Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air treatment, in particular to a water tank and dehumidification equipment. Background Art

[0002] Dehumidification equipment is used to separate and collect moisture in the air to reduce the humidity of the environment. The dehumidification equipment includes a dehumidification component, a water receiving tray and a water tank. The dehumidification component is used to separate and collect water mist or water vapor in the air. The water receiving tray is located below the dehumidification component. The water collected by the dehumidification component falls into the water receiving chamber of the water receiving tray. The water in the water receiving chamber is introduced into the water tank for storage. The water tank can be disassembled independently. When there is too much water in the water tank, the user needs to remove the water tank and drain the water stored therein. Some users find the process of frequently removing the water tank to pour out the water cumbersome to operate, and hope to use a water pipe to connect the water receiving chamber to directly pump the water in the water receiving chamber to the outside, that is, the water in the water receiving chamber is not stored through the water tank.

[0064] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0065] Dehumidification equipment is used to separate and collect moisture in the air to reduce the humidity of the environment. The dehumidification equipment includes a dehumidification component, a water receiving tray and a water tank. The dehumidification component is used to separate and collect water mist or water vapor in the air. The water receiving tray is located below the dehumidification component. The water collected by the dehumidification component falls into the water receiving chamber of the water receiving tray. The water in the water receiving chamber is introduced into the water tank for storage. The water tank can be disassembled independently. When there is too much water in the water tank, the user needs to remove the water tank and drain the water stored therein. Some users find the process of frequently removing the water tank to pour out the water cumbersome to operate, and hope to use a water pipe to connect the water receiving chamber to directly pump the water in the water receiving chamber to the outside, that is, the water in the water receiving chamber is not stored through the water tank. However, in the above solution, an additional water pump needs to be set up, which is costly and cumbersome to operate.

[0066] In an improved scheme, a three-way valve is arranged in the pipeline for guiding water into the water tank, the first end of the three-way valve is communicated with the water pump, the second end is detachably communicated with the water tank, and the third end is used for connecting an external water pipe (normally in a normally closed state). When the user adopts the water tank to drain water, the water in the water receiving cavity is pumped by the water pump to the first end of the three-way valve and guided to the water tank through the second end. When the user adopts the water pipe to drain water, the water in the water receiving cavity is pumped by the water pump to the first end of the three-way valve and guided to the external water pipe through the third end (the second end is set to be normally closed). In the above scheme, the original water pump of the dehumidification equipment can be used for water pipe drainage, without the need for additional water pump, thereby reducing the cost. However, this scheme needs to set a three-way valve and improve the pipeline, and the structure is relatively complex, and the cost still has room for reduction.

[0067] In view of this, please refer to Figures 1 to 9 The first aspect of the present application provides a water tank 100, which is suitable for a dehumidification equipment 10. It should be noted that the dehumidification equipment 10 can be any equipment with dehumidification function. The dehumidification equipment 10 can be a dehumidifier with only dehumidification function, or an air conditioner or other equipment with dehumidification function. The dehumidification equipment 10 with the water tank 100 can be used in any scene with dehumidification demand, such as household, industry, power distribution cabinet and switch cabinet. For the convenience of description, the following takes the dehumidification equipment 10 as a household dehumidifier with only dehumidification function as an example.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 4 The water tank 100 includes a shell 110 and a connecting structure 120. The shell 110 is provided with a water storage cavity 111 and a water guiding hole 112 communicated with the water storage cavity 111, and the water storage cavity 111 obtains water through the water guiding hole 112. At least part of the connecting structure 120 is arranged in the water storage cavity 111 and connected to the shell 110. The connecting structure 120 is suitable for connecting the water pipe 20, so that the water pipe 20 is communicated with the water guiding hole 112 and obtains water in the water guiding hole 112. Specifically, when the dehumidification equipment 10 is running, the moisture in the air condenses into liquid water and flows into the water storage cavity 111 in the shell 110 through the water guiding hole 112. The water storage cavity 111 can accommodate a certain amount of water to ensure enough space to collect condensed water when the equipment is continuously running. The water tank 100 is provided with the connecting structure 120. When the user needs to use the water pipe 20 to drain water, the water pipe 20 is connected with the connecting structure 120, so that the water pipe 20 is communicated with the water guiding hole 112, that is, the water in the water receiving cavity 310 can be guided to the water pipe 20 by the water pump of the dehumidification equipment 10 and finally drained. In this scheme, the user can use the original water pump of the dehumidification equipment 10 to drain water, without the need for additional water pump, thereby reducing the number of water pumps and the material cost.

[0069] Furthermore, in this solution, since connection structure 120 is at least partially located within water tank 100, when the user needs to drain water tank 100, connection structure 120 can be disconnected from water pipe 20. When the user needs to drain water from water pipe 20, the user simply connects water pipe 20 to connection structure 120, thereby connecting water guide hole 112. Compared to solutions that require a three-way valve installed outside water tank 100 to switch between two drainage modes, this solution does not require a three-way valve and corresponding drainage piping modifications, resulting in a simpler structure and further reduced costs.

