Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of dehumidifier technology, and in particular to a portable dehumidifier that is easy to stack. Background Technology

[0002] A dehumidifier is a device used to improve air humidity. It is widely used in homes, shopping malls, and other places with relatively high humidity.

[0003] In related technologies, dehumidifiers include integrated compressors, evaporators, condensers, and fan systems, which makes the overall size of dehumidifiers relatively large. This means that when dehumidifiers are stored in a warehouse before and after use, the placement of multiple dehumidifiers will result in a large space occupation.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, when storing multiple dehumidifiers, the large space occupied in relatively small storage rooms reduces storage space and is not conducive to the storage of other equipment and miscellaneous items. Utility Model Content

[0005] To facilitate storage of the dehumidifier and reduce space occupation, this application provides a portable dehumidifier that is easy to stack.

[0006] The portable dehumidifier that is easy to stack provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A portable dehumidifier that is easy to stack includes a dehumidifier body integrating a compressor, evaporator, condenser, and fan system, and a protective shell installed on the outside of the dehumidifier body, and further includes:

[0008] A support component is provided with a preset surface of the protective shell, which contacts the ground and supports the protective shell to keep the dehumidifier in an upright position;

[0009] A gripping lever is disposed on the surface of the protective shell and is positioned opposite the support assembly in the vertical direction;

[0010] A stacking limiting block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the protective shell. The stacking limiting block has a first limiting groove. When two dehumidifiers are stacked vertically, the gripping lever is embedded in the first limiting groove.

[0011] Optionally, the gripping rod is C-shaped, the protective shell has a plug-in hole, the gripping rod has a plug-in end that inserts into the plug-in hole, and the gripping rod has a stacking plug-in position and a portable plug-in position. When the gripping rod is in the portable plug-in position, the vertical height of the gripping rod is increased. When the gripping rod is in the stacking plug-in position, the gripping rod fits into the first limiting groove of the stacking limiting block at the bottom of the upper dehumidifier.

[0012] Optionally, the gripping lever includes a gripping rod and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is fixedly connected to the gripping rod in an U-shape. The connecting rod is inserted into the connecting hole, and a positioning screw hole is fixedly provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connecting rod. There are two positioning screw holes, which are spaced apart along the axis of the connecting rod. A positioning bolt is provided on the surface of the protective shell. When the positioning bolt is rotated, it is inserted into or moved away from the connecting hole to be threadedly fixed with the positioning screw hole.

[0013] Optionally, the support assembly includes support rollers and support blocks. The support rollers are disposed on two parallel sidewalls of the protective shell and rotate relative to the protective shell. The support blocks are fixedly connected to the protective shell, and the support blocks and the support rollers are arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction.

[0014] Optionally, when both the support rollers and the support block are in contact with the ground, the dehumidifier remains perpendicular to the ground.

[0015] Optionally, the protective shell has a second limiting groove on the side wall facing away from the support block. The second limiting groove matches the shape of the support block and allows the support block stacked on top of the dehumidifier to be embedded and limited.

[0016] Optionally, when the grip lever is switched to the portable plug-in position, the two opposing sidewalls of the two support rollers in the horizontal direction abut and limit the grip lever.

[0017] Optionally, the first limiting groove forms a first limiting direction for the gripping lever in the horizontal direction, and the second limiting groove forms a second limiting direction in the horizontal direction with the support block, wherein the first limiting direction and the second limiting direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] 1. The support component supports the protective shell, enabling the dehumidifier to remain upright. When stacking, the stacking limit block uses the first limit groove to cooperate with the gripping lever, which helps the dehumidifier to be stacked in a small space, improves space utilization, and reduces the space occupied in the horizontal direction.

[0020] 2. The grip bar can be switched between a stacking and portable insertion position, making it easy for personnel to lift it when moving or to fit it when stacking, so that the dehumidifier can meet the needs of moving and stacking.

[0021] 3. The first limiting groove and the second limiting groove form mutually perpendicular limiting in the horizontal direction, so that the two stacked dehumidifiers can have relatively stable limiting in the horizontal direction, reducing the probability of the dehumidifier falling in the horizontal direction and helping to increase the safety of stacking.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be further described in detail below. In this embodiment, the coordinate axes x, y, and z are used as the left, front, and top reference frames to determine the reference directions in the figure.

