[0033] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 A drainage structure according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes a water receiving component 100 and a water tank 120. The water receiving component 100 is used to install a heat exchanger, wherein the heat exchanger includes a condenser and an evaporator. The water receiving component 100 is provided with a water receiving trough 101. The heat exchanger is mounted on the water receiving trough 101. The water receiving trough 101 is used to receive condensed water collected from the heat exchanger. The water receiving component 100 has an installation cavity 110. The water tank 120 is removably plugged into the installation cavity 110. The water tank 120 has a water storage cavity 123 capable of storing condensed water. The water receiving trough 101 is connected to the installation cavity 110, allowing the condensed water to drip into the water tank 120 for collection.
[0035] It can be understood that a water receiving trough 101 and a drainage channel 106 are provided on the top of the water receiving component 100. The drainage channel 106 is connected to the water receiving trough 101. One end of the drainage channel 106 is provided with a first water outlet 109 connected to the installation cavity 110, and the other end of the drainage channel 106 is provided with a second water outlet 111 connected to the outside. It can be understood that condensed water can flow into the water tank 120 through the first water outlet 109, and can also be drained out through the second water outlet 111. When the water tank 120 is not in use, drainage can be achieved by connecting the drain pipe through the second water outlet 111 without disassembling the water tank 120 to pour water. When used in scenarios that require frequent movement, water can be stored in the water tank 120, which is conducive to improving convenience of use.
[0036] It is understood that the water receiving trough 101 includes a first water collecting chamber 102 and a second water collecting chamber 103. The first water collecting chamber 102 and the second water collecting chamber 103 are used to install the heat exchanger. At the same time, the upper walls of the first water collecting chamber 102 and the second water collecting chamber 103 are both provided with support plates 104. The support plates 104 are used to support the bottom of the heat exchanger, so that a gap is formed between the bottom wall of the heat exchanger and the upper wall of the water receiving trough 101. This gap enables condensed water to flow quickly to the drainage channel 106, which can effectively improve drainage efficiency. It is understood that the downward tilt of the upper wall of the water receiving trough 101 from the outer periphery of the water receiving trough 101 to the direction of the drainage channel 106 can prevent condensed water from staying on the upper wall of the water receiving trough 101, which helps to improve drainage efficiency.
[0037] It can be understood that the upper wall surface of the second water collecting chamber 103 on the water receiving trough 101 is lower than the upper wall surface of the first water collecting chamber 102. Therefore, the first water collecting chamber 102 and the second water collecting chamber 103 are provided with a separator 105. The separator 105 prevents the water from flowing between the first water collecting chamber 102 and the second water collecting chamber 103, thereby avoiding the accumulation of condensed water in the second water collecting chamber 103 and the occurrence of water accumulation and leakage.
[0038] It is understood that the first water collection chamber 102 and the second water collection chamber 103 are connected to the drainage channel 106 on the same side. Furthermore, the water receiving tank 101 also includes a third water collection chamber 118, which is located on the other side of the drainage channel 106 away from the first water collection chamber 102. It is understood that the heat exchanger located on the first water collection chamber 102 and the second water collection chamber 103 has several cold pipes for transporting refrigerant, and the third water collection chamber 118 can be used to collect condensed water on the cold pipes to prevent water accumulation.
[0039] Reference Figure 2 Drain channel 106 is provided with an overflow pipe 116 having an overflow port 117 connected to mounting chamber 110. The upper end surface of overflow pipe 116 is higher than the upper wall surface of drainage channel 106. It is understood that when the drainage efficiency of first and second water outlets 109, 111 is insufficient due to a large amount of water or a blockage, overflowing condensed water can be promptly discharged through overflow pipe 116, preventing further water accumulation or leakage. At the same time, overflow port 117 is connected to third water collection chamber 118, allowing for the timely discharge of condensed water from third water collection chamber 118 to prevent water accumulation.
[0040] Reference Figure 3As can be understood, drainage channel 106 includes a first drainage section 107 and a second drainage section 108. A first water outlet 109 is located at one end of first drainage section 107, and a second water outlet 111 is located at the end of second drainage section 108 facing away from first water outlet 109. As can be understood, first drainage section 107 communicates with first water collection chamber 102, while second drainage section 108 communicates with second water collection chamber 103. Furthermore, the upper wall of first drainage section 107 is higher than the upper wall of second drainage section 108, facilitating the discharge of condensed water to second water outlet 111. It is understandable that when the second water outlet 111 is connected to a drain pipe, the condensed water is mainly discharged to the outside through the drain pipe. Since the upper wall surface of the first drainage section 107 is higher than the upper wall surface of the second drainage section 108, the possibility of condensed water flowing into the water tank 120 can be reduced, and the water storage chamber 123 of the water tank 120 can be prevented from accumulating water for a long time, thereby avoiding sanitary problems. In addition, when the drain pipe is connected, there is no need to disassemble the water tank 120 to pour out the water, which is conducive to simplifying the operation. Figure 2 It can be understood that the overflow pipe 116 is arranged in the first drainage section 107, and the upper end surface of the overflow pipe 116 is higher than the upper wall surface of the first drainage section 107.
[0041] It is understood that a water outlet pipe 114 is provided at the end of the second drainage section 108, and a second water outlet 111 is provided at the end of the water outlet pipe 114 facing away from the water receiving trough 101. Furthermore, a recessed water collection trough 115 is provided on the upper wall of the second drainage section 108. The water collection trough 115 extends from the upper wall of the second drainage section 108 to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 114, which can concentrate condensed water into the water outlet pipe 114, thereby improving drainage efficiency.
[0042] It can be understood that the first water outlet 109 is provided with an openable and closable switch valve 112, and the second water outlet 111 is provided with a detachable cover 113. When the water tank 120 is removed to clean the accumulated water, the first water outlet 109 can be closed at any time through the switch valve 112 to prevent condensed water from dripping from the first water outlet 109 to the ground when the dehumidifier continues to work; when the second water outlet 111 is not used for drainage, the cover 113 can close the drainage to avoid water leakage.
[0043] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The water tank 120 is provided with a water receiving tray 121, which is located within the mounting cavity 110. The water receiving tray 121 is provided with a drain port 124, which is located on the inner wall of the water tank 120 and connects to the water storage cavity 123 of the water tank 120. This drain port 124 allows condensed water to flow along the inner wall of the water tank 120, thereby preventing water dripping noise and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the water receiving tray 121 is provided with a water channel 122, which is recessed within the water receiving tray 121 and corresponds to the first water outlet 109. The drain port 124 is connected to the water channel 122. It can be understood that when the condensed water drips from the first water outlet 109 to the water receiving tray 121, it can fall into the water guide channel 122, and point from the outer periphery of the water guide channel 122 to the direction of the drain outlet 124. The upper wall surface of the water guide channel 122 is tilted downward, so that the condensed water can flow from the water guide channel 122 into the water storage chamber 123, realizing the water storage function.
[0044] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The drain outlet 124 is located on the inner wall of the water tank 120, and there is a gap 125 between the outer end surface of the drain outlet 124 and the inner wall of the water tank 120. The condensed water flows into the water storage chamber 123 from the gap 125, which can make the condensed water flow along the inner wall of the water tank 120, avoiding dripping noise and improving the user experience.
[0045] In an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, a dehumidifier is provided, comprising the above-mentioned dehumidification structure. It is understood that the dehumidifier includes all the technical features of the dehumidification structure, and thus the dehumidifier also has all the beneficial effects of the dehumidification structure.
[0046] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
