Description

本発明は、除湿装置の本体から発生するドレン水を集めて貯水するとともに、満水時には本体から引き出して運搬し、排水を行なう除湿装置の排水タンクに関する。   The present invention relates to a drainage tank of a dehumidifying device that collects and stores drain water generated from a main body of a dehumidifying device and draws out and transports the drain water from the main body when the water is full.

従来のこの種の除湿装置の排水タンクは、排水時に着脱する小蓋を設けたものが知られている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   As a conventional drainage tank of this type of dehumidifying apparatus, a tank provided with a small lid that is attached and detached during drainage is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

図１２〜図１４に示すように、除湿装置の本体１０１は送風装置１１０、蒸発器１１１、凝縮器１１２などからなる冷凍サイクル１１３の動作によって、蒸発器１１１が冷えて結露することで除湿する。この除湿水を集めて排水タンク１０２に導くドレンパン１０７が蒸発器１１１と排水タンク１０２の間に位置している。排水タンク１０２は除湿装置の本体１０１に着脱可能に収納され、排水タンク１０２の開口する上面には、排水口１０３を有する大蓋１０４が取り付けられ、排水口１０３を開閉するための小蓋１０５が着脱可能に係合している。大蓋１０４または小蓋１０５には、本体１０１から滴下するドレン水を排水タンク１０２内に誘導するドレン孔１０６が設けられている。排水タンク１０２に溜まった貯水を排水するときは、大蓋１０４に設けた小蓋１０５を外して、両手で一方に傾けることにより、貯水を放出できるものである。   As shown in FIGS. 12 to 14, the main body 101 of the dehumidifying device dehumidifies when the evaporator 111 is cooled and condensed by the operation of the refrigeration cycle 113 including the blower 110, the evaporator 111, and the condenser 112. A drain pan 107 that collects the dehumidified water and guides it to the drain tank 102 is located between the evaporator 111 and the drain tank 102. The drainage tank 102 is detachably housed in the main body 101 of the dehumidifying device. A large lid 104 having a drainage port 103 is attached to the upper surface of the drainage tank 102 and a small lid 105 for opening and closing the drainage port 103 is provided. It is detachably engaged. The large lid 104 or the small lid 105 is provided with a drain hole 106 that guides drain water dripping from the main body 101 into the drainage tank 102. When draining the water stored in the drain tank 102, the small lid 105 provided on the large lid 104 is removed, and the water can be discharged by tilting it to one side with both hands.

また、排水タンク１０２には底面や側壁から立設するリブ１０２Ａを設けたものが知られている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。   Further, a drain tank 102 provided with a rib 102A standing from the bottom or side wall is known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

図１５に示すように、リブ１０２Ａは、水が溜まった排水タンク１０２を、本体１０１から取り出すときや運ぶときに、水面の揺動によって排水タンク１０２外に貯水が漏出しないように、波立ちを抑制するものである。   As shown in FIG. 15, the rib 102 </ b> A suppresses ripples so that the stored water does not leak out of the drainage tank 102 due to rocking of the water surface when the drainage tank 102 in which water has accumulated is taken out or carried from the main body 101. To do.

また、排水タンク１０２には取手１０８が設けられたものが知られている（例えば、特許文献３参照）。   Further, a drain tank 102 provided with a handle 108 is known (for example, see Patent Document 3).

図１６に示すように、取手１０８を使用して、排水タンク１０２の本体１０１からの引き出しや、持ち運びを容易にすることができるものである。   As shown in FIG. 16, using the handle 108, the drain tank 102 can be easily pulled out from the main body 101 and carried.

特開２００１−２６３７２２号公報JP 2001-263722 A 特開２００３−９７８２３号公報JP 2003-97823 A 特開２００１−１７９０３５号公報JP 2001-179035 A

本発明は、使い勝手のよい除湿装置の排水タンクを提供することを目的としている。   An object of this invention is to provide the drainage tank of the dehumidification apparatus which is easy to use.

