Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a dehumidifier, which is used to reduce the humidity of a desired space. Background Technology

[0002] A dehumidifier is a household appliance that draws in air from a space where dehumidification is desired, removes the moisture contained in the air through heat exchange, and then discharges the dehumidified air back into the dehumidification space, thereby reducing the humidity of the dehumidification space.

[0003] The dehumidifier repeatedly performs the following process: using a fan assembly to draw in air into the dehumidification space, using a heat exchange unit to remove moisture from the air and then heating it, and then using the fan assembly to expel the air back into the dehumidification space, thereby reducing the humidity of the dehumidification space.

[0004] Recently, the development of technologies to miniaturize dehumidifiers has been actively underway, particularly in reducing the thickness of the dehumidifier. In this case, the heat exchange unit and the fan assembly are arranged along the thickness direction of the dehumidifier. Therefore, conventionally, as the thickness of the dehumidifier is reduced, the gap between the heat exchange unit and the fan assembly narrows, resulting in a decrease in heat exchange performance.

[0011] Patent Document 5: Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2025-0006647 Utility Model Content

[0012] This invention is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above, and its purpose is to provide a dehumidifier that can ensure the spacing between the heat exchanger and the fan assembly.

[0013] To solve the problems described above, the present invention may include the following configuration.

[0014] The dehumidifier of this utility model includes: a dehumidifier body with an intake section and an exhaust section; a compressor disposed inside the dehumidifier body for compressing refrigerant; a fan assembly disposed inside the dehumidifier body for drawing in air through the intake section and discharging it through the exhaust section; a heat exchange section disposed inside the dehumidifier body between the intake section and the fan assembly, with a first axial direction as a reference, for exchanging heat between the refrigerant compressed by the compressor and the air drawn in through the intake section; a support section disposed inside the dehumidifier body for supporting the fan assembly and the heat exchange section; and a spacing determining section combined with the support section and disposed between the fan assembly and the heat exchange section with the first axial direction as a reference, thereby determining the spacing between the fan assembly and the heat exchange section with the first axial direction as a reference.

[0015] In the dehumidifier of this utility model, the interval determining part may include a first determining member, which supports the fan assembly between the fan assembly and the heat exchange part with the first axial direction as a reference.

[0016] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the interval determining part may include a second determining member, which supports the heat exchange part between the fan assembly and the heat exchange part, with the first axial direction as a reference. The first determining member and the second determining member may be spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction.

[0017] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the support portion may include a support body, which supports the fan assembly and the heat exchange portion on the lower side of the fan assembly and the lower side of the heat exchange portion. The first determining member may protrude upward from the top surface of the support body.

[0018] The dehumidifier of this invention may include a blocking part for blocking the entry and exit of air between the fan assembly and the heat exchange unit. The blocking part may be configured to block the space between the fan assembly and the heat exchange unit.

[0019] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the fan assembly may include: a fan for generating suction to draw air in through the intake section and airflow to expel the drawn air towards the exhaust section; and a housing disposed between the fan and the heat exchange section with reference to the first axial direction. The blocking section may include a first side blocking member, which is combined with the housing and protrudes towards the heat exchange section.

[0020] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the blocking portion may include a plurality of first side blocking members. The housing may include a bell mouth for allowing air to flow in. Of the plurality of first side blocking members, at least one first side blocking member may be disposed on one side of the bell mouth, with a second axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction as a reference. Of the plurality of first side blocking members, at least one first side blocking member may be disposed on the other side of the bell mouth, with the second axial direction as a reference.

[0021] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the interval determining part may include a first determining member, which supports the fan assembly between the fan assembly and the heat exchange part, with the first axial direction as a reference. Among the plurality of first side blocking members, at least one first side blocking member may be combined with the first determining member.

[0022] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the blocking part may include a second side blocking member, which is combined with the heat exchange part and protrudes towards the fan assembly. The second side blocking member and the first side blocking member may be configured to partially overlap each other.

[0023] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the first side blocking member is positioned on the outside relative to the second side blocking member, with the second axial direction perpendicular to the first axial direction as a reference.

[0024] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the fan assembly may include a protruding member that protrudes from the housing toward the heat exchange section. The protruding member may be disposed on the upper side of the heat exchange section. The blocking section may include an upper blocking member that protrudes from the upper part of the first side blocking member toward the heat exchange section. The upper blocking member is configured with a vertical orientation to block the space between the protruding member and the heat exchange section.

[0025] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the blocking part may include a plurality of first side blocking members and a plurality of upper blocking members. The plurality of upper blocking members may each protrude from the upper part of the plurality of first side blocking members toward the heat exchange part.

[0026] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the heat exchange section may include: an evaporator for cooling air drawn in through the intake section; and a condenser for heating air passing through the evaporator. The evaporator may be disposed between the intake section and the condenser, with reference to the first axial direction. The upper blocking member may be configured to be longer than the combined length of the distance between the casing and the condenser and the length of the condenser, with reference to the first axial direction.

