[0002] A dehumidifier is a device that reduces the moisture and humidity in indoor air. Its use is becoming increasingly widespread and important in many public and residential settings.

[0003] A dehumidifier typically consists of a refrigeration system, a housing system, a fan system, and an electronic control system. The refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator. Indoor air is introduced into the housing and exchanges heat with the evaporator and condenser in sequence. Moisture in the introduced air condenses on the evaporator, reducing the humidity of the introduced air. The condenser compensates for the reduced humidity by adjusting the temperature of the air before it is exhausted back into the room through the fan system's outlet.

[0004] In dehumidifiers, the water tank is usually placed at the bottom of the casing, requiring users to bend down to lift it, which affects the user experience. In addition, dehumidifiers usually have wheels at the bottom, which are inconvenient to store when transporting the dehumidifier or when not using the wheels. Utility Model Content

[0056] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a dehumidifier according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown in some embodiments of the present invention, the dehumidifier includes a housing 1. The housing 1 can be configured as the outer shell of the dehumidifier. The interior of the housing 1 can be used to provide installation space.

[0058] In some embodiments, the housing 1 may have a hollow cuboid structure. The length of the housing 1 may be arranged along the height, allowing the dehumidifier to be installed vertically in the usage area, increasing the height of the dehumidifier and reducing its space occupation. It should be noted that in other embodiments, the external shape of the housing 1 can be designed as needed and is not limited here.

[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the dehumidifier may include rollers 13. The rollers 13 may be disposed on the bottom surface of the housing 1. The rollers 13 facilitate the overall movement of the housing 1. Multiple rollers 13 may be provided, and the multiple rollers 13 are arranged at intervals on the bottom surface of the housing 1. The cooperation of multiple rollers 13 can improve the stability of the movement of the housing 1.

[0060] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An internal structural diagram. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the dehumidifier includes a dehumidification device disposed within the housing space 10 of the casing 1. The dehumidification device can be a refrigeration system 20. The refrigeration system 20 can be disposed within the housing space 10 of the casing 1. The refrigeration system 20 includes a compressor 21, a condenser 22, and an evaporator 23. The compressor 21, condenser 22, and evaporator 23 are connected end-to-end to form a refrigerant circulation loop. The refrigerant circulates within the refrigerant circulation loop formed by the compressor 21, condenser 22, and evaporator 23. The compressor 21 compresses the refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser 22. The condenser 22 condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process. The evaporator 23 evaporates the expanded refrigerant and returns the refrigerant gas, which is in a low-temperature and low-pressure state, to the compressor 21. The evaporator 23 can achieve a cooling effect by utilizing the latent heat of refrigerant evaporation to exchange heat with the surrounding environment.

[0062] During the refrigerant cycle, the refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat in the evaporator 23 and condenses and releases heat in the condenser 22. Indoor air can be introduced into the casing 1, coming into contact with the evaporator 23 and condenser 22 successively. The evaporator 23 condenses and cools the flowing air, and water vapor condenses on the evaporator 23 to form condensate, reducing the humidity and temperature of the air. The condenser 22 reheats the cooled and dehumidified air before discharging it into the room, thereby maintaining a suitable indoor air temperature and adjusting the indoor air humidity.

[0063] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the dehumidification device may also employ other types of dehumidification systems as needed.

[0064] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the housing 1 has a receiving space 10. The refrigerant circulation loop can be located within the receiving space 10. The compressor 21, evaporator 23, and condenser 22 can each be located within the receiving space 10.

[0065] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the receiving space 10 may be located in the lower space inside the housing 1. Thus, the compressor 21, evaporator 23, and condenser 22 may each be located in the lower space inside the housing 1.

[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, an air inlet 101 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 1. The air inlet 101 can be located on the side wall of the housing 1. The air inlet 101 can be located on the side wall of the housing 1 corresponding to the accommodating space 10. The air inlet 101 can be arranged opposite to the evaporator 23. The air inlet 101 can be used to introduce indoor air. Indoor air can enter the housing 1 through the air inlet 101, first contacting the evaporator 23, and then condensing and cooling the introduced indoor air. Water vapor condenses on the evaporator 23 to form condensate, reducing the humidity and temperature of the air.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, an air inlet grille 1011 is provided at the air inlet 101. The air inlet grille 1011 can be detachably provided at the air inlet 101. In this way, indoor air can enter the interior of the housing 1 through the grille holes in the air inlet grille 1011. In addition, the air inlet grille 1011 can block the air inlet 101 to prevent foreign objects from entering the air inlet 101 and coming into contact with the evaporator 23, which helps to improve the safety and stability of the dehumidifier.

[0068] Figure 4 yes Figure 2 Partially decomposed structure diagram.

[0069] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the condenser 22 can be located on one side of the evaporator 23 in the horizontal direction. The condenser 22 can be located on the side of the evaporator 23 away from the air inlet 101. In this way, after indoor air is introduced into the casing 1, it can flow through the evaporator 23 and the condenser 22 in sequence. The evaporator 23 can condense and cool the flowing air, and then the condenser 22 can heat it up before it is discharged back into the room.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, an air outlet 102 is provided on the outer wall of the housing 1. The air outlet 102 can be located on the side wall of the housing 1. The air outlet 102 can be located on the side wall of the housing 1 corresponding to the accommodating space 10. The air dehumidified by the evaporator 23 and the condenser 22 can flow back into the room through the air outlet 102.

