Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, and in particular to a water tank assembly structure and a cooling fan. Background Art

[0002] A cooling fan, also known as an air conditioning fan, is an air conditioning device that uses the principle of water evaporation to ventilate, humidify, and cool indoor air. When the cooling fan is operating, the fan draws air from the surrounding environment into the cooling fan. As the air flows through the humidifier inside the cooling fan, the water in the humidifier absorbs heat from the air and vaporizes, absorbing the heat from the air. At the same time, as the air passes through the humidifier, the humidity increases and suspended matter in the air is partially filtered, thus achieving the effects of cooling, humidifying, and purifying the air.

[0003] Most of the existing large-capacity cooling fans adopt the form of separate body and water tank, but when users install them, they need to align the direction of the water tank and the body to assemble them. The body of the large-capacity cooling fan is large, and it is very troublesome for users to hold the body to find the direction. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defect in the prior art that the water tank and the fuselage are inconvenient to assemble, thereby providing a water tank assembly structure and a cooling fan that are convenient to assemble.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a water tank assembly structure, comprising:

[0006] body;

[0007] a water tank, wherein the water tank is provided with a first connecting portion extending along a circumferential direction thereof;

[0008] The second connecting portion is arranged on the fuselage, and the second connecting portion is suitable for being matched and connected with the first connecting portion.

[0009] Optionally, the first connecting portion is provided on the inner wall of the water tank.

[0010] Optionally, the first connecting part includes a hanging edge provided on the inner wall of the water tank, and the second connecting part includes a main body part hinged to the fuselage, and an inner buckle connected to one end of the main body part and suitable for buckling with the hanging edge.

[0011] Optionally, the inner buckle includes a plate-shaped portion and a protrusion protruding from the plate-shaped portion, and the protrusion is suitable for buckling on the lower side of the hanging edge.

[0012] Optionally, the second connecting portion further includes an outer buckle connected to the other end of the main body, the outer buckle is parallel to the inner buckle, and when the inner buckle is buckled with the hanging edge, the outer buckle is in contact with the outer wall of the fuselage.

[0013] Optionally, the inner buckle and the outer buckle are respectively perpendicular to the main body.

[0014] Optionally, the water tank is a symmetrical structure, and the fuselage has a connecting end that is adapted to the shape of the water tank.

[0015] Optionally, the water tank is a cylindrical structure, and correspondingly, the connecting end is circular.

[0016] The present invention also provides a cooling fan comprising the water tank assembly structure.

[0017] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The water tank assembly structure provided by the present invention provides a first connecting portion extending along the circumferential direction of the water tank. When assembling the fuselage to the water tank, it is only necessary to align the fuselage with the water tank to connect the second connecting portion to the first connecting portion, thereby fixing the fuselage on the water tank. There is no need to repeatedly adjust the position of the fuselage, which facilitates assembly and user operation.

[0019] 2. In the water tank assembly structure provided by the present invention, the first connecting portion is provided on the inner wall of the water tank. Providing the first connecting portion on the inner wall of the water tank can eliminate the structure on the outer wall of the water tank, resulting in a smooth outer surface and an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0020] 3. In the water tank assembly structure provided by the present invention, the first connecting portion comprises a hanging edge provided on the inner wall of the water tank, and the second connecting portion comprises a main body hinged to the body, and an inner buckle connected to one end of the main body and adapted to engage with the hanging edge. The first connecting portion has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, and the connection method of the second connecting portion to the first connecting portion is also relatively simple.

[0021] 4. In the water tank assembly structure provided by the present invention, the second connecting portion further includes an outer buckle connected to the other end of the main body. The outer buckle is parallel to the inner buckle. When the inner buckle is engaged with the hanging edge, the outer buckle abuts against the outer wall of the fuselage. When the inner buckle is engaged with the hanging edge, the outer buckle abuts against the outer wall of the fuselage. The second connecting portion is simultaneously connected to the fuselage and the water tank, ensuring the stability of the connection between the fuselage and the water tank. At the same time, when the fuselage and the water tank need to be separated, rotating the outer buckle of the second connecting portion can simultaneously drive the inner buckle to rotate away from the first connecting portion. This simple structure is easy for users to operate.

[0022] 5. The water tank assembly structure provided by the present invention has a cylindrical structure, and correspondingly, the connecting end is circular. The fuselage can be installed on the water tank in any direction, which is more convenient for users to operate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] Example 1

[0037] This embodiment provides a water tank assembly structure. In one implementation, the water tank assembly structure includes a body 1 , a water tank 2 , and a second connecting portion 3 .