[0027] In the dehumidifier of this invention, the interval determining part can support at least one of the fan assembly and the heat exchange part, thereby configuring the interval between the fan assembly and the heat exchange part with the first axial direction as a reference to a predetermined reference distance.

[0028] According to this utility model, the following effects can be achieved.

[0029] This invention, by using a spacing determining part, ensures the spacing between the fan assembly and the heat exchange part. Therefore, this invention achieves the heat exchange performance required by the application location while reducing the overall thickness. Consequently, this invention provides the dehumidification performance required by the application location and also achieves miniaturization.

[0030] This invention, by using an interval determining unit, can guide the interval between the fan assembly and the heat exchange unit to be configured to a pre-set reference distance. Therefore, by using the interval determining unit, the operator can configure the interval between the fan assembly and the heat exchange unit to the reference distance, or by using the interval determining unit, can confirm whether the interval between the fan assembly and the heat exchange unit has been configured to the reference distance. Thus, by using the interval determining unit, this invention improves the ease and accuracy of configuring the interval between the fan assembly and the heat exchange unit to the reference distance.

[0031] This invention enables the spacer to support at least one of the fan assembly and the heat exchanger. Therefore, by using the spacer, this invention maintains a reference distance between the fan assembly and the heat exchanger. Consequently, by using the spacer, this invention prevents the space between the fan assembly and the heat exchanger from narrowing due to vibration, shaking, or other factors during use, thus maintaining dehumidification performance by preserving heat exchange performance.

[0032] This invention supports the fan assembly by using a first determining member, thereby ensuring the distance between the fan assembly and the heat exchange section. Therefore, by using the first determining member, this invention improves the ease and accuracy of configuring the fan assembly, making the distance between the fan assembly and the heat exchange section a reference distance. Furthermore, because the supporting force of the first determining member restricts the fan assembly from moving towards the heat exchange section due to vibrations or shaking during use, dehumidification performance is maintained by preserving heat exchange performance.

[0033] This invention uses a blocking part to shield the fan assembly and the heat exchange unit, thereby blocking the entry and exit of air between them. Thus, as dehumidified air flows from the heat exchange unit to the fan assembly, the blocking part prevents the outward leakage of dehumidified air between the fan assembly and the heat exchange unit. Therefore, by using the blocking part, this invention reduces the flow loss due to the inability of dehumidified air from the heat exchange unit to flow to the fan assembly, and increases the flow rate of dehumidified air from the heat exchange unit to the fan assembly. This increases the flow rate of dehumidified air discharged through the discharge part, thus improving dehumidification efficiency and performance. Furthermore, by using the blocking part, this invention prevents undehumidified air from flowing inward between the fan assembly and the heat exchange unit. Therefore, this invention reduces the humidity of the air discharged through the discharge part, thus improving dehumidification efficiency and performance.

[0034] This invention allows a portion of a first side-blocking member, which is integrated with a housing, and a portion of a second side-blocking member, which is integrated with a heat exchange unit, to overlap each other. This reduces the airflow through the gap between the first and second side-blocking members. Furthermore, this invention allows a portion of the first and second side-blocking members to overlap, thus positioning the first side-blocking member outside the second side-blocking member. This eliminates the gap between the first and second side-blocking members in the flow direction of the dehumidified air flowing from the heat exchange unit to the fan assembly. Therefore, this invention further reduces the outflow of dehumidified air through the gap between the first and second side-blocking members.

[0035] This invention can be configured such that an upper blocking member obstructs the space between a protruding member positioned on the upper side of the heat exchange section and the heat exchange section. The upper blocking member protrudes from the upper part of the first side blocking member toward the heat exchange section. Thus, by using the upper blocking member, this invention can block the entry and exit of air between the protruding member and the heat exchange section. Therefore, this invention can reduce the flow rate loss due to the air dehumidified by the heat exchange section not flowing to the fan assembly, and can also reduce the flow rate of air that has not been dehumidified by the heat exchange section flowing inward between the fan assembly and the heat exchange section. Therefore, this invention can further improve dehumidification efficiency and performance. Attached Figure Description

[0073] Hereinafter, embodiments of the dehumidifier of this utility model will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that when labeling the constituent elements of each drawing with reference numerals, the same reference numerals are used as much as possible for the same constituent elements, even if they are shown in other drawings. Furthermore, when describing embodiments of this utility model, detailed descriptions of related well-known structures or functions are omitted if it is determined that such detailed descriptions would hinder the understanding of the embodiments of this utility model. On the other hand, in Figure 9 The heat exchange section and fan assembly are shown in a simplified manner.