[0071] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the dehumidifier includes a fan assembly 24. The fan assembly 24 is disposed in the receiving space 10 inside the casing 1.

The air intake 2411 of the fan assembly 24 may be arranged towards the condenser 22. The air exhaust 2412 of the fan assembly 24 may be arranged opposite to the air outlet 102 of the casing 1. The fan assembly 24 can be used to generate airflow, thereby introducing indoor air into the casing 1, allowing the indoor air to smoothly enter the casing 1 through the air inlet 101, flow sequentially through the evaporator 23 and the condenser 22, enter the fan assembly 24 through the air intake 2411, and then exit the casing 1 through the air exhaust 2412 and the air outlet 102, thus discharging the dehumidified air into the room.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, an air outlet grille 1021 is provided at the air outlet 102. The air outlet grille 1021 can be detachably provided at the air outlet 102. In this way, the air dehumidified by the evaporator 23 and condenser 22 can be discharged from the casing 1 through the grille holes of the air outlet grille 1021 and returned to the room. In addition, the air outlet grille 1021 can cover the air outlet 102 to prevent foreign objects from entering the air outlet 102 and contacting the fan assembly 24, which helps to improve the safety and stability of the dehumidifier.

[0073] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the fan assembly 24 includes a duct housing 241. The duct housing 241 may be located on the side of the condenser 22 away from the evaporator 23. An air intake 2411 is located on the side of the duct housing 241 facing the condenser 22. An air exhaust 2412 is located on the side of the duct housing 241 facing the air outlet 102. Indoor air enters the housing 1 through the air intake 101, flows sequentially through the evaporator 23 and the condenser 22, enters the duct housing 241 through the air intake 2411, and is then discharged from the housing 1 through the air exhaust 2412 and the air outlet 102.

[0074] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 24 includes a fan wheel 242. The fan wheel 242 is rotatably disposed within the duct housing 241. The fan wheel 242 is arranged opposite to the air intake 2411. When the fan wheel 242 rotates, the airflow from the fan wheel 242 can discharge the air in the duct housing 241 through the exhaust port 2412 and the outlet port 102 to the casing 1, and generate suction at the air intake 2411, causing indoor air to enter the casing 1 through the air inlet 101, flow sequentially through the evaporator 23 and the condenser 22, and then enter the duct housing 241 through the air intake 2411.

[0075] In some embodiments, the duct housing 241 may be a volute structure. The impeller 242 may be a turbine structure.

[0076] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 24 includes a drive motor 243. The drive motor 243 may be disposed on the inner side wall of the housing 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 243 may be coaxially connected to the impeller 242. When the drive motor 243 is running, the drive motor 243 can drive the impeller 242 to rotate within the duct housing 241, thereby generating wind power within the duct housing 241.

[0077] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the fan assembly 24 includes a fan shroud 244. The fan shroud 244 may be disposed on the side of the duct housing 241 facing the condenser 22. The fan shroud 244 may be disposed between the duct housing 241 and the condenser 22. An air cavity 2441 may be formed inside the fan shroud 244. The side of the air cavity 2441 near the duct housing 241 is connected to the air intake 2411. An opening is formed on the side of the air cavity 2441 near the condenser 22. The opening of the air cavity 2441 may be arranged opposite to the side wall of the condenser 22 away from the evaporator 23. The opening of the air cavity 2441 may conform to the contour of the condenser 22. The contour of the condenser 22 may conform to the contour of the evaporator 23 and the contour of the air inlet 101. The air cavity 2441 inside the fan cover 244 can smoothly introduce the indoor air flowing through the evaporator 23 and condenser 22 into the air duct shell 241 through the air intake 2411, thereby improving the air intake efficiency of the indoor air, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the indoor air and the evaporator 23 and condenser 22, and thus improving the dehumidification efficiency of the dehumidifier.

The water collection box 25 may be disposed below the evaporator 23. The evaporator 23 may be disposed above the water collection box 25. The condenser 22 may be disposed above the water collection box 25. The water collection box 25 is used to collect condensate flowing down the outer wall of the evaporator 23. The condensate generated on the evaporator 23 can flow downwards along the outer wall of the evaporator 23 and be collected in the water collection box 25.

[0079] In some embodiments, the dehumidifier includes a base 15. The base 15 may be located in the bottom region within the housing 1. A receiving space 10 may be formed in the space above the base 15. The compressor 21, condenser 22, evaporator 23, and fan assembly 24 may be supported on the base 15.

Thus, by placing the water tank 3 in the top area of ​​the housing 1, and using a lifting installation method, the problem of users needing to squat to lift the water tank 3 in other dehumidifiers can be solved, as can the problem of water spillage from the water tank 3, improving the convenience of using the water tank 3.

[0084] Figure 6 yes Figure 5A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0085] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a receiving cavity 40 is provided in the top region of the housing 1. The receiving cavity 40 can extend downward from the top surface of the housing 1. The water tank 3 can be installed in the receiving cavity 40 from top to bottom. The receiving cavity 40 can be located above the receiving space 10, and the receiving space 10 can be located below the receiving cavity 40, forming a two-layer structure inside the housing 1. When the water tank 3 is installed in the receiving cavity 40 of the housing 1 from top to bottom, the top surface of the water tank 3 can be exposed above the top surface of the housing 1, and the side wall of the water tank 3 can be hidden inside the receiving cavity 40. By arranging the water tank 3 in the upper receiving cavity 40 inside the housing 1, and arranging the compressor 21, condenser 22, evaporator 23, fan assembly 24, etc. in the lower receiving space 10 inside the housing 1, the upper space inside the housing 1 can be fully utilized, which is beneficial to increasing the effective volume inside the water tank 3.

