Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dehumidification, and in particular to a chassis of a dehumidifier and a dehumidifier. Background Art

[0002] Dehumidifiers can extract moisture from the air and dehumidify the air. The structure of a dehumidifier usually includes a chassis, a compressor, a heat exchanger, a fan, a water tray, a water tank, and a partition. The compressor, the water tank, and the partition are all arranged on the chassis, and the partition is arranged between the compressor and the water tank. The water tray is arranged above the compressor, and the heat exchanger and the fan are arranged above the water tray. The water outlet of the water tray is connected to the water tank. The working principle of the dehumidifier includes: the fan draws humid air into the machine and passes the humid air through the heat exchanger. At this time, the water molecules in the air condense into water droplets. After the condensed water droplets drip on the water tray, they can flow into the water tank through the water outlet, and the treated dry air is discharged from the machine and blown into the room. In this cycle, the indoor humidity can be kept at an appropriate relative humidity. In order to facilitate the movement of the dehumidifier, the dehumidifier also includes casters, which are installed under the chassis, so that when the dehumidifier needs to be moved, the dehumidifier can be moved more labor-savingly by rolling the casters.

[0003] In the related art, the water tank is detachably mounted on the chassis. When the water in the water tank is full, the water tank can be removed from the chassis, and the condensed water therein can be poured out, so that the water tank can be reused to receive the condensed water. However, when the water tank is removed from the chassis, condensed water still flows out from the water outlet of the water receiving tray, and the condensed water flowing out from the water outlet will not only drip onto the chassis, but also flow to the ground along the casters or other gaps installed on the chassis; in order to improve the above problems, the related art sets a water receiving trough on the chassis, which is used to receive the water flowing out from the water outlet of the water receiving tray after the water tank is removed from the chassis; since setting a water receiving trough on the chassis will occupy a certain space, it is necessary to increase the size of the chassis to ensure the assembly of the partition between the compressor and the water tank, which is not conducive to the compact and miniaturized design of the dehumidifier. Summary of the invention

[0004] The problem solved by the present invention is how to improve the problem that the space of the chassis body is occupied due to the arrangement of the water receiving trough, resulting in the need to increase the size of the chassis body in order to assemble the partition, thereby ensuring a compact and miniaturized design of the dehumidifier.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a chassis of a dehumidifier, comprising:

[0016] The partition installed on the chassis body is used to separate the compressor and the water tank installed on the chassis body, and the partition separating the compressor and the water tank is set in a relatively middle position of the chassis body. The casters are usually set close to the periphery of the chassis body. The guide slope and the avoidance cavity are set on the opposite sides of the water receiving trough, which can ensure that the casters and the partition are smoothly installed in place.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the chassis of the dehumidifier further comprises a second spring buckle connected to the chassis body, and the second spring buckle can abut against the caster plugged into the plug slot to prevent the caster from being separated from the plug slot.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the depth of the water receiving groove is 17-27 mm; the length of the water receiving groove is 51-70 mm; and the width of the water receiving groove is 30-66 mm.

[0019] The depth, length and width of the water receiving trough can achieve volume optimization of the water receiving trough so that after the water tank is disassembled, the water receiving trough can be used to reliably receive the water overflowing from the water outlet of the water receiving tray, thereby improving the problem of the water receiving trough having a small volume and being easy to fill up, which causes water to overflow from the water receiving trough, thereby reliably improving the problem of water accidentally flowing to the ground, thereby improving the user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0054] A dehumidifier can be used to remove moisture from humid air. Its working principle includes: sucking humid air into the body, using a heat exchanger to condense the moisture in the air into water, thereby reducing the moisture in the air, and then exhausting the dry air from the body and blowing it into the room. By repeating the above process, the indoor humidity can be kept in a relatively dry state. In order to collect the water removed from the air, the dehumidifier is equipped with a water receiving tray and a detachable water tank. After the condensed water separated from the air drips onto the water receiving tray, it enters the water tank from the water outlet of the water receiving tray; when the water in the water tank is full, the water tank can be disassembled and the condensed water therein can be poured out, and the water tank can be reused to receive the condensed water. The dehumidifier also includes a partition mounted on the chassis, and the partition is separated between the compressor and the water tank to protect the compressor.

