Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a dehumidification device, and more particularly to a dehumidification device for in-situ regeneration of a wardrobe. Background Technology

[0002] Wardrobes are a common piece of furniture in daily life, used to store clothes and other items. However, during the rainy season or in humid environments, the humidity inside wardrobes can be high, easily causing clothes to become damp and moldy, affecting their lifespan and wearing comfort. Traditional wardrobes typically lack dehumidification functions or have poor dehumidification effects, failing to meet users' needs for a dry environment inside the wardrobe.

[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have developed wardrobes with dehumidification functions. However, these wardrobes have complex internal dehumidification structures, high costs, and their dehumidification efficiency needs improvement, failing to effectively and quickly reduce humidity inside the wardrobe. Relevant literature can be found in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. ZL201920642664.6, entitled "A Dehumidification Module and Dehumidification Wardrobe with a Sound-Powered Refrigeration Unit" (Authorization Announcement No. CN210638199U); and also in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. ZL202122425721.5, entitled "A Smart Home Wardrobe" (Authorization Announcement No. CN216256090 U). Utility Model Content

[0004] The first technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a dehumidification device for a wardrobe, addressing the aforementioned technical situation.

[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a convenient in-situ regeneration dehumidification device for wardrobes, in light of the aforementioned technical situation.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an in-situ regeneration dehumidification device for a wardrobe, comprising a wardrobe body and a dehumidification module disposed within the wardrobe body, characterized in that the dehumidification module comprises an air duct, an exhaust fan, an electric heating module, a moisture-absorbing material, a guide fan, a condenser, and a water collection tank. The aforementioned air duct extends from the side wall of the wardrobe body to the top of the wardrobe body, forming an air inlet at the lower end and an exhaust outlet at the upper end. The aforementioned exhaust fan is used to accelerate airflow. The aforementioned electric heating module is disposed at the exhaust end of the air duct to heat the air blown toward the moisture-absorbing material. The aforementioned moisture-absorbing material is disposed at the exhaust outlet of the air duct. The aforementioned condenser is disposed directly opposite the air outlet of the moisture-absorbing material. The aforementioned guide fan directs the air outlet of the moisture-absorbing material toward the condenser. The aforementioned water collection tank is located below the condenser to collect the condensate on the condenser.

[0007] The air duct has a flat cross-section. This flat design takes up less internal cabinet space, thus not affecting ease of use.

[0008] Preferably, the air duct includes a vertical section and a horizontal section located at the top of the vertical section. The vertical section is set close to the side wall of the cabinet and forms an air inlet at the bottom. The horizontal section is set close to the top plate of the cabinet.

[0009] A row of air guide holes is provided on the front end face of the vertical section. The air guide holes facilitate airflow and accelerate dehumidification.

[0010] Furthermore, the horizontal section extends outward to form a box, which contains the exhaust fan, electric heating module, guide fan and moisture-absorbing material. The front end of the aforementioned box forms a moisture outlet, and the condenser is located on the inner wall of the cabinet opposite the moisture outlet.

[0011] Furthermore, the box body has a dry air exhaust hole on the side near the moisture-absorbing material.

[0012] Furthermore, an air inlet hole is provided on the side of the box body near the electric heating module.

[0013] Preferably, the moisture-absorbing material includes a honeycomb-shaped ceramic substrate and a MOF (Metal-Organic Framework) supported on the ceramic substrate. MOF materials, used in the field of moisture absorption, are porous crystalline materials formed by the self-assembly of metal ions / clusters and organic ligands through coordination bonds. Their high specific surface area, tunable pore size, and surface chemical properties enable them to exhibit excellent moisture absorption performance in low-humidity environments.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: the moisture-absorbing material combined with a ventilation structure can continuously and effectively absorb moisture inside the wardrobe, reduce humidity, and prevent clothes from becoming damp and moldy. Simultaneously, the inclusion of an electric heating module and a condenser allows for rapid dehumidification and regeneration of the moisture-absorbing material, improving the convenience of dehumidification.