[0086] Figure 7 yes Figure 5 Structural diagram of the middle water tank 3. Figure 8 yes Figure 7 A structural diagram from another perspective. Figure 9 yes Figure 6 Structural diagram of inner liner 4.

[0087] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, guide ribs 403 may be provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity 40, extending upward from the bottom of the receiving cavity 40. Guide grooves 303 may be provided on the outer side wall of the water tank 3, extending upward from the bottom of the water tank 3. When the water tank 3 is placed in the receiving cavity 40 from top to bottom, the guide ribs 403 can be inserted into the guide grooves 303 from bottom to top. Through the alignment and cooperation of the guide ribs 403 and the guide grooves 303, the water tank 3 can be positioned within the receiving cavity 40 during the process of placing the water tank 3 from top to bottom, thereby improving the stability of the water tank 3 within the receiving cavity 40.

[0088] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the width of the guide groove 303 gradually decreases from bottom to top. The wider bottom end of the guide groove 303 makes it easier for the tip of the positioning rib 404 to enter the bottom port of the guide groove 303. During the process of placing the water tank 3 into the receiving cavity 40 from top to bottom, the tip of the positioning rib 404 can gradually move towards the tip of the guide groove 303, thereby gradually and accurately positioning the water tank 3 within the receiving cavity 40.

[0089] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a guide ramp 401 may be provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity 40. In the top-to-bottom direction, the guide ramp 401 may be inclined downwards towards the interior of the receiving cavity 40. A support ramp 301 that cooperates with the guide ramp 401 may be provided on the outer side wall of the water tank 3. In the top-to-bottom direction, the support ramp 301 may be inclined downwards towards the center of the water tank 3. When the water tank 3 is placed in the receiving cavity 40 from top to bottom, the bottom end of the side wall of the water tank 3 can first slide against the guide ramp 401, allowing the side wall of the water tank 3 to slide downwards along the guide ramp 401, so that the guide rib 403 can be smoothly inserted into the guide groove 303, thereby accurately placing the water tank 3 in the receiving cavity 40. After the bottom of the water tank 3 is in place in the receiving cavity 40, the support ramp 301 can support it on the guide ramp 401, improving the stability of the water tank 3 in the receiving cavity 40.

[0090] In some embodiments, the guide ramp 401 and the guide rib 403 may be disposed on the same side wall of the receiving cavity 40. The guide rib 403 is disposed below the guide ramp 401, and the guide ramp 401 is disposed above the guide rib 403. The top of the guide rib 403 may extend to the bottom edge of the guide ramp 401. Correspondingly, the support ramp 301 and the guide groove 303 may be disposed on the same outer side wall of the water tank 3. The guide groove 303 is disposed below the support ramp 301, and the support ramp 301 is disposed above the guide groove 303. The top of the guide groove 303 may extend to the bottom edge of the support ramp 301. By having the guide ramp 401 and guide rib 403 located on the same side wall of the receiving cavity 40, and the supporting ramp 301 and guide groove 303 located on the same outer side wall of the water tank 3, when the water tank 3 is placed in the receiving cavity 40 from top to bottom, the side wall of the water tank 3 can slide down along the guide ramp 401 to the bottom edge of the guide ramp 401, thereby allowing the top of the guide rib 403 to be smoothly inserted into the guide groove 303 from the bottom of the guide groove 303, thus enabling the water tank 3 to be accurately placed in the receiving cavity 40, improving the placement efficiency of the water tank 3.

[0091] Figure 10 yes Figure 9 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0092] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, in some embodiments, a positioning rib 404 may be provided on the side edge of the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 40 away from the guide rib 403. The positioning rib 404 and the guide rib 403 may be respectively provided on opposite sides of the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 40. The height of the positioning rib 404 may be lower than the height of the guide rib 403. A positioning opening 304 may be provided on the side edge of the bottom of the water tank 3 away from the guide groove 303. The positioning opening 304 and the guide groove 303 may be respectively provided on opposite sides of the bottom surface of the water tank 3. The height of the positioning opening 304 may be lower than the height of the guide groove 303. When the water tank 3 is placed in the receiving cavity 40 from top to bottom, as the guide rib 403 gradually inserts upward along the guide groove 303 into the top area of ​​the guide groove 303, the positioning rib 404 can be aligned and engaged in the positioning opening 304, so that the opposite sides of the water tank 3 can be respectively engaged and fixed at the opposite side walls of the receiving cavity, improving the placement accuracy of the water tank 3 and improving the stability of the water tank 3 in the receiving cavity.

[0093] In some embodiments, a positioning post 405 extending upward may be provided on the inner bottom surface of the receiving cavity 40. A positioning hole 305 may be provided on the bottom surface of the water tank 3. The positioning hole 305 and the positioning post 405 are arranged opposite to each other. When the water tank 3 is placed in the receiving cavity 40, the positioning post 405 is aligned and inserted into the positioning hole 305. By cooperating with the positioning post 405 and the positioning hole 305, the bottom surface of the water tank 3 can be fixed on the inner bottom surface of the receiving cavity 40, the position of the bottom surface of the water tank 3 can be adjusted, and thus the stability of the water tank 3 in the receiving tank can be improved.

