Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to an air purifier with dehumidification function. Background Technology

[0002] With accelerated industrialization and increased urbanization, indoor air quality has become a growing global public health concern. Air purifiers, as core devices for improving indoor environments, effectively remove particulate matter, gaseous pollutants, and microorganisms from the air through technologies such as filter filtration, electrostatic dust collection, activated carbon adsorption, and photocatalysis, and have become standard appliances in modern homes and offices. However, traditional air purifiers have significant limitations in their functional design, especially in meeting user needs when dealing with complex climatic environments.

[0003] Existing air purifier technology has formed a relatively complete pollution control system. HEPA filters can intercept more than 99% of micron-sized particles, activated carbon layers remove odors and some organic matter through physical adsorption, and photocatalytic or cold catalyst technologies can decompose harmful gases such as formaldehyde. Some high-end models also integrate ultraviolet sterilization or plasma generators to further inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Although these functions perform well in conventional air purification scenarios, their design logic always revolves around the single dimension of "purification" and lacks the ability to actively regulate ambient humidity.

[0004] In coastal areas, during the rainy season, or under special climatic conditions such as "southern winds," indoor air humidity often exceeds 70%. This not only accelerates mold growth and causes furniture to become damp and warped, but also leads to air purifier filters becoming damp and ineffective, increasing the risk of secondary pollution. Users need to purchase dehumidifiers to control humidity, resulting in equipment redundancy, increased space occupation, and increased energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of lacking dehumidification function, this utility model provides an air purifier with dehumidification function, aiming to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings.

[0006] An air purifier with dehumidification function includes a purifier with several air inlets around its bottom. A heat pipe is rotatably connected inside the purifier. A cooler is installed inside the purifier and located within the heat pipe. A water collection tank is provided at the bottom of the purifier. Drain holes are circumferentially formed around the bottom of the purifier, and the purifier communicates with the water collection tank through the drain holes. An air outlet is provided at the bottom of the purifier. A cleaning component is provided inside the purifier to remove condensation droplets from the surface of the heat pipe.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the cleaning component includes a motor and a scraper. Several scrapers are connected inside the purifier. The scrapers are slidably connected to the outer wall of the heat-conducting pipe. A motor is installed at the bottom of the purifier. The motor is driven by the heat-conducting pipe. A groove is provided on the top of the water collection tank to wrap the motor.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a heating ring is installed in the middle of the purifier, an auxiliary screen is installed on the front side of the purifier, a number of temperature and humidity sensors are installed around the inner ring of the heating ring, a gas channel is opened in the middle of the purifier, the temperature and humidity sensors are located on the gas channel, and the heating ring and the temperature and humidity sensors are both wired to the auxiliary screen.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the water collection tank is provided with an anti-slip pad.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this does not limit the scope of protection and application of the present invention.

[0020] Example: An air purifier with dehumidification function, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the device includes a purifier 1, a heat pipe 3, a cooler 4, a water collection tank 11, and a cleaning component. The purifier 1 has several air inlets 2 around its bottom. The heat pipe 3 is rotatably connected inside the purifier 1. The cooler 4 is installed inside the purifier 1 and is located inside the heat pipe 3. The heat pipe 3 is made of copper, which has high thermal conductivity and can quickly reduce the temperature of the pipe wall. The water collection tank 11 is set at the bottom of the purifier 1. Drain holes are opened around the bottom of the purifier 1. The purifier 1 is connected to the water collection tank 11 through the drain holes. The drainage holes are distributed in a ring to ensure that the water flow collects quickly. The purifier 1 has an air outlet 14 at its bottom. The cleaning component is installed inside the purifier 1 to remove water droplets condensed on the surface of the heat pipe 3.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a motor 5 and scrapers 6. Six scrapers 6 are connected inside the purifier 1. The scrapers 6 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the heat pipe 3. The scrapers 6 are made of flexible silicone and are installed at a 15° angle. Their tilted shape can guide the scraped water droplets to flow in a single direction. The motor 5 is installed at the bottom of the purifier 1. The motor 5 is driven by the heat pipe 3. The motor 5 meshes with the end of the heat pipe 3 through a gear set and drives the heat pipe 3 at a low speed. The top of the water collection tank 11 is provided with a groove to wrap the motor 5. A silicone sealing ring is provided on the inner wall of the groove to prevent condensate from seeping into the motor 5 cavity and improve the waterproof rating of the equipment.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a heating ring 8, an auxiliary screen 9, and a temperature and humidity sensor 10. The heating ring 8 is installed in the middle of the purifier 1, and the auxiliary screen 9 is installed on the front side of the purifier 1. Several temperature and humidity sensors 10 are installed around the inner ring of the heating ring 8. The temperature and humidity sensors 10 are integrated, that is, temperature and humidity are combined into one, or they are installed separately and alternately. The former reduces the space occupied, and the latter can be calibrated separately to improve accuracy. A gas channel is opened in the middle of the purifier 1, and the temperature and humidity sensors 10 are located on the gas channel. The heating ring 8 and the temperature and humidity sensors 10 are both wired to the auxiliary screen 9.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it also includes a heat-conducting pipe 7. The heat-conducting pipe 7 is connected inside the purifier 1. The top of the heat-conducting pipe 7 passes through the middle of the purifier 1, and the bottom of the heat-conducting pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the cooler 4. The top of the heat-conducting pipe 3 is rotatably connected to the heat-conducting pipe 7. The heat-conducting pipe 7 adopts an aluminum corrugated pipe structure and is equipped with spiral heat sinks inside, which can accelerate the discharge of waste heat from the cooler 4 and prevent heat from accumulating inside the equipment.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes support columns 12. Four support columns 12 are connected to the bottom of the purifier 1. The support columns 12 are slidably connected to the water collection tank 11. The water collection tank 11 covers the bottom of the purifier 1. The length of the support column 12 is greater than the height of the motor 5, ensuring that the motor 5 is suspended when the purifier 1 is placed through the support column 12. The sliding connection design facilitates quick disassembly and assembly of the water collection tank 11.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes an anti-slip mat 13. The bottom of the water collection tank 11 is provided with an anti-slip mat 13. The anti-slip mat 13 is made of TPE material and has a honeycomb pattern to enhance the friction with the ground and absorb the slight vibration during the operation of the equipment.

