[0085] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following further describes the embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0086] Figure 1 is a structure of the water pan and a schematic diagram of a water blocking state thereof provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 2 is Figure 1 is an enlarged view of a partial structure at A in FIG. 1. Figure 3 is a structure diagram of the water tank 300 when the water tank 300 is below the water pan provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 4 is a structure of the water pan and a schematic diagram of a water blocking state thereof provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 5 is Figure 4 is an enlarged view of a partial structure at B in FIG. 2.

[0087] It should be noted that, Figures 1-5 The structures of the pan body 200 and the water tank 300 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are only examples and do not constitute a limitation on the present solution. The drainage device 100 of the present embodiment can also be applied to pan bodies 200 and water tanks 300 of other structural forms, which are not limited by the present disclosure.

[0088] In addition, the present disclosure Figures 1-10 In the present embodiment, arrow a represents the flow direction of the condensed water, arrow b represents the moving direction of the pushing part 11, and arrow c represents the moving direction of the water tank 300.

[0089] On the one hand, in combination with Figure 1 , 2 The present embodiment provides a water pan, which comprises: a pan body 200, wherein a drainage passage 4 is formed on the pan body 200; and a drainage device 100, which is arranged on the pan body 200 and located in the drainage passage 4; the drainage device 100 can control the drainage passage 4 to be unblocked or blocked under the action of an external force.

[0090] The water pan of the present embodiment is provided with the drainage device 100 in the drainage passage 4 of the pan body 200, which can control the drainage passage 4 to be unblocked or blocked according to the action of an external force, so that the pan body 200 can be controlled to drain water. In the state that there is no water tank 300 below the pan body 200, the drainage device 100 can be controlled to block the drainage passage 4 by an external force, so that the condensed water in the pan body 200 stops discharging outward, thereby solving the problem of water leakage of the dehumidifier.

[0091] In some possible implementations, referring to Figure 2 , 3 At least part of the structure of the drainage device 100 extends to the position of the water tank 300, so that the drainage device 100 can be driven by the external force generated during the process of loading and unloading the water tank 300 to control the drainage passage 4 to be unblocked or blocked.

[0092] Preferably, when the water tank 300 is installed in place, the water tank 300 provides an external force to the drain device 100 to control the unobstruction of the drain passage 4, and when the water tank 300 is not installed in place, the drain device 100 uses the external force such as gravity, elastic force, etc. to control the obstruction of the drain passage 4.

[0093] In some other possible implementations, the drain passage 4 has a water outlet pipe 7, which is the only passage for the condensed water in the drain passage 4 to be discharged outside. The drain device 100 controls the unobstruction and obstruction of the drain passage 4 by controlling the opening and closing of the water outlet pipe 7.

[0094] In combination Figure 2 As shown in some embodiments, the drain device 100 comprises a movable piece 1, which is capable of moving up to a predetermined position to unblock the drain passage 4 when subjected to an upward force and is capable of moving down to a predetermined position to block the drain passage 4 when subjected to a downward force.

[0095] This embodiment uses the movable piece 1 with the ability to move up and down in the vertical direction to unblock or block the drain passage 4. When the movable piece 1 is subjected to an external force, it moves vertically, thereby unblocking or blocking the drain passage 4.

[0096] In combination Figures 1-5 As shown in some embodiments, the disc body 200 is provided with a passage part 5 penetrating the disc body 200 in the vertical direction.

[0097] The movable piece 1 comprises a pushing part 11 and a water blocking part 12 connected to each other; the pushing part 11 is movably arranged in the passage part 5; the water blocking part 12 is movably arranged in the drain passage 4; the pushing part 11 is capable of moving up and down along the vertical direction of the passage part 5 under the action of an external force and drives the water blocking part 12 to move up and down; the water blocking part 12 is capable of unblocking the drain passage 4 when moved up to a predetermined position and is capable of blocking the drain passage 4 when moved down to a predetermined position.

[0098] The pushing part 11 and the water blocking part 12 of the movable piece 1 are movable up and down. When the pushing part 11 is subjected to an upward external force, the pushing part 11 is lifted to an upper stop point, and the water blocking part 12 is integrally moved above the drain passage 4, thereby unblocking the drain passage 4 and allowing the disc body 200 to normally drain water. When the pushing part 11 is subjected to a downward external force, the pushing part 11 is pressed down to a lower stop point, and the water blocking part 12 is integrally moved downward into the drain passage 4, thereby blocking the drain passage 4 and stopping the disc body 200 from draining water, so as to realize the controlled drainage of the water receiving disc and solve the problem of water leakage after the water tank 300 is removed.

