Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dehumidifiers, in particular to a dehumidifier with a top-mounted water collection device. Background Art
[0002] A dehumidifier is a device that relies on a heat exchanger to remove moisture from the air and maintain the relative humidity of the ambient air. After inhaling air from the environment, it condenses the moisture in the air into water and discharges the treated dry air into the environment to ensure that the ambient humidity is within a relatively comfortable range.
[0003] The existing water collection device of a dehumidifier is located at the bottom of the dehumidifier. When the water collection device is full and needs to be poured out, the user needs to squat down to remove the water collection device. There is no auxiliary carrying structure on the water collection device, so the process of lifting and pouring the water is complicated and inconvenient. This is especially inconvenient for pregnant women, the elderly, and other people who are not suitable for squatting.
[0004] The water produced by dehumidification will produce dirt, and a large amount of dirt will accumulate. The user must clean the water collection device every time he dumps the dehumidification water. If the dirt in the water collection device is not cleaned in time, a large amount of dehumidification water and dirt will exist together in the water collection device, which will easily cause a large number of bacteria to grow inside the water collection device, causing the dirt to produce odor. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a dehumidifier with a top-mounted water collection device to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a dehumidifier with a top-mounted water collection device, the dehumidifier comprising:
[0007] The water collection device has a drain port and a connector at the middle of the top of both ends, and a magnetic structure and a one-way valve at the bottom. The water collection device can be quickly removed or installed from the dehumidifier through the magnetic structure, and the one-way valve opens when the water impacts it.
[0008] The sedimentation device is provided with a water pumping port and a water inlet at the top, and a sewage outlet is provided at the middle position of the bottom on one side;
[0009] The pumping device has a first water pipe and a second water pipe at its input and output ends respectively.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the dehumidifier condenses the moisture in the air, and the condensed water is collected through a sedimentation device. The water generated by the condensation is precipitated and reduced in the sedimentation device, and then the water in the sedimentation device is pumped out through a pumping device and sent into the water collection device. After the water collection device is filled with water, the user only needs to pour out the water in the water collection device.
[0011] Preferably, the water collecting device is rotatably installed with a handle through the drain outlet and the connecting piece, an arc-shaped plate is installed at the bottom of one side of the handle, a baffle is installed in the middle position of one side of the water collecting device, a built-in turntable is rotatably installed inside the baffle, and a baffle is installed on one side of the top end inside the water collecting device.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the built-in turntable rotates inside the baffle, and holes are provided at one end of the baffle and the built-in turntable. When the built-in turntable rotates, the holes on the baffle can be sealed, thereby serving as a sealed water collection device.
[0013] Preferably, the first water pipe passes through the sedimentation device and extends into the interior of the sedimentation device, and the lowest end of the first water pipe is slightly higher than the lowest end of the interior of the sedimentation device.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the water in the sedimentation device is sucked out through the cooperation between the first water pipe, the second water pipe and the pumping device, so that the water in the sedimentation device is sucked into the water collection device through the pumping device. The water storage capacity of the top water collection device is greater than that of the sedimentation device. The operating frequency of the pumping device is set. When the sedimentation device is full of water, the pumping device works to transport the water in the sedimentation device to the top water collection device until the top water collection device is full of water. Such a water collection device can be sufficiently simple and beautiful, save materials, and reduce costs. In addition, the sedimentation device can precipitate impurities in the condensed water, and the drain outlet can be used to assist in the discharge of impurities.
[0015] Preferably, a connecting block is provided on the top of the built-in turntable, the size of the opening on the stopper is matched with the size of the connecting block, and the arc-shaped plate is connected to the connecting block.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle can drive the built-in turntable to rotate through the cooperation between the arc plate and the connecting block during the rotation process, so that the blocker and the built-in turntable can open or close the connection between the water outlet and the outside world, highlighting the role of the handle connecting part as both a handle and a water outlet. When the handle is pushed down, the water outlet is closed, and when the handle is pulled up, the water outlet is opened, and the water in the water collection device is directly discharged, and the water outlet on the water collection device is hidden, making the appearance of the machine more compact and beautiful.
[0017] Preferably, a connecting port is provided in the middle position of the bottom of the water collecting device, the size of the connecting port on the water collecting device is adapted to the size of the one-way valve, the water collecting device is connected to the one-way valve through the connecting port, and the output end of the second water pipe is connected to the one-way valve through the connecting port.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the second water pipe can be connected to the one-way valve, and the pumping device pumps out the condensed water in the sedimentation device, flushing the one-way valve and sending the condensed water into the water collection device, while the one-way valve can prevent the condensed water in the water collection device from leaking from the one-way valve.
[0019] Preferably, an adsorption component is installed on the outside of the bottom end of the water collecting device, and a magnetic metal is provided at the top inside the dehumidifier. The installation position of the magnetic metal on the dehumidifier corresponds to the installation position of the adsorption component on the water collecting device. A groove is provided at the bottom of the water collecting device, and a protrusion is provided in the middle position of the magnetic metal on the dehumidifier. The size of the groove on the water collecting device is adapted to the size of the protrusion.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the water collection device plays a limiting role through the cooperation between the groove and the protrusion on the magnetic metal, and the cooperation between the adsorption part and the magnetic metal further improves the stability of the connection between the water collection device and the dehumidifier. At the same time, the magnetic connection facilitates the removal and placement of the water collection device. It is easy to lift it away when the water is full and drain. When it is put back into the water collection device, it has a positioning effect, which is convenient for placement.
[0021] Preferably, the second water pipe is Z-shaped, hubs are rotatably mounted at the four top corners of the bottom of the dehumidifier, and there is a gap between the baffle and the water outlet.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, there is a gap between the sedimentation device and the first water pipe. If there is water generated by dehumidification in the sedimentation device, the dirt in the water generated by dehumidification will settle, and when the first water pipe is pumping water, the settled dirt will not be pumped into the pumping device along with the water, causing damage to the pumping device, and the pumping device can pump out the dehumidified water in the sedimentation device in time, avoiding the presence of a large amount of dehumidified water and dirt, and reducing the amount of bacteria breeding in the water collection device.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0024] The dehumidifier with a top-mounted water collection device allows users to use the dehumidifier through the coordination between the handle, the built-in turntable and the baffle. The water collection device is located on the top of the dehumidifier, which subverts the design of water collection devices in the dehumidifier industry, greatly facilitates user use, and is more conducive to use by groups such as pregnant women and the elderly who are not convenient to squat, greatly improving the user experience.
[0025] The dehumidifier with a top-mounted water collection device can transfer the dehumidified water in the sedimentation device into the water collection device in a timely manner through the cooperation between the first water pipe, the second water pipe and the pumping device. In cooperation with the sedimentation device, the dirt in the dehumidified water can be settled, reducing the amount of dehumidified water in the sedimentation device, thereby reducing the amount of bacteria breeding in the water collection device. At the same time, the user does not need to clean the water collection device every time the dehumidified water is dumped. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Through the cooperation between the first water pipe 12, the second water pipe 13 and the pumping device 11, the water in the sedimentation device 10 is sucked out, so that the water in the sedimentation device 10 is sucked into the water collection device 2 through the pumping device 11. The water storage capacity of the top water collection device 2 is greater than that of the sedimentation device 10. The working time interval of the pumping device 11 is set.

If the user needs to dump the dehumidified water, the user can use the cooperation between the handle 3, the built-in turntable 6 and the baffle 5. When the user carries the water collecting device 2, the rotation of the handle 3 can connect the drain pipe with the outside world, thereby facilitating the discharge of the dehumidified water in the water collecting device 2.
