Description

Dehumidifying device {DEHUMDIFYING APPARATUS}

It is about.

A dehumidifier is a device that lowers the humidity of a desired space by sucking air in a desired space, removing moisture contained in the air through heat exchange, and discharging the dehumidified air to the desired space. A refrigeration cycle is used to cool the air.

Specifically, the dehumidifier removes moisture through heat exchange between the refrigerant flowing through the condenser and the evaporator and the passing air by passing the air through a heat exchanger composed of a condenser and an evaporator after sucking in air from a desired space. Here, the condenser releases heat by condensing the refrigerant in a gaseous state and transfers the heat to the surrounding air, and the evaporator absorbs heat from the surrounding air by evaporating the refrigerant in a liquid state.

Therefore, the air passing through the heat exchanger consisting of the condenser and the evaporator lowers its temperature and humidity through heat exchange with the refrigerant in the process of passing through the evaporator, and the lowered humidity air passes through the condenser and is heated and dried through heat exchange with the refrigerant. . In addition, since the air dried by the condenser is discharged to a desired space, the humidity of the desired space can be lowered.

However, in the conventional dehumidifying device, the size of the condenser is 1.3 times larger than that of the evaporator to improve the dehumidifying performance, so the size of the device is inevitably increased, and condensate formed as moisture is condensed by the evaporator cannot be smoothly discharged. .

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The terms used in the present invention are terms defined in consideration of functions in the present invention, which may vary according to the intention or custom of the user or operator, so the definitions of these terms are meanings consistent with the technical details of the present invention. and should be interpreted as a concept.

1 to 6 of the accompanying drawings are views for explaining a dehumidifying device according to the present invention, and FIGS. 7 to 11 are views showing another embodiment of the dehumidifying device according to the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 , the dehumidifying device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a compressor 10, a heat exchanger 20, a base panel 30, a case 40, a fan 50, and a lower case. (60) and a drain panel (70).

The compressor 10 compresses and circulates the refrigerant at high temperature and high pressure, and is installed on one side of the base panel 30 . Since the role of the compressor 10 of the refrigerating cycle is well known to those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The heat exchanger 20 removes moisture in the air through heat exchange with air. The condenser 21 heats the surrounding air using latent heat of liquefaction and cools the surrounding air using latent heat of vaporization, while removing moisture. It consists of an evaporator 22 for condensing.

Here, the condenser 21 and the evaporator 22 are formed by installing a plurality of coils 21a and 22a through which refrigerant flows between a plurality of fin members 21b and 22b spaced apart from each other at regular intervals. , Since its structure and function are well known to those skilled in the art, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

However, as shown in FIG. 5, the condenser 21 and the evaporator 22 constituting the heat exchanger 20 are formed in a 1:1 ratio and arranged in parallel to make the device smaller and lighter.

In addition, the top panel 23 and the bottom panel 24 are closely attached to the top and bottom of the heat exchanger 20 to minimize wind loss of the air introduced into the case 40 by the fan 50 .

At this time, the top panel 23 is mounted between the heat exchanger 20 and the case 40, and the bottom panel 24 is mounted between the heat exchanger 20 and the base panel 30 so that no air leakage gap occurs. Avoid.

Accordingly, when external air is sucked in using the fan 50, resistance is minimized, so that an improved amount of dehumidification can be secured.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, in the fin members 21b and 22b of the condenser 21 and the evaporator 22, a burring operation is required in the hole portion into which the coil 21a and 22a through which the refrigerant enters and exits is inserted. And between the coils 21a and 22a and the holes, bushings 21c and 22c made of an elastic material may be installed.

Therefore, it is possible to design a spacious hall and minimize vibration transmitted from the compressor 10 .

The base panel 30 is provided on the upper side of the lower case 60 so that the compressor 10 and the heat exchanger 20 are installed on the upper surface, and as shown in FIG. 3, the compressor ( 10) and a backflow prevention guard 35 partitioning between the heat exchanger 20 is installed.

In addition, a plurality of drain holes 33 are formed at a portion where the heat exchanger 20 is installed so that condensed water is discharged to the drain panel 70 .

