[0043] The water tank 1 comprises a water tank body 11 and a cover plate 13. The water tank body 11 is provided with a mist outlet channel 2. The cover plate 13 is arranged on the top of the water tank body 11. The top of the water tank body 11 is the end of the water tank body 11 located at the upper end in the vertical direction. Figure 2 or Figure 6 The CD direction, and the C direction is the vertical upward direction, and the D direction is the vertical downward direction, so the top of the water tank body 11 is the water tank body 11 in Figure 2 or Figure 6The end in the middle C direction; when the cover plate 13 is installed on the water tank body 11, a mist channel 2 is formed between the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 for spraying water mist; the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 are detachably connected, so as to facilitate the injection molding of the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 separately, and compared with the one-piece water tank 1, the method of injection molding the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 separately reduces the difficulty of injection molding of the water tank 1 at the mist outlet channel, thereby improving the convenience of injection molding of the water tank 1 at the mist outlet channel 2; and, since the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 are detachably connected, the assembly and disassembly operation process of the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 is simple and convenient. When the water tank 1 is maintained in the later stage, the maintenance personnel can maintain and clean the mist outlet channel 2 and the water tank by removing the cover plate 13 to ensure the health of the user and improve the safety of the water tank 1 when in use.

[0044] Optionally, combined Figure 2-Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the cover 13 includes an integrally formed cover body 131 and an insert 132, the insert 132 is arranged on the side of the cover body 131 facing the water tank body 11; the insert 132 is annular, and the insert 132 and the cover body 131 form a first groove 22; a second groove 23 is provided on the water tank body 11, and the notch of the second groove 23 faces the cover body 131; when the cover 13 is installed on the water tank body 11, the first groove 22 and the second groove 23 are combined into a mist outlet channel 2, and the insert 132 is inserted into the second groove 23 and fits with the groove wall of the second groove 23.

[0045] An insert strip 132 is convexly provided around the edge of the cover body 131 on one side facing the water tank body 11, and the insert strip 132 is annular. The annular insert strip 132 and the cover body 131 form a first groove 22. Specifically, the cover body 131 serves as the groove bottom of the first groove 22, and the insert strip 132 serves as the groove wall of the first groove 22. A second groove 23 is provided on the water tank body 11 for plugging and matching with the insert strip 132. The notch of the second groove 23 faces the cover 13, and the shape of the groove wall of the second groove 23 at the plug-in matching position with the insert strip 132 is adapted to the shape of the insert strip 132, so as to facilitate the insertion of the insert strip 132 into the second groove 23. Specifically, the second groove 23 is a cavity structure on the water tank body 11. When the first groove 22 and the second groove 23 are installed on the water tank body 11, the insertion strip 132 is inserted into the second groove 23. At this time, the first groove 22 and the second groove 23 are combined into a mist outlet channel 2 with only two openings for spraying water mist; and the insertion strip 132 is fitted with the groove wall of the second groove 23 where the insertion strip 132 is plugged in, that is, the outer peripheral side wall of the annular insertion strip 132 is fitted with the groove wall where the insertion strip 132 is plugged in. In this way, the water tank body 11 limits the insertion strip 132 in the horizontal plane direction, and then limits the cover plate 13 in the horizontal plane direction, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11, and ensuring the sealing performance of the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11 at the connection.

[0046] Optionally, in contrast to the above-mentioned inserting strip 132 being arranged on the cover plate 13, a ring-shaped inserting strip 132 may also be arranged on the water tank body 11. Specifically, the inserting strip 132 is arranged on the top of the water tank body 11, that is, the inserting strip 132 is arranged on the water tank body 11 in the vertical direction (i.e. Figure 2 or Figure 6 CD direction) is located above (vertically upward, i.e. Figure 2 or Figure 6 The end of the inserting strip 132 is arranged in the direction of the center C, and the setting position of the inserting strip 132 corresponds to the position of the cover plate 13; a ring-shaped slot adapted to the inserting strip 132 is provided on the cover plate body 131 of the cover plate 13 on the side facing the water tank body 11; the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11 are detachably connected by plugging and fitting the inserting strip 132 into the ring-shaped slot.

