Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dehumidifier with an air guide structure.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A dehumidifier with an air guiding structure includes a dehumidification component, a fan, and an air direction guiding component. Both the dehumidification component and the fan are installed within the air direction guiding component. The fan includes an air inlet and an air outlet, with the air outlet facing the dehumidification component. The air direction guiding component includes a first air guide sleeved around the outer edge of the fan, a second air guide sleeved around the outer edge of the dehumidification component, and a third air guide sleeve on the side of the dehumidification component facing away from the fan. The second air guide sleeve is closedly connected to both the first and third air guide sleeves. An exhaust port is provided at the free end of the third air guide sleeve.

[0006] Furthermore, a connecting air guide is provided between the first air guide and the second air guide, one end of the connecting air guide is connected to the first air guide, and the other end is connected to the second air guide; the connecting air guide extends outward from one end of the first air guide to one end of the second air guide.

[0007] Furthermore, the first air guide is a tubular structure with openings at both ends; the first air guide extends a first step and a second step in the circumferential direction at both ends, and the free end of the first step is connected to the connecting air guide.

[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of arc-shaped air guide blades are provided on the inner wall of the first air guide component, and the two ends of the air guide blades are respectively installed on the first step and the second step.

[0009] Furthermore, the air guide blades are configured to extend from the inner wall of the first air guide member toward the fan.

[0010] Furthermore, the guide vane is configured to bend from the inner wall of the first guide member in the direction of the fan's rotation.

[0011] Furthermore, the third air guide is configured as an inwardly contracting inclined structure from one end of the second air guide towards the exhaust port.

[0016] The dehumidifier with an air guide structure disclosed in this utility model has an air direction guiding component that directs airflow in a concentrated and orderly manner through the dehumidification component. The first air guide efficiently directs the air blown by the fan to the dehumidification component, ensuring that the airflow is not dispersed and that more air comes into full contact with the dehumidification component within a unit of time, thereby greatly increasing the dehumidification capacity. The second air guide surrounds the dehumidification component, further constraining the airflow and preventing turbulence and dispersion, ensuring that the airflow can pass through the dehumidification component to the maximum extent for dehumidification, significantly improving the dehumidification speed and effect. The closed connections between the air guide components, such as the connection of the second air guide to the first and third air guides respectively, form a relatively closed airflow channel, preventing airflow leakage and external interference.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This invention relates to a dehumidifier with an air guiding structure, comprising a dehumidification component 10, a fan 20, and an airflow guiding component 30. Both the dehumidification component 10 and the fan 20 are installed within the airflow guiding component 30. The fan 20 includes an air inlet 21 and an air outlet 22, with the air outlet 22 facing the dehumidification component 10. The airflow guiding component 30 includes a first air guide 31 fitted around the outer edge of the fan 20, a second air guide 32 fitted around the outer edge of the dehumidification component 10, and a third air guide 33 on the side of the dehumidification component 10 away from the fan 20. The second air guide 32 is closedly connected to both the first air guide 31 and the third air guide 33. An exhaust port 330 is provided at the free end of the third air guide 33. In this embodiment, the airflow guiding component 30 is fixedly installed using a fixing bracket 60.

[0025] The working principle of the dehumidifier with air guide structure of this utility model is as follows: When the dehumidifier with air guide structure is started, the fan 20 starts to run; the air inlet 21 of the fan 20 draws in air from the surrounding environment, and then blows the air out through the air outlet 22; since the air outlet 22 is set towards the dehumidification component 10, the blown air flows directly to the dehumidification component 10; at this time, the first air guide 31, which is fitted around the outer edge of the fan 20, guides the airflow blown out by the fan 20, making the airflow more concentrated and flowing towards the dehumidification component 10; the opening at the free end of the first air guide 31 ensures that the airflow can smoothly enter the subsequent air guide channel; the air guide 31 fitted around the dehumidification component 10... The second air guide 32 on the outer edge of the component 10 is closedly connected to the first air guide 31 to ensure that the airflow from the first air guide 31 can enter the area surrounded by the second air guide 32. On the other hand, the second air guide 32 also constrains and guides the airflow passing through the dehumidification component 10 to ensure that the airflow can fully contact the dehumidification component 10 and improve the dehumidification efficiency. The third air guide 33 located on the side of the dehumidification component 10 away from the fan 20 is closedly connected to the second air guide 32, so that the airflow after being processed by the dehumidification component 10 can flow in the direction of the exhaust port 330 under the guidance of the third air guide 33.

