TECHNICAL FIELD

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

[0002] In the prior art, the water tank of the dehumidifier is generally used to receive the condensed water formed by the heat exchanger of the dehumidifier, and a structure for guiding the condensed water into the tank is generally arranged on the cover of the water tank. Then, in the case of guiding the condensed water into the water tank, the problem of water droplets falling on the water surface and generating noise occurs, which affects the user experience. SUMMARY

[0003] The problem solved by the present application is how to improve the technical problem of noise generated by water droplets in the water tank in the prior art.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application provides a water tank applied to a dehumidifier, which comprises:

[0005] a tank body, which is internally provided with a containing space;

[0006] a tank cover, which comprises a cover main body and a water guiding assembly; the cover main body is connected to the tank body to cover the containing space; a water guiding groove is arranged on the cover main body, and a water guiding hole communicating with the containing space is arranged on the groove wall of the water guiding groove; the water guiding assembly is arranged inside the water guiding groove and is used to guide the water flow from the water guiding hole into the containing space; and

[0007] a water guiding rib, which is arranged on the inner wall of the containing space and extends downward, and the top of the water guiding rib corresponds to the water guiding assembly to receive the water guided by the water guiding assembly into the containing space.

[0008] The water tank provided by the present application has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0009] When the condensed water generated on the heat exchanger of the dehumidifier is guided to the cover of the water tank, the water can be guided into the water tank by the water guiding assembly; since the water guiding rib corresponds to the water guiding assembly and can receive the water guided by the water guiding assembly into the containing space, the condensed water can flow along the water guiding rib into the containing space, and the situation that the condensed water falls on the water surface to generate noise can be avoided. Based on this, the water tank provided by the present application 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 guiding rib protruding from the inner wall of the containing space gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0011] The height of the protruding water guide rib is gradually reduced, so that the water guide rib guides the condensed water to the inner side wall of the accommodation space, facilitating the flow of the condensed water along the inner side wall of the accommodation space to the bottom of the accommodation space, facilitating the collection of the condensed water, and further improving the technical problem of noise caused by water droplets in the water tank in the prior art.

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

[0013] The sheet-shaped water guide rib can facilitate the collection of the condensed water introduced by the water guide assembly, and facilitate the rapid guidance of the condensed water to the vertical side surface.

[0014] Optionally, at least one flow guide surface and at least one flow guide channel are formed on the water guide assembly, the flow guide channel extends along one side of the flow guide surface, the flow guide surface is inclined towards the flow guide channel, and the flow guide channel is inclined relative to the cover body, the lower end of the flow guide channel is connected to the water guide hole, and the water guide rib is arranged at the lower end of the flow guide channel.

[0015] When the water in the water pan of the dehumidifier is guided to the cover body of the water tank, the water can be guided to the flow guide channel through the flow guide surface on the water guide assembly, and then guided to the water guide hole through the flow guide channel, so as to guide the water into the water tank and complete the collection of the condensed water.

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

[0017] In order to ensure that the water flow guided by the flow guide channel can be guided to the water guide rib, the water guide block is arranged at the lower end of the flow guide channel, which can guide the water discharged by the flow guide channel to the water guide rib, so as to ensure that the water flow is guided into the accommodation space by the water guide rib and achieve the purpose of silent recovery of the condensed water.

[0018] Optionally, the angle of inclination of the flow guide surface towards the flow guide channel is greater than or equal to 7°.

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

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

[0021] Optionally, the water guide assembly comprises a water guide plate, two opposite flow guide surfaces are formed on the water guide plate, the flow guide channel is formed on the side edge where the two flow guide surfaces coincide, and both of the flow guide surfaces are inclined towards the flow guide channel.

[0022] The water flow can be guided to the water guide channel through the two water guide surfaces, so that the water guiding efficiency is improved.

[0023] Optionally, the water tank further comprises a containing structure and a float, the containing structure comprises a containing body and an elastic buckle, the containing body is arranged on the inner wall of the containing space, and a vertical assembly space is arranged in the containing body; a communication groove is further arranged on the side wall of the containing body and in communication with the assembly space; and the elastic buckle is arranged on the side wall of the containing body and corresponds to the communication groove; and 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, the float in the assembly space can be limited from being taken out of the assembly space; that is, when the water in the containing space enters the assembly space through the communication groove to make the float float up, the float can be prevented from being taken out of the assembly space by the elastic buckle, so that the problem of the float being lost can be prevented. Moreover, the float can be limited by the vertically arranged assembly space to ensure that the float stably floats up and down in the assembly space following the water level, so that the problem of the float being stuck can be improved, and the technical problems of the float being easily lost and easily failing in the prior art can be solved.