[0038] The water tank 2 is provided with a first connection portion extending along its circumferential direction; the second connection portion 3 is provided on the fuselage 1, and the second connection portion 3 is suitable for being matched with and connected to the first connection portion.

[0039] The water tank assembly structure provided in this embodiment provides a first connecting portion extending along the circumferential direction of the water tank 2. When assembling the fuselage 1 to the water tank 2, it is only necessary to align the fuselage 1 and the water tank 2 to connect the second connecting portion 3 to the first connecting portion, thereby fixing the fuselage 1 on the water tank 2. There is no need to repeatedly adjust the position of the fuselage 1, which facilitates assembly and user operation.

[0040] Based on the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, the first connecting portion is provided on the inner wall of the water tank 2. In this embodiment, providing the first connecting portion on the inner wall of the water tank 2 allows the outer wall of the water tank 2 to be free of structure, resulting in a smooth outer surface and an aesthetically pleasing appearance. In an alternative embodiment, the first connecting portion can be provided on the outer wall of the water tank 2, and the first connecting portion can be engaged with the second connecting portion 3.

[0041] On the basis of the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting portion includes a hanging edge 21 provided on the inner wall of the water tank 2, and the second connecting portion 3 includes a main body 31 hinged to the body 1, and an inner buckle 32 connected to one end of the main body 31 and adapted to engage with the hanging edge 21. In this embodiment, the structure of the first connecting portion is simple and easy to manufacture, and the connection method of the second connecting portion 3 to the first connecting portion is also relatively simple. In an alternative embodiment, the first connecting portion may include an annular groove provided on the inner wall of the water tank 2, and the inner buckle 32 of the second connecting portion 3 is adapted to engage with the groove.

[0042] Based on the above embodiment, in one embodiment, the inner buckle 32 includes a plate-shaped portion 321 and a protrusion 322 protruding from the plate-shaped portion 321. The protrusion 322 is adapted to be snapped onto the underside of the hanging edge 21. In this embodiment, the inner buckle 32 has a simple structure, and the snapping of the protrusion 322 onto the underside of the hanging edge 21 prevents the water tank 2 from falling off the body 1 when the water tank assembly structure is transported.

[0043] On the basis of the above embodiment, in one embodiment, the second connecting portion 3 further includes an outer buckle 33 connected to the other end of the main body 31, the outer buckle 33 is parallel to the inner buckle 32, and when the inner buckle 32 is buckled with the hanging edge 21, the outer buckle 33 is attached to the outer wall of the fuselage 1. In this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, when the inner buckle 32 is buckled with the hanging edge 21, the outer buckle 33 is attached to the outer wall of the fuselage 1, and the second connecting part 3 is connected to the fuselage 1 and the water tank 2 at the same time, ensuring the connection stability between the fuselage 1 and the water tank 2. At the same time, when the fuselage 1 and the water tank 2 need to be separated, the outer buckle 33 of the second connecting part 3 is rotated, which can simultaneously drive the inner buckle 32 to rotate away from the first connecting part. The structure is simple and easy for users to operate.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the inner buckle 32 and the outer buckle 33 are respectively perpendicular to the main body 31. In this embodiment, when the outer buckle 33 is attached to the outer wall of the fuselage 1 and the inner buckle 32 is buckled on the hanging edge 21, the main body 31 is in a parallel state, and the main body 31 occupies a small space on the fuselage 1.

[0045] Based on the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, the water tank 2 is a symmetrical structure, and the fuselage 1 has a connection end adapted to the shape of the water tank 2. In this embodiment, during assembly, the position adjustment of the fuselage 1 is less, which is convenient for users to assemble.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, Figures 1 to 3As shown, the water tank 2 is a cylindrical structure. Correspondingly, the connection end between the fuselage 1 and the water tank 2 is also circular. In this embodiment, the fuselage 1 can be installed on the water tank 2 in any direction, which is more convenient for user operation.

[0047] The water tank assembly structure provided in this embodiment can be installed on the water tank 2 in any direction. When the body 1 is installed on the water tank 2, the inner buckle 32 of the second connecting part 3 is hooked on the hanging edge 21 of the water tank 2. When the body 1 is installed on the water tank 2, the inner buckle 32 of the second connecting part 3 is hooked on the hanging edge 21 of the water tank 2. Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the inner buckle 32 is used to loosen the hanging edge 21 and the body 1 can be taken out.

An evaporator is housed within a housing 1, and a water pump is connected below the housing 1. Once the housing 1 and water tank 2 are assembled, the water pump, located within the water tank 2, pumps water from the tank 2 into the evaporator. The cooling fan in this embodiment provides conventional blowing, humidification, and cooling functions.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
