Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifiers, specifically to a dehumidifier that facilitates drainage. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life and industrial production, dehumidifiers are widely used to regulate air humidity. Their basic working principle is to condense water vapor in the air into liquid water through compressors or semiconductors, thereby achieving the dehumidification effect.

[0003] Currently, most household and small commercial dehumidifiers on the market use a water tank to collect condensate. After the machine has been running for a period of time, the condensate will gradually fill the tank. At this point, the dehumidifier will usually automatically stop working via a water level sensor or weight sensor and prompt the user to remove the accumulated water. This water collection method requires the user to manually move the water tank to a drain and empty it before the dehumidification function can be restored.

[0004] However, this traditional model, which relies on water tanks for water collection, has many inherent flaws that seriously affect the user experience: Frequent interruptions and manual intervention: In humid environments or situations requiring continuous dehumidification, the water tank capacity is limited, necessitating frequent "emptying and resetting" operations by the user. This not only disrupts the continuity of dehumidification but also imposes a continuous burden and inconvenience on the user.

[0005] Poor user experience: Pouring out the water tank may cause water to spill, wetting the ground or the user's hands. For elderly or mobility-impaired users, carrying a full water tank is a physical challenge.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a dehumidification solution that can fundamentally free users' hands and enable continuous unattended operation. Current technology lacks a dehumidifier design that is simple in structure, rationally laid out, and can completely eliminate the need for a water tank, guiding condensate water directly and stably to the outside. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dehumidifier that facilitates drainage, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A dehumidifier with convenient drainage includes a water tank and a main unit. The water tank has an upward-facing installation opening. The main unit has an idle state in which it is at least partially housed within the water tank through the installation opening, and an operating state in which it extends relative to the water tank through the installation opening. The dehumidifier also includes a main unit lifting device, which includes a connecting frame and a support rod assembly. The connecting frame is disposed on the top of the water tank. The top of the support rod assembly is connected to the main unit, and the bottom of the support rod assembly is connected to the connecting frame. The main unit is provided with a drainage structure.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting frame is provided with a first slot, and the support rod assembly is inserted into the first slot.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting frame is in the shape of a square ring, and the four corners of the connecting frame are recessed downwards to form the first slot.

[0011] Preferably, limiting plates are provided at the lower corners of the four corners of the connecting frame, and when the connecting frame is placed on the water tank, the limiting plates are located on the outer side of the outer wall of the water tank.

[0012] Preferably, reinforcing ribs are provided on the outer wall of the first slot, the bottom of the connecting frame, and the limiting plate.

[0013] Preferably, each of the four first support rods is further provided with a connecting joint, and a second support rod is provided on the connecting joint, the second support rod being inserted into the bottom of the main unit.

[0014] Preferably, the main unit includes a casing, an evaporator, a condenser, a compressor, and a water tray. The evaporator and condenser are positioned above the water tray, and a drain pipe is provided on the water tray, which is connected to the outside.

[0015] This utility model provides a convenient dehumidifier for drainage, which has the following advantages over existing technologies: By elevating the main unit and providing a drainage structure directly connected to the outside, condensate can be automatically and continuously discharged outside the window by gravity or pump force after it is generated. This fundamentally eliminates the traditional water tank collection mode, completely freeing users from the frequent "emptying water-resetting" cycle, and solving the core pain point of interruption due to manual intervention in the dehumidification process. It is especially suitable for occasions that require long-term continuous dehumidification. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the dehumidifier in its idle state provided in an embodiment of this utility model; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the working state structure of the dehumidifier provided in the embodiment of this utility model; Figure 3A schematic diagram of the connecting frame provided in an embodiment of this utility model; Figure 4 This is a partial schematic diagram of the support rod assembly provided in an embodiment of the present utility model; Figure 5 An exploded view of the host computer provided in an embodiment of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method: The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: water tank 1, main unit 2, connecting frame 3, first slot 4, limiting plate 5, reinforcing rib 6, first support rod 7, connecting section 8, second support rod 9, outer shell 10, evaporator 11, condenser 12, compressor 13, water tray 14, and drain pipe 15.

[0018] As attached Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this embodiment demonstrates a dehumidifier with convenient drainage. The dehumidifier mainly includes a main unit 2, a water tank 1, and a lifting device for the main unit 2. The top of the water tank 1 has an upward-facing installation opening, which allows the main unit 2 to have two different usage states: in the idle state, the main unit 2 is partially housed inside the water tank 1 through the opening, presenting a compact whole, which is convenient for storage and transportation; while in the working state, the main unit 2 extends upward relative to the water tank 1 through the opening, leaving sufficient space for air circulation below.

[0019] The lifting device for the main unit 2 mainly includes a connecting frame 3 located on top of the water tank 1 and a support rod assembly connected to the main unit 2. Specifically, the connecting frame 3 can be designed as a stable square ring structure, with its four corners recessed downwards to form the first slot 4 for installing the support rod. This design provides a stable and symmetrical support base for the entire lifting device. To ensure accurate and reliable positioning of the connecting frame 3 on the water tank 1, limiting plates 5 can be installed below its four corners. When the connecting frame 3 is placed stably on top of the water tank 1, these limiting plates 5 will be located precisely on the outer side of the outer wall of the water tank 1, thereby effectively preventing accidental horizontal movement of the connecting frame 3 during use.

[0020] In some embodiments, reinforcing ribs 6 can be provided on key stress-bearing parts such as the outer wall of the first slot 4, the bottom of the connecting frame 3, and the limiting plate 5. These reinforcing ribs 6 can significantly enhance the structural strength of the connecting frame 3 and prevent it from deforming or being damaged due to long-term bearing of the weight of the host 2.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the component includes at least four vertically arranged first support rods 7. The bottoms of these first support rods 7 can be securely inserted into the first slots 4 of the connecting frame 3, while their tops are inserted into the interface at the bottom of the main unit 2, thereby steadily lifting the main unit 2 away from the water tank 1. To further improve the stability of the support, connecting sections 8 can be installed on these four first support rods 7, and second support rods 9 can be installed from the connecting sections 8. The tops of these second support rods 9 are inserted into the bottom of the main unit 2, thereby further raising the height of the main unit 2 to adapt to different usage scenarios.

[0022] Ultimately, one of the core purposes of the lifting unit 2 is to achieve convenient automatic drainage. The unit 2 contains core components such as an evaporator 11, a condenser 12, a compressor 13, and a drip tray 14. The evaporator 11 and condenser 12 are mounted above the drip tray 14. Condensate produced during operation drips into the drip tray 14. Crucially, a drain pipe 15 is connected to the drip tray 14, directly connecting it to the external environment, for example, through a window. In this way, the condensate can be continuously and automatically drained outdoors via the drain pipe 15 by gravity or with the aid of an external small water pump, completely eliminating the hassle of manual emptying and achieving truly continuous unattended dehumidification operation.

[0023] The above descriptions are merely embodiments of this utility model, and common knowledge regarding specific structures and characteristics is not elaborated upon here. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of this utility model, and these should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. These modifications will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of this utility model or the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection claimed in this application shall be determined by the content of its claims, and the specific embodiments described in the specification can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