[0070] It should be noted that the connection structure 120 is connected to the water pipe 20 to enable the water pipe 20 to communicate with the water guide hole 112. The connection structure 120 may or may not participate in the water flow communication between the water guide hole 112 and the water pipe 20. When the connection structure 120 participates in the water flow communication between the water guide hole 112 and the water pipe 20, the water flow in the water guide hole 112 may be first directed to the connection structure 120 and then to the water pipe 20. In addition to securing the water pipe 20, the connection structure 120 also serves as a flow guide. When the connection structure 120 does not participate in the water flow communication between the water guide hole 112 and the water pipe 20, the connection structure 120 may only serve to secure the water pipe 20, thereby facilitating the connection and communication between the water pipe 20 and the water guide hole 112.

[0071] When the connection structure 120 is involved in the communication between the water guide hole 112 and the water pipe 20, please refer to Figures 4 to 6In some embodiments, the inner wall of the shell 110 of the water tank 100 includes a water guide wall 113, and the water guide hole 112 passes through the water guide wall 113. The connecting structure 120 includes an annular flange 121 protruding from the water guide wall 113. The annular flange 121 is arranged around the hole axis of the water guide hole 112, and the inner cavity of the annular flange 121 is connected to the water guide hole 112. The annular flange 121 is suitable for being inserted into the end of the water pipe 20 or being sleeved outside the end of the water pipe 20. Specifically, the design of the water guide wall 113 helps to guide water flow to the water guide hole 112, ensuring that water can flow smoothly into the water storage chamber 111. As part of the connecting structure 120, the annular flange 121 is arranged around the hole axis of the water guide hole 112, which not only strengthens the structural strength around the water guide hole 112 but also provides an interface for connection with the water pipe 20. The inner cavity of the annular flange 121 is connected to the water guide hole 112, ensuring that the water flow can be transferred to the water pipe 20 through the annular flange 121. The annular flange 121 can be inserted into the end of the water pipe 20 or can be sleeved outside the end of the water pipe 20, which enables the connection structure 120 to flexibly adapt to different types of water pipes 20, thereby enhancing the compatibility and applicability of the equipment. In addition, the annular flange 121 is protruding from the water guide wall 113, so when the condensed water flows into the water storage chamber 111 through the water guide hole 112, the condensed water is prevented from flowing back to the water guide hole 112 due to the obstruction of the annular flange 121. Such a design not only improves the stability and sealing of the connection between the water tank 100 and the water pipe 20, but also simplifies the installation and maintenance process, allowing users to quickly and conveniently replace or clean the water pipe 20, thereby improving the user experience and maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0072] In other embodiments, the water pipe 20 and the annular flange 121 can also be connected in a nested manner. Specifically, the annular flange 121 has a first interface that can be inserted into the water pipe 20 and a second interface that is sleeved on the outside of the water pipe 20. In some embodiments, the connecting structure 120 can also be disposed in the water guide hole 112, and there is an escape space between the outer wall of the connecting structure 120 used to connect one end of the water pipe 20 and the inner wall of the water guide hole 112, so that the water pipe 20 can be sleeved on the outside of the connecting structure 120 and exist in the escape space. In other embodiments, the annular flange 121 is sleeved on the outside of the water pipe 20, and a clamping structure is provided in the annular flange 121. The clamping structure can provide clamping force to the water pipe 20 inserted in the annular flange 121, thereby improving the connection reliability between the annular flange 121 and the water pipe 20.

[0073] It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, the material of the annular flange 121 can be the same as that of the housing 110 to ensure consistency and durability throughout the water tank 100. To improve sealing, the thickness of the annular flange 121 can be appropriately increased. Furthermore, the surface of the annular flange 121 can be specially treated, such as with anti-slip textures or a waterproof coating, to enhance its connection to the water pipe 20 and further improve the reliability and service life of the connection.

[0074] See also Figure 8 In some embodiments, the annular flange 121 is adapted to be inserted into the end of the water pipe 20. The annular flange 121 has an outer peripheral wall and an end wall facing away from the water guide wall 113, and a first chamfer is provided between the end wall and the outer peripheral wall. Alternatively, refer to Figure 7 The annular flange 121 is adapted to be mounted over the end of the water pipe 20. The annular flange 121 comprises an inner circumferential wall and an end wall facing away from the water guide wall 113, with a second chamfer provided between the end wall and the inner circumferential wall. Specifically, the design of the annular flange 121 ensures a tight and convenient connection between the water pipe 20 and the water guide hole 112. When the annular flange 121 is inserted into the end of the water pipe 20, the outer circumferential wall fits tightly against the inner wall of the water pipe 20. The first chamfer reduces frictional resistance during insertion, facilitating a smoother insertion process. Similarly, when the annular flange 121 is mounted over the end of the water pipe 20, the inner circumferential wall fits tightly against the outer wall of the water pipe 20. The second chamfer also helps reduce frictional resistance during insertion, facilitating a smoother insertion process. This design not only improves the sealing and stability of the connection between the water pipe 20 and the water guide hole 112, but also simplifies the installation process, allowing users to quickly and easily connect and disconnect the water pipe 20, improving the convenience of device maintenance and use. In other words, the design of the first chamfer and the second chamfer further enhances the reliability and service life of the connection.