[0047] Optionally, combined Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a sealing boss 133 and one of the sealing grooves 112 are provided on the cover plate 13 on the side facing the water tank body 11, and the other of the sealing boss 133 and the sealing groove 112 is provided at a corresponding position on the water tank body 11. The cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11 form a sealed connection through the plug-in fit of the sealing boss 133 and the sealing groove 112.

[0048] In addition to the insert strip 132 being provided on the cover plate 13 and being inserted into the second groove 23, a sealing boss 133 and a sealing groove 112 are further provided at the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11; specifically, the sealing boss 133 can be arranged on the cover plate 13, and the sealing groove 112 can be arranged at a position on the water tank body 11 corresponding to the sealing boss 133; or the sealing groove 112 can be arranged on the cover plate 13, and the sealing boss 133 can be arranged at a position on the water tank body 11 corresponding to the sealing groove 112; by the plug-in cooperation between the sealing boss 133 and the sealing groove 112, the stability and sealing of the detachable connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11 are further ensured.

[0049] Optionally, combined Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the sealing groove 112 is an annular groove structure, and the shape of the sealing boss 133 matches the shape of the sealing groove 112; and the orthographic projection of the insert 132 on the horizontal plane falls within the area enclosed by the orthographic projection of the sealing groove 112 or the sealing boss 133 on the horizontal plane.

[0050] The sealing groove 112 is an annular groove structure, and the shape of the sealing boss 133 is adapted to the shape of the sealing groove 112 and is also annular, so as to facilitate the plug-in fit of the sealing boss 133 and the sealing groove 112; after the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11 are connected and assembled, the orthographic projection of the insertion strip 132 on the horizontal plane falls within the area surrounded by the orthographic projection of the sealing groove 112 or the sealing boss 133 on the horizontal plane, so that even if water mist overflows from the connection between the insertion strip 132 and the second groove 23, it will be blocked by the plug-in fit between the sealing boss 133 and the sealing groove 112, thereby avoiding the water mist from overflowing from the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body, ensuring that the water mist is concentrated in the mist outlet channel 2 to circulate, so as to ensure the humidification effect of the humidifier; on the basis of the plug-in fit between the insertion strip 132 and the second groove 23, the setting of the sealing boss 133 and the sealing groove 112 further ensures the stability and sealing of the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11.

[0051] Furthermore, on the basis that the above-mentioned cover plate 13 is provided with an insert strip 132, and the insert strip 132 is inserted into the second groove 23, relative to the thinning of the cover plate 13 at the location where the sealing groove 112 is set due to the setting of the sealing groove 112 on the cover plate 13, in order to ensure the structural strength of the cover plate 13, it is preferred to set the sealing boss 133 on the cover plate 13 and set the sealing groove 112 on the water tank body 11; specifically, the sealing boss 133 is convexly arranged at the edge of the cover plate 13 facing the mist outlet channel 2, and the sealing groove 112 is concavely arranged at a position corresponding to the sealing boss 133 on the water tank body 11; and after the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11 are assembled and connected, the insert strip 132 is located in the area surrounded by the sealing groove 112 or the sealing boss 133. On the basis of the plug-in fit between the insert strip 132 and the second groove 23, the setting of the sealing boss 133 and the sealing groove 112 further ensures the stability and sealing of the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11.

[0052] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 13 includes a straight section 134 and a guide section 135. The straight section 134 and the guide section 135 are integrally formed. The guide section 135 is tilted downward, and the end of the guide section 135 away from the connection with the straight section 134 is located below the straight section 134. A water tank mist outlet 111 is provided on the water tank body 11, and the guide section 135 is located above the water tank mist outlet 111.

