Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the prior art, the water tank of a dehumidifier is usually used to receive condensed water formed by condensation in the heat exchanger of the dehumidifier. Generally, a structure for guiding the condensed water into the tank is provided on the cover of the water tank. Then, when the condensed water is guided into the inside of the water tank, water droplets may fall onto the water surface and generate noise, thus affecting the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0003] The problem solved by the invention is how to improve the technical problem of noise generated by water drops in a water tank in the prior art.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a water tank applied to a dehumidifier, the water tank comprising:

[0005] A box body having a containing space therein;

[0006] A box cover, comprising a cover body and a water diversion assembly; the cover body is connected to the box body to cover the accommodating space; the cover body is provided with a water diversion groove, and a water diversion hole connected to the accommodating space is opened on the grass of the water diversion groove; the water diversion assembly is arranged inside the water diversion groove and is used to guide water flow from the water diversion hole into the accommodating space; and,

[0007] A water guide rib is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating space and extends downward, and the top of the water guide rib corresponds to the water guide component to receive the water introduced into the accommodating space by the water guide component.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the water tank provided by the present invention compared with the prior art include:

[0009] When the condensed water generated on the heat exchanger in the dehumidifier is directed to the cover of the water tank, the water can be directed to the inside of the water tank through the water guide assembly; since the water guide ribs correspond to the water guide assembly and can receive the water introduced into the accommodating space by the water guide assembly, the condensed water can flow into the accommodating space along the water guide ribs, which can prevent the condensed water from dripping on the water surface and causing noise. Based on this, the water tank provided by the present invention can improve the technical problem of noise generated by water droplets in the water tank in the prior art.

[0010] Optionally, the height of the water guide rib protruding from the inner wall of the accommodating space gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0011] By setting the protruding height of the water guide rib to gradually decrease, the water guide rib can guide the condensed water to the inner wall of the accommodating space, so as to facilitate the condensed water to flow along the inner wall of the accommodating space to the bottom of the accommodating space, facilitate the reception of the condensed water, and further improve the technical problem of water droplets generating noise in the water tank in the prior art.

[0012] Optionally, the water diversion rib is in sheet shape.

[0013] The sheet-shaped water guide ribs can conveniently receive the condensed water introduced by the water guide assembly, which is beneficial for quickly guiding the condensed water to the vertical side, so that the condensed water can flow downward along the water guide ribs.

[0014] Optionally, at least one guide surface and at least one guide channel are formed on the water diversion assembly, and the guide channel is extended along one of the side edges of the guide surface; the guide surface is inclined toward the guide channel, and the guide channel is inclined relative to the cover body; the lower end of the guide channel is connected to the water diversion hole; and the water diversion rib is arranged corresponding to the lower end of the guide channel.

[0015] When the water in the water receiving tray in the dehumidifier is discharged to the cover of the water tank, the water can be guided to the guide channel through the guide surface on the water guide assembly, and then guided to the water guide hole by the guide channel to introduce the water into the water tank to complete the collection of condensed water.

[0016] Optionally, the water diversion assembly further includes a water diversion block, which is arranged at a lower end of the guide channel and extends downward to the top of the water diversion rib.

[0017] In order to ensure that the water flow guided by the guide channel can be guided to the water guide ribs, a water guide block is arranged at the lower end of the guide channel. The water guide block can guide the water guided by the guide channel to the water guide ribs, thereby ensuring that the water flow is guided into the accommodating space by the water guide ribs, thereby achieving the purpose of silently recovering condensed water.

[0018] Optionally, the guide surface is inclined toward the guide channel at an angle greater than or equal to 7°;

[0019] And / or, the inclination angle of the flow guide channel relative to the cover body is greater than or equal to 7°.

[0020] If the inclination angle of the guide surface or the guide channel is too small, it will easily lead to poor water flow guidance effect and slow recovery rate. Therefore, setting the inclination angle of the guide channel to be greater than or equal to 7°, and / or setting the inclination angle of the guide surface relative to the guide channel to be greater than or equal to 7° can improve the diversion efficiency.

[0021] Optionally, the water guide assembly includes a water guide plate, two opposite guide surfaces are formed on the water guide plate, the guide channel is formed on the overlapping sides of the two guide surfaces, and the two guide surfaces are inclined toward the guide channel.

