Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a dehumidifier that collects dehumidified water dripping from an evaporator in a tank.

The purpose of this invention is to make the tank that collects dehumidified water transparent, and to install an opening window with a transparent door on the front part of the main body facing the transparent tank, so that the dehumidification inside the transparent tank can be carried out. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dehumidifier that allows the amount of water to be easily checked from the outside and that can prevent the intrusion of dust and the like.

Hereinafter, this invention will be explained based on one embodiment shown in the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is a dehumidifier main body, which is composed of a bottom plate 2, a cabinet 3 forming both side and rear sides, a ceiling panel 4, and a front panel 5.

A support frame 6 is erected on a bottom plate 2 in the main body 1, a compressor 7 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 6, and an evaporator 8 and a condenser 9 are provided at the top.
are installed facing each other.

Further, a tank support plate 10 is attached to the lower part of the evaporator 8, and a tank storage chamber 11 is formed in the upper part of the tank support plate 10.

As shown in FIG. 2, a transparent tank 12 integrally molded from a transparent synthetic resin material such as polypropylene is removably housed in the tank storage chamber 11.

A handle portion 13 is integrally provided at the front of the transparent tank 12, and a receiving port 14 is bored at the top to receive the dehumidified water dripping from the evaporator 8 and lead it into the transparent tank 12. ing.

On the other hand, the ceiling panel 4 is provided with an air outlet 15, and the front panel 5 is provided with an inlet 16 facing the evaporator 8.

Further, the tank storage chamber 11 is located below the suction port 16.
An opening window 17 of substantially the same shape is formed opposite to the opening window 17, and a transparent door 19 which has a hinge 18 at the lower part and can be opened and closed is attached to the opening window 17.

That is, the transparent door 19 is molded from a transparent synthetic resin material such as polypropylene, and allows the transparent tank 12 inside the main body 1 to be seen through from the outside.

Thus, the dehumidified water adhering to the evaporator 8 during the dehumidifying operation drips and is collected in the transparent tank 12 through the receiving port 14 of the transparent tank 12.

The amount of dehumidified water collected in this transparent tank 12 is determined by the transparent door 1
9 can be seen from the outside.

Therefore, when the amount of dehumidified water in the transparent tank 12 becomes full, the transparent door 19 can be opened, the transparent tank 12 can be taken out, and the dehumidified water can be drained, eliminating the trouble of removing the front panel 5 each time. This eliminates the need for additional work.

As explained above, this idea collects dehumidified water in a transparent tank, and also provides an opening window with a transparent door on the front of the main unit, so that the amount of dehumidified water in the transparent tank can be seen through from the outside. Therefore, the amount of dehumidified water can be checked at a glance during dehumidification operation, which is very convenient.

However, since the open window is closed by the transparent door, there is no intrusion of dust, etc., and it is possible to prevent loss of dehumidifying properties due to air being blown out from the open window without going through the heat exchanger.
