heat is generated. The suction fan 5 dissipates heat from the electronic components. The hot air generated after heat dissipation is delivered to the first air duct 31 by the cooling fan 4. The hot air in the first air duct 31 is diverted and delivered to the multi-stage second air duct 32 so that the multi-stage second air duct 32 delivers hot air to the dehumidification component 2.

[0057] Specifically, the second air duct 32 is arranged in a ring shape and includes multiple air ducts. The multiple ring air ducts are connected to the first air duct 31 at equal intervals. The multiple second air ducts 32 are arranged to surround the outer wall of the housing 21 so that the air duct assembly 3 can blow air evenly to the dehumidification assembly 2 in multiple stages.

[0058] like Figure 10As shown, the inner wall of the second air duct 32 is provided with multiple air outlets 321, through which hot air inside the second air duct 32 is discharged. In a preferred embodiment, the multiple air outlets 321 are arranged at equal intervals and angled upwards, so that the airflow from the air outlets 321 blows obliquely away from the heating element 1. The upward-angled airflow from the air outlets 321 allows for the rapid discharge of humid hot water vapor emitted during the exhaust of the multi-functional dehumidifier. The upward-angled airflow utilizes the lower air pressure to quickly expel moisture from inside the dehumidification element 2 through a pressure difference, blowing it upwards. If the air outlets 321 blow air directly into the heat dissipation vent, it will blow moisture back into the dehumidification element 2; if the air outlets 321 blow air downwards, it will cause water accumulation in the heating element 1.

[0059] like Figure 11 As shown, the control structure 6 includes a control motherboard 61, on which a communication module is installed. It is understood that the power supply for the various components can be achieved using the power cord provided with the multi-functional dehumidifier, which is an existing design and will not be elaborated upon here. However, to make the various components structurally relatively independent, thereby improving the spatial layout flexibility of the multi-functional dehumidifier, preferably, the heating assembly 1 also includes a power supply component 63, which is electrically connected to the control motherboard 61. The power supply component 63 can be, for example, a dry cell battery or a button cell battery, making the power supply of the multi-functional dehumidifier more flexible and eliminating the need to consider the existing power cable layout in dehumidifiers.

[0060] Furthermore, the heating assembly 1 is also equipped with a wireless data transmission component 62. The power supply component 63 is electrically connected to the wireless data transmission component 62. The wireless data transmission component 62 is communicatively connected to the multi-functional dehumidifier. The wireless data transmission component 62 is also communicatively connected to the control motherboard 61, so that the control motherboard 61 controls the operation of the multi-functional dehumidifier after receiving the data transmitted by the wireless data transmission component 62.

[0061] Preferably, the wireless data transmission component 62 includes a Wi-Fi module or a Bluetooth module. In this technical solution, the wireless data transmission component 62 further simplifies data transmission between the multi-functional dehumidifier and the control motherboard 61, which further simplifies the cable layout of the multi-functional dehumidifier.

[0062] Specifically, the system can be powered by a battery pack to display the current weight during moisture absorption. When the weight reaches the preset saturation value / drying status value, the system will automatically alarm and transmit the alarm to other home appliances or portable mobile devices via the network to remind the user to start the drying or moisture absorption operation.

[0063] like Figures 7 to 9As shown, the dehumidification assembly 2 includes a housing 21 and a heat-conducting structure 24. The housing 21 has a first accommodating chamber 216, which is filled with a desiccant 10. The housing 21 is fitted over the heat-conducting structure 24, and the heat-conducting structure 24 and the desiccant 10 disposed inside the housing 21 are in contact, so that the heat-conducting structure 24 dries the desiccant 10.

[0064] Specifically, the heat-conducting structure 24 includes a chassis 243, on which a support column 242 is provided, and on the outer wall of the support column 242 are heat-conducting fins 241. The support column 242 and the heat-conducting fins 241 are housed in a first accommodating chamber 216. A gasket 25 is provided between the chassis 243 and the bottom surface 213 of the housing 21. The chassis 243, the gasket 25, and the housing 21 are fixedly connected by fasteners.

[0065] Furthermore, the housing 21 includes a bottom surface 213, on which a clearance hole 214 is provided. A support column 242 extends through the clearance hole 214 into the interior of the housing 21, so that a silicone gasket is provided between the bottom surface 213 and the chassis 243 to prevent the metal chassis 243 from overheating and damaging the housing 21. Assembly holes 215 are provided on opposite sides of the clearance hole 214, and fixing holes 2431 are provided on the chassis 243. The chassis 243 and the housing 21 are fixedly connected by expansion screws 26.

[0066] As a preferred embodiment, the heat-conducting fin 241 is configured as an umbrella-shaped structure. Of course, it is understood that the structure of the heat-conducting fin 241 can also be configured as a circular, square, or irregular structure. The structure of the heat-conducting fin 241 is not specifically limited here. All the above embodiments are within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0067] Preferably, the number of heat-conducting fins 241 can be set to one, two, or more. When the number of heat-conducting fins 241 is set to more than one, the multiple heat-conducting fins 241 are arranged at equal intervals on the support column 242 so that the heat-conducting fins 241 and the desiccant 10 are in full contact, thereby achieving full drying of the desiccant 10. The arrangement of the multiple heat-conducting fins 241 can be defined. The multiple heat-conducting fins 241 have different cross-sectional areas and are arranged from large to small from the bottom surface 213 of the shell 21 along the top surface 212 of the shell 21, so that the particles of the desiccant 10 slide down through the heat-conducting fins 241 of different areas step by step, thereby drying the desiccant 10.

