Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a dehumidifier, and aims to reduce the size of the main body and to enable movement after installation.

In conventional dehumidifiers for industrial and domestic use, both the inlet for the air to be dehumidified and the outlet for the air after dehumidification are oriented in a fixed direction. (See FIG. 3) Therefore, it is difficult to determine the installation location and move after installation, and the rooms and locations in which it can be used are limited. In particular, it cannot be installed where there are obstacles facing and close to the air outlet and suction port.

In view of this, the present invention allows the main body to be made smaller by having the suction port on the entire circumference of the main body, without limiting the suction direction, and by directing the air after dehumidification upwards, where there are generally no or few obstacles. It is designed to be flexible, movable, and not limited in installation location, direction, etc.

The present invention will be explained below based on the illustrated embodiments.

In the figure, 1 is a drain pan that is to be formed into a dehumidifier with a planar shape such as circular or polygonal, and a compressor 2 is installed in the upper center of this drain pan 1, and a condenser 3 is installed around the outer periphery of this compressor. Form and install according to the shape of the drain pan. An evaporator 4 is provided on the outer periphery of the condenser 3 adjacent to it or with a required gap therebetween. That is, the condenser 3 and the evaporator 4 are arranged so as to have an inner and outer double structure, and a space excluding both the condenser and the evaporator is formed on one outer peripheral side, and an operation switch box 6 is installed in this space 5. shall be established. Then, an electric motor 7 is provided on the cylindrical upper part of the condenser and evaporator, which are dual-internal and external types, via a stay or the like, and a fan 8 is fixed to the electric motor.

An intake grill 9 is attached to the outer periphery of the evaporator 4 so as to surround and protect the evaporator, and a top plate 10 is fixed to the top surface of the intake grill 9. The center of the top plate is opened, and an exhaust grill 11 is provided rotatably so that the exhaust direction can be changed as desired.

A drain tank 12 is located at the bottom of the drain pan 1 above.
If the drain tank 12 is provided so as to be freely attachable and detachable, and a device is provided in the drain tank 12 to notify that it has reached a predetermined capacity, that is, it is full of water, it is possible to prevent the drain from overflowing. An example of this is shown in FIG. 4, but other methods can also be adopted. In the figure, a float 13 is installed in the drain tank, and the float 13 is moved to the full water detection position.
When the float rises, a push piece 14 provided on the float operates a limit switch 15 provided on the drain tank to stop the compressor. When the drain tank is full, it can be drained by removing it from the dehumidifier.

According to the present invention, the evaporator is formed on the outside and the condenser is formed in a double cylinder shape, so that the air to be dehumidified can be sucked from the outer circumferential surface of the dehumidifier, and the air to be dehumidified can be sucked from the top surface. Since the dehumidified air is discharged through the exhaust grill, there are no restrictions on the installation location or orientation, and the advantages include that it can be easily moved after installation and the exhaust direction can be changed at will. has.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A drain tank is installed at the bottom of the drain pan so that it can be attached and detached, and a compressor is installed at the center of the top of the drain pan, and the evaporator is placed outside so as to surround the compressor so that air can be sucked in from the entire outer circumferential surface. This dehumidifier has a condenser arranged in a double-cylindrical shape inside, a fan installed at the center top of the condenser, and an exhaust grill rotatable at the top so that the exhaust direction can be changed arbitrarily.
