Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of dehumidifiers, and in particular to a dehumidifier for preventing frost on an evaporator. Background Art
[0002] A dehumidifier primarily consists of a compressor, condenser, evaporator, fan, and water tank. Its working principle is as follows: First, the fan draws moist air into the machine. As it passes through the evaporator, the moisture in the air is cooled and condenses into water droplets, which then flow into the water tank. The cooled, dry air is then heated by the condenser before being discharged, reducing the indoor humidity. This entire process repeats continuously, achieving effective dehumidification.
[0003] After searching, the announcement number is CN217004725U, which discloses a low-temperature dehumidifier capable of rapid defrosting, including a combination mechanism, a sliding mechanism, a threaded mechanism, and a protective mechanism. The bottom of the combination mechanism is provided with a sliding mechanism, the upper middle portion of the combination mechanism is provided with a threaded mechanism, and the interior of the threaded mechanism is provided with a protective mechanism. The combination mechanism includes a body, a handle, a swing blade, a panel, and a roller. The handles are provided on the left and right sides of the upper body, the top of the body is provided with a swing blade, and the sides of the swing blade are provided with a panel, and the bottom of the body is provided with rollers. The low-temperature dehumidifier capable of rapid defrosting has a heating rod provided inside the grille plate. When the temperature sensor detects that the external temperature is lower than a predetermined value, the panel will send a command to the heating rod to start heating the heating rod to prevent frost from forming inside the filter plate cover and the air inlet. At the same time, a silica gel drying layer is provided at the bottom of the grille plate to dry the air entering the body again.
[0004] However, when the evaporator of an existing dehumidifier frosts at a low temperature, a method often adopted is to add a heating device inside the dehumidifier to increase the temperature of the evaporator to achieve the purpose of reducing frost. However, the added heating device is bound to increase the production cost of the dehumidifier.