[0075] See also Figure 8In some embodiments, the annular flange 121 of the water tank 100 has an inner circumferential wall, and the water guide hole 112 has a hole wall. The port of the inner circumferential wall close to the water guide wall 113 coincides with the port of the hole wall close to the water guide wall 113. Specifically, the design of the inner circumferential wall of the annular flange 121 coinciding with the port of the hole wall of the water guide hole 112 ensures that the water flow smoothly enters the inner cavity of the annular flange 121 from the water guide hole 112 and is then transmitted to the water pipe 20 through the annular flange 121. This eliminates the obstacles that the water flow may encounter during transmission, improving the continuity and stability of the water flow. At the same time, the coincidence of the inner circumferential wall and the port of the hole wall also enhances the overall strength of the connecting structure 120, reducing the risk of structural damage caused by water flow impact. In other words, this design not only improves the sealing and stability of the connection between the water tank 100 and the water pipe 20, but also ensures smooth transmission of the water flow, improving the operating efficiency and reliability of the equipment. The coincidence of the inner circumferential wall and the port of the hole wall further enhances the strength of the connecting structure 120, prolonging the service life of the equipment.

[0076] In other embodiments, the size of the port of the annular flange 121 away from the water guide wall 113 can be larger than that of the water guide hole 112, i.e., the shape of the inner circumferential wall can be conical, the size of the inner circumferential wall changes linearly, or the size of the inner circumferential wall changes in steps. In some embodiments, a plane perpendicular to the axis of the water guide hole 112 is defined as a projection plane, and the projection shape of the annular flange 121 on the projection plane can include but is not limited to a circle, a rectangle, a polygon, and a combination shape, etc. The projection shape of the annular flange 121 is adapted to the shape of the water guide hole 112.

[0077] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the contact surface of the inner circumferential wall and the hole wall can be coated with a layer of sealing glue or use a sealing ring to further enhance the sealing effect of the connection between the connecting structure 120 and the water guide hole 112. The materials of the inner circumferential wall of the annular flange 121 and the hole wall of the water guide hole 112 can be selected from high wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to long-term water flow impact and corrosive environment, improving the durability of the equipment.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6In some embodiments, the axis of the annular flange 121 is arranged vertically, and the end of the annular flange 121 facing away from the water guide wall 113 is located above the end of the annular flange 121 near the water guide wall 113. In other words, the annular flange 121 can extend vertically or be positioned on a horizontally extending water guide wall 113, with the end of the annular flange 121 facing away from the water guide wall 113 higher than the water guide wall 113. This helps improve the structural strength and stability of the annular flange 121. Furthermore, when the annular flange 121 is inserted into or sleeved over the end of the water pipe 20, this height difference provides better support and positioning, ensuring a tight and reliable connection. Furthermore, this not only improves the stability of the connection between the annular flange 121 and the water pipe 20, but also reduces the risk of structural damage caused by water flow impact. It also helps prevent water from being diverted into the water guide hole 112, improving the drainage efficiency and reliability of the device. In other embodiments, the annular flange 121 may also extend in the horizontal direction, that is, the annular flange 121 may be provided on the water guide wall 113 extending in the vertical direction.

[0079] It is understood that in some embodiments, the height difference between the end of the annular flange 121 facing away from the water guide wall 113 and the water guide wall 113 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, to further improve the stability of the connection, this height difference can be appropriately increased. To further reduce the vertical space occupied by the annular flange 121 in the water tank 100, this height difference can be appropriately reduced. The specific design can be designed according to the specific usage scenario of the dehumidification device 10.

[0080] See also Figure 4 In some embodiments, the housing 110 includes a bottom plate 114 having an upwardly projecting first protrusion 1141. The top wall of the first protrusion 1141 within the water storage chamber 111 serves as a water guide wall 113, and the water guide hole 112 extends through the water guide wall 113. This structural design enables the water tank 100 to effectively collect and guide moisture into the water storage chamber 111 during the dehumidification process. Furthermore, the design of the first protrusion 1141 facilitates the design of the water guide hole 112. The water guide hole 112 extends through the water guide wall 113 on the top wall of the first protrusion 1141 within the water storage chamber 111, thereby positioning the water guide hole 112 at a higher position within the water storage chamber 111. This reduces the probability of condensed water within the water storage chamber 111 flowing back out of the water storage chamber 111 through the water guide hole 112.

[0081] It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, housing 110 includes a bottom plate 114 and a side plate 115 connected to one side of bottom plate 114. Side plate 115 is provided with a second protrusion 1151 projecting into water storage chamber 111. The top wall of second protrusion 1151 within water storage chamber 111 serves as water guide wall 113, and water guide hole 112 extends through water guide wall 113. By providing second protrusion 1151 on side plate 115, the position of water guide hole 112 can be changed to accommodate the needs of different installation environments while maintaining good water guide performance.