[0094] like Figure 6 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the dehumidifier may include an inner liner 4. The inner liner 4 is disposed inside the housing 1. The inner liner 4 may be disposed in the top region of the housing 1. A receiving space 10 may be formed below the bottom of the inner liner 4. A receiving cavity 40 may be formed inside the inner liner 4. The top of the inner liner 4 may extend to the top surface of the housing 1, thereby allowing the top of the receiving cavity 40 to extend upward to the top surface of the housing 1. The peripheral sidewall of the top of the housing 1 covers the outer peripheral wall of the inner liner 4. The inner liner 4 can be used to improve the structural strength of the upper region inside the housing 1, allowing the water tank 3 to be stably placed in the receiving cavity 40 and supported on the inner liner 4. In addition, the peripheral sidewall of the top of the housing 1 covering the outer peripheral wall of the inner liner 4 can also improve the structural strength of the upper region inside the housing 1 and maintain the clean appearance of the dehumidifier.

[0095] In some embodiments, a control section 41 is formed on one side of the inner liner 4. A receiving cavity 40 may be formed on one side of the control section 41. The dehumidifier may include a control panel 14. The control panel 14 may be provided with multiple buttons and can be used by the user to control the dehumidifier's on / off operation. The control panel 14 may be located on the top of the control section 41 and may be exposed on the top surface of the housing 1. The top of the control section 41 can provide installation space for the control panel 14, allowing the control panel 14 to be located on the top surface of the housing 1 and to be kept away from the water tank 3, preventing the control panel 14 from contacting the water in the water tank 3.

[0096] like Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, a mounting cavity 410 may be formed on the side of the control unit 41 away from the receiving cavity 40. The mounting cavity 410 may be located above the receiving space 10. The dehumidifier may include an electrical control box assembly 5. The electrical control box assembly 5 may be disposed within the mounting cavity 410. The mounting cavity 410 within the control unit 41 may be used to provide mounting space for the electrical control box assembly 5. The control panel 14 may be disposed above the top of the mounting cavity 410. The control unit 41 may isolate the water tank 3 from the electrical control box assembly 5, preventing the electrical control box assembly 5 from contacting the water in the water tank 3. Furthermore, the electrical control box assembly 5 may be disposed above the receiving space 10, so that the electrical control box assembly 5 can avoid contact with the evaporator 23, condenser 22, etc., preventing condensate from the surface of the evaporator 23 or condenser 22 from entering the electrical control box assembly 5.

[0097] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the peripheral sidewall of the inner liner 4 may be provided with a surrounding plate 42. The surrounding plate 42 may be arranged around the periphery of the receiving cavity 40. The top of the surrounding plate 42 may extend to the top of the control unit 41. The receiving cavity 40 may be enclosed between the sidewall of the surrounding plate 42 and the control unit 41. For example, the receiving cavity 40 may be a cavity structure with a square outline. The surrounding plate 42 may encircle three sidewalls of the receiving cavity 40 with a square outline, and the sidewall of the control unit 41 facing the receiving cavity 40 may form a fourth sidewall of the receiving cavity 40 with a square outline. The peripheral sidewall of the water tank 3 may be hidden inside the control unit 41 and the surrounding plate 42. The surrounding plate 42 may be arranged along the inner side of the peripheral sidewall of the housing 1. By arranging the surrounding plate 42 close to the inner sidewall of the housing 1, the volume of the water tank 3 can be effectively increased, thereby increasing the effective internal volume of the water tank 3.

[0098] Figure 11 yes Figure 10 A structural diagram from another perspective.

[0099] like Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, in some embodiments, a recessed relief groove 406 may be provided on the bottom surface of the inner liner 4, and a positioning part 402 may protrude from the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 40 at the position corresponding to the relief groove 406.

The compressor capacitor 211 is located in the top region of the receiving space 10. The compressor capacitor 211 may be located below the bottom of the inner liner 4, and the top of the compressor capacitor 211 may be received within the relief groove 406. The relief groove 406 can provide installation space for the compressor capacitor 211, improving the space utilization rate inside the housing 1. In addition, a positioning part 402 may be formed on the bottom surface of the receiving cavity 40 at the position corresponding to the relief groove 406. When the bottom of the water tank 3 is placed inside the receiving cavity 40 from top to bottom, the positioning part 402 can fit into the positioning groove 302 on the bottom surface of the water tank 3, so that the groove wall of the positioning groove 302 is supported on the positioning part 402. The cooperation between the positioning part 402 and the positioning groove 302 can improve the stability of the bottom of the water tank 3 in the receiving cavity 40.

[0100] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide ramp 401 may be provided on the inner sidewall of the enclosure 42 away from the control portion 41. The guide rib 403 may be provided on the inner sidewall of the enclosure 42 away from the control portion 41.

[0101] like Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the positioning rib 404 may be provided in the bottom region of the side wall of the control unit 41 facing the receiving cavity 40.

[0102] Figure 12 yes Figure 9 A decomposed structure diagram.

[0103] like Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the enclosure 42 can extend to the top surface of the housing 1. The top edge of the enclosure 42 can be provided with a flange 421 extending upwards at an angle towards the outside of the receiving cavity 40. The flange 421 can extend upwards to the top edge of the peripheral sidewall of the housing 1.

With the flange 421 arranged around the periphery of the top port of the receiving cavity 40, and in conjunction with the upwardly extending structure of the flange 421, the water tank 3 can be more easily placed inside the receiving cavity 40. When the water tank 3 is placed inside the receiving cavity 40 from top to bottom, the bottom edge of the water tank 3 can abut against the flange 421 and slide downwards along the flange 421, thus easily falling into the receiving cavity 40 from the top port, reducing the difficulty of placing the water tank 3 and improving user convenience.