[0055] After the water tank is removed, condensed water still flows out from the water outlet of the water receiving tray, and the condensed water flowing out from the water outlet will not only drip onto the chassis of the dehumidifier, but also flow to the ground along the casters or other gaps installed on the chassis; in order to improve the above problems, the related technology sets a water receiving trough on the chassis to receive the water overflowing from the water outlet of the water receiving tray after the water tank is removed; since setting a water receiving trough on the chassis will occupy a certain space, it is necessary to increase the size of the chassis to ensure the assembly of the partition between the compressor and the water tank, that is, it is necessary to increase the size of the chassis to ensure that there is enough space to install the partition on the chassis. This will easily lead to an increase in the overall space occupied by the dehumidifier, which is not conducive to the compact and miniaturized design of the dehumidifier.

[0056] This embodiment provides a dehumidifier, which can improve the problem that the chassis space is occupied by the water tank, resulting in the need to increase the chassis size to install the partition, thereby ensuring a compact and miniaturized design of the dehumidifier.

[0057] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The present embodiment provides a dehumidifier 010, which includes a chassis, a compressor 200, a heat exchanger 600, a fan 700, a water tray 400 and a water tank 300. The chassis includes a chassis body 100, and the compressor 200 and the water tank 300 are both arranged on the chassis body 100; the water tray 400 is arranged above the compressor 200, and the heat exchanger 600 and the fan 700 are arranged above the water tray 400. The water tray 400 is provided with a water outlet, and the water outlet is used to allow water to flow into the water tank 300. The working principle of the dehumidifier 010 includes: the fan 700 draws humid air into the machine, and the humid air passes through the heat exchanger 600, at which time the water molecules in the air condense into water droplets, and the condensed water droplets drip on the water tray 400, and can flow into the water tank 300 from the water outlet of the water tray 400, and the treated dry air is discharged out of the machine and blown into the room.

[0059] Furthermore, the dehumidifier 010 further includes a partition 500 connected to the chassis body 100 , and the partition 500 is separated between the compressor 200 and the water tank 300 to protect the compressor 200 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the water tank 300 is detachably disposed on the chassis body 100, so that the water tank 300 can be removed from the chassis body 100, and the condensed water therein can be poured out, and the water tank 300 can be reused.

[0061] For further information, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The water tank 300 is detachably slidably matched with the chassis body 100; wherein the chassis body 100 is provided with a slide groove 130, and the water tank 300 is slidably matched with the slide groove 130. Configuring the water tank 300 to be slidably detachable from the chassis body 100 can improve the operability and efficiency of the detachment of the water tank 300.

[0062] The shape of the slide groove 130 provided on the chassis body 100 can be selected as needed; in the present embodiment, the chassis body 100 is provided with two linear slide grooves 130, the two slide grooves 130 are parallel and spaced apart, and the water tank 300 slides with the two slide grooves 130 at the same time; in this way, the stability of the sliding cooperation between the water tank 300 and the chassis body 100 and the stability of the water tank 300 when assembled on the chassis body 100 can be ensured, and it is ensured that the water tank 300 stably receives the water overflowing from the water outlet of the water receiving tray 400.

[0063] Furthermore, the water tank 300 includes a water tank body 310 and a protrusion 320 connected to the water tank body 310. The water tank body 310 is used to receive water output from the water outlet. The protrusion 320 is slidably matched with the chute 130 and supports the water tank body 310. The protrusion 320 is connected to the water tank body 310 and is slidably matched with the chute 130, so that the ease of disassembly and assembly of the water tank 300 can be ensured, and the stability and accuracy of loading and unloading of the water tank 300 can be ensured through the guiding effect between the protrusion 320 and the chute 130; and after the water tank 300 is disassembled from the chassis body 100, the protrusion 320 can be used to support the water tank body 310, so that the water tank 300 can be stably placed on the ground and not easily tipped over, thereby improving the problem of water spilling due to accidental tipping of the water tank 300 and improving the user experience.

