For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the water tank assembly of this embodiment includes: a water tank 10 and a support member 20, the water tank 10 has a cavity and an opening connected to the cavity; the support member 20 can be movably connected to the top of the water tank 10, the support member 20 has a supporting state that cooperates with the opening and a avoiding state that avoids the opening, when the support member 20 is in the supporting state, the support member 20 is suitable for supporting the body 30, when the support member 20 is in the avoiding state, at least a part of the body 30 is received in the cavity.

[0036] The water tank assembly of this embodiment is applied, and the support member 20 can be movably connected to the top of the water tank 10. When using the water tank assembly, the support member 20 is adjusted to the supporting state, and the support member 20 supports the body 30; when it needs to be stored, the support member 20 is adjusted to the avoiding state avoiding the opening, and at least part of the body 30 can be stored in the cavity. The support member 20 and the water tank 10 are inseparable, and do not need to be disassembled when stored, and the support member 20 is not easy to lose, which is convenient for the user to use next time, and improves the user experience.

[0037] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the water tank 10 includes two first side panels 11 arranged opposite to each other, and the two sides of the support member 20 are movably connected to the two first side panels 11, so that the support member 20 can be switched between the supporting state and the avoiding state by moving the support member 20. The support member 20 is pulled outward to put the support member 20 in the avoiding state, and the support member 20 is pushed inward to put the support member 20 in the supporting state. The structure is simple and the operation is also simple. As an alternative embodiment, one side of the support member 20 is hinged on the side panel of the water tank 10, and the support member 20 is switched between the supporting state and the avoiding state by rotating the support member 20. At this time, the support member 20 can adopt the wave-breaking plate in the prior art.

[0038] In the prior art, a large-capacity water tank is very heavy after being filled with water and needs to be moved by the casters of the water tank. Due to the insufficient height of the water tank, the user needs to bend down and push the water tank when moving the water tank, which is difficult to move and has a poor user experience. In order to solve the above problems, in the present embodiment, when the support member 20 is in the avoidance state, the support member 20 can be rotated relative to the first side plate 11. After the support member 20 is adjusted to the avoidance state, the side of the support member 20 away from the water tank 10 can be rotated relative to the side of the support member 20 connected to the water tank 10. When moving the water tank assembly, the support member 20 is rotated upward, and the user can pull the water tank assembly without the need for the user to bend down and push the water tank, thereby improving the user experience; when storing and transporting, the support member 20 can be rotated downward so that the support member 20 is attached to the outer wall of the water tank 10. The support member 20 occupies a small space, which is convenient for storage and transportation.

[0039] In this embodiment, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the support member 20 is provided with an elongated slot 211 and a rotating slot 212, one end of the elongated slot 211 is connected to the rotating slot 212, and the first side plate 11 is provided with a mounting shaft 12, which can move in the elongated slot 211 and rotate in the rotating slot 212. The mounting shaft 12 cooperates with the elongated slot 211 and the rotating slot 212 to achieve linear motion and rotation of the support member 20, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, thereby reducing the difficulty of manufacturing and thus reducing the production cost. As an alternative embodiment, the first side plate 11 is provided with an elongated slot 211 and a rotating slot 212, and the support member 20 is provided with a mounting shaft 12.

[0040] In this embodiment, the water tank 10 further includes two second side plates 13 arranged opposite to each other, and each second side plate 13 is respectively connected to the two first side plates 11. The mounting shaft 12 is arranged near the second side plate 13 and is used to mount the support member 20. The rotation groove 212 is connected to one end of the elongated groove 211 near the center of the water tank 10. When the support member 20 slides outward to the end, the support member 20 can rotate around the mounting shaft 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, the installation shaft 12 includes a flat shaft section 121 and a round shaft section 122 that are connected and arranged inside and outside, the elongated groove 211 includes an inner groove section 2111 and an outer groove section 2112 that are connected, the groove width of the inner groove section 2111 is greater than the groove width of the outer groove section 2112, the rotating groove 212 includes a first groove section 2121 and a second groove section 2122 that are connected and arranged inside and outside, the flat shaft section 121 can cooperate with the outer groove section 2112 or the second groove section 2122, and the round shaft section 122 can cooperate with the inner groove section 2111 or the first groove section 2121. When the flat shaft section 121 cooperates with the outer groove section 2112, the support member 20 can only move horizontally on the water tank 10, but cannot rotate, so as to prevent the support member 20 from rotating when the support member 20 is in a supporting state, and the structure is more reliable. Specifically, the width of the outer groove section 2112 is slightly greater than the thickness of the flat shaft section 121, so that the support member 20 can only move horizontally on the water tank. The inner groove section 2111 and the outer groove section 2112 form a T-shaped groove.

