Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifiers, and in particular to a drip-proof structure for a dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Existing dehumidifiers have a water tank at the bottom, into which water is drained from the dehumidifier. The tank stores water, and once it reaches a certain level, the water is either manually removed or pumped out. However, in current designs, if the dehumidifier is still running after removing the tank, excess water will fall into the chamber where the tank is placed. This necessitates cleaning the inner chamber of the dehumidifier, causing inconvenience for users. Furthermore, even when the dehumidifier is not running, the tank may shake during removal and replacement, potentially causing water from the upper water tank to fall into the inner chamber. Therefore, a simple, leak-proof structure is needed for the dehumidifier that seals the water outlet when removing the tank and opens it when replacing it. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a dehumidifier with a simple structure that can close the water outlet of the shell when the water tank is removed and open the water outlet of the shell when the water tank is put back.

[0005] The dehumidifier housing has an inner cavity at the bottom, and a water tank is installed inside the inner cavity. A water outlet is located at the top of the inner cavity, and a rotating connecting column is located on the side of the water outlet. The anti-drip structure is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting column.

[0006] One end of the anti-drip structure body is provided with a body plug adapted to the water outlet head of the shell, and the other end of the anti-drip structure body is provided with a body lever. The reset device is fixedly connected to the anti-drip structure body.

[0007] The water tank is equipped with a water tank lever that is compatible with the main body lever. When the water tank is placed in the inner cavity of the housing, the main body plug is disengaged from the water outlet of the housing by the cooperation of the water tank lever and the main body lever. After the water tank is removed from the inner cavity of the housing, the reset device drives the main body plug to close the water outlet of the housing.

[0008] Preferably, the reset device is a torsion spring.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-drip structure body has a rotating column in the middle, the torsion spring is wound around the outside of the rotating column, and the rotating column has a rotating column through hole in the middle. The anti-drip structure body is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting column by cooperating with the rotating connecting column through the rotating column through hole.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting groove is also provided in the inner cavity of the housing, and the rotation of the anti-drip structure body is limited by the cooperation of the limiting groove with the body lever.

[0011] Preferably, the plug of the main body is also provided with a plug connecting groove, and a sponge is provided in the plug connecting groove, so that the sponge can better seal the water outlet of the shell.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the anti-drip structure of this utility model dehumidifier are as follows:

[0013] 1. A dehumidifier with a drip-proof structure body equipped with a reset device, which can close the water outlet of the housing when the water tank is removed and open the water outlet of the housing when the water tank is put back.

[0014] 2. By setting a plug connection groove on the plug of the main body and placing a sponge in the plug connection groove, the water outlet of the shell can be better sealed. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0022] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of the anti-drip structure of the dehumidifier of this utility model is proposed:

[0024] A dehumidifier anti-drip structure includes an anti-drip structure body 1, a reset device 2, and a sponge 3.

[0025] The dehumidifier housing 4 has an inner cavity 41 at its bottom inner side. The water tank 5 is fitted inside the inner cavity 41. A water outlet 42 is located at the top inner side of the inner cavity 41, facing the outlet of the inner cavity 41. A water outlet hole 421 is located in the middle of the water outlet 42. A support platform 43 is located inside the inner cavity 41 on the side of the water outlet 42. A rotating connecting column 44 is located on the support platform 43. A limit groove 45 is located on the side of the rotating connecting column 44.

[0026] The anti-drip structure body 1 has a rotating column 11 in the middle. The reset device 2 is a torsion spring, which is wound around the outside of the rotating column 11. The rotating column 11 has a rotating column through hole 12 in the middle. The anti-drip structure body 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating connecting column 44 through the rotating column through hole 12 and the rotating connecting column 44.

[0027] One end of the anti-drip structure body 1 is provided with a body plug 14 that is adapted to the water outlet head 42 of the shell. The body plug 14 is provided with a plug connecting groove 15, and the sponge 3 is placed in the plug connecting groove 15. The sponge 3 can better seal the water outlet head 42 of the shell. The other end of the anti-drip structure body 1 is provided with a body lever 13. The rotation of the anti-drip structure body 1 is limited by the cooperation of the limiting groove 45 and the body lever 13.

[0028] The water tank 5 is equipped with a water tank lever 51 that matches the main body lever 13. When the water tank 5 is installed in the inner cavity 41 of the housing, the water tank lever 51 and the main body lever 13 work together to allow the main body plug 14 to move away from the housing outlet 42, so that water can normally enter the water tank 5 from the housing outlet 42. After the water tank 5 is removed from the inner cavity 41 of the housing, the reset device 2 drives the main body plug 14 to close the housing outlet 42.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