[0064] Optionally, the number of protrusions 320 connected to the water tank body 310 matches the number of chutes 130. In this embodiment, the water tank body 310 is connected to two protrusions 320, and the two protrusions 320 are slidably matched with the two chutes 130 in a one-to-one correspondence. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of protrusions 320 connected to the water tank body 310 can be greater than the number of chutes 130, and the number of protrusions 320 that can slidably match in each chute 130 can be two, three, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0065] In order to improve the aesthetics of dehumidifier 010; please refer to Figure 4 The water tank 300 also includes a blocking portion 340 connected to the water tank body 310. The blocking portion 340 and the protrusion 320 both protrude from the bottom of the water tank body 310, and the blocking portion 340 is distributed on the outer peripheral side of the water tank body 310; when the water tank 300 is assembled on the chassis body 100, one side of the water tank body 310 faces the compressor 200, and the other side faces away from the compressor 200. The blocking portion 340 is located on the side of the water tank body 310 facing away from the compressor 200, and the blocking portion 340 is distributed on the outer periphery of the chassis body 100 to avoid the chassis body 100 from being exposed, thereby improving the aesthetics of the dehumidifier 010.

[0066] It should be noted that when the water tank 300 is removed from the chassis body 100, the water tank body 310 is supported by the protrusion 320 and the enclosure 340, which can ensure the stability of the water tank 300 placed on the ground and improve the problem of the water tank 300 being easily tipped over after being removed from the chassis body 100.

[0067] Optionally, in order to increase the volume of the water tank 300 so as to store more water, the enclosure 340 is provided with a cavity connected to the water tank body 310; in this way, the water flowing into the water tank body 310 can further flow into the cavity of the enclosure 340, thereby increasing the volume of the water tank 300.

[0068] In some embodiments, the number of the slide grooves 130 provided on the chassis body 100 may be one, three, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In other embodiments, the two chutes 130 provided on the chassis body 100 are distributed at an angle and are interconnected, that is, the two chutes 130 provided on the chassis body 100 are distributed in a "V" shape, and the protrusion 320 connected to the bottom of the water tank body 310 is adapted to the shape of the two chutes 130 distributed in a "V" shape, so that the water tank body 310 can slide stably with the two chutes 130 distributed in a "V" shape through the protrusion 320, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the water tank 300 being disassembled and assembled on the chassis body 100. Further, in order to increase the volume of the water tank 300, the protrusion 320 is provided with a receiving cavity connected to the water tank body 310; in this way, the water flowing into the water tank body 310 can further flow into the receiving cavity of the protrusion 320, thereby increasing the volume of the water tank 300.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the water tank 300 further includes a convex rib 330 connected to the bottom of the water tank body 310, and the convex rib 330 is slidably matched with the chassis body 100. The convex rib 330 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank body 310, so that the convex rib 330 and the chassis body 100 can be slidably matched to reduce the contact area and friction between the water tank 300 and the chassis body 100, thereby ensuring the ease of operation and labor saving of loading and unloading the water tank 300 from the chassis body 100.

[0071] Optionally, in some embodiments, the bottom of the protrusion 320 is also connected to a rib 330 to further reduce the friction when the water tank 300 slides relative to the chassis body 100, thereby improving the operability and labor-saving of disassembly and assembly of the water tank 300.

[0072] Optionally, in order to improve the stability of the water tank 300 when being assembled on the chassis body 100, the chassis body 100 is also connected to a first spring buckle 150, and the first spring buckle 150 is detachably engaged with the water tank 300; wherein, when the water tank 300 is assembled on the chassis body 100, the water tank 300 can press on the first spring buckle 150 to deform and move it without blocking the movement of the water tank 300, and when the water tank 300 is assembled in place, the first spring buckle 150 is reset to be engaged with the water tank 300 under the action of elasticity, so that the water tank 300 can be stably assembled on the chassis body 100; when the water tank 300 needs to be disassembled, the water tank 300, which has a movement tendency to separate from the chassis body 100 under the action of external force, can deform and move the first spring buckle 150 and separate from the water tank 300, so that the water tank 300 can be disassembled from the chassis body 100.

[0073] Furthermore, the first spring buckle 150 is elastically connected to the chassis body 100 so as to be reset to be able to engage with the water tank 300 through its own elastic action; or, the second spring buckle 160 is connected to the chassis body 100 through elastic parts such as springs and torsion springs so as to be reset to be able to engage with the water tank 300 through the elastic action of the elastic parts.

[0074] When the water tank 300 is removed from the chassis body 100, condensed water still flows out of the water outlet of the water receiving tray 400, and the condensed water flowing out of the water outlet will not only drip onto the chassis body 100, but also flow to the ground along the casters 800 or other gaps installed on the chassis body 100; please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In order to improve the above problems, the chassis body 100 is provided with a water receiving groove 110, which is used to receive water overflowing from the water outlet of the water receiving tray 400 to improve the problem of water accidentally flowing to the ground and improve the user experience.

