Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dehumidifier technology, and in particular to a frame assembly and a dehumidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional dehumidifiers typically employ a modular frame structure, assembled from multiple independent components (such as the base, support columns, and fan bracket) using bolts or clips. This structure has significant technical drawbacks: First, the assembly of multiple components leads to complex production processes, low assembly efficiency, and the joints are prone to loosening or rattling due to vibration. Second, the modular design requires allowances for assembly tolerances, resulting in insufficient overall structural strength, especially prone to deformation during transportation or movement. Furthermore, dust easily accumulates at the seams and is difficult to clean, affecting aesthetics and hygiene. More importantly, the high cost of independent mold development for each component and low material utilization further increase production costs. These structural defects restrict product reliability and market competitiveness. Utility Model Content

[0033] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes a frame assembly and a dehumidifier according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame assembly according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a base 100 and an upper frame. The upper frame includes a fan base 210 and at least two columns 220 disposed on the outer edge of the fan base 210 and pointing downwards. The columns 220 and the fan base 210 are an integral structure. The lower end of the columns 220 is connected to the base 100 through a mounting mechanism, so that the interior of the frame assembly forms an installation space that can be used to install the heat exchanger assembly 910 and the compressor assembly 920.

[0036] Since the column 220 and the fan base 210 are integrated, the assembly process of the frame components is simplified, and a relatively stable installation space can be formed, which is not easy to deform or shift, thus improving the reliability of the dehumidifier.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting mechanism may be a screw mechanism, a snap-fit ​​mechanism, etc.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, four columns 220 are configured, and the four columns 220 are distributed in a rectangular array on the outer edge of the frame component, forming a large opening structure on the side of the frame component, which can form a large air intake surface and improve the air intake efficiency.

[0039] Specifically, the frame assembly has a cuboid structure, and four columns 220 are arranged in a rectangular array at the corners of the frame assembly. The heat exchanger assembly 910 has a U-shaped structure and corresponds to the three sides of the frame assembly. Through the above structure, a larger air inlet surface is formed on the side of the frame assembly and the heat exchanger assembly 910, thereby improving the dehumidification efficiency.

[0040] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, the frame component may be configured as a cylindrical structure, and the columns 220 may be configured as two, three, five or more as needed, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] like Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the column 220 is an elongated plate with an arc-shaped cross-section (horizontal cross-section). The inner side of the column 220 is provided with a reinforcing plate 221 extending in the vertical direction, which has high structural stability and can reduce the application of materials and reduce costs.

[0042] Specifically, the upper frame is an injection-molded one-piece structure, and the column 220 uses a combination of sheet metal and reinforcing plate, which is conducive to its injection molding (mold opening) and less prone to injection molding defects (such as shrinkage cavities, bubbles, stress concentration lamp defects caused when injection molding larger solids).

[0043] Of course, in the specific implementation process, the upper frame can also be a metal casting (such as a die casting). The above structure can also achieve the advantages of high structural strength and low material cost.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the column 220 and the fan base 210 are injection-molded integral structures, which have simple production processes, high production efficiency, and low cost.

[0045] Specifically, the column 220 and the fan base 210 are injection molded, which reduces the assembly process of the column 220 and the fan base 210, improves the assembly efficiency, and the overall injection molding production cost is low and the production efficiency is high.

[0046] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, the column 220 and the fan base 210 may also be an integral structure formed by die casting, which will not be described in detail here.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the fan base 210 is provided with a bowl-shaped cavity that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The lower end of the bowl-shaped cavity is provided with an air inlet 211 that connects to the installation space, and the upper end of the bowl-shaped cavity is provided with an air outlet 212 that connects to the outside of the dehumidifier, forming an upper air outlet structure with a reasonable air duct layout.

[0048] Specifically, the interior of the frame assembly forms an installation space for installing the heat exchanger assembly 910 and the compressor assembly 920. The heat exchanger assembly 910 is arranged around the installation space, and the compressor assembly 920 is located in the middle of the installation space. The air inlet 211 is connected to the installation space, which creates a negative pressure in the installation space, causing outside air to pass through the heat exchanger assembly 910 and enter the installation space, thereby completing the dehumidification process.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the fan base 210 is a shell structure, which includes a side support plate 213 distributed along the outer edge of the fan base 210 and a bowl-shaped shell 214 located inside the side support plate 213. The bowl-shaped cavity is provided in the bowl-shaped shell 214. The side support plate 213 extends from bottom to top, and the bowl-shaped shell 214 extends from the upper end of the side support plate 213 downward. There is a gap between the outer wall of the bowl-shaped shell 214 and the inner side of the side support plate 213. A reinforcing rib 216 is provided between the outer wall of the bowl-shaped shell 214 and the inner side of the side support plate 213, so that the fan base 210 has good structural strength and low material cost.