[0074] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The dehumidifier 1 of this invention is a household appliance. The dehumidifier draws in air from a space requiring dehumidification, removes moisture from the air through heat exchange, and then discharges the dehumidified air back into the dehumidification space, thereby reducing the humidity of the space. The dehumidifier 1 of this invention may include a dehumidifier body 2, a compressor 3, and a heat exchange unit 4.

[0075] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The dehumidifier body 2 constitutes the overall appearance of the dehumidifier 1 of this utility model. The dehumidifier body 2 supports the compressor 3 and the heat exchange unit 4. The compressor 3 and the heat exchange unit 4 can be combined inside the dehumidifier body 2. A water tank 20 can be detachably inserted into the dehumidifier body 2. When installed in the dehumidifier body 2, the water tank 20 can store the condensate generated during heat exchange via the heat exchange unit 4.

[0076] The dehumidifier body 2 may include an intake section 21 and an exhaust section 22.

[0077] The intake section 21 allows air drawn in from the dehumidification space to pass through. Through the intake section 21, the air drawn into the interior of the dehumidifier body 2 can flow towards the heat exchange section 4, thereby achieving dehumidification through heat exchange. The intake section 21 can be formed to penetrate the dehumidifier body 2. A filter can be integrated into the intake section 21 to prevent foreign matter such as dust from entering the interior of the dehumidifier body 2.

[0078] After flowing in through the intake section 21, the exhaust section 22 can discharge the dehumidified air into the dehumidification space through heat exchange. This achieves dehumidification of the dehumidification space. The exhaust section 22 can be formed to penetrate the dehumidifier body 2. The exhaust section 22 and the intake section 21 can be formed as different parts penetrating the dehumidifier body 2.

[0079] The dehumidifier body 2 may include a bottom 23, a top 24, and a side wall 25.

[0080] The bottom 23 can form the lower part of the dehumidifier body 2. The bottom 23 can be configured to provide support for components disposed inside the dehumidifier body 2.

[0081] The top 24 can be configured to be spaced upwards from the bottom 23. The top 24 can form the upper part of the dehumidifier body 2. The discharge section 22 can be formed on the top 24. The discharge section 22 can be formed to extend through the top 24. Inside the dehumidifier body 2, air dehumidified by heat exchange can be discharged through the discharge section 22, through the top 24, and into the dehumidification space.

[0082] The sidewall portion 25 can be combined with the bottom 23 and the top 24 respectively. The sidewall portion 25 can be configured to surround the interior of the dehumidifier body 2. The sidewall portion 25 may include a first sidewall portion 251, a second sidewall portion 252, a third sidewall portion 253, and a fourth sidewall portion 254. The first sidewall portion 251, the second sidewall portion 252, the third sidewall portion 253, and the fourth sidewall portion 254 can be combined with each other to realize the sidewall portion 25. The first sidewall portion 251 and the second sidewall portion 252 can be configured to face each other across the interior space of the dehumidifier body 2. The suction portion 21 can be formed in the first sidewall portion 251. The suction portion 21 can be formed to penetrate the first sidewall portion 251. Air in the dehumidification space can pass through the first sidewall portion 251 and be drawn into the interior of the dehumidifier body 2 via the suction portion 21. The first sidewall portion 251 and the second sidewall portion 252 can each be formed as a flat plate. The first sidewall portion 251 and the second sidewall portion 252 can be configured to be spaced apart from each other along a first axial direction (X-axis direction). The first axial direction (X-axis direction) can correspond to the thickness direction of the dehumidifier body 2. The third sidewall portion 253 and the fourth sidewall portion 254 can be configured to face each other across the internal space of the dehumidifier body 2. The third sidewall portion 253 and the fourth sidewall portion 254 can be configured to be spaced apart from each other along a second axial direction (Y-axis direction). The second axial direction (Y-axis direction) and the first axial direction (X-axis direction) can be axial directions that are perpendicular to each other on a defined plane. The third sidewall portion 253 and the fourth sidewall portion 254 can be combined with the first sidewall portion 251 and the second sidewall portion 252, respectively. In this configuration, one side of the first sidewall portion 251 can be coupled to the third sidewall portion 253, and the other side can be coupled to the fourth sidewall portion 254. Similarly, one side of the second sidewall portion 252 can be coupled to the third sidewall portion 253, and the other side can be coupled to the fourth sidewall portion 254. Furthermore, the bottom 23 and the top 24 can be configured to be spaced apart from each other along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). This vertical direction (Z-axis direction) can be an axial direction perpendicular to both the first axial direction (X-axis direction) and the second axial direction (Y-axis direction), respectively. This vertical direction (Z-axis direction) can correspond to the height direction.

