Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dehumidifier-related equipment, and in particular to a dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Dehumidifiers, also known as moisture extractors, dryers, or dehumidifiers, are generally divided into two main categories: residential dehumidifiers and industrial dehumidifiers. They are a component of air-conditioned homes. A dehumidifier typically uses a fan to draw humid air into the machine, where it passes through a heat exchanger. During this process, water molecules in the air condense into water droplets, and the treated, dry air is expelled outside. This cycle maintains a suitable relative humidity level indoors.

[0003] Existing dehumidifiers use either direct water pipe connections or connections with a water pump. Over time, this structure can lead to the accumulation of impurities (such as viscous organic deposits) in the water pipes. If these impurities are not cleaned promptly, they can clog the water pump and pipes, and in severe cases, cause water overflow, affecting the dehumidifier's performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dehumidifier to alleviate the technical problem in the prior art where water pipes become clogged with impurities due to long-term operation of dehumidifiers, resulting in water overflow or affecting the normal use of the dehumidifier.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: In a first aspect, this utility model provides a dehumidifier, including a dehumidifier body, a water receiving tray, a cleaning structure and a drainage structure. The water receiving tray is connected to the dehumidifier body and is located below the dehumidifier body, and the water receiving tray is used to receive water discharged from the dehumidifier body. The water receiving tray is connected to the drainage structure, and the drainage structure is used to discharge the accumulated water in the water receiving tray out of the dehumidifier. The cleaning structure is connected to the water receiving tray, and the cleaning structure contains cleaning fluid. The cleaning structure is used to pump cleaning fluid into the water receiving pan so that the cleaning fluid cleans the water receiving pan and the drainage passage of the drainage structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the cleaning structure includes a cleaning box and a liquid pump, the cleaning box is connected to the liquid pump, and the cleaning box contains cleaning fluid; One end of the pump is connected to the water receiving tray via a drain pipe, and the other end is connected to the cleaning box via a pumping hose.

[0007] Furthermore, a low liquid level alarm float is provided on the inner bottom of the cleaning box, which is used to connect to an external alarm device via electrical signal.

[0008] Furthermore, the top of the cleaning box is provided with a liquid replenishment port, which is used to connect to an external liquid supply device.

[0009] Furthermore, the dehumidifier also includes an outer casing, which has an accommodating space inside, and the outer casing is connected to the dehumidifier body, the water tray, the cleaning structure, and the drainage structure respectively; The bottom of the outer casing is provided with multiple wheels, and the top of the outer casing is provided with a handle.

[0010] Furthermore, the drainage structure includes a water pump and a water tank, the water tank being connected to the outer casing, and the water tank being connected to the water receiving tray via a drain pipe; The water pump is connected to the water tank and is used to pump out the accumulated water in the water tank.

[0011] Furthermore, the drainage structure also includes a water outlet pipe, one end of which is connected to the water pump, and the other end is connected to the water outlet interface on the outer casing; The water outlet is used to connect to an external drainage device.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer casing is equipped with a display screen.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer casing is equipped with an exhaust fan, which is used to dissipate the heat emitted by the dehumidifier body.

[0015] This utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects: In a first aspect, this utility model provides a dehumidifier, including a dehumidifier body, a water receiving tray, a cleaning structure, and a drainage structure. The water receiving tray is connected to the dehumidifier body and is located below the dehumidifier body, and is used to receive water discharged from the dehumidifier body. The water receiving tray is connected to the drainage structure, and the drainage structure is used to drain the water accumulated in the water receiving tray out of the dehumidifier. The cleaning structure is connected to the water receiving tray, and is provided with cleaning fluid. The cleaning structure is used to pump cleaning fluid into the water receiving tray so that the cleaning fluid cleans the water receiving tray and the drainage passage of the drainage structure.

[0016] In this invention, the dehumidifier body cools and liquefies humid air after drawing it in, and the liquefied water falls into the drip tray. The drip tray has a disc-shaped structure, and because of its low height, it cannot hold too much water. The water is then poured into the drain structure and discharged through it. Since the drip tray and drain pipes are prone to blockage due to dirt, regular cleaning of the drip tray and drain structure is necessary. Cleaning fluid is pumped into the drip tray through a cleaning structure to clean it, and then the cleaning fluid is discharged through the drain pipe of the drain structure.

[0029] Example 1 This embodiment provides a dehumidifier, see reference. Figure 1 The dehumidifier includes a dehumidifier body, a water tray 2, a cleaning structure 3, and a drainage structure 4. The water tray 2 is connected to the dehumidifier body and located below it, and is used to collect water discharged from the dehumidifier body. The water tray 2 is connected to the drainage structure 4, and is used to drain the water accumulated in the water tray 2 out of the dehumidifier. The cleaning structure 3 is connected to the water tray 2 and contains cleaning fluid. The cleaning structure 3 is used to pump cleaning fluid into the water tray 2 to clean the water tray 2 and the drainage passage of the drainage structure 4.

[0030] This invention at least alleviates the technical problem in the prior art where long-term operation of a dehumidifier causes blockage of water pipes due to impurities, leading to water overflow or affecting the normal use of the dehumidifier.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, after the dehumidifier body draws in humid air, it cools and liquefies the humid air, and the liquefied water falls into the water collection tray 2. The water collection tray 2 has a disc-shaped structure, and because the height of the water collection tray 2 is relatively low, it cannot store too much water. The water is poured into the drainage structure 4 and then discharged through the drainage structure 4. Since the pipes of the water collection tray 2 and the drainage structure 4 are prone to blockage due to dirt, the water collection tray 2 and the drainage structure 4 need to be cleaned regularly. Cleaning liquid is pumped into the water collection tray 2 through the cleaning structure 3 so that the cleaning liquid can clean the water collection tray 2, and then the cleaning liquid is discharged through the drainage pipe of the drainage structure 4.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the dehumidifier provided in this embodiment of the utility model injects cleaning liquid into the water receiving tray 2 through the cleaning structure 3 inside the dehumidifier, so as to periodically clean the drainage channel connecting the water receiving tray 2 and the drainage structure 4, so as to avoid impurities in the water receiving tray 2 and the drainage structure 4, thereby avoiding the problem of pipe blockage caused by impurities.

[0034] Specifically: the cleaning box 31 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1, and the cleaning box 31 is filled with cleaning fluid. The pump 32 is connected to the top of the cleaning box 31 to extract the cleaning fluid from the cleaning box 31 and deliver it to the water receiving tray 2. It should be noted that the cleaning fluid enters the water receiving tray 2 from one side, so that the cleaning fluid can clean most or all of the upper surface of the water receiving tray 2 during the flow process, and clean impurities in the water pipes and water tank 42.

[0035] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The bottom inner side of the cleaning box 31 is provided with a low liquid level alarm float 33, which is used to connect to an external alarm with an electrical signal.