[0082] Furthermore, the design of the second protrusion 1151 can enhance the structural stability of the water tank 100. In particular, when the side panels 115 are subjected to external pressure, the second protrusion 1151 can provide additional support, reducing deformation of the side panels 115 and thereby ensuring the overall structural strength of the water tank 100. Furthermore, this structure helps optimize the distribution of water flow within the water tank 100, reducing the impact of water flow on the walls of the water tank 100 and extending the service life of the water tank 100.

[0083] It should be noted that the first protrusion 1141 can be spaced apart from the side panel 115, or can be connected to the side panel 115. The second protrusion 1151 can be spaced apart from the bottom panel 114, or can be connected to the bottom panel 114. In some embodiments, the first protrusion 1141 is integrally formed with the bottom panel 114, and the second protrusion 1151 is integrally formed with the side panel 115.

[0084] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, housing 110 includes a housing body 116 and a cover 117. Housing body 116 defines a first opening 1161. Cover 117 is movably connected to housing body 116 and can open or close first opening 1161. When cover 117 closes first opening 1161, it forms a water storage chamber 111 with housing body 116. This design allows users to easily open cover 117 to clean or maintain water tank 100, while also ensuring the water tank 100 is sealed during use to prevent water leakage.

[0085] The cover 117 can be connected by a hinge or other form of rotatable connection, allowing the user to open and close the cover 117 with a simple operation. When the cover 117 is closed, it fits tightly against the housing body 116, forming a complete water storage chamber 111, ensuring the sealing and water storage safety of the water tank 100. In some embodiments, the cover 117 and the housing body 116 can also be connected by a sliding connection. In other embodiments, the cover 117 and the housing body 116 can be connected by a sealing ring on the housing body 116 or the cover 117. The cover 117 can be completely separated from the housing body 116, thereby opening the first opening 1161. This facilitates the removal of liquid from the water storage chamber 111 and the assembly of the water pipe 20 and the connecting structure 120. When the cover 117 is closed on the housing body 116, the sealing ring acts to tightly connect the cover 117 to the housing body 116, thereby sealing the first opening 1161.

[0086] It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, along the axis of the first opening 1161, the water guide hole 112 and / or the connecting structure 120 are at least partially exposed to the first opening 1161. This design makes the water guide hole 112 and the connecting structure 120 easier to inspect and maintain when the cover 117 is open, and also facilitates connection to the external water pipe 20 or other water guide components 400, thereby improving the usability of the water tank 100. Specifically, when the cover 117 moves relative to the shell body 116 to open the first opening 1161, the projection of the water guide hole 112 and the connecting structure 120 on the horizontal plane is located within the projection range of the first opening 1161 on the horizontal plane. When installing the water pipe 20 on the connecting structure 120, sufficient operating space is provided, reducing the difficulty of assembly, thereby improving the usability of the dehumidification device 10.

[0087] In some embodiments, the water guide hole 112 can be designed to slightly protrude beyond the edge of the first opening 1161. This allows the water guide hole 112 to maintain a good connection with the external water guide assembly 400 even when the lid 117 is closed. The connection structure 120 can also be designed to partially expose the first opening 1161, allowing the user to make necessary adjustments or replacements without fully opening the lid 117. This design not only improves the maintenance convenience of the water tank 100, but also reduces the risk of poor sealing caused by frequent lid opening, ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of the water tank 100.

[0088] See also Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments, the shell 110 includes a shell body 116 provided with a first opening 1161, and a cover 117 movably connected to the shell body 116 and capable of opening or closing the first opening 1161. When the cover 117 closes the first opening 1161, the shell body 116 and the cover 117 together form the water storage cavity 111. The cover 117 includes a main body 1171 provided with a second opening 1173, and a cover part 1172 movably connected to the main body 1171 and capable of opening or closing the second opening 1173. In the axial direction of the second opening 1173, the water guide hole 112 and / or the connecting structure 120 are at least partially exposed to the second opening 1173. This makes it easier to check and maintain the water guide hole 112 and the connecting structure 120 when the cover 117 is open, and also facilitates the connection of the external water pipe 20 or other water guide assembly 400, improving the convenience of using the water tank 100.

[0089] In some embodiments, the cover 117 can be fixedly connected to the shell body 116, i.e., the cover 117 and the shell body 116 can be made in one piece, or the cover 117 can be connected to the shell body 116 by welding. Thus, in the scenario where the water pipe 20 is not needed, the liquid in the water storage cavity 111 can be discharged through the second opening 1173, and in the scenario where the water pipe 20 is needed, the water pipe 20 can be connected to the connecting structure 120 through the second opening 1173.