[0022] Guiding water flow to a diversion channel through two diversion surfaces can improve the diversion efficiency.

[0023] Optionally, the water tank further comprises a accommodating structure and a float, the accommodating structure comprises a accommodating body and an elastic buckle, the accommodating body is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating space, a vertical assembly space is arranged inside the accommodating body; and a connecting groove is further provided on the side wall of the accommodating body, the assembly space is connected with the accommodating space through the connecting groove; the elastic buckle is arranged on the side wall of the accommodating body and corresponds to the connecting groove; at least part of the elastic buckle extends into the assembly space;

[0024] The float is movably arranged in the assembly space and can move up and down in the assembly space.

[0025] In the water tank, since the elastic buckle extends into the assembly space, it can provide the function of limiting the float in the assembly space from escaping from the assembly space; that is, when the water in the accommodating space enters the assembly space through the connecting groove and causes the float to float up, the elastic buckle can be used to prevent the float from escaping from the assembly space, thereby preventing the float from falling. Moreover, by limiting the float through the vertically arranged assembly space, it can be ensured that the float stably floats up and down in the assembly space following the water level, which can improve the problem of the float getting stuck. Based on this, the water tank can achieve the improvement of the technical problem of the float being easily lost and easily ineffective in the prior art.

[0026] In addition, when the float is installed in the assembly space, since the elastic buckle is arranged corresponding to the connecting groove, the elastic buckle can enter the connecting groove to avoid the float when it is elastically deformed, thereby facilitating the assembly of the float and improving the assembly efficiency of the float. In other words, the elastic buckle is not only used to restrict the float from escaping from the assembly space, but also can achieve the purpose of facilitating the assembly of the float.

[0027] Optionally, the communication groove is arranged vertically; a connecting portion is arranged at one end of the communication groove away from the bottom wall of the assembly space, and the connecting portion is arranged across the communication groove;

[0028] The elastic buckle extends downward from the connecting portion, and the elastic buckle is arranged on a side of the connecting portion facing the assembly space.

[0029] When the water level in the accommodating space rises, water can be introduced into the assembly space in real time through the vertically arranged connecting groove, ensuring that the float can sensitively reflect the water level in the accommodating space. The elastic buckle is carried by the connecting part, which not only facilitates the setting of the elastic buckle, but also facilitates the elastic buckle to enter the connecting groove to avoid the assembly of the float.

[0030] Optionally, the bottom of the communicating groove extends to the bottom wall of the assembly space.

[0031] When the water in the accommodating space has not reached the accommodating body, the bottom of the connecting groove extends to the bottom wall of the assembly space, so that the water in the accommodating space can be introduced into the assembly space in time, so that the liquid level in the assembly space can rise smoothly along with the liquid level in the accommodating space, preventing the water in the accommodating space from being suddenly introduced into the assembly space, causing large fluctuations of the float and affecting the liquid level detection.

[0032] Optionally, the elastic buckle includes an elastic portion and a guide portion; the elastic portion is connected to the connecting portion and extends downward, and the guide portion is connected below the elastic portion; the guide portion is provided with a first guide slope on one side facing the assembly space, so that the thickness of the guide portion gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0033] When the float is assembled into the assembly space, the guide part with increased thickness can provide effective restriction to the float to prevent the float from escaping from the assembly space. During the assembly process of the float, the first guide slope can facilitate the float to push the guide part, so that the guide part can avoid the float, which is convenient for the assembly of the float.

[0034] Optionally, a second guiding slope is provided on a side of the elastic portion away from the guiding portion, so that the thickness of the elastic portion at the top portion gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0035] The second guiding inclined surface can make the loading port of the assembly space expandable, so as to facilitate the alignment of the float and further facilitate the assembly of the float.

[0036] Optionally, the float is arranged in contact with a side wall of the accommodating body.

[0037] By limiting the float by the side wall of the accommodating body, it is possible to prevent the float from deflecting and causing jamming during the floating process.

[0038] Optionally, at least one side wall of the accommodating body is raised to form a vertical rib, and the float contacts the rib.

