Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a dehumidifier, and more particularly to a filter assembly and disassembly structure for a dehumidifier and a dehumidifier in general. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial dehumidifiers are gaining wider market acceptance and are being used in various scenarios, especially those with high humidity requirements, such as data centers and server rooms. During use, dehumidifiers require frequent filter cleaning; only when the filter is clean can the dehumidifier function properly.

[0003] The conventional way to clean the filters of industrial dehumidifiers is to simply open the back cover of the filter. While this method can achieve the purpose of replacing the filter, it is very inconvenient because it requires frequent cleaning or replacement. The conventional method is not only time-consuming, but frequent disassembly and reassembly of the back cover can also easily cause the screws to strip. How to solve this problem is what this invention aims to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a filter screen disassembly and assembly structure and a dehumidifier that is compact in structure, low in manufacturing cost, easy to assemble and disassemble, and has good installation effect.

[0005] This utility model provides a filter assembly / disassembly structure for a dehumidifier, including a panel 1 that can be installed on the dehumidifier and a filter support 2 for installing the filter. The panel 1 has a receiving cavity for accommodating the filter support 2. The side wall of the receiving cavity has an air hole 101. The receiving cavity has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The first end of the receiving cavity has an opening 1a that allows the filter support 2 to be inserted into the receiving cavity, thereby positioning the filter support 2 in the air inlet path. The second end of the receiving cavity has a press-type spring latch 3 facing the opening 1a. The head of the filter support 2 has a buckle 21 that corresponds to the press-type spring latch 3 and can be connected or disconnected.

[0006] Compared to existing disassembly methods, this application adopts an insert-type filter design, combined with a press-type spring lock 3 and a clip 21. The filter can be connected or disconnected from the panel simply by pressing it lightly. The operation is convenient and labor-saving, requiring no screwdrivers or other tools, which greatly improves the efficiency of filter installation and removal, greatly enhances the convenience of disassembly and assembly, and reduces maintenance time. At the same time, it reduces the problem of screw loosening caused by frequent disassembly and assembly. Moreover, the structure is compact, occupies little space, is suitable for various dehumidifier models, has low production costs, and provides a good user experience.

[0007] Furthermore, the second end of the receiving cavity is provided with an elastic push block. The elastic push block can contact the head of the filter support 2 and cause the filter support 2 to tend to move away from the second end of the receiving cavity. With this elastic push block structure, when the filter support is pressed and the press-type spring lock 3 is disengaged from the buckle, that is, when the filter support is disengaged from the panel, the elastic push block can push the filter support to move outward, so that the end of the filter support is exposed, making it easy for the user to remove the filter support, further simplifying the operation process.

[0008] Furthermore, the second end of the receiving cavity is provided with mounting cavity I11a and mounting cavity II11b. The press-type spring lock 3 is disposed in the mounting cavity I11a, and the elastic push block is disposed in the mounting cavity II11b. By setting the mounting cavity structure, it is convenient to quickly install the press-type spring lock 3 and the elastic push block, and ensure that the positions of each component are accurate and the installation is firm. It can also provide effective protection for the press-type spring lock 3 and the elastic push block, further improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0009] Furthermore, the second end of the receiving cavity is provided with one or more mounting cavities 11. Each mounting cavity 11 is provided with a partition and is divided into mounting cavity I 11a and mounting cavity II 11b. This structure allows the press-type spring lock 3 and the elastic push block to be close to each other and arranged in pairs, which facilitates the coordinated action between the components, enhances the linkage effect between the lock and the push block, avoids excessive distance from generating a lever arm, and prevents damage to the press-type spring lock 3 or the buckle. This improves the reliability and stability of the connection, and at the same time protects the press-type spring lock 3 and the buckle.