[0027] This application discloses a portable dehumidifier that is easy to stack. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The portable dehumidifier that is easy to stack includes a dehumidifier body integrating a compressor 1, an evaporator 2, a condenser 3, and a fan system 4, and a protective shell 5 installed on the outside of the dehumidifier body. The protective shell 5 is also provided with a support component 6, a gripping lever 7, and a stacking limit block 8. The support component 6 is connected to the bottom of the protective shell 5 to provide support force. The gripping lever 7 is provided on the upper surface of the protective shell 5 for people to grip when moving the dehumidifier. The stacking limit block 8 is fixed to the bottom side wall of the protective shell 5 and has a first limiting groove 81 facing downward. The first limiting groove 81 and the gripping lever 7 fit together to form a horizontal limit, so that the dehumidifiers can be stacked vertically to form mutual limit, thereby reducing the space occupied in the horizontal direction and improving the space utilization in the vertical direction.

[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 When the gripping lever 7 is connected to the protective shell 5, its relative position can be adjusted, allowing for vertical height adjustment. This makes it easier for personnel to grip and move the dehumidifier, saving effort. Specifically, the gripping lever 7 includes a gripping rod 71 and a connecting rod 72. During processing, the two ends of the gripping rod 71 are bent at 90° using a tube bending process to form the connecting rods 72 at both ends, giving the gripping lever 7 an overall C-shape. The upper side wall of the protective shell 5 has connecting holes 51, with each connecting hole 51 corresponding to one of the connecting rods 72. A positioning bolt 52 is provided on the outer surface of the protective shell 5, and two positioning screw holes 721 are provided on the outer side wall of the connecting rod 72. These two positioning screw holes 721 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the connecting rod 72. During installation, tightening the positioning bolts 52 inserts the stud into the connecting hole 51, forming a threaded connection with the positioning screw hole 721, thus fixing the connecting rod 72.

[0029] When the positioning bolt 52 is connected and tightened with the positioning screw holes 721 at different heights, the grip rod 71 forms two positions at different heights: the portable insertion position at the highest position and the stacked insertion position at the lower position. When in the stacked insertion position, another dehumidifier is stacked on top, which makes the grip rod 71 fit into the bottom of the first limiting groove 81, forming a limit in the front and rear direction.

[0030] Reference Figure 1The support assembly 6 includes support rollers 61 and support blocks 62. Support blocks 62 are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the protective shell 5 near the front. Support rollers 61 are installed on the two bottom edge sidewalls of the protective shell 5 near the rear, allowing the support rollers 61 to roll and contact the ground, providing support for the protective shell 5 while preventing the bottom of the protective shell 5 from contacting and scraping against the ground, thus facilitating easy movement by personnel. Support blocks 62 are made of elastic rubber, which relatively increases the friction between the support blocks 62 and the ground, making it less likely for the dehumidifier to move accidentally when stationary.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 1 To further improve the stability of the dehumidifiers when stacked, a second limiting groove 53 is provided on the upper surface of the protective shell 5 near the front. The shape of the second limiting groove 53 matches that of the support block 62, allowing the second limiting block to slide into the second limiting groove 53 and form a limiting position with the inner wall. The inner wall of the second limiting groove 53 forms a second limiting direction in the left-right horizontal direction for the dehumidifier, while the first limiting groove 81 forms a first limiting direction in the front-back horizontal direction for the dehumidifier. The first limiting direction and the second limiting direction are perpendicular to each other, thereby improving the stability of the stacked dehumidifiers and reducing the probability of them falling.

[0032] In this embodiment, the integrated compressor 1, evaporator 2, condenser 3, and fan system 4 are integrated into a single unit and installed within a protective housing 5. The interior of the protective housing 5 is hollow, providing sufficient installation space. The integrated compressor 1 delivers compressed, high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas to the condenser 3. After releasing heat and liquefying in the condenser 3, the refrigerant flows to the evaporator 2, absorbs heat, evaporates, and returns to the compressor as a low-temperature, low-pressure gas, thus completing the cycle. Simultaneously, the fan blows humid air towards the evaporator 2 for dehumidification, and then, after being heated by the condenser 3, dry air is discharged. All components work together to complete the dehumidification process. A water tank is also included. When humid air flows through the evaporator 2, water vapor condenses into water droplets upon contact with the condenser. These droplets slide down the surface of the evaporator 2 and flow into the water tank through a guide structure.

[0033] The implementation principle of a portable dehumidifier that is easy to stack according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When it is necessary to stack dehumidifiers, the grip lever 7 is adjusted to the corresponding height of the portable plug-in position, and the dehumidifiers are stacked in the vertical direction. First, the support block 62 is slid into the second limiting groove 53, and then the stacking limiting block 8 is embedded into the first limiting groove 81, thereby reducing the space occupied in the horizontal direction and increasing the space occupied in the vertical direction. In the cleaning equipment storage warehouse of the mall, it can save space and store as many other utensils as possible.

[0034] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
