[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model discloses a dehumidifier with a locking mechanism, comprising a base plate 10, a compressor 20, a side plate 30, and a fastening component 40. The side plate 30 is vertically arranged and integrally formed with the base plate 10. A fitting 31 is provided on the top of the side plate 30, and the fitting 31 is in the shape of an incomplete arc, with its inner wall fitting against the outer wall of the compressor 20. The fastening component 40 is sleeved on the outside of the fitting 31 and the compressor 20, locking and fixing the compressor 20 to the side plate 30, achieving uniform circumferential force distribution and stable fixation of the compressor 20, effectively preventing displacement or loosening of the compressor 20 during operation.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The outer wall of the compressor 20 is provided with a stepped positioning groove 21, which is used for structural connection and fit.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The top of the side plate 30 is provided with an integrally formed connecting plate 32, which is perpendicular to the side plate 30. The end of the connecting plate 32 facing the compressor 20 has an arc-shaped abutment surface that fits the outer wall of the compressor 20. The kit 31 is connected to the connecting plate 32, and the side of the kit 31 facing the compressor 20 is on the same plane as the abutment surface. That is, the abutment surface of the connecting plate 32 and the kit 31 are both tightly fitted to the outer wall of the compressor 20, improving connection stability and preventing radial displacement of the compressor 20. In addition, the connecting plate 32 and the kit 31 are locked in the positioning groove 21 to prevent vertical displacement of the compressor 20, thus achieving double locking of the compressor 20.

[0035] Specifically, the top of the kit 31 is provided with an anti-detachment plate 33 extending away from the compressor 20; the anti-detachment plate 33, the kit 31 and the inner side of the connecting plate 32 together form a limiting groove 34, and the fastening member 40 is partially engaged in the limiting groove 34; effectively preventing the fastening member 40 from slipping due to vibration.

[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The fastening component 40 includes a metal band 41 and an adjusting component 42. Both ends of the metal band 41 are provided with connecting ears (not shown in the figure), which are connected to the adjusting component 42. The adjusting component 42 adjusts the tightness of the metal band 41 by adjusting the distance between the two connecting ears. In this embodiment, the adjusting component 42 is a fastening bolt. The connecting ears at both ends of the metal band 41 are respectively provided with threaded holes. The fastening bolt mates with the threaded holes to achieve a threaded connection between the fastening bolt and the connecting ears. When assembling or disassembling the metal band 41, rotating the fastening bolt causes the two connecting ears to move away from or closer to each other to adjust the tightness of the metal band 41. The fastening component 40 can be assembled or disassembled without the use of additional tools, improving maintenance convenience.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 A buffer frame 50 is provided on the base plate 10. The buffer frame 50 includes a connecting bracket 51 and several buffer pads 52 installed at the bottom of the connecting bracket 51. A circular mounting groove 53 is provided in the center of the connecting bracket 51 for assembling the compressor 20. The buffer pads 52 are made of deformable plastic material. Together with the structure of the mounting groove 53, they effectively absorb the high-frequency vibration of the compressor 20, prevent the vibration from being transmitted to the housing, and play a role in shock absorption and noise reduction.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The dehumidifier with a locking mechanism involved in this utility model also includes a housing (not shown in the figure), a condenser 60, and a blower 70; both the condenser 60 and the blower 70 are mounted on the base plate 10, and the housing is fitted over the base plate 10; a copper pipe is provided between the condenser 60 and the compressor 20 to achieve interconnection. The blower 70 includes an air inlet 71 and an air outlet 72. The air inlet 71 extends out of the housing, and the air outlet 72 is positioned facing the condenser 60. The blower 70 draws in high-humidity outside air through the air inlet 71 and then blows it out through the air outlet 72, achieving the dehumidification effect under the action of the condenser 60.

[0039] The installation process of the dehumidifier with locking mechanism involved in this utility model is as follows: First, place the compressor 20 in the assembly slot of the buffer frame 50, then align and snap the kit 31 with the positioning slot 21, and finally tighten it with the metal band 41 and fix it with the fastening bolts. This structure ensures both reliable fixing and easy disassembly and maintenance.

[0040] Compared to existing technologies, the dehumidifier with a locking mechanism of this utility model, through the coordinated design of an integrated side plate 30 and a fastening component 40, features an incomplete arc-shaped kit 31 on the side plate 30 that fits tightly against the outer wall of the compressor 20. Combined with the annular locking structure of the fastening component 40, this achieves uniform circumferential force distribution and stable fixation of the compressor 20, effectively preventing displacement or loosening during operation. The fastening component 40 includes a metal band 41 and an adjusting component 42, allowing for quick adjustment of the tightness of the metal band 41, enabling disassembly and assembly operations without the need for special tools. This greatly improves the convenience of maintenance; in addition, an anti-slip plate 33 is provided, and the inner side of the anti-slip plate 33, the kit 31 and the connecting plate 32 together form a limiting groove 34, which prevents the fastening component 40 from slipping due to vibration; at the same time, the stepped positioning groove 21 on the outer wall of the compressor 20 and the snap-fit ​​of the kit 31 further restrict the vertical displacement of the compressor 20, forming all-round limiting protection; in terms of vibration reduction and noise reduction, the buffer pad 52 of the buffer frame 50 and the assembly groove structure effectively absorb the high-frequency vibration of the compressor 20, prevent the vibration from being transmitted to the housing, and significantly reduce the operating noise of the equipment.

[0041] The above description merely illustrates the preferred technical solution of this utility model, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
