Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dehumidifier supporting equipment, in particular to a movable bracket and an external water tank for a dehumidifier. Background Art

[0002] A dehumidifier is a household appliance used to reduce humidity, typically through condensation or moisture absorption. It effectively removes excess moisture from indoor spaces, preventing mold growth, improving living comfort, and protecting furniture and appliances from the effects of moisture. Dehumidifiers are suitable for humid environments such as basements, laundry rooms, and bathrooms, and typically feature humidity control, automatic shutoff, and a timer.

[0003] Traditional dehumidifiers come with built-in water tanks, but most of the built-in water tanks are very small. The water tanks are easily full after long-term operation. If the water is not poured out in time, the dehumidifier will stop and cannot continue to provide dehumidification function, affecting the test performance and life of the instrument. If the built-in water tank is large, it will be too heavy to pour water and inconvenient to operate. If only an external water tank is used, the dehumidifier and the water tank are placed separately, which takes up more space and is not easy to move. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a dehumidifier with a movable bracket and an external water tank, which effectively solves the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions.

[0006] A movable bracket for a dehumidifier comprises a base plate, three grille plates and a top plate. The three grille plates are respectively fixed vertically on three sides of the upper surface of the base plate. The top plate is fixed on the top of the three grille plates to form a placement space with an opening on one side. A partition is fixed between the three grille plates near the middle of the placement space. The partition is provided with a through hole that passes through the upper and lower parts for the dehumidifier drainage pipe to pass through. The partition divides the placement space into two upper and lower placement chambers. The dehumidifier is placed in the upper placement chamber. A door panel is hingedly installed on one side of the grille plate by a hinge. The other grille plate and the door panel are jointly provided with a lock body for locking the door panel. Universal wheels are respectively installed at the four top corners of the bottom of the base plate.

[0007] Furthermore, two slide rails are symmetrically fixed in the lower placement cavity and on the upper surface of the base plate. Both slide rails are provided with sliding seats with limited sliding installations. A placement plate is fixed on both sliding seats, and the placement plate can slide forward and extend to the outside.

[0008] Furthermore, a first placement groove is provided on the upper surface of the partition, and a second placement groove is provided on the upper surface of the placement plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the utility model also provides an external water tank, which is placed on a placement plate and includes a box body, a water inlet arranged on the top of the box body and four walking wheels distributed on the bottom of the box body.
