Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic dehumidifier for dehumidifying an electronic cooling element utilizing the Peltier effect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional electronic dehumidifier has a structure shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 is a tank having an inflow port 2 formed in the center of the upper surface, 3 is a case composed of front and rear case bodies 4 mounted on the upper part of the tank 1, and 5 is formed on the upper part of the case 3. The holding portion 6 is a holding portion formed on the outside of the holding portion 5, and is used by holding when moving the device.

Reference numeral 7 denotes an electronic dehumidifier having an upper part fitted into the holding portion 5 and housed in the case 3, and an electronic cooling element, a cooling fin, a radiation fin, and a water receiver for dehumidified water are housed in a box. There is. Reference numeral 8 denotes a drain hose that is introduced into the central portion of the lower surface of the electronic dehumidifier 7 and is connected to a water receiver, and introduces the dehumidified water of the electronic dehumidifier 7 into the tank 1. A drain pipe 9 has one end connected to the right upper surface of the tank 1 and the other end opens to the right surface of the case body 4.

[0004]

In the case of the above-mentioned conventional apparatus, the drain hose 8 is used to drain the dehumidified water of the electronic dehumidifier 7.
Since it uses, it becomes impossible to drain water due to clogging,
There is a problem that the drainage efficiency decreases and the number of parts increases. An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic dehumidifying device which can eliminate the drainage hose, improve drainage efficiency, and reduce the number of parts while keeping the above points in mind.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an electronic dehumidifying device of the present invention comprises a tank having an inflow port formed in a central portion of an upper surface, and a tank extending upward from a peripheral portion of the inflow port through a neck portion. And a funnel-shaped water receiving part formed integrally with the case, and a case composed of front and rear case bodies placed on the tank,
Recesses formed on the bottom plates of both case bodies, the peripheral surfaces of which are in contact with the neck, the cooling fins housed in the case and located above the electronic cooling element, water receiver, and heat dissipation located above the cooling fins. And an electronic dehumidifier including fins.

[0006]

In the electronic dehumidifier of the present invention having the above-described structure, the funnel-shaped water receiving portion is formed integrally with the tank via the neck portion upward from the peripheral portion of the inflow port on the upper surface of the tank. Since the bottom plate of the front and rear case bodies is formed with a recess that contacts the neck, and the cooling fins of the electronic dehumidifier are located above the water receiving part, the dehumidifying water of the electronic dehumidifier is stored in the tank by the water receiving part. It will be introduced into the plant and will not be clogged, improving drainage efficiency and reducing the number of parts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In these figures, the same reference numerals as those in FIG. 5 indicate the same or corresponding ones.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a funnel-shaped water receiving portion, which is a tank 1.
It is formed integrally with the tank 1 from the peripheral portion of the inflow port 2 at the central portion of the upper surface of the above through the neck 11. Reference numeral 12 is a guide rod penetrating the top plate of the tank 1, and 13 is a float provided on the guide rod 12 in the tank 1 so as to be vertically movable,
As the water level in the tank 1 rises, the float 13 moves upward, and at a predetermined water level, the reed switch in the guide rod 12 is turned on by the magnet on the inner surface of the float 13 to output a detection signal.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a relay provided on the left side of the guide rod 12, which is activated by the detection signal, the switch of the energizing circuit of the electronic dehumidifier described later is turned off, the energization is interrupted, and the buzzer or the like is turned off. It activates and reports full water. Reference numeral 15 is a power supply connection terminal provided on the left side of the relay 14.

Reference numeral 16 denotes a recess formed in each of the bottom plates of both case bodies 4, the peripheral surface of which is in contact with the neck 11.
Reference numeral 17 denotes an electronic dehumidifying support provided on the upper side and lower side of the central portion of both case elements 4, 18 is a positioning body provided between both electronic dehumidifier supports 17, and 19 is both case elements. Supports for fans, which are respectively provided on the upper part of the body 4,
Reference numeral 0 is an electronic cooling element, 21 is a cooling fin located above the water receiving portion 10, and a plurality of cooling plates 23 are radially integrally formed on the lower surface of a square plate-shaped base 22. It is attached to the cooling surface of the lower surface of the element 20 by the attachment hole 24 of the attachment piece.

Reference numeral 25 denotes a heat radiation fin located above the cooling fin 21. A plurality of heat radiation plates 27 are radially integrally formed on the peripheral surface of a cylindrical base body 26, and mounting holes on both sides of the lower surface of the base body 26 are provided. The heat radiating surface of the upper surface of the element 20 is mounted by 28, the central portion of the heat radiating plate 27 is positioned by the positioning body 18, and the upper and lower ends of the heat radiating plate 27 are supported by the electronic dehumidifier support 1.
It is supported by 7. 29 is the element 20 and the cooling fin 2
1, an electronic dehumidifier composed of the radiation fins 25, and a fan 30 located above the radiation fins 25, which is supported by the fan support 19.

By energizing the element 20, the cooling fin 21 is cooled and the heat radiation fin 25 is heated.
The humid air is cooled by the cooling fins 21, water is condensed,
The dehumidified water is introduced into the inflow port 2 by the water receiving section 10,
It is stored in the tank 1.

On the other hand, the air from which moisture has been removed becomes dry air, is warmed by the radiation fins 25, is exhausted by the fan 30, and is dehumidified by the above. Since the cooling plate 23 of the cooling fin 21 and the heat radiation plate 27 of the heat radiation fin 25 are radially formed, the dehumidification efficiency is improved.

[0014]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects. The electronic dehumidifier of the present invention forms a funnel-shaped water receiving portion 10 integrally with the tank 1 through the neck portion 11 from the peripheral portion of the inflow port 2 on the upper surface of the tank 1, and forms the front and rear of the case 3. Since the bottom plate of the case body 4 is formed with the concave portion 16 that comes into contact with the neck portion 11 so that the cooling fins 21 of the electronic dehumidifier 29 are located above the water receiving portion 10, the dehumidified water of the electronic dehumidifier 29 receives the water. Since it is introduced into the tank 1 by the portion 10, it is possible to improve the drainage efficiency without clogging and reduce the number of parts.