[0090] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the cover part 1172 can be connected to the main body 1171 in a sliding, rotating or snap-fit manner, etc. For example, the cover part 1172 can slide along the edge of the second opening 1173, and open or close the second opening 1173 by sliding to different positions. This design not only improves the maintenance convenience of the water tank 100, but also reduces the risk of poor sealing caused by frequent opening, ensuring the stability and reliability of the water tank 100 during long-term use.

[0091] In addition, the design of the cover part 1172 can also increase the sealing performance of the water tank 100. For example, the cover part 1172 can be designed with a sealing ring structure, which can tightly fit the edge of the second opening 1173 when the cover part 1172 is closed, further enhancing the sealing performance of the water tank 100. This design not only prevents water leakage, but also reduces the possibility of external dust and impurities entering the water tank 100, improving the cleanliness and service life of the water tank 100.

[0092] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6In some embodiments, a sliding structure is provided on the side of the cover 117 facing the water storage chamber 111. A covering portion 1172 is located on the side of the cover 117 facing the water storage chamber 111 and is slidably connected to the sliding structure. The covering portion 1172 is configured to slide in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the second opening 1173 to open or close the second opening 1173. This design allows the user to conveniently control the opening and closing of the second opening 1173 by sliding the covering portion 1172, thereby improving the ease of use and maintenance of the water tank 100.

[0093] Specifically, the sliding structure can be a slide rail, a slide groove, or other similar structure that can guide the cover 1172 to slide along a predetermined path, ensuring that the cover 1172 does not deviate from the track during the sliding process. This design not only simplifies the operation of the cover 1172, but also improves the structural stability of the water tank 100 and prevents water leakage caused by loosening of the cover 1172.

[0094] It is understood that in some embodiments, the sliding structure can be designed as a multi-level slide or a double-layer slide to increase sliding stability and reliability. For example, the slide can be divided into two sections, one fixed to the cover 117 and the other fixed to the cover portion 1172. The two sections are connected by balls or other rolling elements to reduce friction and improve sliding smoothness. This design not only increases the lifespan of the sliding structure, but also reduces sliding noise, improving the user experience.

[0095] Furthermore, the sliding range of the cover portion 1172 can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, stoppers can be provided at both ends of the slide rail to prevent the cover portion 1172 from sliding off the rail. The stoppers can be designed to be adjustable, allowing the user to adjust their positions as needed, thereby varying the sliding range of the cover portion 1172. This design not only improves the flexibility of the water tank 100 but also enhances its safety, preventing accidents caused by the cover portion 1172 sliding off the rail.

[0096] Through the design of the sliding structure, not only can the cover 1172 be opened and closed quickly, but it can also effectively prevent water leakage, thereby improving the overall performance of the water tank 100 and user experience.

[0097] In some embodiments, the water tank 100 further includes a plug-in tube 130, which is disposed outside the water storage chamber 111 and connected to the housing 110. One end of the plug-in tube 130 is connected to the end of the water guide hole 112 facing away from the water storage chamber 111. The plug-in tube 130 is adapted to connect to the water guide assembly 400 of the dehumidification device 10 to obtain water separated by the dehumidification device 10 and direct it out of the water guide hole 112. This design allows the water separated by the dehumidification device 10 to be smoothly directed out of the water tank 100, improving the drainage efficiency and reliability of the water tank 100, thereby enhancing the continuous operation capability of the dehumidification device 10.

[0098] The provision of the plug-in tube 130 not only facilitates the connection between the water guide assembly 400 and the water tank 100, but also ensures smooth water flow. One end of the plug-in tube 130 connects to the water guide hole 112, while the other end docks with the water guide assembly 400 of the dehumidifier 10, forming a complete water guide path. This structural design allows the water tank 100 to continuously receive separated water during operation of the dehumidifier 10, ensuring its proper operation.

[0099] It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, the plug-in tube 130 can be designed in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate different dehumidification device models 10 and installation environments. For example, the plug-in tube 130 can be a straight tube, a curved tube, or a flanged tube to accommodate different connection requirements. Furthermore, the plug-in tube 130 can be made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant materials, including but not limited to stainless steel and engineering plastics, to ensure its stability and durability over extended use.

[0100] To further enhance the connection reliability and sealing performance of the plug-in tube 130, a sealing ring or gasket can be installed at the connection between the plug-in tube 130 and the water-conducting hole 112. This sealing ring or gasket effectively prevents water leakage at the connection, ensuring smooth water flow. Similarly, a sealing measure can also be installed at the connection between the plug-in tube 130 and the water-conducting assembly 400 to ensure the sealing of the entire water-conducting path.

[0101] The design of the plug-in pipe 130 can also include additional functions. For example, the plug-in pipe 130 can be provided with a flow control valve, allowing the user to adjust the speed and flow of the water flow as needed to adapt to different usage scenarios. The provision of a flow control valve not only increases the flexibility of the dehumidifier 10 but also reduces the risk of overflow caused by excessive water flow, thereby improving the safety of the dehumidifier 10.