[0026] In addition, during the process of the float being arranged in the assembly space, since the elastic buckle is arranged corresponding to the communication groove, the elastic buckle can enter the communication groove to avoid the float when the elastic buckle is elastically deformed, so that the assembly of the float is facilitated, and the assembly efficiency of the float can be improved. That is, the function of the elastic buckle is not only to limit the float from being taken out of the assembly space, but also to facilitate the assembly of the float.

[0027] Optionally, the communication groove is vertically arranged; and 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 the side of the connecting portion facing the assembly space.

[0029] During the process of the water level rising in the containing space, the water can be guided into the assembly space in real time through the vertically arranged communication groove, so that the float can sensitively reflect the water level in the containing space. The elastic buckle is borne by the connecting portion, so that the arrangement of the elastic buckle is facilitated, and the elastic buckle can enter the communication groove to avoid the assembly of the float.

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

[0031] When the water in the accommodation space also does not reach the accommodation body, the bottom of the communication groove extends to the bottom wall of the assembly space, so that the water in the accommodation space can be introduced into the assembly space in time, and the liquid level in the assembly space can be smoothly raised following the liquid level in the accommodation space, thereby preventing the water in the accommodation space from being suddenly introduced into the assembly space to cause the float to fluctuate greatly and affect the liquid level detection.

[0032] Optionally, the elastic buckle comprises 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 inclined surface on the side facing the assembly space, so that the thickness of the guide portion gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0033] In the case where the float is assembled into the assembly space, the guide portion with the increasing thickness can provide effective limiting action to the float to prevent the float from being pulled out of the assembly space. During the assembly of the float, the first guide inclined surface can facilitate the float to push the guide portion, so as to facilitate the guide portion to avoid the float and facilitate the assembly of the float.

[0034] Optionally, the side of the elastic portion away from the guide portion is provided with a second guide inclined surface, so that the thickness of part of the elastic portion at the top gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0035] The second guide inclined surface can make the assembly inlet of the assembly space have a flared shape, so as to facilitate the alignment of the float and the assembly of the float.

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

[0037] By limiting the float through the side wall of the accommodation body, the float can be prevented from being deflected during the up-and-down floating process to cause jamming.

[0038] Optionally, at least one side wall of the accommodation body is protruded to form a vertical rib, and the float is in contact with the rib.

[0039] By contacting the outside of the float through the rib, the contact area of the float and the side wall of the accommodation body can be reduced, thereby reducing the friction and facilitating the up-and-down floating of the float in the assembly space.

[0040] Optionally, the top of the rib is provided with a third guide inclined surface, so that the thickness of part of the top of the rib gradually increases from top to bottom.

[0041] Through the provision of the third guide inclined surface, the assembly inlet of the assembly space can be further enlarged to facilitate the assembly of the float.

[0042] A dehumidifier comprises the water tank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] In order to make the above-mentioned objectives, characteristics and advantages of the present application more apparent and comprehensible, specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 1 , the present embodiment provides a dehumidifier 10, which can be used to provide dehumidification to a designated area to improve the comfort of the designated area. During dehumidification, the dehumidifier 10 can condense the moisture in the air into liquid water, which can also be referred to as condensed water; the dehumidifier 10 can collect and discharge the condensed water uniformly to prevent the condensed water from dripping on the designated area and affecting the user experience of the users in the designated area.

[0062] In the present embodiment, the dehumidifier 10 includes a water tank 11 for collecting condensed water, which can improve the technical problems of the prior art that the float is easy to be lost and easy to fail. Therefore, the dehumidifier 10 using the water tank 11 can also achieve the purpose of improving the technical problems of the prior art that the float is easy to be lost and easy to fail.

[0063] It should be noted that the dehumidifier 10 also includes condensers, compressors, fans, expansion valves and other components to achieve the functions of the dehumidifier 10. The above-mentioned other components are prior art and will not be described here.