[0026] Compared to existing technologies, the dehumidifier with air guide structure of this utility model has an air direction guiding component 30 that can guide the airflow to flow in a concentrated and orderly manner through the dehumidification component 10; the first air guide component 31 efficiently guides the air blown by the fan 20 to the dehumidification component 10, ensuring that the air force is not dispersed, so that more air can fully contact the dehumidification component 10 per unit time, thereby greatly improving the dehumidification capacity; the second air guide component 32 surrounds the dehumidification component 10, further constraining the airflow, avoiding air turbulence and dispersion, and ensuring that the airflow can pass through the dehumidification component 10 for dehumidification to the maximum extent, significantly improving the dehumidification speed and effect; the closed connection between each air guide component, such as the connection between the second air guide component 32 and the first air guide component 31 and the third air guide component 33 respectively, forms a relatively closed airflow channel, preventing airflow leakage and external interference; making the airflow of the dehumidifier with air guide structure more stable and reliable during operation, unaffected by external factors, thereby ensuring the stability of the performance of the dehumidifier with air guide structure.

[0027] Please see Figure 2A connecting air guide 34 is provided between the first air guide 31 and the second air guide 32. One end of the connecting air guide 34 is connected to the first air guide 31, and the other end is connected to the second air guide 32. The connecting air guide 34 extends outward from one end of the first air guide 31 to one end of the second air guide 32. When the dehumidifier with the air guide structure is started, the fan 20 operates, drawing in air from the air inlet 21 and blowing it out from the air outlet 22. The blown air first enters the first air guide 31, which is fitted around the outer edge of the fan 20. Since one end of the connecting air guide 34 is connected to the first air guide 31, the airflow flows along the connecting air guide 34. The connecting air guide 34 extends outward from one end of the first air guide 31 to one end of the second air guide 32. This design gradually expands the airflow channel. As the airflow flows in the connecting air guide 34, the expansion of the channel causes the airflow velocity to gradually decrease, but the flow rate remains relatively stable. The airflow is more evenly distributed when it enters the second air guide 32. After the airflow enters the second air guide 32, which is fitted around the outer edge of the dehumidification component 10, the airflow can flow more orderly around the dehumidification component 10 under the constraint of the second air guide 32, ensuring that the air fully contacts the dehumidification component 10 for effective dehumidification. Throughout the process, the connecting air guide 34 plays a role in transitioning and regulating the airflow, so that the airflow blown out by the fan 20 can smoothly enter the second air guide 32, providing a stable and uniform airflow for the dehumidification component 10, thereby improving the working efficiency and performance of the dehumidifier with the air guide structure.

[0028] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first air guide 31 is a tubular structure with openings at both ends; the first air guide 31 has a first step 310 and a second step 311 extending outward in the circumferential direction at both ends, and the free end of the first step 310 is connected to the connecting air guide 34. The air blown out by the fan 20 enters the tubular first air guide 31 with openings at both ends. Since the first air guide 31 has a first step 310 and a second step 311 extending outward in the circumferential direction at both ends, it plays a certain role in constraining and guiding the airflow. The air flows in the first air guide 31 and gradually concentrates towards the first step 310. The free end of the first step 310 is connected to the connecting air guide 34, so that the airflow can flow smoothly from the first air guide 31 into the connecting air guide 34. In this process, the tubular structure of the first air guide 31 provides a preliminary guiding channel for the airflow, making the airflow blown out by the fan 20 more concentrated in a specific direction. The design of the first step 310 cleverly realizes the connection and transition with the connecting air guide 34, ensuring that the airflow can smoothly and efficiently enter the subsequent connecting air guide 34 and second air guide 32 from the first air guide 31, providing a stable airflow supply for the entire dehumidification process.

