상기한 바와 같이 이루어진 본 발명에 따른 제습기의 수위 감지장치의 작용을 다음에서 설명한다.The operation of the water level detecting device of the dehumidifier according to the present invention made as described above will be described below.

물탱크(4)에 제습된 물이 채워지면 그 수위가 증가됨에 따라 플로트(8)가 상승된다. 이때, 플로트(8)는 가이드 격벽(12)에 삽입된 상태이므로 수직으로 상승된다. 상승되는 플로트(8)가 일정 위치에 도달되면 플로트(8) 상측에 돌출된 돌기(10)가 발광부(18)와 수광부(20) 사이의 공간으로 점차적으로 삽입된다.When the water tank 4 is filled with dehumidified water, the float 8 is raised as the water level is increased.

When the rising float 8 reaches a predetermined position, the projection 10 protruding above the float 8 is gradually inserted into the space between the light emitting portion 18 and the light receiving portion 20.

이때, 발광부(18)에서 조사되는 광빔이 돌기(10)의 상승에 따라 수광부(20)로 전달되는 광빔량이 달라지게 되고, 달라진 광빔량에 따라 제어부(22)로 전달되는 전압이 변화된다. 그러면, 제어부(22)는 수광부(20)로부터 전달되는 전압에 따라 현재 수위를 판단하여 알림수단(24)을 작동시킨다.At this time, the amount of light beams transmitted from the light emitting unit 18 to the light receiving unit 20 is changed as the projection 10 rises, and the voltage transmitted to the controller 22 is changed according to the changed amount of light beams. Then, the control unit 22 determines the current water level according to the voltage transmitted from the light receiving unit 20 to operate the notification means 24.

즉, 제어부(22)는 수위에 따라 알림수단(24)을 단계적으로 작동시켜 현재 수위를 사용자에게 알려주고, 현재 수위가 만수에 도달된 것으로 판단되면 사용자에게 현재 만수 상태임을 경고한다.That is, the controller 22 notifies the user of the current level by activating the notification means 24 in accordance with the level, and warns the user that the current level is full when the current level is reached.

따라서, 상기와 같이 구성되고 작용되는 본 발명에 따른 제습기의 수위 감지장치는 수위 변화에 따라 플로트가 상승되면 광센서에 의해 현재 수위를 감지하여 사용자에게 알려주고, 만수상태인 경우에는 사용자에게 경고하는 구조로 형성되어, 그 구조를 단순화하고, 정확한 수위 감지가 가능하며, 현재의 수위상태를 사용자가 확인할 수 있는 이점이 있다.Therefore, the water level detecting device of the dehumidifier according to the present invention configured and operated as described above detects the current water level by an optical sensor when the float rises according to the water level change, and notifies the user when the water level is full. Formed to simplify the structure, accurate water level detection is possible, there is an advantage that the user can check the current water level.