[0104] like Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a mating rib 141 may be provided around the periphery of the control panel 14. The mating rib 141 extends upward at an angle toward the outer side of the housing 1. The angle of inclination of the mating rib 141 is the same as the angle of inclination of the flange rib 421. One end of the mating rib 141 is connected to one end of the flange rib 421, and the other end of the mating rib 141 is connected to the other end of the flange rib 421, so that the mating rib 141 and the flange rib 421 can be combined to form a ring structure. This ring structure is provided around the top of the periphery of the housing 1, making the top surface of the housing 1 look neater and more aesthetically pleasing.

[0105] like Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a nozzle 43 may be provided on the side wall of the control unit 41 facing the receiving cavity 40. The outlet end of the drain pump 27 may communicate with the nozzle 43. When the water tank 3 is placed in the receiving cavity 40, the nozzle 43 may be arranged facing the inside of the water tank 3. The drain pump 27 draws water from the water receiving box 25 and sprays it into the water tank 3 through the nozzle 43, where it is collected.

[0106] like Figure 5 , Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a storage groove 411 may be provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity 40. The roller 13 may be detachably provided at the bottom of the housing 1. The roller 13 can be removed from the bottom of the housing 1 and placed in the storage groove 411, thereby facilitating the user to install the roller 13 as needed. For example, when the user does not install the roller 13, the roller 13 can be placed in the storage groove 411 to prevent the roller 13 from being lost. When the roller 13 needs to be installed, the roller 13 is taken out from the storage groove 411 and installed on the bottom surface of the housing 1. In addition, when the water tank 3 is placed in the receiving cavity 40, the water tank 3 can cover the storage groove 411 to prevent the roller 13 from being exposed outside the housing 1.

[0107] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the storage groove 411 can be formed on the inner sidewall of the liner 4. The interior of the liner 4 can provide installation space for the storage groove 411, that is, the interior of the liner 4 can provide storage space for the roller 13, thereby improving the space utilization rate inside the liner 4.

[0108] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, the storage slot 411 may be provided on the side wall of the control unit 41 facing the receiving cavity 40. The interior of the control unit 41 can provide installation space for the storage slot 411, that is, the interior of the control unit 41 can provide storage space for the roller 13, thereby improving the space utilization rate inside the control unit 41.

[0109] like Figure 3 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a boss 412 is provided on the side wall of the mounting cavity 410. The boss 412 is arranged opposite to the receiving groove 411.

The electrical control box assembly 5 can be provided below the boss 412. By providing the electrical control box assembly 5 below the boss 412, the space utilization rate within the mounting cavity 410 can be improved, providing installation space for the receiving groove 411 and the roller 13, and improving the space utilization rate within the control unit 41.

[0110] like Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments, a storage box 44 may be provided inside the storage slot 411 for storing the rollers 13. The storage box 44 is detachably disposed inside the storage slot 411. The rollers 13 are detachably disposed inside the storage box 44 and can be placed in the storage slot 411 along with the storage box 44. By first storing the rollers 13 in the storage box 44 and then placing the storage box 44 in the storage slot 411, it is convenient to confine multiple rollers 13 within the storage box 44, preventing the rollers 13 from rolling in the storage slot 411, thereby avoiding collisions between the rollers 13 and the inner wall of the storage slot 411 during transportation.

A stepped portion 4111 may be provided on the side wall of the storage slot 411 away from the storage cavity. When the roller 13 is placed in the storage slot 411 along with the storage box 44, the connecting post 131 is exposed outside the storage box 44 and arranged on the stepped portion 4111. By providing the stepped portion 4111 on the side wall of the storage slot 411, the connecting post 131 can be supported on the stepped portion 4111, improving the stability of the roller 13; at the same time, the stepped portion 4111 can help reduce the space of the storage slot 411 and improve the space utilization rate inside the inner liner 4.

[0113] like Figure 12 and Figure 13As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the storage slot 411 has an opening. The control panel 14 is disposed over the top of the storage slot 411, thereby covering the top opening of the storage slot 411.

The tank body 31 and the tank cover 32 can be combined to form a complete water tank 3 structure, so that the water storage cavity 310 is enclosed within the tank body 31 and the tank cover 32.

[0128] In some embodiments, the lid 32 is detachably disposed on the top of the box body 31. A first latch 311 may be provided at the peripheral edge of the top opening of the box body 31. A first buckle 321 extending downward is provided at the peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the lid 32. When the lid 32 is placed on the top of the box body 31, the first buckle 321 can extend into the box body 31 and be disposed on the inner side wall of the box body 31, engaging with the first latch 311 to fix the peripheral edge of the lid 32 to the peripheral edge of the top opening of the box body 31.

[0129] In some embodiments, multiple first buckles 321 may be provided, and the multiple first buckles 321 may be arranged sequentially and spaced apart along the peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the lid 32. Multiple first latches 311 may be provided, and the multiple first latches 311 may be arranged sequentially and spaced apart along the peripheral edge of the top opening of the box body 31. The multiple first latches 311 may be arranged corresponding to the multiple first buckles 321 respectively. The multiple first latches 311 may cooperate with the multiple first buckles 321 to fix the peripheral edge of the lid 32 to the peripheral edge of the top opening of the box body 31 respectively, thereby making the lid 32 stably cover the top of the box body 31.