[0099] In combination Figure 2 , 5As shown, in some embodiments, the drainage device 100 further comprises: a fixed part 2 fixedly connected with the disc body 200, the fixed part 2 being arranged above the movable part 1 and having a predetermined interval with the movable part 1; and an elastic part 3 arranged between the fixed part 2 and the movable part 1 and connected with the fixed part 2 and the movable part 1 respectively, the elastic part 3 being deformed when subjected to a first pressure in the upward direction applied by the movable part 1, and restoring the shape by its own elasticity after the first pressure disappears, and applying a second pressure in the downward direction to the movable part 1 in the process of restoring the shape; the movable part 1 moving downward when subjected to the second pressure.

[0100] The fixed part 2 can be used to fix the drainage device 100 on the disc body 200, and the elastic part 3 can be arranged on the movable part 1, the elastic part 3 providing the movable part 1 with an elastic external force to move downward, ensuring that the movable part 1 reaches the lower limit point and has a certain elastic pre-tightening, ensuring the reliability when the drainage passage 4 is blocked.

[0101] For the upper limit point and the lower limit point, the movable part 1 of the embodiment realizes drainage and water blocking by its own upward and downward movement, the limit position of the upward movement of the movable part 1 being the upper limit point, and the limit position of the downward movement of the movable part 1 being the lower limit point.

[0102] Optionally, a limiting step, a limiting protrusion, a groove or the like structure is arranged at the corresponding position of the disc body 200 and / or the fixed part 2, for preventing the movable part 1 from further moving upward or downward, thereby forming the upper limit point and the lower limit point.

[0103] In some possible implementations, whether the movable part 1 is subjected to the upward external force depends on whether the water tank 300 is below the disc body 200. When the water tank 300 is below the disc body 200, the water tank 300 applies an upward pushing force to the movable part 1, the lower end of the pushing part 11 is subjected to a force (pressure from the top of the water tank 300) greater than the force (elastic force from the elastic part 3) at the upper end, the pushing part 11 moves upward until reaching the upper limit point, at this time, the water blocking part 12 is moved above the drainage passage 4, the drainage passage 4 is unblocked, and the condensed water in the disc body 200 is discharged into the water tank 300 along the drainage passage 4.

[0104] When the water tank 300 is not below the disc body 200 (for example, when the water tank 300 is taken out for cleaning the condensed water, etc.), the lower end of the pushing part 11 is subjected to zero force, and the upper end is subjected to the pressure of the elastic force of the elastic part 3, the pushing part 11 moves downward until reaching the lower limit point, at this time, the water blocking part 12 is moved into the drainage passage 4, the drainage passage 4 is blocked by the water blocking part 12, and the condensed water in the disc body 200 stops discharging.

[0105] Figure 6 is a structural sectional view of the water collecting disc provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0109] In some possible implementation manners, the elastic member 3 is a spiral spring, the first positioning part 112 is an annular groove structure, and the second positioning part 21 is an annular protruding structure.

[0110] In combination with Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the water plugging part 12 includes a rubber plug body 121 and a support body 122; the support body 122 is connected with the pushing part 11 and extends into the drainage channel 4 along the pushing part 11; the rubber plug body 121 is located on the support body 122; and the support body 122 drives the rubber plug body 121 to move with the pushing part 11.

[0122] As shown in Figure 6 , 8 , in some embodiments, the first water plugging part 12111 is provided with a first sealing rib 12113, and the second water plugging part 12112 is provided with a second sealing rib 12114; the first sealing rib 12113 is located between the first water plugging part 12111 and the step slope surface 411, one end of the first sealing rib 12113 is connected with the first water plugging part 12111, and the other end is inclined along the direction of the condensate water flow; the second sealing rib 12114 is located between the second water plugging part 12112 and the step top surface 412, one end of the second sealing rib 12114 is connected with the second water plugging part 12112, and the other end is inclined in the opposite direction of the condensate water flow.

[0123] In order to further improve the water plugging effect of the rubber plug body 121, the first sealing rib 12113 is arranged between the first water plugging part 12111 and the step slope surface, and the second sealing rib 12114 is arranged between the second water plugging part 12112 and the step top surface 412; the thickness of the first sealing rib 12113 and the second sealing rib 12114 is small, so that the pressure accumulation deformation occurs after being pressed, thereby further sealing the gap between the rubber plug body 121 and the drainage channel 4.

[0124] As shown in Figure 2 , 5 , in some embodiments, the pushing part 11 is a cylindrical member, and the channel part 5 located on one side of the disc body 200 is provided with a water blocking part 6 for preventing the condensate water from entering the channel part 5.

[0125] The pushing part 11 is cylindrical, the pushing part 11 is subjected to axial force and moves along the axial direction, the structure of the pushing part 11 is simple, and the strength and movement characteristics are stable and reliable. The pushing part 11 extends to the lower side of the disc body 200 through the channel part 5 penetrating the disc body 200, so that the lower end of the pushing part 11 contacts the water tank 300 and is pushed upward by the pushing part 11 when the water tank 300 is below the disc body 200. In order to prevent the channel part 5 from leaking condensate water, the water blocking part 6 is designed around the channel part 5.