[0039] By contacting the outer side of the float with the convex rib, the contact area between the float and the side wall of the accommodating body can be reduced, thereby reducing the friction force and facilitating the float to float up and down in the assembly space.

[0040] Optionally, a third guiding slope is provided at the top of the convex rib, so that the thickness of the top portion of the convex rib gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0041] By providing the third guiding inclined surface, the loading entrance of the assembly space can be further enlarged, so as to facilitate the loading of the float.

[0042] A dehumidifier comprises the water tank mentioned above.

[0043] The beneficial effects of the dehumidifier provided by the present invention relative to the prior art are the same as the beneficial effects of the water tank provided above relative to the prior art, and will not be repeated here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] 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.

[0061] See also Figure 1 In this embodiment, a dehumidifier 10 is provided, which can be used to provide dehumidification to a designated area to improve the comfort level of the designated area. In the dehumidification process, the dehumidifier 10 condenses the moisture in the air into liquid water, which can also be called condensed water; the dehumidifier 10 can uniformly collect and discharge the condensed water to prevent the condensed water from dripping into the designated area and affecting the user experience of the designated area.

[0062] Among them, in this embodiment, the dehumidifier 10 includes a water tank 11 for collecting condensed water. The water tank 11 can improve the technical problems in the prior art that the float is easy to fall off and easy to fail. Based on this, the dehumidifier 10 using the water tank 11 can also achieve the purpose of improving the technical problems in the prior art that the float is easy to fall off and easy to fail.

[0063] It should be noted that the dehumidifier 10 also includes components such as a condenser, a compressor, a fan, and an expansion valve to achieve the functions of the dehumidifier 10. The other components mentioned above are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0064] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 Figure 4 and Figure 5The water tank 11 includes a box body 100, a containing structure 200 and a float 300. A containing space 110 is provided in the box body 100; the containing space 110 is used to collect condensed water. The containing structure 200 includes a containing body 210 and an elastic buckle 220. The containing body 210 is arranged on the inner wall of the containing space 110, and a vertical assembly space 213 is arranged inside the containing body 210; and a connecting groove 211 is also opened on the side wall of the containing body 210, and the assembly space 213 is connected with the containing space 110 through the connecting groove 211; the elastic buckle 220 is arranged on the side wall of the containing body 210, and is arranged corresponding to the connecting groove 211; at least part of the elastic buckle 220 extends into the assembly space 213. The float 300 is movably arranged in the assembly space 213, and can move up and down in the assembly space 213.

[0065] The vertical setting proposed above indicates the vertical direction when the dehumidifier 10 is in normal use; correspondingly, the horizontal direction proposed in this article may also be based on the horizontal direction when the dehumidifier 10 is in normal use.

[0066] As described above, in the dehumidifier 10 and the water tank 11, since the elastic buckle 220 extends into the assembly space 213, it can provide the float 300 in the assembly space 213 with a function of limiting its escape from the assembly space 213; that is, when the water in the accommodating space 110 enters the assembly space 213 through the connecting groove 211 and causes the float 300 to float, the elastic buckle 220 can be used to prevent the float 300 from escaping from the assembly space 213, thereby preventing the float 300 from falling. Moreover, by limiting the float 300 through the vertically arranged assembly space 213, it can be ensured that the float 300 stably floats up and down in the assembly space 213 following the water level, and the problem of the float 300 getting stuck can be improved. Based on this, the water tank 11 can achieve the improvement of the technical problems of the float being easily lost and easily failing in the prior art. In addition, when the float 300 is installed in the assembly space 213, since the elastic buckle 220 is arranged corresponding to the connecting groove 211, the elastic buckle 220 can enter the connecting groove 211 to avoid the float 300 when it is elastically deformed, thereby facilitating the assembly of the float 300 and improving the assembly efficiency of the float 300. In other words, the elastic buckle 220 is not only used to restrict the float 300 from escaping from the assembly space 213, but also can achieve the purpose of facilitating the assembly of the float 300.

[0067] Optionally, in this embodiment, the communication groove 211 is vertically arranged. When the water level in the accommodating space 110 rises, water can be introduced into the assembly space 213 in real time through the vertically arranged communication groove 211, ensuring that the float 300 can sensitively reflect the water level in the accommodating space 110.