[0102] See also Figure 6In some embodiments, the connection structure 120 includes a connection pipe 122, and the connection pipe 122 is movably connected to the housing 110. The connection structure 120 has a first connection position and a second connection position relative to the housing 110. When the connection structure 120 is in the first connection position, one end is connected to the housing 110 and connected to the water guide hole 112, and the other end extends out of the housing 110 and is suitable for connecting to the water pipe 20. When the connection structure 120 is in the second connection position, it is detachably connected to the housing 110 and separated from the water guide hole 112. In other words, in this embodiment, the connection pipe 122 is an accessory of the water tank 100. When the user needs to use the water tank 100 to drain water, the connection pipe 122 can be disconnected from the water guide hole 112. The connection pipe 122 can be detachably connected to any position of the housing 110 (either inside or outside the housing 110). In this case, the water discharged from the water guide hole 112 is stored in the housing 110. When the user needs to use water pipe 20 to drain water, one end of connecting pipe 122 can be connected to water guide hole 112, and the other end can be extended out of housing 110. The user can then connect water pipe 20 to water guide hole 112 outside housing 110, thereby draining water from water pipe 20. In this solution, on the one hand, the user can connect water pipe 20 outside housing 110, making it easier to operate. On the other hand, compared to the solution of connecting water pipe 20 to water guide hole 112, connecting connecting pipe 122 provided by the manufacturer to water guide hole 112 can make the size of connecting pipe 122 and water guide hole 112 more compatible, making it easier to connect water guide hole 112. Moreover, even if the size of user's water pipe 20 and water guide hole 112 do not match, for example, if the inner diameter of user's water pipe 20 is larger than the outer diameter of water guide hole 112, the user can connect water guide hole 112 to water guide hole 112 by tying steel wire outside housing 110, thus improving the adaptability (the space inside housing 110 is limited, and tying steel bars inside housing 110 may not provide enough space for operation).

[0103] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the connection structure 120 may only include the connection pipe 122. Figure 9 When the connection structure 120 only includes the connection pipe 122, the connection structure 120 is detachably inserted into the water guide hole 112, thereby being used to conduct the water guide hole 112. In other embodiments, see Figure 6 The connecting structure 120 may include both a connecting pipe 122 and the annular flange 121 mentioned above. In this case, the connecting pipe 122 is detachably connected to the annular flange 121, thereby facilitating the water pipe 20 to connect to the water guide hole 112. In this solution, the annular flange 121 of the connecting structure 120 may be integrally connected to the shell 110, the connecting pipe 122 is detachably connected to the shell 110, and the connecting pipe 122 is indirectly connected to the shell 110 through the annular flange 121.

[0104] See also Figures 1 to 6The second aspect of the present invention also provides a dehumidification device 10, which includes a water tank 100, a dehumidification component 200, a water receiving tray 300 and a water guide component 400 described in any one of the above embodiments. The water tank 100 is used to collect and store moisture separated from the air, and includes a shell 110 and a connecting structure 120. The shell 110 is provided with a water storage chamber 111 and a water guide hole 112 connected to the water storage chamber 111, and the water storage chamber 111 obtains water through the water guide hole 112. The connecting structure 120 is provided in the water storage chamber 111 and is connected to the shell 110, and is suitable for connecting to the water pipe 20 so that the water pipe 20 is connected to the water guide hole 112 and obtains the water in the water guide hole 112.

[0105] The dehumidifier assembly 200 is used to separate and collect moisture from the air. It operates by lowering the air temperature through a refrigerant circulation system, causing the moisture in the air to condense into liquid water. As air passes through the dehumidifier assembly 200, the moisture in the air condenses due to the drop in temperature, forming water droplets, which are then collected in the water collection tray 300.

[0106] The water receiving tray 300 is provided with a water receiving chamber 310 for obtaining water collected by the dehumidification component 200. The design of the water receiving chamber 310 can effectively receive water flowing out of the dehumidification component 200, prevent water from overflowing or splashing, and ensure that water can smoothly enter the water guide component 400.

[0107] The water guide assembly 400 guides water within the water receiving chamber 310 through the water guide hole 112 to the water storage chamber 111. The water guide assembly 400 can be a simple pipe or a complex system with a pump, depending on the design requirements of the dehumidifier 10. The water guide assembly 400 ensures that water flows smoothly from the water receiving tray 300 into the water tank 100, preventing water accumulation or blockage.

[0108] The dehumidification device 10 of the present application can not only efficiently separate moisture from the air, but also safely store the separated moisture in the water tank 100, thereby improving the overall performance and ease of use of the device.

[0109] It is understood that in some embodiments, the dehumidification device 10 may also include additional functional modules to enhance its performance and user experience. For example, the dehumidification assembly 200 may be equipped with an intelligent control system that monitors indoor humidity via sensors and automatically adjusts the dehumidification intensity to maintain an optimal indoor environment. Furthermore, the water tray 300 may be designed to be removable, allowing for regular cleaning and ensuring hygiene.

