[0043] The utility model discloses the realization, functional characteristics and advantages will be further described with reference to the embodiment, with the drawings. Specific implementation

[0044] The technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be described clearly and completely in the embodiment of the utility model, obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all the embodiment. Based on the embodiment in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skill in the art without making creative labor belong to the scope of the utility model protection.

[0045] In the related art, the water tank is located below the dehumidification equipment, and the user pulls the water tank horizontally to disassemble the water tank to remove the water stored in the water tank. Since the water tank is arranged at a lower position, the user needs to bend at a large angle when disassembling the water tank, and the overall weight of the water tank is relatively heavy when the water stored in the water tank is relatively large, so that the user is inconvenient to operate when disassembling the water tank.

[0046] In view of this, please refer to Figures 1 to 5The utility model provides a kind of dehumidification equipment 100.The dehumidification equipment 100 can be any equipment with dehumidification function, for example, dehumidification equipment 100 can be dehumidifier with only dehumidification function, can also be air conditioner and other equipment with dehumidification function.For easy description, the following is only with dehumidification function Household dehumidifier of dehumidification equipment 100 is illustrated by example.Dehumidification equipment 100 includes shell 110, dehumidification component 120 and water tank 130.Shell 110 is equipped with the recess 112 of upper end opening 111, the shell 110 is also equipped with the accommodating cavity 113 located below recess 112, shell 110 has annular end wall 114 located at upper end and arranged around opening 111.Shell 110 as the main support structure of dehumidification equipment 100 not only provides the division of equipment internal space, also ensures the overall stability and aesthetic property of equipment.

[0047] Dehumidification component 120 is arranged in accommodating cavity 113, and dehumidification component 120 is used to separate water in air to achieve the purpose of reducing environmental humidity.Dehumidification component 120 can separate water mist or water vapor in air in various ways, including but not limited to removing moisture from air by condensation or adsorption, etc.In the embodiment, dehumidification component 120 includes evaporator 121 and condenser 122 connected with each other, and water mist or water vapor in air is attached to the outer wall of evaporator 121 by low temperature lower than ambient temperature, so as to realize the separation of water and air and achieve the purpose of dehumidification.

[0048] Water tank 130 is at least partially arranged in recess 112 and detachably connected to shell 110, and water tank 130 is used to receive water separated by dehumidification component 120.Water tank 130 is exposed to opening 111, and water tank 130 can be detached from shell 110 at opening 111, so that when the amount of water stored in water tank 130 is too much, water tank 130 can be detached to remove water in water tank 130.In other words, the detachable connection of water tank 130 to shell 110 enables users to conveniently remove collected moisture.At least part of water tank 130 is arranged in recess 112 at the upper end of shell 110 (i.e., water tank 130 is arranged at the upper end of dehumidification equipment 100), which enables users to hold water tank 130 from a relatively higher position to detach water tank 130, compared with the scheme that water tank 130 is located at the lower end of dehumidification equipment 100, the angle of bending waist is smaller when users detach water tank 130, and the operation is more convenient, which not only improves user experience, but also effectively prevents water in water tank 130 from overflowing, and enhances the safety performance of dehumidification equipment 100.

[0049] In the vertical view, the water tank 130 is located in the annular end wall 114. Compared with the related art, the edge of the water tank 130 covers the top end of the shell 110 and protrudes from the side wall of the shell 110 to facilitate the stress of the water tank 130 during removal. In the present application, the water tank 130 is located in the annular end wall 114, which can effectively prevent the dehumidification equipment 100 from being lifted by external objects during operation, thereby effectively ensuring the continuity of the operation of the dehumidification equipment 100 and the safety during operation. In addition, the design of the location of the water tank 130 in the annular end wall 114 ensures the compactness and convenience of operation of the dehumidification equipment 100.

