Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments disclosed herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

Referring to fig. 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a dehumidifier including: body 100, evaporator 200, condenser 300 and barrier assembly 400.

A machine body 100 including an air inlet 101, a first air outlet 102 and a second air outlet 103, wherein the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 102 are disposed oppositely;

the evaporator 200 is arranged in the machine body 100 close to the air inlet 101;

a condenser 300 disposed in the body 100 near the first air outlet 102;

the baffle assembly 400 is movably arranged in the machine body 100, and in a first state, the baffle assembly 400 opens the second air outlet 103 and is abutted to the evaporator 200 so as to divide the machine body 100 into a first air channel alpha and a second air channel beta which are overlapped, and simultaneously perform cold air operation and dehumidification operation; in the second state, the barrier assembly 400 closes the second air outlet 103 to form a first air channel α in the body 100, so as to perform the dehumidification operation.

In the embodiment, the specific configuration of the dehumidifier is optimized to enrich the use function of the dehumidifier, so that the dehumidifier can realize the dehumidification function and the cooling function, thereby meeting the user requirements to the maximum extent and improving the user satisfaction.

Specifically, the dehumidifier is configured as a combined member including at least the body 100, the evaporator 200, the condenser 300, and the barrier assembly 400, and the evaporator 200, the condenser 300, and the barrier assembly 400 are all configured in the body 100. The machine body 100 at least comprises an air inlet 101 and two air outlets, and air enters the machine body 100 from the air inlet 101 and is blown out from the two air outlets respectively, so as to achieve different effects.

The evaporator 200 is arranged near the air inlet 101 and used for forming cold air; the condenser 300 is disposed near the first air outlet 102 for forming warm air. When the barrier assembly 400 is in the first state, it abuts against the evaporator 200 to separate the housing 100 into two stacked air ducts, thereby forming a dual air duct system, in which the first air duct α communicates with the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 102, and the second air duct β communicates with the air inlet 101 and the second air outlet 103. Thus, the air entering the interior of the machine body 100 from the air inlet 101 flows through the evaporator 200 to form cold air; then, a part of the air flows through the condenser 300 in the first air channel α, and forms warm air to flow out from the first air outlet 102, so as to achieve the dehumidification effect; the other part of air flows through the second air channel beta and flows out of the second air outlet 103, so that the cooling effect is achieved; thereby realizing the effects of dehumidification and cooling at the same time. When the partition assembly 400 is in the second state, it closes the second air outlet 103, and at this time, only one warm air duct (the first air duct α) remains inside the machine body 100. Thus, the air entering the interior of the body 100 from the air inlet 101 flows through the evaporator 200, then flows through the condenser 300, forms warm air, and flows out from the first air outlet 102, so as to achieve the dehumidification effect. In addition, in the second state, since the second air outlet 103 is closed, the air entering the body 100 flows out only from the first air outlet 102, and the dehumidifier has the maximum dehumidification capability at this time.

It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, by configuring the evaporator 200 and the condenser 300 at the same time, the dehumidifier can implement a dehumidification function and a temperature reduction function. Moreover, by changing the relative position of the partition assembly 400, the air duct composition inside the dehumidifier body 100 is in a changing state, rather than being invariable, so as to realize different functions of the dehumidifier.

In addition, in the first state, the first air duct α and the second air duct β are overlapped, so that the reasonable application of the internal space of the body 100 is effectively improved, the miniaturization of the dehumidifier is facilitated, and the industrial production of the multifunctional dehumidifier is realized.

In one example, the condenser 300 and the evaporator 200 are sized to optimize relative positional relationships and connection relationships of the internal components of the body 100. Specifically, in the height direction Z of the body 100, the height of the condenser 300 is smaller than the height of the evaporator 200, and the barrier assembly 400 is located above the condenser 300. The present example ensures that the condenser 300 is completely accommodated in the first air passage α without affecting the air temperature in the second air passage β by configuring the size of the condenser 300 to be smaller than that of the evaporator 200 to directly dispose the barrier assembly 400 above the condenser 300.

