Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat storage dehumidifiers, specifically a heat storage dehumidifier that recovers condensate. Background Technology

[0002] A thermal storage dehumidifier is a device that uses heat storage and release to achieve dehumidification. Its working principle is to condense the moisture in the air and discharge the condensate, while storing the heat in the heat storage material inside the device. After a period of time, the heat storage material releases the stored heat to heat the air, thereby increasing the air temperature and improving dehumidification efficiency. Specifically, thermal storage dehumidifiers improve energy efficiency and reduce energy waste by recycling heat energy during the dehumidification process. They are particularly suitable for use in low-temperature environments, and can reduce energy consumption while ensuring efficient dehumidification.

[0003] Existing heat storage dehumidifiers produce a large amount of condensate during operation. This condensate is usually collected in the casing inside the dehumidifier. After the dehumidifier finishes working, the user removes and discharges the condensate, which cannot be effectively utilized. This method results in a large waste of condensate and increases the environmental burden caused by drainage.

[0004] In summary, the above-mentioned structure removes and discharges condensate during operation, making it impossible to effectively utilize the condensate, which increases the overall energy consumption of the device. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat storage dehumidifier that recovers condensate, in order to solve the technical problem that the condensate is removed and discharged during operation, which makes it impossible to effectively utilize the condensate and increases the overall energy consumption of the device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a heat storage dehumidifier for recovering condensate, comprising a shell, a water tank, and a compressor body. The water tank is located on one side inside the shell, and the compressor body is located on the other side of the shell. A water inlet is provided at the top of the water tank, and the other end of the water inlet is located on the outer wall of the compressor body. At the same time, a drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the water tank. A float plate is slidably disposed inside the water tank, and a sealing plate is installed on one side of the float plate. A sealing groove that cooperates with the sealing plate is provided at the water inlet, and the sealing plate itself can pass through the water inlet.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the condensate drained through the condensate pipe will be discharged to the outer wall of the compressor body through the water inlet. In this process, the condensate is used to dissipate heat from the compressor body during operation. As the dehumidification work proceeds, the float plate will float upward in the water tank. When the sealing plate on one side of the float plate is inserted into the sealing groove, the water inlet is sealed, effectively preventing the preheated condensate from being discharged through the water inlet again, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of the condensate on the compressor body.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a spiral flow channel is arranged around the outer wall of the compressor body, one end of the spiral flow channel is connected to a water inlet, and the other end is connected to a drain outlet.

[0009] Preferably, the spiral flow channel ensures that the condensate flows around the compressor body, increasing the contact area between the condensate and the outer wall of the compressor body, thereby further improving the overall heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the spiral flow channel can accelerate the flow speed of the condensate on its outer wall, thereby accelerating the removal of heat energy from the outer wall of the compressor body.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that symmetrical grooves are provided inside the water tank, and sliders that cooperate with the grooves are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the float plate, and the top of the sliders is connected to the sealing plate.

[0011] Preferably, the float plate can slide vertically inside the water tank through the cooperation of the sliding groove and the slider, ensuring that the subsequent sealing plate can be stably inserted into the sealing groove, thereby improving the overall stability of the device.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a heat dissipation component is provided on one side of the outer casing, and an air outlet is provided on the top of the compressor body.

[0013] Preferably, the heat dissipation component can release the heat in the heat storage material and heat the surrounding air, thereby increasing the air temperature and improving the dehumidification efficiency. Furthermore, the air outlet can exhaust the air generated by the compressor body to the outside, ensuring the overall stability of the compressor body within the casing.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that a water trough is provided inside the water tank at the water inlet, and the water trough itself is L-shaped.

[0015] Preferably, the water tank ensures that all the condensate in the condensate pipe is discharged into the water inlet, thus making full use of the condensate and reducing the energy consumption and operating costs of the equipment.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that a condensate pipe is provided inside the outer shell, and one end of the condensate pipe is located at the water tank.

[0017] Preferably, the condenser is located at the water tank to facilitate the discharge of the generated condensate into the water tank, and then through the water inlet into the spiral flow channel.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that the bottom end of the sealing groove is open, and a flexible sealing sleeve is provided on the outer wall of the sealing plate.

[0019] Preferably, the open design guides the sealing plate itself, while the flexible sealing sleeve on the outer wall further improves the sealing effect at the inlet.

[0020] The present invention is further provided that an electrically controlled valve is provided at the drain outlet.

[0021] Preferably, the backflow of condensate in the water tank can be prevented by the action of the electrically controlled valve, thereby improving the overall operational stability of the device.

[0022] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0023] 1. This utility model has a water tank at the bottom of the outer shell. The condensate drained through the condensate pipe will be discharged to the outer wall of the compressor body through the water inlet. In this process, the condensate is used to dissipate heat from the compressor body during operation, thereby reducing the energy consumption and operating cost of the equipment and realizing the utilization of the condensate.

