Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a dehumidifier, more specifically, to a bottom shell structure of a dehumidifier. Background Art

[0002] Dehumidifier is a common equipment in people's daily life and industrial production. It mainly consists of evaporator, condenser, compressor, throttle and other components. During operation, the evaporator absorbs external heat, and the surface temperature of the evaporator pipe drops. After the temperature drops to the dew point temperature, the water vapor in the air liquefies on the surface of the evaporator to form condensed water. In order to facilitate the discharge of condensed water, a water receiving pan is generally set under the evaporator to collect the condensed water. Since the water receiving pan needs to be arranged under the evaporator, the vertical space is increased, which will increase the volume of the dehumidifier case, which is not conducive to the design of compact and miniaturized dehumidifiers. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the utility model provides a dehumidifier bottom shell structure, which can make the water receiving tray and the evaporator staggered, save vertical space, and is conducive to the design of compact and miniaturized dehumidifiers.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: a dehumidifier bottom shell structure, including a bottom shell body, an evaporator installation area and a water receiving trough are arranged on the bottom shell body, a diversion slope is arranged in the evaporator installation area, the evaporator installation area and the water receiving trough are staggered, one end of the diversion slope is placed on the edge of the water receiving trough, and the diversion slope is inclined from top to bottom toward the direction close to the water receiving trough.

[0005] The evaporator is installed in the evaporator installation area on the bottom shell body. The evaporator installation area is provided with a diversion slope. The condensed water formed by liquefaction on the surface of the evaporator drops onto the diversion slope. The diversion slope is inclined from top to bottom toward the direction close to the water receiving tank. Therefore, the water flows along the diversion slope into the water receiving tank. The diversion slope is only used for diversion of water flow, not for water storage. Therefore, the distance between the diversion slope and the lower end of the evaporator is small, and the evaporator installation area and the water receiving tank are staggered, so that the vertical space of the evaporator position can be reduced.

[0006] The dehumidifier bottom shell structure of this patent application enables the water receiving pan and the evaporator to be staggered, saving vertical space and being conducive to the design of a compact and miniaturized dehumidifier.

[0007] Preferably, a water baffle is provided between the diversion slope and the water receiving trough, and a one-way flow mechanism is provided on the water baffle to enable water to flow from the diversion slope to the water receiving trough in one direction.

[0008] During the transportation or installation of the dehumidifier, the condensed water remaining in the water receiving tank may flow back. In this solution, a one-way flow mechanism is set on the water baffle plate, so that the water can only flow in one direction from the diversion slope to the water receiving tank. During the transportation or installation of the dehumidifier, the condensed water in the water receiving tank can be prevented from flowing back to the diversion slope, but it does not affect the condensed water remaining on the diversion slope from flowing to the water receiving tank.

[0009] Preferably, the one-way flow mechanism includes a cover plate, flow holes are correspondingly arranged on the water baffle plate and the cover plate, the upper part of the cover plate is hinged on the water baffle plate, and the cover plate covers the flow holes near the opening end of the water receiving trough.

[0010] The upper part of the cover is hinged. Under the action of gravity, the cover is in a vertical state, just fitting with the water baffle to cover the open end of the flow hole close to the water tank. When water flows from the diversion slope to the flow hole, the water pushes the cover open and the water flows into the water tank. When the dehumidifier shakes and the water tank side is higher than the diversion slope, the cover covers the flow hole under the action of gravity to prevent water from flowing from the water tank to the diversion slope.

[0011] In another solution, the one-way flow mechanism includes a gravity ball, a water outlet hole matching the gravity ball is arranged on the water baffle, the gravity ball is placed at the water outlet hole close to the opening end of the water receiving trough, and the gravity ball and the water baffle are movably connected.

[0012] The gravity ball deviates downward from the water outlet under the action of gravity, so that there is a gap between the gravity ball and the inner wall of the water outlet, which facilitates the flow of water from the diversion slope to the water receiving trough. When the dehumidifier shakes and the water receiving trough side is higher than the diversion slope, the gravity ball covers the water outlet under the action of gravity, preventing water from flowing from the water receiving trough to the diversion slope.

