Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0002] This application belongs to the technical field of dehumidifiers, and particularly relates to a dehumidifier with a water level reminder function.
Background Art
[0004] In the current household appliance market, as a device for adjusting indoor humidity, dehumidifiers have been widely used in household and commercial environments. However, existing dehumidifiers generally have a common defect, that is, the monitoring method of the water level in the water collection tank. Traditional dehumidifiers usually determine whether the water level reaches the level where water needs to be drained by observing the scale line on the water collection tank. Although this method is intuitive, there are many inconveniences in actual use. First, observing the scale line often requires the user to approach the device, which is particularly inconvenient in an environment with a narrow space or insufficient light. Second, over time, scale is likely to accumulate at the scale line, which not only affects the accurate observation of the water level but may also damage the performance of the device. Even worse, it is easy for users to forget to regularly check the water level during their busy lives, which may cause the water collection tank to overflow, bringing additional cleaning burdens and potential losses to users.

Specific Embodiments
[0026] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer and more understandable, the following further details this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not used to limit this application.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , a dehumidifier with a water level reminder function, including a dehumidifier housing 1, a dehumidifying device 2 provided in the dehumidifier housing 1, a water collection tank 3 provided in the dehumidifier housing 1 and below the dehumidifying device 2, a Hall induction device 4 provided on the top of the water collection tank 3 and used to sense whether the water level in the water collection tank 3 reaches a predetermined height, and a warning device electrically connected to the Hall induction device 4.
[0028] A dehumidifier with a water level reminder function in this application realizes precise monitoring of the water level in the water collection tank by integrating a dehumidifying device, a water collection tank and a Hall induction device in the dehumidifier housing. The Hall induction device is located on the top of the water collection tank and can sensitively sense whether the water level reaches a predetermined height, thereby triggering the warning device electrically connected to this device to emit a prompt signal. This design effectively solves the problems existing in the traditional observation method of scale lines, such as inconvenient observation, being easily affected by water scale, and possible forgetting to observe.
[0029] Further, as a preferred implementation manner rather than a limitation of this solution, the Hall induction device 4 includes a limit housing 41 connected to the water collection tank 3, a floating ball 42 movably provided in the limit housing 41, a magnet 43 provided on the floating ball 42, a Hall switch 44 provided above the limit housing 41 and used to sense the magnet 43, and an opening 45 is provided on the limit housing 41 to communicate the water collection tank 3 and the interior of the limit housing 41.
[0030] In this embodiment, a floating ball 42 connected to the limiting housing 41 is arranged on the top of the water collecting tank 3. By utilizing the floating characteristics of the floating ball, when the water level rises, the floating ball floats upward. When the floating ball reaches a predetermined height, which is the height when the water level in the water collecting tank is full, the magnet 43 on the floating ball interacts with the Hall switch 44 above the limiting housing, realizing non-contact water level detection and enhancing the durability and reliability of the device. When the Hall switch senses the signal change of the magnet, it triggers the warning device to give a reminder, effectively avoiding the risk of water overflow caused by the user's forgetting or inconvenient observation. The warning device can be set as a buzzer for sound reminder or set as a lighting module for visual reminder, or a combination of the buzzer and the lighting module.
[0031] Further, as a preferred implementation manner of this solution rather than a limitation, a water collecting trough 21 is provided between the dehumidifying device 2 and the water collecting tank 3, and a water inlet 31 corresponding to the end of the water collecting trough 21 is opened at the top of the water collecting tank 3.
[0032] In this embodiment, the design of the water collecting trough enables the condensed water generated by the dehumidifying device to be smoothly collected and guided to the water collecting tank, avoiding the condensed water from dripping or accumulating everywhere inside the dehumidifier, thus ensuring the normal operation of the dehumidifier and the dryness of its internal structure. The corresponding setting of the water inlet 31 and the end of the water collecting trough 21 enables the condensed water to accurately enter the water collecting tank, reducing the possibility of water droplets splashing out or overflowing. This precise water path design not only improves the water collection efficiency of the dehumidifier but also helps to keep the surrounding environment of the dehumidifier clean.
[0033] Further, as a preferred implementation manner of this solution rather than a limitation, a recessed portion 32 is provided around the water inlet 31 at the top of the water collecting tank 3.
