[0002] A dehumidifier can also be called a moisture extractor, a dryer, or a dehumidifier. Generally, it can be divided into two categories: household dehumidifiers and industrial dehumidifiers. In daily life, electrical appliances and various valuables need to be stored in a dry space. If these devices or items are in a humid environment for a long time, they will be damaged or invalidated due to moisture absorption. In addition, bacteria are likely to breed in a humid environment, which may have a certain impact on people's lives. Therefore, a dehumidifier is needed to dehumidify the indoor environment.

[0003] Energy conservation has become an essential topic in various industries, and some environmentally friendly refrigerants are widely used in the field of dehumidifiers. However, currently, the electrical box of a traditional dehumidifier is generally arranged beside a heat exchanger or a compressor. However, due to the safety characteristics of the environmentally friendly refrigerants used, once the refrigerant leaks, it is easy to cause a fire with the electrical components in the nearby electrical box, posing a great safety hazard and affecting the user experience. In addition, the internal components of the current dehumidifier are relatively scattered and not integrated enough. For example, the electrical box often needs to be set separately, occupying a large amount of installation space. Summary of the Utility Model

[0026] This embodiment provides a dehumidifier that directly forms an avoidance space for accommodating electrical components on the partition outside the water tank, enabling the electrical components to be far away from refrigerant-related components such as heat exchangers and compressors, effectively avoiding safety problems such as sparking due to refrigerant leakage, ensuring the use safety, and effectively improving the user experience. Figure 1 FIG. Figure 1 is an overall structural schematic diagram of a dehumidifier 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is Figure 1 an overall structural schematic diagram of the dehumidifier 100 from another perspective in FIG. Figure 1 . Figure 3 FIG. Figure 3 is an internal structural schematic diagram of the dehumidifier 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 FIG. Figure 4 is a structural schematic diagram of a partition 124 of the dehumidifier 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 FIG. Figure 5 is a structural schematic diagram of a cover 126 of the dehumidifier 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figures 1 to 5 shown, the dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment generally may include: a housing 110, a heat exchanger 120, a water tank 123, and a partition 124.

[0027] Among them, a cavity may be defined inside the housing 110. The heat exchanger 120 may be disposed in the cavity and configured to condense the moisture in the air entering the cavity into condensed water. The water tank 123 may be removably disposed in the cavity and configured to accommodate the condensed water. That is to say, after the heat exchanger 120 condenses the moisture in the air into condensed water, the condensed water can finally flow into the water tank 123. By discharging the condensed water in the water tank 123 outside the dehumidifier 100, the purpose of reducing the air humidity can be achieved. The water tank 123 being removably disposed in the cavity means that the user can conveniently take out or put the water tank 123 from the cavity. Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the water tank 123 can be drawn out or put in from the lower part at the rear of the dehumidifier 100.

[0028] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the partition 124 may cover the outside of the water tank 123, and a front portion of the partition 124 may be recessed backward to form an avoidance space 125 for accommodating electrical components. In a specific embodiment, the electrical components may include: a computer board. In addition, the electrical components may also include some other electrical control devices, such as general capacitors, various cable wires, etc. Through the electrical components such as the computer board disposed in the avoidance space 125, the dehumidifier 100 can be controlled.

[0029] Figure 6 FIG. Figure 6 is an internal structural schematic diagram of a dehumidifier in the prior art. It should be noted that, Figure 6The partition plate 211 and the electrical box 212 of the dehumidifier in the prior art are different from the dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment, but the arrangement of other components can be the same or similar. Figure 6 As shown, the components of the dehumidifier in the prior art are relatively scattered and not integrated enough. Figure 6 The electrical appliance box 212 of the dehumidifier in the prior art is protrudingly arranged on the front left side of the partition 211. The electrical appliance box 212 is arranged separately and needs to occupy more installation space.