[0083] On the other hand, the sidewall portion 25 can be implemented by combining two frames. In this case, the first frame may include all of the first sidewall portion 251, a portion of the third sidewall portion 253, and a portion of the fourth sidewall portion 254. The second frame may include all of the second sidewall portion 252, a portion of the third sidewall portion 253, and a portion of the fourth sidewall portion 254. The first frame and the second frame, relative to the vertical direction (Z-axis direction), can be configured to separate the sidewall portion 25 along parallel boundary lines. The first sidewall portion 251 and the second sidewall portion 252, relative to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction), can be formed as parallel flat plates. The third sidewall portion 253 and the fourth sidewall portion 254, based on the second axial direction (Y-axis direction), can be formed as curved plates protruding in opposite directions.

[0084] The dehumidifier body 2 may include a support 26.

[0085] The support portion 26 can be disposed inside the dehumidifier body 2. The support portion 26 can separate the interior of the dehumidifier body 2. The support portion 26 can divide the interior of the dehumidifier body 2 into a flow space 26a and a drive space 26b. In the flow space 26a, air drawn in from the dehumidification space can be dehumidified through heat exchange and then discharged back into the dehumidification space. The heat exchange unit 4 can be combined with the support portion 26 and disposed in the flow space 26a. The compressor 3 can be disposed in the drive space 26b. The water tank 20 can be disposed in the drive space 26b. An electrical unit 26c for controlling the compressor 3 can also be disposed in the drive space 26b. In addition to the compressor 3, the electrical unit 26c can also control other components such as the heat exchange unit 4. The electrical unit 26c can receive power supply by connecting to a power code (not shown) and can also transmit the supplied power to the compressor 3, etc. The drive space 26b can be configured below the flow space 26a.

[0086] The dehumidifier body 2 may be combined with vanes 27 and vane covers 28.

[0087] The blade 27 can be disposed on the discharge section 22. The blade 27 can adjust the discharge direction of the air discharged through the discharge section 22. The blade 27 can be rotatably coupled to the top 24. When a plurality of blades 27 are provided, the blades 27 are connected by a connecting member (not shown) so that they can move in conjunction.

[0088] The blade cover 28 can open and close the discharge section 22. The blade cover 28 can be coupled to the top 24, thereby being disposed above the blade 27. The blade cover 28 can be rotatably coupled to the top 24. In this case, the blade cover 28 can open and close the discharge section 22 by rotation. Depending on the rotation angle of the blade cover 28, the blade cover 28 can adjust the discharge direction of the air discharged through the discharge section 22.

[0089] The dehumidifier body 2 may include a mounting slot 29. The mounting slot 29 can accommodate the water tank 20. The water tank 20 can be inserted into the mounting slot 29, thereby being mounted on the dehumidifier body 2. In this state, condensate (hereinafter referred to as "condensate") can be stored in the water tank 20, which is generated by air drawn in via the suction unit 21 during dehumidification through heat exchange. The water tank 20 can be detachably inserted into the mounting slot 29. With the water tank 20 detached from the dehumidifier body 2, the water tank 20 can be emptied. The mounting slot 29 can be implemented as a groove formed at a certain depth on the fourth side wall portion 254. Condensate is discharged into the mounting slot 29, thereby flowing into the water tank 20 inserted into the mounting slot 29. The mounting slot 29 may be equipped with a condensate drain outlet (not shown). The condensate drain outlet can discharge condensate to the water tank 20 mounted in the mounting slot 29. The condensate drain outlet can be connected to the support portion 26. Condensate can fall from the heat exchange portion 4, flow along the top surface of the support portion 26 towards the condensate drain outlet, and then be discharged into the water tank 20 via the condensate drain outlet. The condensate drain outlet can be connected to the bottom surface of the support portion 26, thereby communicating with the top surface of the support portion 26.

[0090] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The compressor 3 is capable of compressing refrigerant for heat exchange with air. The compressor 3 can be connected to the heat exchange unit 4 via piping or the like. If the refrigerant compressed by the compressor can be resupplied to the compressor 3 via the heat exchange unit 4, a cycle can be performed. The compressor 3 can be disposed inside the dehumidifier body 2. The compressor 3 can be combined with the bottom 23, thereby being disposed in the drive space 26b. With the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference, the compressor 3 can be disposed between the mounting slot 29 and the electrical unit 26c.

[0091] Reference Figures 1 to 3The heat exchange unit 4 is capable of exchanging heat between the refrigerant compressed by the compressor 3 and the air drawn in through the suction unit 21. The heat exchange unit 4 can be disposed inside the dehumidifier body 2. The heat exchange unit 4 can be combined with the support unit 26, thereby being disposed in the flow space 26a. The heat exchange unit 4 may include an evaporator 41 and a condenser 42.

[0092] The evaporator 41 can use refrigerant supplied from the condenser 42 to cool the air drawn in through the suction section 21. In this case, the evaporator 41 can evaporate the refrigerant supplied from the condenser 42, thereby absorbing heat from the air drawn in through the suction section 21. This cools the air drawn in through the suction section 21. Thus, the evaporator 41 can reduce the humidity of the air drawn in through the suction section 21. On the other hand, as the air drawn in through the suction section 21 is cooled, condensate is generated, and the condensate can be discharged to the mounting tank 29 through the condensate drain port.

