Next, the operation in the above configuration will be described.

First, when the power switch 44 of the operation part 41 is pressed, the 1st wind direction change body 9 will rotate, and the exhaust port 7 will be in an open state from the closed state. Then, the motor 26 is driven to rotate the sirocco fan 27, and indoor air is sucked into the main body 1 from the intake port 5 via the filter 6, and dust is caused by the filter 6. After is removed, the evaporator 24 is contacted to cool and dehumidify. The cold air after dehumidification is heated by the condenser 24 and passes through the blower 28 to become warm air. The dehumidified warm air is sent to the exhaust port 7, and the wind direction is changed by the first wind direction changing body 9 and the second wind direction changing body 18 and discharged into the room. As a result, moisture in the indoor air is removed, and when the discharged air is brought into contact with the laundry, it can be dried in a short time.

Moreover, according to the position of the 2nd wind direction changing body 18 and the 1st wind direction changing body 9 by the mode changeover switch 45, it spreads over the wide range from the front side downward of the main body 1 to the rear inclination upward. The dehumidified air can be discharged.

Then, as it passes through the evaporator 24, the water removed by the indoor air flows through the drain hole 22 to the drain tank 33, when the water level rises, the float 35 is the shaft hole (A, Rotate upward with B) as the support point. When the water level rises until the float 35 is in the horizontal position, the magnet 36 moves away from the boundary plate 21, so that the sensor (not shown) which detects the magnetic field of the magnet 36 does not detect the magnetic field. At this time, it is determined that the drainage tank 33 is in full water, and the water supply lamp 42 provided in the operation unit 41 is turned on to stop the operation of the main body 1 and inform the user. .

The user sees the lighting of the full water lamp 42 and separates the drainage tank 33 from the main body 1. When holding the gripper 40 by hand, the tank 33 is inclined to discharge water, and when the drain tank 33 is mounted in the main body 1 again, the float 35 is in a downward state, and thus the magnet 36 ) Is close to the sensor, the sensor detects the magnetic field of the magnet 36, determines that the water level has been eliminated, and the dehumidification operation is started again.

However, when water is accumulated in the drain tank 33, for example, when a person accidentally hits the main body 1, or when the drain tank 33 is removed from the main body 1 with a large force, the water surface may shake. As shown in the drawing, water may infiltrate from the upper surface opening of the float 35. When the water enters, the float 35 is submerged, so that the water full state of the drainage tank 33 cannot be detected accurately, so the user needs to discharge the invasive water.

When the water is drained, the user separates the drain tank 33 from the main body 1, holds the grip portion 41 by hand, and tilts the drain tank 33 until the slope is gentle. 35 rotates in a state of equilibrium with the axial holes A and B at the position of the horizontal plane, but when the inclination becomes steep, the extension portion 38 abuts against the contact portion 39, as shown in FIG. The float 35 can no longer rotate, and the float 35 balanced in the horizontal plane is released and inclined with the drain tank 33. Therefore, when water is discharged from the upper surface opening of the float 35 and the drainage tank 33 is inclined until it is in the lateral direction, as shown in FIG. 8, the upper surface opening of the float 35 also has the horizontal direction. Thus, the infiltrated water can be completely discharged.

In this embodiment, one rotating shaft of the float is inserted into the shaft hole of the drain tank, and the other rotating shaft is inserted into the shaft hole of the retaining plate to support the shaft. However, two shaft holes are formed in the drain tank without installing the retaining plate. The rotary shafts at both ends may be inserted into this shaft hole.

As described above, the rotary shafts 35a and 35b of the float 35 in the upper surface opening are inserted into the shaft holes A and B, and an extension portion 38 extending from the rotary shaft 35b is formed. At the same time, since the contact portion 39 is formed near the shaft hole B, for example, when a person accidentally hits the main body 1, when the drain tank 33 is removed from the main body 1 with a large force, or the like. When the water is shaken and water intrudes from the upper opening of the flute 35, the drain tank 33 is separated from the main body 1 to discharge the intruded water, and the drain tank 33 ), The float 35 rotates the shaft holes A and B to a point so that the extension portion 38 contacts the contact portion 39, so that the float 35 rotates further. You will not be able to. Therefore, since the float 35 which has been balanced in the horizontal plane is inclined together with the drain tank 33 because the equilibrium state is released, the user can simply tilt the drain tank 33 to the float 35. Invasive water can be discharged, and the convenience of use can be improved.

Moreover, since the said extended part 38 abuts the said contact part 39, when the said float 35 is rotated to the position over a horizontal plane, the said float 35 rotates to the position of a horizontal plane of the said drainage. Since the tank 33 can be set to the full water level, the extension part 38 abuts against the contact part 39 until the float 35 is at a position lower than the horizontal plane, that is, the full water level. It is possible to store a lot of dehumidifying water in the drain tank 33 without restricting the rotation of h).

In addition, by forming the gripping portion 40 in the drain tank 33, the gripping portion 40 is formed at a position relative to the float 35 by sandwiching the shaft holes (A, B), the user When the gripper 40 is held by the hand and the drainage tank 33 is tilted, the float 35 rotates the shaft holes A and B to the point, and the extension 38 is simply the contact portion. There is an effect of being able to touch (39).

As shown in FIG. 9, when the float 35 rotates to a position exceeding a horizontal plane, the contact portion 46 causes the drain tank. In contact with the inner wall surface of (33), the subsequent rotation is regulated.

With the above configuration, when discharging the water penetrating from the upper surface opening of the float 35, the user detaches the drainage tank 33 from the main body 1, grasps the holding part 40 by hand, and the drainage tank ( 33, the float 35 is rotated in a state of equilibrium in the horizontal plane with the shaft holes A and B as a supporting point until the slope is gentle, but when the inclination becomes sharp, the contact portion 46 becomes the drain tank ( As shown in FIG. 11, the float 35 can no longer rotate, and the equilibrium state of the float 35 balanced in the horizontal plane is released, so that the float 35 and the drain tank 33 Tilted together Accordingly, when water is discharged from the upper surface opening of the float 35 and the drainage tank 33 is tilted in the lateral direction, as shown in FIG. 12, the upper surface opening of the float 35 also has a horizontal direction. Thus, the intruded water can be completely discharged.

As mentioned above, since the rotating shaft 35a, 35b of the said float 35 of the upper surface opening was inserted in the said axial hole A, B, and the said contact part 46 was formed below the float 35, for example, When a person hits the main body 1 by mistake, when the drain tank 33 is removed from the main body 1 with a large force, or the like, the water surface is shaken and water invades from the upper opening of the float 35. In order to discharge the infiltrated water, the drainage tank 33 is separated from the main body 1, and when the drainage tank 33 is inclined, the contact portion 46 is formed in the drainage tank 33. In contact with the wall surface, the float 35 can no longer rotate. Therefore, since the float 35 which has been balanced in the horizontal plane is inclined together with the drain tank 33 because the equilibrium state is released, the user can simply tilt the drain tank 33 to the float 35. The invasive water can be drained, and the convenience of use can be improved.

Moreover, when the said float 35 rotates to the position over a horizontal plane, since the said contact part 46 abuts on the inner wall surface of the said drainage tank 33, the position where the said float 35 rotates to a horizontal plane position Since it can be set to the full state of the drain tank 33, the contact portion 46 on the inner wall surface of the drain tank 33 until the float 35 is lower than the horizontal plane, that is, There is an effect that a large amount of dehumidification water can be stored in the drainage tank 33 without the rotation of the float 35 being restricted to abut.