上記した目的を達成するために、本発明が講じた第１の課題解決手段は、ハンドルの回動軸の側面に形成した突起部と、タンクケースの軸孔の上部に形成した補強リブを有し、前記ハンドルを上方に回動したとき、前記回動軸の突起部が前記補強リブに当接したものである。 In order to achieve the above-described object, the first problem-solving means taken by the present invention includes a protrusion formed on the side surface of the rotating shaft of the handle and a reinforcing rib formed on the upper portion of the shaft hole of the tank case. and, when rotating the handle upwards, in which the protruding portion of the rotating shaft comes into contact with the reinforcing rib.

この手段により、通常は排水タンクをハンドルの回転軸または突起部のどちらか一方または双方で支持するが、排水タンクが満水時や衝撃が掛かる時には、排水タンクとハンドルが重量や衝撃の歪みによって変形し、排水タンクをハンドルの回転軸と突起部の双方で支持することとなる。   By this means, the drainage tank is normally supported by either or both of the rotating shaft and protrusion of the handle, but when the drainage tank is full or shocked, the drainage tank and the handle are deformed due to weight or distortion of the impact. Thus, the drainage tank is supported by both the rotating shaft of the handle and the protrusion.

また、本発明が講じた第２の課題解決手段は、回動軸に設けた突起部の先端部は、回動軸の中心から前記先端部までの距離より大なる曲率半径の曲面または平面を有したものである。   The second problem-solving means provided by the present invention is that the tip of the protrusion provided on the rotating shaft has a curved surface or plane having a radius of curvature greater than the distance from the center of the rotating shaft to the tip. I have it.

この手段により、排水タンクが満水の時に、補強リブの平面と接触する突起部の先端部が回転軸半径より大きいので、ハンドルが垂直方向から回転すると元の垂直方向に戻ろうとする力が発生するため、排水タンクが揺れるのを防ぐこととなる。また、排水タンクの重量の増加に伴い、戻ろうとする力の作用は大きなリ、より安定することとなる。   By this means, when the drainage tank is full, the tip of the projection that contacts the flat surface of the reinforcing rib is larger than the rotation axis radius, so that when the handle rotates from the vertical direction, a force to return to the original vertical direction is generated. Therefore, the drain tank is prevented from shaking. In addition, as the weight of the drainage tank increases, the action of the force to return becomes larger and more stable.

また、本発明が講じた第３の課題解決手段は、補強リブに下向きの凹部を形成し、この凹部に回動軸の突起部の先端部が係合可能としたものである。   The third problem-solving means taken by the present invention is to form a downward concave portion in the reinforcing rib so that the tip end portion of the protruding portion of the rotating shaft can be engaged with the concave portion.

この手段により、ハンドルをもって排水タンクを持つと、補強リブの凹形状に突起部の先端部が係合し、排水タンクが揺れるのを防ぐこととなる。また、排水タンクの重量の増加に伴ない係合の作用は大きなリ、より安定することとなる。   By this means, when the drainage tank is held with the handle, the tip of the protrusion is engaged with the concave shape of the reinforcing rib to prevent the drainage tank from shaking. In addition, the engagement action with the increase of the weight of the drainage tank is greatly stabilized.

また、本発明が講じた第４の課題解決手段は、ハンドルの回動軸の中心に***部を形成し、この***部に嵌入可能な補強金具を設けたものである。   A fourth problem solving means provided by the present invention is that a small hole is formed at the center of the rotation shaft of the handle, and a reinforcing metal fitting that can be fitted into the small hole is provided.

この手段により、ハンドルの軸に加わる設定荷重の変化に対応して、補強金具にて補強できることとなる。   By this means, it is possible to reinforce with the reinforcing metal fittings corresponding to the change of the set load applied to the handle shaft.

