Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifier technology, specifically to a gesture-sensor-activated dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] As the name suggests, a dehumidifier is a machine that dehumidifies the air. After the dehumidifier draws in air, it is filtered through a filter and then cooled and dehumidified on the evaporator, thus reducing the humidity of the air. Dehumidifiers can generally be divided into industrial dehumidifiers and household dehumidifiers.

[0003] Currently, after a period of use, dehumidifiers need to have their internal filters cleaned. However, removing the filters is a hassle. Most dehumidifiers require disassembling the outer casing before removing the filters, and then taking the filters to a water tank for cleaning. Dust may fall during this process, making cleaning troublesome, inefficient, and inconvenient for quick maintenance and repair. There is an urgent need to design a dehumidifier with gesture-sensor start / stop to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gesture-sensing dehumidifier to address the aforementioned shortcomings in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A gesture-sensor-activated dehumidifier includes a housing. A control panel and a gesture sensor are located on the top of the housing. An evaporator is installed inside the housing, and a condenser is located at the bottom of the evaporator. A water tank is slidably fitted inside the housing, positioned below the condenser. A slot corresponding to the evaporator is formed on one side of the housing. A movable frame is slidably fitted within the slot, and a filter screen is slidably fitted within the movable frame. A fixing component is provided between the movable frame and the filter screen. Locking blocks are elastically fitted on both sides of the movable frame. A slot is formed in the slot, and an adjusting frame is slidably fitted within the slot. The locking blocks engage with the slots, and one side of each locking block has a rounded corner. The inner walls of the adjusting frame have beveled angles on opposite sides. An elastic component is provided between the movable frame and the housing.

[0007] Furthermore, two grooves are formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the outer shell, and two sliders are installed at the bottom of the water tank. The two sliders slide in cooperation with the two grooves respectively. A sealing plate is provided on one side of the water tank, and a handle is installed on one side of the sealing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a support plate is installed on one side of the movable frame, an aromatherapy box is installed on the top of the support plate, and an air filter corresponding to the evaporator is provided at one end of the support plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic component includes two slide rods installed on one side of the movable frame, two grooves disposed in the housing, and two limiting plates respectively installed on one end of the two slide rods. The two slide rods are slidably engaged in the two grooves respectively, and a spring is installed between one side of the limiting plate and one side of the groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a limiting groove formed on the top of the movable frame and a rotating plate rotatably engaged with the top of the filter screen, the rotating plate being engaged with the limiting groove.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a gesture-sensing start / stop dehumidifier.

[0022] The device includes an outer casing 1, a control panel 2 and a gesture sensor 3 on the top of the casing 1, an evaporator 4 installed inside the casing 1, a condenser 5 at the bottom of the evaporator 4, a water tank 6 slidably fitted inside the casing 1, and the water tank 6 located below the condenser 5; a slot corresponding to the evaporator 4 is opened on one side of the casing 1, a movable frame 7 is slidably fitted inside the slot, a filter screen 8 is slidably fitted inside the movable frame 7, a fixing component 9 is provided between the movable frame 7 and the filter screen 8, and locking blocks 10 are elastically fitted on both sides of the movable frame 7; a slot 11 is opened in the slot, an adjusting frame 12 is slidably fitted inside the slot 11, the locking blocks 10 and the slot 11 are engaged, one side of the locking blocks 10 is rounded, the inner walls of the adjusting frame 12 are beveled on both opposite sides, and an elastic component 13 is provided between the movable frame 7 and the casing 1.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, two grooves 14 are formed at the bottom of the inner wall of the outer shell 1. Two sliders 15 are installed at the bottom of the water tank 6. The two sliders 15 slide in cooperation with the two grooves 14 respectively. A sealing plate 16 is provided on one side of the water tank 6, and a handle 17 is installed on one side of the sealing plate 16. By pulling the handle 17, the sealing plate 16 can be driven, which in turn drives the water tank 6. The water tank 6 will drive the two sliders 15, which will move along the two grooves 14 respectively. After the water tank 6 enters the outer shell 1, the sealing plate 16 will provide a certain sealing effect.