[0013] Preferably, a pull rope is connected between the gravity ball and the water retaining plate, and the pull rope limits the gravity ball so that the gravity ball is always placed at the opening position of the water outlet.

[0014] The gravity ball and the water retaining plate are connected by a pull rope, so that the gravity ball can move freely at the opening position of the water outlet hole, thereby preventing the gravity ball from escaping from the water outlet hole.

[0015] Preferably, the opening of the water outlet near the water receiving tank is in a trumpet-shaped structure.

[0016] The water outlet opening is in a trumpet-shaped structure. When the gravity ball covers the water outlet, the gravity ball fits well with the side wall of the water outlet, thereby ensuring the sealing performance.

[0017] Preferably, the guide slope on the bottom shell body is sunken to form a guide groove, and the bottom surface of the guide groove is the guide slope.

[0018] The diversion slope is arranged on the bottom surface of the sunken diversion trough to make the water flow towards the water receiving trough.

[0019] Preferably, the evaporator installation area is arranged at one side edge of the bottom shell body, and the condenser installation area and the fan installation area are arranged on the bottom shell body in sequence from one side of the evaporator installation area to the other opposite side.

[0020] The condenser is installed in the condenser installation area, and the fan is installed in the fan installation area. When the fan is started, the air flow is sucked in from the evaporator side and discharged outward from the fan side after passing through the condenser.

[0021] Preferably, the condenser installation area and the fan installation area are both sunken to form installation grooves.

[0022] The setting of the installation slot makes the installation and positioning of the condenser and the fan more convenient.

[0023] Preferably, the bottom surface of the water receiving trough is lower than the diversion slope.

[0024] The water collection trough is set low to facilitate the collection of water.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are: (1) the bottom shell structure of the dehumidifier can make the water receiving tray and the evaporator staggered, saving vertical space and being conducive to the design of compact and miniaturized dehumidifiers; (2) during the transportation or installation of the dehumidifier, the condensed water in the water receiving trough can be prevented from flowing back to the diversion slope, but it does not affect the condensed water remaining on the diversion slope from flowing to the water receiving trough.

The evaporator installation area 2 is arranged on one side edge of the bottom shell body 1, and the condenser installation area 11 and the fan installation area 12 are arranged on the bottom shell body 1 in sequence from one side of the evaporator installation area 2 to the other opposite side.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, the condenser 14 is installed in the condenser installation area 11, and the fan 15 is installed in the fan installation area 12. When the fan 15 is started, the air flow is sucked in from the evaporator 13 side, and discharged from the fan 15 side after passing through the condenser 14. The compressor 16 is installed in the compressor installation area 9, and the water pump 17 and the electric control box 18 are installed above the water tank 3. The water inlet of the water pump 17 extends into the water tank 3, and the water outlet of the water pump 17 is connected to the water outlet pipe 19, and the water outlet pipe 19 extends to the outside of the dehumidifier. The front side of the bottom shell body 1 is provided with an air inlet plate installation groove 20, and the air inlet plate 21 is installed at the position of the air inlet plate installation groove 20, and the air inlet mesh is provided on the air inlet plate 21. The rear side of the bottom shell body 1 is provided with an air outlet plate installation groove 22, and the air outlet plate 23 is installed at the position of the air outlet plate installation groove 22, and the air outlet mesh is provided on the air outlet plate 23.

[0036] The evaporator 13 is installed in the evaporator installation area 2 on the bottom shell body 1, and the evaporator installation area 2 is provided with a guide slope 4. The condensed water formed by liquefaction on the surface of the evaporator 13 drips onto the guide slope 4, and the guide slope 4 is inclined from top to bottom toward the direction close to the water receiving tank 3, so the water flows along the guide slope 4 to the water receiving tank 3. The guide slope 4 is only used for guiding the water flow, not for water storage, so the distance between the guide slope 4 and the lower end of the evaporator 13 is small, and the evaporator installation area 2 and the water receiving tank 3 are staggered, so that the vertical space at the position of the evaporator 13 can be reduced.