[0030] In addition, if Figure 6 As shown, the electrical box of the conventional dehumidifier is generally arranged next to the heat exchanger or the compressor 129. Specifically, Figure 6 The electrical cabinet box shown is arranged on the front side of the heat exchanger and on the left side of the compressor 129. The electrical cabinet box is arranged close to the heat exchanger and the compressor 129, and is very susceptible to refrigerant leakage. With the advent of the carbon neutrality era, energy conservation has become an indispensable subject in various industries. Some environmentally friendly refrigerants are widely used in the field of dehumidifiers, such as R32 or R290 and other environmentally friendly refrigerants. However, since the environmentally friendly refrigerants used often have certain safety characteristics, once the dehumidifier in the prior art leaks refrigerant, it is easy to ignite with electrical components in the nearby electrical cabinet, posing a large safety hazard and affecting the user experience.

[0031] The dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment can effectively solve the above problems. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the front part of the partition 124 of the dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment is recessed backward to form an escape space 125 to accommodate the electrical components, so that the electrical components are all located below the heat exchanger and have no contact with the heat exchanger. In addition, the electrical components and the compressor 129 are also separated by the thicker side walls of the escape space 125, and there is no cover gap or box gap between the electrical components and the compressor 129, that is, the electrical components and the compressor 129 will not contact each other through any gap.

[0032] In summary, the dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment forms an avoidance space 125 for accommodating electrical components directly on the partition 124 outside the water tank 123, enabling the electrical components to be away from refrigerant-related components such as heat exchangers and the compressor 129, effectively avoiding safety problems such as sparking caused by refrigerant leakage, ensuring safe use, and effectively improving the user experience. Compared with the partition 211 and the electrical appliance box 212 of the dehumidifier in the prior art, which are separately arranged, more space is occupied. The dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment directly forms the avoidance space 125 on the partition 124 to accommodate electrical components, integrating the traditional partition 211 and the electrical appliance box 212, effectively optimizing the overall structure of the dehumidifier 100, improving the degree of integration, and making the distribution of various components inside the dehumidifier 100 more reasonable, compact, and refined.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the avoidance space 125 is located on the left or right side of the front part of the partition 124. Figure 4 The shown avoidance space 125 is located on the left side of the front part of the partition 124. In some other embodiments, the avoidance space 125 can also be located on the right side of the front part of the partition 124. The reason for leaving the middle position of the front part of the partition 124 is to set up the compressor compartment 128 for accommodating the compressor 129, and such a setting method is more reasonable.

[0034] Moreover, the avoidance space 125 can be close to the water tank 123 to utilize the cold quantity of the condensed water inside the water tank 123 to dissipate heat from the electrical components. That is to say, the rear wall of the avoidance space 125 does not directly contact the water tank 123 and has a certain distance, which can ensure that there is a certain assembly gap between the water tank 123 and the rear wall of the avoidance space 125, so as not to cause the water tank 123 to be pulled too tightly, making the process of taking and placing the water tank 123 smoother. However, it is necessary to ensure that the avoidance space 125 is relatively close to the water tank 123 and not too far apart. In this way, the cold quantity of the condensed water inside the water tank 123 can be used to dissipate heat from the electrical components inside the avoidance space 125, ensuring electrical safety while extending the service life of the electrical components.

[0035] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the dehumidifier 100 may further include: a cover 126, covering the avoidance space 125 to enclose the avoidance space 125 and isolate the electrical components inside the avoidance space 125 from the outside. In a specific embodiment, the cover 126 can be snap-connected or screwed to the avoidance space 125, so that when the electrical components inside the avoidance space 125 malfunction, the cover 126 can be conveniently removed to repair the internal electrical components. The setting of the cover 126 enables the electrical components inside the avoidance space 125 to be completely separated from the outside and not affected by anything outside, especially not affected by external refrigerant leakage.

[0036] As mentioned above, the electrical component may include a computer board. In a specific embodiment, the computer board may be disposed on the peripheral wall of the avoidance space 125. In a preferred embodiment, the peripheral wall of the avoidance space 125 may be provided with strip-shaped ribs or screw posts with a preset height, so that there is a certain interval between the computer board and the peripheral wall. In order to improve the internal integration of the dehumidifier 100 in this embodiment, as mentioned above, the rear wall of the avoidance space 125 does not directly contact the water tank 123 but is relatively close to the water tank 123, and the cold quantity of the condensed water inside the water tank 123 can be used to dissipate heat from the electrical components inside the avoidance space 125.