また、本発明が講じた第５の課題解決手段は、蓋に規制リブを設け、ハンドルを前記蓋の上面に倒したときは、前記規制リブがハンドルの取手部以外の付属部に近接することにより、前記付属部を持ち上げにくくし、前記ハンドルの取手部のみを持ち上げ易くしたものである。   Further, the fifth problem solving means provided by the present invention is that a restriction rib is provided on the lid, and when the handle is tilted to the upper surface of the lid, the restriction rib is close to an attachment other than the handle portion of the handle. Thus, it is difficult to lift the attachment part, and only the handle part of the handle is easily lifted.

この手段により、ハンドルを蓋の上面に倒したときは、規制リブがハンドルの取手部以外の付属部に近接することにより、前記付属部を持ち上げにくくなり、前記ハンドルの取手部のみを持ち上げることが容易となる。   By this means, when the handle is tilted to the upper surface of the lid, the restricting ribs are close to the attachments other than the handle part of the handle, making it difficult to lift the attachment part and lifting only the handle part of the handle. It becomes easy.

本願発明は、かかる構成とすることにより以下に記載されるような効果を奏するものである。   By adopting such a configuration, the present invention has the following effects.

また、排水タンクに負荷がかかる場合に支持箇所が増え支持強度を向上することができる。   Further, when the load is applied to the drainage tank, the number of support points increases and the support strength can be improved.

また、通常は回転可能であるが、排水タンクに水が貯まり重くなるにしたがって、回転を抑制して排水タンクを安定して持つことができる。   Moreover, although it can rotate normally, as water accumulates and becomes heavy in a drainage tank, rotation can be suppressed and a drainage tank can be held stably.

また、設計重量の変化に応じ、同一のハンドルにて対応することができる。   Moreover, it can respond with the same handle according to the change of design weight.

また、誤ってハンドルの取手部以外を持つことを避けることができる。   Further, it is possible to avoid accidentally holding the handle other than the handle part.

（前提例）
図１〜図６に示すように、除湿装置の本体１０１は送風装置（図示せず）、蒸発器１１１などからなる冷凍サイクル１１３の動作によって、蒸発器１１１が冷えて結露することで除湿する。この除湿水を集めて排水タンク１に導くドレンパン１０７が、蒸発器１１１と排水タンク１の間に構成される。排水タンク１は、上部に開口部２を有するタンクケース３と、開口部２を覆う蓋５を着脱可能に設けている。 (Assumption example)
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the main body 101 of the dehumidifying device is dehumidified when the evaporator 111 is cooled and condensed by the operation of a refrigeration cycle 113 including a blower (not shown) and the evaporator 111. A drain pan 107 that collects the dehumidified water and guides it to the drain tank 1 is configured between the evaporator 111 and the drain tank 1. The drain tank 1 is provided with a tank case 3 having an opening 2 at the top and a lid 5 that covers the opening 2 in a detachable manner.

ドレンパン１０７の下に配置されるタンクケース３の開口部２の形状は、平面で透視すると蒸発器１１１の下面全体の大きさを略覆う形状をなし、蒸発器１１１で冷やされたドレンパン１０７の裏側から滴下するドレン水を受けることのできる形状としている。   The shape of the opening 2 of the tank case 3 disposed under the drain pan 107 is a shape that substantially covers the entire size of the lower surface of the evaporator 111 when seen through a plane, and the back side of the drain pan 107 cooled by the evaporator 111. It is set as the shape which can receive the drain water dripped from.

また、図３および図４に示すように、タンクケース３の左側面に平面状の平側壁６を設け、この平側壁６に延設してタンクケース裏面７から突起する排水凸部８を一体に形成している。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a flat flat side wall 6 is provided on the left side surface of the tank case 3, and a drainage convex portion 8 extending from the flat side wall 6 and protruding from the back surface 7 of the tank case is integrated. Is formed.