[0130] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the water tank 3 may include a handle 33. The handle 33 is provided on the tank cover 32. The user can pull the handle 33 upwards to remove the water tank 3 from the housing 1, or easily pull the water tank 3 downwards into the housing 1, making it convenient for the user to operate.

[0131] like Figure 7 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover 32 may have a notch 322. A handle 33 is vertically and flexibly inserted through the notch 322. The upper end of the handle 33 protrudes from the top surface of the cover 32, and the lower end of the handle 33 extends into the water storage cavity 310. The handle 33 can be raised and lowered relative to the notch 322, allowing the user to press the handle 33 downwards, so that most of the lifted portion is housed inside the water tank 3, reducing the space occupied above the top surface of the cover 32, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the dehumidifier and improving the effective volume of the water tank 3. When the user needs to lift the water tank 3, the handle 33 can be pulled upwards to lift the water tank 3 from the housing 1, or the water tank 3 can be lifted and placed inside the housing 1 for user convenience.

[0132] like Figure 7 and Figure 16 As shown, in some embodiments, when the handle 33 descends relative to the notch area 322, the top surface of the handle 33 can be flush with the top surface of the tank cover 32, thereby maintaining the overall neat and beautiful appearance of the top surface of the water tank 3.

[0133] In some embodiments, the top surface of the lid 32 may be recessed with a relief groove 323. At least a portion of the notch area 322 may be disposed within the relief groove 323, and at least a portion of the handle 33 may be exposed outside the relief groove 323. By disposing the notch area 322 within the relief groove 323, the handle 33 passing through the notch area 322 may be exposed outside the relief groove 323. This facilitates the user pulling the handle 33 upwards out of the notch area 322 from within the relief groove 323. For example, when the top surface of the handle 33 is flush with the top surface of the lid 32, a portion of the handle 33 may be exposed outside the relief groove 323, making it easier to pull the handle 33 upwards out of the notch area 322 from within the relief groove 323.

[0134] In some embodiments, the clearance groove 323 can be a circular groove structure. In this case, the notch area 322 can extend radially along the clearance groove 323 of the circular structure. This structural design helps to simplify the structure of the water tank 3, improve production efficiency, and enhance the aesthetic appearance of the water tank 3.

[0135] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the clearance groove 323 may also adopt other shapes.

[0136] Figure 18 yes Figure 17 Partial structural diagram. Figure 19 yes Figure 18 A decomposed structure diagram.

[0137] like Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, in some embodiments, a support column 312 may be provided inside the tank 31, extending upward from the bottom surface of the water storage cavity 310. The support column 312 is located below the bottom surface of the tank cover 32. The lower end of the handle 33 can be slidably connected to the support column 312, and the handle 33 can slide up and down relative to the support column 312. The handle 33 can be relatively fixed to the support column 312. By sliding the handle 33 up and down relative to the support column 312, the handle 33 can move up and down relative to the tank 31 and the tank cover 32, so that the top of the handle 33 protrudes from the tank cover 32, or the handle 33 is mostly housed inside the tank 31, improving the stability of the handle 33's lifting and lowering movement. In addition, when the user lifts the water tank 3 upwards using the handle 33, the handle 33 can lift the tank 31 upwards through the support column 312 instead of directly lifting the tank cover 32, reducing the requirements for the thickness and mechanical strength of the tank cover 32, which is beneficial to increasing the effective volume inside the water tank 3.

[0138] Figure 20 yes Figure 19 Structural diagram of the central handle 33.

[0139] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the handle 33 may include a vertical arm 331, which extends along the height of the water tank 3. The lower end of the vertical arm 331 may be slidably connected to the support column 312.

[0140] like Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, in some embodiments, the handle 33 may include a horizontal arm 332, which is located at the top of the vertical arm 331. Two vertical arms 331 are provided, arranged opposite each other with a gap between them. The horizontal arm 332 is located between the two vertical arms 331, with both ends of the horizontal arm 332 connected to the top ends of the vertical arms 331 respectively. Two support columns 312 may be provided, arranged opposite to the two vertical arms 331 respectively. One vertical arm 331 is slidably connected to one support column 312, and the other vertical arm 331 is slidably connected to the other support column 312. Through the cooperation of the horizontal arm 332, the vertical arm 331, and the support columns 312, the user can lift the horizontal arm 332, thereby causing the vertical arm 331 to slide up and down relative to the support columns 312. When the user lifts the water tank 3 upwards using the handle 33, the horizontal arm 332 can apply a pulling force to the two support columns 312 through the two vertical arms 331 respectively, thereby lifting the tank 31 upwards and improving the stability of lifting the water tank 3.

[0141] In some embodiments, the horizontal arm 332 and the two vertical arms 331 can be respectively inserted into the notch area 322. The handle 33 can be pre-fixed inside the box body 31, and then the box cover 32 is placed on the top surface of the box body 31. During this process, the top ends of the horizontal arm 332 and the two vertical arms 331 can be respectively inserted into the notch area 322 and exposed on the top surface of the box cover 32, thereby simplifying the assembly difficulty of the water tank 3.

[0142] Figure 21 yes Figure 19 A magnified view of a portion of the image. Figure 22 yes Figure 18 A sectional view.