[0042] In this embodiment, the groove wall of the second groove section 2122 is arc-shaped to prevent the installation shaft 12 from interfering with the second groove section 2122, thereby ensuring that the support member can rotate normally.

[0043] In this embodiment, the support member 20 is a frame structure with a simple structure and light weight, which can reduce the weight of the support member and further reduce the weight of the water tank assembly. Specifically, the support member 20 includes a frame 21 and a support plate 22 arranged on the inner side of the frame 21. The support member 20 is in a supporting state, and the support plate 22 blocks the opening part. The two first frames of the frame 21 are movably connected to the two first side plates 11 of the water tank 10, and the two first frames are arranged opposite to each other. The elongated groove 211 and the rotating groove 212 are arranged on the first frame.

[0044] In this embodiment, the frame 21 includes two first frames and one second frame, both ends of the second frame are connected to one end of the two first frames, part of the second frame forms a handle 23, and the support plate 22 is arranged on the inner side of the first frame and the second frame. The two first frames and the second frame form a U shape, and the handle facilitates the user to stand upright and drag the water tank. As an alternative embodiment, the second frame may not be provided.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the handle 23 is circular, so when the user holds the handle 23, it does not hurt the hand, thereby improving the user experience.

[0046] In this embodiment, a plurality of support plates 22 are provided, and the plurality of support plates 22 jointly support the machine body 30, so that the support is more stable. As an alternative implementation, the support plates 22 on the two first frames are connected to form a large support plate.

[0047] In this embodiment, two support members 20 are provided, and the two support members 20 are arranged opposite to each other, and the appearance is more neat and beautiful. As an alternative embodiment, only one support member 20 can also be provided.

[0048] In this embodiment, the two support members 20 are symmetrically arranged relative to the center of the water tank. In this case, the two support members 20 are exactly the same in size, which reduces the processing difficulty and improves the processing efficiency. As an alternative embodiment, the two support members 20 are of different sizes.

[0049] The present invention also provides a cooling fan, such as Figure 5 As shown, it includes: the water tank assembly mentioned above.

[0050] In this embodiment, if Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the cooling fan also includes a body 30 and a water pump 40. The water pump 40 is connected to the bottom of the body 30 through a water pipe 50. A plurality of support legs 31 are provided at the bottom of the body 30. The height of each support leg 31 is higher than the height of the water pump 40. The body 30 and the water tank assembly can be separated to facilitate the transportation and water addition of the water tank. When the support member 20 is in a supporting state or a closed state, the support plate of the support member 20 is located above the opening and blocks part of the opening to support the body 30; when the support member 20 is in an avoidance state or an open state, the body 30 can be placed in the water tank 10 for easy transportation and storage. When the body 30 is taken out of the water tank 10, it can be placed on the ground. The setting of the support legs 31 can protect the water pump from being crushed by the body 30. There are four support legs 31. Of course, the number of support legs 31 is not limited to this.

[0051] In this embodiment, components such as a motor and an evaporator are disposed in the machine body 30 , which will not be described in detail here.

[0052] In this embodiment, the water pipe 50 is a hose, which is deformed by external force but not damaged, and ensures that the water pipe 50 is not crushed by the machine body 30 when the machine body is placed on the ground.

[0053] In this embodiment, the size of the opening of the water tank 10 is slightly larger than the size of the body 30. After opening the support member 20, the body 30 can be placed in the water tank 10 to achieve the purpose of compressing the volume for easy transportation and storage.

[0054] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0055] Two horizontally movable supports 20 are arranged on the water tank 10. When the supports 20 slide outward to the end, the supports 20 can rotate around the mounting shaft 12. When it is necessary to pour water, the supports 20 are slid outward to the end. The supports 20 can be supported to serve as a handle of the water tank, so that the user can carry or pull the water tank. When pulling the water tank, the water tank can be moved by relying on the casters of the water tank, which is more labor-saving and improves the user's comfort, avoiding the situation that the user needs to bend down and push the water tank because the height of the water tank is too low; after the supports 20 slide outward to the end, the machine body 30 can be placed in the water tank, so as to achieve the purpose of compressing the volume, facilitate transportation and storage, make full use of the space of the water tank, and realize small-volume storage and transportation; the supports 20 are assembled into one with the water tank 10, and do not need to be disassembled for storage, and parts are not easy to lose; when the supports 20 slide inward to the end, the supports 20 can support the machine body 30, so that the whole machine can be used normally.

[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