[0093] The condenser 42 can use the refrigerant supplied from the compressor 3 to heat the air passing through the evaporator 41. In this case, the condenser 42 cools the refrigerant supplied from the compressor 3, thereby releasing heat to the air passing through the evaporator 41, and thus heating the air passing through the evaporator 41. Therefore, the condenser 42 can dry the air passing through the evaporator 41. The air dried by the condenser 42 can be discharged into the dehumidification space via the discharge section 22.

[0094] With the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference, the evaporator 41 can be disposed between the first sidewall portion 251 and the condenser 42. In this case, the evaporator 41 can be disposed between the suction portion 21 formed in the first sidewall portion 251 and the condenser 42. Thus, air drawn in from the dehumidification space via the suction portion 21 passes sequentially through the evaporator 41 and the condenser 42, and is then discharged into the dehumidification space via the discharge portion 22.

[0095] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The dehumidifier 1 of this utility model may include a fan assembly 5.

[0096] The fan assembly 5 can draw in air via the intake section 21 and discharge it to the exhaust section 22. In this case, the fan assembly 5 can generate suction for drawing in air and airflow for discharging air. The fan assembly 5 can be disposed inside the dehumidifier body 2. With reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), the fan assembly 5 can be disposed between the heat exchange section 4 and the second sidewall section 252. In this case, with reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), the heat exchange section 4 can be disposed between the intake section 21 and the fan assembly 5. With reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), the fan assembly 5 can be disposed between the condenser 42 and the second sidewall section 252. The fan assembly 5 can be supported by the support section 26.

[0097] The fan assembly 5 may include a fan 51.

[0098] The fan 51 is capable of generating suction to draw in air via the intake section 21 and airflow to expel the drawn-in air toward the exhaust section 22. The fan 51 can be combined with the housing 52 and disposed inside the housing 52. One side of the housing 52 facing the heat exchange section 4 can be formed to be open. Thus, the fan 51 can draw in air via one side of the housing 52. An exhaust port 50 can be formed in the housing 52, the exhaust port 50 being configured to face the exhaust section 22. The housing 52 can be supported by the support section 26, thereby positioning the exhaust port 50 below the exhaust section 22. Thus, the fan 51 can expel the air drawn in via one side of the housing 52 toward the exhaust section 22 via the exhaust port 50.

[0099] The fan assembly 5 may include a shroud 53.

[0100] The housing 53 can be combined with the cover 52. The fan 51 can be disposed within the internal space of the housing 53 and the cover 52. The housing 53 can support the fan 51. With reference to the first axial direction (X-axis direction), the housing 53 can be disposed between the heat exchange section 4 and the fan 51. In this case, the housing 53 can be combined with the cover 52, thereby blocking the open side of the cover 52. An intake port 530 can be formed in the housing 53. The intake port 530 can be formed to penetrate the housing 53. Thus, the fan 51 can draw in air through the intake port 530. The housing 53 may include a bell-shaped opening 531 configured to face the intake port 530.

[0101] Reference Figures 1 to 9The dehumidifier 1 of this invention is designed to ensure a distance 60 between the heat exchange unit 4 and the fan assembly 5. To this end, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention may include a distance determining unit 6.

[0102] The interval determining part 6 can be combined with the support part 26. With the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference, the interval determining part 6 can be disposed between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4. Thus, the interval determining part 6 can determine the interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4 (hereinafter referred to as "the interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4") with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. The interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4 can refer to the distance between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4 along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). In this case, the interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4 can refer to the distance between the condenser 42 and the bell-shaped opening 531 along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). Therefore, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can achieve the following effects.

[0103] First, by using the interval determining unit 6, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can induce the interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange unit 4 to be configured as a predetermined reference distance. This reference distance can be pre-determined through prior testing to meet the heat exchange performance requirements of the usage location, and can reduce the thickness of the dehumidifier body 2. For example, the reference distance can be 17 mm or more. When the interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange unit 4 is less than 17 mm, the heat exchange performance may be reduced because the interval 60 is too narrow. By using the interval determining unit 6, the operator can configure the interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange unit 4 to the reference distance, or by using the interval determining unit 6, can confirm whether the interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange unit 4 is configured as the reference distance. As described above, by using the interval determining unit 6, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can improve the ease and accuracy of configuring the interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange unit 4 to the reference distance.

[0104] Secondly, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can be configured such that the spacing determining part 6 supports at least one of the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4. Therefore, by using the spacing determining part 6, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can maintain the distance 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4 at the reference distance. Thus, by using the spacing determining part 6, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can prevent the distance 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4 from narrowing due to vibration, shaking, etc., during use, thereby maintaining dehumidification performance by preserving heat exchange performance.