[0143] like Figure 20 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, in some embodiments, the support column 312 may include a support wall 3121, which extends upward from the bottom surface of the water storage cavity 310. The support wall 3121 may be located on the side of the vertical arm 331 away from the other vertical arm 331. The support wall 3121 may be provided with a lifting hole 3122 extending along the height direction of the water tank 3, and the lifting hole 3122 is an elongated hole structure. A slider 333 may be protruding from the side wall of the vertical arm 331 away from the other vertical arm 331. The slider 333 is slidably disposed in the lifting hole 3122 and can move up and down along the lifting hole 3122. By moving the slider 333 up and down relative to the lifting hole 3122, the vertical arm 331 can slide up and down relative to the support wall 3121, thereby allowing the handle 33 to move up and down relative to the support column 312. Furthermore, when the slider 333 moves to the top of the lifting hole 3122, the handle 33 can lift the support wall 3121 up and down through the slider 333, thereby lifting the tank body 31 of the water tank 3 upward.

[0144] In some embodiments, a limiting block 334 may be provided on the side wall of the slider 333, and the limiting block 334 is arranged at a distance from the vertical arm 331. The limiting block 334 may be provided at the end of the slider 333 away from the vertical arm 331 and extend towards the side edge of the lifting hole 3122. The limiting block 334 may be engaged with the side edge of the lifting hole 3122 and located on the side of the support wall 3121 away from the vertical arm 331. By engaging and limiting the limiting block 334 with the side edge of the lifting hole 3122, the vertical arm 331 and the limiting block 334 can be respectively disposed on opposite sides of the support wall 3121, thereby allowing the vertical arm 331 to be arranged parallel to one side of the support wall 3121, and allowing the slider 333 to slide stably up and down within the lifting hole 3122, preventing the slider 333 from dislodging from the lifting hole 3122.

[0145] In some embodiments, two limiting blocks 334 may be provided, and the two limiting blocks 334 may be respectively disposed on the outer walls of opposite sides of the slider 333. One limiting block 334 may engage with one side edge of the lifting hole 3122. The other limiting block 334 may engage with the other side edge of the lifting hole 3122. The two limiting blocks 334 engaging with the two sides of the lifting hole 3122 respectively can further improve the sliding stability of the slider 333.

[0146] Figure 23 yes Figure 22 The structure diagram of another state.

[0147] like Figure 21 , Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, in some embodiments, a mounting opening 31221 communicating with the lifting hole 3122 may be provided on the side edge of the lifting hole 3122. The mounting opening 31221 is used for the limiting block 334 to pass through, so that the limiting block 334 can be moved from one side of the support wall 3121 to the other side. By providing the mounting opening 31221 on the side edge of the lifting hole 3122, the limiting block 334 passes through the lifting hole 3122 and is installed on the side of the support wall 3121 away from the vertical arm 331, which facilitates the installation of the support column 312 and the limiting block 334 at the lifting hole 3122, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the handle 33.

[0148] In some embodiments, the support wall 3121 may be provided with perforated holes 31211 extending along the height direction of the water tank 3. The perforated holes 31211 are spaced apart on one side of the lifting hole 3122. An elastic rod 31212 is formed between the side edge of the lifting hole 3122 and the perforated hole 31211. A limiting portion 31213 may be provided on the elastic rod 31212, extending toward the lifting hole 3122. The limiting portion 31213 can be used to engage with the outer wall of the slider 333 to fix the slider 333 relatively within the lifting hole 3122, thereby fixing the handle 33 relatively within the housing 31. When the slider 333 slides down to the limiting part 31213, the slider 333 can press the limiting part 31213, causing the elastic rod 31212 to bend and deform towards the hollow hole 31211. When the slider 333 passes the limiting part 31213, the elastic rod 31212 can deform and return to its original position towards the lifting hole 3122, so that the slider 333 is engaged with the lower side of the limiting part 31213. Through the mutual pressing of the slider 333 and the limiting part 31213, combined with the elastic deformation of the elastic rod 31212, when the lifting part descends in the missing area, the limiting part 31213 engages with the slider 333, thereby fixing the handle 33 inside the box 31. At this time, the handle 33 can be housed inside the box 31, and the top surface of the handle 33 can be flush with the top surface of the box cover 32. Figure 7As shown in the diagram. When the handle 33 is pulled upward, the slider 333 can press the limiting part 31213 again, causing the elastic rod 31212 to bend and deform towards the hollow hole 31211, allowing the slider 333 to pass over the limiting part 31213 and move towards the upper end of the lifting hole 3122, so that the top of the handle 33 protrudes from the top surface of the box cover 32, making it convenient for the user to lift.

[0149] In some embodiments, two perforated holes 31211 may be provided, with the two perforated holes 31211 respectively located on opposite sides of the lifting hole 3122. The two perforated holes 31211 can form an elastic rod 31212 at the opposite edges of the lifting hole 3122, with the two elastic rods 31212 respectively located on opposite sides of the lifting hole 3122. The two elastic rods 31212 each form a limiting part 31213, with the two limiting parts 31213 respectively located on opposite sides of the lifting hole 3122. When the slider 333 slides downward to the limiting part 31213, the two sides of the slider 333 can respectively press against one of the limiting parts 31213, thereby causing the slider 333 to engage with the lower side of the two limiting parts 31213, thus more stably limiting the handle 33 inside the housing 31. (Figure) Figure 23 The state shown.