[0064] In the present embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 Figure 4 and Figure 5The water tank 11 comprises a tank body 100, a containing structure 200 and a float 300. The tank body 100 is internally provided with a containing space 110 for collecting condensed water. The containing structure 200 comprises 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 internally provided with a vertical assembly space 213. A communication groove 211 is further arranged on the side wall of the containing body 210 and the assembly space 213 is communicated with the containing space 110 through the communication groove 211. The elastic buckle 220 is arranged on the side wall of the containing body 210 and corresponds to the communication 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] In the above, the vertical arrangement refers to the vertical direction when the dehumidifier 10 is in normal use. Correspondingly, the horizontal direction in this article is based on the horizontal direction when the dehumidifier 10 is in normal use.

[0066] In the above, in the dehumidifier 10 and the water tank 11, since the elastic buckle 220 extends into the assembly space 213, the float 300 in the assembly space 213 can be limited from being taken out of the assembly space 213. That is, when the water in the containing space 110 enters the assembly space 213 through the communication groove 211 to make the float 300 float up, the float 300 can be prevented from being taken out of the assembly space 213 by the elastic buckle 220, so that the problem of the float 300 being lost can be prevented. Moreover, the float 300 is limited by the vertically arranged assembly space 213, so that the float 300 can stably float up and down in the assembly space 213 following the water level, and the problem of the float 300 being stuck can be improved. Therefore, the water tank 11 can solve 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 assembled into the assembly space 213, since the elastic buckle 220 is arranged corresponding to the communication groove 211, the elastic buckle 220 can be deformed to enter the communication groove 211 to avoid the float 300, so that the float 300 can be conveniently assembled, and the assembly efficiency of the float 300 can be improved. That is, the function of the elastic buckle 220 is not only to limit the float 300 from being taken out of the assembly space 213, but also to facilitate the assembly of the float 300.

[0067] Optionally, in this embodiment, the communication groove 211 is vertically arranged. During the process of the water level rising in the containing space 110, the water can be introduced into the assembly space 213 through the vertically arranged communication groove 211 in real time, so that the float 300 can sensitively reflect the water level in the containing space 110.

[0068] It is worth mentioning that, since the float 300 operates by following the water level up and down to monitor the water level in the accommodation space 110, the float 300 needs to be provided with sufficient length in the vertical direction to facilitate the up and down floating of the float 300, and 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 considered to be much smaller than the length of the assembly space 213 in the vertical direction. Based on this, in order to facilitate the assembly space 213 to sensitively reflect the water level in the accommodation space 110, the communication groove 211 is also set in a vertical state; in the case of a change in the water level in the accommodation space 110, the condensate water can be introduced into the assembly space 213 in real time, and the float 300 can be caused to float up and down in time to sensitively monitor the water level in the water tank 11.

[0069] At the same time, in order to facilitate the provision of a clearance space for the elastic buckle 220, the communication groove 211 is extended to the top of the side wall of the accommodation body 210, and based on this, the communication groove 211 is in a vertical state.

[0070] It should be understood that in other embodiments of the present application, if other ways are used to provide a clearance space for the elastic deformation of the elastic buckle 220, the communication groove 211 can also be provided only at the bottom of the side wall of the accommodation body 210, and can also be considered to be in a hole shape. For example, an avoidance groove can be opened on the inner side wall of the accommodation body 210 to avoid the elastic buckle 220, etc.

[0071] Further, the bottom of the communication groove 211 extends to the bottom wall of the assembly space 213. When the water in the accommodation space 110 does not reach the accommodation body 210, the bottom of the communication groove 211 extends to the bottom wall of the assembly space 213, so that the water in the accommodation space 110 can be introduced into the assembly space 213 in time, and the liquid level in the assembly space 213 can be caused to smoothly rise following the liquid level in the accommodation space 110, preventing the sudden introduction of water in the accommodation space 110 into the assembly space 213 from causing the float 300 to fluctuate greatly and affecting the liquid level detection.

[0072] In addition, in the present embodiment, the end of the communication groove 211 away from the bottom wall of the assembly space 213 is provided with a connecting portion 2111, and the connecting portion 2111 is arranged across the communication 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 entry of the elastic buckle 220 into the communication groove 211 to avoid the assembly of the float 300.

