Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifier technology, and more specifically, to a dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] The water tank is a crucial component of a dehumidifier, responsible for collecting and storing condensate to ensure the equipment's proper functioning. Currently used dehumidifiers fail to fully utilize limited space; the small water tanks require frequent monitoring of the water level to prevent overflow, which could cause the machine to automatically shut down, interrupting dehumidification and impacting overall efficiency. The water tank capacity also limits the applicable scenarios for these dehumidifiers, making them unsuitable for environments with higher humidity levels. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, this utility model embodiment provides a dehumidifier with a larger water tank capacity.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier includes a housing, and the internal space of the housing is divided into an upper side and a lower side by a water tray assembly. A fan, an evaporator, and a condenser are installed in the upper side, and a water tank assembly and a compressor are installed in the lower side. The dehumidifier further includes: a portion of the water tray assembly corresponding to the evaporator and the condenser, which is at least partially raised relative to the portion of the water tray assembly corresponding to the fan; and a water tank assembly installed against the lower surface of the at least partially raised portion of the water tray assembly.

[0005] Compared to existing technologies, the technical advantages of this solution are as follows: By raising the water tray assembly within the dehumidifier to correspond to the evaporator and condenser portions, and by installing the water tank assembly against the lower surface of the raised portion, the water tank height is increased, thereby increasing its volume. This also utilizes the space previously above the evaporator and condenser, improving space utilization. Furthermore, the increased dehumidifier volume reduces the number of start-stop cycles within the same timeframe, enhancing dehumidification capacity. Additionally, the increased capacity makes the dehumidifier suitable for a wider range of applications.

[0006] In one embodiment of this utility model, a clearance space is provided between the evaporator and the condenser and the top of the outer casing, and the height of the clearance space is no more than 5mm.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by leaving a margin of space between the evaporator and condenser and the top of the outer casing, with a height not exceeding 5mm, it is easier to assemble, and the space allows for better installation, thus improving installation efficiency.

[0008] In one embodiment of this utility model, the connection lines between the two sides of the water tank assembly and the outer shell are located on the center line of the side of the outer shell.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, the technical advantages of this solution are as follows: The connection lines between the two sides of the water tank assembly and the outer casing are located on the center line of the outer casing side, resulting in a deeper water tank assembly compared to traditional methods. This further increases the water tank volume and storage capacity. It also reduces the frequency of water emptying for users, improving the convenience of the dehumidifier and enhancing its dehumidification effect.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the water receiving tray assembly further includes: a fixing part, with a compressor and a water tank assembly on both sides of the fixing part; and a water receiving part, which is located on the fixing part and has a stepped design.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: By using a fixed part to separate the compressor and water tank assembly, the water tank assembly and the compressor can be separated without interference. At the same time, the space allocation is more reasonable. In addition, the stepped design of the water receiving part makes reasonable use of the spare space inside the dehumidifier. The steps are used to raise the evaporator and condenser, leaving more space for the water tank assembly below. This increases the height of the water tank assembly, thereby increasing its volume and ensuring better water storage performance.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, the water receiving part further includes: a first mounting member located below the fan; a second mounting member connected to the first mounting member; and the second mounting member is raised relative to the first mounting member and located below the evaporator and condenser; wherein, a water tank assembly is provided on the side of the second mounting member away from the evaporator and condenser.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this solution are as follows: By setting the first mounting component to correspond to the fan, and raising the second mounting component relative to the first mounting component to correspond to the evaporator and condenser, the installation position of the evaporator and condenser is raised, thereby increasing the height of the water tank assembly installed on the other side of the second mounting component. This increases the volume of the water tank assembly, allowing for a larger water storage capacity, thus reducing the frequency of water emptying for users, improving the convenience of the dehumidifier, and effectively improving space utilization and increasing the dehumidifier's water storage capacity without changing the cost.

[0014] In one embodiment of this utility model, the second mounting component is provided with multiple water inlet components, and the multiple water inlet components form a water collection path; and the water collection path guides the water to the outlet.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by setting up water inlet components to form a water collection path, water can be better discharged during collection, preventing accumulation and water damage to internal components, thus improving the safety and cleanliness of the dehumidifier's interior.

