Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of dehumidifiers, in particular to a dehumidifier with a level detection function. Background Art

[0002] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN108204664B discloses a dehumidifier drain pan and a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier uses a heat exchanger to exchange heat with incoming air, condensing moisture from the air to produce condensed water, which is then collected in the drain pan. However, if the dehumidifier is located unevenly, the condensed water in the drain pan can overflow into the dehumidifier, causing leakage. While the above solution addresses this issue through the design of a drain pan, its design is relatively complex and does not meet the requirements of most dehumidifiers. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims at the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a dehumidifier with a level detection function.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is solved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] Preferably, a mounting opening is provided on the top plate, and the bracket is installed in the mounting opening. The bracket includes a lower frame body and a limiting rib on the top; the frame body is inserted into the mounting opening, and the rib is attached to the end surface of the top plate around the mounting opening. A mounting area is formed in the middle of the frame body, and the horizontal bead is installed in the mounting area and limited by the frame body.

[0007] Preferably, the edge of the mounting opening has a first limiting edge in the shape of a straight line and a second limiting edge in the shape of an arc. The outer ring shape of the bracket cross section is adapted to the shape of the mounting opening, and the first limiting edge and the second limiting edge limit the rotation of the bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the second limiting edge is in an incomplete circular shape.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting block extends inward from the edge of the installation opening, and the frame includes a plurality of limiting ribs arranged along the circumferential direction. In the assembled state, the limiting block is located in the gap between the two limiting ribs.

[0010] Preferably, the frame includes a plurality of limiting ribs arranged along the circumferential direction, the limiting ribs forming a positioning surface, and the positioning surface matches the first limiting edge.

[0011] Preferably, the frame includes a plurality of limiting ribs arranged along the circumferential direction, and elastic claws are provided on the outer sides of the limiting ribs, and the outer diameter of the elastic claws is larger than the inner diameter of the installation opening.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic claws are connected between adjacent limiting ribs, and the number of the elastic claws is at least two.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the frame is a support plate, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the support plate.

[0014] This solution offers the following advantages over existing technologies: By observing the position of the leveling bead on the dehumidifier's leveling device, the height of the footing can be adjusted to achieve dehumidifier leveling. This prevents condensed water from overflowing the drain pan due to uneven heights and also prevents dehumidifiers from tilting when stacked. The elastic clips save labor compared to existing designs that use screws and sheet metal. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] A dehumidifier with a level detection function includes a housing 1, with adjustable feet 2 mounted on the bottom of the housing 1 for adjustable height. A level detection unit 3 is mounted on the top plate 19 of the housing 1. The level detection unit 3 includes a leveling bead 4 and a bracket 5 for mounting the leveling bead 4. The top plate 19 of the housing 1 is a flat plate arranged parallel to the bottom plate; the bracket 5 is installed to fit snugly against the top plate 19. The water tray is parallel to the top plate 19 of the housing 1, so when adjusting the water tray, only the top plate 19 needs to be leveled to achieve leveling.

[0024] The top plate 19 is provided with a mounting opening 6, into which the bracket 5 is mounted. The bracket 5 comprises a lower frame body 7 and a top retaining rib 12. The frame body 7 is inserted into the mounting opening 6, with the rib abutting against the end surface of the top plate 19 surrounding the mounting opening 6. The central portion of the frame body 7 forms a mounting area 8, into which the leveling bead 4 is mounted and restrained by the frame body 7. The bracket 5 is an integrally formed structure, and the leveling bead 4 is a columnar structure mounted within the frame body 7, with its periphery constrained by the frame body 7 to prevent it from shaking and ensure accurate installation.

[0025] To prevent the bracket 5 from shaking after being installed on the top plate 19, the edge of the mounting opening 6 has a first, linear, limiting edge 9 and a second, curved, limiting edge 10. The outer ring of the bracket 5's cross section matches the shape of the mounting opening 6, and the first and second limiting edges 9, 10 restrict the bracket 5 from rotating. The use of a non-complete circular structure for positioning the bracket 5 ensures accurate installation and relatively secures the bracket 5 and the mounting hole, thus enhancing the accuracy of the leveling bead 4's detection.

[0026] As described above, the second limiting edge 10 is in an incomplete circular shape, and the edge of the mounting opening 6 is composed of the first limiting edge 9 and the second limiting edge 10 .

[0027] In this embodiment, a limiting block 13 extends inward from the edge of the mounting opening 6, and the frame 7 includes a plurality of limiting ribs 14 arranged along the circumference. In the assembled state, the limiting block 13 is located in the gap between two limiting ribs 14. The limiting block 13 is a sheet-like structure extending toward the middle of the mounting opening 6 and has an overall triangular structure. During assembly, the limiting rib 14 rotates and is affected by the limiting block 13.

[0028] In this embodiment, some of the limiting ribs 14 form positioning surfaces 15, and the positioning surfaces 15 match the first limiting edge 9, thereby facilitating installation and positioning and preventing rotation and shaking after installation.

[0029] In this embodiment, elastic claws 16 are provided on the outside of the limiting ribs 14. The outer diameter of these claws 16 is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting opening 6. These claws 16 are plastic components integral to the bracket 5 and possess a certain degree of elastic deformation. During installation, they are deformed by downward pressure and fall under the mounting opening 6, completing the installation of the bracket 5. The retaining edge abuts against the top plate 19. These claws 16 connect between adjacent limiting ribs 14. There can be at least two of these claws, and in this embodiment, there are two.

[0030] The bottom of the frame 7 is a support sheet 17, and a through hole 18 is provided in the middle of the support sheet 17. One end of the limiting rib 14 is connected to the support sheet 17, and the other end is connected to the limiting retaining edge 12.

[0031] This solution adjusts the dehumidifier's leveling by observing the position of the leveling bead 4 on the dehumidifier's leveling device. This prevents condensed water from overflowing the drain pan due to uneven heights and also prevents dehumidifiers from tilting when stacked. The elastic clips save labor compared to existing designs that use screws and sheet metal.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the bracket 5 is a plastic part.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the number of the adjustable feet 2 is four.