[0050] Specifically, since the recessed cavity 112 is located above the accommodation cavity 113, the water tank 130 is located in the upper region of the dehumidification equipment 100, and the user can hold the water tank 130 from a relatively higher position to detach the water tank 130 at the upper end opening 111. Compared with the scheme in which the water tank 130 is located at the lower end of the dehumidification equipment 100, the user's bending angle is smaller when detaching the water tank 130, and the operation is more convenient. In addition, in the present application, the water tank 130 is detached from the upper opening 111, and the user pulls the water tank 130 upward when detaching it, which is simpler than the related art in which the water tank 130 needs to be first moved horizontally and then pulled vertically. Further, in the present application, in the vertical view, the water tank 130 is located in the annular end wall 114. In other words, the water tank 130 can be completely located inside the recessed cavity 112, or the water tank 130 can also partially extend out of the recessed cavity 112 at the opening 111. When the upper end of the water tank 130 extends out of the recessed cavity 112, in the vertical view, the part of the water tank 130 extending out of the recessed cavity 112 is located in the annular end wall 114. In this scheme, the water tank 130 is less likely to interfere with the part of the annular end wall 114 of the shell 110, and the water tank 130 is less likely to rub against the shell 110 when being pulled up and down for disassembly, thereby preventing the outer wall of the water tank 130 or the annular end wall 114 from being worn, and ensuring the integrity of the appearance of the dehumidification equipment 100. At the same time, since the shell 110 is arranged around the outer periphery of the water tank 130, the outer periphery of the water tank 130 can be well protected by the shell 110, and the positioning stability of the shell 110 for the water tank 130 is better.

[0051] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the shell 110 can be made of various materials, including but not limited to plastic, metal, etc., to adapt to different use environments and cost requirements. To meet the aesthetic preferences of different users, the recessed cavity 112 of the shell 110 can be designed in a circular, square or other shape. The disassembly mode of the water tank 130 can be designed in various forms such as screwing or buckling to improve the convenience of use for users.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the dehumidification device 100 further comprises a display assembly 140 for displaying the working parameters of the dehumidification device 100, the display assembly 140 being connected to the housing 110 and exposed to the annular end wall 114. Specifically, compared with the parameter display of the dehumidifier in the related art which is arranged on the side, the display assembly 140 of the present application is arranged at the top end of the dehumidification device 100, so that the user can intuitively understand the running state of the dehumidification device 100 without bending over, thereby improving the user experience. It should be noted that the working parameters of the dehumidification device 100 include but are not limited to humidity, temperature, filter cleanliness, water tank 130 water volume and other important parameters, so as to timely adjust the working mode of the device or perform necessary maintenance. The display assembly 140 can include a display screen and an indicator light, the display screen protects the indicator light while improving the aesthetics of the dehumidification device 100, and the on-off state of the indicator light can real-time feedback the state of the dehumidification device 100, helping the user better manage and control the indoor environment. In addition, the display assembly 140 is designed to be exposed to the annular end wall 114, ensuring that the user can easily view the information even when the device is running, improving the practicality of the device.

[0053] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the display assembly 140 can adopt a liquid crystal display, an LED display screen or other types of display screens to provide different display effects and power consumption performance. The display assembly 140 can further integrate touch screen function, allowing the user to directly set and operate on the screen, improving the user experience. In some embodiments, the display assembly 140 can also integrate keys to improve the operability of the dehumidification device 100 by the user. In addition, the display assembly 140 can also have remote monitoring function, for example, it can be connected with a smartphone or tablet computer through a wireless communication module, allowing the user to grasp the working condition of the dehumidification device 100 anytime and anywhere. This not only increases the intelligent degree of the device, but also brings more convenience to the user.

[0054] In some embodiments, the dehumidification device 100 further comprises a control assembly 170 for controlling at least the dehumidification assembly 120, i.e. the control assembly 170 can be used to control the working state, working time, working temperature, etc. of the dehumidification assembly 120, and in addition, the control assembly 170 can also be used to control the compressor 160, sensors, valves, etc. provided in the dehumidification device 100. The control assembly 170 comprises an operation part which is exposed to the annular end wall 114 or receives control signals at the annular end wall 114. Specifically, in some embodiments, the operation part can comprise operation buttons which can be provided on the annular end wall 114, or the operation buttons can also be provided on the side of the housing 110 near the top end. In other embodiments, the operation part can also comprise a touch module which can be provided on the annular end wall 114 so that the user can conveniently control the working state of the dehumidification device 100 through the touch module. In yet other embodiments, the control assembly 170 comprises a display part and an operation part, the display part can comprise a display screen and the operation part comprises a touch module which can interact with the display screen. In other words, the display part and the operation part can jointly form a touch display module which can be provided on the annular end wall 114 to improve the operation convenience of the user.

