Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifier drainage, and in particular to a dehumidifier drainage structure that prevents clogging. Background Technology
[0002] The drainage structure of a dehumidifier typically includes a water collection tank or a direct drain interface for collecting and draining the condensate produced during the dehumidification process. Moisture in the air condenses into water droplets on the surface of the evaporator through the cooling process, and then flows into the water collection tank below or is discharged directly through a connected drain pipe.
[0003] In the existing dehumidifier drainage structure, without effective anti-clogging design or regular maintenance, dust and sediment in the water can easily accumulate in the drain pipe or the bottom of the water tank, eventually causing blockages, affecting drainage efficiency and potentially leading to overflow risks. This not only reduces the equipment's working efficiency but may also increase the user's burden due to the need for frequent manual cleaning.
[0004] Therefore, in the case of existing dehumidifier drainage structures, without effective anti-clogging design or regular maintenance, dust and sediment in the water can easily accumulate at the bottom of the drain pipe or water tank, eventually causing blockage. To address this, an anti-clogging dehumidifier drainage structure can be designed, with scrapers installed to prevent sediment from clogging the system. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that existing dehumidifiers' drainage structures, lacking effective anti-clogging designs or regular maintenance, allow dust and sediment in the water to easily accumulate in the drain pipes or at the bottom of the water tank, eventually leading to blockages.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a dehumidifier drainage structure for preventing clogging, including a dehumidifier body; it also includes an annular scraper and a long scraper. A motor is fixedly connected to the upper part of the dehumidifier body. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. An annular scraper is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod. The annular scraper is slidably connected to the interior of the dehumidifier body. A motor is fixedly connected to the lower part of the dehumidifier body. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A long scraper is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod. The long scraper is slidably connected to the bottom side of the interior of the dehumidifier body. A drip pipe is fixedly connected to the interior of the dehumidifier body. Multiple water outlet holes are evenly spaced on the outer surface of the drip pipe. A water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the lower rear end of the dehumidifier body. A water plug is threadedly connected to the rear end of the water outlet pipe.
[0007] Preferably, starting motor one drives threaded rod one to rotate, causing the annular scraper to scrape the inner wall of the dehumidifier body. At the same time, starting motor two drives threaded rod two to drive long scraper to scrape the bottom of the dehumidifier body for cleaning. Then, the water plug is removed to allow water to flow out from the outlet pipe. This solves the problem that in the existing dehumidifier drainage structure, without effective anti-clogging design or regular maintenance, dust and sediment in the water can easily accumulate in the drain pipe or the bottom of the water collection tank, eventually causing blockage.
[0008] Preferably, four casters are fixedly connected to the bottom of the dehumidifier body, and fixed plates are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the dehumidifier body respectively.
[0009] Preferably, a motor is installed on the left side of the dehumidifier body, and the motor is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.
[0010] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the dehumidifier body, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.
[0011] Preferably, the threaded rod three is rotatably connected to the left fixed block, and a U-shaped support frame is provided at the bottom of the dehumidifier body, with the threaded rod three threadedly connected to the U-shaped support frame.
[0012] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixedly connected between the right-side fixing plate and the right-side fixing block, and the limiting rod is slidably connected to the U-shaped support frame.