[0075] Furthermore, the water outlet of the water receiving tray 400 is located above the water receiving groove 110 so that the water overflowing from the water outlet can reliably drip into the water receiving groove 110 without accidentally dripping on other positions of the chassis body 100.

[0076] It should be noted that when the water tank 300 is assembled to the chassis body 100, the water tank 300 can be blocked at the notch of the water receiving groove 110, and the water overflowing from the water outlet of the water receiving pan 400 will flow into the water tank 300; when the water tank 300 is removed from the chassis body 100, the notch of the water receiving groove 110 is exposed, and the water overflowing from the water outlet of the water receiving pan 400 will enter the water receiving groove 110. Among them, when the water tank 300 is assembled to the chassis body 100, the water tank 300 can be blocked at the notch of the water receiving groove 110, which can mean that the water tank 300 completely closes the notch of the water receiving groove 110, and can also mean that the water tank 300 blocks part of the notch of the water receiving groove 110, and blocks between the notch of the water receiving groove 110 and the water outlet of the water receiving pan 400, so that the water overflowing from the water outlet accurately enters the water tank 300.

[0077] To ensure the compact design of the dehumidifier 010; please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The outer wall of the water receiving groove 110 is provided with an avoidance cavity 111 for avoiding the connection between the partition 500 and the chassis body 100. In this way, it is not necessary to increase the size of the chassis body 100 due to the provision of the water receiving groove 110 on the chassis body 100, so that the increased size of the chassis body 100 has a space for installing the partition 500, thereby ensuring that the water tank 300, the compressor 200 and the partition 500 therebetween can be compactly assembled on the chassis body 100, which is conducive to realizing the miniaturization design of the dehumidifier 010.

[0078] Furthermore, the side wall of the water receiving tank 110 is recessed into the inner cavity thereof to form an escape cavity 111. In this way, there is no need to additionally provide the escape cavity 111 outside the water receiving tank 110 on the chassis body 100, thereby ensuring a compact structural design.

[0079] The connection method between the partition 500 and the chassis body 100 can be selected as needed; please refer to Fig. 9 In this embodiment, the partition 500 includes a partition body 510 and a buckle 520 connected to the partition body 510, the buckle 520 is buckled with the chassis body 100, the avoidance cavity 111 is used to avoid the buckle 520, and the partition body 510 is located between the compressor 200 and the water tank 300. The assembly of the partition body 510 and the chassis body 100 is achieved through the buckle 520, which can ensure the ease of installation of the partition 500, and the use of the avoidance cavity 111 to avoid the buckle 520 can ensure a compact structural design.

[0080] Of course, in other embodiments, the partition 500 may also be connected to the chassis body 100 by fasteners such as bolts, which is not specifically limited here.

[0081] Optionally, see Fig.10 and Fig.11 The chassis body 100 is provided with a plug hole 140, which is arranged adjacent to the water tank 110 and distributed on the side of the avoidance cavity 111; when the partition 500 is assembled, the buckle 520 passes through the plug hole 140 and is engaged with the chassis body 100, at least part of the buckle 520 is embedded in the avoidance cavity 111, and the partition body 510 is blocked at the plug hole 140. In this way, the ease of operation and stability of the partition 500 assembled on the chassis body 100 can be ensured, and the partition 500 is arranged close to the water tank 110, which can improve the compactness of the dehumidifier 010.

[0082] Please refer to Fig.11 The dehumidifier 010 of this embodiment further includes a caster 800, which is disposed below the chassis body 100, that is, the caster 800 is disposed on the side of the chassis body 100 away from the compressor 200. By arranging the caster 800 on the chassis body 100, when the dehumidifier 010 needs to be moved, the dehumidifier 010 can be moved more labor-savingly by utilizing the rotation of the caster 800.

[0083] The number of casters 800 provided for the dehumidifier 010 can be selected as needed. The dehumidifier 010 of this embodiment includes four casters 800, and the four casters 800 are all arranged on the side of the chassis body 100 away from the compressor 200, and the four casters 800 are distributed in a rectangular shape; in this way, the stability of the chassis body 100 and other components such as the compressor 200 assembled on the chassis body 100 supported by the casters 800 can be improved, that is, the stability of the dehumidifier 010 supported by the casters 800 can be improved.