[0010] Furthermore, a pusher body 4 is slidably mounted inside the mounting cavity I11a. The sliding direction of the pusher body 4 is parallel to the moving direction of the filter support 2. An elastic member 6 is provided inside the mounting cavity I11a. The elastic member 6 causes the pusher body 4 to tend to move towards the second end away from the receiving cavity. The end of the pusher body 4 is provided with a pushing part 42 for contacting the filter support 2. The elastic member is a compression spring. The structure is compact and easy to manufacture and assemble.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the mounting cavity II 11b is open and a cover plate II is provided at the open end. One end of the cover plate II is bent toward the mounting cavity II 11b to form a support plate 51. The support plate 51 is provided with a positioning post 511 for mounting the elastic component on the elastic push block. The cover plate II serves to protect the inside of the mounting cavity II 11b and prevent dust and impurities from entering. At the same time, it reduces the installation difficulty of the elastic push block and facilitates the quick assembly of the elastic push block. During assembly, one end of the elastic component is sleeved on the positioning post and the other end is sleeved on the push block body. The push block body is pressed to compress the spring. Then, the whole assembly is inserted from the open end and screwed on. The assembly is convenient and labor-saving.

[0012] Furthermore, the end of the mounting cavity I 11a is open and a cover plate I is provided at the open end. The cover plate I is integrally formed with the cover plate II on the mounting cavity II. The cover plate I serves to protect the interior of the mounting cavity I 11a and prevent external impurities from entering. At the same time, the integral formation with the cover plate II improves the compactness and aesthetics of the overall structure, reduces the number of parts, lowers production costs, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, the panel 1 includes a panel body, the edge of which is bent to one side to form a panel side edge, and an installation area is formed between the panel side edge and the panel body. The installation area is provided with two strip-shaped protrusions, and the installation area is formed between the two strip-shaped protrusions. During assembly, the installation area faces the dehumidifier, and the overall structure of the panel is compact and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0014] Furthermore, at least one side of the receiving cavity is provided with a limiting plate 12 for limiting the filter support 2, which is used to prevent the filter support from swaying radially and improve installation accuracy and reliability.

[0015] Furthermore, the press-type spring lock 3 and the elastic push block are multiple and symmetrically arranged; this improves the reliability and stability of the connection. At the same time, the symmetrically arranged elastic push blocks form a balanced pushing force on the filter screen bracket, which is convenient for installation and removal, avoids uneven force causing the filter screen bracket to deflect and damage the press-type spring lock 3 or the buckle, and extends the service life.

[0016] In addition, this application also protects a dehumidifier that uses the above-mentioned filter disassembly and assembly structure.

[0017] This utility model's dehumidifier features an insert-type filter design with a press-type spring lock and clips. Simply pressing the filter allows for easy connection or disconnection from the panel, simplifying operation and eliminating the need for screwdrivers or other tools. This significantly improves filter installation and removal efficiency and ease of use, reducing maintenance time. It also reduces the risk of loose screws due to frequent disassembly. The compact structure occupies little space, is suitable for various dehumidifier models, has low production costs, and provides a superior user experience. An installation cavity facilitates the quick installation of the press-type spring lock and elastic push block, ensuring precise positioning and secure installation of all components. It also provides effective protection for the press-type spring lock and elastic push block, further enhancing the overall structural stability and durability. A cover plate on the installation cavity protects the interior from dust and impurities, ensuring operational reliability and stability. This utility model's filter installation and removal structure is compact, enabling quick filter installation and removal, improving user experience, extending equipment lifespan, reducing maintenance costs, and optimizing the overall performance of the dehumidifier.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] See Figures 1-11 This utility model provides a filter assembly / disassembly structure for a dehumidifier, enabling quick installation and removal of the filter. It includes a panel 1 and a filter support 2. The panel 1 has mounting holes along its edges for mounting onto the dehumidifier. The panel 1 is generally rectangular, and the filter support 2 is also a rectangular frame, serving as the mounting carrier for the filter. A receiving cavity is provided on the panel 1 to accommodate the filter support 2. Preferably, the shape of the receiving cavity is substantially the same as the shape of the filter support 2, allowing it to fit snugly. Multiple air holes 101 are provided on the side wall of the receiving cavity to allow air to pass through, serving as the air inlet for the dehumidifier during use.