[0029] Please see Figure 4Multiple arc-shaped guide vanes 40 are arranged on the inner wall of the first air guide component 31, with the two ends of the guide vanes 40 respectively mounted on the first step 310 and the second step 311. When the dehumidifier with the air guide structure is started, the fan 20 operates and blows air into the first air guide component 31; when the air flows in the first air guide component 31, it will come into contact with the arc-shaped guide vanes 40; since the two ends of the guide vanes 40 are respectively mounted on the first step 310 and the second step 311, the position of the guide vanes 40 in the first air guide component 31 is fixed and stable; the arc-shaped guide vanes 40 can change the direction and speed of the airflow; when the airflow hits the guide vanes 40, the airflow will flow along the arc-shaped surface of the guide vanes 40, thereby The airflow direction is changed, becoming more orderly and focused from its original chaotic direction. At the same time, the guide vanes 40 also accelerate or decelerate the airflow. Depending on the shape and angle of the arc, the airflow speed can be adjusted to make it more suitable for the subsequent dehumidification process. After being adjusted by the guide vanes 40, the airflow connects with the connecting guide component 34 at the first step 310 and smoothly enters the next air guiding link, providing more optimized airflow conditions for the dehumidification component 10 and improving the working efficiency and performance of the dehumidifier with the air guiding structure.

[0030] The guide vane 40 is configured to extend from the inner wall of the first guide member 31 toward the fan 20; the guide vane 40 is also configured to bend from the inner wall of the first guide member 31 toward the direction of fan 20 rotation. Air blown out by the fan 20 enters the first guide member 31. First, because the guide vane 40 extends toward the fan 20, the airflow quickly contacts the guide vane 40 upon entering the first guide member 31. At this point, the guide vane 40 obstructs the straight-line movement of the airflow, causing it to change direction. Then, the guide vane 40 bends toward the direction of fan 20 rotation, causing the airflow to flow in the same direction as the fan 20. This design allows for better utilization of the kinetic energy generated by the fan 20's rotation, increasing the airflow velocity within the first guide member 31. This design improves airflow efficiency; on the other hand, the airflow flowing in the direction of fan 20 rotation is more stable and orderly, reducing turbulence and creating more ideal airflow conditions for the subsequent dehumidification process; after being guided and adjusted by the guide vanes 40, the airflow enters the connecting guide component 34 at the first step 310, and then continues to flow to the second guide component 32 and other components, finally reaching the dehumidification assembly 10 for dehumidification; through this special design of the guide vanes 40, the working efficiency and performance stability of the dehumidifier with the guide structure are improved.

[0031] Please see Figure 2The third air guide 33 is configured with an inwardly contracting inclined structure from one end of the second air guide 32 towards the exhaust port 330. Air is drawn in from the air inlet 21 and blown out from the air outlet 22; the air passes sequentially through the first air guide 31, the connecting air guide 34, and the second air guide 32 before reaching the dehumidification assembly 10; the air processed by the dehumidification assembly 10 arrives at the third air guide 33; since the third air guide 33 is configured with an inwardly contracting inclined structure from one end of the second air guide 32 towards the exhaust port 330, the inclined structure gradually compresses the airflow channel when the airflow passes through; this compression gradually increases the airflow velocity, thereby generating a certain pressure difference; under the action of the pressure difference, the airflow can flow out from the free end of the third air guide 33 at a faster speed, achieving more efficient air discharge; at the same time, the inwardly contracting inclined structure can also guide and constrain the airflow, ensuring that the airflow flows in a specific direction, avoiding turbulence and diffusion of the airflow, and improving the overall airflow control capability and working efficiency of the dehumidifier with the air guide structure.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The dehumidifier with air guide structure also includes a water collection assembly 50; the water collection assembly 50 includes a water inlet pipe 51 connected to the bottom of the second air guide 32 and a water collection component 52 connected to the free end of the water inlet pipe 51. The dehumidifier 10 absorbs and condenses moisture in the air, converting the water vapor in the air into liquid water; since the water inlet pipe 51 in the water collection assembly 50 is connected to the bottom of the second air guide 32, the condensed liquid water will flow into the water inlet pipe 51 under the action of gravity; the water inlet pipe 51 guides the liquid water to the water collection component 52 for collection; the water collection component 52 serves to store and contain this moisture, preventing moisture from re-entering other parts of the dehumidifier with air guide structure or leaking into the surrounding environment; through the setting of the water collection assembly 50, it is ensured that the dehumidifier with air guide structure can effectively collect and treat the condensed moisture in the air during operation, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the dehumidifier with air guide structure, and also facilitating the user to treat and discharge the collected moisture.

