DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dehumidifier for detecting the fullness of a drain tank by detecting the displacement of a float.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing the entire structure of a conventional dehumidifier. FIG. 3 is a sectional view of a portion where a drain tank is installed in a conventional dehumidifier. In FIG. 2 , reference numeral 1 denotes an evaporator provided downstream of the air suction port 2, a condenser 3 provided downstream of the evaporator 2, and a wind direction variable vane 6 provided further through a blower fan 5 downstream thereof. Outlet 7 is provided. The evaporator 1 is received by a drain pan 9 having a drain port 8, and a drainage tank 10 is provided below the drain port 8.
Is installed. On the other hand, the evaporator 1 and the condenser 3 are a compressor 1 mounted on a base 11 through a refrigerant pipe.
2 to form a refrigeration cycle.

In FIG. 3 , reference numeral 13 denotes a float, which has a magnet 14. 15 is a reed switch,
Fullness detection is performed by the float 13 and the magnet 14. 16 is a water level display plate, 17 is a carrying handle supported at both ends on the tank inner wall, and 18 and 19 are floats 1
3, a support shaft that rotatably supports the handle 17;

Next, the operation will be described. The water dehumidified by the operation of the dehumidifier is stored in the drain tank 10. The accumulated water is made easy to see by the water level display plate 16 and the driving effect is emphasized. Then, as the water level rises, the float 13 floats with the support shaft 18 as a fulcrum, and the interval between the magnet 14 attached to the float 13 and the reed switch 15 increases. When the interval exceeds a predetermined value, the dehumidifying operation is automatically performed. Stop temporarily to prevent water overflow. The water stored in the drain tank 10 is taken out of the main body of the drain tank 10 and carried to a place where the water is discarded by holding the handle 17.

[0005]

Since the conventional dehumidifier is constructed as described above, the water is drained when the drain tank 10 is full, so that when the drain tank 10 is taken out of the main body or when it is carried, the float is used. Since the float 13 is supported so as to be freely rotatable around the support shaft 18, when the float 13 swings, the water surface also swings and the drain tank 10 is rotated.
There was a problem that water overflowed from inside.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a dehumidifier which suppresses the fluctuation of water in a drain tank when the drain tank is discarded. I have.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The dehumidifier according to the present invention, in the dehumidifier which is adapted to detect the full level of the drain tank by the displacement of the float, the water level of the drain tank
Anti-oscillation plate that prevents liquid from oscillating on the displayed water level display plate
For holding the handle for carrying the drainage tank
The receiving part is made by the swing prevention plate provided on the water level display plate.
Characterized in that was.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiment 1 Hereinafter, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a drain tank installation portion of a dehumidifier according to the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which water has not been filled. 1
Nos. 3 to 19 have the same configuration as the conventional example, and the description is omitted. 2
1 is a dehumidifier main body in which a drainage tank 10 is stored and installed.
You. 22 is formed integrally with the upper end portion of the water level display plate 16
This is an anti-swing plate in the horizontal direction.
Also serves as a holding receiving portion of the barrel 17.

Next, the operation will be described. Base as dehumidifier
This operation is completely the same as the conventional one, and the description is omitted. Dehumidification luck
The water condensed on the evaporator 1 due to the rotation is drained from the drain pan 9.
It is stored in the drain tank 10 through the mouth 8.

The water stored in the drain tank 10 is a water level table.
The indicating plate 16 makes the water level clear. With rising water level
Float 13 floats up and is attached to the float 13
A predetermined distance between the magnet 14 and the reed switch 15
The dehumidification operation is automatically stopped when it is more than this distance to prevent water overflow.
Stop. When discarding the stored water, remove the drain tank 10
Take it out of the dehumidifier body 21, hold the handle 17 and discard it.
To the place where the water level is displayed.
Of the water surface by the horizontal anti-sway plate 22
Can be added to prevent water spills. Furthermore, Han
The holding of the dollar 17 is provided integrally with the upper end of the water level display plate 16.
By using the girder anti-swing plate 22, the handle
There is no need to provide a separate boss, etc.
Can be simplified.

[0011]

As described above, according to the present invention, drainage
When removing the tank or carrying water when discarding water,
The movement prevention plate prevents the water surface from oscillating.
Water can be prevented from leaking from the
The receiving part of the steering handle with the swing prevention plate
There is no need to separately provide a boss or the like for holding the handle ,
The configuration can be simplified.