[0053] The cover plate 13 is a two-stage design, that is, the cover plate 13 includes an integrally formed straight section 134 and a guide section 135; the straight section 134 and the guide section 135 are both plate-shaped structures, and the angle between the straight section 134 and the guide section 135 is an obtuse angle. Specifically, the end of the guide section 135 away from the straight section 134 is located below the straight section 134, so that the guide section 135 is tilted downward relative to the straight section 134, so that the guide section 135 can guide the spraying of water mist in the mist outlet channel 2. Specifically, the water tank body 11 is provided with a water tank mist outlet 111 as the outlet of the mist outlet channel 2, and the guide section 135 is located above the water tank mist outlet 111 (that is, Figure 2 or Figure 6 Therefore, the guide section 135 guides the water mist passing through the cover plate 13 to the water tank mist outlet 111 below, thereby playing a guiding role.

[0054] Furthermore, the straight section 134 is in the shape of a straight plate, and the guide section 135 is in the shape of a straight plate or an arc-shaped plate; considering the guide effect of the guide section 135 and the stability of the connection between the guide section 135 and the water tank body 11, the guide section 135 is preferably an arc-shaped plate structure; since the portion of the edge of the water tank body 11 connected to the guide section 135 has a certain curvature, the arc-shaped guide section 135 is more adapted to the shape of the top of the water tank 1 (having a certain curvature), thereby improving the aesthetics of the water tank 1, and relative to the straight plate-shaped guide section 135, the arc-shaped guide section 135 increases the contact area between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11 at the connection, thereby facilitating a stable connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11.

[0055] Furthermore, on the basis that the end of the guide section 135 away from the connection with the straight section 134 is located below the straight section 134, the side of the arc-shaped guide section 135 connected to the straight section 134 and the side of the guide section 135 away from its connection with the straight section 134 are both arc-shaped, and the side of the guide section 135 facing the mist outlet channel 2 and the side of the guide section 135 away from the mist outlet channel 2 are both curved surfaces; this arrangement is to ensure the guiding effect of the guide section 135 on the water mist in the mist outlet channel 2; and the arc-shaped guide section 135 has a greater arc structure strength and a stronger supporting capacity than the straight plate-shaped guide section 135, so as to ensure the stability of the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11.

[0056] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, a limit block 136 and one of the limit holes 113 are provided at one end of the straight section 134 away from the connection with the guide section 135, and a limit block 136 and the other of the limit holes 113 are provided at a corresponding position on the water tank body 11, and the limit block 136 is plugged into and matched with the limit hole 113.

[0057] A limit block 136 and a limit hole 113 are provided at the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11. Specifically, the limit block 136 is arranged on one of the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11, and the limit hole 113 is arranged on the other of the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11. That is, in this embodiment, the limit block 136 can be arranged on the cover plate 13, and the limit hole 113 can be arranged at a position on the water tank body 11 corresponding to the limit block 136. The limit hole 113 can also be arranged on the cover plate 13, and the limit block 136 can be arranged at a position on the water tank body 11 corresponding to the limit block 136. The limit blocks 136 are plugged in and matched with each other to ensure the stability of the detachable connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11.

[0058] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 5-Figure 8As shown, multiple limit blocks 136 and limit holes 113 can be set. Multiple limit blocks 136 can be set on the cover plate 13, or on the water tank body 11, or on both the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11. Accordingly, the setting positions of the multiple limit holes 113 correspond to the setting positions of the multiple limit blocks 136. For example, if there is a limit block 136 set on the cover plate 13, then there is a limit hole 113 set at the position of the water tank body 11 corresponding to the limit block 136.

