The fan 6 is disposed close to the front panel 11, and thus, the operation such as detection and maintenance of the fan 6 can be performed by detaching the front panel 11 from the other part of the casing 1 without moving the dehumidifier outside the wall.

Optionally, the air outlet 103 is disposed at the top of the casing 1, so that the air outlet of the dehumidifier is higher, which is beneficial to better diffusing the dehumidified dry air in the room. Further optionally, the air outlet 103 is provided with a wind swinging assembly, so as to diffuse the dry air at different angles.

The whole structure layout of the dehumidifier is described above, and the structure of the water tank 2 of the dehumidifier will be described later. It should be noted that the dehumidification method of the dehumidifier to which the structure of the water tank 2 described later is applied is not limited to the cooling dehumidification (for example, condensation of moisture in the air by the evaporator 5), but may be adsorption dehumidification (for example, adsorption of moisture in the air by a desiccant or a moisture adsorption film or the like) or compression dehumidification (for example, compression of the air to liquefy and precipitate the moisture) or the like.

Referring to fig. 7 to 13, in one embodiment, the water tank 2 includes a tank body 21, and a handle 22 rotatably coupled to the tank body 21; it will be appreciated that the handle 22 may facilitate carrying the water tank 2, thereby improving the user experience. However, the present design is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, a handle groove may be provided on the tank body 21 to facilitate carrying and transporting of the water tank 2.

Optionally, the handle 22 has a landscape state and a portrait state. It will be appreciated that the tank 2 is in the upright position when being carried. In the horizontal state, a lifting gap 201 is formed between the lifting handle 22 and the upper end of the box main body 21; in this embodiment, when the water tank 2 is mounted in the water tank mounting cavity, the lifting gap 201 is located on a side of the water tank 2 near the mounting/dismounting port 101, so that when the water tank 2 is full and needs to be taken out, a user can directly grip the handle 22 from the lifting gap 201 (i.e. the lower side of the handle 22), further pull the water tank 2 out of the mounting/dismounting port 101, and directly form a lifting state after pulling, so that the water tank 2 can be conveniently transported to the water pouring place at one time. It will be appreciated that for the water tank 2 provided with the clasp groove, the water tank 2 needs to be translated to the outside of the water tank installation cavity through the clasp groove, and then the water tank 2 is held up for carrying to the pouring position.

Alternatively, when the water tank 2 is mounted in the tank mounting chamber, the tank main body 21 is partially exposed to the outside of the mounting/dismounting port 101, so that the entire volume of the water tank 2 can be increased without increasing the housing 1.

Further alternatively, the bottom of the casing 1 is provided with a plurality of moving wheels 4, two moving wheels 4 are located at the bottom of the water tank installation cavity, the two moving wheels 4 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the mounting/dismounting opening 101, the lower cavity wall of the water tank installation cavity is provided with a partial recess 104 (see fig. 5) located between the two moving wheels 4, and the lower end of the tank main body 21 is provided with a downward expansion protrusion 211 (see fig. 13) corresponding to the partial recess 104, so that the overall volume of the water tank 2 can be further increased.

Optionally, when the water tank 2 is installed in the water tank installation cavity, the handle 22 is partially exposed outside the mounting/dismounting opening 101, so that when the water tank 2 is full of water and needs to be taken out, a user can directly hold the handle 22 from the upper side of the handle 22, and further pull out the water tank 2 from the mounting/dismounting opening 101.

Further, a positioning rib 105 is provided at the lower edge of the mounting/dismounting opening 101, the positioning rib 105 is used for positioning and limiting the lower end of the box main body 21 to slide out of the mounting/dismounting opening 101, a protruding buckle 212 is provided on the outer surface of the box side wall of the box main body 21, and an elastic buckle 151 is provided on the coaming 15 corresponding to the protruding buckle 212. During installation, the lower end of the tank main body 21 is generally inserted into the mounting and dismounting opening 101 until the outer edge of the lower end of the tank main body 21 abuts against the inner side of the positioning convex rib 105, and then the upper end of the tank main body 21 is pushed into the mounting and dismounting opening 101 until the elastic buckle 151 is buckled with the convex buckle 212, so that the water tank 2 can be fixed in the water tank mounting cavity, and the assembly is rapid; when the water tank is detached, the upper end and the lower end of the water tank 2 can be separated from the water tank mounting cavity in sequence only by holding the handle 22 and pulling the water tank 2 out of the mounting and dismounting opening 101, so that the detachment is rapid.

