Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an improvement in the structure of a dehumidifier with a cooling function.

<Prior Art> One type of dehumidifier has a cooling function. However, in the conventional dehumidifier with cooling function, as shown in Figs. It is cooled by the evaporator 5, and the moisture in the air is condensed to perform dehumidification. Dry cold air is fan 4b
The air is sent to the condenser 6 side, heated by the condenser 6, becomes room temperature air, and is sent out from the air outlet 7 to the outside of the main body. Water droplets condensed by the evaporator 5 are collected in a drainage container 8. The drainage container 8 is installed below the evaporator 5 and directly below the drainage tray 9,
The water can be taken out from the drainage container outlet 10 and the accumulated water can be thrown away. The electric motor 3 and the fan 4 are installed on the partition plate 11 so that the direction of air flow is horizontal.
In addition, the refrigerant used in the evaporator 5 and condenser 6 is expanded and heat-absorbed in the evaporator 5 by the compressor 12 installed at the inner bottom of the main body box 1, and is condensed and heat-radiated in the condenser 6. The compressor 12 is reached.
This is the so-called refrigeration cycle. Compressor 12
is installed in the lower part of the main body box 1. Furthermore, two openings 13a, 13 are provided in the upper top plate 13 of the main body box 1.
b, and an opening/closing plate 14 and an insertion plate 15 are attached to them, respectively. The opening/closing plate 14 has one end rotatably fixed to the periphery of the opening 13a by a hinge or the like, and can perform opening/closing operations like a door. The insertion plate 15 has the opening 13
It is slidably attached and detached so as to cover the area b. During dehumidification, the openings 13a and 13b are closed by the opening/closing plate 14 and the insertion plate 15, respectively, and the air sucked into the machine from the suction port 2 passes through the evaporator 5, the fans 4a and 4b, and the condenser 6. It is adapted to be sent out from the air outlet 7. Next, when performing dehumidification and cooling at the same time, the opening/closing plate 14 is opened, and the insertion plate 15 is removed from the opening 13b of the top plate 13, so as to close the gap 11a between the electric motor 3 on the partition plate 11 and the top plate 13. Partition plate 11 and top plate 13
Insert/attach between. As a result, the air taken in through the suction port 2 is cooled through the evaporator 5 and becomes cold, dry air, which is then transferred to the main body box.
The fan 4 exits the machine from the opening 13a of the upper top plate 13.
Sent by a. Also, air from outside the machine flows in through the opening 13b from which the insertion plate 15 has been removed by the fan 4b, cools the condenser 6, and is sent out from the air outlet 7 to the outside of the machine.

With the above configuration, when dehumidifying only, the air after dehumidification is sent out in only one direction, so care must be taken not to block the air outlet during installation, and the indoor air In order to increase circulation efficiency, it was necessary to consider the interior layout and the location of the dehumidifier. Furthermore, switching between dehumidifying only and dehumidifying and cooling at the same time requires opening the opening/closing plate 14 or changing the installation position of the insertion plate 15, making the operation somewhat difficult. In addition, since the openings 13a and 13b are provided on the outer surface of the upper top plate 13 of the main body box 1, the openings 13a and 13b are unsightly, and dust and dirt can easily enter, which has been a problem.

<Purpose of the invention> The present invention focuses on the above-mentioned shortcomings and aims to improve these various problems.

<Structure of the invention> The dehumidifier of the invention has openings on four sides of the main body box, the openings at the upper part of a pair of opposing sides serve as suction ports, and an evaporator and a condenser are arranged inside each of the suction ports, The opening on the other opposing side is used as the air outlet, the upper part of the main body box is divided at the center by a partition plate, the motor and fan are attached to the partition plate so as to be parallel to the air outlet, and the air outlet is connected to the casing. Once fixed as a dual-purpose device, it is rotatable so that the direction of the blowing air can be changed.

<Embodiment> An embodiment of the dehumidifier of the present invention is shown in FIGS. 3 to 6. As shown in FIG. 3, suction ports 2a, 2b and outlet ports 7a, 7b are provided on the four sides of the main box 1, respectively, and as shown in FIG. A refrigeration cycle consisting of a condenser, compressor, etc., and a drainage container are installed. In addition, FIG. 4 shows the installation state of the partition plate 11, electric motor 3, and fans 4a, 4b, which are the gist of the dehumidifier of the present invention.
This will be explained with reference to FIG. The partition plate 11 is the evaporator 5
It is attached with a Z-shaped cross section so as to partition the upper part of the main body box into the side and the condenser 6 side, and one end is attached to the notch hole near both ends of the partition plate 11 with a hinge or the like. An opening/closing plate 14a fixed to the hole edge,
14b is attached to a surface parallel to the suction ports 2a, 2b to open and close the notch holes. or,
An electric motor 3 and fans 4a, 4b are installed on a plane parallel to the air outlets 7a, 7b, and the fans 4a, 4b are fitted into the air outlets 7a, 7b, which also serve as casings, with a slight gap. . The rear portions of the air outlets 7a and 7b form ducts within the main body box, and wind direction plates 18a and 18b are provided at the mouth ends so that the air blowing direction can be changed. Furthermore,
Figures 7a and 7b show embodiments of the air outlet 7 that also serves as a casing.
