Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Example 1
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a condensed water overflow collection device for a clothes dryer, comprising a water collecting box 1, a sealing cover 2 is provided on the top of the water collecting box 1, the sealing cover 2 and the water collecting box 1 are connected by a positioning component 3, and overflow components 4 are provided on the left and right sides of the water collecting box 1;
[0032] The positioning assembly 3 includes a guide vertical slot 301 provided on the outer walls of both sides of the water collecting box 1, a card slot 302 provided on one side of the guide vertical slot 301, and a mounting slot 303 provided on the other side. A movable inclined block 304 is provided in the mounting slot 303, and a spring 305 is connected to the side of the movable inclined block 304 away from the card slot 302. The spring 305 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting slot 303. The left and right sides of the cover 2 are fixedly connected with fixed blocks 306, and the inner side of the fixed block 306 is fixedly connected with a card block 307. The position structure of the card block 307 corresponds to the guide vertical slot 301 and the card slot 302. The card block 307 is positioned and fixed by the card block 307 and the card slot 302, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cover 2, facilitates the pouring out of the condensed water in the water collecting box 1, and facilitates the cleaning of the water collecting box 1 and the cover 2 to avoid the accumulation of stains and the breeding of bacteria.
[0033] The overflow assembly 4 includes an overflow box 401 fixedly connected to the water collecting box 1. An overflow groove 402 is provided on the water collecting box 1. The height of the overflow groove 402 is slightly lower than the height of the top of the overflow box 401. The overflow groove 402 is connected to the inner cavity of the overflow box 401. When the water level in the water collecting box 1 is too high, the condensed water will flow into the overflow box 401 through the overflow groove 402 to avoid water overflow in the water collecting box 1, and it can also avoid the spillage of condensed water when it is drawn out due to the high water level in the water collecting box 1.
[0034] Specifically, a front baffle 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the water collecting box 1 , and a recessed handle 6 is provided on the front side of the front baffle 5 to facilitate pulling out and pushing in the water collecting box 1 .
[0035] Furthermore, an insertion end 7 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the water collecting box 1 for positioning the water collecting box 1 .
[0036] Furthermore, a water guide groove 8 is provided on the top of the cover 2, and a water inlet 9 is provided at the bottom of the water guide groove 8 for connecting to a cold water drain pipe.
[0037] It is worth noting that a limiting sliding groove 10 is provided at the bottom of the installation groove 303 , and the limiting sliding groove 10 is slidably connected to the movable inclined block 304 via a limiting sliding block.
[0038] It is worth noting that a support platform 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water collecting box 1, a filter screen 12 is provided on the support platform 11, a first magnet block 13 is embedded in the top of the support platform 11, and a second magnet block 14 is embedded in the bottom of the filter screen 12 at a position corresponding to the first magnet block 13. The filter screen 12 is used to filter the lint in the water, and the filter screen 12 is easy to remove for easy cleaning.
[0039] It is worth mentioning that a filter screen 403 is installed in the overflow tank 402, and a drain outlet 404 is installed near the bottom of the side away from the overflow box 401 to prevent stains from entering the overflow box 401.
[0040] Working principle and process: When there is too much condensed water in the water collecting box 1, the condensed water exceeding the overflow groove 402 will flow into the overflow box 401 through the overflow groove 402 to avoid overflow of the internal condensed water due to failure to pour out the water in the water collecting box 1 in time. The front baffle 5 and the water collecting box 1 are pulled out through the recessed handle 6. Since the water level in the water collecting box 1 will not be too high, the pouring of water can be effectively avoided. After pulling out the water collecting box 1, the cover 2 is pushed to move backward, and then the fixed block 306 fixedly connected to the cover 2 drives the card block 307 to move backward, and the card block 307 drives the movable inclined block 304 to move until the card block 307 is in the guide vertical groove 301 position, and then the cover 2 is pulled upward, and the fixed block 306 drives the card block 307 along the guide When the vertical slot 301 moves upward, the cover 2 can be removed, the filter screen 12 in the water collecting box 1 can be removed, the condensed water can be poured out and the water collecting box 1, the cover 2, and the filter screen 12 can be cleaned, and the drain outlet 404 can be opened to drain the water in the overflow box 401. When installing the cover 2, the block 307 moves down along the guide vertical slot 301. When it contacts the movable inclined block 304, the movable inclined block 304 can be squeezed to move along the limiting slide groove 10 and the spring 305 can be compressed. After the block 307 reaches the bottom of the guide vertical slot 301, the cover 2 is pushed forward so that the pull block 307 is located in the slot 302. At the same time, the movable inclined block 304 moves under the action of the spring 305 to block the movement of the block 307 to achieve the sealing effect of the cover 2.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