[0110] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments, the dehumidification device 10 further includes a base 500, to which the water receiving tray 300 is connected. The base 500 is provided with a diversion channel connected to the water receiving chamber 310. The design of the base 500 not only provides stable support, but also integrates a diversion channel, allowing water to flow smoothly from the water receiving tray 300 to the water guide assembly 400. The diversion channel can be designed to be linear or curved, depending on the spatial layout and water flow characteristics. In some embodiments, the water receiving tray 300 and the base 500 can be manufactured by integral molding.

[0111] The dehumidifier 10 also includes a filter assembly located between the water receiving chamber 310 and the diversion channel. This filter assembly filters impurities from the water, ensuring that the water is initially purified before entering the water diversion assembly 400. The filter assembly may include, but is not limited to, multi-layer filters, activated carbon filters, and other options, depending on the desired filtration effect and cost considerations. The filter assembly effectively removes dust, bacteria, and other impurities from the water, improving water quality and extending the life of the device.

[0112] The water guide assembly 400 connects to the diversion channel and further transports the filtered water to the water guide hole 112. The water guide assembly 400 can be a simple gravity drainage system or an active drainage system with a pump. The specific design of the water guide assembly 400 should take into account factors such as water flow rate, pressure loss, and energy consumption to ensure that the water is efficiently and stably transported to the water guide hole 112 and then flows through the water guide hole 112 to the water pipe 20 or water storage chamber 111.

[0113] Through this design, the dehumidification equipment 10 can not only efficiently separate moisture from the air, but also ensure the cleanliness and stability of the moisture during transportation, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.

[0114] It is understood that in some embodiments, the base 500 may also integrate other functional modules. For example, the base 500 may be equipped with wheels to facilitate user mobility of the dehumidifier 10. The wheels may be designed to be lockable to ensure the stability of the device during use. Furthermore, the base 500 may also be provided with a drain outlet. When the water tank 100 is full, or the water pipe 20 is connected to the water guide hole 112 and the drain outlet, the user can drain excess water through the drain outlet to prevent overflow.

[0115] To improve the service life of the dehumidification device 10, in some embodiments, the filter assembly includes a filter core configured to be replaceable, i.e., the user can replace the filter core independently to ensure the filtering effect of the filter assembly and ensure the normal operation of the dehumidification device 10. The filter assembly can also be equipped with an indicator light that will light up when the filter material needs to be replaced, reminding the user to replace it in time. This design not only improves the maintenance convenience of the device, but also enhances the user experience.

[0116] The water guide assembly 400 can be made of corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to long-term use under different water quality conditions. The water guide assembly 400 can also be equipped with a flow sensor to monitor the speed and flow of water delivery in real time, ensuring that the device can operate normally under various working conditions. This design not only improves the reliability and durability of the device, but also enhances the intelligence level of the device.

[0117] In some embodiments, the water pan 300 is integrally formed with the base 500, the water receiving cavity 310 is an upwardly open recess of the base 500, and the dehumidification assembly 200 is connected to the base 500 and located above the water receiving cavity 310. The water pan 300 and the base 500 form a whole structure, enhancing the stability and durability of the device. The water receiving cavity 310 as part of the base 500 can effectively collect the water separated from the dehumidification assembly 200. The design of the water pan 300 and the base 500 being integrally formed improves the stability and durability of the product, while simplifying the production process, reducing production costs, and reducing assembly errors, improving the reliability and performance of the device.

[0118] Viewed vertically, the flow guide channel is arranged around the outer periphery of the dehumidification assembly 200 and / or the water receiving cavity 310, which can effectively guide the flow of water, avoid direct impact of water flow on the inner wall of the dehumidification assembly 200 or the water receiving cavity 310, reduce noise generation, and also facilitate uniform distribution of water flow, ensuring that water can smoothly enter the water guide assembly 400 and then be guided into the water tank 100.

[0119] Through this design, the dehumidification device 10 not only can efficiently separate water from the air, but also can ensure the smoothness and stability of water during transportation, improving the overall performance and reliability of the device.

[0120] It is understood that in some embodiments, the water receiving tray 300 and the base 500 can also adopt a split design and be fixed together by welding, bonding or snapping, so that the base 500 and the water receiving tray 300 can be flexibly used in dehumidification devices 10 of different sizes or shapes, and it is also convenient for maintenance and replacement. In addition, the diversion channel can also be designed to be adjustable by adjusting the size or direction of its opening to adapt to different usage environments. For example, in a high humidity environment, the drainage speed can be accelerated by increasing the opening of the diversion channel, while in a low humidity environment, the opening can be appropriately reduced to prevent water from losing too quickly. The material of the diversion channel can be selected from corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean materials, including but not limited to stainless steel, Teflon-coated plastics, etc., to extend the service life and maintain good water conduction performance.

[0121] It is understood that in some embodiments, the water tray 300 can be designed to be removable to facilitate regular cleaning by the user and ensure hygiene. The edge of the water tray 300 can be equipped with a sealing ring to ensure a tight seal between the water tray 300 and the base 500 to prevent water leakage. In addition, the water tray 300 can also be equipped with a water level sensor. When the water level in the water receiving chamber 310 reaches a preset value, the water level sensor will trigger an alarm, reminding the user to clean or drain the water in time.

