Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to heat exchange device technical field especially, relates to a condensate seal structure and rotary dehumidifier. BACKGROUND
[0002] The principle of rotary dehumidifier is that the air outside the machine is heated into high-temperature and high-humidity air, and the high-temperature and high-humidity air is delivered to the condenser to condense into water droplets, so as to achieve the purpose of removing water in the air. The condenser has a condensing pipe, a wind cavity communicated with the condensing pipe, and a drain pipe communicated with the wind cavity. When the high-temperature and high-humidity gas passes through the condensing pipe, the condensed water droplets will accumulate in the wind cavity, and the water droplets will be discharged outside through the drain pipe. The drain pipe connects the external environment and the wind cavity, which is not conducive to the whole air circulation system. Because when the gas enters the wind cavity, part of the external air will be sucked into the wind cavity from the drain pipe, and when the gas is discharged from the wind cavity, part of the hot gas flow will be discharged to the outside from the drain pipe, which reduces the efficiency of the fan driving the gas flow into and out of the wind cavity, and reduces the overall dehumidification capacity of the dehumidifier.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 3The utility model discloses a condensate water seal structure, which comprises a shell 100, a drain pipe 200 arranged in the shell 100 and connected with an inner cavity of the shell 100, and a water storage container 300 arranged outside the drain pipe 200.
[0031] When the condensate water droplets in the shell 100 are discharged outward from the drain pipe 200, the water enters the water storage groove 310 of the water storage container 300. When the water in the water storage groove 310 rises to the output end of the drain pipe 200, the communication port 320 is isolated from the output end of the drain pipe 200, and gas cannot enter or leave the shell 100 from the drain pipe 200, thereby ensuring the air tightness of the shell 100 and improving the gas circulation efficiency and the heat exchange efficiency.
[0032] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the utility model, the water storage container 300 is a sleeve, which comprises a bottom plate 301 and a surrounding plate 302 arranged on the bottom plate 301. The surrounding plate 302 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the end portion of the drain pipe 200. The surrounding plate 302 and the bottom plate 301 define the water storage groove 310 with an open edge located above the output end of the drain pipe 200. The surrounding plate 302 and the outer peripheral wall of the drain pipe 200 have a gap constituting the communication port 320. It can be understood that the sleeve directly connects with the drain pipe 200, eliminating other mounting structures. The condensed water flows into the water storage groove 310 from the end portion of the drain pipe 200. When the water level in the water storage groove 310 rises to seal the port of the drain pipe 200, external gas cannot enter the shell 100 from the drain pipe 200, and the hot gas flow in the shell 100 cannot leave the shell 100 through the drain pipe 200.
