Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifiers, and in particular to a dehumidifier water tank. Background Technology

[0002] Existing dehumidifiers primarily store water through a small upper water tank and a bottom water reservoir. There are three main drainage methods: ① A drain pipe is installed behind the upper water tank to directly discharge water to the outside of the dehumidifier. ② Water falls into the lower water tank, which is then manually emptied. ③ A water pump draws water from the tank and discharges it through pipes to the outside of the dehumidifier.

[0003] However, in existing technology, after the water tank is removed, the user needs to empty it. Water tanks typically have trays on both sides for the user to lift. If the tank is too full, water can easily splash onto the customer when emptying it, and it's also not easy to move the tank to a distant location or up and down stairs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a dehumidifier water tank that can prevent water from splashing out of the tank by setting a top cover and can be easily lifted by the user by setting a retractable hidden handle.

[0005] This utility model proposes a dehumidifier water tank, including a water tank body, a handle and a water tank cover, wherein the water tank cover is connected and disposed on the top of the water tank body;

[0006] The water tank body has at least two reinforcing ribs inside, which connect the front side and the rear side of the water tank body, and the structural strength of the water tank body can be enhanced by setting the reinforcing ribs.

[0007] The reinforcing rib is provided with a strip-shaped body connecting groove, and the handle is provided with handle connecting blocks on both sides. The handle is snapped onto the water tank body by the cooperation of the body connecting groove and the handle connecting blocks.

[0008] The water tank cover has a through hole. When not in use, the handle is hidden inside the water tank. When in use, the handle can be pulled out from the through hole.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the reinforcing rib is provided with two body connecting barbs opposite each other, and the water tank cover is provided with a cover connecting hole adapted to the body connecting barbs. The water tank cover is snapped onto the top of the water tank body by the body connecting barbs cooperating with the cover connecting hole.

[0010] Preferably, a handle removal groove is provided on the side of the through hole of the top cover, through which the handle can be easily removed from the top cover of the water tank.

[0011] Preferably, the system also includes decorative elements and strip-shaped transparent glass. A strip-shaped through-hole is provided on the front side of the water tank body. The transparent glass is fixedly disposed in the through-hole and closes the through-hole. The decorative element is disposed on the front side of the water tank body and limits the transparent glass between the water tank body and the decorative element. The decorative element has a decorative through-hole corresponding to the through-hole, allowing the water level inside the water tank body to be observed through the transparent glass.

[0012] Preferably, the water tank cover is provided with a cover water inlet groove, and the cover water inlet groove is provided with a water tank cover water inlet hole near the front side of the water tank body. The water inlet hole ensures that when water enters the water tank body, it must flow along the inner side wall of the water tank body to the bottom of the water tank body, thereby reducing noise.

[0013] Preferably, the water tank cover has a top cover drain hole on the rear side, so that when the water tank body is pulled out from the lower cavity of the shell, the water can be poured out from the top cover drain hole.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the dehumidifier water tank of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] By incorporating a handle, the dehumidifier's water tank can be moved to a suitable location to empty the water, making it more convenient for customers to use.

[0016] By setting a water inlet hole on the front side of the water tank cover, water falling into the water inlet groove of the cover can fall into the water tank body through the water inlet hole and must flow along the inner side wall of the water tank body to the bottom of the water tank body, thereby reducing noise.

[0025] 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.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 6 An embodiment of the dehumidifier water tank of this utility model is proposed:

[0027] A dehumidifier water tank includes a water tank body 1, a water tank cover 2, a handle 5, a decorative piece 3, and a strip of transparent glass 4.

[0028] The inner side of the water tank body 1 is provided with two reinforcing ribs 11 connecting the front and rear sides of the water tank body 1, which can enhance the structural strength of the water tank body 1. The reinforcing ribs 11 are provided with strip-shaped body connecting grooves 13, and handle connecting blocks 51 are provided on both sides of the handle 5. The handle 5 is secured to the water tank body 1 by the cooperation of the body connecting grooves 13 and the handle connecting blocks 51. The handle connecting blocks 51 can move up and down within the body connecting grooves 13. The bottom of the reinforcing ribs 11 is provided with reinforcing rib through holes 14, through which the bottom inner side of the water tank body 1 can be connected.

[0029] Each of the two reinforcing ribs 11 has a corresponding body connecting barb 12 on its top. The water tank cover 2 has a cover connecting hole 25 that matches the body connecting barb 12. By engaging the body connecting barb 12 with the cover connecting hole 25, the water tank cover 2 is snapped onto the top of the water tank body 1. The water tank cover 2 has a cover through hole 21 through which the handle 5 can extend. A handle removal groove 22 is provided on the side of the cover through hole 21, allowing the handle 5 to be easily removed from the water tank cover 2.

[0030] A water inlet groove 23 is provided on one side of the through hole 21 of the top cover. A water inlet hole 24 is provided on the front side of the water inlet groove 23 near the water tank body 1. An inclined surface is provided on the water inlet groove 23 near the water inlet hole 24, and the water inlet hole 24 is located at the bottom of the inclined surface. By providing the water inlet hole 24 near the front side of the water tank body 1, water falling into the water inlet groove 23 can fall into the water tank body 1 through the water inlet hole 24 and must flow along the inner side wall of the water tank body 1 to the bottom of the water tank body 1, thereby reducing noise. A top cover drain hole 26 is provided on the rear side of the top cover 2, corresponding to the position of the water inlet hole 24. When the water tank body 1 is pulled out from the lower cavity of the shell, the water can be poured out from the top cover drain hole 26.

[0031] The front side of the water tank body 1 is provided with a strip-shaped body through hole 15. The transparent glass 4 is fixedly installed in the body through hole 15 and closes the body through hole 15. The decorative part 3 is installed on the front side of the water tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to the water tank body 1 by snap-fit. The transparent glass 4 is limited between the water tank body 1 and the decorative part 3. The decorative part 3 is provided with a decorative part through hole 31 corresponding to the body through hole 15, so that the water level in the water tank body 1 can be observed through the transparent glass 4.

[0032] When using the dehumidifier, remove the dehumidifier water tank from the dehumidifier housing, reach into the handle removal slot 22 to remove the handle 5 from the handle removal slot 22, so that you can lift the dehumidifier water tank and move it to a suitable area, and then pour out the water through the top cover drain hole 26.

[0033] 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.
