In the case of the electrical product housing configured as described above, when the power cord of the dehumidifier 1 that is an electrical product is stored in the wire storage section 230, the user does not directly insert the power cord into the wire storage section 230. As shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, first, the power cord is placed in the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300, and then the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300 is closed, thereby the electric power line can be accommodated in the electric wire accommodating portion 230.

In particular, when a rubber-clad electric wire such as the first type of power wire 400 is used as the power wire, the flexibility of the wire is poor. Therefore, it is quite difficult to properly accommodate the power cord directly in the electric wire accommodating portion 230 opened in the vertical side surface of the rear case 200.

In contrast, after the power cord is placed in the electric wire accommodating cover part 300, the electric wire accommodating cover part 300 is closed, and the electric power cord is accommodated in the electric wire accommodating part 230, whereby the electric power cord can be appropriately accommodated in the electric wire accommodating part 230. Inside. At this time, since at least the left side wall portion 312 and the right side wall portion 314 are provided in the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300, the power cord can be easily placed so as not to be exposed from the cover main surface portion 301 of the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300.

In this manner, when the power cord is accommodated in the electric wire accommodating portion 230, the user first opens the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300. As described above, the lower side of the wire storage cover 300 is pivotally supported by the rear case 200. Therefore, when the user opens the electric wire accommodating cover part 300, as shown in FIG. 3, the upper side of the electric wire accommodating cover part 300 falls down toward the front of the user who is located on the rear side of the dehumidifier 1.

Then, in a state where the electric wire accommodating cover 300 is fully opened, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the upper side of the electric wire accommodating cover 300 is separated from the rear case 200 and is in contact with the installation surface P of the dehumidifier 1. As described above, in this state, the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300 is inclined so that the lower side of the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300 becomes higher, and the upper side of the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300 becomes lower. Therefore, a user located on the rear side of the dehumidifier 1 can easily place the power cord inside the electric wire storage cover 300. In addition, since the upper side of the wire storage cover 300 is in contact with the installation surface P, the dehumidifier 1 does not prevent the power cord from being strongly pressed against the wire storage cover 300 when the power cable is stored in the wire storage cover 300. Move or tip over to easily accommodate the power cord.

As shown in FIG. 2, in a state where the electric wire storage cover 300 is closed, the electric wire storage cover 300 stands vertically. Therefore, after the power cord is placed in the electric wire storage cover 300 in the state shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, when the electric wire storage cover 300 is closed, the electric wire storage cover 300 is gradually stood up. At this time, since the lower side of the electric wire accommodating cover part 300 rotates as a shaft, the lower side of the electric wire accommodating cover part 300 does not leave the rear case 200.

Therefore, as the electric wire accommodating cover part 300 approaches vertically, the power cords to be dropped off from the electric wire accommodating cover part 300 gradually fall so as to enter into the electric wire accommodating part 230. Therefore, during the process of closing the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300, it is possible to suppress the power cord from being exposed from the electric wire accommodating portion 230.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a state where the power cord of the dehumidifier 1 is the first type power cord 400 described above, and the first type power cord 400 is placed in the electric wire storage cover 300. As shown in FIG. 8, the first type plug portion 410 is arranged so that the outer shape of the first type plug portion 410 fits the first type plug guide 343 and the insertion piece faces the side opposite to the cover main surface portion 301. When the first type plug portion 410 is arranged in this manner, the plug holding portion 341 is a portion that holds the connection portion of the first type plug portion 410 and the first type electric wire 420. Then, the first type of electric wire 420 in a loose bundle is put inside the lower side wall portion 311, the left side wall portion 312, the upper side wall portion 313, and the right side wall portion 314. In this manner, the electric wire storage cover 300 includes the plug holding portion 341 and the first plug guide 343, and the lower side wall portion 311, the left side wall portion 312, the upper side wall portion 313, and the right side wall portion 314. The first type power cord 400 is placed in the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300 in a manner of being easily accommodated inside the cover main surface portion 301.

In the case where the first type power cord 400 extends from the first power cord outlet 201 on the outer side of the electric wire accommodating portion 230 to the outside of the rear case 200, as shown in FIG. 8, the first type electric wire 420 is passed through the first After the notch 331, the first type power cord 400 is placed in the electric wire storage cover 300. In this way, as shown in FIG. 2, when the electric wire storage cover 300 is closed, after passing through the first notch 331, the first type power cord 400 is pulled into the electric wire storage 230 from the outside of the electric wire storage 230. Inside. That is, in this case, the first cutout portion 331 functions as a cutout portion for pulling the power cord into the electric wire storage portion 230 when the dehumidifier 1 is not used. Therefore, since the dehumidifier 1 cannot accommodate excess power cords in the electric wire storage cover 300 during operation, it is possible to prevent damage to the power cords due to heat generated during power-on.