The case 40 is installed on the base panel 30 to protect the inner compressor 10 and the heat exchanger 20, and is provided with an air intake unit and an air discharge unit.

At this time, the air inlet is formed at the end of the heat exchanger side and the air outlet is formed at the end of the compressor side.

In addition, by installing one or more moving handles 45 and a plurality of lifting hooks 46 on the upper side of the case 40, it is preferable to easily move and install the case 40 to a desired position.

The fan 50 is provided in the air discharge part of the case 40 to suck in outside air into the case 40 and then dry and discharge it, and has a grill to improve safety.

The lower case 60 is installed below the base panel 30 and serves to protect the drain panel 70 and support the device using a plurality of supports 61 .

A hole is formed in the lower case 60 so that the drain hole 75 of the drain panel 70 can pass therethrough.

The drain panel 70 collects and discharges the condensate generated in the evaporator 220 and is installed on the bottom of the base panel 30 .

At this time, it is natural that the drain panel 70 should be inclined to one side so that the condensed water can be smoothly discharged.

In addition, a drain hole 75 may be installed below the inclined portion of the drain panel 70 so that condensed water is discharged to the outside of the lower case 60. The drain hole 75 protrudes outward from the lower case 60, thereby It is desirable to minimize drainage noise.

Accordingly, the lowering of humidity using the dehumidifying device of the present invention having the above configuration will be described as follows.

When the compressor 10 is operated, the refrigerant flows along the refrigerant circuit and exchanges heat with surrounding air.

At this time, external air is introduced into the case 40 according to the operation of the fan 50, and the dry air from which moisture is removed through heat exchange in the heat exchanger 20 is discharged to the outside, thereby lowering the indoor humidity. .

First, the external air introduced through the air intake is cooled through heat exchange with the air flowing along the coil 21a while flowing into the fin member 21b of the evaporator 21, and the moisture in the air lowers the temperature. As the amount of saturated water vapor decreases, it is condensed outside the coil 21a of the evaporator 21 and then discharged to the drain panel 70 through the drain hole 33 of the base panel 30.

In addition, since the air cooled while passing through the evaporator 22 is heated and dried while passing through the condenser 21, the amount of saturated water vapor increases and the humidity decreases.

Thereafter, the air whose humidity is reduced by the fan 50 is discharged to lower the humidity in the sealed or semi-enclosed room. The condensed water of the drain panel 70 is discharged to the outside of the lower case 60 through the drain hole 75 .

In the above, the discharge of condensate through the drain panel has been described, but as shown in FIGS. 7 to 11 , the lower case itself may be used as the condensate discharge unit without installing the drain panel.

In this case, since the rest of the configuration except for the lower case is the same as that of the above-described embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

However, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the lower case 60 has a lower surface inclined to one side.

That is, it is formed to be inclined downward toward the front part (compressor side) where the condensed water is discharged, so that smooth drainage is achieved.

In addition, an opening/closing door 65 provided with a drain hole 66 is rotatably installed at an outlet of the lower case 60, and a sealing member 63 may be provided at a portion in contact with the opening/closing door 65.

At this time, the opening and closing door 65 may include an opening and closing means, which is composed of a rod connected to the lower end of the opening and closing door 65 and an opening and closing cylinder 67 rotatably installed in the lower case 60. can

Accordingly, since another embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration is the same as the above-described embodiment except that the condensate is discharged through the lower case, a description thereof will be omitted, and the discharge of the condensate is as follows. explain together.

As shown in FIG. 10, the condensate that has fallen into the lower case 60 through the drain hole 33 of the base panel 30 is moved along the inclined surface of the lower case 60 and then provided to the opening/closing door 65. It is discharged to the outside through the drain hole 66.

Therefore, it is possible to quickly discharge the condensed water to solve the problem caused by the stagnation of the condensed water, and as the condensed water is easily discharged from the base panel 30, it is possible to secure a target amount of dehumidification at an early stage.

And when cleaning of the lower case 60 is required, when the dehumidifying device is not operating, as shown in FIG. do.

The embodiments described above are merely those of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not extremely limited to these embodiments, and various modifications and variations, etc. It will be said that this can be done, and it will be said that it belongs to the technical scope of the present invention.