[0105] The interval determining part 6 can be combined with the support body 261 of the support part 26. The interval determining part 6 and the support body 261 can also be integrally formed. The support body 261 can support the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange part 4 on the lower side of the fan assembly 5 and the lower side of the heat exchange part 4. The support body 261 can separate the flow space 26a and the drive space 26b. The support body 261 can be integrally formed into a plate shape and can be configured to lie flat in the horizontal direction. A first connecting member 262 and a second connecting member 263 can be combined with the support body 261. The first connecting member 262 can protrude downward from the bottom surface of the support body 261. The lower end of the first connecting member 262 can be combined with the bottom 23. The second connecting member 263 can protrude downward from the bottom surface of the support body 261 at a position separated from the first connecting member 262. The lower end of the second connecting member 263 can be connected to the bottom 23 at a position spaced apart from the lower end of the first connecting member 262. Thus, by using the supporting force of the bottom 23 supporting the first connecting member 262 and the second connecting member 263, the support body 261 can support the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. On the other hand, the first connecting member 262 and the second connecting member 263 can be configured to be spaced apart from each other along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Based on the second axial direction (Y-axis direction), a first configuration space 260a for configuring the compressor 3 can be formed between the first connecting member 262 and the second connecting member 263. A second configuration space 260b can be formed in the first connecting member 262. The second configuration space 260b can be used as a space for forming the mounting groove 29. A third configuration space 260c can be formed in the second connecting member 263. The third configuration space 260c can be used as a space for configuring the electrical section 26c. With the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference, the first configuration space 260a can be configured between the second configuration space 260b and the third configuration space 260c.

[0106] The interval determining part 6 may include a first determining component.

[0107] The first determining member 61, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference, can support the fan assembly 5 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. By supporting the fan assembly 5, the first determining member 61 ensures the distance 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. Therefore, by using the first determining member 61, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention improves the ease and accuracy of configuring the fan assembly 5, thereby ensuring that the distance 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4 is the reference distance. Furthermore, because the dehumidifier 1 of this invention uses the supporting force of the first determining member 61, it can suppress the movement of the fan assembly 5 towards the heat exchange section 4 caused by vibration, shaking, etc., during use, thus maintaining dehumidification performance by maintaining heat exchange performance.

[0108] The first determining member 61 can protrude upward from the top surface of the support body 261. When the fan assembly 5 is mounted on the support body 261, the upper end of the first determining member 61 can be positioned below the height of the bell-shaped opening 531. Thus, the first determining member 61 can be configured not to obstruct the intake port 530. The first determining member 61 can be formed as a plate extending elongated along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). In this case, the first determining member 61 can be configured in a standing posture along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). The first determining member 61 can also be integrally formed with the support body 261. One of the surfaces of the first determining member 61 can be configured to have a relatively wide area facing the fan assembly 5.

[0109] The interval determining part 6 may include a second determining member 62.

[0110] The second determining member 62, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference, can support the heat exchange section 4 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. By supporting the heat exchange section 4, the second determining member 62 ensures the distance 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. Therefore, by using the second determining member 62, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can improve the ease and accuracy of configuring the heat exchange section 4, thereby ensuring that the distance 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4 is the reference distance. Furthermore, because the dehumidifier 1 of this invention uses the supporting force of the second determining member 62, it can suppress the movement of the heat exchange section 4 towards the fan assembly 5 caused by vibration, shaking, etc., during use, thus maintaining dehumidification performance by maintaining heat exchange performance. The second determining member 62 can also support the condenser 42.

[0111] The second determining member 62 can protrude upward from the top surface of the support body 261. The second determining member 62 and the first determining member 61 are configured to be spaced apart from each other along the first axial direction (X-axis direction), thereby determining the interval 60 between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. In this case, the distance between the second determining member 62 and the first determining member 61 can be set to correspond to the reference distance, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference. When the heat exchange section 4 and the fan assembly 5 are mounted on the support body 261, the upper end of the second determining member 62 can be configured at a height lower than the bell-shaped opening 531. Thus, the second determining member 62 can be formed to not obstruct the flow of air from the heat exchange section 4 to the suction port 530. The second determining member 62 can be formed as a plate extending elongated along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). In this case, the second determining member 62 can be configured in a standing posture along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). The second determining member 62 and the supporting body 261 can also be integrally formed. One of the surfaces of the second determining member 62 can be configured to have a relatively wide area facing the heat exchange section 4.

[0112] Reference Figures 1 to 13 The dehumidifier 1 of this utility model may include a blocking part 7.