On the other hand, in the case where the first power cord 400 extends from the second power cord outlet 231 (FIG. 5), when the dehumidifier 1 is used, when the electric wire storage cover 300 is closed, it passes through the first notch After 331, the first type power cord 400 can be pulled out from the inside of the electric wire accommodating portion 230 to the outside of the rear case 200. That is, in this case, the first cutout portion 331 functions as a cutout portion for pulling out the power cord from the electric wire storage portion 230 when the dehumidifier 1 is used.

As shown in FIG. 8, the plug holding portion 341 is formed so that the insertion piece faces the side opposite to the cover main surface portion 301 and holds the first plug portion 410. In this state, as shown in FIG. 2, when the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300 is closed, the insertion piece of the first type plug portion 410 projects toward the electric wire accommodating portion 230 side. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the insertion piece escape hole 232 is formed in the electric wire storage portion 230. The insertion piece escape hole 232 is in a state where the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300 is closed, and is disposed at a position where the insertion piece of the first type plug portion 410 held by the plug holding portion 341 passes. In this way, it is sufficient to set the depth of the electric wire accommodating portion 230 in consideration of the thickness of the portion other than the insertion piece of the first plug portion 410. Therefore, the depth of the electric wire storage portion 230 can be reduced.

The power cord of the dehumidifier 1 that is an electrical product can be used in different types according to the country, region, etc. where the dehumidifier 1 is used. In addition to the first type of power line 400 described so far, the power supply line may be a second type of power line 500 as shown in FIG. 9, for example. The second type power cord 500 includes a second type plug portion 510 and a second type electric wire 520. The second type of plug portion 510 is an A-type plug having two insertion pieces. Here, an example of the second type of electric wire 520 is a so-called vinyl flat electric wire, but it is not limited to this. The second type of electric wire 520 may be, for example, a covered electric wire.

Like the first type plug portion 410, the second type plug portion 510 is connected to a socket of a commercial power source when the dehumidifier 1 is used. Also, like the first type of power cord 400, the second type of power cord 500 may be provided to extend from the first power cord outlet 201 to the outside of the rear case 200, or may be provided to extend from the second power cord outlet 231 To the outside of the rear case 200.

As shown in FIG. 7, the second cutout portion 332 is formed in the electric wire storage cover portion 300. The second notch portion 332 is formed from the upper side wall portion 313 to the cover main surface portion 301. That is, a portion of the upper side wall portion 313 near the left side wall portion 312 is interrupted, and a gap is formed in the upper side wall portion 313. Further, a gap is formed so as to be connected to the upper side wall portion 313, and the cover main surface portion 301 is cut into a semi-elliptical shape. The semi-elliptical portion of the second notch portion 332 formed in the cover main surface portion 301 is a hose passage portion 332a.

The hose cover portion 351 and the hose cover holding portion 352 are provided on the cover main surface portion 301. The hose cover portion 351 is configured to open and close the hose passage portion 332a freely. An end portion of the hose cover portion 351 opposite to the upper side wall portion 313 is rotatably attached to the cover main surface portion 301. By rotating the hose cover portion 351 to the cover main surface portion 301, the hose passage portion 332a can be opened and closed.

The one shown in FIG. 7 is a state where the hose passage part 332a is closed by the hose cover part 351. Meanwhile, the one shown in FIG. 10 is a state in which the hose passage portion 332 a is opened with the hose cover portion 351. When the hose passage portion 332 a is opened, a part of the hose cover portion 351 is engaged with the hose cover holding portion 352. In addition, the hose cover holding portion 352 can keep the hose cover portion 351 open.

As shown in FIG. 11, the dehumidifier 1 includes a heat exchanger 21, a drain pan 22, a water storage tank 600, and a drain hose 23. The heat exchanger 21 and the drain pan 22 are provided inside a casing composed of the front case 100 and the rear case 200. The heat exchanger 21 cools the air sucked into the casing from the suction port 210 and condenses the moisture contained in the air. The drain pan 22 is disposed below the heat exchanger 21. The drain pan 22 receives drain water generated by the condensation of the heat exchanger 21 and is guided to the water storage tank 600. The water storage tank 600 is used for storing and draining water. When the water storage tank 600 reaches the full water level, the dehumidifier 1 is stopped.

A drain hose 23 can be connected to the drain pan 22. The drain hose 23 does not store the water received by the drain pan 22 in the water storage tank 600 but discharges it to the outside of the dehumidifier 1. The drain hose 23 is installed so as to extend from the electric wire accommodating portion 230 to the outside of the rear case 200.

When the hose passage portion 332 a is opened with the hose cover portion 351 and the electric wire accommodation cover portion 300 is closed, the drain hose 23 can be passed through the hose passage portion 332 a and out of the electric wire accommodation cover portion 300. In this way, the connection portion of the drain hose 23 can be incorporated into the electric wire accommodating portion 230 hidden by the electric wire accommodating cover portion 300, and the design of the appearance can be improved.

When the dehumidifier 1 is provided without using the drain hose 23, the design of the appearance can be improved by closing the hose passage portion 332a with the hose cover portion 351. Further, when the drain hose 23 is not used, foreign matter or the like can be prevented from entering the inside from the hose passage portion 332a.