[0068] It is worth noting that, since the operating principle of the float 300 is to float up and down with the water level to monitor the water level in the accommodating space 110, it is necessary to provide the float 300 with sufficient length in the vertical direction to facilitate the float 300 to float up and down, based on this, the assembly space 213 is in a vertical state as a whole; that is, the length and width of the assembly space 213 in the horizontal direction can be regarded as being smaller than the length of the assembly space 213 in the vertical direction to a large extent. Based on this, in order to facilitate the assembly space 213 to sensitively reflect the water level in the accommodating space 110, the connecting groove 211 is also set to a vertical state; in the case of changes in the water level in the accommodating space 110, condensed water can be introduced into the assembly space 213 in real time, and the float 300 can be promptly caused to float up and down to sensitively monitor the water level in the water tank 11.

[0069] At the same time, in order to provide an escape space for the elastic buckle 220 , the connecting groove 211 is extended to the top of the side wall of the accommodating body 210 , so that the connecting groove 211 is in a vertical state.

[0070] It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, if other methods are used to provide an escape space for the elastic deformation of the elastic buckle 220, the connecting groove 211 can also be only provided at the bottom of the side wall of the accommodating body 210, and the connecting groove 211 can also be regarded as a hole. For example, an escape groove can be provided on the inner side wall of the accommodating body 210 to escape the elastic buckle 220.

[0071] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting groove 211 extends to the bottom wall of the assembly space 213. When the water in the accommodating space 110 has not yet reached the accommodating body 210, the bottom of the connecting groove 211 extends to the bottom wall of the assembly space 213, so that the water in the accommodating space 110 can be introduced into the assembly space 213 in time, so that the liquid level in the assembly space 213 can rise smoothly with the liquid level in the accommodating space 110, and prevent the water in the accommodating space 110 from suddenly being introduced into the assembly space 213, causing the float 300 to fluctuate greatly and affecting the liquid level detection.

[0072] In addition, in this embodiment, a connecting portion 2111 is provided at one end of the connecting groove 211 away from the bottom wall of the assembly space 213, and the connecting portion 2111 is arranged across the connecting groove 211. The elastic buckle 220 extends downward from the connecting portion 2111, and the elastic buckle 220 is arranged on the side of the connecting portion 2111 facing the assembly space 213. The elastic buckle 220 is carried by the connecting portion 2111, which not only facilitates the arrangement of the elastic buckle 220, but also facilitates the elastic buckle 220 to enter the connecting groove 211 to avoid the assembly of the float 300.

[0073] Optionally, see Figure 6 and Figure 7The elastic buckle 220 includes an elastic portion 221 and a guide portion 222; the elastic portion 221 is connected to the connecting portion 2111 and extends downward, and the guide portion 222 is connected below the elastic portion 221; the guide portion 222 is provided with a first guide slope 2221 on the side facing the assembly space 213, so that the thickness of the guide portion 222 gradually increases from top to bottom. When the float 300 is assembled into the assembly space 213, the guide portion 222 with increased thickness can provide an effective restriction to the float 300, preventing the float 300 from escaping from the assembly space 213. In the assembly process of the float 300, the first guide slope 2221 can facilitate the float 300 to push the guide portion 222, so that the guide portion 222 can avoid the float 300, which is convenient for the assembly of the float 300.

[0074] Furthermore, a second guide slope 2211 is provided on one side of the elastic part 221 away from the guide part 222, so that the thickness of the top part of the elastic part 221 gradually increases from top to bottom. The second guide slope 2211 can make the loading port of the assembly space 213 expand, which is convenient for aligning the float 300 and further facilitating the assembly of the float 300.

[0075] During the assembly process of the float 300, the float 300 first contacts the second guide slope 2211, and is guided by the second guide slope 2211 to align the float 300 with the assembly space 213; then the float 300 moves downward along the elastic portion 221; until the float 300 contacts the first guide slope 2221; then the float 300 can push the guide portion 222 to move while the float 300 continues to move downward, and the elastic portion 221 elastically deforms, so that the guide portion 222 moves toward the connecting groove 211. After the float 300 is installed in the assembly space 213, the elastic portion 221 returns to the initial position, and at the same time drives the guide portion 222 to extend into the assembly space 213, so as to limit the top limit position of the float 300 and prevent the float 300 from falling out.

