Similarly, "inside, outside" means inside and outside with respect to the contours of each part itself for ease of understanding and explanation, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit the invention. Working Example

[0020] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, a condenser structure 100 for a dehumidifier is designed to improve heat exchange efficiency and simplify the structure. This structure includes an upper cover assembly 1 having an upper chamber and a lower cover assembly 2 having a lower chamber, and a first suction pipe assembly 3 and a second suction pipe assembly 4 are provided between the upper cover assembly 1 and the lower cover assembly 2, thereby realizing the separation and circulation of cold air and hot air. The lower cover assembly 2 is particularly provided with a hot air inlet 211 and a cold air outlet 212, which are respectively connected to the first suction pipe assembly 3 and the second suction pipe assembly 4, and the upper end of the first suction pipe assembly 3 and the upper end of the second suction pipe assembly 4 are both connected to the upper chamber in the upper cover assembly 1, thereby ensuring that the hot air and the cold air flow as expected.

[0021] In this embodiment, the first suction pipe assembly 3 is not a single pipe but is composed of a plurality of converged first thin-walled suction pipes 31, such a design not only increases the heat exchange area but also improves the heat transfer efficiency. Similarly, the second suction pipe assembly 4 is also composed of a plurality of converged second thin-walled suction pipes 41, which ensures the efficient flow of cool air. Such a design of the suction pipe assembly composed of a plurality of thin-walled suction pipes not only improves the heat exchange performance of the condenser, but also makes the whole structure more compact and lightweight, making it easier to install and maintain.

[0022] In concrete implementation, in order to further optimize the heat exchange efficiency, there is a difference in design between the first thin-walled suction pipe 31 and the second thin-walled suction pipe 41. Specifically, the diameter of the first thin-walled suction pipe 31 is designed to be larger than that of the second thin-walled suction pipe 41, and in this design, the hot air exchanges heat more fully with the inside of the condenser when passing through the first suction pipe assembly 3. Also, in order to balance the heat exchange area and the space occupation, the ratio of the space occupied by the first suction pipe assembly 3 to the space occupied by the second suction pipe assembly 4 is precisely controlled to 1:3 to 1:4, which avoids the waste of space while ensuring a sufficient heat exchange area. In terms of specific size, the second thin-walled suction pipe 41 is designed to have a diameter of 9 cm and a wall thickness of 0.2 cm, thereby ensuring sufficient strength and thermal conductivity. On the other hand, the first thin-walled suction pipe 31 has a diameter of 12 cm, which is slightly larger than the diameter of the second thin-walled suction pipe 41, and like the second thin-walled suction pipe 41, has a wall thickness of 0.2 cm, thereby ensuring structural stability and heat exchange efficiency.

[0023] Furthermore, the top cover assembly 1 mainly consists of the top cover case 11 and the fixing member 12 of the upper cavity, and these regions are tightly connected through engagement, thereby ensuring the stability and sealing of the internal structure. The engagement points are provided with engagement parts and engagement grooves that fit together, which is advantageous for efficient assembly, and also ensures a sealing effect at the connection points, preventing leakage of media.

[0024] Specifically, the upper surface of the fixing member 12 of the upper cavity is integrally formed with a first buckle 121 protruding upward, and therefore the upper cover case 11 is provided with a first locking portion 111 that fits therewith, and the locking portion is tightly fitted into the buckle, thereby stably connecting the upper cover case 11 and the fixing member 12 of the upper cavity. Furthermore, the fixing member 12 of the upper cavity is further provided with a first seal groove 122, and a part of the upper cover case 11 is inserted into the first seal groove 122 to form an effective seal structure and prevent leakage of the medium. In addition, the fixing member 12 of the upper cavity is provided with a first through hole 123 into which the upper end of the first thin-walled suction pipe 31 is inserted and a second through hole 124 into which the upper end of the second thin-walled suction pipe 41 is inserted, thereby ensuring the accuracy of assembly of the heat exchanger assembly and the efficiency of operation.

[0025] Furthermore, the bottom cover assembly 2 includes a bottom cover case 21 and a fixing member 22 for the lower cavity, and the bottom cover case 21 and the fixing member 22 for the lower cavity are connected in a sealed manner through engagement, thereby effectively preventing leakage of the medium. The bottom cover case 21 is provided with a cold / hot air baffle 23, which divides the lower chamber into independent first and second chambers. The first chamber communicates with the first suction pipe assembly 3 and the hot air inlet 211, thereby ensuring that hot air is smoothly introduced, and the second chamber communicates with the second suction pipe assembly 4 and the cold air outlet 212, thereby ensuring that cold air is blown out in a predetermined direction.

[0026] Specifically, a second buckle 221 protruding downward is integrally formed on the lower surface of the fixing member 22 of the lower cavity, and therefore, a second locking portion 215 that fits therewith is provided on the bottom cover case 21, and the locking portion is tightly fitted into the buckle to ensure a stable connection between the fixing member 22 of the lower cavity and the bottom cover case 21. A second seal groove is further provided on the fixing member 22 of the lower cavity, and a part of the bottom cover case 21 is inserted into the second seal groove to form an effective seal structure. Furthermore, a third through hole into which the upper end of the first thin-walled suction pipe 31 is inserted and a fourth through hole into which the upper end of the second thin-walled suction pipe 41 is inserted are also previously provided on the fixing member 22 of the lower cavity, thereby ensuring the accuracy of assembly of the heat exchanger assembly.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the circulation of the drainage and heat exchange medium, a first outlet 213 is cleverly provided at the bottom of the first chamber, and a second outlet 214 is similarly provided at the bottom of the second chamber. The two outlets design can efficiently drain the liquid in each chamber separately, which improves the overall heat exchange efficiency and performance of the device.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to effectively adjust the flow direction and flow speed of the cold air, a cold air baffle 24 is added to the lower cover case 21 where the cold air outlet 212 is located. This cold air baffle 24 has a special design and has an arc-shaped guide shielding part. When the cold air from the second thin-walled suction pipe 41 flows downward, it first contacts the shielding part, and then is guided to the second chambers on both sides and flows evenly. In this process, the cold air is shielded, so its flow speed is reduced, thus avoiding the cold air from being directly blown out from the cold air outlet 212 at high speed, thereby realizing the even distribution and gentle blowing of the cold air, and improving the user experience and the effect of the device.

[0029] In this invention, an efficient circulation space is created by carefully designed top cover assembly 1, bottom cover assembly 2, first suction pipe assembly 3, and second suction pipe assembly 4. As an innovation, a thin-walled suction pipe is used as a cold and heat exchange medium in this space, which greatly increases the heat exchange speed and promotes the condensation of water inside the dehumidifier. In addition, since no refrigerant and compressor are required for this process, this design not only reduces the noise and energy consumption generated during the operation of the device, but also avoids the environmental pollution problems caused by traditional cooling methods, and achieves an environmentally friendly and efficient dehumidification effect.
