Hereinafter, the components will be described with reference to the drawings.

2 to 4 is a perspective view and a front view and a side view of the home electronic dehumidifier of the present invention, the outer portion 10 is a front surface of the suction port 11, the humidity sensor 12 and the adapter connector 18 and the control board therein The control unit 60 is connected to the 61, and the cooling plate 31, the thermoelectric element 32, and the heat sink 33 are provided on one side of the cartridge 20 which is installed to be opened to the upper portion 10. The thermoelectric element assembly 30 coupled in this order is installed, and the suction part 40 on which the suction fan 42 is mounted on the fan case 41 is installed on the other side thereof, and in particular, the heat sink 33 is the cartridge 20. It is mounted so that the dry air flowing between the fin and the fin of the heat sink 33 is directed upward. In addition, the water collecting tank 50 is provided in the case of the dehumidifier lower main body to collect the water generated in the cooling plate 31 in a case-type, the hook portion 13 is formed in the upper center of the rear portion 10 of the outer portion (10) The diaphragm 14 is installed at one side of the middle portion, and the microswitches 52 and 53 are inserted into and mounted at the center of the diaphragm 14 to form a network with the control board 61. At the lower end of the outer portion 10, the support portion 15 is formed.

The control unit 60 provided on the front surface of the external part 10 includes a power switch 63, a dehumidifying indicator 64, a full water indicator 65, and a humidity setting volume 66.

FIG. 5 is an internal configuration diagram of the home electronic dehumidifier, in which a heat sink 33 is mounted to an opened upper portion of the cartridge 20, and a square first coupling hole 21 and a fastening hole 23 are formed on one side thereof. The thermoelectric element 32 is inserted into the first coupling hole 21, and the bolt B is inserted into the cooling plate 31 which is integrally coupled with the thermoelectric element 32 to fasten the fastening hole of the cartridge 20 ( And a bolt B on the fan case 41 of the suction part 40 having the suction fan 42 formed on the other side thereof, and having a polygonal second coupling hole 22 and a fastening hole 23 formed on the other side thereof. Insert and couple to the fastening hole 23 of the cartridge (20).

As described above, the suction fan 42 is not directly connected to the suction port 11 of the outer portion 10 and is positioned at the center of the dehumidifier to reduce noise, and the heat sink 33 of the thermoelectric element assembly 30 is removed. Mutual interference with the flow of humid air flowing from the inlet port 11 located in front of the outer part 10 by allowing the dehumidified air to be discharged only to the upper part of the outer part 10 as it is mounted inside the cartridge 20 opened upward. The phenomenon is eliminated, and the width of the convection path of the indoor air is widened, so that a greater dehumidification effect can be obtained.

FIG. 6 illustrates a water collecting tank 50 provided in a case type in the lower body of the dehumidifying device to collect water generated from the cooling plate 31. A finger catching 56 is formed on the front surface of the water collecting plate 50. Inlet 51 and drain 55, buoy 54 and fastening jaw 57 is provided, and when mounted to the dehumidification device of the sump 50, the first micro switch 52 and the upper fastening jaw (57) And mounted on the micro switch case 16 so that the second micro switch 53 is positioned above the buoy 54, and is provided below the diaphragm 14 to form a network with the control board 61. While the dehumidifying device performs normal dehumidification by the first micro switch 52, the second micro switch 53 acts on the buoy 54 provided at the upper part of the water collecting tank 50 when the water is full. Give a signal of pause, the drain hole 55 is a rubber stopper (58) It is to be opened and closed.

Referring to Figure 7 describes an embodiment of a home electronic dehumidification apparatus of the present invention.

When the separately supplied adapter is connected to the adapter connector 18 of the outer portion, and the power switch 63 of the controller 60 is turned on, the controller board 61 operates the dehumidifying device. When the desired humidity value is set by the humidity setting volume 66 attached to the controller 60, the control is performed to the refreshment of humidity detected by the humidity sensor 12 attached to the front of the outer part 10. Accordingly, the operation and non-operation of the thermoelectric element 32 and the suction fan 42 are automatically performed. At this time, the green dehumidification indicator 64 attached to the control unit 60 blinks to indicate the operation of the device. do. However, in the case of the manual model other than the automatic model, when the power switch 63 of the control unit 60 is turned on, continuous operation is performed without a separate control function, and the dehumidification display of the control unit 60 is performed. The light 64 is also continuously turned on, and when the user does not need dehumidification according to the use environment, the power switch 63 is turned off (OFF) to stop all operations.

In describing the actual dehumidification activity, when the suction fan 42 is operated, the suction air is sucked into the suction port 11, and the suctioned wet air is in parallel with the cooling plate 31 immediately behind the suction port 11. The dehumidified dry air moves through the space in the apparatus, and flows into the second engagement hole 22 of the cartridge 20 to which the rear suction fan 42 is fastened. 20) Cools the heat dissipation plate 33 mounted therein and exits to the upper portion of the device through the upper opening.

At this time, the condensed water generated in the cooling plate 31 is lowered and stored in the water collecting tank 50 through the inlet 51 of the water collecting tank 50, and is provided on the diaphragm 14 above the water collecting tank 50. When the buoy 54 is lifted during full water, when the second micro switch 53 is lifted up, the full water indicator 65 provided in the controller 60 is turned on immediately by the circuit configuration of the control board 61. By interrupting the current to the thermoelectric element 32 and the suction fan 42 it is temporarily stopped.

In the above situation, the user is pulled out using the finger catches 56 of the water collecting tank 50 and separated from the outer portion 10 to discharge the condensed water using the outlet 55. Then, when the user inserts the empty water collecting tank 50 again, the dehumidifier switches to the previous initial mode and resumes the dehumidification activity. Here, the first micro switch 52 provided with the second micro switch 53 has a fastening jaw 57 formed to protrude when the water collecting tank 50 in which water is empty is joined to the first micro switch 52. Normal dehumidifier operation to supply current to the entire system.

As described above, the present invention has a remarkable noise reduction effect because the suction fan is not directly connected to the inlet of the outer part, and is located in the center of the dehumidifier, and the dehumidified air is discharged only to the upper part of the outer part so that the inlet is located at the front of the outer part. Since it does not cause interference with the air flowing from the air, the convection path of the indoor air is made wide, so that a great dehumidification effect can be obtained in a short time. In addition, the water tank can be separated from the dehumidifier by opening and closing, so that it can be easily separated from the dehumidifier main body at the time of high water so that it can be drained easily. By using the support provided to be able to freely stand on the table has the effect of providing a variety of treatment.