[0033] The water collecting component 52 includes an outer water collecting cylinder 520 connected to the water inlet pipe 51 and an inner water collecting cylinder 521 disposed inside the outer water collecting cylinder 520. The outer water collecting cylinder 520 is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the inner water collecting cylinder 521, and the receiving cavity is provided with an opening on one side for the inner water collecting cylinder 521 to extend into. The inner water collecting cylinder 521 is detachably installed in the receiving cavity and has a water inlet channel on one side of the water inlet pipe 51. The dehumidification component 10 absorbs moisture from the air, causing the water vapor to condense into liquid water. This liquid water flows under gravity into a water inlet pipe 51 connected to the bottom of the second air guide 32. The water in the water inlet pipe 51 flows into a water collection component 52, which consists of an outer water collection cylinder 520 and an inner water collection cylinder 521. The outer water collection cylinder 520 provides a space to accommodate the inner water collection cylinder 521, and an opening on one side facilitates the installation and removal of the inner water collection cylinder 521. The inner water collection cylinder 521 is detachably installed within the receiving cavity, and when the water in the inner water collection cylinder 521 reaches a certain level, the user can easily remove it. The water can be cleaned or poured out. The inner water collection cylinder 521 has a water inlet channel on one side of the water inlet pipe 51, through which water in the water inlet pipe 51 flows into the inner water collection cylinder 521. This design ensures smooth water flow and also allows the inner water collection cylinder 521 to independently collect and store water, making it convenient for users to manage and handle. This structural design of the water collection component 52 not only ensures that the dehumidifier with the air guide structure can effectively collect water during operation, but also facilitates the user to treat and maintain the collected water, improving the convenience and reliability of the dehumidifier with the air guide structure.

[0034] The inner water collecting cylinder 521 is equipped with a liquid level detection element 522, a heating element 523, and a cooling element 524; a water intake valve 525 extends outward from the inner water collecting cylinder 521. In this embodiment, a control system is installed inside the outer water collecting cylinder 520. The liquid level detection element 522 monitors the water level in the inner water collecting cylinder 521 in real time; when the water level reaches a certain height, the liquid level detection element 522 sends a signal to the control system of the dehumidifier with a duct structure; the control system can use this signal to remind the user to clean the water in the inner water collecting cylinder 521 in time, or automatically start other corresponding processing programs; in some cases, such as when the ambient temperature is low, the water in the inner water collecting cylinder 521 may freeze or become less fluid due to the low temperature; at this time, the heating element 523 starts to work; the heating element 523 raises the water temperature in the inner water collecting cylinder 521 to prevent the water from freezing, and at the same time can accelerate the evaporation of water and reduce the water level in the inner water collecting cylinder 521. The water volume is monitored; the heating element 523 can automatically start and stop according to the signal from the liquid level detection element 522 or the preset temperature conditions to ensure that the water in the water collecting cylinder 521 is always in a suitable state; in some special environments, such as when the ambient temperature is high, the water in the water collecting cylinder 521 may easily breed bacteria or produce odors due to excessive temperature; at this time, the cooling element 524 starts to work; the cooling element 524 lowers the water temperature in the water collecting cylinder 521, inhibits the growth of bacteria, and reduces the production of odors; the cooling element 524 can also automatically start and stop according to the signal from the liquid level detection element 522 or the preset temperature conditions to ensure that the water in the water collecting cylinder 521 maintains good quality.

[0035] The above description merely illustrates the preferred technical solution of this utility model, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
