[0021] Figure 2 An internal structure schematic diagram of an intelligent expansion water tank is shown. Figure 1 DETAILED DESCRIPTION ​

[0022] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0023] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: main water tank 1, connecting pipe 2, handle 3, control box 4, end cap 5, top connector 6, bottom connector 7, transparent plate 8, drain pipe 9, second auxiliary water tank 10, first auxiliary water tank 11, first partition 12, second partition 13, switch valve 14, and water level sensor 16.

[0024] Implementation, for example Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown:

[0025] An intelligent expansion water tank includes a main water tank 1, auxiliary water tanks connected to the main water tank 1 in a U-shape on both sides of the main water tank 1, a switching valve 14 located at the connection between the main water tank 1 and the auxiliary water tanks, a control chip for controlling the switching valve 14, and a water level sensor 16 providing commands to the control chip. The water level sensor 16 is located inside the main water tank 1 at the connection between it and the auxiliary water tank. Upon initial receipt of a signal from the water level sensor 16, the control chip controls the switching valve 14. Upon receiving a signal from the water level sensor 16 again, the dehumidifier connected to this device stops. The main water tank 1 has a water inlet and includes a tank body, a top connector 6, and a bottom connector 7. The bottom of the auxiliary water tank has a drain pipe 9 for rapid and direct drainage. Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary water tanks are the first auxiliary water tank 11 on the left and the second auxiliary water tank 10 on the right. The top connector 6 is equipped with a control box 4, and the control chip is installed in the control box 4.

[0026] In terms of overall structure: the top and bottom of the main water tank 1 are respectively provided with handle 3 and several mounting holes. The handle 3 is engraved with a mesh anti-slip texture, and the mounting holes are threaded with universal wheels with locking structures.

[0027] The device is moved by handle 3 and casters, which improves its portability. The casters are 4-inch silent casters, and 4-inch silent casters are installed at the bottom to facilitate the movement and deployment of the device in various scenarios.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the water tank contains several water pipes. A connecting pipe 2, which connects to the water pipes, is located on the top of the main water tank 1. The connecting pipe 2 connects the water pipes to the dehumidifier. The dehumidifier has its own water pump, which draws the liquid from the main water tank 1. Equipped with a high-efficiency water pump, the water filling rate is ≥15L / min, and the pump head is ≥2m, providing a stable water source for the humidification and dehumidification equipment to ensure its normal operation.

[0029] Liquid is manually injected from the water injection port. After injection, the end cover 5 is screwed onto the water injection port to achieve a liquid-tight environment. The liquid is water.

[0030] As shown in Figure 2

[0031] The main water tank 1 and the auxiliary water tank are provided with a partition plate. One end of the partition plate is arranged at the top of the internal connection of the main water tank 1 and the auxiliary water tank. The other end of the partition plate is away from the bottom of the internal connection of the main water tank 1 and the auxiliary water tank, and the distance is used to install the on-off valve 14.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 The partition plate includes a first partition plate 12 and a second partition plate 13.

[0033] The U-shaped communication has the advantages that the water level sensor 16 is arranged at the bottom of the partition plate, the main water tank 1 is inlaid with a transparent plate 8, and the transparent plate 8 is marked with a scale. Because the transparent plate 8 is arranged, the liquid levels at the two ends of the U-shaped communication are kept flush. Because the water injection of the main water tank 1 and the auxiliary water tank can be observed through the transparent plate 8, the main water tank 1 and the auxiliary water tank are fully filled.

[0034] The on-off valve 14 is an electromagnetic on-off valve 14, and the volume of the main water tank 1 is equal to the sum of the volumes of the auxiliary water tanks.

[0035] The control chip obtains the water level sensor 16 signal to control the on-off valve 14 for the first time, and the dehumidifier connected with the device is stopped after the water level sensor 16 signal is obtained again.

[0036] Firstly, because the dehumidifier is working, the electromagnetic on-off valve 14 is in a closed state, and the liquid level height of the main water tank 1 starts to gradually decrease. When it decreases to the position of the water level sensor 16, the water level sensor 16 triggers, so that the control chip controls the electromagnetic on-off valve 14 to start. At this time, the main water tank 1 is communicated with the auxiliary water tanks, and the water in the auxiliary water tanks is injected into the main water tank 1. Then, after the water in the auxiliary water tanks is injected into the main water tank 1, the liquid level height displayed by the scale is restored. Because the volume of the main water tank 1 is equal to the sum of the volumes of the auxiliary water tanks, the device is equivalent to having two main water tanks 1. Then, because the dehumidifier is still in a working state, the liquid level height continues to decrease and reaches the position of the water level sensor 16 again. At this time, the water level sensor 16 is equivalent to being triggered for the second time. Because there is no water, a protection measure needs to be arranged. The dehumidifier connected with the device is directly stopped after the control chip obtains the water level sensor 16 signal again, thereby protecting the dehumidifier.

[0037] The device solves the problem that the traditional water tank matched with the dehumidifier has a fixed volume and is not suitable for super-dry dehumidification environment.

[0038] ​The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application in any form. Although the present application has been disclosed with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can make minor changes or modifications to the disclosed technical content, or make equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, without departing from the technical solution of the present application. Any modification, equivalent change or modification of the above embodiments, which does not depart from the technical solution of the present application, is still within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