[0037] Example 2: A dehumidifier bottom shell structure (see attached Figure 3 ), including a bottom shell body 1, an evaporator installation area 2 and a water receiving groove 3 are arranged on the bottom shell body 1, the evaporator installation area 2 and the water receiving groove 3 are arranged side by side, the evaporator installation area 2 is provided with a guide slope 4, the evaporator installation area 2 and the water receiving groove 3 are arranged in a staggered manner, one end of the guide slope 4 is placed on the edge of the water receiving groove 3, the guide slope 4 is inclined from top to bottom toward the direction close to the water receiving groove 3, the inclination angle is less than 5 degrees, and the inclination angle is set to 1 degree in this embodiment. The bottom surface of the water receiving groove 3 is lower than the guide slope 4.

[0038] The guide slope 4 on the bottom shell body 1 is sunken to form a guide groove 5, and the bottom surface of the guide groove 5 is the guide slope 4; the water receiving groove 3 is arranged on the left side of the guide slope 4. The condenser installation area 11 and the fan installation area 12 are both sunken to form a mounting groove 6. A positioning protrusion 7 is arranged on the side wall of the mounting groove 6. An air flow mixing area 8 is arranged between the condenser installation area 11 and the fan installation area 12.

The evaporator installation area 2 is arranged on one side edge of the bottom shell body 1, and the condenser installation area 11 and the fan installation area 12 are arranged on the bottom shell body 1 in sequence from one side of the evaporator installation area 2 to the other opposite side.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the condenser 14 is installed in the condenser installation area 11, and the fan 15 is installed in the fan installation area 12. When the fan 15 is started, the air flow is sucked in from the evaporator 13 side, and discharged from the fan 15 side after passing through the condenser 14. The compressor 16 is installed in the compressor installation area 9, and the water pump 17 and the electric control box 18 are installed above the water tank 3.

[0040] A water baffle 27 is arranged between the diversion slope 4 and the water receiving trough 3. The water baffle 27 is arranged vertically. A one-way flow mechanism is arranged on the water baffle 27 to make the water flow from the diversion slope 4 to the water receiving trough 3 in one direction. The one-way flow mechanism includes a gravity ball 30. A water outlet 31 matching the gravity ball 30 is arranged on the water baffle 27. The water outlet 31 is close to the opening of the water receiving trough 3 and has a trumpet-shaped structure. The gravity ball 30 is placed at the opening end of the water outlet 31 close to the water receiving trough 3. The gravity ball 30 and the water baffle 27 are movably connected. A pull rope 32 is connected between the gravity ball 30 and the water baffle 27. The pull rope 32 limits the gravity ball 30 so that the gravity ball 30 is always placed at the opening position of the water outlet 31. The pull rope 32 passes through the water outlet 31 and is connected to the water baffle 27. The gravity ball 30 and the water retaining plate 27 are connected by a pull rope 32, so that the gravity ball 30 can move freely at the opening position of the water outlet 31 to prevent the gravity ball 30 from escaping from the water outlet 31. The diameter of the gravity ball 30 is larger than the diameter of the water outlet 31. The opening of the water outlet 31 is a trumpet-shaped structure. When the gravity ball 30 covers the water outlet 31, the gravity ball 30 has good adhesion with the side wall of the water outlet 31, ensuring the sealing performance.

[0041] The gravity ball 30 deviates downward from the water outlet 31 under the action of gravity, so that there is a gap between the gravity ball 30 and the inner wall of the water outlet 31, which facilitates the flow of water from the diversion slope 4 to the water receiving tank 3. When the dehumidifier shakes so that the side of the water receiving tank 3 is higher than the diversion slope 4, the gravity ball 30 covers the water outlet 31 under the action of gravity, preventing the water from flowing from the water receiving tank 3 to the diversion slope 4.

[0042] The evaporator 13 is installed in the evaporator installation area 2 on the bottom shell body 1, and the evaporator installation area 2 is provided with a guide slope 4. The condensed water formed by liquefaction on the surface of the evaporator 13 drips onto the guide slope 4, and the guide slope 4 is inclined from top to bottom toward the direction close to the water receiving tank 3, so the water flows along the guide slope 4 to the water receiving tank 3. The guide slope 4 is only used for guiding the water flow, not for water storage, so the distance between the guide slope 4 and the lower end of the evaporator 13 is small, and the evaporator installation area 2 and the water receiving tank 3 are staggered, so that the vertical space at the position of the evaporator 13 can be reduced.