[0059] Furthermore, on the basis that the above-mentioned cover plate 13 includes a straight section 134 and a guide section 135, a limit block 136 or a limit hole 113 is arranged at an end of the straight section 134 away from the connection with the guide section 135; through the plug-in cooperation of the limit block 136 and the limit hole 113, the water tank body 11 limits the cover plate 13. Specifically, after the cover plate 13 is assembled and connected to the water tank body 11, it cannot move in a direction parallel to the side where the limit block 136 or the limit hole 113 on the cover plate 13 is located, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11; and, the stability of the plug-in cooperation between the insert strip 132 and the mist outlet channel 2 or the plug-in cooperation between the sealing boss 133 and the sealing groove 112 is further strengthened, thereby ensuring the sealing of the mist outlet channel 2.

[0060] Optionally, combined Figure 6 As shown, a fixing column 114 is provided in the mist outlet channel 2, that is, the fixing column 114 is arranged on the water tank body 11 and is located in the mist outlet channel 2; a threaded hole 1141 is axially provided on the fixing column 114, a countersunk hole 137 is provided on the cover plate 13, and the countersunk hole 137 is coaxially arranged with the threaded hole 1141, and the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11 are detachably connected at the threaded hole 1141 and the countersunk hole 137 by fasteners.

[0061] A fixing column 114 is provided on the water tank body 11, and a threaded hole 1141 is axially provided on the fixing column 114, and a countersunk hole 137 matched with the threaded hole 1141 is provided on the cover plate 13, that is, the axis of the countersunk hole 137 and the axis of the threaded hole 1141 are located on the same straight line; after the cover plate 13 is assembled and connected to the water tank body 11, fasteners (such as screws) are screwed into the threaded holes 1141 and the countersunk holes 137 to achieve a detachable connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11; by providing the countersunk hole 137, which cooperates with the threaded hole 1141, the stability of the plug-in fit between the insert strip 132 and the mist outlet channel 2 and the stability of the plug-in fit between the sealing boss 133 and the sealing groove 112 are strengthened; and the fixing column 114 plays a certain supporting role on the cover plate 13, ensuring the stability of the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the water tank 1.

[0062] Further, the countersunk hole 137 is formed by a depression at a position corresponding to the threaded hole 1141 on the side of the cover plate 13 facing away from the mist outlet channel 2, so that after a fastener (such as a screw) is screwed into the threaded hole 1141 and the countersunk hole 137, the head of the fastener (the nut of the screw) is hidden in the countersunk hole 137 to avoid the fastener from being moved in the vertical direction (i.e. Figure 6 CD direction) (i.e. Figure 6 The surface of the cover plate 13 is protruding in the middle C direction, thereby preventing the part of the fastener protruding from the cover plate 13 from easily scratching the skin of the installation and maintenance personnel after the cover plate 13 is connected to the water tank body 11 by fasteners. This arrangement ensures the beauty of the humidifier.

[0063] Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the countersunk hole 137 on the horizontal plane is annular, and the cross section of the portion where the fastener is used to connect the countersunk hole 137 and the threaded hole 1141 (in a direction perpendicular to the vertical direction, i.e., perpendicular to the vertical direction) is Figure 6 In the CD direction, the exposed surface area when truncated is slightly smaller than the inner ring area of ​​the ring, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the head part of the fastener is larger than the inner ring area of ​​the ring and smaller than the outer ring area of ​​the ring, so that the fastener can exert its locking function and the head of the fastener can be hidden in the countersunk hole 137.

[0064] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 5-Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the water tank 1 also includes a top cover plate 14, which includes an integrally formed top cover plate body 141 and a first limiting structure 142, and the cover plate 13 includes an integrally formed cover plate body 131 and a second limiting structure 138; the second limiting structure 138 is arranged at a position on the cover plate body 131 corresponding to the first limiting structure 142, and the second limiting structure 138 is arranged perpendicular to the side of the cover plate 13 away from the water tank body 11; when the top cover plate 14 is installed on the water tank body 11, the first limiting structure 142 fits with the second limiting structure 138.