[0084] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of casters 800 may also be three, five, or six, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0085] The method of assembling the caster 800 to the chassis body 100 can be selected as needed; please refer to Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 In this embodiment, a plug-in slot 120 is further provided on the side of the chassis body 100 away from the water receiving tank 110, and the caster 800 is slidably plugged into the plug-in slot 120. By providing the plug-in slot 120, the caster 800 is slidably plugged into the plug-in slot 120, which can ensure the accuracy of the installation of the caster 800 on the one hand and improve the efficiency of the installation of the caster 800 on the other hand.

[0086] Furthermore, two plug-in slots 120 are provided on the chassis body 100 corresponding to the assembly position of each caster 800 , so that each caster 800 can slideably cooperate with the two plug-in slots 120 , thereby ensuring that each caster 800 is accurately and reliably installed on the chassis body 100 through the two plug-in slots 120 .

[0087] Optionally, see Fig.11 and Fig.13 The caster 800 includes a mounting plate 810 and a pulley 820 connected to the mounting plate 810. The mounting plate 810 is slidably plugged into the plug-in slot 120 provided in the chassis body 100. With such a configuration, the dehumidifier 010 can be moved effortlessly by rotating the pulley 820, ensuring that the rotation of the pulley 820 will not be interfered by the installation method of the caster 800; and the mounting plate 810 is used to realize the loading and unloading of the caster 800, which improves the ease of loading and unloading of the caster 800 and improves the loading and unloading efficiency.

[0088] Furthermore, the caster 800 further includes a connector 830, and the mounting plate 810 is connected to the pulley 820 via the connector 830. Optionally, the connector 830 is columnar, one end of which is vertically connected to the mounting plate 810, and the other end is connected to the pulley 820; the mounting plate 810 is a rectangular plate body with four rounded corners.

[0089] Optionally, see Fig.14The chassis of the dehumidifier 010 further includes two limit portions 170, both of which are connected to the chassis body 100, and the two limit portions 170 are in the first direction (i.e. Fig.14 The two limiting portions 170 are spaced apart in the second direction (i.e. Fig.14 The mounting plate 810 is spaced from the chassis body 100 in the direction indicated by the middle arrow ef, and the stopper 170 forms a plug-in slot 120 on one side of the chassis body 100, and the mounting plate 810 is inserted into or slid out of the plug-in slot 120 along the third direction (i.e. Fig.14 The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are mutually perpendicular, and the chassis body 100 and the two stoppers 170 together form an insertion space for inserting the mounting plate 810. This arrangement can ensure the reliability of the mounting plate 810 being plugged into the chassis body 100.

[0090] Furthermore, the chassis body 100 and the two limiting parts 170 enclose an insertion space, and the two spaced limiting parts 170 can abut against the edge of one side of the mounting plate 810 (specifically, the lower surface connected to the pulley 820 in this embodiment), and the chassis body 100 can abut against the other side of the mounting plate 810 (the upper surface away from the pulley 820 in this embodiment), thereby limiting the mounting plate 810 in the thickness direction of the mounting plate 810. Further, the mounting plate 810 is located in the insertion space, and the pulley 820 is located outside the slot structure, and an opening is formed between the two limiting parts 170, which can avoid the connecting member 830 between the mounting plate 810 and the pulley 820 in the caster 800, so that the connecting member 830 will not be blocked during the insertion of the caster 800.

[0091] The insertion space has an entrance end and a bottom end opposite to each other in the insertion direction. Fig.14 In the embodiment, the entrance end of the insertion space faces the direction d, and the bottom end faces the direction c. The mounting plate 810 of the caster 800 can be inserted into the insertion space from the entrance end along the direction c. In this embodiment, a blocking portion 171 is provided on the chassis body 100. The blocking portion 171 is provided at the bottom end of the insertion space. The blocking portion 171 is used to abut the front end of the mounting plate 810 (specifically the front end in the insertion direction) after the mounting plate 810 is inserted into the insertion space, so that the mounting plate 810 cannot move forward. When the mounting plate 810 abuts against the blocking portion 171, it is considered that the mounting plate 810 has been inserted into the slot structure and is in the assembly position (the position in normal use).

[0092] In order to improve the stability of the caster 800 assembled on the chassis body 100; please refer to Fig.11 , Fig.14 and Fig.15The chassis body 100 is also connected to a second spring buckle 160 , which can abut against the caster 800 to prevent the caster 800 from escaping from the insertion slot 120 , thereby improving the stability of the caster 800 assembled on the chassis body 100 .