[0024] Reference Figure 3In this embodiment, a support plate 18 is installed on one side of the movable frame 7, and an aromatherapy box 19 is installed on the top of the support plate 18. An air filter 20 corresponding to the evaporator 4 is provided at one end of the support plate 18. After the movable frame 7 is pushed into the slot through the support plate 18, the support plate 18 can drive the aromatherapy box 19 and the air filter 20 into the outer shell 1. The aromatherapy box 19 contains aromatherapy to control air odors, and the air filter 20 faces the evaporator 4 to purify the air. Pulling out the movable frame 7 can move the support plate 18 out to replace the air filter 20 and aromatherapy on the support plate 18.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, the elastic component 13 includes two slide rods 21 mounted on one side of the movable frame 7, two grooves 22 disposed inside the outer casing 1, and two limiting plates 23 respectively mounted on one end of the two slide rods 21. The two slide rods 21 are slidably engaged in the two grooves 22, and a spring 24 is installed between one side of the limiting plate 23 and one side of the groove 22. By pushing the movable frame 7 through the slide rods 21, the movable frame 7 is moved, causing the slide rods 21 to push the limiting plates 23 to move. The limiting plates 23 pull the springs 24. After the movable frame 7 is released, the springs 24 will move the limiting plates 23 through elastic force, causing the limiting plates 23 to move the slide rods 21, thus pushing the movable frame 7 to move outside the outer casing 1.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment, the fixing component 9 includes a limiting groove 25 formed on the top of the movable frame 7 and a rotating plate 26 rotatably engaged with the top of the filter screen 8. The rotating plate 26 is engaged with the limiting groove 25. By using the rotating plate 26, the filter screen 8 can be pulled upward. Then, by rotating the rotating plate 26, the limiting of the filter screen 8 can be released, allowing the filter screen 8 to move up and down within the movable frame 7. Rotating the rotating plate 26 aligns it with the limiting groove 25. Moving the filter screen 8 downward causes the rotating plate 26 to enter the limiting groove 25, thus limiting and fixing the filter screen 8.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 In this embodiment, four casters 27 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the outer casing 1. An adjustment seat 28 is rotatably fitted on the top of the outer casing 1. The control panel 2 is located on the top of the adjustment seat 28. A rotation groove is provided on one side of the adjustment seat 28, and the gesture sensor 3 is rotatably fitted in the rotation groove. By rotating the adjustment seat 28, the gesture sensor 3 can be adjusted to change its orientation. Rotating the gesture sensor 3 can adjust its angle, allowing for adjustment according to the user's needs. The outer casing 1 can be moved by the four casters 27 at the bottom, moving the device to a suitable position.

[0028] Working Principle: In use, the device is first activated via the control panel 2, and then started and stopped using the gesture sensor 3. This causes the evaporator 4 to dehumidify, and moisture enters the device through the filter 8. The dehumidified water then enters the water tank 6 through the condenser 5. When the filter 8 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the moving frame 7 is pushed into the slot, causing it to move two locking blocks 10. At this time, the rounded corners of the locking blocks 10 abut against the angled corners of the adjusting frame 12, causing the locking blocks 10 to elastically retract into the moving frame 7. This allows the moving frame 7 to pass through the adjusting frame 12, after which the locking blocks 10 pop out, now positioned behind the adjusting frame 12. Releasing the pressed moving frame 7 causes the elastic component 13 to push the moving frame 7 out of the slot, causing it to move the locking blocks 10. Block 10 will push the adjustment frame 12 to move, so that the adjustment frame 12 abuts against one side of the slot 11. Then, the locking block 10 retracts along the angle of the adjustment frame 12 into the moving frame 7. The moving frame 7 will pass through the adjustment frame 12 and the slot at the same time, so that the locking block 10 will not enter the slot 11 for locking. Quickly move the moving frame 7 out. During installation, simply push the moving frame 7 into the slot so that the locking block 10 enters the slot 11 for locking. After the moving frame 7 is moved out, pull the water tank 6 out. The water tank 6 is below the moving frame 7. Then, adjust the fixing component 9 to release the fixing of the filter screen 8, so that the filter screen 8 moves downward. Part of the filter screen 8 will move into the water tank 6. Use the water in the water tank 6 to clean the filter screen 8. After cleaning, reinstall the filter screen 8 and the moving frame 7. Take out the water tank 6 and clean the accumulated water to complete the cleaning of the filter screen 8.

[0029] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
