[0029] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. 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.
[0030] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the main principle of a dehumidifier is to draw in moisture-saturated air, condense it, collect the moisture, and then expel the dry air, thereby reducing the humidity of the entire indoor air. The moisture is collected in a special water tank inside the room or discharged into the sewer through a connected pipe.
[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a dehumidifier with a multi-functional drain outlet structure, including a dehumidifier housing 1 and a water tank 2 that are detachably connected. A drain port 10 is provided on the side wall of the dehumidifier housing 1, and a drain cover 3 is provided on the drain port 10. A device bracket 4 is provided inside the dehumidifier housing 1, and a drain trough 5 is provided on it. The drain trough 5 is provided with a condensate inlet 50, an external drain pipe hole 51, an overflow hole 53, and an adjusting plate 52. The adjusting plate 52 is located between the external drain pipe hole 51 and the overflow hole 53. A multi-functional water pipe interface device 6 is provided on the external drain pipe hole 51, and the overflow hole 53 is located above the water tank 2.
[0034] The dehumidifier in this embodiment mainly includes a detachably connected dehumidifier housing 1 and a water tank 2. The dehumidifier housing 1 serves as the main structure, housing the main components of the dehumidifier, while the water tank 2 collects condensate generated during the dehumidification process. A drain port 10 is provided on the side wall of the dehumidifier housing 1 for draining the condensate. A drain cover 3 is installed on the drain port 10, which not only seals and protects the multi-functional water pipe interface device 6 of the drain port 10, preventing dust and debris from adhering to the drain port 10 and avoiding blockage, but also makes the overall shape of the dehumidifier smoother and more aesthetically pleasing when the drain cover 3 is closed.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the drain cover 3 of this utility model mainly includes a drain cover plate 31. A rotating connector 311 is provided at the lower end of the drain cover plate 31. The rotating connector 311 is hinged to the drain port 10, so that the drain cover plate 31 can be opened or closed flexibly. An elastic connector 312 is also provided at the upper end of the drain cover plate 31, and a corresponding snap-fit interface 11 that cooperates with the elastic connector 312 is provided on the drain port 10.
[0036] By pressing the drain cover 31, the elastic connector 312 and the card interface 11 are locked together. Pressing it again will release the lock and the drain cover 31 will pop out. This design ensures that the drain cover 3 can fit tightly against the drain port 10 when closed, while also making it easy for the user to open.
[0037] The dehumidifier housing 1 has an equipment support 4 inside, and a drain trough 5 is further provided on the equipment support 4. The drain trough 5 is a key component for collecting and guiding condensate, and it is provided with a condensate inlet 50, an external drain pipe hole 51, an overflow hole 53, and an adjustment plate 52.
[0038] The condensate inlet 50 is used to receive condensate generated inside the dehumidifier, and the external drain pipe hole 51 is used to connect to the external drain pipe for normal drainage operation.
[0039] The adjusting plate 52 is located between the external drain pipe hole 51 and the overflow hole 53. By adjusting its position or height, the water level in the drainage trough 5 can be controlled, thereby adjusting the balance point of drainage and overflow.
[0040] When the drain cover 3 blocks the multi-functional water pipe interface device 6, or the external drain pipe hole 51 is blocked, after the water level in the drain trough 5 is higher than the regulating plate 52, the excess water overflows into the water tank 2 through the overflow hole 53 to prevent water from overflowing and causing damage.
[0041] Specifically, the external drain pipe hole 51 is equipped with a multi-functional water pipe interface device 6, which consists of multiple annular water pipe interfaces with gradually increasing diameters. Each annular water pipe interface is connected to the external drain pipe hole 51 and is sequentially fitted onto the external drain pipe hole 51 in order of gradually increasing diameter. Therefore, it can be set up as a multi-level water pipe interface, which can connect water pipes of various diameters and types.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the multifunctional water pipe interface device 6 includes an inner round pipe interface 61 and an outer garden pipe interface 62. The diameter of the inner round pipe interface 61 is smaller than that of the outer garden pipe interface 62.
[0043] Based on the above technical solution, further optimization and improvement can be made. The inner round pipe interface 61 can be designed as a tapered water pipe interface to adapt to the connection of drain pipes of different diameters. For ordinary water pipes without a connection structure, an interference fit is used for direct insertion and connection. The tapered shape can be adjusted to accommodate 4-point, 6-point, and 8-point pipes, etc. A certain roughness is set on the surface of the tapered water pipe interface to provide a certain anti-slip and anti-drop function, allowing the external water pipe to be quickly inserted and connected, meeting the needs of temporary external water pipes. The outer round pipe interface 62 is provided with threads to facilitate a tight connection with threaded external water pipes, enabling the dehumidifier to continuously dehumidify without the need for manual emptying of the water tank 2, thus preventing the dehumidifier from automatically shutting down when the water tank 2 is full.
