Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of water tank devices, and more particularly to a water tank device. Background Technology

[0002] Water cupping is a type of cupping therapy. It uses the steam from boiling water to expel air from the cup, creating negative pressure that adheres to the acupoints or skin to be treated. Because these cups are often made of bamboo, it is also called bamboo cupping therapy. To use it, first boil the bamboo cup in a medicinal liquid for several minutes. Then, remove the cup with tweezers, pour out the water, and quickly wipe away any remaining water with a towel. Immediately place the cup over the treatment area; it will adhere and has the effects of warming and unblocking the meridians, dispelling wind and dampness, and relaxing muscles and relieving pain.

[0003] Chinese invention patent application CN 111407940 A discloses a water tank device, which includes a shell, a cover, and a frame suspended and embedded inside the shell. The frame engages with a positioning pin on the inner wall of the shell via a U-shaped latch hinged to its top plate, thereby ensuring the frame remains stable and does not float. The shell of this water tank device can be a custom-made square plastic shell, and in one embodiment, a heating element is built-in, making it a relatively simple heating container in terms of structure and function.

[0004] Furthermore, existing heating containers, such as kettles made of glass or stainless steel, already have well-established structures and functions. Using the aforementioned frame with them can better meet the diverse needs of users. However, the frame requires positioning pins inside the container, which is an unconventional design for glass or stainless steel heating containers, causing inconvenience in manufacturing and resulting in poor compatibility. Additionally, heating containers are mostly rounded cylindrical or cylindrical-mouthed structures. Even with positioning pins, the U-shaped locking part must be aligned during installation, preventing convenient positioning. This is because the cross-section of these kettle-like containers is circular, unlike the aforementioned square shell structure, making it impossible to position the frame during installation. Therefore, this also adds to the inconvenience of installation and use.

[0005] In the process of implementing this embodiment, the inventors discovered at least the following problems:

[0006] The existing water tank device frame is not well adapted to existing heating containers and is inconvenient to install and use. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water tank device that solves the technical problems of poor compatibility of the frame of existing water tank devices with existing heating containers and inconvenience in installation and use.

[0008] Invention solution:

[0009] This invention provides a water tank device, including a container, a frame, and a linkage limiting mechanism; the container has a limiting part; the frame is disposed inside the container and at a certain distance from the bottom of the container; the linkage limiting mechanism includes two limiting members, two sliding rods, a handle, and two limiting posts; the two limiting members are respectively hinged to the frame, and their two inner ends are respectively disposed at the lower ends of the two sliding rods; the two sliding rods are respectively slidably connected to the inner side of the frame, and their upper ends are respectively connected to the two ends of the handle, for use in the case that after the handle moves vertically, the inner ends of the two limiting members are rotated by the two sliding rods respectively, so that their outer ends are limited to or rotated away from the limiting part; the two ends of the handle have locking grooves, and the two limiting posts are disposed on the frame and correspond to the locking grooves. After the handle moves downward, the two limiting posts are respectively located in the two locking grooves, and the two locking grooves can be rotatably locked into the two limiting posts.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner ends of the two limiting members have sliding holes, and the lower ends of the two sliding rods are slidably connected to the sliding holes by sliding pins.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer ends of the two limiting members are heavier than their inner ends, and the outer ends can rotate downwards and disengage from the limiting part under the action of the gravity difference; the lower ends of the two sliding rods are disposed above the inner ends and are used to press the inner ends so that the outer ends rotate and are limited to the limiting part.

[0012] Furthermore, the frame includes an upper constraint frame, multiple middle connecting rods, and a lower support frame, wherein the upper constraint frame and the lower support frame are connected at intervals by the multiple middle connecting rods.

[0013] Furthermore, the upper constraint frame has two downwardly extending mounting portions, and the two limiting members are respectively hinged to the two mounting portions.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper constraint frame adopts a ring structure, and its inner peripheral wall is provided with multiple inwardly extending constraint plates, and the constraint plates form an arc-shaped constraint opening.

[0015] Furthermore, the two sliding rods are respectively disposed on the inner side of the two mounting parts, and respectively slide vertically through the constraint plate.

[0016] Furthermore, two connecting rods are used, with the two connecting rods located inside the two sliding rods, and their upper ends respectively connected to the constraint plates through which the two sliding rods slide, and their lower ends respectively connected to the lower support frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the lower support frame is provided with multiple limiting plates at intervals to limit the bamboo can.

[0018] Furthermore, the two limiting posts have connected limiting sections and connecting sections. The limiting sections are horizontally and protrudingly disposed at the upper end of the frame through the connecting sections. The snap-fit ​​groove includes a first groove and a second groove that are connected and sequentially correspond to the limiting sections and the connecting sections. After the handle moves down and rotates, the first groove is used to accommodate and rotate snap-fit ​​into the limiting section, and the second groove is used to accommodate the connecting section.