[0065] The top cover plate 14 is spherical and is arranged above the water tank body 11, and is used for dust prevention of the water tank 1 and protection of the water tank body 11; a first limiting structure 142 is convexly provided on the side of the top cover plate body 141 facing the water tank body 11, and a second limiting structure 138 is provided on the side of the cover plate body 131 facing the top cover plate body 141, and the second limiting structure 138 is arranged perpendicular to the side of the cover plate 13 away from the water tank body 11 (that is, the side of the cover plate body 131 facing the top cover plate body 141); the first limiting structure 142 is fitted with the second limiting structure 138, so that when the top cover plate 14 is installed on the water tank body 11, the second limiting structure 138 limits the first limiting structure 142 in the horizontal direction to ensure that the top cover plate 14 is firmly installed on the water tank body 11, so as to realize the dust prevention function of the top cover plate 14 and the protection function of the water tank body 11.

[0066] Furthermore, ribs are protruded from one side of the top cover body 141 facing the water tank body 11 , and the ribs are cross-arranged to ensure the structural strength of the top cover body 141 .

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 5-Figure 7 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 As shown, the second limiting structure 138 is a curved arc-shaped plate-like structure, and the arc-shaped plate-like structure has an inner arc surface 1382 and an outer arc surface 1381 .

[0068] The second limiting structure 138 is an arc-shaped plate-like structure, that is, the orthographic projection of the second limiting structure 138 on the horizontal plane is an arc-shaped to ensure the structural strength of the second limiting structure 138, and the first limiting structure 142 is also an arc-shaped plate-shaped structure to ensure the fitting arrangement of the first limiting structure 142 and the second limiting structure 138; the second limiting structure 138 has an inner arc surface 1382 and an outer arc surface 1381, and the orthographic projections of the inner arc surface 1382 and the outer arc surface 1381 on the horizontal plane are two concentric arcs. Such an arrangement makes the second limiting structure 138 structurally symmetrical, which is convenient for the industrial molding of the second limiting structure 138 of the arc-shaped plate-like structure on the cover plate 13; the design of the second limiting structure 138 with consistent thickness at various locations ensures the structural stability of the second limiting structure 138, and the arrangement of the second limiting structure 138 on the cover plate 13 can also play a certain supporting role for the structure located above the cover plate 13 on the humidifier.

[0069] Furthermore, on the basis of providing a limit block 136 and a limit hole 113 at the connection between the above-mentioned cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11, the limit block 136 and the limit hole 113 are located in the area surrounded by the inner arc surface 1382 on the cover plate 13. At this time, the position of the limit block 136 or the limit hole 113 on the cover plate 13 is on the side of the straight section 134 away from the connection with the guide section 135; the existence of the second limit structure 138 can play a certain protective role on the upper limit block 136 or the limit hole 113 of the cover plate 13. For example, during the production and transportation of the cover plate 13, when the cover plate 13 is hit, the second limit structure 138 can play a certain protective role on the relatively fragile limit block 136 or the limit hole 113 on the cover plate 13.

[0070] Optionally, combined Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the cover plate 13 includes an integrally formed cover plate body 131 and a reinforcing rib 139, and the reinforcing rib 139 is arranged on the side of the cover plate body 131 facing the mist outlet channel 2; the reinforcing rib 139 includes a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 1391 and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 1392, and the plurality of first reinforcing ribs 1391 and the plurality of second reinforcing ribs 1392 are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0071] A reinforcing rib 139 is provided on the side of the cover body 131 facing the mist outlet channel 2, which is used to strengthen the overall structural strength of the cover 13. Specifically, a first reinforcing rib 1391 and a second reinforcing rib 1392 that are perpendicular to each other are provided on the side of the cover body 131 facing the mist outlet channel 2, and multiple first reinforcing ribs 1391 and second reinforcing ribs 1392 are provided to ensure the strength of the cover structure 13, thereby extending the service life of the cover 13.

