This utility model discloses a dehumidifier with automatic drainage and water level monitoring functions, including a lower casing and an upper casing at the top of the lower casing. Fixing mechanisms are provided between the two sides of the lower casing and the two sides of the upper casing. The dehumidifier body is installed inside the upper casing, and an air outlet corresponding to the dehumidifier body is opened at the top of the upper casing. A water outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the dehumidifier body. A water collection tank corresponding to the water outlet pipe is installed inside the lower casing, and a water level monitor is installed inside the water outlet pipe. This utility model, through the designed baffle, enables the motor to be activated when the water level monitor detects that the water level exceeds the limit. The motor drives the baffle to rotate and open, allowing the water in the collection tank to quickly drain into the drain tank through the drain outlet. The drain tank then opens its drain pipe to drain water, facilitating automatic drainage based on water level conditions. This rapid drainage does not affect the use of the collection tank, reducing the need for users to manually remove the water tank and shake it to spray water.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifier technology, specifically to a dehumidifier with automatic drainage and water level monitoring functions. Background Technology

[0002] A dehumidifier, also known as a constant temperature dehumidifier, uses an evaporator and a condenser to process the air, thereby achieving the purpose of temperature regulation and dehumidification. During its operation, it recovers the condensation heat of the system to make up for the heat lost in the air due to cooling and dehumidification, making it a highly efficient and energy-saving dehumidification method.

[0003] Existing dehumidifiers produce condensate during use, which is collected in the dehumidifier's water tank. The water tank needs to be removed periodically to clean the condensate, and there is no water accumulation in the tank. Currently, when users manually remove the water tank, it shakes and spills water, and the water pump generates noise when pumping out the condensate. There is an urgent need to design a dehumidifier with automatic drainage and water level monitoring functions to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dehumidifier with automatic drainage and water level monitoring functions 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 dehumidifier with automatic drainage and water level monitoring functions includes a lower casing, an upper casing at the top of the lower casing, and fixing mechanisms between the two sides of the lower casing and the two sides of the upper casing. A dehumidifier body is installed inside the upper casing, and an air outlet corresponding to the dehumidifier body is opened at the top of the upper casing. A water outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the dehumidifier body. A water collection tank corresponding to the water outlet pipe is installed inside the lower casing, and a water level monitor is installed inside the water outlet pipe. A drain outlet is opened on one side of the water collection tank, and a baffle corresponding to the drain outlet is rotatably fitted on one side of the water collection tank. A motor is installed on one side of the water collection tank, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle. A drain tank is installed inside the lower casing, located below the drain outlet. A drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the drain tank, and a buoyancy mechanism is provided inside the drain tank. A sealing plug corresponding to the drain pipe is provided at the bottom of the buoyancy mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the upper housing is provided with two insert blocks, and the top of the lower housing is provided with two slots, with the two insert blocks respectively engaging with the two slots.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes a rotating plate rotatably fitted on one side of the upper housing, two fixing rods installed on one side of the lower housing, and two fixing slots respectively opened at the top of one end and the bottom of the other end of the rotating plate. The two fixing rods are respectively engaged with the two fixing slots, and a fixing bolt is provided on one side of the rotating plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a water collection hopper is installed on the top of the water collection tank, and the water collection hopper corresponds to the dehumidifier body.

[0010] Furthermore, a guide ramp is installed on one side of the water collection tank, the guide ramp is located below the water outlet, a sealing ring corresponding to the water outlet is provided on one side of the baffle plate, and side plates are installed on both sides of the baffle plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the buoyancy mechanism includes two sliding rods installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the drainage tank, a lifting plate slidably fitted between the two sliding rods, two springs respectively sleeved on the periphery of the two sliding rods, a first float installed on the top of the lifting plate, and a second float installed at the bottom of the sealing plug, with the two springs located at the top of the lifting plate.

[0012] In the above technical solution, the dehumidifier with automatic drainage and water level monitoring function provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The water baffle plate allows the water level monitor to detect when the water level exceeds the limit and activate the motor. The motor drives the water baffle plate to rotate and open, allowing the water in the collection tank to be quickly discharged into the drain tank through the drain outlet. This enables the drain tank to open its drain pipe and drain water automatically based on the water level. The rapid drainage does not affect the use of the collection tank and reduces the need for users to manually remove the water tank and shake it to spray water. The buoyancy mechanism is activated when the water level in the drain tank is too high. This mechanism moves the sealing plug upward, opening the drain pipe to drain water. This allows the drain tank to drain water after storing a certain amount of water, reducing noise from the water pump. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a dehumidifier with automatic drainage and water level monitoring functions.

