Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of dehumidifiers, and particularly to a water storage device for a dehumidifier. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the Chinese utility model with the publication number CN219014494U discloses a water storage device for a dehumidifier, which includes a dehumidifier body. A water tank is fixedly connected inside the dehumidifier body, and a warning lamp is fixedly connected to the right side of the dehumidifier body. An alarm mechanism is arranged inside the water tank, a water pipe is fixedly connected to the right side of the water tank, a sealing mechanism is arranged on the right side of the dehumidifier body, and a trigger switch is arranged inside the alarm mechanism. By providing the sealing mechanism, only need to shake the handwheel, so that the handwheel can drive the threaded rod to rotate. Since the threaded rod and the connecting block are in threaded connection, under the limiting action of the limiting rod, the rotational motion of the threaded rod can be converted into the linear motion of the connecting block, so that the connecting block can drive the sealing sleeve to be pulled out from the outer wall of the water pipe, and at the same time, the sealing plug can also be pulled out from the inside of the water pipe, so that the water source inside the water tank can be discharged in time, thus eliminating the need for manual disassembly and drainage of the water tank, facilitating the operation and use by the staff, and thus enhancing the practicability of the device to a certain extent.

[0003] The existing water storage device is not convenient for cleaning the water tank. After long-term use of the water tank, a large amount of stains will adhere to the inner wall of the water tank, and it needs to be cleaned regularly. Generally, when cleaning it, the water tank is disassembled from the dehumidifier for cleaning, and after cleaning, it is reinstalled. The whole cleaning process is rather cumbersome, increasing the workload and reducing the cleaning efficiency. It is also not convenient for replacing the sensor. Generally, in order to prevent the water tank from being overfilled and causing water to overflow from the water tank, a water level sensor is installed in the water tank. When the water level sensor is damaged, it needs to be replaced. Generally, the water level sensor is fixedly installed by threads, and when replacing it, tools are needed for disassembly and assembly. The disassembly and assembly process is rather cumbersome, increasing the workload and reducing the replacement efficiency. In order to solve the above problems, we propose a water storage device for a dehumidifier. Summary of the Utility Model