In one example, the intake vent 101 and the first outlet vent 102 are disposed on a sidewall of the barrier assembly 400, and the second outlet vent 103 is disposed on a top wall of the barrier assembly 400. The barrier assembly 400 may have a cross-shaped structure, a vertical portion of which extends in the height direction Z of the machine body 100, and a lateral portion of which is movable along the vertical portion. The mechanism for adjusting the relative position of the kicker assembly 400 is as follows: in the first state, two ends of the transverse portion respectively abut against the side walls of the evaporator 200 and the machine body 100, so as to partition the internal space of the machine body 100 into two independent air ducts, at this time, the first air outlet 102 communicates with the first air duct α, and the second air outlet 103 communicates with the second air duct β. In the second state, the transverse portion abuts against the inner side of the top wall of the body 100, so as to close the second air outlet 103, so that only the first air duct α is reserved inside the body 100, thereby achieving the dehumidifying function.

Referring to fig. 5, 6 and 8, in one possible embodiment, the barrier assembly 400 includes a first support 410 and a blocking member 420 connected to each other, the first support 410 is disposed between the evaporator 200 and the condenser 300, and the blocking member 420 is movable relative to the first support 410 to open or close the second air outlet 103.

In this embodiment, the specific structure of the barrier assembly 400 is optimized. Specifically, the barrier assembly 400 is configured as a combined member including at least a first support 410 and a barrier 420, and the barrier 420 is movably connected to the first support 410, and the opening or closing of the second air outlet 103 is realized by changing the relative position between the barrier 420 and the first support 410. For example, but not limiting of, the barrier 420 is a baffle.

In one example, to improve the independence of the two air ducts and reduce the interference of air entering the two air ducts, a seal is also provided on the side of the barrier 420 adjacent to the evaporator 200. When the blocking member 420 is in the first state, the sealing member abuts against the evaporator 200, so as to reduce air interference at the gap between the blocking member 420 and the evaporator 200, on the one hand, reduce impact force applied when the blocking member 420 abuts against the evaporator 200, and reduce mechanical damage/damage of the evaporator 200 caused by the blocking member 420. For example, but not limited to, the seal is a bead of sealant, a layer of sealant, or the like.

In one example, the air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 102 are disposed on a side wall of the barrier assembly 400, and the second air outlet 103 is disposed on a top wall of the barrier assembly 400. The blocking member 420 is vertically connected to the first supporting member 410 to form a cross-shaped structure. The obstructing member 420 is reciprocally movable between the first outlet 102 and the second outlet 103. In the first state, an air duct distance is provided between the blocking member 420 and the second air outlet 103, at this time, two ends of the blocking member 420 are respectively abutted to the sidewalls of the evaporator 200 and the machine body 100, and the machine body 100 is divided into two independent air ducts, the first air outlet 102 is communicated with the first air duct α, and the second air outlet 103 is communicated with the second air duct β, so that dehumidification and cooling effects can be simultaneously achieved. In the second state, the blocking member 420 abuts against the inner side of the top wall of the body 100 to close the second air outlet 103, so that only the first air channel α remains inside the body 100, thereby achieving the dehumidification effect.

Referring to fig. 8, in one possible embodiment, the barrier assembly 400 further comprises a rotating shaft 430 and a rotating driver 440, the blocking member 420 is rotatably connected to the first support member 410 through the rotating shaft 430; the output end of the rotary driving member 440 is connected to the connecting rotary shaft 430 to drive the blocking member 420 to rotate.

For example, but not limiting of, the rotational drive 440 is a drive motor.

Referring to fig. 8, in a possible embodiment, the first support 410 includes a support frame 411 and two enclosing plates 412 respectively connected to two opposite sides of the support frame 411, one side of the two enclosing plates 412 away from the support frame 411 abuts against the evaporator 200, and the support frame 411 abuts against the condenser 300;

the blocking member 420 is rotatably connected to the supporting frame 411 and is located above the condenser 300.

In this embodiment, the specific structure of the first supporting member 410 is optimized to optimize the relative positions of the internal components of the machine body 100, so as to save the occupied space. Specifically, the first support 410 is configured as a combined member including at least a support frame 411 and two enclosing plates 412, and the two enclosing plates 412 are oppositely connected to both sides of the support frame 411 to form a C-shaped groove structure.

It should be understood that after entering the partial chamber, the air may flow through the condenser 300 through the supporting frame 411 and then flow out of the first outlet 102.

In one example, a sealing member is provided on a side of the enclosure 412 away from the support bracket 411 to improve the sealing property at the connection between the enclosure 412 and the evaporator 200 and reduce air interference at the gap between the enclosure 412 and the evaporator 200. For example, but not limited to, the seal is a bead of sealant, a layer of sealant, or the like.