[0122] The diversion channel can be designed as a multi-stage structure. For example, the first-stage diversion channel is used for preliminary water collection, and the second-stage diversion channel is used for fine filtering of impurities in the water. This not only improves the efficiency of water transportation, but also ensures that the water is fully purified before entering the water guide assembly 400, thereby improving water quality.

[0123] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the water guide assembly 400 includes a first tube body 410, a second tube body 420, a transfer tube 430, and a drain pump 440. One end of the first tube body 410 is used to obtain water in the water receiving chamber 310, and the other end is connected to the drain pump 440. One end of the second tube body 420 is connected to the end of the drain pump 440 away from the first tube body 410, and the other end is detachably connected to the transfer tube 430. The end of the transfer tube 430 away from the second tube body 420 is detachably connected to the water tank 100 and communicates with the water guide hole 112. The first tube body 410 can be made of corrosion-resistant material to adapt to long-term use under different water quality conditions. The second tube body 420 can be made of a hose or a hard pipe, depending on the spatial layout and installation requirements of the equipment. In some embodiments, the first tube body 410 and the second tube body 420 are made of the same material. The connection between the transfer tube 430 and the second tube body 420 and the water tank 100 can be a threaded connection, a snap connection or other detachable connection methods to facilitate user maintenance and replacement.

[0124] The drain pump 440 can provide power to transport the moisture in the water receiving cavity 310 through the first pipe body 410 and the second pipe body 420 to the water tank 100. The drain pump 440 can adopt, but is not limited to, an electric pump, a pneumatic pump, etc., and the specific selection depends on the power requirement and cost consideration of the equipment to improve the use comfort and energy saving effect of the equipment.

[0125] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the first pipe body 410 and the second pipe body 420 can also be made of different materials and structures to adapt to different use environments. For example, the first pipe body 410 can be made of flexible material to adapt to the irregular shape in the water receiving cavity 310, ensuring complete extraction of moisture. The second pipe body 420 can be made of rigid material to ensure the stability of water flow and pressure resistance.

[0126] The adapter pipe 430 can be designed as a multi-section structure, and quick connectors can be used between each section of the adapter pipe 430 to facilitate user disassembly and cleaning. The inner wall of the adapter pipe 430 can be provided with an anti-fouling coating to prevent the accumulation of scale and prolong the service life of the equipment.

[0127] The drain pump 440 can be equipped with an overheat protection device that automatically cuts off power when the drain pump 440 overheats to prevent equipment damage. The drain pump 440 can also be equipped with a flow sensor to monitor water flow speed and flow in real time, ensuring normal operation of the equipment under various working conditions. This not only improves the reliability and durability of the equipment, but also enhances the intelligent level of the equipment.

[0128] In addition, the water guide assembly 400 can also be equipped with a transparent observation window through which the user can directly observe the moisture transport situation to ensure normal operation of the equipment. The observation window can be designed to be detachable to facilitate regular cleaning by the user, maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment.

[0129] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the adapter pipe 430 can be designed in a multi-interface form, i.e., one adapter pipe 430 can connect multiple water tanks 100 to adapt to large-scale dehumidification equipment 10 or multi-room use scenarios to achieve centralized collection and management of moisture. To further improve the reliability and safety of the system, a flow sensor can be provided between the first pipe body 410 and the second pipe body 420 to monitor the water flow state in real time, and once an abnormal situation (such as blockage or leakage) is detected, an alarm or automatic shutdown can be issued in time to avoid causing greater losses.

[0130] In some embodiments, the dehumidifier 10 has a top wall, which includes the upper end surface of the water tank 100. In other words, in this embodiment, the upper end surface of the water tank 100 constitutes at least a portion of the entire top wall of the dehumidifier 10. The upper end surface of the water tank 100 can be equivalent to the top wall of the dehumidifier 10, or it can be a portion of the top wall of the dehumidifier 10. In this embodiment, the water tank 100 is at least partially positioned above the dehumidifier 10, placing it at a higher position. This allows the user to disassemble and assemble the water tank 100 in a more comfortable position without having to bend excessively.

[0131] In the above embodiment, the water tank 100 only needs to be at least partially located at the top of the dehumidification device 10. Vertically, the water tank 100 can extend from the upper end of the dehumidification device 10 to the lower end of the dehumidification device 10, or the water tank 100 can be located only at the upper end of the dehumidification device 10. Specifically, in some embodiments, the dehumidification device 10 has an upper half and a lower half, and the water tank 100 is located in the upper half. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the upper half and the lower half are separated by a dividing plane, the dividing plane is arranged horizontally, and the vertical distance between the dividing plane and the topmost position of the dehumidification device 10 is equal to the vertical distance between the dividing plane and the bottommost position of the dehumidification device 10.
