Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a dehumidifier, and particularly to its structure.

Figures 1 and 2 show the structure of a conventional dehumidifier. It is shown in Figure 3.

1 is the outer casing of the dehumidifier, 2 is the evaporator, 3 is the condenser, 4
is a compressor, and these three form a refrigeration cycle, and the evaporator 3 is cooled below the dew point of the surrounding air.

4 is an electric motor for the blower, and 5 is a blower that forcibly circulates the surrounding air as shown by the arrow.

6 is a dehumidified water receiver, 7 is a pedestal, 8 is a support spring, 9 is a fixture, and the 7.1 part of the pedestal 7 is the leg portion 9°1 of the fixture 9.
, and the pedestal 7 freely rotates around the iron part.

Further, one end of the support spring 8 is attached to the rear of the pedestal 7 and the other end is attached to a fixture 9 to control the rotational movement of the pedestal 7.

10 is a lever, and 10 and 1 part of the lever 10 are the fixtures 9.
It is inserted into the section 9.2 of the section 9.2 and is attached so as to rotate around the section 10.1.

11 is a spring, one end of which is the end of the lever 10 and the other end of which is the fixture 9.
It is attached to part 9.3 of.

12 is a limit switch, and when the 12.1 part is pushed by the lever 10, the internal contact mechanism opens and closes electrically.
Stop the operation of the dehumidifier.

These 6 to 12 parts are made into a unit, and the partition plate 13
It is attached to the bottom of the unit and forms a dehumidifying water treatment mechanism.

The partition plate 13 is divided into an upper part into a ventilation room and a lower part into a machine room, and the upper surface of this partition plate is provided with a recess for collecting dehumidified water. The structure is such that it leads to

To explain the operation 9 of the dehumidifier in such a configuration, the surrounding air sucked in by the blower 5 is cooled to below the dew point in the evaporator 2, and the moisture contained in the air is removed by the evaporator 2. Dew condenses on the surface, dries, is heated in the condenser 3, and is discharged outside the dehumidifier.

The dehumidified moisture collects in the recess at the top of the partition 13 and drips into the water receiver 6 using an appropriate method. The weight of the receiver 6 overcomes the tensile force of the support spring 8 and falls.

At this time, the end of the lever 10 is detached from the back surface of the water receiver 6, and the tensile force of the spring 11 pushes the protrusion 12.1 of the limit switch 12, causing an electrical open circuit in the limit switch 12 and dehumidifying the water. stop the movement of

(The broken lines of the water receiver 6, pedestal 7, and lever 10 in FIG. 2 indicate their respective positional relationships when the dehumidified water reaches the specified amount.

) When the dehumidified water in the water receiver 6 is discharged by an appropriate method, the water receiver 6 becomes lightweight, the various parts are in the positional relationship as shown by the solid line in Figure 2, and the dehumidifier can no longer be operated. resume.

Such conventional dehumidifiers have serious deficiencies as described below.

That is, the pedestal 7 is attached to the fixture 9. Because of the structure in which the fixture 9 is fixed to the partition plate 13 after the lever 10, limit switch 12, etc. are arranged, the shape of the partition plate 13 is complicated.

The fixture 9 also has legs 9.1. Lever mounting part 9.2. '
J It required a significantly complicated shape, including a switch mounting part 9.3 and a lever penetration part.

This invention was made to improve this defect.
By integrally molding the pins that hold the leg support springs that attach the pedestals to the bottom of the partition plate and the protrusions that attach the levers, or by fixing them (for example, by gluing) using an appropriate method, it is possible to process dehumidified water. The purpose is to easily form a mechanism.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 20 includes a recessed portion on the upper surface for collecting dehumidified water, and leg portions 20.1. This is a partition plate having a pin portion 20.2 for attaching a support spring 22 and a protrusion 20.3 for attaching a lever 23.

The pedestal 21 is similar to the conventional example, and the legs 20 of the partition plate 20
．． It is arranged so as to be freely rotatable around the 21.1 part attached to 1.

Furthermore, a notch is provided in the center of the portion 212 that connects both legs of the U-shaped pedestal 21, and the pin portion 20.2 is passed through it, and the tightening member 23 is fixed via the support spring 22. The downward rotation of the pedestal 21 is controlled.

The present invention and operation 5 of this structure will be explained with reference to FIG. 4. The water receiver 24 is housed along the pedestal 21 from the right side of the figure.

At this time, dehumidified water has not yet dripped into the water receiver 24 and it is lightweight, so the receiver 21. Water receptor 24. The lever 25 is in a positional relationship as shown by the solid line, and the dehumidifier performs a dehumidifying operation.

As the dehumidification operation continues and dehumidified water drips into the water receiver 24 and increases its weight, the support spring 22 is compressed and the water receiver 24 is gradually displaced in the direction of the broken line, and eventually the lever 25 deviates from the back side of the water receiver 24, pushes the protrusion of the limit switch 26, opens the internal electric circuit, and stops the operation of the dehumidifier.

If the dehumidified water in the water receiver 24 is drained by an appropriate method, the weight becomes lighter and when it is stored in the pedestal 21, the various parts are in the positional relationship as shown by the solid line in FIG. Repeat this type of driving.

As described in detail above, the present invention converts the upper surface of the partition plate that separates the machine room that houses the compressor and water receiver from the ventilation chamber that houses the evaporator and condenser into a dehumidifying water receiver. By attaching the water receiver directly and removably, the shape of the partition plate can be simplified, and the special fixtures equipped with the cradle, lever, limit switch, etc. described in the conventional example are no longer required, making assembly easier. This significantly improves work efficiency.