[0018] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the in-situ regeneration dehumidification device for the wardrobe in this embodiment includes a cabinet body 1 and a dehumidification module installed inside the cabinet body 1. The dehumidification module includes an air duct 2, an exhaust fan 6, an electric heating module 5, a moisture-absorbing material 7, a condenser 8, and a water collection tank 3. The air duct 2 extends from the side wall of the cabinet body 1 to the top of the cabinet body 1, with an air inlet 23 at the lower end and an exhaust outlet at the upper end. The exhaust fan 6 is used to accelerate airflow. The electric heating module 5 is located at the exhaust end of the air duct 2 and can heat the air blown toward the moisture-absorbing material 7. The moisture-absorbing material 7 is located at the exhaust outlet of the air duct 2. The condenser 8 is positioned directly opposite the air outlet of the moisture-absorbing material 7. The guide fan 9 can direct the air outlet of the moisture-absorbing material 7 toward the condenser 8. The water collection tank 3 is located below the condenser 8 and is used to collect the condensate on the condenser 8.

[0020] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the air duct 2 is flat. The flat design occupies less internal space in the cabinet, thus not affecting the ease of use.

[0021] The air duct 2 includes a vertical section 21 and a horizontal section 22 located at the top of the vertical section 21. The vertical section 21 is set close to the side wall of the cabinet 1 and forms an air inlet 23 at its bottom. The horizontal section 22 is set close to the top plate 11 of the cabinet 1. A row of air guide holes 24 are opened on the front end face of the vertical section 21 to facilitate airflow.

[0022] In this embodiment, the horizontal segment 22 extends outward to form a box 4. The top of the box 4 is connected to the top plate 11 of the cabinet. The box 4 contains an exhaust fan 6, an electric heating module 5, a guide fan 9, and a moisture-absorbing material 7. A moisture outlet 43 is formed at the front end of the box 4, and a condenser 8 is located on the inner wall of the cabinet 1 directly opposite the moisture outlet 43. A dry air exhaust hole 42 is provided on the side of the box 4 near the moisture-absorbing material 7. An air inlet hole 41 is provided on the side of the box 4 near the electric heating module 5.

[0023] In this embodiment, the moisture-absorbing material 3 includes a honeycomb-shaped ceramic substrate and a MOF (Metal-Organic Framework) loaded on the ceramic substrate. Honeycomb ceramic is a porous functional material with millimeter-scale through-channels, a large specific surface area, high mechanical strength, and high temperature resistance. As the supporting framework of the MOF, it provides macroscopic structural stability, solves the problems of MOF powder agglomeration and difficulty in forming, and enhances mass transfer efficiency. MOF materials, used in the field of moisture absorption, are a class of porous crystalline materials formed by the self-assembly of metal ions / clusters and organic ligands through coordination bonds. Their high specific surface area, tunable pore size, and surface chemical properties enable them to exhibit excellent moisture absorption performance in low-humidity environments.

[0024] The moisture-absorbing material combined with the ventilation structure can continuously and effectively absorb moisture inside the wardrobe, reduce humidity, and prevent clothes from getting damp and moldy.

[0025] During dehumidification, the exhaust fan is turned on, and airflow flows from bottom to top through the duct, blowing towards the moisture-absorbing material. The material absorbs the moisture in the airflow, and the water is then discharged from the dry air exhaust port 42. After dehumidification is complete and saturation is reached, the heating and desorption program is activated. The electric heating module and the guide fan work simultaneously, and the hot airflow blows towards the moisture-absorbing material, turning the moisture absorbed on the material into gaseous water vapor. The water vapor is blown towards the condenser, where it condenses into liquid water, which then flows into the water collection tank. When the water collection tank is full, the system can prompt the user (by setting a liquid level sensor system) to remove and empty the water.

[0026] In this embodiment, the moisture-absorbing material operates for 2 hours, then automatically switches to a heating and desiccation program, operating for 20 minutes, and repeats this cycle. The dehumidifying material in this embodiment is cubic in shape, with dimensions of 10cm*10cm*5cm, which can maintain a 50% humidity level for 24 hours in a cabinet space of 2.4m*0.8m*0.56m under an external humidity level of 80%.