また、図１〜図３に示すように、蓋５の外周に設けたタンクケース３の上端辺に着脱可能に係合する溝部９と、排水凸部８に対応して蓋５に設けた蓋凸部１０を有し、この蓋凸部１０を横断するヒンジ部１１を形成するとともに、蓋凸部１０に溝部９を設け、排水凸部８の上方を開閉可能とする。また、ドレンパン１０７に蓋凸部１０を閉めるガイド１２を設けている。   Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, the groove | channel part 9 which engages with the upper end side of the tank case 3 provided in the outer periphery of the lid | cover 5 so that attachment or detachment is possible, and the lid | cover provided in the lid | cover 5 corresponding to the drainage convex part 8 A convex portion 10 is formed, a hinge portion 11 is formed across the lid convex portion 10, and a groove portion 9 is provided in the lid convex portion 10 so that the drain convex portion 8 can be opened and closed. Further, the drain pan 107 is provided with a guide 12 for closing the lid convex portion 10.

また、図５に示すように、蓋５に形成するドレン孔４の位置を、着脱方向に対して蓋５の中央より手前側に設けて、ドレン孔４からの水滴飛散を防止できるようにしている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the position of the drain hole 4 formed in the lid 5 is provided in front of the center of the lid 5 with respect to the attaching / detaching direction so that water droplets can be prevented from scattering from the drain hole 4. Yes.

また、図６に示すように、排水凸部８の底面を排水底面１３となし、この排水底面１３をタンクケース３の底面より上方に形成し、排水底面１３とタンクケース３の底面の間に曲面部１４を設ける構成としている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the bottom surface of the drainage convex portion 8 is formed as the drainage bottom surface 13, the drainage bottom surface 13 is formed above the bottom surface of the tank case 3, and between the drainage bottom surface 13 and the bottom surface of the tank case 3. The curved surface portion 14 is provided.

上記構成において、蒸発器１１１にて発生した除湿水と、蒸発器１１１にて冷やされてドレンパン１０７の下面が結露しやすい状態となる。とくに蒸発器１１１の下部に近接または当接するドレンパン１０７の下面で結露して、水滴となったドレン水が滴下するが、蒸発器１１１の下面全体をほぼ覆うようにタンクケース３の開口部２で受けているので、滴下したドレン水は排水タンク１内に回収することができる。   In the above configuration, the dehumidified water generated in the evaporator 111 and the lower surface of the drain pan 107 are easily dewed by being cooled by the evaporator 111. In particular, dew condensation is formed on the lower surface of the drain pan 107 that is close to or in contact with the lower portion of the evaporator 111, and the drain water is dripped. However, the opening 2 of the tank case 3 substantially covers the entire lower surface of the evaporator 111. Since it is received, the dripped drain water can be collected in the drain tank 1.

また、蒸発器１１１の下のドレンパン１０７のドレン水を回収する開口部２の一部を排水凸部８としているので、形状的に排水口を認識しやすく、圧縮機の側面の空間を排水凸部８に利用でき、図４のように排水時に排水凸部８を下にしたときに、タンクケース３に水の溜まる箇所がなく、矢印のように排水凸部８以外から水が出ることなく、スムースに排水することができる。   In addition, since the drainage convex portion 8 is a part of the opening 2 for collecting drain water of the drain pan 107 under the evaporator 111, the drainage port can be easily recognized in shape, and the space on the side surface of the compressor can be When the drainage convex portion 8 is lowered at the time of drainage as shown in FIG. 4, the tank case 3 has no place where water accumulates and water does not come out from other than the drainage convex portion 8 as indicated by an arrow. Can be drained smoothly.

また、蓋凸部１０を閉めた状態においては、蓋凸部１０をヒンジ部１１と溝部９で確実に固定できるので、蓋凸部１０からは水が漏れないようになる。さらに、蓋凸部１０を開けた状態においては、ヒンジ部１１で蓋５と一体となっているので、従来に比べて、蓋部分が落ちたり外れることなく、便利に排水できることとなる。   Further, in the state where the lid convex portion 10 is closed, the lid convex portion 10 can be reliably fixed by the hinge portion 11 and the groove portion 9, so that water does not leak from the lid convex portion 10. Furthermore, in the state where the lid convex portion 10 is opened, the hinge portion 11 is integrated with the lid 5, so that the drainage can be conveniently performed without dropping or removing the lid portion as compared with the conventional case.

