Description

Dehumidifier {Dehumidifier}

The present invention relates to a dehumidifier, and more particularly, to a dehumidifier including a detachable member that allows a user to easily detach the front panel from the main body.

In general, the dehumidifier may be classified into a dehumidifier using a cooling cycle and a dehumidifier using a desiccant rotor according to an operation method.

In the case of a dehumidifier using a cooling cycle, a compressor must be provided, and the noise of the compressor and the problem of securing a space in which the compressor is located, etc., and a dehumidifier using a desiccant rotor has been widely used in recent years.

Desiccant rotor has the property of adsorbing moisture in the air, dehumidifying while passing the room air through the desiccant rotor, and is based on the principle of regenerating desiccant adsorbed with moisture using high temperature air.

Here, the air regenerated by the desiccant rotor becomes hot and humid, and the hot and humid air is discharged to the outside. However, when the high temperature and high humidity air is discharged to the outside, even if the dehumidifier is located on the exterior of the building or indoors, there is a problem that a separate exhaust duct should be provided.

Therefore, when circulating the hot and humid air in which the desiccant is regenerated inside the dehumidifier, it is not necessary to provide a separate exhaust duct. In addition, the location of the dehumidifier has the advantage that the user can be placed in the desired position.

In order to circulate the high temperature and high humidity air, it is necessary to remove the moisture of the high temperature and high humidity air, and thus condensation heat exchange that can generally remove the high temperature and high humidity moisture in the space between the indoor air inlet and the desiccant rotor. A group is provided. That is, the humidity is reduced by the principle of condensing moisture inside the hot humid air by exchanging the hot humid air with the normal temperature air.

On the other hand, recently, it is common to install a filter for filtering foreign substances in the air in the air intake passage through which the air is sucked into the dehumidifier. Then, the user separates the filter from the main body and periodically cleans the foreign substances filtered by the filter.

As a result, in order to replace the filter inside the main body, a part of the main body must be separated from the main body, and in general, the front panel is separated to separate the filter from the main body.

However, when the front panel is conventionally separated from the main body, the fastening member for fastening the front panel and the main body should be separated, and thus a separate tool for separating the fastening member is required. Therefore, there is a problem that the user has to work a lot of time and process to remove the front panel when replacing the filter periodically.

An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a dehumidifier that the user can easily separate the front panel from the main body.

Another object of the present invention to provide a dehumidifier that can be easily coupled to the front panel and the main body without using a separate fastening member.

The dehumidifier according to the present invention for solving the above problems is provided with a main body having an air intake and an air discharge part, a filter for purifying indoor air sucked into the air intake, and a front surface of which the engaging protrusion is formed and detachable from the main body. It includes a panel, a desiccant rotor for dehumidifying the indoor air passing through the filter and the main body, and a detachable member for restricting the locking projection when the front panel is coupled to the main body.

The detachable member may include a button unit to which an external force is transmitted, an elastic unit deformed by the external force and providing an elastic force in a direction opposite to the deformed direction, and a engaging unit detachably coupled to the engaging protrusion of the front panel by the elastic force. do.

The locking portion is coupled to the locking protrusion by the elastic force and released from the locking protrusion by the deformation of the elastic portion by the external force. The locking portion may be located between the button portion and the elastic portion. Meanwhile, a part of the button part may be exposed to the outside of the main body.

On the other hand, the air suction unit is formed on the side of the main body, the inside of the main body includes a filter flow path for inducing the air sucked in the air suction unit to the filter installed on the front panel. The front panel is provided with a filter mounting portion to which the filter is coupled, and the filter is slidably coupled to be detachable from the filter mounting portion.

Dehumidifier according to the present invention having the above configuration has the following effects.

First, the user can remove the front panel from the main body by a simple operation by applying an external force to the removable member. Thus, the user can easily remove the filter installed on the front panel.

Second, when coupling the front panel to the main body can be combined by one operation without using a separate fastening member. After the user replaces the filter by removing the front panel, the user can easily refit the front panel to the body.

