[0033] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0034] Embodiment

[0035] As a kind of table type water treatment drinking water device for household use, the size height of the product is particularly important due to the limitation of product volume, and since the water treatment filter element, water purification tank and other structures need to be disassembled, replaced or cleaned, the existing models are designed with a cover plate, which is located on one side of the body, and the cover plate and the body are fixed by sliding buckle through guide rail. Although this method is practical and stable, it is not convenient and quick to disassemble, and after disassembling the cover plate, the product looks not very harmonious, lacks the integrity of appearance, and the concave-convex buckle and guide rail make the product look not beautiful enough.

[0036] Therefore, the embodiment provides a top cover assembly for a water boiler, which is used in cooperation with a body 1 of the water boiler.

[0037] In one embodiment, as shown in the drawings, the top cover assembly 2 includes a top cover structure adapted to be embedded in the mounting groove 101 at the top of the body 1, and a second magnetic attraction element 201 arranged on the top cover structure, which is used to generate magnetic attraction force with the first magnetic attraction element fixed on the body.

Since the top cover structure can be fixed on the top of the body 1, it is not easy to fall off. When the filter element in the body 1 needs to be replaced, the top cover assembly 2 can be disassembled from the body 1 by overcoming the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic attraction element and the second magnetic attraction element 201 with force upward, which improves the disassembly convenience of the top cover assembly 2, and thus improves the assembly efficiency of the whole machine to a certain extent. After disassembling the top cover assembly 2, since there is no exposed buckle and guide rail, the product can still maintain a good appearance.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the first magnetic attraction element and the second magnetic attraction element 201 are both magnets. In an alternative embodiment, one of the first magnetic attraction element and the second magnetic attraction element 201 is a magnet, and the other is an iron block or an iron sheet.

In this embodiment, the arrangement of the top cover lining 204 can reduce the unevenness caused by the deformation of the top cover shell 203, and can ensure that the plurality of second magnetic attraction elements 201 are all attracted. In an alternative embodiment, the top cover structure can be a one-piece cover structure, and the second magnetic attraction elements 201 are located at the lower side edge of the top cover structure.​

[0041] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 four second magnetic attraction members 201 are provided, and the four second magnetic attraction members 201 are arranged on at least two edges of the top cover structure and are close to the edges of the top cover structure.

[0042] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in a preferred embodiment, a plurality of first clamping members 2031 are arranged on the top cover shell 203, and a plurality of second clamping members 2041 matched with the first clamping members 2031 are arranged on the top cover lining 204, and the first clamping members 2031 are adapted to be clamped with the second clamping members 2041.

In this embodiment, the arrangement of the clamping grooves 2042 plays a role of positioning and limiting for the assembly of the top cover shell 203, and the cooperation of the clamping grooves 2042 and the convex edges can make the connection between the top cover lining 204 and the top cover shell 203 more stable.

[0046] Specifically, in one embodiment, a plurality of groups of first convex ribs 2043 and second convex ribs 2044 are arranged on the top cover lining 204, as shown in Figure 4 one group of first convex ribs 2043 and second convex ribs 2044 are arranged opposite and spaced apart, and the gap between the first convex ribs 2043 and the second convex ribs 2044 constitutes a clamping groove 2042. Such arrangement is conducive to the weight reduction of the top cover lining 204, and at the same time does not affect the arrangement of the second clamping members 2041 on the top cover lining 204. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the clamping groove 2042 can also be an annular groove.

[0047] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in a preferred embodiment, the second magnetic attraction member 201 is arranged between the top cover shell 203 and the top cover lining 204. By arranging the top cover shell 203 and the top cover lining 204, the position of the second magnetic attraction member 201 can be shielded, and the second magnetic attraction member 201 can be hidden between the top cover shell 203 and the top cover lining 204, so that the appearance is more beautiful.

[0048] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in a preferred embodiment, the top cover shell 203 and / or the top cover lining 204 is / are provided with a first limiting structure, which can fix the position of the second magnetic attraction member 201. In this embodiment, the first limiting structure can fix the position of the second magnetic attraction member 201, so that the position of the second magnetic attraction member 201 cannot be moved.

[0049] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 6 the first limiting structure includes a limiting groove 2032 and a plurality of protrusions 2033 arranged on the groove wall of the limiting groove 2032, and the second magnetic attraction member 201 is clamped between the plurality of protrusions 2033. In this embodiment, the position of the second magnetic attraction member 201 is fixed by the limiting groove 2032 and the protrusions 2033. In an alternative embodiment, the first limiting structure can only include a plurality of protrusions 2033, and the second magnetic attraction member 201 is clamped between the plurality of protrusions 2033. In another alternative embodiment, the first limiting structure can only include a limiting groove 2032, and the second magnetic attraction member 201 is clamped in the limiting groove 2032.

[0050] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, in a preferred embodiment, the limiting groove 2032 is arranged on the top cover shell 203. In an alternative embodiment, the limiting groove 2032 can be arranged on the top cover lining 204.