[0076] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the float 300 floating up and down, the float 300 is arranged in contact with the side wall of the housing body 210. The side wall of the housing body 210 restricts the float 300, which can prevent the float 300 from deflecting and causing jamming during the floating process.

[0077] Optionally, see Figure 3 In some embodiments, at least one side wall of the housing body 210 is raised to form a vertical rib 212, and the float 300 contacts the rib 212. The rib 212 contacts the outside of the float 300, which can reduce the contact area between the float 300 and the side wall of the housing body 210, thereby reducing the friction force and facilitating the float 300 to float up and down in the assembly space 213. Of course, the rib 212 can also be regarded as a rib that is separately protruded on the side wall of the housing body 210.

[0078] In some implementations of the present embodiment, a plurality of ribs 212 are provided on the inner side of each side wall of the accommodating body 210, and the plurality of ribs 212 are arranged at intervals, so as to provide support to multiple positions of the float 300 through the plurality of ribs 212, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the float 300 and the stability of the float 300 floating up and down.

[0079] In addition, the side surface of the rib 212 contacting the float 300 may be a flat surface or a curved surface.

[0080] Optionally, a third guide slope 2121 is provided at the top of the rib 212 so that the thickness of the top portion of the rib 212 gradually increases from top to bottom. By providing the third guide slope 2121, the loading entrance of the assembly space 213 can be further expanded, making it easier to load the float 300.

[0081] Of course, in other embodiments, the third guiding slope 2121 may also be omitted.

[0082] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The water tank 11 further includes a cover body 400 and a water guide rib 120. The cover body 400 is connected to the top of the water tank 11 to cover the accommodating space 110. The cover body 400 includes a cover body 410 and a water guide assembly 420. A water guide groove 411 is provided on the cover body 410, and a water guide hole 412 connected to the accommodating space 110 is provided on the groove wall of the water guide groove 411. The water guide assembly 420 is arranged inside the water guide groove 411 and is used to guide water flow from the water guide hole 412 into the accommodating space 110. The water guide rib 120 is arranged on the inner wall of the accommodating space 110 and extends downward, and the top of the water guide rib 120 corresponds to the water guide assembly 420 to receive the water introduced into the accommodating space 110 by the water guide assembly 420.

[0083] When the condensed water generated on the heat exchanger in the dehumidifier 10 is directed to the cover 400 of the water tank 11, the water can be directed to the inside of the water tank 11 through the water guide assembly 420; since the water guide ribs 120 correspond to the water guide assembly 420 and can receive the water guided by the water guide assembly 420 into the accommodating space 110, the condensed water can flow into the accommodating space 110 along the water guide ribs 120, and the situation in which the condensed water drops on the water surface to form noise can be avoided. Based on this, the water tank 11 can improve the technical problem of noise generated by water droplets in the water tank in the prior art.

[0084] In this embodiment, at least one guide surface 4211 and at least one guide channel 4212 are formed on the water guide assembly 420, and the guide channel 4212 is extended along one of the side edges of the guide surface 4211; the guide surface 4211 is inclined toward the guide channel 4212, and the guide channel 4212 is inclined relative to the cover body 410; the lower end of the guide channel 4212 is connected to the water guide hole 412. When the water in the water receiving tray of the dehumidifier 10 is led to the cover body 400 of the water tank 11, the water can be guided to the guide channel 4212 through the guide surface 4211 on the water guide assembly 420, and then guided to the water guide hole 412 by the guide channel 4212, so as to introduce the water into the water tank 11 to complete the collection of condensed water.

[0085] Among them, with the horizontal plane lower than the water diversion component 420 as the reference, the guide surface is inclined towards the guide channel 4212, which is manifested in that the height of the side of the guide surface away from the guide channel 4212 is higher than the height of the guide channel 4212, so that the condensed water on the guide surface 4211 will be guided to the side of the guide channel 4212; and the guide channel 4212 is also inclined, so that the condensed water in the guide channel 4212 can be drained to the lower end of the guide channel 4212, and then the water is introduced into the water tank 11 through the water diversion hole 412.

