Abstract

PURPOSE:To eliminate a dripping noise of water drops by providing a penetration hole, through which condensed water flow down, on a float in a drain tank in which condensed dehumidified-water is stored. CONSTITUTION:Dehumidified-water condensed by an evaporator 1 falls down from a drain port 15 of a water receiver 14, passes through a penetration hole 'a' provided on a float 2, flows down along the internal wall of a drain tank 3 and is stored in the drain tank 3. When condensed water stored in the drain tank 3 increases, the tip of the float 2 is released from a micro-switch 13, and the operation of a dehumidifier is stopped.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a float for a dehumidifier.

Conventional technology Conventionally, the float structure of this type of dehumidifier was such that dehumidified water condensed in one generator 1 flows down a float 2 and collects in a drainage tank 3, as shown in Fig. 5. .

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional float structure, when dehumidified water passes through the float 2 and drips into the drainage tank 3, a "pop" occurs.
``Dehumidifiers that are operated continuously during the day have the disadvantage of producing a clicking sound, which can cause discomfort to the user, especially when sleeping.

Further, dehumidified water accumulated on the float 2, making the operation of the float 2 unstable.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and aims to eliminate the unpleasant popping sound that occurs when dehumidified water drips into a drainage tank, and to prevent dehumidified water from accumulating on the float 2. There is.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a float with a through hole through which dehumidified water flows down into a drainage tank.

Function The present invention provides the above-mentioned through-hole in the float, so that when dehumidified water falls into the drainage tank, the dehumidified water runs down the inner wall of the drainage tank through the through-hole.

Further, dehumidified water does not accumulate on the float, and the float operates normally.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

The dehumidifier main body A is composed of an intake grill 4, an outer box 5, and an outlet grill 6 made of synthetic resin, and inside there are a compressor 7, a condenser 8, and a capillary tube 9 that constitute a refrigeration cycle.
, an evaporator l, a fan morph 10 and a fan 11. Then, air is sucked in from the front side of the intake grille 4 by the fan 11, passes through the blower l, the condenser 8, and is blown out from the outlet grille 6.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a board, which is screwed to the lower part of the suction grill 4 and the outer box 5, and has a structure to support the compressor 7 and the drainage tank 3.

A float 2 is provided in the drainage tank 3. The tip of the float 2 is in contact with a microswitch 13, which controls the operation of the dehumidifier as is well known.

The dehumidified water condensed by the stem generator 1 accumulates in the water tray 14, passes through the through hole a provided in the float 2 from the drain port 15 of the water tray 14, runs down the inner wall of the drainage tank 3, and accumulates in the drainage tank 3. . When the amount of dehumidified water accumulated in the drain tank 3 increases, the tip of the float 2 moves to the micro switch 1.
3, the dehumidifier stops operating.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, by providing the through hole in the float through which dehumidified water flows, the dehumidified water flows down the inner wall of the drainage tank from the through hole of the float, so that the dehumidified water flows down the inner wall of the drainage tank. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of a jarring sound such as a "pochano" when dehumidified water is dripped, and the discomfort to the user can be reduced.

Further, since the dehumidified water flows down through the through hole provided in the float, the dehumidified water does not accumulate on the float, and the operation of the float is stabilized.
