Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of condenser technology, and more specifically to a condenser structure for a dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] The main structure of a rotary dehumidifier is a continuously rotating honeycomb-shaped drying rotor. The drying rotor is the key component in the dehumidifier for adsorbing moisture. The drying rotor is made of a corrugated medium made of a special composite heat-resistant material, which carries a desiccant. This design is compact and provides a large surface area for sufficient contact between the humid air and the desiccant. The rotary dehumidifier also includes a dehumidification chamber, i.e., a condenser, which works in conjunction with the drying rotor for heat exchange between the air inside and outside the dehumidifier.

[0003] However, the condensers of existing dehumidifiers generally have thick walls, which reduces condensation efficiency. In addition, there are usually impurities in the air. When these impurities mix with water vapor and are condensed by the condenser, scale will form on the inner wall of the condenser over time, increasing the wall thickness and affecting condensation efficiency. It is also inconvenient to clean the scale on the inner wall of a typical condenser. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a condenser structure for a dehumidifier to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a condenser structure for a dehumidifier, comprising a condenser including two condensing fins, the two condensing fins being fixedly connected together by vacuum forming to form a complete sealed space; an inlet and an outlet are provided on the surface of the condenser, and a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the condenser; a sealing valve mechanism, a drive belt, a drain plug mechanism, and a plug mechanism; the drain plug mechanism can seal the drain outlet and can be rotated to seal the inlet and outlet via the drive belt; the plug mechanism can be used to block the remaining drain outlet and can allow solvent to be introduced into the interior of the condenser; the drain plug mechanism includes a rotating mechanism and a plug body mechanism, the rotating... The rotating mechanism includes a rotating cylinder, with a connecting shaft rotatably mounted coaxially on the inner side of the rotating cylinder. A second pulley is coaxially fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shaft, and the second pulley can drive the sealing valve mechanism to rotate via a transmission belt. A slot is provided on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder. The plug mechanism includes a sealing plug, with a sliding rod fixedly connected to its surface. The sealing plug can be raised, lowered, and rotated coaxially relative to the rotating cylinder via the sliding rod. A locking block is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plug. Pushing the sealing plug upwards allows the locking block to insert into the slot and engage with it. A washer is provided on the surface of the sealing plug. When the locking block engages with the slot, the sealing plug seals with the rotating cylinder through the washer. A telescopic shaft is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plug, which is inserted into the connecting shaft and can be raised, lowered, and rotated relative to it.

[0006] Furthermore, the condenser includes condenser one and condenser two, which are fixedly connected and interconnected, and the inlet and outlet are opened on the surface of condenser two.

[0007] Furthermore, both condenser one and condenser two have two drain outlets at their bottoms.

[0008] Furthermore, the surfaces of condenser one and condenser two are provided with multiple recessed walls, which divide the enclosed space into multiple channels that are connected end to end.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing valve mechanism includes a sealing valve, with the inlet and outlet respectively rotatably equipped with sealing valves. The surface of the sealing valve is provided with a sealing ring, and the sealing valve can seal the inlet and outlet respectively through the sealing ring after rotation.

[0010] Furthermore, a pulley is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing valve. The pulley is connected to a drive belt, and the second pulley drives the pulley to rotate via the drive belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the plugging mechanism includes a plug block and a detachable connector. Both the plug block and the detachable connector can be fixed inside the drain outlet to seal the remaining drain outlet. The detachable connector has a through hole inside for connecting a water pipe.

[0012] 1. Compared with the prior art, the condenser structure for dehumidifier provided by the present invention is a condenser and condenser with a complete sealed space made by vacuum forming. The wall thickness of the condenser is thinner, only 0.15mm, which improves the heat exchange efficiency. The internal space is increased in the same volume, which can pass more hot water vapor at the same time, making the condensation speed faster and improving the dehumidification efficiency.

[0013] 2. Compared with the prior art, the condenser structure for a dehumidifier provided by the present invention, by setting a drain plug mechanism, a plug mechanism, a sealing valve mechanism, and a transmission belt, allows the drain plug mechanism to block the drain outlet of the condenser. At the same time, the drain plug mechanism can drive the sealing valve mechanism through the transmission belt to seal the inlet and outlet. Furthermore, liquid mixed with scale cleaning agent can be introduced into the condenser through the drain plug mechanism, so that the scale on the inner wall of the condenser can be dissolved and discharged with the liquid mixed with scale cleaning agent, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the inner wall of the condenser and ensuring condensation efficiency.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-7 A condenser structure for a dehumidifier includes a condenser comprising two condensing fins connected together by a vacuum forming process to form a completely sealed space. The condenser has an inlet 13 and an outlet 14 on its surface, and a drain outlet at its bottom. The condenser includes a first condenser 11 and a second condenser 12, which are fixedly connected and interconnected. The inlet 13 and outlet 14 are located on the surface of the second condenser 12. Both the first condenser 11 and the second condenser 12 have two drain outlets at their bottoms for draining condensed water.