[0093] It should be noted that when the caster 800 is slidably assembled in the plug-in slot 120, the caster 800 can press on the second spring buckle 160, causing the second spring buckle 160 to be deformed and moved away under pressure, thereby preventing the second spring buckle 160 from blocking the caster 800 from sliding to be plugged into the plug-in slot 120. When the caster 800 slides into place, the caster 800 no longer presses the second spring buckle 160, and the second spring buckle 160 is reset under the action of elasticity, and prevents the caster 800 from being separated from the plug-in slot 120.

[0094] Optionally, the second spring buckle 160 is elastically connected to the chassis body 100 so as to be reset to a position capable of preventing the caster 800 from being disengaged from the socket 120 through its own elastic action; or, the second spring buckle 160 is connected to the chassis body 100 through an elastic member such as a spring or a torsion spring so as to be reset to a position capable of preventing the caster 800 from being disengaged from the socket 120 through the elastic action of the elastic member.

[0095] It should be understood that in other embodiments, after the caster 800 is plugged into the plug-in slot 120 , the caster 800 and the chassis body 100 may be connected by fasteners such as bolts to improve the stability of the caster 800 assembled on the chassis body 100 .

[0096] Please refer to Fig.14 In this embodiment, the chassis body 100 includes a first plate body 101 and a second plate body 102 in the same plane, the first plate body 101 and the second plate body 102 are connected in the third direction, the first plate body 101 and the two limiting parts 170 together enclose an insertion space, the second plate body 102 is adjacent to the entrance end of the insertion space, and the second spring buckle 160 is arranged on the second plate body 102. In other words, the second spring buckle 160 is arranged outside the entrance end of the insertion space, and when the mounting plate 810 is inserted into the assembly position, the second spring buckle 160 can abut and limit the rear end of the mounting plate 810 in the insertion direction.

[0097] Optionally, the second spring buckle 160 includes an elastic arm 161 and an abutting portion 162, the extension direction of the elastic arm 161 is perpendicular to the second direction, and the abutting portion 162 is arranged at the end of the elastic arm 161 and protrudes along the second direction. In this embodiment, one end of the elastic arm 161 is connected to the second plate body 102, and the abutting portion 162 is arranged at the other end of the elastic arm 161. The abutting portion 162 can be offset in the second direction under the elastic deformation of the elastic arm 161. The deformation direction of the second spring buckle 160 is perpendicular to the direction in which the mounting plate 810 is inserted into the plug-in slot 120, so the abutting portion 162 can be displaced toward the f direction under the pressing action of the mounting plate 810 so as to avoid the insertion path of the mounting plate 810; and can be reset after the mounting plate 810 is inserted into the insertion space, so that the abutting portion 162 is re-located in the insertion path of the mounting plate 810 and can abut against the mounting plate 810, thereby limiting the mounting plate 810.

[0098] Furthermore, a window 103 is provided on the second plate 102, one end of the elastic arm 161 is connected to the inner edge of the window 103, the extension direction of the elastic arm 161 is parallel to the second plate 102, and the abutment portion 162 protrudes from the window 103. Since the abutment portion 162 needs to be displaced in the second direction, the window 103 is provided on the second plate 102, which can provide an escape space for the displacement of the abutment portion 162 in the second direction. In addition, the elastic arm 161 is provided in the window 103, which can also reduce the space occupied by the second spring buckle 160. Optionally, the second spring buckle 160 and the chassis body 100 can be integrally formed by injection molding.

[0099] Furthermore, the abutment portion 162 of the second snap buckle 160 is provided with a guide slope surface 172 and an abutment surface 173 on opposite sides of the insertion direction (see Fig.15 The guide slope 172 is inclined to the direction in which the mounting plate 810 is inserted into the insertion slot 120, and the abutment surface 173 is used to abut the mounting plate 810 after the mounting plate 810 is inserted into the insertion space. By providing the guide slope 172, the front end of the mounting plate 810 can abut the guide slope 172 and slide toward the top of the guide slope 172 when the mounting plate 810 is inserted, forcing the second spring buckle 160 to undergo elastic deformation, and the abutment portion 162 withdraws out of the insertion path of the mounting plate 810. The abutment surface 173 can block the mounting plate 810 from moving in the opposite direction of the insertion direction (i.e., the direction in which the mounting plate 810 is inserted) after the abutment portion 162 is reset. Fig.14 d direction) in the insertion space, thereby preventing the mounting plate 810 from exiting the insertion space.