[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, the fixing part is provided with a mating arc surface, and a compressor is wrapped around one side of the mating arc surface. The water tank assembly also includes: a tank body, which is provided with a mating part for corresponding mating with the mating arc surface; the tank body is also provided with a first side and a second side, and the contact positions of the first side and the second side with the outer shell are respectively located on the center lines of the two sides of the outer shell.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by setting a mating part to fit the curved surface, the installation of internal components is more suitable and in place, ensuring better utilization of internal space. At the same time, the fitting positions of the first and second sides and the two sides of the outer shell are set at the center line, which makes the depth of the cabinet deeper, thus allowing for a larger volume of water storage, improving the water storage capacity of the dehumidifier, thereby improving the practicality and ease of use of the dehumidifier.

[0018] In one embodiment of this utility model, the dehumidifier further includes a handle, which is attached to the center line on both sides of the outer casing and on the side away from the water tank assembly.

[0019] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by setting the handle to fit the center line of both sides of the outer shell, the water tank assembly can be better removed from the outer shell through the handle, which improves the disassembly efficiency and makes the operation of emptying water from the dehumidifier simpler and more convenient, thus improving the ease of use of the dehumidifier.

[0020] In one embodiment of this utility model, the dehumidifier further includes a reinforcing member disposed on the side of the outer casing away from the water tank assembly.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by setting the reinforcing component on the side away from the water tank assembly, the strength of the front shell can be prevented from weakening due to the increase in water storage volume, making the overall structure of the dehumidifier more robust and stable, and ensuring the working stability of the dehumidifier.

[0022] In one embodiment of this utility model, the dehumidifier further includes: a grille, which is disposed on the side of the outer casing near the fan; and multiple rollers, which are disposed at the bottom of the outer casing.

[0023] Compared to existing technologies, this technical solution achieves the following advantages: By installing grilles on the outer casing corresponding to the fan, air can flow evenly into the dehumidifier, resulting in efficient operation of the entire unit. It also effectively prevents dust and other impurities from entering the dehumidifier, protecting its normal operation and extending its lifespan. Furthermore, the multiple rollers at the bottom of the casing make the dehumidifier easier to move, eliminating the need for manual handling and saving effort.

[0024] By adopting the technical solution of this utility model, the following technical effects can be achieved:

[0025] (1) By raising the water tray assembly inside the dehumidifier to correspond to the evaporator and condenser, and installing the water tank assembly against the lower surface of the raised part, the height of the water tank is increased, thereby increasing the water tank volume. This also utilizes the remaining space above the evaporator and condenser, improving space utilization. Furthermore, the connection lines between the two sides of the water tank assembly and the outer casing are located at the center line of the outer casing side, resulting in a deeper water tank assembly compared to traditional designs, further increasing the water tank volume and water storage capacity. This reduces the frequency of water emptying for users, improving the convenience of the dehumidifier and enhancing its dehumidification effect. Simultaneously, the increased dehumidifier volume reduces the number of start-stop cycles within the same time frame, enhancing dehumidification power. Additionally, the increased capacity makes the dehumidifier suitable for more scenarios.

[0026] (2) The compressor and water tank assembly are separated by the fixing part so that the water tank assembly and the compressor can not interfere with each other. At the same time, the space allocation is more reasonable. The water receiving part is set in a stepped shape so that the empty space inside the dehumidifier can be reasonably utilized through the stepped design. The evaporator and condenser are raised by step, leaving more space for the water tank assembly below, thereby increasing the height of the water tank assembly, thereby increasing the volume and ensuring better water storage performance.

[0027] (3) By setting the reinforcing component on the side away from the water tank assembly, the strength of the front shell can be prevented from weakening due to the increase in water storage volume, making the overall structure of the dehumidifier more robust and stable, and ensuring the working stability of the dehumidifier.

[0038] [First Embodiment]

[0039] See Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a dehumidifier 100, which includes a housing 110. The internal space of the housing 110 is divided into an upper side and a lower side by a water tray assembly 120. A fan, an evaporator 130, and a condenser 140 are installed in the upper side, and a water tank assembly 150 and a compressor 160 are installed in the lower side. The dehumidifier 100 also includes: the portion of the water tray assembly 120 corresponding to the evaporator 130 and the condenser 140 is at least partially raised relative to the portion of the water tray assembly 120 corresponding to the fan; and the water tank assembly 150 is installed in contact with the lower surface of the at least partially raised portion of the water tray assembly 120; the connection lines between the two sides of the water tank assembly 150 and the housing 110 are located at the center line 170 of the side of the housing 110.