[0019] Beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention provides a water tank device in which a handle moves downwards, causing two sliding rods to move and thus rotating two limiting components to limit the container at a limiting part. Simultaneously, the handle, after rotating through two locking slots, engages with two limiting posts, thereby achieving the limiting installation of the frame. This frame, by incorporating a linkage limiting mechanism, eliminates the need for positioning pins on the container. Furthermore, the limiting part of the container can be achieved by modifying the conventional design of the diameter difference, reducing inconvenience to production and enhancing adaptability. Moreover, no positioning installation is required during use; installation is completed simply by lowering the handle for limiting and rotating it for engagement, ensuring ease of installation and use.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0045] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0046] This embodiment provides a water tank device; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 1-16As shown, the device includes a container 100, a frame 200, and a linkage limiting mechanism 300. The container 100 has a limiting part 110. The frame 200 is disposed inside the container 100 and at a certain distance from the bottom of the container 100. The linkage limiting mechanism 300 includes two limiting members 310, two sliding rods 320, a handle 330, and two limiting posts 340. The two limiting members 310 are respectively hinged to the frame 200, and their two inner ends are respectively disposed at the lower ends of the two sliding rods 320. The two sliding rods 320 are respectively slidably connected to the inner side of the frame 200, and their upper ends are respectively The handle 330 is connected to both ends and is used to rotate the inner ends of the two limiting members 310 through the two sliding rods 320 after the handle 330 moves vertically, so that the outer ends are limited to or rotated away from the limiting part 110; the handle 330 has a locking groove 331 at both ends, and the two limiting posts 340 are set on the frame 200 and correspond to the locking groove 331. After the handle 330 moves down, the two limiting posts 340 are respectively located in the two locking grooves 331, and the two locking grooves 331 can be rotatably locked into the two limiting posts 340.

[0047] Specifically, the container 100 can generally adopt a structure similar to a glass or stainless steel kettle (with a built-in heating element). Alternatively, a heating pack can be placed at the bottom of the container 100 for heating. The container 100 typically has a lid for sealing, heat preservation, and limiting the position of the bamboo jar 400. This lid can be directly placed on the opening of the container 100 or rotatably connected to the handle. Specific structures and principles can be found in existing technologies and will not be elaborated here. The limiting part 110 can be formed by changing the diameter difference; for example, if a portion of the container 100 is narrowed, the lower edge of the narrowed portion forms the limiting part 110, and the upper edge forms the receiving part 12. 0, used to support the frame 200 (the upper and / or lower ends of the frame 200 are provided with a cooperating outer protrusion 240), or by setting a support leg at the bottom of the frame 200, so that the bottom of the frame 200 is a certain distance from the bottom of the container 100, for holding medicines and water, etc.; wherein, the vertical movement of the handle 330 includes downward movement and upward movement. When moving downward, the inner ends of the two limiting members 310 are rotated by the two sliding rods 320 respectively, so that the outer ends of the limiting members 310 are limited to the limiting part 110. When moving upward, the inner ends of the two limiting members 310 are rotated by the two sliding rods 320 respectively, so that the outer ends of the limiting members 310 are disengaged from the limiting part 110, thereby facilitating the removal of the frame 200.

[0048] Therefore, the handle 330 can move downwards to drive the two sliding rods 320 to move, thereby rotating the two limiting parts 310 and limiting them to the limiting part 110. At the same time, the handle 330 can be locked onto the two limiting posts 340 after rotating through the two locking slots 331, thereby achieving the limiting installation of the frame 200. The frame 200, by setting the linkage limiting mechanism 300, does not require the setting of positioning pins on the container 100. At the same time, the limiting part 110 of the container 100 can be achieved by changing the conventional design of the diameter difference, thereby reducing the inconvenience to production and enhancing the adaptability of the frame 200. Moreover, no positioning installation is required during use. Installation can be completed by operating the handle 330 to lower the limiting part and rotate the locking part, thus ensuring the convenience of installation and use.

[0049] In this embodiment, the inner ends of the two limiting members 310 have sliding holes 311, and the lower ends of the two sliding rods 320 are slidably connected to the sliding holes 311 by sliding pins.

[0050] Specifically, the two sliding rods 320 can rotate in both directions through the sliding engagement of the sliding pin and the sliding hole 311, so as to limit the contact with the limiting part 110 or disengage from the limiting part; wherein, the sliding hole 311 can be an oblong hole.

[0051] In this embodiment, the outer ends of the two limiting members 310 are heavier than their inner ends, and the outer ends can rotate downwards and disengage from the limiting part 110 under the action of gravity difference; the lower ends of the two sliding rods 320 are disposed above the inner ends and are used to press the inner ends so that the outer ends rotate and are limited to the limiting part 110.

[0052] Specifically, the difference between this embodiment and the above is that the connection at the lower end of the two slide rods 320 is reduced, and the inner end of the two limiting members 310 (i.e. the inner part of the hinge point) is lighter. When the handle 330 is lifted, the inner end can automatically rotate upward to release the limitation of its outer end. This structure reduces the use of parts and makes the key structure simpler and more durable.

