[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and it should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to explain and illustrate the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0023] In a first aspect, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a water tank cover 100 of a dehumidifier water tank, which aims to effectively solve the technical problem of water splashing when pouring accumulated water in the water tank cover of the prior art, and improve user experience.

[0024] Specifically, the water tank cover 100 is a shell structure with a generally horizontal top surface, and the upper surface constitutes the top surface of the water tank cover 100. In a local area of the water tank cover 100, generally at the outer edge position of the water tank cover 100, a water outlet 10 for pouring accumulated water in the water tank is provided. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the water outlet 10 is arranged at the corner near one end of the water tank cover 100, and the water outlet 10 is not directly opened on the top surface of the water tank cover 100, but is recessed relative to the top surface of the water tank cover 100, that is, the water inlet position of the water outlet 10 is lower than the horizontal plane where the top surface of the water tank cover 100 is located, forming a sunken structure to avoid water hanging phenomenon.

[0025] The drainage opening 10 is divided into multiple water isolation grooves 20 by the bone position inside the drainage opening 10, and the multiple water isolation grooves 20 are arranged in sequence along the pouring direction of the dehumidifier water tank. The pouring direction of the dehumidifier water tank can be, but is not limited to, parallel to the width direction of the dehumidifier water tank. In a specific implementation, the number of water isolation grooves 20 is three. In this way, when the dehumidifier water tank is in a full water state, the multi-water isolation groove 20 structure design can effectively divide and reduce the area of the water surface, reduce the fluctuation amplitude of the water in the shaking or pouring process, thereby significantly reducing the probability of water splashing, and achieving the effect of preventing water splashing. In addition, the mouth of each water isolation groove 20 is provided with a first drainage wall 30, and the first drainage wall 30 extends upwardly inclined in the pouring direction of the dehumidifier water tank, that is, part of the first drainage wall 30 is located above the corresponding water isolation groove 20. In this way, when the user takes out the dehumidifier water tank and performs the operation of pouring the accumulated water, the water flow gushing out of the water tank will inevitably impact the first drainage wall 30 when trying to pour out of the water isolation groove 20. Since the first drainage wall 30 extends upwardly inclined, it can effectively change the original movement direction of the water flow, accurately guide the water flow that can be scattered upward or around to flow downward or in the predetermined direction inclined, thereby maximizing the possibility of inhibiting the upward or lateral splashing of the water splash, and ultimately achieving a significantly improved splash-proof effect.

[0026] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 the bottom end of the first drainage wall 30 is connected with a second drainage wall 40, and the second drainage wall 40 extends vertically downward. The second drainage wall 40 effectively deepens the depth of each water isolation groove 20, so that even if the user pours at too large an angle, causing the pouring direction of the water flow to be consistent with the inclination angle of the drainage surface 30, or the impact force of the water flow is too large, causing the water flow to directly splash out of the drainage opening 10, the deepened depth of the water isolation groove 20 greatly increases the space for water flow buffering, which can further constrain and guide the water flow to contact the second drainage wall 40, thereby reducing water splashing. In a specific implementation, the first drainage wall 30 and the second drainage wall 40 are smoothly transitioned, which can avoid a large impact and resistance of the water flow at the turning point, so that the water flow can flow more smoothly, thereby improving the water flow pouring efficiency.

[0027] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown, the vertical lengths of the two adjacent second drainage walls 40 are different, and the vertical lengths of the second drainage walls 40 are arranged in an alternating long-short manner. In a specific embodiment, three second drainage walls 40 are provided, that is, the second drainage wall 40 in the middle is relatively long. In this way, during pouring, the alternating long-short second drainage walls 40 can break the uniformity of the water flow, reduce the speed and impact force of the water flow, and more effectively guide the water flow into the water tank 20, thereby reducing the possibility of splashing. It can be understood that four or more second drainage walls 40 can also be provided. In an embodiment, the vertical lengths of the second drainage walls 40 with shorter vertical lengths are equal, and the vertical lengths of the second drainage walls 40 with longer vertical lengths are equal, that is, the plurality of second drainage walls 40 are divided into two groups, the vertical lengths of the second drainage walls 40 in the first group are equal, the vertical lengths of the second drainage walls 40 in the second group are equal, and the vertical lengths of the second drainage walls 40 in the first group are shorter than the vertical lengths of the second drainage walls 40 in the second group.