[0100] In some embodiments, the abutment surface 173 can be perpendicular to the insertion direction, so that when the mounting plate 810 squeezes the abutment surface 173 in the exit direction, the abutment portion 162 is not easily forced to move along the second direction to avoid the mounting plate 810, thereby achieving a good abutment limiting effect; in other embodiments, the abutment surface 173 can be designed as a slope, which can not only achieve a certain limiting effect, but also facilitate the removal of the caster 800 from the insertion space.

[0101] Optionally, see Fig.14 The chassis body 100 is provided with two avoidance holes 104, which are respectively opposite to the two limit portions 170 in the second direction, and the first plate body 101 is provided between the two avoidance holes 104. By providing two avoidance holes 104, it is convenient to demould the mold used to form the limit portion 170. It can be understood that the limit portion 170 has a wall facing the insertion space, that is, the wall facing the avoidance hole 104; during the demoulding process, the mold attached to the wall can be withdrawn from the avoidance hole 104 to the other side of the chassis body 100.

[0102] Optionally, the window 103 on the chassis body 100 is rectangular, and the elastic arm 161 is connected to the inner edge of the window 103 away from the first plate body 101 and extends along the insertion direction. Optionally, the elastic arm 161 can also extend along other directions. Fig.15 As shown, the extension direction of the elastic arm 161 of the second spring buckle 160 can also be perpendicular to the insertion direction, that is, extending along the first direction (that is, the direction indicated by arrows ab), which can reduce the space occupied by the second spring buckle 160 in the insertion direction to a certain extent.

[0103] In this embodiment, the chassis body 100 is provided with a reinforcing rib 105 (such as Figure 3 As shown). In this embodiment, a plurality of mutually parallel reinforcing ribs 105 are provided on the back of the chassis body 100, and the reinforcing ribs 105 extend along the direction in which the mounting plate 810 is inserted into the insertion slot 120. Specifically, at least part of the reinforcing ribs 105 are distributed on the side of the first plate body 101 away from the insertion space. In actual use, the downward pressure of the chassis body 100 will be transmitted to the mounting plate 810 of the caster 800 through the first plate body 101. Therefore, the reinforcement ribs 105 are provided on the side of the first plate body 101 away from the insertion space to improve the stability of the chassis and make it more durable. Furthermore, the second plate body 102 is also provided with reinforcing ribs 105.

[0104] In order to reduce the weight and volume of the dehumidifier 010 as a whole, the thickness of the chassis body 100 is usually set to be relatively small, and the water receiving tank 110 provided on the chassis body 100 protrudes toward the side away from the compressor 200; please refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.11In order to avoid the setting of the water receiving groove 110 interfering with the assembly of the caster 800, the outer wall of the water receiving groove 110 is also provided with a guide slope 112, and the guide slope 112 is used to guide the caster 800 to slide toward the plug-in groove 120; in this way, when assembling the caster 800, the guide slope 112 can be used to make way for the movement of the caster 800 to ensure that the caster 800 can be smoothly assembled in the plug-in groove 120.

[0105] It should be noted that the guide bevel 112 has a first end 113 close to the compressor 200 and a second end 114 away from the compressor 200, wherein, along the sliding direction of the caster 800 being inserted into the plug-in slot 120, the first end 113 of the guide bevel 112 is closer to the plug-in slot 120 relative to its second end 114; in this way, it can be ensured that the caster 800 can reliably slide toward the plug-in slot 120 along the guide bevel 112, thereby ensuring that the caster 800 can be smoothly installed into the plug-in slot 120.

[0106] Furthermore, the guide slope 112 is arranged opposite to the avoidance cavity 111. The partition 500 separating the compressor 200 and the water tank 300 is roughly arranged at a relatively middle position of the chassis body 100, and the caster 800 is arranged near the outer periphery of the chassis body 100. The guide slope 112 and the avoidance cavity 111 are arranged on opposite sides of the water receiving groove 110, ensuring that the caster 800 and the partition 500 can be smoothly installed in place.

