Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dehumidifiers, in particular to a dehumidifier which is easy to maintain. Background Art

[0002] In the industrial production process, some materials need to be processed in a dry environment. If the humidity in the workshop is too high, it will affect the product quality. Usually, a dehumidifier is installed in the workshop.

The device draws hot and humid air from the outside into the chassis through the air intake hood, and the diversion of the hot and humid air by the diverter pipe causes the air to be evenly sprayed toward the heat exchanger, allowing the water in the air to condense evenly. A filter screen is provided on the top of the air intake hood, which is limited by a limit rod. This screen filters dust from the air to prevent dust from falling on condensed water droplets, which can cause bacteria to grow inside the chassis, thereby improving the hygiene of the dehumidifier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See also Figure 1-5The utility model provides a dehumidifier which is easy to maintain, comprising a body 1, a shunt pipe 2, a heat exchanger 3 and a fan 4. An air outlet 5 is provided on the side of the body 1, a top cover 6 is fixed on the top of the body 1 by screws, an air pump 7 is installed on one side of the shunt pipe 2 through a metal pipe, an air intake cover 8 is installed on the input end of the air pump 7, a first through hole 9 is provided on the surface of the top cover 6, the air intake cover 8 is arranged in the first through hole 9, a bracket 10 is provided inside the body 1, and a motor 11 is installed on the bracket 10. The fan 4 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the motor 11. A second through hole 12 is provided on the surface of the body 1. The bracket 10 is aligned with the second through hole 12. A conical portion 13 is provided at the bottom of the body 1. A drainage groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the conical portion 13. A water tank 15 is installed below the body 1. The water tank 15 is provided directly below the drainage groove 14. The heat exchanger 3, the bracket 10 and the diverter pipe 2 are all movably arranged inside the body 1 through a connecting mechanism. A locking mechanism is provided between the top cover 6 and the connecting mechanism.

[0027] See also Figure 1 and 2 The air pump 7 draws air from the outside through the air intake hood 8. The air enters the diversion pipe 2 and then enters the heat exchanger 3 for dehumidification. The motor 11 drives the fan 4 to rotate. The fan 4 can conduct heat. The dehumidified air can be discharged to the outside through the air outlet 5. The condensed water generated when the heat exchanger 3 is working will fall to the conical part 13 under the action of gravity, and finally be discharged into the water tank 15 through the drainage groove 14.

[0028] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the heat exchanger 3, the bracket 10 and the diverter pipe 2 are referred to as three independent units for the convenience of description. When one or more of the units need to be repaired, the unit can be directly removed from the interior of the body 1 through the locking mechanism and the connecting mechanism by removing the top cover 6. For units that do not require maintenance, it is necessary to control the locking mechanism to release the connection between the connecting mechanism and the top cover 6.

[0029] The connecting mechanism includes a connecting arm 16, a limit seat 17, a connecting seat 18, a slide 19 and a track 20. The limit seat 17 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the body 1, and the slide 19 is arranged on the surface of the connecting seat 18. One end of the connecting arm 16 is fixed to the side of the bracket 10, the heat exchanger 3 and the diverter pipe 2, and the other end of the connecting arm 16 is fixed to the surface of the connecting seat 18. The track 20 is vertically fixed to the top of the limit seat 17. The connecting seat 18 is slidably arranged on the surface of the track 20 through the slide 19. A groove 25 is provided on the side of the track 20, and a roller 26 is rotatably arranged inside the groove 25. The side of the roller 26 abuts against the inner wall of the slide 19.

[0030] See also Figure 3In this embodiment, taking the connecting mechanism on the bracket 10 as an example, the connecting seat 18 can be driven to move synchronously by pulling the top cover 6. When moving up, the connecting seat 18 can move synchronously on the surface of the track 20, and at this time, the connecting seat 18 can pull the bracket 10 up synchronously through the connecting arm 16. During this process, the slide groove 19 on the surface of the connecting seat 18 can generate friction with the roller 26, so that the roller 26 rotates on the inner wall of the groove 25, thereby reducing the friction between the connecting seat 18 and the track 20, so as to facilitate the removal of the bracket 10. After installing the motor 11 and fan blades after maintenance, it is only necessary to directly place the bracket 10 into the body 1 until the bottom of the connecting seat 18 contacts the top of the limit seat 17.

[0031] The locking mechanism includes a rotating shaft 21, a protruding block 22, a receiving groove 23 and a lifting block 24. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatably set on the surface of the top cover 6, the protruding block 22 is fixedly set on the side above the rotating shaft 21, the lifting block 24 is fixedly set at the end of the rotating shaft 21, the receiving groove 23 is set on the surface of the connecting seat 18, and the lifting block 24 is engaged with the inside of the receiving groove 23.

[0032] See also Figure 4 When the lifting block 24 is located inside the accommodating groove 23, the staff can drive the lifting block 24 to move synchronously through the rotating shaft 21 when pulling the top cover 6, and the lifting block 24 can pull the connecting seat 18 to move synchronously through the accommodating groove 23. When the protruding block 22 is rotated, the rotating shaft 21 is driven to rotate through the protruding block 22, and the rotating shaft 21 can drive the lifting block 24 to disengage from the inside of the accommodating groove 23 when rotating. At this time, when the cover is pulled again, the connecting seat 18 cannot be pulled synchronously through the lifting block 24 and the accommodating groove 23. Therefore, the connection between the top cover 6 and the connecting seat 18 is achieved through the locking mechanism, so that different units can be disassembled as needed.

[0033] A walking wheel 27 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 15. The water tank 15 is fixedly set below the drain groove 14 through an installation mechanism. The installation mechanism includes a side panel 28, a guide groove 29 and a guide protrusion 30. The guide protrusion 30 is fixedly set on the side of the water tank 15. The guide groove 29 is set on the surface of the side panel 28. The side panel 28 is fixed to the bottom of the body 1, and the guide protrusion 30 is slidably set in the guide groove 29.

[0034] See also Figure 5The condensed water generated when the heat exchanger 3 is working will fall to the conical part 13 under the action of gravity, and will eventually be discharged into the water tank 15 through the drainage groove 14. When the water level inside the water tank 15 is high, the walking wheel 27 can drive the water tank 15 to move horizontally on the ground by pulling the water tank 15 horizontally, and at this time the water tank 15 can drive the guide protrusion 30 to slide inside the guide groove 29. When the guide protrusion 30 is detached from the inside of the guide groove 29, the staff can move the water tank 15 to clean the accumulated water inside.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