Without loss of generality, the tank body 21 has an upwardly facing tank opening, and the water tank 2 further includes a tank cover 23 covering the tank opening.

Optionally, two opposite sides of the box mouth are respectively provided with an upward protruding mounting lug 213, and two ends of the handle 22 are respectively rotatably mounted on one mounting lug 213; it will be appreciated that the addition of the mounting lugs 213 may facilitate the spacing between the handle 22 and the chest opening in the transverse position, i.e., to facilitate the formation of the pull gap 201.

Optionally, the cover 23 is provided with protrusions corresponding to the mounting lugs 213 at least on two opposite sides, so as to cover the mounting lugs 213, that is, the mating structure between the handle 22 and the mounting lugs 213 is covered under the protrusions, and it is understood that the mating structure between the handle 22 and the mounting lugs 213 usually involves protrusions such as a rotating shaft, which are exposed to the outside and are easy to be pricked, and are easy to be broken, and also affect the appearance of the water tank 2.

Optionally, the cover 23 is provided with a protrusion 231 crossing opposite sides, and both ends of the protrusion 231 are covered with one of the mounting lugs 213, so that the overall strength of the cover 23 can be further enhanced by the protrusion 231. Of course, other reinforcing structures such as reinforcing ribs may be provided on the cover 23.

Optionally, the water tank 2 is further provided with a limiting structure corresponding to the handle 22, and in the horizontal state, the limiting structure abuts against the lower side of the handle 22, so that the lifting gap 201 is spaced between the handle 22 and the tank opening. In this embodiment, by adding the limiting structure, stable formation of the lifting gap 201 may be ensured. However, in other embodiments, the present design is not limited to the above, and the limiting structure for abutting the lower side of the handle 22 may be omitted, and the damping structure may be directly disposed on the matching structure between the handle 22 and the mounting lug 213, so as to limit the self-rotation of the handle 22 relative to the mounting lug 213 by the damping structure, so that the pull gap 201 may also be formed.

Optionally, the limiting structure includes a limiting rib 231a extending from the bulge 231 toward the side of the mounting lug 213, and in the horizontal state, the limiting rib 231a abuts against the underside of the handle 22.

However, the present design is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the limiting structure may further include an abutment rib extending laterally from the mounting lug 213, and in the horizontal state, the abutment rib abuts against the underside of the handle 22.

As described above, when the water tank 2 is detached, the upper end and the lower end of the water tank 2 can be separated from the water tank installation cavity in sequence by only holding the handle 22 and pulling the water tank 2 to the outside of the detachable opening 101; it will be appreciated that during this disassembly process, the upper end of the water tank 2 is rotated out of the disassembly opening 101 due to the positioning effect of the positioning ribs 105 on the lower end of the water tank 2. Optionally, the extending direction of the bulge 231 is parallel to the plane where the mounting/dismounting port 101 is located, an inner corner portion far away from the mounting/dismounting port 101 is provided at the upper end of the bulge 231, the inner corner portion is arranged in an upward convex arc shape, and an upper cavity wall of the water tank mounting cavity is arranged in an upward concave arc shape corresponding to the inner corner portion; in this way, the rotary removal of the upper end of the water tank 2 is smoother in the process of pulling and disassembling the water tank 2 through the handle 22.

Further, the lower surface of the cover 23 is provided with a water splash-proof protrusion 232 near the edge of the cover 23. It will be appreciated that the water tank 2 is not likely to shake during handling, particularly during removal of the water tank 2, and that the dehumidified water in the tank body 21 is subject to sloshing and splashing. In this embodiment, by adding the splashproof protruding portion 232, the probability that the sloshing and splashing dehumidified water splashes to the edge of the case cover 23 can be reduced, so that the probability that the sloshing and splashing dehumidified water splashes from the edge of the case cover 23 can be reduced, and user experience is improved.

Alternatively, the water splash preventing protrusion 232 is provided at least on a side of the lower surface of the cover 23 away from the mounting/dismounting port 101. Taking the arrangement direction of the bottom of the water tank installation cavity and the mounting and dismounting port 101 as a first direction, in the process of taking out the water tank 2, the dehumidified water in the tank main body 21 easily shakes back and forth along the first direction, so that the shaking height of the dehumidified water is highest on the tank wall of the tank main body 21, which is close to the mounting and dismounting port 101, and the tank wall, which is far away from the mounting and dismounting port 101, and is easy to shake and splash from the edge of the tank cover 23, which is close to the mounting and dismounting port 101, and the edge, which is far away from the mounting and dismounting port 101; it will be appreciated that the edge of the cover 23 adjacent to the mounting/dismounting port 101 will be removed from the tank mounting chamber and will not fall into the tank mounting chamber even if there is spillage of the dehumidified water. In this embodiment, through being equipped with splashproof water convex part 232 in the one side of case lid 23 lower surface keeping away from install and remove mouth 101, can reduce the dehumidification water and be close to from this side the probability of case lid 23 edge to can reduce the dehumidification water and rock the probability of spill from this side, and then reduce the dehumidification water and spill and fall into the probability in the water tank installation cavity, improve user experience.