[0086] It should be noted that the water tank 11 is generally mounted on the middle partition of the dehumidifier 10, and a water receiving pan for receiving condensed water is provided above the middle partition. The condensed water dripping from the heat exchanger is collected on the water receiving pan, and then the water receiving pan guides the condensed water to the water tank 11. When the water receiving pan guides the condensed water, the water guide assembly 420 is used to receive the condensed water and guide the condensed water into the accommodating space 110 inside the water tank 11.

[0087] Optionally, see Fig.11 and Fig.12 , the angle at which the guide surface 4211 is inclined to the guide channel 4212 is greater than or equal to 7°. And / or, the angle at which the guide channel 4212 is inclined relative to the cover body 410 is greater than or equal to 7°. If the guide surface 4211 is inclined or the guide channel 4212 is inclined at too small an angle, it will easily lead to poor water flow guidance effect and slow recovery rate. Therefore, setting the guide channel 4212 to an angle greater than or equal to 7°, and / or setting the guide surface 4211 to an angle relative to the guide channel 4212 to an angle greater than or equal to 7° can improve the diversion efficiency. It should be noted that in Fig.11 In the figure, the guide channel 4212 is located on the lower side of the guide surface 4211. However, since the extension direction of the guide channel 4212 is parallel to the higher side of the guide surface 4211, the position marked by the double arrow on the higher side of the guide surface 4211 can also mark the inclination angle of the guide channel 4212.

[0088] In addition, "and / or" means that only the guide surface 4211 may be inclined to the guide channel 4212 at an angle greater than or equal to 7°; or only the guide channel 4212 may be inclined at an angle greater than or equal to 7° relative to the cover body 410; of course, both the guide surface 4211 may be inclined to the guide channel 4212 and the guide channel 4212 may be inclined at an angle greater than or equal to 7° relative to the cover body 410.

[0089] It is worth noting that, considering the height of the water diversion assembly 420 in the vertical direction and the span in the horizontal direction, the inclination angle of the guide surface 4211 towards the guide channel 4212 should be less than 45°; and the inclination angle of the guide channel 4212 relative to the cover body 410 should be less than 45°.

[0090] Optionally, see Fig.13 and Fig.14 The water guide rib 120 is arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the accommodating space 110 and extends downward, and the top of the water guide rib 120 is arranged corresponding to the lower end of the guide channel 4212. After the condensed water is discharged from the water guide hole 412, the water will be guided to the water guide rib 120, and the condensed water can flow into the accommodating space 110 along the water guide rib 120, thereby avoiding the noise generated by the dripping of the condensed water, thereby achieving the purpose of silently recovering the condensed water.

[0091] When the condensed water flows along the water guide ribs 120, the acceleration of the water flow in the downward flow process can be slowed down by the adhesion of the water guide ribs 120, thereby preventing the condensed water from dripping onto the water surface in the water tank 11 and generating noise. At the same time, the condensed water can also be prevented from splashing in the process of being introduced into the accommodating space 110.

[0092] Optionally, in this embodiment, the height of the water guide rib 120 protruding from the inner wall of the accommodating space 110 gradually decreases from top to bottom. By setting the protruding height of the water guide rib 120 to gradually decrease, the water guide rib 120 can guide the condensed water to the inner wall of the accommodating space 110, so as to facilitate the condensed water to flow along the inner wall of the accommodating space 110 to the bottom of the accommodating space 110, facilitate the reception of the condensed water, and further improve the technical problem of water droplets generating noise in the water tank in the prior art.

[0093] It should be understood that the protruding height of the water-guiding rib 120 may also be set in other ways. For example, the water-guiding rib 120 extends from top to bottom until it contacts the bottom wall of the accommodating space 110, and the protruding height of the water-guiding rib 120 is constant. For example, in other embodiments, the protruding height of the water-guiding rib 120 relative to the inner wall of the accommodating space 110 may also gradually increase from top to bottom.

[0094] In addition, in this embodiment, the water guide rib 120 is in the form of a sheet. The sheet-shaped water guide rib 120 can conveniently receive the condensed water introduced by the water guide assembly 420, which is conducive to quickly guiding the condensed water to the vertical side, and convenient for the condensed water to flow downward along the water guide rib 120. In other words, when the guide channel 4212 guides the condensed water to the water guide rib 120, the condensed water directly contacts the top of the water guide rib 120. Since the water guide rib 120 is in the form of a sheet, the condensed water will not stay on the top of the water guide rib 120, but will directly flow downward along the sides of the water guide rib 120, which can quickly complete the diversion of the condensed water and facilitate the collection of the condensed water.