[0150] like Figure 19 and Figure 21 As shown, in some embodiments, the support column 312 may include a limiting wall 3123. The limiting wall 3123 may extend from the side edge of the support wall 3121 toward one side of the vertical arm 331. Two limiting walls 3123 may be provided, and the two limiting walls 3123 may be respectively provided on opposite sides of the supporting wall 3121. A lifting channel may be formed between the support wall 3121 and the two limiting walls 3123. The vertical arm 331 can slide up and down within the lifting channel, improving the stability of the vertical movement of the vertical arm 331.

[0151] In some embodiments, the limiting wall 3123 may be arranged extending upward from the bottom surface of the water storage cavity 310. By connecting the limiting wall 3123 to the bottom surface of the water storage cavity 310, the structural strength of the supporting wall 3121 can be improved, thereby enhancing the reliability of the handle 33.

[0152] like Figure 21 As shown, in some embodiments, an isolation groove 31231 is provided between the top of the limiting wall 3123 and the top of the supporting wall 3121. The isolation groove 31231 can separate the top of the supporting wall 3121 from the limiting wall 3123, thereby allowing the top of the limiting wall 3123 to be elastic, so that the top of the limiting wall 3123 can be bent and deformed toward the side away from the limiting wall 3123.

[0153] like Figure 16 and Figure 17As shown, in some embodiments, the water tank 3 may include a shield 34, which is located below the horizontal arm 332 and shields part of the notch area 322. One end of the shield 34 can form a telescopic opening 324 with one end of the notch area 322, and the other end of the shield 34 can form another telescopic opening 324 with the other end of the notch area 322. One vertical arm 331 can pass through one telescopic opening 324, and another vertical arm 331 can pass through the other telescopic opening 324. Through the cooperation of the shield 34 and the handle 33, the notch area 322 can be completely shielded, preventing foreign objects from entering the water tank 3. At the same time, the horizontal arm 332 above the shield 34 can be exposed in the notch area 322, making it convenient for the user to lift the horizontal arm 332. In addition, telescopic openings 324 can be formed at both ends of the shield 34 to allow the vertical arm 331 to move up and down.

[0154] In some embodiments, one end of the shielding member 34 can be fixed to a support column 312, and the other end of the shielding member 34 can be fixed to another support column 312 to fix the shielding member 34 to the top of the receiving cavity 40. The shielding member 34 can be fixed in the area between the horizontal arm 332 and the two vertical arms 331. When the lid 32 is placed on the top surface of the box body 31, the horizontal arm 332 and the shielding member 34 can pass through the notch area 322 in sequence, so that the shielding member 34 partially covers the notch area 322, and the horizontal arm 332 is exposed at the notch area 322. The shield 34 and handle 33 can be pre-fixed inside the box 31, and then the box cover 32 is placed on the top surface of the box 31. During this process, the transverse arm 332 and the shield 34 can be inserted into the notch area 322. The shield 34 covers part of the notch area 322, and the transverse arm 332 is exposed on the top surface of the box cover 32, thereby simplifying the assembly difficulty of the water tank 3 and maintaining the integrity of the top surface of the water tank 3.

[0155] Figure 24 yes Figure 7 A sectional view.

[0156] like Figure 19 and Figure 24 As shown, in some embodiments, the top surface of the shield 34 may be recessed with a handle groove 341. When the handle 33 moves downward, the bottom surface of the transverse arm 332 abuts against the top surface of the shield 34, and the handle groove 341 may be formed between the top surface of the shield 34 and the top surface of the transverse arm 332. The user can reach into the handle groove 341 to pull the transverse arm 332, thereby facilitating the user's operation of the handle 33.

[0157] like Figure 16 and Figure 24As shown, in some embodiments, when the shielding member 34 shields the notch area 322, the top surface of the shielding member 34 can be located on the bottom surface of the relief groove 323, and the groove wall of the handle groove 341 can be located on the bottom surface of the relief groove 323.

[0158] like Figure 19 and Figure 21 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixing arm 342 may be provided on one side of the end of the blocking member 34. Two fixing arms 342 may be provided, and the two fixing arms 342 may be respectively disposed on opposite sides of the end of the blocking member 34. The support column 312 may include a fixing wall 3124, which may limit the side of the wall 3123 away from the support wall 3121, and extend from the limiting wall 3123 toward the side away from the other limiting wall 3123. Two fixing walls 3124 may be provided, and the two fixing walls 3124 may be respectively disposed on opposite sides of the two limiting walls 3123. The two fixing arms 342 at the end of the blocking member 34 may be connected to the tops of the two fixing walls 3124 respectively, thereby fixing the end of the blocking member 34 to the support column 312. Furthermore, fixing the end of the blocking member 34 to the support column 312 can limit the vertical arm 331 within the lifting channel, preventing the vertical arm 331 from detaching from the lifting channel.

[0159] In some embodiments, the top end of the fixed wall 3124 may be provided with a second buckle 31241. The fixed arm 342 may be provided with a second latch 343. The fixed arm 342 can be engaged with the second buckle 31241 through the second latch 343, thereby stably connecting the fixed arm 342 to the top end of the fixed wall 3124.

[0160] In some embodiments, two sets of fixing arms 342 are provided, with each fixing arm 342 comprising two fixing arms 342. The two sets of fixing arms 342 are respectively disposed at both ends of the blocking member 34. One end of the blocking member 34 can be connected to the two fixing walls 3124 of a support column 312 through one set of fixing arms 342, and the other end of the blocking member 34 can be connected to the two fixing walls 3124 of another support column 312 through the other set of fixing arms 342, thereby stably fixing the blocking member 34 between the two support columns 312 and improving the structural stability of the blocking member 34.