[0073] Optionally, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The elastic buckle 220 comprises an elastic part 221 and a guide part 222. The elastic part 221 is connected to the connecting part 2111 and extends downward, and the guide part 222 is connected below the elastic part 221. The guide part 222 is provided with a first guide inclined surface 2221 on the side facing the assembly space 213, so that the thickness of the guide part 222 gradually increases from top to bottom. In the case that the float 300 is assembled into the assembly space 213, the guide part 222 with increasing thickness can provide effective limiting effect to the float 300 to prevent the float 300 from being pulled out of the assembly space 213. During the assembly of the float 300, the first guide inclined surface 2221 can facilitate the float 300 to push the guide part 222, so as to facilitate the guide part 222 to avoid the float 300, and facilitate the assembly of the float 300.

[0074] Further, the side of the elastic part 221 away from the guide part 222 is provided with a second guide inclined surface 2211, so that the thickness of the part of the elastic part 221 at the top gradually increases from top to bottom. The second guide inclined surface 2211 can make the entrance of the assembly space 213 flared, facilitating the alignment of the float 300, and further facilitating the assembly of the float 300.

[0075] During the assembly of the float 300, the float 300 first contacts the second guide inclined surface 2211, and is guided by the second guide inclined surface 2211 to align with the assembly space 213. Then the float 300 moves downward along the elastic part 221, until the float 300 contacts the first guide inclined surface 2221. Then the guide part 222 can be pushed to move while the elastic part 221 elastically deforms, so that the guide part 222 moves towards the communication groove 211 during the continuous downward movement of the float 300. After the float 300 is assembled into the assembly space 213, the elastic part 221 returns to the initial position, and the guide part 222 is driven 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 being pulled out.

[0076] In the embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the float 300 floating up and down, the float 300 is in contact with the side wall of the accommodating body 210. By limiting the float 300 through the side wall of the accommodating body 210, the deflection of the float 300 during the floating up and down can be prevented.

[0077] Optionally, please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, at least one side wall of the accommodating body 210 is protruded to form a vertical rib 212, and the float 300 contacts the rib 212. By contacting the outside of the float 300 through the rib 212, the contact area between the float 300 and the side wall of the accommodating body 210 can be reduced, thereby reducing the friction 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 strip protruded on the side wall of the accommodating body 210.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present embodiment, the inner side of each side wall of the accommodating body 210 is provided with a plurality of protruding ribs 212, which are arranged at intervals to provide support to the float 300 at multiple positions, ensuring the overall stability of the float 300 and the stability of the up-and-down floating of the float 300.

[0079] In addition, the side surface of the protruding rib 212 in contact with the float 300 can be a flat surface or a curved surface.

[0080] Optionally, the top of the protruding rib 212 is provided with a third guide slope 2121, so that the thickness of the top portion of the protruding rib 212 gradually increases from top to bottom. Through the arrangement of the third guide slope 2121, the inlet of the assembly space 213 can be further expanded, facilitating the loading of the float 300.

[0081] Of course, in other embodiments, the third guide slope 2121 can be omitted.

[0082] In the present embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the water tank 11 further comprises 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 comprises a cover body 410 and a water guide assembly 420. The cover body 410 is provided with a water guide groove 411, and the groove wall of the water guide groove 411 is provided with a water guide hole 412 communicating with the accommodating space 110. The water guide assembly 420 is arranged inside the water guide groove 411 and is used to guide the 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. The top of the water guide rib 120 corresponds to the water guide assembly 420 to receive the water guided by the water guide assembly 420 into the accommodating space 110.

[0083] In the dehumidifier 10, the condensed water generated on the heat exchanger is guided to the cover body 400 of the water tank 11. The water guide assembly 420 can guide the condensed water into the water tank 11. Since the water guide rib 120 corresponds 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 along the water guide rib 120 into the accommodating space 110, avoiding the situation that the condensed water drops on the water surface to form noise. Based on this, the water tank 11 can improve the technical problem of noise caused by water drops in the water tank in the prior art.