The desiccant of various shapes and materials may be used as the desiccant, but the desiccant 44 in this embodiment has a shape in which a cylindrical paper and a corrugated paper of ceramic fiber are alternately wound in a cylindrical shape. Also, meso silica (Meso-Silica (SiO2)) has a highly developed pore and surface area, and has excellent hygroscopic properties, including nano carbon balls (NCB: Nano caboon Ball) that can be regenerated at low temperatures of about 60 ℃ or less.

The nano carbon ball (NCB) is composed of a spherical hollow core part and a mesoporous carbon cell part, and is a spherical carbon structure having a diameter of 200 nm to 500 nm. There is no pore blockage because of the large area.

On the other hand, the desiccant 44 is a region (hereinafter referred to as a 'dehumidification zone') where moisture is adsorbed as the indoor air passes and a region (hereinafter referred to as a 'regeneration zone') where moisture is evaporated while the regeneration air passes. Compartment. As the desiccant 44 rotates, the respective regions are alternately changed to adsorb / evaporate moisture.

The regeneration region is generally formed in a fan shape. The regeneration area may be partitioned to face the regeneration air heating member 60 which will be described later.

Inside the main body, a rotor supporter 41 rotatably supporting the dehumidifying rotor and a rotor frame 47 to which the rotor supporter 41 is mounted are disposed.

The front of the rotor supporter 41 is coupled to the regeneration air distribution member 90 described later. And the rear surface of the regeneration air distribution member 90 is open and forms a suction portion into which regeneration air flows into the regeneration air distribution member 90 while being coupled with the rotor supporter 41.

The rotor frame 47 serves as a kind of barrier that divides the inside of the main body into the rear space where the blower 9 is disposed and the front space where the condensation heat exchanger 100 is disposed. The front surface of the rotor frame 47 is opened to allow room air and regeneration air to pass through the desiccant 44. An opening through which regenerated air passes through the exhaust duct 80 to be described later is formed.

And the upper part of the rotor frame 47 is formed in the upper portion of the control box mounting portion is mounted control clap 22 to control the dehumidifier.

The regeneration fan 50 imparts a circulation force so that regeneration air can flow while circulating in the main body. That is, the regeneration fan 50 sucks air passing through the exhaust duct 80 and discharges the regenerated air to the regenerated air heating member 60.

The regenerated air heating member 60 heats the regenerated air discharged from the regeneration fan 90 to supply high temperature regenerated air to the dehumidifying rotor 45. The regeneration air heating member 60 is positioned between the first heater cover 65 and the first heater cover 65 and the dehumidifying rotor which communicate with the regeneration fan 50 while covering the heater 63 and the heater 63. The second heater cover 61 is coupled to the first heater cover 65.

Meanwhile, regenerated air heated while passing through the regenerated air heating member 60 passes through the regenerated area of the desiccant 44 and flows into the regenerated air distribution member 90.

The regeneration air distribution member 90 is located between the regeneration zone and the condensation heat exchanger 100. Therefore, the regenerated air discharged from the regeneration zone enters the regenerated air distribution member 90, is distributed to the condensation heat exchanger 100, and is introduced.

The condensation heat exchanger 100 heat-exchanges the regenerated air via the regenerated air distribution member 90 with the indoor air. That is, the regenerated air that has adsorbed the moisture while passing through the regenerating region of the desiccant 44 is condensed by using indoor air, and the regenerated air from which the moisture is removed is discharged to the regeneration fan 50 through the exhaust duct 80. The condensed water is discharged to the drain pan 5 through a discharge hole formed in the condensation heat exchanger 100.

On the other hand, the condensation heat exchanger 100 in the present embodiment may be formed of a plurality of heat exchange plates to maximize the heat exchange area of the regeneration air and the indoor air.

Regenerated air from which moisture is removed while passing through the condensation heat exchanger 100 is sucked back into the regeneration fan 50 through an exhaust duct 90 formed in communication with the condensation heat exchanger.

The filter mounting portion 13 protrudes from the rear side of the front panel 10, and the filter 14 is slidably coupled. And the filter 14 is mounted and detached while sliding to the filter mounting portion (13). The filter 14 may be slid from the left and right sides, but in the present embodiment, the filter 14 is slidable in the up and down direction. On the other hand, a plurality of filters 14 may be provided, the filter mounting portion 13 is also formed according to the number of filters.