[0034] In this embodiment, the recessed portion 32 can effectively guide and converge the condensed water flowing in from the water collecting trough 21, enabling it to enter the water collecting tank more smoothly and reducing the risk of water droplets splashing or overflowing. Secondly, the recessed portion 32 also plays a role of buffering and energy dissipation, which can reduce the noise generated when water droplets fall onto the top of the water collecting tank and improve the user's comfort. This design also embodies a clever anti-splash concept. By setting a recessed structure around the water inlet, a "water curtain" effect can be formed to intercept the possibly splashed water droplets and redirect them into the water collecting tank, thereby further improving the efficiency and reliability of condensed water collection.
[0035] Further, as a preferred implementation manner of this solution rather than a limitation, a clamping member 46 is provided on the limiting housing 41, and a clamping interface 33 for the clamping member 46 to be clamped is provided on the water collecting tank 3.
[0036] In this embodiment, the connection method between the Hall induction device 4 and the water collection tank 3 is simplified, making the installation process more convenient and rapid. The cooperation of the clamping member 46 and the clamping interface 33 provides a mechanism for quick assembly and disassembly without tools, greatly reducing the difficulty of installation and maintenance.
[0037] Further, as a preferred implementation manner of this solution rather than a limitation, a plurality of the openings 45 are respectively arranged at the bottoms of the respective sides of the limiting housing 41.
[0038] In this embodiment, the arrangement of a plurality of openings increases the communication area between the limiting housing and the water collection tank, enabling the water level change in the water collection tank to be transmitted to the limiting housing more rapidly, improving the response speed and accuracy of water level monitoring. Secondly, the plurality of openings are distributed on different sides of the limiting housing, making the movement of the floating ball in the limiting housing more free and balanced, avoiding the phenomenon of the floating ball getting stuck or offset due to a single-sided opening.
[0039] Further, as a preferred implementation manner of this solution rather than a limitation, the dehumidifying device 2 includes a wind cavity housing 22, a blower 23 arranged on the front side of the wind cavity housing 22, a semiconductor refrigeration sheet 24 arranged on the rear side of the wind cavity housing 22, a first aluminum sheet 25 arranged on the outer side of the wind cavity housing 22 and attached to the cold surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 24, and a second aluminum sheet 26 arranged on the inner side of the wind cavity housing 22 and attached to the hot surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 24, and an air outlet 27 is arranged on the side surface of the wind cavity housing 22.
[0040] In this embodiment, by integrating the blower 23 and the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 24 in the wind cavity housing 22, the efficient operation of the dehumidifying function is achieved. The blower 23 can suck in air and make it flow through the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 24. The cold surface of the refrigeration sheet is attached to the first aluminum sheet 25, and the hot surface is attached to the second aluminum sheet 26. This structural design makes full use of the refrigeration effect of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet.
[0041] When the air flows through the cold surface, the water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets and collects in the water collection tank 21, thus achieving the dehumidifying effect. The heat generated by the semiconductor refrigeration sheet is transferred to the second aluminum sheet 26 through the hot surface and discharged from the air outlet 27 on the side surface of the wind cavity housing, avoiding the accumulation of heat inside the dehumidifier and improving the dehumidifying efficiency.
[0042] Further, as a preferred implementation manner of this solution rather than a limitation, an air inlet 11 corresponding to the first aluminum sheet 25 is opened on the dehumidifier housing 1.
[0043] In this embodiment, by corresponding the air inlet to the first aluminum sheet 25, the incoming air can directly contact the cold surface of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet, thereby increasing the contact area between the air and the cold surface and the heat transfer efficiency, and enhancing the dehumidifying effect.
[0044] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0045] A dehumidifier with a water level reminder function in this application integrates a dehumidification device, a water collection tank, and a Hall induction device in the dehumidifier housing, achieving precise monitoring of the water level in the water collection tank. The Hall induction device is located at the top of the water collection tank and can sensitively sense whether the water level reaches a predetermined height, thereby triggering a warning device electrically connected to the device to emit a prompt signal. This design effectively solves the problems existing in the traditional observation method of scale lines, such as inconvenient observation, being easily affected by water scale, and possible forgetting to observe.
[0046] The above are the implementation manners provided in combination with specific contents, and it is not determined that the specific implementation of this application is only limited to these descriptions. Any structure similar to the method of this application, or several technical deductions or replacements made on the premise of the concept of this application, should be regarded as the protection scope of this application.