[0023] The device includes a lower housing 1, an upper housing 2 on top of the lower housing 1, and fixing mechanisms 3 between the two sides of the lower housing 1 and the two sides of the upper housing 2. A dehumidifier body 4 is installed inside the upper housing 2. An air outlet 5 corresponding to the dehumidifier body 4 is opened at the top of the upper housing 2, and a water outlet pipe 6 is installed at the bottom of the dehumidifier body 4. A water collection tank 7 corresponding to the water outlet pipe 6 is installed inside the lower housing 1. A water level monitor 8 is installed inside the water outlet pipe 6. A drain outlet 9 is opened on one side of the water collection tank 7. A baffle plate 10 corresponding to the drain outlet 9 is rotatably fitted on one side of the water collection tank 7. A motor 11 is installed on one side of the water collection tank 7, and the output end of the motor 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle plate 10. A drain tank 12 is installed inside the lower housing 1, located below the drain outlet 9. A drain pipe 13 is installed at the bottom of the drain tank 12. A buoyancy mechanism 14 is installed inside the drain tank 12, and a sealing plug 15 corresponding to the drain pipe 13 is installed at the bottom of the buoyancy mechanism 14.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, the bottom of the upper housing 2 is provided with two insert blocks 16, and the top of the lower housing 1 is provided with two slots 17. The two insert blocks 16 are respectively inserted into the two slots 17. By using the provided insert blocks 16, when installing the upper housing 2, the two insert blocks 16 are respectively aligned with the two slots 17, and then the insert blocks 16 are inserted into the slots 17 to position and install the upper housing 2.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 The fixing mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a rotating plate 18 rotatably fitted on one side of the upper housing 2, two fixing rods 19 installed on one side of the lower housing 1, and two fixing slots 20 respectively opened at the top of one end and the bottom of the other end of the rotating plate 18. The two fixing rods 19 are respectively engaged with the two fixing slots 20. A fixing bolt 21 is provided on one side of the rotating plate 18. By rotating the rotating plate 18, the two fixing rods 19 can be moved into the two fixing slots 20 and engaged. Then, the fixing bolt 21 is tightened to fix the rotating plate 18, thereby connecting and fixing the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 2.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 In this embodiment, a water collection hopper 22 is installed on the top of the water collection tank 7, and the water collection hopper 22 corresponds to the dehumidifier body 4. The water collection hopper 22 can catch the condensate discharged from the water outlet pipe 6, and allow the condensate to enter the water collection tank 7 through the water collection hopper 22, preventing the condensate from spraying out.

[0027] Reference Figure 4In this embodiment, a guide ramp 23 is installed on one side of the water collection tank 7, and the guide ramp 23 is located below the drain outlet 9. A sealing ring 24 corresponding to the drain outlet 9 is provided on one side of the baffle plate 10, and side plates 25 are installed on both sides of the baffle plate 10. Through the guide ramp 23, the water discharged from the drain outlet 9 can enter the drain tank 12 through the guide ramp 23. At the same time, the baffle plate 10 blocks the top, and the two side plates 25 block the sides. When the baffle plate 10 is in contact with the drain outlet 9, the sealing ring 24 will enter the drain outlet 9 to seal it.

[0028] Reference Figure 5 The buoyancy mechanism 14 in this embodiment includes two sliding rods 26 installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the drainage tank 12, a lifting plate 27 slidably fitted between the two sliding rods 26, two springs 28 respectively sleeved on the sides of the two sliding rods 26, a first float 29 installed on the top of the lifting plate 27, and a second float 30 installed on the bottom of the sealing plug 15. The two springs 28 are located on the top of the lifting plate 27. When the water level in the drain tank 12 exceeds the first float 29, the first float 29 will move upward according to the height of the water level, causing the first float 29 to drive the lifting plate 27 to move upward. The upward movement of the lifting plate 27 will squeeze the spring 28 and pull the sealing plug 15, moving the sealing plug 15 out of the drain pipe 13, so that the water in the drain tank 12 will be discharged through the drain pipe 13. At the same time, the water level will lift the second float 30, preventing the sealing plug 15 from closing with the drain pipe 13. After the drainage is completed, the spring 28 will drive the lifting plate 27 to move downward, causing the lifting plate 27 to drive the sealing plug 15 downward, and the sealing plug 15 will enter the drain pipe 13 to seal it.

[0029] Working principle: When in use, first start the device. The dehumidifier body 4 inside the device will extract moisture through the vent and then exhaust the dehumidified air through the air outlet 5. The water vapor generated during this process will be discharged into the water collection tank 7 through the water outlet pipe 6. The water level monitor 8 inside the device will monitor the water level in the water collection tank 7. When the water level in the water collection tank 7 exceeds the warning value, the motor 11 will start to drive the baffle plate 10 to rotate. The rotation of the baffle plate 10 will open the drain outlet 9, allowing the water in the water collection tank 7 to be quickly discharged into the drain tank 12 through the drain outlet 9. After the water in the water collection tank 7 is drained, The motor 11 drives the baffle plate 10 to block and seal the drain outlet 9, which does not affect the normal use of the water collection tank 7. When there is a lot of water in the drain tank 12, the buoyancy mechanism 14 will be activated, which will drive the sealing plug 15 to move upward. The sealing plug 15 moves upward and opens the drain pipe 13, allowing the water in the drain tank 12 to be discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 13. The device can also separate the lower shell 1 and the upper shell 2. After the fixing mechanism 3 is activated to release the fixing, the upper shell 2 can be removed from the lower shell 1, which can be used to maintain the water collection tank 7 and the drain tank 12 in the lower shell 1.

[0030] 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.