[0040] Specifically, when molding the water tray assembly 120, the water receiving part 121 of the water tray assembly 120 is molded into a stepped shape. Through the stepped water receiving part 121, the installation positions of the evaporator 130 and condenser 140 in the dehumidifier 100 are correspondingly raised. At the same time, a slack space is left between the evaporator 130 and condenser 140 and the top of the outer casing 110 to facilitate subsequent assembly. Meanwhile, the installation position on the fan side remains unchanged, thereby making better use of the internal space of the dehumidifier 100.

[0041] Furthermore, the water tank assembly 150 is installed in the corresponding stepped lower space. The water tank assembly 150 can be installed by sliding insertion, simply sliding into the opening provided in the outer shell 110 and fitting against the outside of the outer shell 110. Specifically, through the first side 153 and the second side 154 provided on the tank body 151, after the tank body 151 slides into the opening provided in the outer shell 110, the first side 153 and the second side 154 are respectively fitted against the center line 170 of the two side walls of the outer shell 110 to complete the installation. Compared with the traditional water tank installation position, by further pushing the tank body 151 to the center line 170 of the side wall, the depth of the tank body 151 is increased, thereby increasing the volume and thus allowing for a larger water storage capacity.

[0042] Preferably, by setting the water tray assembly 120 inside the dehumidifier 100 to correspond to the protrusions of the evaporator 130 and condenser 140, and installing the water tank assembly 150 against these protrusions, the height of the water tank is increased, thereby increasing its volume. This also utilizes the remaining space above the evaporator 130 and condenser 140 within the dehumidifier 100, improving space utilization. Furthermore, the connection lines between the two sides of the water tank assembly 150 and the outer casing 110 are located at the center line 170 of the side of the outer casing 110, resulting in a deeper water tank assembly 150 compared to traditional designs, further increasing the water tank volume and water storage capacity. This reduces the frequency of water emptying for users, improving the convenience of the dehumidifier 100 and enhancing its dehumidification effect. Simultaneously, the increased volume of the dehumidifier 100 reduces the number of start-stop cycles within the same time period, enhancing dehumidification power. Additionally, the increased capacity of the dehumidifier 100 makes it suitable for more scenarios.

[0043] Specifically, there is a clearance space between the evaporator 130 and the condenser 140 and the top of the outer casing 110, and the height of the clearance space is no more than 5mm.

[0044] Specifically, there is typically a clearance of about 10mm above the two components, but no clearance above the fan. To maximize the height of the water tank assembly 150, a stepped design is adopted to make efficient use of the clearance above the two components. The height of the water tray assembly 120 and the fan side remains unchanged, while the other side of the two components is raised along with them. Ultimately, through compression and integration, approximately 5mm of clearance is retained above the two components for easy assembly, achieving an increase in water tank assembly height of approximately 15mm.

[0045] Preferably, the overall thickness of the dehumidifier is 200mm, wherein the height of the water tank assembly 150 is 198mm, and the distance from the upper surface of at least the partially raised portion of the water tray assembly 120 to the remaining space is 172mm.

[0046] Preferably, by leaving a margin between the evaporator 130 and the condenser 140 and the top of the outer casing 110, assembly is made more convenient, and the space allows for better installation, thus improving installation efficiency.

[0047] Specifically, the water tray assembly 120 also includes: a fixing part 122, with a compressor 160 and a water tank assembly 150 on both sides of the fixing part 122; and a water receiving part 121, which is located on the fixing part 122 and has a stepped design.

[0048] Preferably, the compressor 160 and the water tank assembly 150 are separated by the fixing part 122, so that the water tank assembly 150 and the compressor 160 do not interfere with each other, and the space allocation is more reasonable. At the same time, the water receiving part 121 is set in a stepped shape, so that the empty space inside the dehumidifier 100 can be reasonably utilized through the stepped design. The evaporator 130 and condenser 140 are raised by using the steps, leaving more space for the water tank assembly 150 below, thereby increasing the height of the water tank assembly 150, increasing the volume, and ensuring better water storage performance.