The filter passage 15 is formed in the space between the filter mounting portion 13 and the rear surface of the front panel. And the filter flow path 15 serves to guide the air introduced through the air intake formed on the side of the main body to pass through the filter (14). That is, the air sucked into the air suction part 34 on the side of the main body 1 is guided to the space between the front panel 10 and the filter 14 through the filter flow path 15, and then passes through the filter 14. do.

The left and right panels 30 and 35 form side surfaces of the main body, and a handle is installed to allow the user to manually move the dehumidifier. Since the left and right panels 30 and 35 have the same configuration except for the position, the following description will be made based on the right panel 30.

A hole is formed at a point where the bucket 2 to be described below is located among the lower portions of the right panels 30 and 35, and a separate hose may be connected to discharge the water contained in the bucket 2 to the outside.

An opening is formed in the front of the right panel 30, the locking projection hole 31 through which the locking projection 12 of the front panel 10 passes. And the locking projection 12 is coupled to and separated from the locking portion 23 of the detachable member 20 while entering and exiting the locking projection hole (31).

Is an exploded plan view of FIG.

5 to 8, the configuration of the detachable member 20 according to the present embodiment will be described, and the engaging process of the front panel 10 and the engaging process and the detachable process of the front panel 10 and the main body 1 will be described.

Detachable member 20 is provided in the main body 1 is detachably coupled to the engaging projection of the front panel 10. In this embodiment, the detachable member 20 is provided on the left and right panels 30 and 35 one by one. The configuration and location of the two detachable members 20 are the same, and will be described below with reference to the detachable member 20 located in one right panel 30.

The detachable member 20 includes a button portion 21, a locking portion 23, an elastic portion 25, and a fixing portion 27. The above configuration may be combined with a separate configuration, but in this embodiment is formed integrally.

The button portion 21 is located while passing through the button portion hole 32 of the right panel 30. Therefore, a part of the button portion 21 is exposed to the outside of the main body (1). When the user applies an external force to the button part 21, the button part is moved while sliding into the button part hole 32 by the external force. The locking portion 23 is separated from the locking protrusion 12 while moving to the inside of the main body by the external force. And the elastic portion 25 is to shrinkage deformation. As a result, the user can detach the front panel 10 from the main body.

When the user removes the external force applied to the button part 21 in the state in which the front panel 10 is separated, the elastic part 25 that has undergone contraction deformation is restored to the position before the external force is applied by the elastic force. . Accordingly, the button portion 21 and the locking portion 23 also return to their original positions.

The locking portion 23 is engaged with the locking protrusion 12 when the front panel 10 is coupled to the main body 1. One end of the locking portion 23 is connected to the button portion 21 to be released from the locking protrusion 12 while moving to the inside of the main body by an external force of the user. Like the locking protrusion 12 described above, the end of the locking portion protrudes to the left and right to be engaged with the locking protrusion 12. And the inclined surface (23a) is formed in a portion of the end, the locking projection 12 is inclined to induce the engagement of the locking projection 12 and the locking portion 23 while sliding with the inclined surface (12a).

And the other end of the engaging portion 23, the elastic portion 25 is connected. The elastic portion 25 is deformed by the external force of the user to release the locking portion 23 from the locking projection 12. And when the external force is removed to restore the original shape by the elastic force to move the locking portion 23 and the button portion 21 to the original position.

The catching part 23 and the catching protrusion 12 may be detachably coupled without the elastic part 25. However, by providing the elastic portion 25 in this embodiment, there is an advantage that the locking projection 12 and the locking portion 23 can be attached and detached by one operation. In the state in which the locking protrusion 12 and the locking portion 23 are coupled, the elastic portion 25 pushes the locking portion 23 in the direction coupled with the locking protrusion 12 by an elastic force. As a result, the locking protrusion 12 and the locking portion 23 are firmly coupled, and thus the front panel 10 is also firmly coupled to the left and right panels 30 and 35.

The fixing part 27 is formed at the end of the elastic part 25 and serves to fix the detachable member 20 inside the right panel 30. That is, the fixing part 27 is fixed to the groove 33 formed in the right panel 30. As a result, the button portion 21 and the locking portion 23 are moved in the left and right directions by the external force of the user and the elastic force of the elastic portion 25. In addition, the elastic portion 25 is also subjected to shrinkage deformation and restoration deformation. However, the fixing portion 27 serves to fix the removable member 20 without moving or deforming.