[0031] In this application, the receiving cavity has a first end and a second end, which are located on opposite sides of the receiving cavity. For example, the first end and the second end are the left end and the right end of the receiving cavity, or the upper end and the lower end, respectively. An opening 1a is provided at the first end of the receiving cavity, which allows the filter support 2 to be inserted axially (along the length direction) into the receiving cavity, thereby positioning the filter support 2 on the air inlet path of the panel to achieve filtration. One or more push-type spring latches 3 are provided at the second end of the receiving cavity, with the push-type spring latches 3 facing the opening 1a. At the same time, the head of the filter support 2 is provided with a spring latch 3. The corresponding buckle 21 can unlock or lock with the push-type spring lock 3 to achieve quick engagement. In use, pressing the filter support will connect the buckle 21 with the push-type spring lock 3, and pressing it again will disengage the buckle 21 from the push-type spring lock 3, thereby achieving quick installation and removal of the filter support from the panel. The buckle 21 and the push-type spring lock 3 are existing technologies, such as the lock structure disclosed in CN111043574; it is also called a door lock switch, such as the existing patent CN221779263U, also called a push-type lock, etc., which are existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail in this article.

[0032] For ease of installation and removal, in this application, the first end and the second end are the left end and the right end, respectively, and the filter support slides horizontally during installation.

[0033] Compared to existing disassembly methods, this application adopts an insert-type filter design, combined with a press-type spring lock 3 and a clip 21. The filter can be connected or disconnected from the panel simply by pressing it lightly. The operation is convenient and labor-saving, requiring no screwdrivers or other tools, which greatly improves the efficiency and ease of filter installation and removal, and reduces maintenance time. At the same time, it reduces the problem of screw loosening caused by frequent disassembly and assembly. Moreover, the structure is compact, occupies little space, is suitable for various dehumidifier models, has low production costs, and provides a good user experience.

[0034] In this application, panel 1 includes a panel body, which is generally rectangular in structure. The edge of the panel body is bent to one side at a 90-degree angle to form a panel side. An installation area is formed between the panel side and the panel body. During assembly, the installation area faces the dehumidifier. Two strip-shaped protrusions are provided in the installation area, and a receiving cavity is formed between the two strip-shaped protrusions. When it is installed on the dehumidifier, the filter support is located between the panel and the dehumidifier. The distance between the two strip-shaped protrusions is the same as the width (or height) of the filter support, which can just accommodate the filter support.

[0035] To improve the installation accuracy of the filter support, this application provides a limiting plate 12 on at least one side of the receiving cavity. Preferably, limiting plates 12 are provided on both sides of the receiving cavity. The limiting plates are located on both sides of the opening. If the opening is horizontal, the limiting plates are located at the upper and / or lower end of the opening. If the opening is vertical, the limiting plates are located on the left and / or right side of the opening, forming a groove structure for radially limiting the filter support 2, thereby preventing the filter support from radially swinging and improving installation accuracy and reliability.

[0036] In this application, the limiting plate 12 is disposed on the strip protrusion and parallel to the length direction of the strip protrusion; or the edge of the strip protrusion is bent at 90 degrees toward the receiving cavity to form the limiting plate 12, and a groove structure is formed between the limiting plate and the strip protrusion.

[0037] To improve overall aesthetics and compactness, when in the connected state, the end of the filter support is basically flush with the end of the panel. To facilitate the removal of the filter support, this application provides an elastic push block at the second end of the receiving cavity. This elastic push block can contact the head of the filter support 2, causing the filter support 2 to tend to move away from the second end of the receiving cavity. With this elastic push block structure, when the filter support is pressed and the press-type spring lock 3 is disengaged from the buckle, that is, when the filter support is separated from the panel, the elastic push block can push the filter support outward, exposing the end of the filter support, making it easy for the user to remove the filter support and improving the convenience of disassembly.