また、蓋凸部１０が完全に閉じていない状態で排水タンク１が除湿装置の本体１０１に挿入された場合、蓋凸部１０の上面がガイド１２の傾斜した曲面に沿って押し下げられるので、蓋凸部１０は排水凸部８の上面を確実に閉じることができ、排水凸部８から水漏れを起こさないようにできる。同時に、排水タンク１が本体１０１に挿入された後に、不可抗力による振動などがあっても、蓋凸部１０が浮き上がらないようにガイド１２により押さえられ、水漏れを起こすことがない。さらに、蓋凸部１０が他の部分に引っ掛かり排水タンク１が外れにくくなることも防ぐことができる。   Further, when the drainage tank 1 is inserted into the main body 101 of the dehumidifying device in a state where the lid convex portion 10 is not completely closed, the upper surface of the lid convex portion 10 is pushed down along the inclined curved surface of the guide 12. The convex portion 10 can reliably close the upper surface of the drainage convex portion 8 and can prevent water leakage from the drainage convex portion 8. At the same time, even if there is vibration due to force majeure after the drain tank 1 is inserted into the main body 101, the lid convex portion 10 is pressed by the guide 12 so as not to float up, and water leakage does not occur. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the lid convex portion 10 from being caught by another portion and the drainage tank 1 from becoming difficult to come off.

次に、蓋５に形成するドレン孔４の位置を、着脱方向に対して蓋５の中央より手前側に設けているので、ドレン孔４がタンクケース裏面７から距離を保つことができるため、排水タンク１を引出す時に、タンクケース裏面７に当たって跳ね上がる水がドレン孔４から飛び出すのを抑えることができる。また、タンク中央部付近のため、持ち運ぶときもドレン孔４から水飛びを抑えることができる。   Next, since the position of the drain hole 4 formed in the lid 5 is provided on the near side from the center of the lid 5 with respect to the attaching / detaching direction, the drain hole 4 can keep a distance from the tank case back surface 7. When the drainage tank 1 is pulled out, it is possible to prevent the water splashing up against the tank case back surface 7 from jumping out from the drain hole 4. Moreover, since it is near the center of the tank, it is possible to suppress water splashing from the drain hole 4 even when it is carried.

さらに、本実施の形態では、ドレン孔４の位置を、蓋凸部１０の後方に設けているので、タンク壁面が引出し方向に対し垂直でないため跳ね返りの方向をずらすとともに、壁との距離も離れるため、ドレン孔４から水飛びしにくくできる。   Furthermore, in this embodiment, since the drain hole 4 is provided behind the lid convex portion 10, the tank wall surface is not perpendicular to the pull-out direction, so that the rebound direction is shifted and the distance from the wall is also increased. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for water to escape from the drain hole 4.

また、排水凸部８の底面を排水底面１３となし、この排水底面１３をタンクケース３の底面より上方に形成ししているので、排水タンク１を床などの平面に置いたときでも、排水底面１３が床面より浮いた位置にあるので、手を入れて排水タンク１を持ちやすくなる。   Further, since the bottom surface of the drainage convex portion 8 is formed as the drainage bottom surface 13 and the drainage bottom surface 13 is formed above the bottom surface of the tank case 3, even when the drainage tank 1 is placed on a flat surface such as a floor, Since the bottom surface 13 is at a position floating from the floor surface, it is easy to put the hand and hold the drain tank 1.

また、排水底面１３とタンクケース３の底面の間に正接する曲面部１４を設けることで、排水タンク１を本体１０１に挿入するとき、上下方向のクリアランスが大きいため挿入しやすく、底面が正接曲面または傾斜面になっているのでそのまま滑らせて挿入することで徐々に位置規制され嵌ることができる。   Further, by providing a curved surface portion 14 that is tangent between the drain bottom surface 13 and the bottom surface of the tank case 3, when the drain tank 1 is inserted into the main body 101, the bottom surface is a tangent curved surface because the clearance in the vertical direction is large. Or since it is an inclined surface, the position can be gradually regulated and fitted by sliding it as it is.