[0095] It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, the shape of the water guide rib 120 may also be other shapes, for example, the water guide rib 120 is tubular or strip-shaped.

[0096] Furthermore, if Fig.10 and Fig.14 The water guide assembly 420 includes a water guide block 422, which is arranged at the lower end of the guide channel 4212 and extends downward to the top of the water guide rib 120. In order to ensure that the water flow guided by the guide channel 4212 can be guided to the water guide rib 120, the water guide block 422 is arranged at the lower end of the guide channel 4212. The water guide block 422 can guide the water guided by the guide channel 4212 to the water guide rib 120, ensuring that the water flow is guided into the accommodating space 110 by the water guide rib 120, so as to achieve the purpose of silently recovering condensed water.

[0097] Optionally, the water guide block 422 may be in a state of being larger at the top and smaller at the bottom to facilitate the guidance of the flow direction of the condensed water. For example, the water guide block 422 may be roughly in a semicircular shape or an inverted triangle shape.

[0098] In addition, a small distance is formed between the water guide block 422 and the water guide rib 120, so that the water guide block 422 can guide the water flow to the water guide rib 120. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the water guide block 422 can directly contact the water guide rib 120.

[0099] In this embodiment, the water guide assembly 420 includes a water guide plate 421, on which two opposite guide surfaces 4211 are formed, and a guide channel 4212 is formed on the sides where the two guide surfaces 4211 overlap, and the two guide surfaces 4211 are inclined toward the guide channel 4212. The water guide efficiency can be improved by guiding the water flow to one guide channel 4212 through the two guide surfaces 4211. The water guide block 422 is arranged at the bottom of the water guide plate 421 to facilitate guiding the water flow to the water guide rib 120.

[0100] In summary, in the water tank 11 and the dehumidifier 10 provided in the present embodiment, since the elastic buckle 220 extends into the assembly space 213, the float 300 in the assembly space 213 can be provided with a function of limiting its escape from the assembly space 213; that is, when the water in the accommodating space 110 enters the assembly space 213 through the connecting groove 211 so that the float 300 floats up, the elastic buckle 220 can be used to prevent the float 300 from escaping from the assembly space 213, thereby preventing the float 300 from falling. Moreover, by limiting the float 300 through the vertically arranged assembly space 213, it can be ensured that the float 300 stably floats up and down in the assembly space 213 following the water level, and the problem of the float 300 getting stuck can be improved. Based on this, the water tank 11 can achieve the improvement of the technical problems of the float being easily lost and easily failing in the prior art. In addition, during the process of the float 300 being installed into the assembly space 213, since the elastic buckle 220 is arranged corresponding to the connecting groove 211, it is convenient for the elastic buckle 220 to enter the connecting groove 211 when it is elastically deformed to avoid the float 300, thereby facilitating the assembly of the float 300 and improving the assembly efficiency of the float 300. In other words, the elastic buckle 220 is not only used to restrict the float 300 from escaping from the assembly space 213, but also to facilitate the assembly of the float 300. When the water in the water receiving tray of the dehumidifier 10 is led to the cover 400 of the water tank 11, the water can be guided to the guide channel 4212 through the guide surface 4211 on the water guide assembly 420, and then guided to the water guide hole 412 by the guide channel 4212, so as to introduce the water into the water tank 11 to complete the collection of condensed water. When the condensed water generated on the heat exchanger in the dehumidifier 10 is directed to the cover 400 of the water tank 11, the water can be directed to the inside of the water tank 11 through the water guide assembly 420; since the water guide ribs 120 correspond to the water guide assembly 420 and can receive the water introduced into the accommodating space 110 by the water guide assembly 420, the condensed water can flow into the accommodating space 110 along the water guide ribs 120, and the situation in which the condensed water drops on the water surface to form noise can be avoided. Based on this, the water tank 11 and the dehumidifier 10 can improve the technical problem of noise generated by water droplets in the water tank in the prior art.

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.
