Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifier technology, and in particular to a heat recovery structure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing traditional dehumidifiers mainly consist of a honeycomb structure, a fan, and an electric heating element. Air is drawn in by the fan, heated by the electric heating element, dried by the honeycomb structure, and then discharged into the outside atmosphere. Traditional dehumidifiers focus on temperature and humidity regulation during operation but neglect the efficient use of energy. They do not effectively recover the heat generated during the dehumidification process, resulting in a large amount of energy waste and significantly increasing operating costs. In addition, the unrecovered heat emissions may also affect the local ambient temperature. In places with strict temperature requirements, such as precision electronic instrument production workshops and laboratories, additional heat emissions can disrupt the stability of the ambient temperature, interfering with the normal operation of equipment and the accuracy of experimental results. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat recovery structure, including: a honeycomb, a honeycomb flange, an electric heating tube and an exhaust flange, wherein the upper end of the electric heating tube is connected to the upper end of the honeycomb, the lower end of the honeycomb is provided with the honeycomb flange, and the honeycomb flange is connected to the exhaust flange.

[0004] In another preferred embodiment, the lower end of the heating element is connected to a fan via a pipe.

[0005] In another preferred embodiment, it further includes a first air tube connecting the honeycomb and the heating element.

[0006] In another preferred embodiment, it further includes a second air pipe, which connects the honeycomb flange and the exhaust flange.

[0007] In another preferred embodiment, it further includes: a support, the heating element disposed inside one side of the support, the honeycomb disposed on one side of the heating element, and the exhaust flange disposed above the honeycomb and extending out of the support.

[0008] In another preferred embodiment, the honeycomb is arranged in a cylindrical shape.

[0009] In another preferred embodiment, it further includes a return pipe that connects the exhaust flange and the piping.

[0010] The present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, has the following positive effects compared with the prior art: By applying the present invention, a heat recovery structure is proposed. This structure utilizes a return pipe to mix hot air with room temperature air, enabling the mixed air to quickly reach the set temperature when heated within the electric heating element. This not only improves energy utilization efficiency and reduces heat waste but also reduces the heating energy consumption of the electric heating element, thereby reducing the operating cost of the dehumidifier and meeting energy conservation and environmental protection requirements. Furthermore, in places with strict temperature and humidity requirements, such as high-end archives and pharmaceutical storage facilities, the dehumidification process reduces the impact on ambient temperature, ensuring humidity remains within a suitable range and avoiding significant temperature fluctuations caused by dehumidification. This provides stable environmental conditions for the preservation of archives, pharmaceuticals, etc., helping to extend their shelf life and maintain their quality. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0016] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "front", "back", "horizontal", and "vertical" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0017] It should be noted that the terms "horizontal" and "vertical" in this utility model are used to describe approximate positional relationships, and not strictly "horizontal plane" or "vertical plane".

[0018] like Figure 1-2As shown, a heat recovery structure of a preferred embodiment is illustrated, including: a honeycomb 1, a honeycomb flange 2, an electric heating tube 3, and an exhaust flange 4. The upper end of the electric heating tube 3 is connected to the upper end of the honeycomb 1, and the lower end of the honeycomb 1 is provided with a honeycomb flange 2, which is connected to the exhaust flange 4.

[0019] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the heating element 3 is connected to the fan 5 via a pipe.

[0020] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes: a first air pipe 6, which connects the honeycomb 1 and the electric heating tube 3.

[0021] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes: a second air pipe 7, which connects the honeycomb flange 2 and the exhaust flange 4.

[0022] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it further includes: a bracket, with the heating element 3 disposed inside one side of the bracket, the honeycomb 1 disposed on one side of the heating element 3, and an exhaust flange 4 disposed above the honeycomb 1 and extending out of the bracket. Further, the bracket is used to mount the heating element 3 and the honeycomb 1.

[0023] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the exhaust flange 4 is installed at the upper end of the bracket, which is installed inside the dehumidifier, and the exhaust flange 4 extends out of the dehumidifier to facilitate the discharge of the treated air into the outside atmosphere.

[0024] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the honeycomb 1 is arranged in a cylindrical shape. Furthermore, the honeycomb 1 can be used for air drying.

[0025] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, it also includes a return pipe 8, which connects to the exhaust flange 4 and the pipeline. Furthermore, by providing the return pipe 8, the heated air can be mixed with the ambient air. The temperature of the mixed air is significantly higher than the original ambient air. When the mixed air reaches the heating element 3, it can reach the set temperature more quickly than the original ambient air, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the heating element 3 and achieving energy saving. It also reduces the heat impact of the heated air discharged to the external environment, preventing significant temperature fluctuations in the external environment caused by dehumidification.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: ambient temperature air can be blown into the electric heating tube 3 by the fan 5. After being heated in the electric heating tube 3, it can flow into the honeycomb 1 through the first air pipe 6. The honeycomb 1 can dry the incoming heated air. Then the dried air can enter the honeycomb flange 2 from the honeycomb 1, and then enter the second air pipe 7 through the honeycomb flange 2. After the dried air enters the exhaust flange 4 from the second air pipe 7, part of it is discharged to the outside atmosphere from the exhaust flange 4, and the other part enters the return pipe 8 from the exhaust flange 4. Then it enters the pipeline from the return pipe 8 and mixes with the ambient temperature air. The mixed air then enters the electric heating tube 3 from the pipeline, is heated, and is dried by the honeycomb 1 before being discharged.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the implementation method and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that all solutions obtained by equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