[0068] like Figure 14 As shown, desiccant 10 is silica gel desiccant particles. Specifically, desiccant 10 is a recyclable silica gel desiccant, and its main material is silicon dioxide.

[0069] As a preferred embodiment, the upper surface of the heat-conducting fin 241 forms an angle with the bottom surface 213, that is, the upper surface of the heat-conducting fin 241 is set at a certain angle with the horizontal plane, or the upper surface of the heat-conducting fin 241 is set at an angle. In this way, the desiccant 10 particles will not remain on the surface of the heat-conducting fin 241 during the shaking process of the dehumidification assembly 2, but will slide off along the upper surface of the heat-conducting fin 241.

[0070] Specifically, the heat-conducting structure 24 described above can be an integrally molded structure or a welded structure. The material of the heat-conducting structure 24 is specifically limited to being made of metal.

[0071] Furthermore, a second accommodating chamber 23 is provided on the top surface 212 of the housing 21. A color-changing desiccant is placed inside the second accommodating chamber 23. A display window 22 is provided on the upper part of the second accommodating chamber 23. The color-changing desiccant 10 can be observed through the display window 22 to observe the saturation level of the desiccant 10 in the first accommodating chamber 216.

[0072] Specifically, the housing 21 includes a top surface 212, on which a mounting hole 2121 is provided. The mounting hole 2121 and the display window 22 are fastened together. Opening the display window 22 makes it convenient for the user to replace the desiccant 10 in the second accommodating chamber 23.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, the color-changing desiccant 10 is configured as color-changing silica gel desiccant particles, turning green when saturated with moisture and orange when dried. The first accommodating chamber 216 and the second accommodating chamber 23 are connected to ensure the exchange of air and moisture. A transparent display window 22 at the top allows observation of the color change of the color-changing desiccant 10, thereby determining the saturation level of the desiccant 10 inside.

[0074] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 The heating component 1 includes an electromagnetic structure. When the electromagnetic structure is energized, it heats the thermally conductive structure 24 of the metal, thereby drying the dehumidification component 2. The heating component 1 includes a bottom shell 11, on which a ceramic panel is disposed. An energized coil 7 is disposed on the ceramic panel. When the coil 7 is energized, it causes eddy currents to be generated in the thermally conductive structure 24, thereby heating the dehumidification component 2.

[0075] Furthermore, a display component 151 is provided on the ceramic panel. The display component 151 is used to display humidity or weight, and the weight of the dehumidifier can be used to determine whether the desiccant 10 inside the dehumidifier is completely saturated with moisture and dried.

[0076] Furthermore, a temperature sensor 8 is provided on one side of the coil 7 to detect the temperature of the ceramic panel. The power of the coil 7 can be adjusted according to the temperature control logic, and the power can be cut off to protect the ceramic panel from overheating.

[0077] Furthermore, a support base 13 is provided on the bottom surface 213 of the base shell 11, and a weight sensor 14 is provided on one side of the support base 13 to determine whether the desiccant 10 inside the dehumidifier is completely saturated with moisture or completely dried. Of course, it is understandable that the base shell 11 can also be used as a standalone scale, thereby realizing the multi-functional use of the dehumidifier, saving floor space, achieving multiple uses in one machine, and improving the user experience.

[0078] The multifunctional dehumidifier provided by this invention operates as follows: The dehumidification component 2 is placed on the electromagnetic base in a sealed space, and the dehumidification component 2 absorbs moisture from the environment to be dehumidified. The electromagnetic base weight sensor 14 starts working, detecting whether the weight of the entire unit falls within the preset drying weight and preset moisture saturation weight range. If it does, the desiccant 10 is determined to be absorbing moisture normally, and the alarm device does not sound. If the weight of the entire unit equals the preset moisture saturation weight, the buzzer sound is lowered, the dehumidification component 2 has completed moisture absorption, the wireless transmission component sends a reminder, the home appliance alarms, and the mobile phone or communication device receives the information, allowing the user to remove the dehumidification component 2 from the space. The heating component 1 dries the dehumidification component 2. The electromagnetic base weight sensor 14 operates, and the suction fan 5 and the cooling fan 4 operate simultaneously. At this time, it is detected whether the weight of the entire unit falls within the preset drying weight and preset moisture saturation weight range. If it does, the electromagnetic base coil 7 is energized, the heat conduction structure 24 heats up, continuously drying the dehumidification component 2, and the buzzer does not sound. If the total weight of the machine equals the preset drying weight, the electromagnetic base will be powered off, drying will be complete, the appliance will sound an alarm, and a mobile phone or communication device will receive a message.

[0079] The multifunctional dehumidifier provided by this invention has the following advantages:

[0080] (1) The multi-functional dehumidifier provided by the present invention can realize multiple functions of the multi-functional dehumidifier by setting the dehumidification component 2 and the heating component 1 independently. The heating component 1 is placed separately to heat the cooking utensils or to place the items to be heated in the dehumidification component 2 and heat the items to be heated by the heating component 1, thus meeting the different usage needs of users.

[0081] (2) The multifunctional dehumidifier provided by the present invention dries the dehumidification component 2 by electromagnetic heating. There is no need to place heating components inside the dehumidification component 2, which improves the safety of use.

[0082] (3) By setting the external air duct assembly 3, the outer wall of the dehumidification assembly 2 is blown to dissipate heat, accelerate air convection, and use pressure difference and wind speed to make water vapor quickly discharged from the dehumidifier vent 211, thereby accelerating the drying efficiency.

For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.

[0084] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