[0049] Specifically, the water receiving part 121 further includes: a first mounting member 123, which is located below the fan; a second mounting member 124, which is connected to the first mounting member 123; and the second mounting member 124 is raised relative to the first mounting member 123 and is located below the evaporator 130 and the condenser 140; wherein, a water tank assembly 150 is provided on the side of the second mounting member 124 away from the evaporator 130 and the condenser 140.

[0050] Preferably, by setting the first mounting component 123 to correspond to the fan, and raising the second mounting component 124 relative to the first mounting component 123 and corresponding to the evaporator 130 and condenser 140, the installation positions of the evaporator 130 and condenser 140 are raised, thereby increasing the height of the water tank assembly 150 installed on the other side of the second mounting component 124. This increases the volume of the water tank assembly 150, allowing for a larger water storage capacity, thus reducing the frequency of water emptying for users, improving the convenience of the dehumidifier 100, and effectively improving space utilization and increasing the water storage capacity of the dehumidifier 100 without changing the cost. At the same time, since the fan part usually does not condense, raising the corresponding positions of the two components does not affect drainage.

[0051] Specifically, the second mounting component 124 is provided with multiple water inlet components 125, and a water collection path is formed among the multiple water inlet components 125; and the water collection path guides the water to the outlet 126.

[0052] Specifically, the water inlet 125 can be a raised vertical piece, which is formed by arranging them.

[0053] Preferably, by setting the water inlet 125 to form a water collection path, the collected water can be better discharged, preventing accumulation and water damage to internal components, thus improving the safety and cleanliness of the dehumidifier 100.

[0054] Specifically, the fixing part 122 is provided with a mating arc surface 127, and the compressor 160 is wrapped around one side of the mating arc surface 127. The water tank assembly 150 also includes: a housing 151, the housing 151 is provided with a mating part 152, the mating part 152 is used to mate with the mating arc surface 127; the housing 151 is also provided with a first side 153 and a second side 154, the first side 153 and the second side 154 are respectively located at the center line 170 on both sides of the housing 110 when they are attached to the outer shell 110.

[0055] Preferably, by setting the mating part 152 to fit the mating arc surface 127, the installation of internal components is more suitable and in place, ensuring better utilization of internal space. At the same time, the first side 153 and the second side 154 are set to fit with the two sides of the outer shell 110 at the center line 170, so that the depth of the box 151 is greater, thus having a larger volume for water storage, improving the water storage capacity of the dehumidifier 100, thereby improving the practicality and ease of use of the dehumidifier 100.

[0056] Specifically, the dehumidifier 100 also includes a handle 180, which is attached to the center line 170 on both sides of the outer casing 110 and on the side away from the water tank assembly 150.

[0057] Preferably, by setting the handle 180 to fit the center line 170 on both sides of the outer casing 110, the water tank assembly 150 can be better removed from the outer casing 110 through the handle 180, which improves the disassembly efficiency and makes the operation of the dehumidifier 100 simpler and more convenient when water needs to be emptied, thus providing the dehumidifier 100 with ease of use.

[0058] Specifically, the dehumidifier 100 also includes a reinforcing member located on the side of the housing 110 away from the water tank assembly 150.

[0059] Specifically, the reinforcing component is a rib.

[0060] Preferably, by setting the reinforcing member on the side away from the water tank assembly 150, the strength of the front shell can be prevented from weakening due to the increase in water storage volume, making the overall structure of the dehumidifier 100 more robust and stable, and ensuring the working stability of the dehumidifier 100.

[0061] Specifically, the dehumidifier 100 also includes a grille 190, which is located on the side of the housing 110 near the fan.

[0062] Preferably, by setting the grille 190 on the outer casing 110 corresponding to the fan, air can flow evenly into the dehumidifier, thereby achieving efficient operation of the entire unit. It also effectively prevents dust and other impurities from entering the dehumidifier, protecting the machine's normal operation and extending its service life.

[0063] Specifically, the dehumidifier 100 also includes: multiple roller components 200, which are located at the bottom of the outer casing 110.

[0064] Preferably, by setting multiple rollers 200 at the bottom of the housing 110, the dehumidifier 100 is more convenient to move to a different location without needing to be carried, thus saving more effort and time.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