[0113] The blocking part 7 can be configured to block the space between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. Therefore, the blocking part 7 can block the entry and exit of air between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. Thus, during the flow of air dehumidified by the heat exchange section 4 to the fan assembly 5, the blocking part 7 can prevent leakage to the outside through the space between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. Therefore, by using the blocking part 7, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can reduce the flow loss due to the air dehumidified by the heat exchange section 4 not flowing to the fan assembly 5, and can increase the flow rate of air dehumidified by the heat exchange section 4 flowing to the fan assembly 5. Therefore, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can increase the flow rate of dehumidified air discharged through the discharge part 22, thereby improving dehumidification efficiency and performance. Furthermore, by using the blocking part 7, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can prevent air that has not been dehumidified by the heat exchange section 4 from flowing inward through the space between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. Therefore, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can reduce the humidity of the air discharged through the discharge section 22, thereby improving dehumidification efficiency and performance.

[0114] In this case, the inner side can correspond to the flow path space of the interval 60 between the heat exchange section 4 and the fan assembly 5. This flow path space, as the space where the heat exchange section 4 and the fan assembly 5 face each other, functions as a flow path for the air dehumidified by the heat exchange section 4 to flow to the fan assembly 5. The flow path space can be the space located between the condenser 42 and the bell-shaped opening 531 along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). The blocking part 7 can be configured to surround the flow path space. In this case, the inner side can correspond to the flow path space and can also correspond to the inner space of the blocking part 7. The outer side can correspond to the outer space of the blocking part 7. The blocking part 7, by blocking the entry and exit of air between the inner and outer sides, can prevent the leakage of dehumidified air flowing on the inner side to the outer side and can prevent the inflow of undehumidified air flowing on the outer side into the inner side. The blocking part 7 can be positioned at a location spaced apart from the bell-shaped opening 531 in the outer direction.

[0115] The blocking part 7 may include a first side blocking member 71.

[0116] The first side blocking member 71 can be combined with the housing 53 and protrude towards the heat exchange section 4. Thus, the first side blocking member 71 can block the airflow between the heat exchange section 4 and the fan assembly 5 by being configured to block the airflow between them. The first side blocking member 71 can be positioned at a distance from the bell-shaped opening 531 along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Thus, the first side blocking member 71, based on the second axial direction (Y-axis direction), blocks the airflow through the side of the flow path space by blocking its side. The first side blocking member 71 can be formed as a plate extending elongated along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). In this case, the first side blocking member 71 can be configured in a standing position along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). Of the surfaces of the first side blocking member 71, a surface with a relatively wide area can be configured to face the flow path space. The first side blocking member 71 and the cover 53 can also be integrally formed.

[0117] The blocking portion 7 may further include a plurality of the first side blocking members 71. Among the first side blocking members 71, at least one first side blocking member 71 may be disposed on one side of the bell-shaped opening 531 with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Figure 11 When referenced, the first side blocking member 71 can be disposed on the right side of the bell-shaped opening 531. In the first side blocking member 71, at least one first side blocking member 71' can be disposed on the other side of the bell-shaped opening 531, with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Figure 11 As a reference, the first side blocking member 71' can be disposed on the left side of the bell-shaped opening 531. As described above, the first side blocking members 71 and 71' can be disposed to block both sides of the bell-shaped opening 531 with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Thus, the first side blocking members 71 and 71' can block the entry and exit of air through both sides of the bell-shaped opening 531.

[0118] In the first side blocking member 71, at least one first side blocking member 71 can be combined with the first determining member 61. For example... Figure 13As shown, by inserting the upper part of the first determining member 61 into the lower part of the first side blocking member 71', the first side blocking member 71' can be supported by the first determining member 61. Therefore, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention not only reduces the vibration or even shaking of the first side blocking member 71 caused by airflow pressure, but also uses the first side blocking member 71 to further strengthen the support force on the fan assembly 5. A portion of the first side blocking member 71 may not be coupled to the first determining member 61. All of the first side blocking members 71 may be coupled to the first determining member 61.

[0119] The blocking part 7 may include a second side blocking member 72.

[0120] The second side blocking member 72 can be combined with the heat exchange section 4 and protrude towards the fan assembly 5. Thus, by being configured to block the space between the heat exchange section 4 and the fan assembly 5, the second side blocking member 72 can block the entry and exit of air through the space between the heat exchange section 4 and the fan assembly 5. The second side blocking member 72 can be positioned spaced apart from the bell-shaped opening 531 along the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Thus, by blocking the side of the flow path space with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction), the second side blocking member 72 can block the entry and exit of air through the side of the flow path space. The second side blocking member 72 can be formed as a plate extending elongated along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). In this case, the second side blocking member 72 can be configured in a standing position along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction). Among the surfaces of the second side blocking member 72, a surface with a relatively wide area can be configured to face the flow path space. The second side blocking member 72 can be combined with the condenser 42. The second side blocking member 72 and the condenser 42 can be integrally formed.