[0037] However, since the avoidance space 125 is relatively close to the indoor heat exchanger, the low temperature of the condensed water in the water tank 123 is transmitted into the avoidance space 125, which may also cause condensation inside the avoidance space 125, and then easily lead to short circuit and fire of the internal computer board, posing a great safety hazard and affecting the user experience. In the dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment, by providing strip-shaped ribs or screw posts with a preset height on the peripheral wall of the avoidance space 125, there is a certain interval between the computer board and the peripheral wall, and the computer board does not directly contact the peripheral wall of the avoidance space 125, effectively avoiding the short circuit and fire of the computer board caused by condensation, ensuring the use safety, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0038] As mentioned above, there is a certain assembly gap between the water tank 123 and the rear wall of the avoidance space 125, which can be limited by the forming structure of the partition plate 124. Moreover, the structure including the avoidance space 125 can enable the partition plate 124 to have multiple support surfaces, effectively improving the support strength. Specifically, the material of the partition plate 124 may be ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) or HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene). In a preferred embodiment, the partition plate 124 may be integrally injection-molded by gas-assisted molding technology. Gas Assisted Injection Molding (GAIM) technology, abbreviated as gas-assisted molding technology, as a new type of injection molding processing technology, can use high-pressure inert gas to push the melt to fill the cavity, and through gas pressure holding, a hollow cross-section is formed inside the thick-walled plastic part, which is very suitable for plastic parts such as the partition plate 124 in this embodiment with uneven wall thickness that cannot be injection-molded conventionally at one time.

[0039] Gas-assisted molding technology can solve the shortcomings of traditional injection molding and structural foam molding. By using high-pressure nitrogen, the thick wall of the injection molded part can be hollowed out to form a hollow section inside the plastic part. By maintaining the pressure of the gas, the melt filling is promoted and the shrinkage marks on the surface of the part are eliminated. The shortcomings of the surface of the structural foam part that cannot meet the requirements of spraying are avoided. While significantly reducing costs, good product quality can also be guaranteed. In short, the partition 124 of this embodiment can be injection molded once using gas-assisted molding technology, without the need for subsequent secondary processing, with low cost and high efficiency.

[0040] As mentioned earlier, Figure 6 The partition plate 211 and the electrical box 212 of the dehumidifier in the prior art are different from the dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment, but the arrangement of other components can be the same or similar. Figure 4 The separator 124 of this embodiment replaces Figure 6 The partition 211 and the electrical box 212 in the embodiment are the same, and the arrangement structure and position of other components can remain unchanged, that is, the overall structure of the dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment. Figure 6 Components other than the partition 211 and the electrical cabinet box 212, such as the compressor 129, the heat exchanger, etc., can be regarded as components of the dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment.

[0041] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the heat exchanger 120 may be located above the partition 124, and a water receiving pan 127 is formed on the top of the partition 124 to receive the condensed water generated by the heat exchanger 120. The water receiving pan 127 may be provided with a drain port, and the top of the water tank 123 is provided with a water inlet opposite to the drain port, so that the condensed water flows from the water receiving pan 127 into the water tank 123.