[0055] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the control assembly 170 can comprise a microprocessor, a circuit board and other electronic components which work together to achieve precise control of the dehumidification assembly 120. The operation part is part of the control assembly 170 which can be in the form of a physical button, a touch screen or a knob, etc. and is exposed to the annular end wall 114 for easy operation by the user. The design of the operation part allows the user to make various settings and adjustments directly outside the dehumidification device 100 without the need to open the device housing, improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0056] The working principle of the control assembly 170 is as follows: when the user issues control signals through the operation part, these signals are transmitted to the microprocessor of the control assembly 170. The microprocessor controls the working state of the dehumidification assembly 120, such as starting, stopping, adjusting the dehumidification intensity, etc. through the circuit board according to the received signals. In addition, the control assembly 170 can also monitor the operating parameters of the dehumidification device 100, such as temperature, humidity, etc. and automatically adjust the working mode of the dehumidification assembly 120 according to these parameters to ensure the best dehumidification effect.

[0057] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the control component 170 can further integrate more functions, including but not limited to timing switch, fault alarm, etc. The operation part can be designed as a multi-language interface to meet the needs of users in different countries and regions. In addition, the control component 170 can also be connected with the smart phone or tablet through the wireless communication module, realizing remote control and monitoring, and further improving the intelligent level of the equipment. For example, users can view the running state of the equipment in real time, adjust the working mode, and even receive fault alarm information through the mobile phone application. This design not only facilitates users, but also improves the practicability and market competitiveness of the equipment.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the shell 110 also has an annular cavity 115 arranged around the outer periphery of the concave cavity 112, and the lower end of the annular cavity 115 is communicated with the containing cavity 113. The design of the annular cavity 115 makes full use of the space between the shell 110 and the water tank 130, reduces the arrangement difficulty of the water guide assembly 150, and can protect the water guide assembly 150, improve the appearance of the dehumidification equipment 100, and improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the dehumidification equipment 100, thereby reducing the volume of the dehumidification equipment 100.

[0059] The dehumidification equipment 100 also includes a water guide assembly 150, which includes a lower pipe section 151 and an upper pipe section 152. The lower pipe section 151 is arranged in the containing cavity 113 and is used to receive water separated by the dehumidification assembly 120, and the upper pipe section 152 is at least partially arranged in the annular cavity 115 and is used to be detachably connected to the water tank 130. Specifically, the lower pipe section 151 is arranged in the containing cavity 113 and is directly connected to the dehumidification assembly 120 for collecting separated water during the dehumidification process. The upper pipe section 152 is at least partially arranged in the annular cavity 115 and is detachably connected to the water tank 130. The upper pipe section 152 can guide the water collected by the lower pipe section 151 to the water tank 130 for temporary storage, thereby effectively improving the continuous working time of the dehumidification equipment 100. The connection mode of the water guide assembly 150 and the water tank 130 can also be diversified, for example, a quick connector, a buckle or a threaded connection can be used to facilitate users to disassemble and install. In order to further improve the reliability of the equipment, a flow sensor or a liquid level sensor can be arranged on the water guide assembly 150 to monitor the flow of water and the liquid level of the water tank 130 in real time, and timely remind the user to clean or replace the water tank 130.