Hereinafter, a detachment process of the front panel 10 will be described.

The fixing protrusion 11 of the front panel 10 is coupled to the fixing protrusion groove 3a of the upper panel 3, and the locking protrusion 12 of the front panel 10 is connected to the left and right panels 30 and 35. It is coupled to the locking portion 23 of the detachable member 20 by penetrating through the formed locking projections 31 and 36. At this time, the locking portion 23 is in close contact with the locking protrusion 12 by the elastic force of the elastic portion 25 of the detachable member 20. Therefore, the front panel 10 and the main body 1 are firmly coupled.

When the user replaces the filter 14, the user exerts an external force on the button portion 21. The button portion 21 moves by the external force applied to the button portion 21, and the locking portion 23 connected to the button portion 21 also moves. Accordingly, the locking portion 23 is released from the locking protrusion 12. Therefore, the locking projections 12 can escape from the locking projection grooves 31 and 36 of the left and right panels 30 and 35. At this time, the fixing protrusion 11 of the front panel 10 is coupled to the fixing protrusion groove 3a.

When the user separates the front panel 10 from the main body 1, the fixing protrusion 11 is separated from the fixing protrusion groove 3a. And the user can slide the filter 14 off the filter mounting portion (13).

Since the user's external force is removed from the detachable member 20 while the user removes the front panel 10 from the main body, the user is restored to the position before the external force is applied by the elastic force of the elastic part 25.

On the other hand, after the user finishes the cleaning of the filter 14, the sliding coupling to the filter mounting portion 13 is coupled to the front panel 10 back to the main body (1).

In this case, the user first couples the fixing protrusion 11 to the fixing protrusion groove 3a. And while the front panel 10 is in close contact with the main body is inserted into the locking projections (12, 36) of the locking projections 12 of the left and right panels (30, 35). As a result, the locking protrusion 12 is coupled to the locking part 23 by passing through the locking protrusion grooves 31 and 36.

Specifically, the inclined surface 12a at the end of the locking protrusion 12 described above is slid into the inclined surface 23a at the end of the locking portion 23 and the locking protrusion 12 is inserted into the left and right panels 30 and 35. And the locking projection 12 is coupled to the locking portion 23 while passing through the end of the inclined surface (23a) of the locking portion (23).

Hereinafter, a condensation process of regenerated air of the present invention dehumidifier configured as described above, a dehumidification process of indoor air, and a process of discharging condensed water and water inside the main body 1 will be described.

First, the regeneration air circulates through the regeneration path by the rotation of the regeneration fan 50. That is, the regenerated air passing through the regeneration fan 50 is heated by the regenerated air heating member 60 to increase the temperature. The high temperature regenerated air regenerates the regenerated area of the desiccant 44 and flows into the condensation heat exchanger 100 via the regenerated air distribution member 90.

The regenerated air introduced into the condensation heat exchanger 100 exchanges heat with indoor air while flowing from the top to the bottom of the plurality of heat exchange plates. In the heat exchange process, moisture in the regenerated air is condensed. The condensed regeneration air is introduced into the regeneration fan 50 through the opening of the rotor frame 47 through the exhaust duct 90. That is, the regenerated air circulates in the main body along the above cycle.

On the other hand, the indoor air is sucked through the air inlet of the main body to exchange heat with the regeneration air flowing in the regeneration air passage while passing through the indoor air passage of the condensation heat exchanger (100). The indoor air passing through the condensation heat exchanger (100) passes through the dehumidifying area of the desiccant (44), where moisture is adsorbed and dehumidified. The indoor air absorbed with moisture passes through the blower fan 9 and is discharged back to the room through the air discharge part of the main body.

On the other hand, the condensed water condensed in the condensation heat exchanger 100 is received into the bucket 2 via the drain pan (5). The user separates the bucket 2 from the base 8 and discards the condensate and moisture outside the product.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many other modifications based on the present invention will be possible to those skilled in the art within the above technical scope.