[0121] The second side blocking member 72 and the first side blocking member 71 can be configured to partially overlap each other. Therefore, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can reduce the flow rate of air entering and exiting through the gap between the second side blocking member 72 and the first side blocking member 71, thus strengthening the blocking force on the airflow space. In this case, the first side blocking member 71 can be positioned outside the second side blocking member 72 with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Therefore, compared to when the second side blocking member 72 is positioned outside the first side blocking member 71, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can further reduce the flow rate of dehumidified air exiting through the gap between the second side blocking member 72 and the first side blocking member 71. Specifically, the situation is as follows.

[0122] First, with the second side blocking member 72 positioned outside the first side blocking member 71, a gap is formed between the second side blocking member 72 and the first side blocking member 71 in the flow direction of the dehumidified air flowing from the heat exchange section 4 to the fan assembly 5. As a result, the dehumidified air can flow out to the outside of the flow path space through the gap between the second side blocking member 72 and the first side blocking member 71.

[0123] In contrast, when the first side blocking member 71 is disposed outside the second side blocking member 72, no gap is provided between the second side blocking member 72 and the first side blocking member 71 in the flow direction of the dehumidified air flowing from the heat exchange section 4 to the fan assembly 5. The gap between the second side blocking member 72 and the first side blocking member 71 is disposed in the direction from the fan assembly 5 toward the heat exchange section 4. Therefore, the embodiment in which the first side blocking member 71 is disposed outside the second side blocking member 72 can further reduce the flow rate of dehumidified air flowing out of the flow path space through the gap between the second side blocking member 72 and the first side blocking member 71.

[0124] On the other hand, with the first axial direction (X-axis direction) as a reference, the second side blocking member 72 and the first side blocking member 71 can each be formed to a length shorter than the interval 60 between the heat exchange section 4 and the fan assembly 5. The first side blocking member 71 can be disposed outside the second side blocking member 72 with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as a reference, thereby contacting the outer surface of the second side blocking member 72.

[0125] Reference Figures 1 to 14 The blocking part 7 may include an upper blocking member 73.

[0126] The upper blocking member 73 can protrude from the upper part of the first side blocking member 71 toward the heat exchange section 4. In this case, the fan assembly 5 may include a protruding member 54 protruding from the housing 53 toward the heat exchange section 4. The protruding member 54 may be disposed on the upper side of the heat exchange section 4. The upper blocking member 73, based on the vertical direction (Z-axis direction), may be configured to block the space between the protruding member 54 and the heat exchange section 4. Thus, the upper blocking member 73 can block the entry and exit of air between the protruding member 54 and the heat exchange section 4. Therefore, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can reduce the flow rate loss due to the air dehumidified by the heat exchange section 4 not flowing to the fan assembly 5, and can reduce the flow rate of air that has not been dehumidified by the heat exchange section 4 flowing inward through the space between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. Thus, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can further improve dehumidification efficiency and dehumidification performance. The upper blocking member 73 can be formed as a plate extending elongated along the first axial direction (X-axis direction). In this case, the upper blocking member 73 can be configured to lie flat parallel to the first axial direction (X-axis direction). One of the surfaces of the upper blocking member 73 can be configured to have a relatively wide area facing the flow path space. The upper blocking member 73 and the first side blocking member 71 can be integrally formed. The top surface of the upper blocking member 73 can be combined with the protruding member 54. In this case, the upper blocking member 73 and the protruding member 54 can be integrally formed.

[0127] The upper blocking member 73, based on the first axial direction (X-axis direction), can be formed to be longer than the combined length of the distance between the housing 53 and the condenser 42 and the length of the condenser 42. Thus, the upper blocking member 73 can be formed to block the space between the protruding member 54 and the flow path, between the protruding member 54 and the condenser 42, and between the protruding member 54 and the evaporator 41. Therefore, the dehumidifier 1 of this invention can further reduce the flow rate loss due to the air dehumidified by the heat exchange section 4 failing to flow to the fan assembly 5, and can further reduce the flow rate of air not dehumidified by the heat exchange section 4 flowing inward through the space between the fan assembly 5 and the heat exchange section 4. The upper blocking member 73 can be formed to block only a portion of the length between the protruding member 54 and the evaporator 41.

[0128] The blocking portion 7 may further include a plurality of the upper blocking members 73. In this case, the blocking portion 7 may include a plurality of the first side blocking members 71. The upper blocking members 73 may protrude from the upper portion of each of the first side blocking members 71 toward the heat exchange portion 4. Among the upper blocking members 73, at least one upper blocking member 73 may be disposed on one side of the bell-shaped opening 531 with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Figure 11 When referenced, the upper blocking member 73 can be disposed on the right side of the bell-shaped opening 531. Of the upper blocking members 73, at least one upper blocking member 73' can be disposed on the other side of the bell-shaped opening 531, with reference to the second axial direction (Y-axis direction). Figure 11 When referenced, the upper blocking member 73' can be disposed on the left side of the bell-shaped opening 531. As described above, the upper blocking members 73 and 73' can be configured to block the upper part relative to both sides of the bell-shaped opening 531, with the second axial direction (Y-axis direction) as the reference.
