In this embodiment, it can be understood that a dehumidifying device is disposed on the water-receiving tray 11, and dehumidified water generated by the dehumidifying device falls into the water-receiving tray 11 and flows into the water tank 12 for storage. Referring to fig. 4, alternatively, the dehumidifying apparatus includes a compressor 15, an evaporator 16 and a condenser 17, the evaporator 16 condenses the water vapor in the air into water droplets to remove the water vapor in the air, and the condenser 17 heats and dries the air from which the water vapor is removed to return the blown air to normal temperature; of course, in other embodiments, the dehumidification device may also adopt a dehumidification method such as an adsorption type.

In this embodiment, optionally, the water tank 12 and the water pan 11 are integrally formed; so, compare in the technical scheme of basin 12 with the water collector 11 components of a whole that can function independently, the basin 12 and the water collector 11 of integrative setting can reduce the assembly process of product to improve the assembly efficiency of product, the structure of product is also simpler. Generally, the water tank 12 may be formed by partially sinking the water receiving tray 11.

In this embodiment, the water tank 2 is usually detachable from the main body 1, that is, the user can detach the water tank 2 from the main body 1 after the water tank 2 is full, and separately transport the water tank 2 to a place where the water is poured to pour the dehumidified water. As for the overflow path, the communication with the water tank 12 is usually located at the upper end of the water tank 12, that is, the water in the water tank 12 will flow into the water tank 2 through the overflow path when the water tank is full or nearly full.

According to the technical scheme of the utility model, on one hand, the water tank 2 is arranged outside the machine body 1, compared with the technical scheme that the water tank 2 is arranged inside the machine body 1, the volume of the water tank 2 is not limited by the machine body 1, so that the water tank 2 has larger volume, more dehumidification water is contained, the water full pouring times of the water tank 2 is reduced, and the user experience is improved; on the other hand, the machine body 1 is also provided with a drainage mechanism, namely, the machine body 1 can drain water by itself, so that dehumidification water flowing into the water tank 2 can be reduced, and the water pouring frequency of the water tank 2 is further reduced, meanwhile, a water pumping support which can movably (overturned or slid) and extends into the water tank 2 for drainage is not required to be arranged at the bottom of the machine body 1, and the movable water pumping support is complex in mechanism and easy to damage, and the machine body 1 needs to avoid the water pumping support to increase the size; in addition, since the body 1 itself can drain water, even if the water tank 2 is damaged or forgotten, only the body 1 can normally realize the dehumidifying function.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, further, the water tank 2 has a mounting opening facing upward. The body 1 has an idle state in which the body 1 is at least partially accommodated in the water tank 2 through the mounting opening and an operating state. In the working state, the body 1 extends out relative to the water tank 2 through the mounting opening. In this embodiment, when the body 1 is in the working state, the body 1 extends relative to the water tank 2, so that the bottom of the body 1 and the bottom of the water tank 2 are arranged at intervals, and therefore the dehumidification water flowing down from the overflow path can be discharged into the water tank 2; when the dehumidifying device in the machine body 1 finishes the dehumidifying operation and discharges or pours out the water in the water tank 2, at least part of the machine body 1 can be accommodated in the water tank 2, so that the machine body 1 is in an idle state.

In the embodiment, on one hand, when the body 1 is in an idle state, at least part of the body 1 can be accommodated in the water tank 2 through the mounting opening of the water tank 2, so that the gravity center of the dehumidifier can be lowered, the dehumidifier is stable to place and not prone to toppling over, the overall occupied space of the dehumidifier is reduced, and a user can place the dehumidifier conveniently; and when fuselage 1 was at operating condition, fuselage 1 stretches out relative water tank 2, can make the air outlet on the fuselage 11 have higher position to can discharge the air after the dehumidification to higher position, and then make the air after the dehumidification can spread whole indoor space more fast.

It can be understood that in the embodiment, the bottom of the main body 1 is not exposed outside the water tank 2, so the drainage position of the drainage mechanism is located at the side of the main body 1, and in the working state, the drainage position of the drainage mechanism is exposed outside the water tank 2, so that the dehumidification water discharged by the drainage mechanism can be discharged outside the dehumidifier. However, the design is not limited thereto, in other embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the body 1 may be slightly larger than the cross-sectional area of the water tank 2, so that the bottom of the body 1 can have a position exposed outside the water tank 2, in this case, the discharge position of the drainage mechanism may also be set at the position exposed outside the water tank 2 at the bottom of the body 1.

Referring to fig. 3 and 6, a drain hole 121 is provided on the bottom of the water tank 12. The side of the machine body 1 is provided with a water pump drainage level. The drainage mechanism comprises a drainage pump 131 arranged in the machine body 1, wherein the water inlet of the drainage pump 131 is communicated with the drainage hole 121, and the water outlet of the drainage pump 131 is communicated with the drainage position of the water pump. Without loss of generality, the water inlet of the drain pump 131 is usually connected to the drain hole 121 through a water inlet pipe 131a, and the water outlet of the drain pump 131 is usually connected to the water pump drain position through a water outlet pipe 131 b. The drainage mechanism of the present embodiment can provide drainage power by the drainage pump 131, and can conveniently and rapidly drain the dehumidified water in the water tank 12 out of the body 1.