[0060] The detachable design of the upper pipe segment 152 allows users to conveniently detach and clean the water tank 130, ensuring long-term stable operation of the device. In addition, the design of the annular cavity 115 also plays a certain sound insulation and heat insulation role, reducing the noise and heat conduction during the operation of the device, improving the user experience. The design of the annular cavity 115 and the water guide assembly 150 ensures that water can be efficiently and smoothly transferred from the dehumidification assembly 120 to the water tank 130, avoiding water retention inside the device and reducing the failure rate of the device.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the side plate of the water tank 130 near one side of the upper pipe segment 152 is provided with a recess 133 recessed towards the inside of the water tank 130, the recess 133 has a water guide hole 131 communicating with the annular cavity 115, and one end of the upper pipe segment 152 is inserted into the water guide hole 131 through the recess 133 to be connected to the water tank 130, and the other end is connected to the lower pipe segment 151. Such a design allows the water guide assembly 150 to accurately guide water into the water tank 130, avoiding water leakage and overflow. The design of the recess 133 provides a stable connection point for the water guide assembly 150, ensuring smooth water flow. In addition, the design of the recess 133 also makes the structure of the water tank 130 more compact, reducing the overall volume of the device. Specifically, the water tank 130 includes an upper plate body above the recess 133, the water guide hole 131 is provided in the upper plate body and has an inner cavity communicating with the recess 133 and the water tank 130, and one end of the water guide assembly 150 extends into the recess 133 and communicates with the inner cavity of the water tank 130 through the water guide hole 131. In some embodiments, the end of the water guide hole 131 near the inner cavity of the water tank 130 is provided with an annular protrusion 132, and the user can connect a water pipe to the annular protrusion 132 to communicate the water guide assembly 150, thereby directly guiding the water produced by the dehumidification assembly 120 out, reducing the frequency of detaching the water tank 130, and thereby improving the continuous working ability of the dehumidification device 100. In addition, the provision of the annular protrusion 132 is also beneficial to avoid backflow of condensed water in the water tank 130 to the water guide assembly 150, improving the safety of the device.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, the housing 110 is provided with an air inlet 116 and an air outlet 117 that communicate with the accommodation cavity 113. The dehumidification device 100 further comprises an air supply assembly arranged in the accommodation cavity 113, which is used to drive the airflow to enter the accommodation cavity 113 through the air inlet 116, flow through the dehumidification assembly 120, and then be guided out of the accommodation cavity 113 through the air outlet 117. At least one of the air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117 communicates with the recessed cavity 112. Specifically, the air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117 of the housing 110 are designed to ensure that the airflow can smoothly enter and exit the device, thereby achieving effective air circulation and dehumidification. The air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117 both communicate with the accommodation cavity 113, ensuring the flow path of the airflow inside the device. The air supply assembly is arranged in the accommodation cavity 113, which can include but is not limited to a fan or other similar device to drive the airflow, so that the air passes through the air inlet 116, the accommodation cavity 113, the dehumidification assembly 120, and the air outlet 117 in sequence, and finally exits the device.

[0063] The working principle of the air supply assembly is as follows: when the air supply assembly is started, the fan generates negative pressure to attract external air into the accommodation cavity 113 through the air inlet 116. The air flows through the dehumidification assembly 120 in the accommodation cavity 113, and the dehumidification assembly 120 separates the moisture from the air by condensation or adsorption. The treated dry air is then discharged from the device through the air outlet 117, completing a complete dehumidification process. The design of the air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117 can ensure smooth airflow and improve dehumidification efficiency. The air supply assembly drives the airflow through the dehumidification assembly 120, ensuring sufficient contact of the air during the dehumidification process and improving the dehumidification effect.

[0064] At least one of the air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117 communicates with the recessed cavity 112, so that the recessed cavity 112 can communicate with the external atmosphere through at least one of the air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117, thereby reducing the air pressure resistance of the water tank 130 during the process of taking out or placing into the recessed cavity 112, and further avoiding the probability of air pressure damage to internal components of the dehumidification device 100 during the process of taking out or placing into the recessed cavity 112.

[0065] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the shape and position of the air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different use environments and needs. For example, the air inlet 116 can be designed as a grid to reduce the entry of dust and debris, protecting the cleanliness of the interior of the device. The air outlet 117 can be designed as adjustable direction louvers to allow users to adjust the direction of the airflow as needed. In addition, the fan of the air supply assembly can be driven by a brushless DC motor to improve energy efficiency and reduce noise.

[0066] In some embodiments, the lower end of the recessed cavity 112 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 113, and the air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117 are both positioned in the lateral direction and coincide with the accommodating cavity 113. The design that the lower end of the recessed cavity 112 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 113 enables the recessed cavity 112 to be in communication with at least one of the air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117 through the accommodating cavity 113, so that air can flow freely between the recessed cavity 112 and the accommodating cavity 113, further reducing the air pressure resistance of the water tank 130 during the process of taking out or putting into the recessed cavity 112, ensuring the easy operation of the taking out and installation of the water tank 130 while ensuring the uniform distribution of air flow inside the dehumidification device 100, improving the dehumidification effect.