[0038] To facilitate assembly, this application provides mounting cavity I 11a and mounting cavity II 11b at the second end of the receiving cavity. The press-type spring lock 3 is disposed in mounting cavity I 11a, and the elastic push block is disposed in mounting cavity II 11b. By setting the mounting cavity structure, it is easy to quickly install the press-type spring lock 3 and the elastic push block, and ensure that the positions of each component are accurate and the installation is firm. At the same time, it can provide effective protection for the press-type spring lock 3 and the elastic push block, further improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, one or more mounting cavities 11 are provided at the second end of the receiving cavity. A partition is provided within each mounting cavity 11, dividing it into mounting cavity I 11a and mounting cavity II 11b. This structure brings the press-type spring latch 3 and the elastic push block close to each other and arranged in pairs, facilitating the coordinated action between components, enhancing the linkage effect between the latch and the push block, avoiding excessive distance that could create a lever arm and damage the press-type spring latch 3 or the snap-fit, improving the reliability and stability of the connection, and simultaneously protecting the press-type spring latch 3 and the snap-fit. Specifically, a push block body 4 is slidably mounted within mounting cavity I 11a. The sliding direction of 4 is parallel to the moving direction of the filter support 2. At the same time, an elastic component 6 is provided in the mounting cavity I11a. The elastic component is a compression spring. The elastic component 6 causes the push block body 4 to tend to move towards the second end away from the receiving cavity. That is, the elastic component 6 can push the filter support 2 towards the first end to achieve separation. The push block body and the elastic component form an elastic push block structure. A pushing part 42 is provided at the end of the push block body 4. The width of the pushing part 42 is smaller than the width of the push block body. It can extend to the outside of the mounting cavity I and is used to contact the filter support 2. It has an outward pushing tendency on the filter support. Its structure is compact and easy to manufacture and assemble.

[0040] To facilitate assembly and protect the elastic pusher, the end of the mounting cavity II 11b is open, and a cover plate II is provided at the open end. In this embodiment, the open end is located at the front or rear end of the panel. One end of the cover plate II is bent towards the mounting cavity II 11b. Specifically, the end of the cover plate II near the edge of the panel is bent 90 degrees towards the mounting cavity II, forming a support plate 51. The plane of the support plate is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the filter support. A positioning post 511 is provided on the support plate 51, facing the first end, for mounting the elastic component (compression spring). The cover plate II serves two purposes: firstly, it protects the interior of the mounting cavity II 11b, preventing dust and impurities from entering; secondly, it reduces the difficulty of installing the elastic pusher. For the rapid assembly of the elastic push block, during assembly, one end of the elastic component is fitted onto the positioning post, and the other end is fitted onto the push block body. The push block body is pressed to compress the spring, and then the whole assembly is inserted from the open end and screwed on. Assembly is convenient and labor-saving. At the same time, the end of the mounting cavity I11a is also open, and its opening direction is the same as that of the mounting cavity II. A cover plate I is provided at this open end. The cover plate I and the cover plate II on the mounting cavity II are integrally formed to form a cover plate 5. The cover plate I is provided to protect the inside of the mounting cavity I11a and prevent external impurities from entering. At the same time, the integral formation with the cover plate II forms an integral structure, which improves the compactness and aesthetics of the overall structure, reduces the number of parts, reduces production costs, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0041] To improve stability and reliability, in this application, multiple and symmetrically arranged push-type spring locks 3 and elastic push blocks are used; this improves connection reliability and stability. At the same time, the symmetrically arranged elastic push blocks form a balanced pushing force on the filter support, which is convenient for installation and removal, avoids uneven force causing the filter support to deflect and damage the push-type spring locks 3 or buckles, and extends service life.

[0042] This utility model's dehumidifier features an insert-type filter design with a press-type spring lock and clips. Simply pressing the filter allows for easy connection or disconnection from the panel, simplifying operation and eliminating the need for screwdrivers or other tools. This significantly improves filter installation and removal efficiency and ease of use, reducing maintenance time. It also reduces the risk of loose screws due to frequent disassembly. The compact structure occupies little space, is suitable for various dehumidifier models, has low production costs, and provides a superior user experience. An installation cavity facilitates the quick installation of the press-type spring lock and elastic push block, ensuring precise positioning and secure installation of all components. It also provides effective protection for the press-type spring lock and elastic push block, further enhancing the overall structural stability and durability. A cover plate on the installation cavity protects the interior from dust and impurities, ensuring operational reliability and stability. This utility model's filter installation and removal structure is compact, enabling quick filter installation and removal, improving user experience, extending equipment lifespan, reducing maintenance costs, and optimizing the overall performance of the dehumidifier.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