In this embodiment, optionally, the drain pump 131 is located below the water tank 12 and adjacent to the drain hole 121 and the water pump drain level, so as to reduce the length of the water pipe between the drain pump 131 and the drain hole 121 and the water pump drain level, thereby reducing the product cost.

Referring to fig. 7 and 8 together, the water pump drain station includes a drain bracket 132 provided at a side portion of the body 1, and the drain bracket 132 includes an inner port 132a facing the inside of the body 1 and an outer port 132b facing the outside of the body 1. The outlet of the drain pump 131 communicates with the inner port 132a, and the outer port 132b is connected to a drain joint 133. It is understood that the drain connector 133 serves to connect external pipes. In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 131b of the drain pump 131 and the external pipeline can be attached by adding the drain bracket 132 and the drain connector 133, so that the water outlet pipe 131b of the drain pump 131 can be more conveniently communicated with the external pipeline. Alternatively, the drain connector 133 may be a quick connector to facilitate connection of external pipes. In addition, in order to ensure the sealing performance between the drain connector 133 and the outer connector 132b of the drain bracket 132 while the connection is achieved, the outer connector 132b of the drain bracket 132 is optionally screwed with the drain connector 133.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the drain mechanism further includes a water level switch 134 provided in the water tank 12, and the water level switch 134 is electrically connected to the drain pump 131. When the water level in the sump 12 reaches a preset water level height, the water level switch 134 is closed to enable the drain pump 131 to be started; thus, the empty pumping of the drainage pump 131 can be avoided, and the pumping frequency of the drainage pump 131 can be reduced. Alternatively, the water level switch 134 is a float-type water level switch 134; however, the design is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the water level switch 134 may also be a laser type water level switch 134, an ultrasonic type water level switch 134, or the like. It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, whether the drainage pump 131 is started or not is generally limited to the water level switch 134; normally, the main body 1 is also provided with a control button for controlling the start of the drainage pump 131, and the control button is usually higher in priority than the water level switch 134, i.e. the drainage pump 131 can be started only when the control button is pressed and the water level switch 134 is closed.

Further, the overflow passage comprises an overflow pipe 14 penetrating through the water tank 12 and penetrating through the bottom of the machine body 1, and an upper pipe opening of the overflow pipe 14 is higher than the preset water level; thus, when the drain pump 131 is turned on to draw water, the dehumidified water is prevented from overflowing from the overflow pipe 14 to the tank 2.

Further, the drainage mechanism further comprises a permanent drainage level provided at a side portion of the body 1, the permanent drainage level being communicated with the lowest position of the water tank 12 and not higher than the lowest position of the water tank 12, so that the dehumidification water in the water tank 12 can be completely drained out of the body 1 through the permanent drainage level. It is understood that, in the present embodiment, the drainage mechanism is further provided with a permanent drainage level capable of draining the water in the water tank 12 in a natural flow manner, so that the drainage can be performed through the permanent drainage level when the drainage pump 131 is not turned on for drainage; particularly, the permanent drainage position is used for draining without energy consumption, so that the use cost of the product is saved.

In this embodiment, optionally, the permanent drainage level is lower than the lowest position of the water tank 12; the bottom of the basin 12 is downwardly sunk at the lowest position with a permanent drain 122, and the permanent drain 122 extends downwardly to the permanent drain level. However, the design is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, another drainage hole may be formed at the lowest position of the bottom of the water tank 12, and is communicated with the permanent drainage position through a permanent drainage pipeline extending downward. It will be appreciated that the downward sloping extension of the permanent drain passage 122, or permanent drain line, facilitates the drainage of dehumidified water from the permanent drain level.

Further, the permanent drainage station includes a permanent drainage port 135 provided at a side portion of the body 1, and a cover 136 detachably connected to the permanent drainage port 135. It will be appreciated that the permanent drain interface 135 is used to connect external plumbing. In this embodiment, when a drainage condition is provided outside, for example, when an external pipe is already in place, the cover 136 is detachably opened to drain the dehumidified water in the water tank 12 out of the body 1 through the permanent drainage port 135; when the exterior has no drainage condition, the permanent drainage interface 135 can be blocked by the sealing cover 136, so as to prevent the dehumidified water in the water tank 12 from naturally flowing out to the ground from the permanent drainage interface 135 to affect the user experience. In this embodiment, when the cover 136 closes the permanent drain port 135 and the drain pump 131 is not opened to drain, the dehumidified water in the water tank 12 will gradually increase until the dehumidified water can flow into the water tank 2 through the overflow path.

In this embodiment, in order to ensure the sealing performance between the cover 136 and the permanent drainage port 135 while the cover 136 and the permanent drainage port 135 are connected, optionally, the cover 136 and the permanent drainage port 135 are screwed; thus, when the external pipe is provided with the external joint with the thread, the thread on the permanent drainage port 135 can be used to directly connect and seal the external joint with the permanent drainage port 135 in a threaded manner.

The above only is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, not limiting the scope of the present invention, all the equivalent structure changes made by the contents of the specification and the drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or the direct/indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
