Dehumidifier

Abstract

A dehumidifier according to an embodiment comprises: a dehumidifier main body provided with a suction port for suctioning air and a discharge port for discharging dehumidified air to the outside; an evaporator disposed in the dehumidifier main body and removing moisture in the air suctioned through the suction port; and a compressor connected to the evaporator inside the dehumidifier main body and compressing a refrigerant for exchanging heat with the air inside the evaporator, wherein dehumidified water can be generated on the surface of the evaporator, and removed therefrom by means of the vibration of the compressor.

1 . A dehumidifier comprising:
 a dehumidifier body having an inlet through which air is suctioned and an outlet through which dehumidified air is discharged to an outside;   an evaporator disposed in the dehumidifier body to remove moisture in the air suctioned through the inlet; and   a compressor connected to the evaporator in the dehumidifier body to compress a refrigerant for exchanging heat with the air in the evaporator,   wherein dehumidification water is generated on a surface of the evaporator and   the dehumidification water is removed from the surface of the evaporator due to a vibration of the compressor.   
     
     
         2 . The dehumidifier of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a housing configured to accommodate the evaporator and the compressor therein,   wherein the housing is attached to a bottom surface of the dehumidifier body.   
     
     
         3 . The dehumidifier of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a vibration absorbing member disposed in the dehumidifier body to absorb the vibration generated in the compressor,   wherein the vibration absorbing member comprises:   a damper configured to connect a lower surface of the housing and the bottom surface of the dehumidifier body;   a grommet spaced apart from the damper, the lower surface of the housing being located therebetween; and   a fixing element configured to fix the compressor in the housing, and   the vibration is absorbed by the damper or the grommet.   
     
     
         4 . The dehumidifier of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a vibration transfer member configured to transfer the vibration generated in the compressor to the evaporator,   wherein the vibration transfer member comprises the housing or a refrigerant line configured to connect the compressor and the evaporator.   
     
     
         5 . The dehumidifier of  claim 2 , wherein a dehumidification water tray is disposed below the evaporator in the housing and
 the dehumidification water moves from a surface of the evaporator toward the dehumidification water tray.   
     
     
         6 . The dehumidifier of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a condenser disposed in the housing to be spaced apart from the evaporator in parallel to an exhaust direction.   
     
     
         7 . A dehumidifier comprising:
 a dehumidifier body having an inlet through which air is suctioned and an outlet through which dehumidified air is discharged to an outside;   a housing mounted in the dehumidifier body;   an evaporator disposed in an upper part of the housing to remove moisture in air suctioned from the outside; and   a compressor disposed in a lower part of the housing to compress a refrigerant for exchanging heat with the air in the evaporator,   wherein the evaporator and the compressor are connected to each other such that a vibration generated in the compressor is transferred to the evaporator.   
     
     
         8 . The dehumidifier of  claim 7 , wherein the dehumidifier body comprises:
 a damper configured to connect a lower surface of the housing and a bottom surface of the dehumidifier body;   a grommet spaced apart from the damper, the lower surface of the housing being located therebetween; and   a fixing element configured to extend from an inner surface of the housing toward a side surface of the compressor through the grommet,   wherein the damper or the grommet is configured to absorb the vibration generated in the compressor.   
     
     
         9 . The dehumidifier of  claim 7 , wherein dehumidification water is generated on a surface of the evaporator and
 the vibration of the compressor is transferred to the evaporator such that the dehumidification water is removed from the surface of the evaporator.
