Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air handling unit technology, specifically a condensate drainage device for dehumidifiers. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary dehumidifiers play a crucial role in lithium battery manufacturing plants, primarily because they provide stable and low dew point humidity control, which is essential for the humidity-sensitive environment of lithium battery production. In lithium battery production, processes such as electrode slurry feeding, rolling and slitting, assembly, and electrolyte injection require extremely low humidity levels to prevent materials from becoming damp, electrolyte deterioration, or moisture reacting with the battery, thereby ensuring battery quality and safety. By continuously and effectively reducing air humidity, rotary dehumidifiers ensure that the production environment meets stringent humidity control standards, thus contributing to improved lithium battery performance and consistency.

[0003] During the operation of a rotary dehumidifier, especially in hot and humid weather in summer, a large amount of condensate is generated as water vapor in the air is adsorbed. This condensate is usually discharged directly without being recycled, resulting in potential waste of water resources and cooling capacity. Utility Model Content

[0021] By setting up elastic elements, the push plate can be pushed to both sides, so that the pressure column on the outside of the push plate is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the guide rail, ensuring that the sliding seat can be fixed relative to the guide rail in a natural state.

[0022] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a first sealing plate is provided at the upper end of the slide block, a second sealing plate is provided at the lower end of the slide block, a first through groove and a second through groove are provided on the guide rail, the first through groove passes through the upper end of the guide rail, the second through groove passes through the lower end of the guide rail, the first sealing plate is slidably connected in the first through groove, and the second sealing plate is slidably connected in the second through groove.

[0023] By setting the first and second sealing plates, the openings of the guide rails can be sealed to prevent external dust from entering the interior of the air handling unit.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 In this embodiment of the present invention, a condensate drainage device for a dehumidifier includes a collection box 1 and a filter box 2. The collection box 1 is installed inside the dehumidifier to replace the dehumidifier's condensate collection tray. The collection box 1 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the filter box 2. Therefore, the condensate generated by the dehumidifier can enter the collection box 1 through the filter box 2 for collection and utilization. Heat exchange plates 4 are embedded on both sides of the cavity inside the collection box 1. Two heat exchange tubes 5 are connected on the two heat exchange plates 4. The other end of the heat exchange tubes 5 extends through the side wall of the collection box 1 to the outside of the collection box 1. A filter plate 3 is provided inside the filter box 2. 3 is made of filter material and can filter condensate. A first water supply pipe is connected to one side of the collection box 1. A guide rail 6 is provided on one side of the collection box 1. The guide rail 6 is connected to the housing of the dehumidifier. A slide seat 7 is slidably installed inside the guide rail 6. A connecting pipe 9 is fixedly installed inside the slide seat 7. The first bend pipe 8 and the connecting pipe 9 are connected through the first corrugated pipe 10. A second corrugated pipe 11 is connected to the outlet end of the connecting pipe 9. A second bend pipe 12 is connected to the bottom end of the second corrugated pipe 11. A second water supply pipe 18 is connected to the outlet end of the second bend pipe 12. The purified condensate can be discharged through the second water supply pipe 18.

[0037] Please see Figure 5 The top wall of the guide rail 6 has a first through groove 601, and the bottom wall of the guide rail 6 has a second through groove 602. The top of the slide 7 is fixedly installed with a first sealing plate 13, which passes through the first through groove 601. The bottom of the slide 7 is fixedly installed with a second sealing plate 14, which passes through the second through groove 602. By setting the first sealing plate 13 and the second sealing plate 14, the opening of the guide rail 6 can be sealed to prevent external dust from entering the interior of the air handling unit.

[0038] Please see Figure 4A groove is provided on one side of the slide block 7, and two push plates 15 are slidably installed in the groove. An elastic element 16 is provided between the two push plates 15, and the two push plates 15 are elastically connected through the elastic element 16. A pressure column 17 is fixedly installed on the side of each push plate 15 away from the elastic element 16, and the pressure column 17 penetrates the side wall of the slide block 7. In the natural state, the two pressure columns 17 press against the inner side wall of the guide rail 6, thereby locking the slide block 7 and preventing it from sliding. When it is necessary to slide the slide block 7, press the two push plates 15 to bring them closer together, thereby separating the two pressure columns 17 from the inner side wall of the guide rail 6, thereby releasing the lock on the slide block 7 and allowing it to slide up and down relative to the guide rail 6.

[0039] In this embodiment, during operation, the condensate generated by the rotary dehumidifier flows into the filter box 2, is filtered by the filter plate 3, and then flows into the collection box 1. The water in the collection box 1 enters the first bend pipe 8, and then flows into the second bend pipe 12 through the first corrugated pipe 10, the connecting pipe 9, and the second corrugated pipe 11. Finally, it flows into the storage pipe through the second water supply pipe 18 for storage. The water in the collection box 1 flows into the second bend pipe 12 based on the principle of communicating vessels. The liquid level in the collection box 1 is the same as the height of the connecting pipe 9. When the connecting pipe 9 is at a higher position, the collection box 1 can store a certain amount of water. At this time, the water in the collection box 1 can absorb heat from the heat exchange plate 4. The heat exchange plate 4 has a hollow structure, and the heat exchange tube 5 is connected to the heat exchange plate 4, allowing the heat source to be input into the heat exchange plate 4. After dissipating heat within the heat exchange plate 4, the water is discharged through another heat exchange pipe 5, thus achieving a cooling effect and enabling the reuse of condensate. When the device is not in use, to prevent bacterial growth and algae formation in the collection tank 1, the water in the collection tank 1 needs to be drained. At this time, the two push plates 15 can be pressed to bring them closer together, thereby separating the two pressure columns 17 from the inner wall of the guide rail 6, thus releasing the lock on the slide 7. Then, the slide 7 can be slid downwards. When the slide 7 slides, it drives the connecting pipe 9 to slide downwards, causing the first corrugated pipe 10 and the second corrugated pipe 11 to shorten. The liquid level in the collection tank 1 is the same as the height of the connecting pipe 9, allowing the water level in the collection tank 1 to be adjusted to regulate the depth of the heat exchange plate 4 submerged in the water, thereby regulating the heat exchange rate. In addition, the water discharged from the connecting pipe 9 can be used for makeup water for other systems.