[0024] 2. This utility model features a float plate inside the water tank, with a sealing plate on one side of the float plate. After the condensate has cooled the compressor body, it drains into the water tank through the drain outlet. As dehumidification proceeds, the float plate rises within the water tank. When the sealing plate on one side of the float plate is inserted into the sealing groove, it seals the water inlet, effectively preventing the preheated condensate from draining out again through the water inlet, thus further improving the cooling effect of the condensate on the compressor body.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0033] First embodiment:

[0034] Please see Figures 1-4 The heat storage dehumidifier shown includes a shell 1, a water tank 2, a compressor body 10, a heat dissipation mechanism, a return flow mechanism, and a sealing mechanism. A heat dissipation component 3 is provided on one side of the shell 1, and an air outlet 4 is provided on the top of the compressor body 10. The heat dissipation component 3 can release the heat in the heat storage material and heat the surrounding air, thereby increasing the air temperature and improving the dehumidification efficiency. The air outlet 4 can also exhaust the air generated by the compressor body 10 to the outside, ensuring the overall stability of the compressor body 10 within the shell 1. During the dehumidification process, the condensate is discharged into the water tank 2. In this process, the condensate is discharged to the outer wall of the compressor body 10 through the water inlet 12. This realizes the use of condensate to dissipate heat from the compressor body 10 during operation, reducing the energy consumption and operating costs of the equipment, and realizing the utilization of condensate.

[0035] Furthermore, a drain outlet 15 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 2. After the condensate has cooled the compressor body 10, it will be discharged into the water tank 2 through the drain outlet 15. At the same time, a float plate 8 is slidably installed in the water tank 2, and a sealing plate 13 is installed on one side of the float plate 8. As the dehumidification work proceeds, the float plate 8 will float upward in the water tank 2, and at the same time, it will drive the sealing plate 13 to move upward. Since a sealing groove 9 that cooperates with the sealing plate 13 is provided at the water inlet 12, and the sealing plate 13 itself can pass through the water inlet 12, when the sealing plate 13 on one side of the float plate 8 is inserted into the sealing groove 9, the water inlet 12 is sealed, which effectively prevents the preheated condensate from being discharged through the water inlet 12 again, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of the condensate on the compressor body 10.

[0036] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 A sliding groove 7 is symmetrically provided inside the water tank 2, and sliders 14 that cooperate with the sliding groove 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the float plate 8. The top of the sliders 14 is connected to the sealing plate 13. With the cooperation of the sliding groove 7 and the sliders 14, the float plate 8 can slide vertically inside the water tank 2, ensuring that the sealing plate 13 can be stably inserted into the sealing groove 9, thus improving the overall stability of the device.

[0037] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The device has a condensate pipe 5 inside the outer casing 1, with one end of the condensate pipe 5 located at the water tank 6. The water tank 2 has a water tank 6 located at the water inlet 12, and the water tank 6 itself is L-shaped. The water tank 6 ensures that all the condensate in the condensate pipe 5 is discharged into the water inlet 12, so as to make full use of the condensate and reduce the energy consumption and operating cost of the equipment.

[0038] Second embodiment:

[0039] Please see Figure 3 The heat storage dehumidifier shown is similar in overall structure to Embodiment 1. The outer wall of the compressor body 10 is surrounded by a spiral flow channel 11. One end of the spiral flow channel 11 is connected to a water inlet 12, and the other end is connected to a drain outlet 15. The spiral flow channel 11 ensures that the condensate flows around the compressor body 10, increasing the contact area between the condensate and the outer wall of the compressor body 10, thereby further improving the overall heat dissipation effect. At the same time, the spiral flow channel 11 can accelerate the flow speed of the condensate on its outer wall, thereby accelerating the removal of heat energy from the outer wall of the compressor body 10.

[0040] In practical operation, this invention works as follows: The heat dissipation assembly 3 and the compressor body 10 work together to expel air from the air outlet 4. Condensate formed during this process is discharged into the water tank 2 through the condensate pipe 5. Under the action of the water trough 6, the condensate is discharged into the water inlet 12. During this process, the condensate dissipates heat from the compressor body 10, thus utilizing the condensate. It is then discharged back into the water tank 2 through the drain outlet 15. As dehumidification continues, the amount of condensate in the water tank 2 increases. At this point, the float plate 8 drives the sealing plate 13 on the side wall to slide upwards. When the sealing plate 13 is inserted into the sealing groove 9, it seals the water inlet 12, effectively preventing the preheated condensate from being discharged again through the water inlet 12, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect of the condensate on the compressor body 10.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