[0026] The main body of the purifier 1 is mounted inside the water collection tank 11 via support columns 12. The vertical separation of the purifier 1 and the water collection tank 11 ensures effective collection volume. The condensate collected in the water collection tank 11 can naturally dissipate heat from the motor 5 located in its recess. After starting the purifier 1, the user can decide whether to simultaneously activate the dehumidification function based on environmental needs. The core purification module of the purifier 1 is located in the upper part of the device. During operation, indoor air is drawn in through the evenly distributed air inlets 2 at the bottom of the purifier 1, processed by the internal purification module, and finally discharged as clean air from the air outlet 14 at the top.

[0027] When the user activates the dehumidification function, the cooler 4 begins to work, cooling the heat pipe 3 which is in close contact with it. Air drawn in through the air inlet 2 flows over the low-temperature surface of the heat pipe 3, causing water vapor in the air to condense due to the heat released upon contact with the cooler surface, forming tiny water droplets on the outer wall of the heat pipe 3. Small particles in the air and some water-soluble gases are also adsorbed by the water droplets, thus reducing the workload of the core purification module. At this time, the motor 5 starts and drives the heat pipe 3 to begin rotating slowly. The scraper 6 maintains sliding contact with the outer surface of the rotating heat pipe 3, continuously scraping away the condensed water droplets on the pipe wall. Timely cleaning of the water droplets ensures the condensation efficiency of the heat pipe 3. Because the scraper 6 is installed at a certain angle, the scraped water flows downwards along its surface. This water eventually collects and drips into the water collection tank 11 below through the pre-set drain hole at the bottom of the purifier 1. The cooled air, after being cooled and dehumidified, continues to flow upwards, reaching the gas channel area in the middle of the purifier 1. The temperature and humidity sensor 10 installed here monitors the temperature and humidity of the air flowing through it in real time and transmits the data to the auxiliary screen 9 for display. If the user feels the outlet air temperature is too low, they can manually activate the heating ring 8 surrounding the air passage via the auxiliary screen 9. The heating ring 8 provides auxiliary heating to the cold air, ensuring that the final exhaust air temperature rises appropriately and avoids discomfort from excessive cold. Simultaneously, the waste heat generated by the cooler 4 during operation is effectively guided upwards and exhausted from the device through the heat-conducting air pipe 7 connected to it. All air flowing through the purifier 1, regardless of whether it has undergone dehumidification and auxiliary heating adjustment, will ultimately undergo final filtration and purification through the purification device located at the top of the device before being discharged from the air outlet 14.

[0028] To facilitate user observation of the water level, the water collection tank 11 is made of transparent material. When it is necessary to empty the condensate, the user holds the main body of the purifier 1 with both hands and lifts it vertically and steadily upwards. At this time, the support column 12 slides off along the corresponding guide structure on the water collection tank 11, and the motor 5 also moves out of the groove on the top of the water collection tank 11. Then, the user can temporarily place the removed purifier 1 aside, lift the water collection tank 11 with both hands, and empty the condensate stored inside. The anti-slip pad 13 on the bottom of the water collection tank 11 ensures that it is stable and does not slip during placement and operation. After emptying, the water collection tank 11 is placed back on the ground. Finally, the user realigns the support column 12 at the bottom of the purifier 1 with the corresponding hole on the top of the water collection tank 11, places it vertically downwards, so that the support column 12 inserts into the corresponding sleeve of the water collection tank 11, and the motor 5 also falls back into the groove on the top of the water collection tank 11. When dehumidification is not needed, the user should turn off the cooler 4 and motor 5; when air treatment is not needed at all, turn off the main power of the purifier 1.