[0067] In other embodiments, a partition is arranged in the shell 110, and the partition is connected to the shell 110 and separates the recessed cavity 112 and the accommodating cavity 113. The lower side of the air inlet 116 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 113, and the upper side is in communication with the recessed cavity 112. The design of the partition can effectively separate the recessed cavity 112 and the accommodating cavity 113, prevent unnecessary mixing of air between the two cavities, and ensure the orderly flow of air flow. The position design of the air inlet 116 and the air outlet 117 makes the air flow more smooth when entering and discharging the device, reduces the resistance of the air flow, and improves the dehumidification efficiency of the device. The recessed cavity 112 can be in communication with the external atmosphere through the upper side of the air inlet 116 to ensure the smoothness of the water tank 130 when being taken out or put into the recessed cavity 112.

[0068] In yet other embodiments, a partition is arranged in the shell 110, and the partition is connected to the shell 110 and separates the recessed cavity 112 and the accommodating cavity 113. The lower side of the air outlet 117 is in communication with the accommodating cavity 113, and the upper side is in communication with the recessed cavity 112. The recessed cavity 112 can be in communication with the external atmosphere through the upper side of the air outlet 117 to balance the air pressure change during the process of taking out or putting into the recessed cavity 112 of the water tank 130, and reduce the air pressure resistance.

[0069] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the material of the partition can be selected from lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials such as aluminum alloy or plastic to ensure long-term stable use. The partition can also be designed to have sound absorption effect to reduce the noise during the operation of the dehumidification device 100 and improve the user experience.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the dehumidification device 100 further comprises a compressor 160 connected to the dehumidification assembly 120, which is installed in the accommodation cavity 113 located below the concave cavity 112. That is, the accommodation cavity 113 is internally provided with the dehumidification assembly 120 and the compressor 160, wherein the dehumidification assembly 120 is arranged around the outer periphery of the compressor 160. Such a structural design enables the dehumidification assembly 120 to effectively utilize the cold generated by the compressor 160, thereby improving the dehumidification efficiency. It should be noted that the compressor 160, as the core component of the refrigeration cycle, raises the temperature and pressure of the working medium (including but not limited to refrigerant) by compression, and then sends the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas into the condenser 122 to cool and release heat, and then becomes liquid. The liquid refrigerant then enters the evaporator 121, where it absorbs heat from the environment to evaporate into gas, thereby realizing the condensation and separation of moisture in the air. Therefore, arranging the dehumidification assembly 120 around the compressor 160 not only optimizes the spatial layout, but also ensures that the cold generated by the compressor 160 is fully utilized, thereby improving the overall performance of the dehumidification device 100 and reducing energy consumption.

[0071] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the compressor 160 can include but is not limited to a rotary compressor 160, a scroll compressor 160, etc., and the specific type of compressor 160 can be selected according to the dehumidification requirements. In addition, under the premise of ensuring that the dehumidification assembly 120 is arranged around the outer periphery of the compressor 160, the relative position between the compressor 160 and the dehumidification assembly 120 can be adjusted to adapt to dehumidification devices 100 of different sizes and shapes. For example, the compressor 160 can be placed at the center of the dehumidification assembly 120, or arranged eccentrically. In some cases, in order to further improve the heat exchange efficiency, heat-conducting materials or heat sinks can be added between the compressor 160 and the dehumidification assembly 120 to enhance the transfer of heat, thereby improving the dehumidification efficiency.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 2In some embodiments, the dehumidification assembly 120 includes an evaporator 121 and a condenser 122 connected to each other, both of which are arranged around the outer periphery of the compressor 160. The evaporator 121 is located on the side of the condenser 122 away from the compressor 160, and such an arrangement helps to form a closed refrigeration cycle path. When the compressor 160 is working, the refrigerant is first condensed into a liquid in the condenser 122, and then flows into the evaporator 121, where it absorbs heat from the air and evaporates into a gas. The moisture in the air is thus condensed into liquid water. Since the evaporator 121 is located on the side of the condenser 122 away from the compressor 160, this helps to reduce the impact of heat generated by the condenser 122 on the evaporator 121, ensuring efficient operation of the evaporator 121. By arranging the evaporator 121 and the condenser 122 around the outer periphery of the compressor 160 (i.e., the compressor 160 is located in the space enclosed by the evaporator 121 and the condenser 122), not only does it improve dehumidification efficiency, but it also enhances the stability and reliability of the equipment, reducing the failure rate caused by poor heat exchange.

