For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 This utility model discloses a split-type dehumidifier, comprising: a water tank 100 having an open cavity 101; a body 200 having a dehumidification device inside; and a flexible water pipe 300 connected between the drain end of the dehumidification device and the cavity 101, with a water pump 310 mounted on the flexible water pipe 300. The body 200 has a working position and a storage position relative to the water tank 100. When the body 200 is in the working position, it is located on one side of the water tank 100. When the body 200 is in the storage position, part or all of it is housed within the cavity 101.

[0024] The water tank 100 and the body 200 of the above-mentioned split dehumidifier are two independent parts. The drain end of the dehumidifier and the cavity 101 of the water tank 100 are connected by a flexible water pipe 300 and a water pump 310. According to the usage needs, the water tank 100 and the body 200 can be arranged in different positions within the length range of the flexible water pipe 300. For example, the water tank 100 and the body 200 can be arranged side by side or staggered left and right, up and down, etc., so as to adapt to storage spaces of different shapes and positions, and also facilitate the cleaning of accumulated water. When not in use, the body 200 can be housed in the water tank 100 to reduce the storage and packaging volume.

[0025] See Figure 1 and Figure 4In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom of the body 200 is provided with a water storage box 400 connected to the drain end of the dehumidification device. One end of the flexible water pipe 300 is connected to the water storage box 400. The water storage box 400 is provided with a control component 500 that can drive the water pump 310 to work intermittently. It can be understood that the condensate generated by the dehumidification device accumulates in the water storage box 400. When the accumulated water reaches a certain amount, the control component 500 controls the water pump 310 to work to transfer the water in the water storage box 400 to the cavity 101 of the water tank 100. When there is no water in the water storage box 400, the water pump 310 stops working. When the accumulated water reaches a certain amount, the water pump 310 restarts. The above structure can eliminate the need for the water pump 310 to work continuously and prevent the water pump 310 from running dry after the water dries up, thereby extending the service life of the water pump 310.

[0026] See Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the control component 500 includes a floating element 510 that is raised and lowered within the water storage box 400 and a switch element 520 that cooperates with the floating element 510. The switch element 520 is electrically connected to the water pump 310. When the floating element 510 moves upward a certain distance, it can trigger the switch element 520 to start the water pump 310. It can be understood that when the water in the water storage box 400 reaches a certain height, it will trigger the floating element 510 to float upward. When the floating element 510 floats upward, it can trigger the switch element 520, which in turn drives the water pump 310 to start. This allows for accurate control of the start and stop of the water pump 310 based on the amount of water in the water storage box 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the control component 500 can also be a timer module. After the dehumidifier has worked for a certain period of time, the water pump 310 can be started for a preset duration, thereby achieving intermittent operation of the water pump 310.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, a drawer groove is recessed in one side wall of the base of the body 200, the drain end of the dehumidification device is located at the top of the drawer groove, and the water storage box 400 is slidably disposed within the drawer groove. It is understood that when it is necessary to clean the water storage box 400 or maintain the control component 500, the water storage box 400 can be pulled out of the drawer groove. When the water storage box 400 is in the drawer groove, it can directly receive water droplets falling from the top.

[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of this utility model, the body 200 is arranged vertically, and the bottom of the body 200 is provided with a drain outlet connected to the drain end of the dehumidification device. The two ends of the flexible water pipe 300 are detachably connected to the drain outlet and the water tank 100, respectively. It should be noted that when the flexible water pipe 300 is separated from the water tank 100, the water tank 100 can be used alone as a water storage container, and the body 200 can also be used alone as a regular dehumidifier. The generated water is discharged through the flexible water pipe 300 to the sewer or other places where water is needed. After the flexible water pipe 300 is separated from the drain outlet, there is no need to consider the problem of interference between the flexible water pipe 300 and the water pump 310 and other components when the body 200 is stored in the water tank 100.

[0029] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the water tank 100 includes a tank body 110 and a cover 120. The inner cavity of the tank body 110 forms an upward-opening cavity 101, and the cover 120 is detachably installed in the opening of the cavity 101. It is understood that the water tank 100 is placed separately from the main body 200. The cover 120 prevents other items from accidentally falling into the cavity 101, and also prevents water from spilling out when the water tank 100 is being moved. When water needs to be poured out, simply open the cover 120 and tilt the tank body 110 to pour the water out.

[0030] See Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the entire body 200 is housed within the cavity 101, and the cover 120 abuts against the top wall of the body 200 when installed at the opening of the cavity 101. This structure allows the body 200 and the water tank 100 to be stored and transported as a single, smaller unit, and prevents the body 200 from bouncing relative to the water tank 100 and frequently impacting it.

[0031] See Figure 1 In some embodiments of this utility model, the outer periphery of the cover 120 is provided with an upwardly protruding annular surrounding plate 121. The cover 120 is provided with a drain outlet 122 that communicates with the cavity 101. The body 200 can be placed on the cover 120. The condensate discharged from the drain outlet can fall into the cover 120 and enter the cavity 101 through the drain outlet 122. It can be understood that the annular surrounding plate 121 and the cover 120 form a water storage tank. After the condensate falls into the water storage tank, it enters the cavity 101 through the drain outlet 122, reducing the possibility of water splashing. In addition, the annular surrounding plate 121 can also prevent the body 200 from shifting and falling off the water tank 100 when accidentally touched, thus improving safety.

[0032] See Figure 2 When the unit 200 is placed on the cover 120, the water tank 100 and the unit 200 are stacked vertically, occupying a smaller area on the ground. This allows the exhaust point of the unit 200 to be positioned higher, enabling the dehumidified air to be diffused more quickly throughout the indoor space. To further prevent the unit 200 from shifting relative to the water tank 100, in some embodiments of this invention, the lower outer periphery of the unit 200 fits into the inner periphery of the annular enclosure 121. The cover 120 is provided with a positioning protrusion 123, and the bottom of the unit 200 is provided with a positioning groove that mates with the positioning protrusion 123.

[0033] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom of the water tank 100 and / or the bottom of the body 200 are provided with a roller assembly 600, which allows the user to push the water tank 100 and the body 200 to move with ease, and also makes it convenient for the user to move the water tank 100 to the pouring position.

[0034] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