A water receiving disc is arranged above the water tank installation cavity, so that dehumidified water is collected and received through the water receiving disc; the water receiving tray is provided with a drain hole, the upper surface of the box cover 23 is provided with a water guiding groove 233 corresponding to the drain hole, and the water guiding groove 233 is provided with a water outlet 233a, so that the dehumidification water collected and carried by the water receiving tray can flow into the box main body 21 through the drain hole, the water guiding groove 233 and the water outlet 233a in sequence.

Optionally, the water guiding groove 233 is disposed on the water splashing preventing protrusion 232, so that the thickness of the water splashing preventing protrusion 232 can be utilized to ensure that the water guiding groove 233 has a sufficient depth, so as to reduce the probability of the dehumidified water falling into the water guiding groove 233 from the water draining hole to splash out of the water guiding groove 233, thereby improving the user experience.

Optionally, the tank main body 21 has a first tank side wall, one end of the water guiding tank 233 extends toward the first tank side wall, the water outlet 233a is disposed at one end of the water guiding tank 233 near the first tank side wall, and an edge of the water outlet 233a far from the first tank side wall is provided with a water blocking rib 234 extending downward. In this embodiment, by adding the water blocking ribs 234, the probability that the dehumidified water splashes out from the water outlet 233a due to shaking can be avoided. Alternatively, the water guiding groove 233 extends obliquely downward toward the first tank sidewall, that is, the water outlet 233a is provided at the lowest end of the water guiding groove 233, so as to drain the dehumidified water in the water guiding groove 233.

Optionally, the first tank side wall is provided with a water guiding rib 214 corresponding to the water outlet 233a, and the water guiding rib 214 extends along the up-down direction, so that the dehumidified water flowing into the tank main body 21 from the water outlet 233a of the water guiding groove 233 flows downwards along the water guiding rib 214, thereby avoiding the dehumidified water from directly dripping on the water surface of the tank main body 21, avoiding the generation of dripping noise, and improving the user experience. Further optionally, the tank main body 21 further has a second tank side wall adjacent to the first tank side wall, the water guiding groove 233 is disposed close to the second tank side wall, and the water outlet 233a is located at a side of the water guiding rib 214 away from the second tank side wall, so that the probability of the dehumidified water overflowing from the edge of the tank opening during entering the tank main body 21 can be reduced; it will be appreciated that, since the water guiding groove 233 is disposed close to the second tank sidewall, the water guiding rib 214 is also disposed close to the second tank sidewall, that is, the distance between the water guiding rib 214 and the second tank sidewall is small, if the dehumidified water flowing into the tank main body 21 from the water outlet 233a of the water guiding groove 233 flows down from the side of the water guiding rib 214 close to the second tank sidewall, the dehumidified water flowing in is likely to overflow from the upper end of the second tank sidewall at the upper end of the water guiding rib 214.

Further, the edge of the case cover 23 is provided with a water blocking flange 235 extending downwards, and the water blocking flange 235 abuts against the inner edge of the case mouth, so that the splashed dehumidified water is effectively limited to overflow from the edge of the case mouth through the water blocking flange 235. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the water blocking flange 235 is not provided on the edge of the case cover 23 near which the water splashing preventing protrusion 232 is provided; of course, in other embodiments, the water blocking flange 235 may be provided on the edge of the cover 23 near the water splashing prevention protrusion 232.

Further, the cover 23 is detachably connected to the case main body 21, so that the cover 23 can be easily replaced and detached. Alternatively, the case cover 23 is snap-coupled to the case body 21; however, the present arrangement is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the connection may be performed by other detachable manners, such as screw locking.

In one embodiment, the case cover 23 includes a fixed cover portion 23a fixedly connected to the case main body 21, and a movable cover portion 23b movably opened with respect to the fixed cover portion 23a. Thus, the water pouring operation can be performed by opening only the movable cover portion 23b without opening the entire cover 23, and the water pouring operation is more convenient.