[0084] In the embodiment, at least one guide surface 4211 and at least one guide channel 4212 are formed on the water guide assembly 420, the guide channel 4212 is arranged along one side of the guide surface 4211, the guide surface 4211 is arranged to be inclined towards the guide channel 4212, and the guide channel 4212 is arranged to be inclined relative to the cover body 410, and the lower end of the guide channel 4212 is connected to the water guide hole 412. When the water in the water pan in the dehumidifier 10 is guided to 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 through the guide channel 4212, so as to guide the water into the water tank 11, thereby completing the collection of the condensed water.

[0085] In the embodiment, the guide surface 4211 is arranged to be inclined towards the guide channel 4212, which means that the height of the side of the guide surface 4211 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 is guided to one side of the guide channel 4212, and the guide channel 4212 is also arranged to be inclined, so that the condensed water in the guide channel 4212 is guided to the lower end of the guide channel 4212, and then guided into the water tank 11 through the water guide hole 412.

[0086] It should be noted that the water tank 11 is generally assembled on the partition plate of the dehumidifier 10, and a water pan for receiving the condensed water is arranged above the partition plate, the condensed water dripping from the heat exchanger is collected on the water pan, and then guided to the water tank 11 by the water pan. When the condensed water is guided out by the water pan, the water guide assembly 420 is used to receive the condensed water and guide the condensed water into the accommodation space 110 in the water tank 11.

[0087] Optionally, please refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the angle at which the guide surface 4211 is inclined towards 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 angle at which the guide surface 4211 is inclined or the angle at which the guide channel 4212 is inclined is too small, the water flow guiding effect is poor and the recovery rate is slow, so the angle at which the guide channel 4212 is inclined is greater than or equal to 7°, and / or the angle at which the guide surface 4211 is inclined relative to the guide channel 4212 is greater than or equal to 7°, so as to improve the guiding efficiency. It should be noted that in the Figure 11 , the guide channel 4212 is located at 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 of the double arrow mark on the higher side of the guide surface 4211 can also indicate the angle at which the guide channel 4212 is inclined.

[0088] In addition, "and / or" means that the deflector 4211 can be inclined to the deflector channel 4212 at an angle greater than or equal to 7°, or the deflector channel 4212 can be inclined to the cover body 410 at an angle greater than or equal to 7°, or both the deflector 4211 and the deflector channel 4212 can be inclined to the cover body 410 at an angle greater than or equal to 7°.

[0089] It should be noted that, considering the height of the water guide assembly 420 in the vertical direction and the span in the horizontal direction, the inclination angle of the deflector 4211 to the deflector channel 4212 should be less than 45°, and the inclination angle of the deflector channel 4212 to the cover body 410 should be less than 45°.

[0090] Optionally, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 14 , the water guide rib 120 is arranged on the inner circumferential wall of the accommodation space 110 and extends downward, and the top of the water guide rib 120 corresponds to the lower end of the deflector channel 4212. After the condensed water is discharged from the water guide hole 412, the condensed water can be guided to the water guide rib 120, and then flow into the accommodation space 110 along the water guide rib 120, so that the noise caused by the condensed water droplets can be avoided, thereby achieving the purpose of silent recovery of condensed water.

[0091] In the case of condensed water flowing along the water guide rib 120, the water flow can be slowed down by the adhesion of the water guide rib 120 during the downward flow, thereby preventing the noise caused by the condensed water droplets falling onto the water surface in the water tank 11. At the same time, it can also prevent the splashing of condensed water during the process of guiding the condensed water into the accommodation space 110.

[0092] Optionally, in this embodiment, the height of the water guide rib 120 protruding from the inner wall of the accommodation space 110 gradually decreases from top to bottom. By setting the height of the water guide rib 120 protruding to gradually decrease, the water guide rib 120 can guide the condensed water to the inner side wall of the accommodation space 110, so that the condensed water can flow along the inner side wall of the accommodation space 110 to the bottom of the accommodation space 110, facilitating the collection of the condensed water, and further improving the technical problem of noise caused by water droplets in the water tank in the prior art.

[0093] It should be understood that the protruding height of the water guide rib 120 can also be set in other ways, for example, the water guide rib 120 extends from top to bottom to contact the bottom wall of the accommodation space 110, and the protruding height of the water guide rib 120 is constant; for example, in other embodiments, the protruding height of the water guide rib 120 relative to the inner wall of the accommodation space 110 can also gradually increase from top to bottom.