[0050] Specifically, the upper frame is an injection-molded one-piece structure, and the vertical fan base 210 is a shell structure, which is conducive to its injection molding (mold opening) and is less prone to injection molding defects (such as shrinkage cavities, bubbles, stress concentration lamp defects generated when injection molding larger solids), and can maintain high structural strength and reduce material costs.

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, a fan frame 230 is installed above or on the upper part of the fan base 210. The fan frame 230 is used to install the motor of the fan assembly 400. The output shaft of the motor extends downward and is connected to the impeller of the fan assembly 400. The impeller is located in the cup-shaped cavity, forming a fan mounting structure in which the motor is located on the air outlet side of the impeller, reducing the suction resistance of the fan assembly 400, increasing the air volume, and improving the dehumidification efficiency of the dehumidifier.

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the upper frame includes an upper platform 240, a column 220 extending downward from the lower end of the upper platform 240, and a fan base 210 located above the upper platform 240. The upper end of the upper platform 240 does not have a fan base 210 location, forming an installation area 241 for installing the electronic component module 930, so as to make reasonable use of the upper frame and improve space utilization.

[0053] Specifically, the upper platform 240, the column 220 and the fan base 210 are integrally formed structures, and the electronic component module 930 can be a Bluetooth module, a detection module, etc.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting area 241 is provided with mounting structures for fixing the electronic component module 930, such as snap-fit, mounting groove, mounting base, threaded base, etc., to facilitate the installation of the electronic component module 930.

[0055] Specifically, the mounting structure for fixing the electronic component module 930 can be directly injection molded onto the upper frame, which simplifies the production process, simplifies the installation of the electronic component module 930, and improves assembly efficiency.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the upper platform 240 has a square structure, the fan base 210 has a circular structure, and the four corners of the upper surface of the upper platform 240 respectively form installation areas 241, resulting in high space utilization.

[0057] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 The dehumidifier according to the second aspect of the present invention includes a frame assembly of any of the first aspects of the present invention. Since the upper frame is an integral structure, the assembly process of the dehumidifier as a whole is simplified, and the dehumidifier has better structural strength.

[0058] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the dehumidifier includes a frame assembly, a fan assembly 400, a compressor assembly 920, and a heat exchanger assembly 910. The fan assembly 400 is disposed on the fan base 210; the compressor assembly 920 is disposed on the base 100 and located in the middle of the installation space; the heat exchanger assembly 910 is disposed on the base 100 and distributed around the outer edge of the installation space; and the frame assembly is provided with mounting structures corresponding to the fan assembly 400, the compressor assembly 920, and the heat exchanger assembly 910.

[0059] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the frame assembly is a cuboid structure, the heat exchanger assembly 910 is a U-shaped structure and corresponds to the three sides of the frame assembly respectively, and the notch of the U-shaped heat exchanger assembly 910 is equipped with an electrical box 500. The structure is reasonably laid out and forms a three-sided air intake structure, which improves the dehumidification efficiency.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the upper part of the electrical box 500 is provided with an upper extension 510, and the upper frame is provided with an insertion slot 501 for the upper extension 510 to be inserted, so that the electrical box 500 can be initially positioned when the upper frame is assembled with the base 100.

[0061] Specifically, the electrical box 500 and the frame assembly are also equipped with a screw mounting structure to improve the stability of the electrical box 500 installation. During the specific installation process, when the upper frame and the base 100 are assembled, the cooperation between the insertion slot 501 and the upper extension 510 can achieve the initial positioning of the electrical box 500, so as to facilitate the subsequent fastening installation of the electrical box 500. Furthermore, the insertion and cooperation structure between the insertion slot 501 and the upper extension 510 can meet the initial fixation of the electrical box 500, facilitating the connection, assembly and debugging of electrical components.