[0053] In this embodiment, the frame 200 includes an upper constraint frame 210, a plurality of middle connecting rods 220 and a lower support frame 230, wherein the upper constraint frame 210 and the lower support frame 230 are connected at intervals by the plurality of middle connecting rods 220.

[0054] Specifically, the upper constraint frame 210 is hollow inside, which can accommodate more bamboo cans 400. The lower support frame 230 is used to receive the mouth of the bamboo can 400, and it is provided with a through hole communicating with the mouth of the can. The middle connecting rod 220 connects the upper constraint frame 210 and the lower support frame 230. Compared with the existing structure, this frame has a higher utilization rate of the accommodating space, and can accommodate more bamboo cans 400 in the same volume.

[0055] In this embodiment, the upper constraint frame 210 has two downwardly extending mounting portions 211, and the two limiting members 310 are respectively hinged to the two mounting portions 211.

[0056] Specifically, the two extended mounting portions 211 facilitate the installation of the two limiting members 310, while providing rotational space for the inner ends of the limiting members 310, which is not restricted by the constraint plate 212.

[0057] In this embodiment, the upper constraint frame 210 adopts a ring structure, and its inner peripheral wall is provided with a plurality of inwardly extending constraint plates 212, and the constraint plates 212 form an arc-shaped constraint opening 213.

[0058] Specifically, the cross-section of the upper constraint frame 210 can be circular, which can increase the number of bamboo jars 400 that can be placed. In addition, the constraint plate 212 can be arranged radially, and the arc-shaped constraint opening 213 formed between the constraint plates 212 is used to constrain the bamboo jars 400. The length of the arc-shaped constraint opening 213 is close to that of a semi-circular arc, and the length is relatively short, which can accommodate more bamboo jars 400, while reducing the obstruction to the bamboo jars and making it easier to place the bamboo jars 400.

[0059] In this embodiment, the two slide rods 320 are respectively disposed on the inner side of the two mounting parts 211, and are respectively vertically slidably inserted through the constraint plate 212.

[0060] Specifically, in addition to being slidably connected to the constraint plate 212, the two sliding rods 320 can also be fitted with a sliding sleeve structure on the upper constraint frame to enhance the stability of the sliding structure. Furthermore, the two sliding rods 320 pass through the constraint plate 212 and are located between the bamboo cans 400, without occupying the space of the bamboo cans 400 or affecting the loading and unloading of the bamboo cans 400. In addition, limiting blocks 221 are provided on the outer side of the two connecting rods 220 and the inner side of the two mounting parts 211 to cooperate in limiting the sliding of the two sliding rods 320. Specifically, the limiting blocks 221 on both sides of the two sliding rods 320 further increase the stability of the linkage structure, making the sliding and rotation related structures more stable and less prone to deformation.

[0061] In this embodiment, two intermediate connecting rods 220 are used. The two intermediate connecting rods 220 are disposed inside the two sliding rods 320, and their upper ends are respectively connected to the constraint plates 212 through which the two sliding rods 320 slide, and their lower ends are respectively connected to the lower support frame.

[0062] Specifically, the two connecting rods 220 and the two sliding rods 320 are respectively connected to the same constraint plate 212. First, this structure does not occupy the space of the bamboo can 400, nor does it affect the loading and unloading of the bamboo can 400. Second, the connecting rods 220 also increase the stability of the structure, especially the stability of key parts such as the two mounting parts 211, making them less prone to deformation.

[0063] In this embodiment, the lower support frame 230 is provided with a plurality of limiting plates 231 at intervals for limiting the bamboo can 400.

[0064] Specifically, the setting of the limiting plate 231 not only enhances the limiting of the bamboo can 400, but also basically avoids obstruction during canning, which is conducive to the convenient setting of the bamboo can 400.

[0065] In this embodiment, the two limiting posts 340 have connected limiting sections 341 and connecting sections 342. The limiting section 341 is horizontally and protrudingly disposed at the upper end of the frame 200 through the connecting section 342. The snap-fit ​​groove 331 includes a first groove 3311 and a second groove 3312 connected to and corresponding to the limiting section 341 and the connecting section 342 in sequence. After the handle 330 moves down and rotates, the first groove 3311 is used to accommodate and rotate snap-fit ​​into the limiting section 341, and the second groove 3312 is used to accommodate the connecting section 342.

[0066] Specifically, the two limiting posts 340 protrude from the upper end of the upper constraint frame, which reduces the space occupied by the structure set on the inner wall; the first groove 3311 and the second groove 3312 can be set vertically, and the second groove 3312 is a through groove with open ends; in addition, two slots can be provided at the upper end of the frame 200 to accommodate the bottom of the two ends of the handle 330, and at the same time, the handle 330 can be rotated and snapped to support the upper end surface of the frame 200.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