[0126] As shown in Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the water blocking part 6 extends upward along the surface of the disc body 200; the position close to the upper end of the pushing part 11 is provided with a limiting protrusion 111; the top end of the water blocking part 6 is correspondingly arranged with the limiting protrusion 111, and the top end of the water blocking part 6 is used to limit the downward movement of the pushing part 11.

[0127] The water blocking part 6 extends upward, so as to prevent water in the disc body 200 from flowing into the channel part 5 when the water amount is large, and improve the water blocking capacity of the water blocking part 6. In addition, the top of the water blocking part 6 cooperates with the limiting convex part 111 of the pushing part 11, as a limit when the pushing part 11 moves downward, that is, forms the lower stop point of the pushing part 11.

[0128] On the other hand, the embodiment provides a dehumidifier. Figure 9 FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a dehumidifier provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 10 FIG. 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a dehumidifier provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 9 FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a partial structure at C in FIG. 2.

[0129] Combined with Figure 9 , 10 As shown in FIG. 1, the dehumidifier of the embodiment includes a shell 500, including an air inlet and an air outlet, a wind channel is formed in the shell 500, and the wind channel is communicated with the air inlet and the air outlet, respectively.

[0130] An evaporation assembly 400 is configured to adsorb water in air flowing through the wind channel.

[0131] A fan assembly 600 is configured to drive air flow, and suck external air into the wind channel.

[0132] The water receiving tray of the present disclosure is arranged in the shell 500, and is located below the evaporation assembly 400. The water receiving tray is configured to receive condensed water flowing down from the evaporation assembly 400, and to converge the condensed water to the drainage channel 4.

[0133] A water tank 300 is arranged below the water receiving tray. The water inlet of the water tank 300 is communicated with the drainage channel 4. The water tank 300 is movably arranged in a water tank accommodating cavity 10 of the shell 500. The water tank 300 can be separated from the water tank accommodating cavity 10 under the action of an external force.

[0134] The water tank can be cooperated with the drainage device 100 in the water receiving tray, so that when the water tank 300 is in the water tank accommodating cavity 10, the drainage channel 4 is unblocked, and when the water tank 300 is separated from the water tank accommodating cavity 10, the drainage channel 4 is blocked.

[0135] The dehumidifier of the embodiment adopts the drainage device 100 provided by the present disclosure, and has all the technical effects of the present disclosure.

[0136] The dehumidifier of the embodiment utilizes the driving force generated by the rotation of the fan assembly 600 to suck air from the air inlet. The air flows through the evaporation assembly 400. The surface temperature of the evaporation assembly 400 is low, so as to cause the water in the air to condense and precipitate. The dehumidified air is discharged through the air outlet. The condensed water on the surface of the evaporation assembly 400 drops downward into the water receiving tray under the action of gravity, and is discharged downward to the water tank 300 through the drainage channel 4.

[0137] In some possible implementations, the water draining device 100 is in a state of being supported by the water tank 300, and the water draining passage 4 is unblocked; the water draining device 100 is in a state of being separated from the support of the water tank 300, and the water draining passage 4 is blocked.

[0138] The water tank 300 is designed to be detachable, when the water tank 300 is normally installed in the water tank accommodating cavity 10, the water tank 300 provides an external force for the water draining device 100, so that the water draining device 100 controls the water draining passage 4 to be unblocked, and the condensed water is normally drained into the water tank 300; when the condensed water in the water tank 300 is full, the water tank 300 is taken out of the water tank accommodating cavity 10, at this time, the water draining device 100 loses the external force, and controls the water draining passage 4 to be blocked, and the condensed water is temporarily stored in the water tray, and no water leakage occurs.

[0139] In combination Figure 10 As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the top surface of the water tank 300 is provided with a slope portion 9, which is inclined along the dismounting direction of the water tank 300; when the water tank 300 moves along the horizontal direction into the water tank accommodating cavity 10 below the tray body 200, the abutment position between the lower end of the pushing portion 11 and the slope portion 9 gradually rises, the pushing portion 11 moves upward, and drives the water blocking portion 12 to move above the water draining passage 4; when the water tank 300 moves along the horizontal direction out of the water tank accommodating cavity 10 below the tray body 200, the abutment position between the lower end of the pushing portion 11 and the slope portion 9 gradually lowers, the pushing portion 11 moves downward, and drives the water blocking portion 12 to move into the water draining passage 4.

[0140] In the drawings, the movement direction of the water tank 300 can be referred to as arrow c, and the movement direction of the pushing portion 11 can be referred to as arrow b.

[0141] The slope portion 9 on the top surface of the water tank 300 converts the horizontal force when the water tank 300 is installed into an axial force, when the water tank 300 moves downward to the tray body 200, the lower end of the pushing portion 11 gradually "climbs" on the slope portion 9, thereby lifting the water blocking portion 12, so that the water draining passage 4 is unblocked, and the condensed water is drained into the water tank 300 through the water draining passage 4 and the water outlet pipe 7.