[0028] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 The farthest water tank cover 100 from the outer edge of the water tank cover 100 is provided with a vertically extending baffle 50, and the height position of the bottom end of the baffle 50 is lower than or equal to the height position of the bottom end of each second drainage wall 40. The arrangement of the baffle 50 can prevent the water flow from directly flowing out of the water tank 20 farthest from the outer edge of the water tank cover 100 at the initial stage of pouring, forming an additional physical barrier and further reducing the risk of splashing.

[0029] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 The vertical projection of the first drainage wall 30 of the subsequent water tank 20 at least partially overlaps the vertical projection of the first drainage wall 30 of the previous water tank 20 in the direction of pouring of the dehumidifier water tank. With this structural design, the vertical projection of the first drainage wall 30 of the subsequent water tank 20 can cover the opening of the previous water tank 20, which means that during pouring, when the water flow is discharged from the water tank 20 between the two first drainage walls 30, it will not directly flow out of the drain 10, but will impact the back of the first drainage wall 30 of the subsequent water tank 20 and be deflected there, and then be guided downward to contact the first drainage wall 30 of the previous water tank 20, thereby slowing down the speed and impact force of the water flow, making the water flow more stable, and reducing the splashing caused by excessive impact force of the water flow.

[0030] In some embodiments, the water tank cover 100 is a one-piece structure made of PE soft rubber material. Specifically, the entire water tank cover 100 is injection molded by PE soft rubber material at one time, without any assembly steps, greatly simplifying the production process and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0031] In a second aspect, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 The water tank cover of the dehumidifier water tank is made of the integrally formed PE soft glue material, which significantly reduces the number of parts and assembly processes, effectively controls the production cost, and achieves the low-cost manufacturing goal. At the same time, thanks to the design of the sunken water outlet, combined with the multi-stage water separation groove inside the water outlet, the drainage wall water blocking and the drainage wall drainage structure of the edge of the water outlet, the problem of water splashing during the pouring of accumulated water can be significantly reduced or even avoided, the anti-splashing performance of the product is effectively improved, and the user experience is improved.

[0032] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The outer edge of the tank body 200 is provided with a first eave 201, and the outer edge of the water tank cover 100 is provided with an outward flange. The outward flange and the outer peripheral wall of the water tank cover 100 form a downward-opening sealing groove 101. The inner wall of the sealing groove 101 is provided with a second eave 102 matched with the first eave 201. When the water tank cover 100 is covered on the tank body 200, the first eave 201 and the second eave 102 are buckled with each other. The downward opening of the sealing groove 101, combined with the good flexibility of the PE soft glue material of the water tank cover 100, enables the water tank cover 100 to be tightly attached to the opening edge of the dehumidifier water tank through the sealing groove 101, forming a good sealing effect and preventing leakage of the water tank during pouring. In actual use scenarios, when the user needs to take out the water tank from the dehumidifier, the water tank cover 100 can be easily detached from the tank body 200 by applying a certain force, which is simple and convenient to operate. Moreover, this buckling structure can ensure that the water tank cover 100 will not easily fall off during pouring of the water tank, thereby avoiding liquid spilling caused by the falling off of the water tank cover.

[0033] In a third aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a dehumidifier comprising the dehumidifier water tank of any one of the embodiments of the second aspect. Those skilled in the art can clearly understand that, for the convenience and brevity of description, the specific working process of the dehumidifier described above can refer to the corresponding process in the foregoing dehumidifier water tank embodiments, which will not be described here.

[0034] The water tank cover, the dehumidifier water tank and the dehumidifier provided by the embodiments can significantly reduce or even avoid the problem of water splashing during the pouring of accumulated water, effectively improve the anti-splashing performance of the product, and improve the user experience.