[0073] In other embodiments, the dehumidification assembly 120 is located on one side of the compressor 160 in the circumferential direction, and the dehumidification device 100 further includes a control assembly 170 that can be used to control at least the dehumidification assembly 120. In addition to including an operating part for direct operation, such as a physical button or knob, the control assembly 170 can also integrate a touch screen or a remote control system, providing more flexible and diverse control methods. For example, the operating part can be a panel with a liquid crystal display screen, and the user can set parameters such as dehumidification mode and humidity target value through the touch screen. In addition, the control assembly 170 can also support connection with a smartphone or other smart devices through wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, enabling remote control and monitoring. The control assembly 170 also includes an electric control box 171 located on the other side of the compressor 160 in the circumferential direction, which helps to balance the weight distribution inside the dehumidification device 100, while also facilitating heat dissipation of the electric control box 171, ensuring normal operation of electronic components. In addition, the relative position of the electric control box 171 and the dehumidification assembly 120 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different models and specifications of the dehumidification device 100.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the housing 110 includes a base 118 to which the dehumidification assembly 120 is connected. The base 118 is provided with a water receiving cavity 1181 with an opening 111 facing upwards, and the dehumidification assembly 120 is located above the water receiving cavity 1181, which can be used to receive the moisture separated by the dehumidification assembly 120. The water in the water receiving cavity 1181 can be guided into the water tank 130 for temporary storage by the water guiding assembly 150 to improve the continuous working capacity of the dehumidification device 100. Specifically, the water receiving cavity 1181 is located below the dehumidification assembly 120, and the dehumidification assembly 120 will condense the moisture in the air into liquid water during operation, and these water droplets will naturally fall into the water receiving cavity 1181. The design of the water receiving cavity 1181 not only facilitates the collection of moisture generated during the dehumidification process, but also ensures that all condensed water can be effectively collected by being arranged below the dehumidification assembly 120, so that leakage does not occur. The arrangement of the water receiving cavity 1181 simplifies the internal structure of the dehumidification device 100, reduces the complexity of the water path, and also improves the reliability and maintenance convenience of the device. When the water tank 130 needs to be emptied or replaced, the water tank 130 can be removed from the recess 112 without the need to disassemble other components.

[0075] It can be understood that, in some embodiments, the base 118 can be made of a corrosion-resistant material, such as stainless steel or plastic, to prevent rust caused by long-term contact with moisture. The shape of the water receiving cavity 1181 can be rectangular, circular or other suitable shapes, depending on the shape and size of the water tank 130. In order to increase the capacity of the water receiving cavity 1181, a multi-layer structure can be designed inside the base 118, for example, the water receiving cavity 1181 can be divided into multiple small chambers, each chamber is responsible for collecting condensed water from different areas, which can increase the total capacity of the water receiving cavity 1181 and reduce the frequency of cleaning the water tank 130. In addition, the bottom of the water receiving cavity 1181 can be provided with an inclined surface to facilitate the flow of water to the water tank 130 and avoid water accumulation.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the base 118 is also provided with a flow guiding channel 1182 located on the outer periphery of the water receiving cavity 1181 and in communication with the water receiving cavity 1181. A filter portion 1183 is provided between the flow guiding channel 1182 and the water receiving cavity 1181 for filtering out impurities that may be entrained in the condensed water. The dehumidification device 100 further includes a water guiding assembly 150, one end of which is in communication with the flow guiding channel 1182 and the other end is in communication with the water tank 130. The water guiding assembly 150 can guide the condensed water in the water receiving cavity 1181 to the water tank 130, ensuring that the water receiving cavity 1181 does not accumulate too much condensed water to cause overflow, thereby causing the internal components of the dehumidification device 100 to be contaminated or even damaged, further improving the operating efficiency and safety of the dehumidification device 100.

[0077] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the filter part 1183 can adopt a multi-layer filter screen or filter element to improve the filtering precision. For example, the filter part 1183 can include a coarse filter screen and a fine filter screen, the coarse filter screen is used to intercept larger impurities, and the fine filter screen is used to intercept small particulate matters. In addition, the filter part 1183 can be designed to be detachable for regular cleaning or replacement. The water guide assembly 150 can adopt a hose or a hard pipe, depending on the structure and use environment of the device. In order to ensure the reliable connection of the water guide assembly 150, a quick connector can be arranged at both ends of the water guide assembly 150 for convenient installation and disassembly. In some cases, the water guide assembly 150 can also be provided with a flow regulating valve to control the flow rate of the condensed water and prevent the water tank 130 from overflowing.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the base 118 is provided with a baffle 1184 between the water guide channel 1182 and the water receiving cavity 1181, and the baffle 1184 is provided with a water guide opening 1185 communicating the water receiving cavity 1181 and the water guide channel 1182. The baffle 1184 is provided with a first insertion slot 1186 penetrating upward on one side and a second insertion slot 1187 penetrating upward on the other side. The transverse sides of the filter part 1183 are respectively inserted into the first insertion slot 1186 and the second insertion slot 1187. Such a structure design ensures that the condensed water can be effectively filtered before flowing into the water guide channel 1182, preventing impurities from entering the water tank 130.

