Description

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

Figure 1 shows the main structure of a typical conventional dehumidifier.

1 and 2 are the outer casing, 3 is the top plate, and the three are combined to form a box body.
A refrigeration cycle 4, which will be described later, is installed and housed inside.

2.1.3.1 of the outer casing 2 and the upper plate 3 are air circulation ports, and when the box body is assembled, 2.1 is an air intake port, and 3.1 is an air discharge port.

2.2 shows the cover of the outlet for taking in and out the tank that collects dehumidified water.

4 refers to the refrigeration cycle, base 4.1. Compressor 4.2
, evaporator, condenser 4.3, connecting pipe, 4.4.4.5
Consists of.

One end of each of the connecting pipes 4.4.4.5 is welded to the compressor 4.2 and the other end to the evaporator condenser 4.3, forming a refrigeration cycle 4.

5 is a fan mouth ring, 6 is a blower, and 7 is a dew pan that condenses moisture contained in the indoor air forcedly circulated by the blower 6 on the surface of the evaporator condenser 4.3, and drips dehumidified water. is collected and led to a tank (not shown).

8 is a tank stand for storing the tank.

To explain the assembly work of a conventional dehumidifier having such a structure step by step, the component to be assembled in the conventional dehumidifier is the outer casing 1, and the compressor 4 assembled into the base 4.1 is first assembled into the outer casing 1. .2 is installed.

Next, after fixing the evaporator condenser 4.3, fan mouth ring 5, and blower 6 to the dew pan 7 with screws, etc., place the dew pan 7 on top of the protrusion 1.2 of the outer casing 1, and tighten the screws. Secure with a fastening member such as.

Further, a tank stand 8 is attached to the dew pan 7.

Thereafter, the compressor 4.2, the evaporator condenser, 4.
Connecting pipe 4.4.4 with 3 etc. attached to outer casing 1.
．． 5 are welded and fixed as described above, and the compressor 4.2, blower 6, and other electrical parts (for example, an operation stop switch,
Perform the electrical connection work for the operation indicator lamp, temperature fuse, etc.) and check the operation operation, and finally attach the upper plate 3 to the outer casing 1.
to complete the assembly work of the dehumidifier.

Conventional dehumidifiers with such a structure have serious deficiencies in terms of assembly work and product cost, as described below.

In other words, as mentioned above, relatively small products such as dehumidifiers do not use laborers during assembly work, but instead attach the assembled parts to the assembled parts in order, and the assembled parts are also used as laborers. However, in the conventional structure, the outer casing 1, which is the member to be assembled, has a substantially U-shape and the opening is mostly limited to the front surface, so the connecting pipe 4.4
．． 4.5, the welding work, the installation of the tank stand 8, and the electrical connection of the electrical parts were extremely difficult, and the shapes of the outer casings 1 and 2 were extremely difficult to assemble.

As a solution to this problem, an attempt is made to reduce the depth of the outer casings 1 and 2 and make most of the members assembled in the outer casing 1 protrude outside of the outer casing 1, but this results in a decrease in the strength of the outer casing 1 and a decrease in the strength of the outer casing 1. Attempts are made to reduce the risk of inversion during assembly work, and to facilitate assembly work by opening the back of the outer casing 1, but this also results in the aforementioned strength reduction, which is extremely difficult to achieve within an allowable range. It is only adopted with restrictions.

This invention was made to improve these drawbacks,
The outer casing of the dehumidifier is made into a roughly cylindrical shape, with ventilation grilles on the top and one side of both sides, and openings on the front and back.The compressor, evaporator condenser, blower, etc. are built into the interior, and then the dehumidifier is shaped like a roughly flat plate. The opening is closed by a front plate and a back plate.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to the embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 11 denotes an outer casing including a base portion 11.1, a partition plate portion 11.2, and an upper plate portion 11.
．． 3 and side parts 11, 4, 11, 5, which are integrally molded (for example, made of synthetic resin), and the front and back sides of the outer casing 11 are open.

Moreover, the upper plate part 11.3 and the side part 11.4 of the outer casing 11.
A ventilation grille is provided on the integrally molded half of the road section of 11.5.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a shielding plate, which blocks the ventilation grille on the side surface 11.5 of the outer casing 11 or the ventilation grille on the top plate 11.3, which corresponds to the ventilation outlet, from the outside, making it possible to select and set the ventilation outlet. do.

Reference numeral 13 denotes an operation panel section, which includes electrical parts for operation control (
An operation stop switch, operation indicator lamp, push button, etc. (not shown) are provided.

Therefore, when the shielding plate 12 is arranged to block the ventilation grill on the upper plate part 11.3 of the outer casing 11, the operation panel part 1
3. Prevent dust etc. from falling into the room.

14 is a front plate, 15 is a back plate, both of which are approximately flat plate-shaped, and the outer casing 11
Attach to the openings on the front and back of and close the iron part.

16 is a compressor, 17 is an evaporator condenser, and a refrigeration cycle is formed together with the compressor 16 by welding a connecting pipe (not shown) as in the conventional example.

18 is a half piece of the fan mouth ring and is 11.6 of the outer casing 11.
The tip is placed in contact with the top of the fan mouth ring, and it functions as a fan mouth ring.

19 is a blower.

In this configuration, the dehumidifier of the present invention has the above-mentioned parts except the front plate 14 and the back plate 15 assembled into the outer casing 11 from the front opening of the outer casing 11, and the parts can also be assembled from the back opening. work is sometimes possible, and the opening is located outside the outer casing 11.
can be installed over the entire width of the outer casing 11.
Because there is no danger of it falling over compared to conventional outer casings,
Assembly work can be performed much more efficiently than in the conventional example.

Furthermore, the weight of the parts of the outer casing 11 itself is reduced by 1 on both sides.
1, 4, 11.5 (during assembly), and both side surfaces 11.4.11.5 are integrated with the pace part 11.1, the partition plate 11.2, and the upper plate part 11.3. The housing 11 is molded to have a superior strength compared to the conventional example, so even if ventilation grilles are provided on each of the three sides of the outer casing 11, it will not become an obstacle to holding the parts.

Furthermore, the above-mentioned shielding plate 12 allows the ventilation outlet to be arbitrarily selected and set, so the restrictions on the installation location of the dehumidifier itself can be relaxed, and the ventilation circulation path can be maintained even if there are furniture and furnishings in the surrounding area. Even in spaces where conditions are not necessarily adequate, the dehumidifier can be placed without degrading its original functions.

As detailed above, the present invention provides ventilation grilles integrally formed on both sides and the top of the outer casing, closes the front opening and rear opening of the outer casing with a front plate and a back plate, and further includes a shielding plate. By selectively shielding the ventilation grilles, the assembly work of the dehumidifier can be reduced and the product cost can be reduced, and the restrictions on the installation location of the dehumidifier itself can be alleviated, which has great practical effects.