[0044] When the drain cover 3 is closed, the drain cover plate 31 abuts against the ports of the inner round pipe interface 61 and the outer garden pipe interface 62. The multifunctional water pipe interface device 6 includes multiple annular water pipe interfaces with gradually increasing diameters, which can be arranged in multiple stages, specifically, as shown in the figure, Figures 4-5 In the utility model, the multifunctional water pipe interface device 6 includes the inner round pipe interface 61 and the outer garden pipe interface 62, the diameter of the interface of the inner round pipe interface 61 is smaller than that of the outer garden pipe interface 62, the inner round pipe interface 61 is a tapered water pipe interface, and the outer garden pipe interface 62 is provided with threads.
[0045] As shown in the figure, Figures 3-5 By arranging the multifunctional water pipe interface device 6 on the drain port, the device contains the inner round pipe interface 61 and the outer garden pipe interface 62 with gradually increasing diameters, which can adapt to various specifications and types of drain pipes, greatly improving the applicability and flexibility of the dehumidifier in different installation environments.
[0046] The inner round pipe interface 61 is designed as a taper, which facilitates quick and tight connection of pipes with different diameters, while the threads on the outer garden pipe interface 62 ensure stable connection with threaded joints, further enhancing the stability and reliability of drainage.
[0047] Since the water tank 2 has a small volume, the dehumidifier as a whole will stop running after the water level in the water tank 2 is full, so it is necessary to set up a water pipe connected to the outside.
[0048] As shown in the figure, Figures 6-7 The adjusting plate 52 is arranged in the drain groove 5, which divides the drain groove 5 into an outer drainage cavity 100 and an inner drainage cavity 200, the outer drainage pipe hole 51 is in the outer drainage cavity 100, the overflow hole 53 is in the inner drainage cavity 200, the condensate water inlet 50 is above the outer drainage cavity 100, and the height of the overflow hole 53 is higher than that of the outer drainage pipe hole 51. Under the condition that the external water pipe is unobstructed, normal drainage flows out of the outer drainage pipe hole 51, if the outer drainage pipe hole 51 is blocked, the water level in the outer drainage cavity 100 rises, flows to the inner drainage cavity 200, and flows to the water tank 2 through the overflow hole 53.
[0049] The outer drainage pipe hole 51 is located in the outer drainage cavity 100 and is responsible for normal drainage, while the overflow hole 53 is located in the inner drainage cavity 200 and its height is higher than that of the outer drainage pipe hole 51, ensuring that the overflow mechanism will only be activated when the water volume exceeds a certain limit.
[0050] The overflow hole 53 is arranged in the inner drainage cavity 200 and its height is higher than that of the outer drainage pipe hole 51, when the water level in the drain groove abnormally rises, the excess water can safely flow into the water tank 2 through the overflow hole, effectively avoiding the risk of machine damage or flooding caused by excessively high water level.
[0051] Specific operation mode: in the drainage operation, the user first opens the drainage cover 3, according to the specification of the external drainage pipe selects the appropriate interface, inner tube interface 61 or outer garden pipe interface 62 connection. Subsequently, the condensed water through the condensed water inlet 50 into the drainage tank 5, through the external drainage pipe hole 51 discharge. If the drainage cover plate 31 blocks the multifunctional water pipe interface device 6, in the external drainage cavity 100 accumulation to a certain amount, the water level rises more than the adjusting plate 52, then the excess moisture will flow into the overflow hole 53 into the water tank 2.
[0052] The drainage cover 3 adopts the design of rotating connecting piece 311 and elastic connecting piece 312, so that the opening and closing operation of the drainage cover is more convenient and fast, the user can easily complete without using tools, improve the convenience of use.
[0053] The drainage cover can tightly fit the port of the multifunctional water pipe interface device when closed, effectively preventing water leakage, while maintaining the neatness and beauty of the appearance of the dehumidifier.
[0054] The drainage cover is in the closed state; when the drainage cover 3 is closed, the drainage cover plate 31 will abut against the port of the inner tube interface 61 and the outer garden pipe interface 62, further enhancing the sealing property and preventing water leakage.
[0055] In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the realization of ordinary skilled in the art, when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or cannot be realized, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, also not within the scope of the present application.
[0056] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as limiting the scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