[0042] Specifically, the water tank 123 may include a main body and a cover body, and condensed water may be contained inside the main body. The cover body is provided on the main body to seal the inside of the main body. In addition, a handle may be provided on the cover body, and after the user pulls out the water tank 123, the user may directly carry the handle on the cover body to the bathroom or other places to pour out the condensed water inside the water tank 123. The provision of the handle greatly improves the convenience of the user in discharging condensed water. It should be noted that the cover body can be tightly locked on the main body to prevent the cover body from opening when the user pulls the handle. In a specific embodiment, a discharge port may be provided on the right side of the water receiving tray 127 at the top of the partition 124, and correspondingly, a water inlet may be provided on the right side of the cover body of the water tank 123.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a press chamber 128 is formed by a middle part in front of the partition plate 124 being recessed backward, and the dehumidifier 100 further includes: a compressor 129 disposed at the press chamber 128. The compressor 129 can pressurize and heat up the refrigerant so that it can be converted from a gaseous state to a liquid state under high pressure and high temperature. In a specific embodiment, the heat exchanger 120 may include: an evaporator 121 and a condenser 122. The evaporator 121 and the condenser 122 are core components of the dehumidifier 100 and important factors for the dehumidifier 100 to achieve dehumidification. The evaporator 121 mainly plays a role in absorbing moisture and can also be called a "water extractor". The evaporator 121 absorbs moisture in the air at a low temperature, converts it into water vapor, and then transfers the water vapor to the condenser 122, while the condenser 122 can condense the water vapor into condensed water.

[0044] The evaporator 121 is located outside the condenser 122. The air entering the interior of the housing 110 of the dehumidifier 100 flows through the evaporator 121 and the heat exchanger in sequence. After the moisture in the air entering the cavity condenses into condensed water, the air with reduced humidity is discharged from the dehumidifier 100. By repeating this cycle, the purpose of indoor dehumidification can be achieved. In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, both the evaporator 121 and the condenser 122 can be U-shaped finned tube heat exchangers with openings facing forward. More specifically, the evaporator 121 can adopt a U-shaped conventional hydrophilic slit finned tube heat exchanger, and the condenser 122 can adopt a U-shaped conventional slit finned tube heat exchanger. However, both the evaporator 121 and the condenser 122 are not limited to forms such as straight row, V-shaped or L-shaped.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the housing 110 may include: a top cover 111 and a three-panel 112, and air inlets 116 are provided on the left, right and rear sides of the three-panel 112 for external air to enter the cavity. Corresponding to the air inlets 116 on the three sides of the three-panel 112, filter screens 133 can be provided to preliminarily filter the air entering the cavity, improve the cleanliness of the air flow process, and also improve the air quality of the indoor environment.

[0046] The top cover 111 is provided with an air outlet 117 for the air passing through the heat exchanger 120 to be discharged. That is to say, external air can enter the cavity through the air inlets 116 of the three-panel 112, and then the moisture in the air is condensed into condensed water through the heat exchanger 120, and the air with reduced humidity is discharged from the dehumidifier 100 through the air outlet 117 of the top cover 111. The entire path inside the cavity from the air inlet 116 to the air outlet 117 where the air flows out of the dehumidifier 100 can be called the air duct.

[0047] More specifically, the cabinet 110 may further include: a front panel 113, a left side panel 114, a right side panel 115, and a bottom plate 118. Among them, a power connector 134 may be provided on the front panel 113 to supply power to the dehumidifier 100. And, the power connector 134 is located at the front of the dehumidifier 100, far from the water tank 123 at the rear of the dehumidifier 100, avoiding the influence of possible splashing of condensed water when the water tank 123 is pulled out, and ensuring the use safety. The left side panel 114 may be located below the left side of the three-panel 112, and the right side panel 115 may be located below the right side of the three-panel 112. The left side panel 114 and the right side panel 115 respectively play a role in shielding the left side and the right side of the partition 124. The bottom plate 118 is located at the bottom of the entire dehumidifier 100, and pulleys 119 may be provided at the four corners of the bottom plate 118, so that it is convenient for users to move the dehumidifier 100 and move the dehumidifier 100 to different indoor environments or different positions in the indoor environment for dehumidification.