（実施の形態１）
図７〜図１１に示すように、ハンドル１６の回動軸１７の側面に形成した突起部１８と、タンクケース３の軸孔１５の上部に形成した補強リブ１９を有し、ハンドル１６を上方に回動したとき、回動軸１７の突起部１８が補強リブ１９に近接している。 (Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIGS. 7-11, it has the protrusion 18 formed in the side surface of the rotating shaft 17 of the handle 16, and the reinforcing rib 19 formed in the upper part of the shaft hole 15 of the tank case 3, , The protrusion 18 of the rotating shaft 17 is close to the reinforcing rib 19.

また、図８に示すように、回動軸１７に設けた突起部１８の先端部２０は、回動軸１７の中心から先端部２０までの距離より大なる曲率半径の曲面としている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the tip 20 of the protrusion 18 provided on the rotating shaft 17 is a curved surface having a radius of curvature larger than the distance from the center of the rotating shaft 17 to the tip 20.

また、図９に示すように、補強リブ１９に下向きの凹部２１を形成し、この凹部２１に回動軸１７の突起部１８の先端部２０が係合可能としている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a downward recess 21 is formed in the reinforcing rib 19, and the tip 20 of the protrusion 18 of the rotating shaft 17 can be engaged with the recess 21.

また、図１０に示すように、ハンドル１６の回動軸１７の中心に***部２２を形成し、この***部２２に嵌入可能な補強金具２３を設けている。   As shown in FIG. 10, a small hole portion 22 is formed at the center of the rotation shaft 17 of the handle 16, and a reinforcing metal fitting 23 that can be fitted into the small hole portion 22 is provided.

また、図１１に示すように、蓋５に規制リブ２４を設け、ハンドル１６を蓋５の上面に倒したときは、規制リブ２４がハンドル１６の取手部２５以外の付属部２６に近接することにより、付属部２６を持ち上げにくくし、ハンドル１６の取手部２５のみを持ち上げ易くしている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 11, when the regulation rib 24 is provided on the lid 5 and the handle 16 is tilted to the upper surface of the lid 5, the regulation rib 24 is close to the attachment portion 26 other than the handle portion 25 of the handle 16. This makes it difficult to lift the attachment 26 and makes it easy to lift only the handle 25 of the handle 16.

上記構成において、通常は排水タンク１をハンドル１６の突起部１８で支持する。しかし、満水時や衝撃が掛かる時には排水タンク１とハンドル１６が歪みによって変形し、排水タンク１をハンドル１６の回動軸１７と突起部１８の双方で支持する。そして、負荷が増加したときには支持箇所が増え応力を分散することで強度を増すことができる。   In the above configuration, the drain tank 1 is normally supported by the protrusion 18 of the handle 16. However, when the water is full or an impact is applied, the drain tank 1 and the handle 16 are deformed due to distortion, and the drain tank 1 is supported by both the rotating shaft 17 and the protrusion 18 of the handle 16. And when load increases, a support location increases and an intensity | strength can be increased by disperse | distributing stress.

また、回動軸１７に設けた突起部１８の先端部２０が、回動軸１７の中心から先端部２０までの距離より大なる曲率半径の曲面としているので、排水タンク１が満水の時に、補強リブ１９の平面と接触する突起部１８の先端部２０が回転軸半径より大きいので、ハンドル１６が垂直方向から回転すると元の垂直方向に戻ろうとする力Ａが発生するため、ハンドル１６は緩やかに垂直に固定され、排水タンク１が揺れるのを防ぐこととなる。ここで、排水タンク１の重量の増加とともに作用は大きなり、より安定して取り扱うことができる。   In addition, since the tip 20 of the protrusion 18 provided on the rotating shaft 17 is a curved surface having a radius of curvature larger than the distance from the center of the rotating shaft 17 to the tip 20, when the drain tank 1 is full, Since the tip portion 20 of the projection 18 that contacts the flat surface of the reinforcing rib 19 is larger than the radius of the rotation axis, when the handle 16 rotates from the vertical direction, a force A is generated to return to the original vertical direction. The drain tank 1 is prevented from shaking. Here, the action increases as the weight of the drain tank 1 increases, and it can be handled more stably.