[0028] Both condenser 11 and condenser 2 12 are made of two vacuum-formed condenser fins, each forming a complete sealed space. Due to the vacuum forming process, the walls of condenser 11 and condenser 2 12 are thin, only 0.15mm thick, resulting in faster heat exchange. Furthermore, the surfaces of both vacuum-formed condenser fins are formed with multiple recessed walls 15, which are fixedly connected to each other, dividing the sealed space into multiple interconnected channels. Condenser 2 12 has an inlet 13 and an outlet 14 on its surface, and condenser 11 and condenser 2 12 are connected coaxially with the inlet 13 and outlet 14. Hot water vapor enters through inlet 13 and successively enters condenser 2 12 and condenser 11. It passes through the channel. During the passage, the hot water vapor comes into contact with the walls of condenser 11 and condenser 2 12, exchanges heat with the outside air through the walls, condenses into water droplets, falls down the channel, and finally flows out from the drain outlets at the bottom of condenser 11 and condenser 2 12.

[0029] The system includes a sealing valve mechanism, a transmission belt 31, a drain plug mechanism, and a plug mechanism. The drain plug mechanism seals the drain outlet and can rotate via the transmission belt 31 to seal the inlet 13 and outlet 14. The plug mechanism can be used to block the remaining drain outlet and allows solvent to be introduced into the condenser. The sealing valve mechanism includes a sealing valve 21, which is rotatably installed inside the inlet 13 and outlet 14. A sealing ring 22 is provided on the surface of the sealing valve 21. After the sealing valve 21 rotates, the sealing ring 22 can seal the inlet 13 and outlet 14 respectively. A pulley 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing valve 21. The pulley 23 is connected to the transmission belt 31. The pulley 43 drives the pulley 23 to rotate via the transmission belt 31.

[0030] The drain plug mechanism includes a rotating mechanism and a plug body mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes a rotating cylinder 41, with a connecting shaft 42 rotatably mounted coaxially on the inner side of the rotating cylinder 41. A pulley 43 is coaxially fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shaft 42. The pulley 43 can drive the sealing valve mechanism to rotate via a transmission belt 31. A slot 44 is provided on the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 41. The plug body mechanism includes a sealing plug 51, with a sliding rod 52 fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plug 51. The sealing plug 51 can be raised, lowered, and rotated coaxially relative to the rotating cylinder 41 via the sliding rod 52. A locking block 53 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plug 51. Pushing the sealing plug 51 can insert the locking block 53 into the slot 44 and engage with it. A washer 54 is provided on the surface of the sealing plug 51. When the locking block 53 engages with the slot 44, the sealing plug 51 seals with the rotating cylinder 41 through the washer 54. A telescopic shaft 55 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sealing plug 51, which is inserted into the connecting shaft 42 and can be raised, lowered, and rotated relative to it. The plugging mechanism includes a plug block 61 and a detachable connector 62. Both the plug block 61 and the detachable connector 62 can be fixed inside the drain outlet to seal the remaining drain outlet. The detachable connector 62 has a through hole inside that can be connected to a water pipe.

[0031] When cleaning the scale on the inner walls of condenser 11 and condenser 22, the user pushes the sealing plug 51 of the drain outlet into the drain outlet, causing the locking block 53, which is fixedly connected to the sealing plug 51, to insert into the top of the slot 44 of the rotating cylinder 41. This causes the sealing plug 51 and the rotating cylinder 41 to be clamped and sealed by the gasket 54 between them. Then, the user rotates the sealing plug 51 ninety degrees along the slot 44, so that the sealing plug 51 is locked in place by the locking block 53 in the slot 44. As the sealing plug 51 rotates, it also drives the coaxially fixed cylinder 41 to rotate. The connecting telescopic shaft 55 rotates, thereby driving the connecting shaft 42, which is slidably inserted into the telescopic shaft 55, to rotate. This causes the pulley 43, which is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting shaft 42, to rotate. The pulley 43 drives the pulley 23 to rotate 90 degrees through the drive belt 31, thereby driving the sealing valve 21, which is fixedly connected to the pulley 23, to rotate 90 degrees. This causes the sealing rings 22 on the sealing valves 21 in the condenser 11 and the condenser 22 to come into close contact with the inner walls of the condenser 11 and the condenser 22, respectively, to seal them. Next, fix the plug 61 and the detachable connector 62 into the other two drain outlets by means of threads or snap-fit, and seal them. Then, introduce the liquid mixed with scale cleaner into the interior of condenser 11 and condenser 2 12 through the detachable connector 62 and fill them. Wait for a period of time to allow the liquid mixed with scale cleaner to dissolve the scale on the inner wall of condenser 11 and condenser 2 12. Then, in the reverse operation, separate one or more of the plug 61, detachable connector 62, and two sealing plugs 51 from the drain outlets, so that the liquid mixed with impurities in condenser 11 and condenser 2 12 can be released and the inner wall of condenser 11 and condenser 2 12 can be cleaned.

[0032] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