[0048] The cabinet 110 of the dehumidifier 100 in this embodiment is set as multiple separable parts, which is not only convenient for assembly but also for maintenance. Specifically, when a certain component inside the dehumidifier 100 fails, the corresponding adjacent part of the cabinet 110 can be removed for maintenance without removing the entire cabinet 110. For example, when the compressor 129 fails, only the front panel 113 can be removed to expose the compressor 129 and perform maintenance on it.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the dehumidifier 100 may further include: a bracket 131, a motor, and a fan 132. Among them, the bracket 131 is provided below the top cover 111. The motor is fixed on the bracket 131 and configured to drive the fan 132 to rotate. The fan 132 is configured to promote the inflow of external air into the cavity. Through the action of the fan 132, the external air can smoothly flow into the cavity through the air inlet 116, and after passing through the heat exchanger, it is discharged through the air outlet 117. The fan 132 helps to promote the air circulation and effectively improve the dehumidification efficiency.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the type of the fan 132 of the dehumidifier 100 may be a DC fan. The DC fan can provide a large air volume and has a low noise. The characteristics of the DC fan such as large air volume, low noise, and long life can not only ensure the efficient operation of the dehumidifier 100, but also maintain a low noise level, providing a comfortable use environment for users and improving the user experience.

[0051] In addition, the dehumidifier 100 may further include: a throttling device capable of reducing the pressure and temperature of the cooled liquid refrigerant in the condenser 122, converting it from a liquid state to a vapor-liquid mixed state of low pressure and low temperature. In a specific embodiment, the throttling device may be an expansion valve or a capillary tube. In addition to the functions mentioned above, the condenser 122 is a heat dissipation device in the dehumidifier 100, which dissipates heat from the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant in the compressor 129, converting it from a gaseous state to a liquid state. The evaporator 121 is a heat absorption device in the dehumidifier 100, which absorbs heat from the air, converting the refrigerant from a liquid state to a gaseous state, thereby absorbing moisture in the air.

[0052] Generally, the internal circulation of the dehumidifier 100 may include: through the operation of the compressor 129, discharging high-temperature and high-pressure gas from the exhaust port, entering the condenser 122 for cooling, becoming low-temperature and high-pressure gas, throttling through the throttling device, filtering through the filter, becoming low-temperature and low-pressure liquid, evaporating and absorbing heat through the evaporator 121, and returning to the compressor 129 to become low-temperature and low-pressure gas, and so on in a cycle. The external circulation of the dehumidifier 100 may include: through the operation of the fan 132, sucking in humid air from the air inlet 116, condensing the water vapor in the air into water and adsorbing it on the aluminum sheet through the evaporator 121, turning the humid air into dry air, heating and dissipating heat through the condenser 122, and blowing out dry gas from the air outlet 117, and so on in a cycle to reduce the indoor humidity.

[0053] The dehumidifier 100 may further include: a temperature and humidity sensor for detecting the humidity and temperature of the indoor environment where the dehumidifier 100 is located. The humidity and temperature detected by the temperature and humidity sensor can accurately adjust the working state of the dehumidifier 100. For example, when the detected humidity is higher than the preset humidity, it can be considered that the indoor environment is too humid, affecting the comfort and physical health of the user. The dehumidifier 100 can be controlled to start dehumidifying to reduce the humidity of the indoor environment, improve the comfort of the user, and ensure the physical health of the user.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the dehumidifier 100 may further include a display panel for displaying relevant information of the dehumidifier 100, such as the operation mode, set humidity, etc. After receiving the start trigger signal, the dehumidifier 100 can start working for dehumidifying. In a preferred embodiment, the start trigger signal can be received from the display device, voice device, remote control of the dehumidifier 100, or a mobile terminal bound to the dehumidifier 100. The mobile terminal can be a portable intelligent device, such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.

[0055] In summary, the dehumidifier 100 of this embodiment includes: a housing 110, which defines a cavity inside; a heat exchanger 120, disposed in the cavity and configured to condense the moisture in the air entering the cavity into condensed water; a water tank 123, removably disposed in the cavity and configured to hold the condensed water; a partition 124, covering the outside of the water tank 123, and a recessed space 125 is formed by the front part of the partition 124 recessing backward to accommodate electrical components. Forming the recessed space 125 for accommodating electrical components directly on the partition 124 outside the water tank 123 can enable the electrical components to be away from refrigerant-related components, such as the heat exchanger and the compressor 129, effectively avoiding safety problems such as sparking due to refrigerant leakage, ensuring the use safety, and effectively improving the user experience.