また、図９に示すように、補強リブ１９に下向きの凹部２１を形成し、この凹部２１に回動軸１７の突起部１８の先端部２０が係合可能としたものでも、同様に、ハンドル１６は緩やかに垂直に固定され、排水タンク１が揺れるのを防ぐこととなる。ここで、排水タンク１の重量の増加とともに作用は大きなり、より安定して取り扱うことができる。   Further, as shown in FIG. 9, even if a concave portion 21 is formed on the reinforcing rib 19 so that the tip portion 20 of the projection portion 18 of the rotating shaft 17 can be engaged with the concave portion 21, the handle 21 is similarly formed. 16 is gently fixed vertically to prevent the drain tank 1 from shaking. Here, the action increases as the weight of the drain tank 1 increases, and it can be handled more stably.

また、ハンドル１６の回動軸１７の中心に形成した***部２２に補強金具２３を嵌入しているので、ハンドル１６の軸に加わる設定荷重の変化に伴って補強金具２３にて補強することができる。   Further, since the reinforcing metal fitting 23 is inserted into the small hole portion 22 formed at the center of the rotating shaft 17 of the handle 16, it can be reinforced with the reinforcing metal fitting 23 in accordance with a change in the set load applied to the shaft of the handle 16. it can.

また、ハンドル１６を蓋５の上面に倒したときは、規制リブ２４の働きで付属部２６を持ち上げにくくし、ハンドル１６の取手部２５のみを持ち上げ易くしているので、強度やデザインや構造上などの要因で設けた取手部２５以外の付属部２６を持つような誤使用を防ぐことができ、ハンドル１６を正しく持つことを促すことができる。   Further, when the handle 16 is tilted to the upper surface of the lid 5, the restricting rib 24 makes it difficult to lift the appendage 26 and only the handle 25 of the handle 16 is easily lifted. It is possible to prevent erroneous use such as having an attachment portion 26 other than the handle portion 25 provided due to factors such as the above, and to promptly hold the handle 16.

なお、本実施の形態では冷凍サイクルを用いた除湿装置を用いたが、シリカゲル、ゼオライトなどの無機質の吸着型吸湿剤を用いた除湿装置や、冷凍サイクルと吸着型吸湿剤を組み合わせた除湿装置を用いてもよい。   In this embodiment, a dehumidifier using a refrigeration cycle is used. However, a dehumidifier using an inorganic adsorption-type hygroscopic agent such as silica gel or zeolite, or a dehumidification apparatus combining a refrigeration cycle and an adsorption-type hygroscopic agent is used. It may be used.

また、冷凍サイクルの冷媒としては、ＨＣＦＣ系冷媒（分子中に塩素、水素、フッ素、炭素の各原子を含む）、ＨＦＣ系冷媒（分子中に水素、炭素、フッ素の各原子を含む）、炭化水素、二酸化炭素等を用いることができる。   In addition, refrigerants for the refrigeration cycle include HCFC refrigerants (including chlorine, hydrogen, fluorine, and carbon atoms in the molecule), HFC refrigerants (including hydrogen, carbon, and fluorine atoms in the molecule), carbonization Hydrogen, carbon dioxide, or the like can be used.

以上のように本発明にかかる除湿装置の排水タンクは、簡易な構成で水漏れが防止でき、排水作業も容易に行なえ、運搬に使用する取手も便利に操作できるので、ドレン水などが発生する機器より排水タンクに集め、この集めた排水を運搬して放流するための排水タンクの用途に適している。   As described above, the drainage tank of the dehumidifying apparatus according to the present invention can prevent water leakage with a simple configuration, can easily perform drainage work, and can conveniently operate the handle used for transportation, so that drain water is generated. It is suitable for use as a drainage tank for collecting wastewater from equipment and transporting and discharging the collected wastewater.