[0013] Preferably, an operation panel is fixedly connected to the front end of the dehumidifier body, multiple air intake slots are opened at the front end of the dehumidifier body, and multiple air outlet slots are opened at the top of the dehumidifier body.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] By starting motor one, which drives threaded rod one to rotate, the annular scraper scrapes against the inner wall of the dehumidifier body. At the same time, starting motor two drives threaded rod two to drive a long scraper to scrape against the bottom of the dehumidifier body for cleaning. Then, the water plug is removed to allow water to flow out from the outlet pipe. This solves the problem that in the existing dehumidifier drainage structure, without effective anti-clogging design or regular maintenance, dust and sediment in the water easily accumulate in the drain pipe or at the bottom of the water tank, eventually causing blockage.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of an anti-clogging dehumidifier drainage structure, comprising a dehumidifier body 1; and further comprising an annular scraper 4 and a long scraper 7. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the dehumidifier body 1. A threaded rod 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2. The annular scraper 4 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 3, and the annular scraper 4 is slidably connected to the interior of the dehumidifier body 1. A motor 5 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the dehumidifier body 1. A threaded rod 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5. The long scraper 7 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the threaded rod 6, and the long scraper 7 is slidably connected to the bottom side of the interior of the dehumidifier body 1. A drip tray is fixedly connected to the interior of the dehumidifier body 1. The outer surface of the water pipe 10 and the drip pipe 10 is provided with multiple water outlet holes 11 at equal intervals. The lower rear end of the dehumidifier body 1 is fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe 8, and the rear end of the water outlet pipe 8 is threadedly connected to the water plug 9. The starting motor 2 drives the threaded rod 3 to rotate, causing the annular scraper 4 to scrape on the inner wall of the dehumidifier body 1. At the same time, the starting motor 5 drives the threaded rod 6 to drive the long scraper 7 to scrape at the bottom of the dehumidifier body 1 for cleaning. Then the water plug 9 is removed to allow water to flow out from the water outlet pipe 8. This solves the problem that in the existing dehumidifier drainage structure, without an effective anti-clogging design or regular maintenance, dust and sediment in the water are prone to accumulate at the bottom of the drain pipe or water collection tank, eventually causing blockage.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment, four casters 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the dehumidifier body 1, and fixed plates 13 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the dehumidifier body 1 respectively. The dehumidifier body 1 moves through the casters 12. A motor 14 is provided on the left side of the dehumidifier body 1. The motor 14 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 13 and fixed on the fixed plate 13. Fixed blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the dehumidifier body 1 respectively. A threaded rod 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 14. The motor 14 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the threaded rod 15 is rotatably connected to the left fixed block 16. A U-shaped support frame 18 is provided at the bottom of the dehumidifier body 1. The threaded rod 15 is threadedly connected to the U-shaped support frame 18. The rotation of the threaded rod 15 drives the U-shaped support frame 18 to move. A limiting rod 17 is fixedly connected between the right fixed plate 13 and the right fixed block 16. The limiting rod 17 is slidably connected to the U-shaped support frame 18. The U-shaped support frame 18 slides on the limiting rod 17. An operation plate 19 is fixedly connected to the front end of the dehumidifier body 1. Multiple air intake slots 20 are opened at the front end of the dehumidifier body 1. Multiple air outlet slots 21 are opened at the top of the dehumidifier body 1. Air enters the dehumidifier body 1 from the air intake slots 20 and then flows out from the air outlet slots 21.
[0025] During operation, the dehumidifier body 1 is moved to the desired position via the casters 12. Starting the dehumidifier body 1 allows air to enter through the intake duct 20 and then flow out through the exhaust duct 21. Condensed water flows out from the bottom of the drip pipe 10. As the water level rises, the condensate flows out from different outlet holes 11, preventing dripping noise. After prolonged use, starting motor 2 drives the threaded rod 3 to rotate, causing the annular scraper 4 to scrape the inner wall of the dehumidifier body 1. Simultaneously, starting motor 5 drives the threaded rod 6 to drive the long scraper 7 to scrape the bottom of the dehumidifier body 1 for cleaning. Then, the water plug 9 is removed, allowing water to flow out from the outlet pipe 8. When the height of the dehumidifier body 1 prevents water from flowing into the appropriate treatment position, starting motor 3 14 drives the threaded rod 3 15 to rotate, moving the U-shaped support frame 18. The U-shaped support frame 18 slides on the limit rod 17, lifting the dehumidifier body 1 upwards.
[0026] Through the above steps, the condensed water flows out from the bottom of the drip pipe 10. After the water level rises, the condensate flows out from different water outlets 11, avoiding the sound of dripping water. After long-term use, the starting motor 2 drives the threaded rod 3 to rotate, causing the annular scraper 4 to scrape on the inner wall of the dehumidifier body 1. At the same time, the starting motor 5 drives the threaded rod 6 to drive the long scraper 7 to scrape the bottom of the dehumidifier body 1 for cleaning. Then, the water plug 9 is removed to allow the water to flow out from the water outlet pipe 8. This solves the problem that in the existing dehumidifier drainage structure, without an effective anti-clogging design or regular maintenance, dust and sediment in the water easily accumulate at the bottom of the drain pipe or water collection tank, eventually causing blockage.