[0072] Furthermore, the countersunk hole 137 cuts off the first reinforcing rib 1391 and / or the second reinforcing rib 1392 in the horizontal direction, that is, the countersunk hole 137 is located between the two parts into which the first reinforcing rib 1391 and / or the second reinforcing rib 1392 are cut by the countersunk hole 137. Specifically, the countersunk hole 137 can cut off the first reinforcing rib 1391, and the countersunk hole 137 can also cut off the second reinforcing rib 1392, and the countersunk hole 137 can also cut off the first reinforcing rib 1391 and the second reinforcing rib 1392 at the same time (that is, the countersunk hole 137 is located at the intersection of the first reinforcing rib 1391 and the second reinforcing rib 1392).

[0073] Further, on the basis of the sink hole 137 being provided on the cover plate 13, the end of the sink hole 137 facing the mist outlet channel 2 is located at a position corresponding to the threaded hole 1141 on the side of the cover plate 13 facing the mist outlet channel 2 in the vertical direction upward (i.e. Figure 6The cover plate 13 is formed with a depression (in the middle C direction) for inserting the fixing column 114 to further strengthen the stability of the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11. Specifically, after the fixing column 114 is inserted into the countersunk hole 137, the countersunk hole 137 limits the fixing column 114 in the horizontal direction, thereby realizing the positioning and limiting of the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11; and by screwing fasteners into the threaded holes 1141 on the countersunk hole 137 and the fixing column 114, the positioning and limiting function of the connection between the cover plate 13 and the water tank body 11 is further strengthened. After the cover plate 13 is assembled and connected to the water tank body 11, the two parts of the first reinforcing rib 1391 and / or the second reinforcing rib 1392 that are cut off by the countersunk hole 137 clamp the fixing column 114, ensuring the stability of the connection between the fixing column 114 and the countersunk hole 137.

[0074] Optionally, combined Figure 8 As shown, the multiple first reinforcing ribs 1391 and the multiple second reinforcing ribs 1392 can also be cross-arranged, which is different from the multiple first reinforcing ribs 1391 and the multiple second reinforcing ribs 1392 being vertically arranged. The angle between the first reinforcing ribs 1391 and the second reinforcing ribs 1392 can also be an acute angle or an obtuse angle to ensure the strength of the cover plate 13 structure. In order to ensure the beauty of the cover plate 13 and facilitate the production of the cover plate 13, the angle between the multiple first reinforcing ribs 1391 and the multiple second reinforcing ribs 1392 is preferably the same angle.

[0075] The present invention also provides a humidifier, comprising the water tank 1 mentioned above.

[0076] The humidifier in this embodiment is provided with a cover plate 13 detachably connected to the water tank body 11 on the water tank 1, so as to facilitate the manufacture of the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 by injection molding separately; and compared with the integrally formed water tank 1, the method of injection molding the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 separately reduces the difficulty of injection molding the water tank 1 at the mist outlet channel, thereby improving the convenience of injection molding the water tank 1 at the mist outlet channel 2; and, since the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 are detachably connected, the assembly and disassembly operation process of the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 is simple and convenient. When the water tank 1 is maintained at a later stage, the maintenance personnel can maintain and clean the mist outlet channel 2 and the water tank by removing the cover plate 13 to ensure the health of the user and improve the safety of the water tank 1 when in use.

[0077] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising the above-mentioned humidifier.

[0078] The air conditioner in this embodiment is provided with a humidifier, and a cover plate 13 detachably connected to the water tank body 11 is provided on the water tank 1 of the humidifier, so as to facilitate the manufacture of the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 by injection molding separately; and compared with the integrally formed water tank 1, the method of injection molding the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 separately reduces the difficulty of injection molding the water tank 1 at the mist outlet channel 2, thereby improving the convenience of injection molding the water tank 1 at the mist outlet channel 2; and, since the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 are detachably connected, the assembly and disassembly operation process of the water tank body 11 and the cover plate 13 is simple and convenient.
