Abstract
Dehumidifier housing including a lower housing having a barrier part fitted vertically between a compressor and a water tank inside of a cabinet, a drain part formed in a horizontal direction above the barrier part for collecting condensate dehumidified at a heat exchanger and draining the water tank, and sidewalls formed at both sides of the barrier part and the drain part in a front and rear direction and supported on an inside of the cabinet, an upper housing having an orifice part with an air flow hole in a central portion, and a rim part around the orifice part in front and rear direction and supported on an inside of the cabinet, and coupling means for coupling the lower housing and the upper housing, thereby enhancing rigidity and dehumidifying effect.
Claims16
A dehumidifier housing comprising:
- a cabinet having an inside;
- a lower housing including
- a barrier part fitted vertically between a compressor section and a water tank section within the inside of the cabinet,
- a drain part formed in a horizontal direction above the barrier part for collecting condensate dehumidified at a heat exchanger section and for draining the water tank section, and
- sidewalls formed at both sides of the barrier part and the drain part portion in a front and rear direction and positioned along the inside of the cabinet;
- an upper housing including
- an orifice part having an air flow hole in a central portion, and
- a rim part around the orifice part in front and rear direction, said orifice part being positioned within the inside of the cabinet;
- and
- means for coupling the lower housing and the upper housing.
A dehumidifier housing comprising:
- a cabinet having an inside;
- a lower housing including
- a barrier part fitted vertically between a compressor section and a water tank section within the inside of the cabinet, and
- a drain part formed on an upper portion of the barrier part in a horizontal direction for collecting condensate dropped from a heat exchanger section and draining to the water tank section;
- and
- an upper housing including
- a shroud part extending from the upper portion of the barrier part in a vertical direction and having an air flow hole at a central portion thereof for mounting a fan, and
- a motor fixing part projected from the air flow hole in the shroud part in a radial form for fixing a motor of the fan thereto,
- wherein the upper housing and the lower housing are formed as one unit.
A dehumidifier comprising:
- a compressor;
- a heat exchanger;
- a fan and a motor;
- a water tank;
- a cabinet having an interior, said compressor, said heat exchanger, said fan and said motor and said water tank being positioned within the interior of the cabinet;
- a lower dehumidifier housing including
- a barrier portion fitted vertically between a compressor and the water tank within the interior of the cabinet, and
- a drain part formed on an upper portion of the barrier part in a horizontal direction for collecting condensate falling from the heat exchanger and draining to the water tank;
- and
- an upper housing including
- a shroud part extending from the upper portion of the barrier part in a vertical direction and having an air flow hole at a central portion thereof mounting the fan, and
- a motor fixing part projected from the air flow hole in the shroud part in a radial form and fixing the motor of the fan thereto, wherein the upper housing and the lower housing are formed as one-piece, molded unit.