[0107] The size of the water receiving tank 110 can be set as needed; it should be noted that after the water tank 300 is removed from the chassis body 100, the remaining water that can overflow from the water outlet of the water receiving tray 400 and flow into the water receiving tank 110 of the chassis body 100 includes not only the water originally remaining in the water receiving tray 400, but also includes the condensed water remaining on other components such as the heat exchanger 600. Therefore, the size of the water receiving tank 110 can be set relatively large to receive more residual water.

[0108] Optionally, the depth of the water receiving tank 110 is 17-27 mm, for example: 17 mm, 17.4 mm, 17.8 mm, 18.2 mm, 18.5 mm, 18.9 mm, 19.5 mm, 20.1 mm, 21 mm, 22 mm, 23 mm, 24 mm, 25 mm, 26.4 mm, 26.5 mm, 27 mm, etc.

[0109] The length of the water receiving trough 110 is 51-70 mm, for example: 51 mm, 51.6 mm, 52 mm, 54 mm, 57 mm, 60 mm, 62 mm, 63 mm, 63.8 mm, 65 mm, 66 mm, 67 mm, 68 mm, 79 mm, 69.3 mm, 70 mm, etc.

[0110] The width of the water receiving groove 110 is 30-66 mm, for example: 30 mm, 30.5 mm, 32 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 42.5 mm, 45 mm, 47.6 mm, 50 mm, 51.3 mm, 55 mm, 57.3 mm, 60 mm, 65.2 mm, 66 mm, etc.

[0111] The depth, length and width of the water receiving trough 110 can achieve volume optimization of the water receiving trough 110, so that after the water tank 300 is disassembled, the water receiving trough 110 can be used to reliably receive water overflowing from the water outlet of the water receiving tray 400, thereby improving the problem of the water receiving trough 110 having a small volume and being easy to fill up, which causes water to overflow from the water receiving trough 110, thereby reliably improving the problem of water accidentally flowing to the ground, thereby improving the user experience.

[0112] It should be noted that the depth, length and width of the water receiving tank 110 are positively correlated with its volume. For the dehumidifier 010 with a larger water tank 300 volume, the size of the chassis body 100 is relatively large, and there is relatively more space on the chassis body 100 for setting the water receiving tank 110. When ensuring that the water receiving tank 110 has a certain volume, the length and width of the water receiving tank 110 can be increased accordingly, and its depth can be reduced. For example, the depth H1 is 17.8 mm, the length L1 is 69.3 mm, and the width D1 is 65.2 mm (such as Figure 5 and Fig.16 As shown); Of course, for the dehumidifier 010 with a smaller water tank 300 volume, the size of the chassis body 100 is correspondingly reduced, and the length and width of the water receiving groove 110 provided on the chassis body 100 are also correspondingly reduced. In order to ensure that the water receiving groove 110 still has a certain volume, the depth of the water receiving groove 110 can be increased accordingly, for example: the depth H2 is 26.5mm, the length L2 is 51.6mm, and the width D2 is 30.5mm (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Fig. 9 shown).

[0113] It should also be noted that in order to ensure that the residual water can be reliably received by the water receiving trough 110 without overflowing and flowing to the ground after the water tank 300 is removed from the chassis body 100, the volume of the water receiving trough 110 can reach 1-3 times the residual water. The above-mentioned residual water can refer to: after the dehumidifier 010 stops running and the water tank 300 is removed from the chassis body 100, the amount of water overflowing from the water outlet of the water receiving tray 400 within a preset time. The above-mentioned preset time can be 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, etc., which is not specifically limited here. The above-mentioned residual water can include water remaining in the water receiving tray 400, water remaining on the heat exchanger 600, etc.

[0114] When the dehumidifier 010 of this embodiment is in use, the water removed from the air will drip onto the water receiving tray 400 and enter the water tank 300 through the water outlet of the water receiving tray 400; when the water tank 300 is full, the dehumidifier 010 can be stopped, the water tank 300 can be disassembled and the water therein can be poured out; when the water tank 300 is disassembled from the chassis body 100, the remaining water can overflow from the water outlet and enter the water receiving groove 110 provided in the chassis body 100.

[0115] In summary, the dehumidifier 010 of the present invention does not increase the size of the chassis body 100 due to the provision of the water receiving tank 110 on the chassis body 100, so as to leave space for assembling the partition 500, thereby ensuring a compact and miniaturized design of the dehumidifier 010.

[0116] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