[0079] The baffle 1184 serves to separate the water receiving cavity 1181 and the water guide channel 1182, and at the same time provides a stable platform so that the filter part 1183 can be firmly installed in the designated position. Through the arrangement of the first insertion slot 1186 and the second insertion slot 1187, the filter part 1183 can be firmly connected to the baffle 1184 to ensure effective filtration of the condensed water. In some embodiments, the filter part 1183 is detachably connected to the baffle 1184 for easy cleaning and replacement. In other embodiments, the filter part 1183 is fixed to the baffle 1184, and the fixing methods include but are not limited to gluing, screw fastening, etc.

[0080] Specifically, the design of the baffle 1184 and the filter part 1183 not only improves the cleanliness of the water tank 130 and prolongs the service life of the water tank 130, but also simplifies the maintenance process and improves the user experience. In addition, this structure design can also effectively prevent the condensed water from accumulating too much in the water receiving cavity 1181, ensuring the stable operation of the dehumidification device 100.

[0081] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the baffle 1184 can be made of corrosion-resistant materials, including but not limited to stainless steel, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and the like, to prevent rust caused by long-term contact with moisture. The shape of the first and second slots 1186 and 1187 can be designed as square, circular, or other suitable shapes to accommodate different types of filter parts 1183. In order to improve the filtering effect, a pre-filter screen can be provided at the front end of the filter part 1183 to intercept larger impurities and reduce the burden on the main filter layer. In addition, a plurality of holes can be provided on the baffle 1184 to increase the path of water flow and improve the drainage efficiency. In order to ensure the sealing of the filter part 1183, a sealing ring can be provided on the edge of the slot to prevent condensate from leaking from the edge of the slot.

[0082] The shape of the opening 111 at the upper end of the shell 110 includes but is not limited to a circular shape, a rectangular shape, a polygonal shape, a special shape, and the like. The shape of the annular end wall 114 can be the same as or different from the shape of the opening 111, and the shape of the water tank 130 can be the same as the shape of the opening 111. For ease of description, the opening 111 is taken as an example of a circular port, the annular end wall 114 is taken as a circular ring wall, the outer peripheral wall of the water tank 130 is taken as a cylindrical surface, and the outer peripheral wall of the shell 110 is also taken as a cylindrical surface. Such a design makes the appearance of the entire dehumidification device 100 more concise and beautiful, and also facilitates the installation and removal of the water tank 130. The design of the circular port and the circular ring wall ensures that the water tank 130 can be smoothly taken out from the opening 111 without the need for additional space. The cylindrical surface design of the water tank 130 makes it cooperate more closely with the annular end wall 114, reducing the risk of condensate leakage.

[0083] The shell 110 is also provided with an air outlet 117, which is arranged at least around half of the outer periphery of the shell 110. The design of the air outlet 117 ensures that the airflow can be uniformly discharged, improving the dehumidification efficiency. The position and shape of the air outlet 117 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different use environments and installation conditions.

[0084] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the top end of the water tank 130 can be provided with a holding structure so that the user can grasp the holding structure to pull the water tank 130 out of the recess 112. The diameter of the circular port can be adjusted according to the size of the water tank 130 to ensure that the water tank 130 can be smoothly installed and removed. The shape of the air outlet 117 can be a long strip, a circle, or a polygon, depending on the appearance design of the device and the airflow requirements. In order to improve the exhaust effect of the air outlet 117, a flow guide plate or a grille can be provided at the air outlet 117 to guide the direction and speed of the airflow. In addition, the air outlet 117 can also be equipped with an adjustable air door, which can be adjusted by the user according to the needs to adjust the opening degree of the air outlet 117 to adapt to different use scenarios.
