For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0029] Referring to Figs. 1 to 4 The utility model discloses a dehumidifier water tank, install on dehumidifier body 4, dehumidifier water tank includes box 1 and box cover 2 and set up in the liquid level detection subassembly 3 of box 1, the main container of storing water of box 1, the main function of box 1 is to contain and save water quality, simultaneously provide enough space to store the water amount required. Box cover 2 is located at the top of box 1, and box cover 2 is mainly used for closing box 1 to prevent water in box 1 from leaking out. The liquid level detection component 3 is used for monitoring the water inflow of the water tank.
[0030] Specifically, the middle part of the box cover 2 is provided with a water collecting groove 21, and a through hole 22 is formed in the center of the water collecting groove 21. The condensed water generated by the dehumidifier enters the box 1 through the through hole 22 of the water collecting groove 21. In this embodiment, the water collecting groove 21 is a groove with high edges and low center. An outlet pipe (not shown in the figure) is arranged above the water collecting groove 21 of the dehumidifier. The outlet pipe guides the condensed water of the dehumidifier to flow into the water collecting groove 21 and then into the box.
[0031] Specifically, the liquid level detection component 3 includes a float 31, a float limiting groove 32 and a limiting piece 34. In a liquid, the buoyancy acting on the float 31 is proportional to the volume of the liquid displaced by the float 31. When the water level of the liquid rises, the float 31 will rise due to the action of the buoyancy. Conversely, when the water level drops, the float 31 will sink. By monitoring the position change of the float 31, the water level of the liquid can be indirectly measured.
[0032] Specifically, the float limiting groove 32 is arranged on the inner wall of the box 1, and the float 31 is placed in the float limiting groove 32, so that the float 31 can be limited in the float limiting groove 32. In the embodiment, the float 31 has magnetism, and the body of the dehumidifier is provided with a water discharge control switch (not shown in the figure), a circuit board (not shown in the figure), and a wireless induction switch (not shown in the figure) cooperating with the float. The wireless induction switch and the water discharge control switch are connected through the circuit board. The water discharge control switch is arranged on the key plate 41 of the shell of the dehumidifier body 4, and is used for controlling the switch of the wireless induction switch. The water level groove 33 is communicated with the float limiting groove 32, and the float limiting groove 32 is provided with a limiting piece 34 for limiting the highest position of the float 31 in the box 1 (i.e. detecting the liquid level).
[0033] Further, the box 1 is further provided with a surrounding wall 12, and the surrounding wall 12 and the first surface 13 of the box 1 form a water outlet channel 14. The lower part of the water outlet channel 14 is connected with a water outlet hole 141, and the water outlet hole 141 is connected with a drain pipe (not shown in the figure). The top end of the surrounding wall 12 is higher than the position of the bottom 341 of the limiting piece 34 (the highest position of the float).
[0034] In the embodiment, the limiting piece 34 is arranged to limit the highest position of the float in the box 1, and the top end of the surrounding wall 12 is higher than the position of the bottom 341 of the limiting piece 34 (i.e. the highest position of the float 31). When the water discharge control switch is opened, the wireless induction switch can cooperate with the float 31. When the water level reaches the highest position of the float in the box 1, the float 31 contacts the bottom 341 of the limiting piece 34, and the wireless induction switch sends a signal, so that the dehumidifier stops working. When the water discharge control switch is closed, the wireless induction switch is disconnected from the float 31. When the water level exceeds the top end of the surrounding wall 12, the condensed water can be discharged through the water outlet hole 141 of the water outlet channel 14.
[0035] In the embodiment, the bottom of the water tank of the dehumidifier is not provided with a water discharge hole, so that the phenomenon of water leakage when the water discharge hole is used again after being forgotten to be blocked is avoided. When the water level of the condensed water exceeds the highest detection water level, the condensed water can enter the water outlet channel 14 and be discharged in time through the water outlet hole 141, so that the problem that the water is easy to overflow when the water in the box is cleaned is avoided.