[0094] In addition, in the embodiment, the water guide rib 120 is in a sheet shape. The water guide rib 120 in the sheet shape can conveniently receive the condensed water introduced by the water guide assembly 420, and is conducive to quickly guiding the condensed water to the vertical side surface, and facilitating the flow of the condensed water along the water guide rib 120 downward. In other words, in the case that the water 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 sheet shape, the condensed water will not stay on the top of the water guide rib 120, but will directly flow downward along the side surfaces of the two sides of the water guide rib 120, so that the flow of the condensed water can be quickly guided, and the collection of the condensed water is facilitated.

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

[0096] Further, as Figure 10 and Figure 14 The water guide assembly 420 includes a water guide block 422, which is arranged at the lower end of the water 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 water 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 water guide channel 4212, which can guide the water discharged by the water guide channel 4212 to the water guide rib 120, so as to ensure that the water flow is introduced into the containing space 110 by the water guide rib 120, and the purpose of silent recovery of the condensed water is achieved.

[0097] Optionally, the water guide block 422 can be in a state of large at the top and small at the bottom, so as to facilitate the guidance of the flow direction of the condensed water. For example, the water guide block 422 is in a semicircular shape or an inverted triangular shape, etc.

[0098] In addition, a small distance is formed between the water guide block 422 and the water guide rib 120, so as to facilitate the water guide block 422 to 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 the embodiment, the water guide assembly 420 includes a water guide plate 421, and two opposite water guide surfaces 4211 are formed on the water guide plate 421. The water guide channel 4212 is formed at the side edges where the two water guide surfaces 4211 coincide, and the two water guide surfaces 4211 are both inclined to the water guide channel 4212. By guiding the water flow to one water guide channel 4212 through the two water guide surfaces 4211, the flow guiding efficiency can be improved. The water guide block 422 is arranged at the bottom of the water guide plate 421, so as to facilitate the water flow to the water guide rib 120.

[0100] In summary, in the water tank 11 and the dehumidifier 10 provided in the embodiment, the elastic buckle 220 extends into the assembly space 213, so as to provide the function of limiting the float 300 from being taken out of the assembly space 213. That is, when the water in the accommodation space 110 enters the assembly space 213 through the communication groove 211, and the float 300 is floated up, the elastic buckle 220 can prevent the float 300 from being taken out of the assembly space 213, so as to prevent the problem of the float 300 being lost. In addition, the float 300 is limited by the vertically arranged assembly space 213, so as to ensure that the float 300 is stably floated up and down in the assembly space 213, and the problem of the float 300 being stuck can be improved. Therefore, the water tank 11 can solve the technical problems of the float being easily lost and easily failed in the prior art. In addition, during the process of the float 300 being assembled into the assembly space 213, the elastic buckle 220 is arranged corresponding to the communication groove 211, so as to facilitate the elastic buckle 220 to be elastically deformed and enter the communication groove 211 to avoid the float 300, and then facilitate the assembly of the float 300, and the assembly efficiency of the float 300 can be improved. That is, the function of the elastic buckle 220 is not only to limit the float 300 from being taken out of the assembly space 213, but also to facilitate the assembly of the float 300. When the water in the water pan of the dehumidifier 10 is guided to the cover 400 of the water tank 11, the water can be guided to the water guide channel 4212 through the water guide surface 4211 of the water guide assembly 420, and then guided to the water guide hole 412 through the water guide channel 4212, so as to guide the water into the water tank 11, and complete the collection of the condensed water. When the condensed water generated on the heat exchanger of the dehumidifier 10 is guided to the cover 400 of the water tank 11, the condensed water can be guided into the water tank 11 through the water guide assembly 420. Since the water guide rib 120 corresponds to the water guide assembly 420 and can receive the water guided into the accommodation space 110 by the water guide assembly 420, the condensed water can flow along the water guide rib 120 to the accommodation space 110, so as to avoid the problem of the condensed water falling on the water surface and generating noise. Therefore, the water tank 11 and the dehumidifier 10 can solve the technical problem of the water droplets in the water tank generating noise in the prior art.

[0101] Although the present application has been disclosed as above, it is not limited to the above. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application should be defined by the scope defined in the claims.
