[0024] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
[0025] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0026] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.
[0027] Embodiments of this utility model provide a dehumidifier front housing that is easy to install, such as... Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes:
[0028] The front shell body 100 has a mounting groove 200 extending along its edge on the inner side of its upper edge, mounting seats 300 on both sides of the front shell body 100, threaded holes 310 on the mounting seats 300, and a support block 400 for supporting the front shell body 100 on the inner side of the front shell body 100.
[0029] Mounting groove 200 is located on the inner side of the upper edge of the front housing body 100 and extends along the edge. Mounting groove 200 is used to mount other components, such as a top cover, filter, decorative strip, or other functional components, ensuring that these components are securely fixed to the front housing. Mounting bases 300 are located on both sides of the front housing body 100. Mounting bases 300 are used to connect the front housing to other components (such as the main frame or rear housing of the dehumidifier) to achieve assembly of the entire dehumidifier. In some embodiments, mounting bases 300 can be snap-fit structures or threaded hole structures 310, connecting to other components through snap-fit structures or threaded hole structures 310. Support block 400 is installed on the inner side of the front housing body 100. When the front housing body 100 is assembled with the chassis, the support block 400 can act as a "lift," preventing the front housing body 100 from falling due to lack of support. During installation, the support block 400 can provide a stable support point for the front housing body 100, keeping it in the correct position. This helps installers perform subsequent assembly operations, such as screw fixing, more accurately, thereby improving installation efficiency and quality. The support block 400 not only plays a role during installation but also provides additional structural support during dehumidifier operation. It can withstand the weight from the front housing body 100 and vibrations generated during operation, reducing deformation or damage caused by external forces. The design of the mounting groove 200 and mounting base 300 makes connecting the front housing to other components easier and faster. The mounting groove 200 allows for quick positioning and fixing of related components, reducing installation time and difficulty.
[0030] In some embodiments, the support block 400 includes a horizontal portion 410 and two vertical portions 420 respectively disposed on both sides of the horizontal portion 410, the lower ends of the vertical portions 420 being connected to the horizontal portion 410.
[0031] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the horizontal portion 410 of the support block 400 is located at the bottom of the support block 400, serving a supporting and connecting function. It is tightly integrated with the inner wall of the front shell body 100, providing a stable base for the entire support block 400. The support block 400 has two vertical portions 420, respectively located on both sides of the horizontal portion 410. The lower end of the vertical portion 420 is connected to the horizontal portion 410, forming an integral structure. The main function of the vertical portion 420 is to provide vertical support, preventing the front shell body 100 from falling or deforming during installation or use. The combined design of the horizontal portion 410 and the vertical portion 420 effectively distributes the stress, enhancing the overall structural strength of the support block 400. This design is similar to an I-beam in construction, providing high strength and stability with a relatively small amount of material. The horizontal portion 410 can be integrally formed with the front shell body 100, or it can be fixed to the inner wall of the front shell body 100 by clips or screws. The one-piece design reduces assembly steps and improves production efficiency; the detachable design facilitates maintenance and replacement.
[0032] Furthermore, there are two support blocks 400, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line of the front shell body 100.
[0033] Two support blocks 400 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line of the front shell body 100. This symmetrical layout ensures that the front shell body 100 is subjected to uniform force during installation and use, avoiding deformation or collapse caused by unilateral force. The symmetrically arranged support blocks 400 can evenly distribute the weight of the front shell body 100 on both sides, avoiding tilting or instability caused by unilateral support.
[0034] In some embodiments, the support block 400 is disposed in the middle of the front shell body 100.
[0035] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the support block 400 is located in the middle of the front shell body 100. This design can effectively support the central area of the front shell body 100 and prevent it from falling off during installation.
[0036] Furthermore, the support block 400 also includes several reinforcing ribs 430, which are vertically arranged and whose lower ends are connected to the horizontal part 410.
[0037] The vertically arranged reinforcing ribs 430 effectively distribute the stress and enhance the structural strength of the support block 400. This design is similar to a "column" or "rib" in construction, significantly improving the compressive and deformation resistance of the support block 400. The lower end of the reinforcing ribs 430 is connected to the horizontal part 410, forming a stable support structure. This design prevents the support block 400 from bending or tilting under stress, thus ensuring the stability of the front shell body 100. By rationally designing the number and position of the reinforcing ribs 430, the strength of the support block 400 can be significantly improved without significantly increasing the amount of material used, thereby achieving a lightweight design.
[0038] Furthermore, the support block 400 is integrally formed with the front shell body 100.
[0039] The support block 400 and the front shell body 100 are integrally molded to form a complete structure. This design eliminates the connection gap between the support block 400 and the front shell body 100, enhancing the overall structural strength and stability. This design effectively prevents structural problems caused by loosening or breakage at the connection points. The integral molding design makes the product appearance cleaner, reduces visual defects caused by connectors or splicing marks, and improves the product's aesthetics.
[0040] In some embodiments, the mounting base 300 is provided with a threaded hole 310.
[0041] Each mounting base 300 is provided with threaded holes 310. These threaded holes 310 are used to connect the front housing to other components (such as the main frame or rear housing of the dehumidifier) by screws or other fasteners, so as to assemble the entire dehumidifier.
[0042] In some embodiments, the front shell body 100 is arc-shaped, and the mounting groove 200, mounting base 300 and support block 400 are all disposed on the inner arc surface of the front shell body 100.
[0043] The front housing body 100 is arc-shaped, a design that makes the overall appearance of the dehumidifier more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing, while reducing sharp edges and improving safety. The mounting groove 200, mounting base 300, and support block 400 are all located on the inner arc surface of the front housing body 100. This layout makes full use of the internal space while ensuring the cooperation and stability between the components.
[0044] In some embodiments, the front shell body 100 is provided with a connecting seat 500, and the connecting seat 500 and the inner wall of the front shell body 100 form an installation groove 200.
[0045] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the connector 500 is part of the front housing body 100 and is located inside the front housing body 100. It is combined with the inner wall of the front housing body 100 to form a complete mounting groove 200. The mounting groove 200 is formed by the connector 500 and the inner wall of the front housing body 100. By combining the connector 500 with the inner wall of the front housing body 100 to form the mounting groove 200, the internal space is fully utilized, additional material waste is avoided, and the overall design is more compact.
[0046] Furthermore, the connecting seat 500 includes a plurality of first limiting blocks 510 and a plurality of second limiting blocks 520, the first limiting blocks 510 and the second limiting blocks 520 being staggered, and the outer walls of the plurality of first limiting blocks 510 and the outer walls of the plurality of second limiting blocks 520 defining the mounting groove 200.
[0047] To address the installation error between the mounting slot 200 and the component to be installed, the connecting base 500 is equipped with several first limiting blocks 510, which serve for positioning and support. The connecting base 500 also has several second limiting blocks 520, which are offset from the first limiting blocks 510. This offset arrangement of the first and second limiting blocks 510 more precisely defines the shape and size of the mounting slot 200, ensuring accurate installation of the component and reducing installation errors. This design allows for adjustment based on the shape and size of different components, enabling the mounting slot 200 to accommodate various types of components and improving the product's versatility and flexibility.
