[0046] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0047] In related technologies, in order to improve indoor air quality, various air purifier products have appeared on the market. In addition to dust removal and sterilization functions, some of these air purifiers also have humidification functions. That is, by adding a humidification device to the air purifier, the air can be kept at the most suitable humidity while safely and quickly filtering pollutants in the air.
[0048] Humidifier-purifier combos typically store water in a tank inside the unit, which is equipped with a removable lid for easy cleaning. However, current humidifier-purifier combos require pressing both buttons on the sides of the lid and lifting it upwards to fully open the lid, which is inconvenient, especially for users with small hands, as it is very strenuous and affects the user experience.
[0049] In view of this, this application proposes a water tank structure.
[0050] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A water tank structure includes a tank body 1 and a tank cover 2. The tank body 1 has an assembly hole 11, and the tank cover 2 is rotatably connected to the assembly hole 11. An annular snap-fit portion 12 is provided along the inner edge of the assembly hole 11, and the edge of the tank cover 2 abuts against the snap-fit portion 12. Multiple spaced buckles 21 are provided on the side of the edge of the tank cover 2 facing the interior of the tank body 1, and the snap-fit portion 12 has multiple notches 121 adapted to the multiple buckles 21. The buckles 21 and the snap-fit portion 12 are engaged by rotating the tank cover 2.
[0051] The lid 2 is circular in shape, and a sliding buckle 23 is slidably provided along the radial direction of the lid 2. A buckle seat 13 is provided on the box body 1, and a first limiting hole 1311 is provided in the buckle seat 13. The sliding buckle 23 is engaged with the first limiting hole 1311.
[0052] The box cover 2 is provided with a mounting part 221, and the sliding buckle 23 is installed in the mounting part 221. The sliding buckle 23 includes a sliding buckle body 231. One end of the sliding buckle body 231 is provided with a first limiting block 232 that is adapted to the first limiting hole 1311, and the other end is connected to the mounting part 221 by a spring 24.
[0053] The sliding buckle body 231 is also provided with a second limiting block 233, which is perpendicular to the first limiting block 232. The mounting part 221 is provided with a second limiting hole 2211, and the second limiting block 233 is located in the second limiting hole 2211.
[0054] Specifically, the water tank structure includes a tank body 1 and a tank cover 2. The tank cover 2 is circular in shape. An assembly hole 11 is provided on the top of the tank body 1 for installing the tank cover 2. The shape of the assembly hole 11 corresponds to the circular shape of the tank cover 2. See also... Figure 4 Multiple latches 21 are provided on the inner edge of the lid 2, see [reference]. Figure 2The inner edge of the mounting hole 11 is provided with a ring-shaped snap-fit portion 12, and notches 121 are distributed at intervals on the snap-fit portion 12. The size of the notches 121 is adapted to the buckle 21. When the cover 2 is installed into the mounting hole 11, first align the buckle 21 with the notch 121, put the cover 2 in, so that the inner edge of the cover 2 is snapped onto the outer surface of the snap-fit portion 12. Then rotate the cover 2 to offset the position of the buckle 21 and the notch 121. At this time, the buckle 21 abuts against the inner surface of the snap-fit portion 12 to form a snap-fit limit, thereby restricting the axial movement of the cover 2 and ensuring that the cover 2 will not come out of the mounting hole 11 when only subjected to an upward pulling force.
[0055] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lid 2 has a mounting portion 221, and the interior of the mounting portion 221 forms an accommodating space in which the sliding buckle 23 is installed. The sliding buckle 23 includes a sliding buckle body 231, which is arranged radially along the lid 2. One end of the sliding buckle body 231 is provided with a first limiting block 232, and the other end is connected to the mounting portion 221 by a spring 24, so that the sliding buckle 23 can move radially along the lid 2. In its naturally extended state, the spring 24 causes the first limiting block 232 to extend beyond the mounting portion 221 and beyond the edge of the lid 2. A fastener 13 is fixed on the box body 1 near the edge of the mounting hole 11. When the lid 2 is assembled, it rotates in a first direction. When the lid 2 rotates to a certain position, the first limiting block 232 will contact and interfere with the fastener 13. If the lid 2 continues to rotate, the fastener 13 will squeeze the sliding buckle 23, causing the sliding buckle 23 to slide toward the center of the lid 2, and the spring 24 will be compressed. Because the buckle 13 has a first limiting hole 1311, when the cover 2 rotates to the point where the sliding buckle 23 is opposite to the first limiting hole 1311, the sliding buckle 23 loses the pressure of the buckle 13, the spring 24 returns to its original position, and pushes the sliding buckle 23 to slide away from the center of the cover 2, so that the first limiting block 232 enters the first limiting hole 1311. The first limiting block 232 and the first limiting hole 1311 engage to form a limit, locking the position of the cover 2, preventing the cover 2 from loosening when rotated without human intervention, and ensuring the stability of the assembly.
[0056] See Figure 3The sliding buckle body 231 is also provided with a second limiting block 233, which is located on the top surface of the sliding buckle body 231 and perpendicular to the first limiting block 232. A second limiting hole 2211 is provided above the mounting part 221 corresponding to the second limiting block 233, so that the second limiting block 233 can be accommodated in the second limiting hole 2211. When the sliding buckle body 231 slides radially along the cover 2, the second limiting block 233 also moves within the second limiting hole 2211. The width of the second limiting hole 2211 in the radial direction of the cover 2 determines the distance that the second limiting block 233 can slide. Thus, through the cooperation between the second limiting block 233 and the second limiting hole 2211, the sliding stroke of the sliding buckle 23 can be limited.
[0057] When opening the lid 2, move the second limiting block 233 away from the buckle 13 to disengage the first limiting block 232 from the first limiting hole 1311, thus releasing the rotation lock. Then rotate the lid 2 in the second direction, which is the opposite of the first direction, until the buckle 21 on the edge of the lid 2 aligns with the notch 121 on the snap-fit part 12. The lid 2 can then be removed from the assembly hole 11. The entire opening process is simple, easy, and labor-saving, greatly improving the user experience.
[0058] Furthermore, a guide portion 122 is provided on one side of the notch 121. The thickness of the guide portion 122 gradually decreases from the end away from the notch 121 to the end closer to the notch 121. The side of the guide portion 122 facing the interior of the housing 1 forms a guide slope, which gradually slopes towards the interior of the housing 1 from the end closer to the corresponding notch 121 to the end away from the corresponding notch 121. Figure 4 As shown, the guide part 122 is located at the right end of the notch 121. The guide slope gradually slopes downward from left to right. When the box cover 2 rotates clockwise, the buckle 21 on the edge of the box cover 2 can be smoothly engaged with the inner side of the buckle part 12 under the guidance of the guide slope.
[0059] Furthermore, a first limiting protrusion 123 is provided on the side of the notch 121 away from the guide portion 122, and the first limiting protrusion 123 protrudes from the side of the engaging portion 12 facing the interior of the housing 1. Figure 4As shown, the first limiting protrusion 123 is located at the left end of the notch 121. When the lid 2 is inserted into the assembly hole 11, the latch 21 enters the notch 121. The first limiting protrusion 123 protrudes from the inner side of the latching part 12, blocking the latch 21 from the left end of the notch 121, thereby limiting the latch 21 and restricting the lid 2 from rotating counterclockwise. In this way, the lid 2 can only rotate in the first direction during assembly until it is locked. When the lid 2 is opened, the first limiting protrusion 123 can limit the travel of the lid 2 in the second direction, positioning the lid 2 at the point where it can be removed, thus reminding the user that the lid 2 can be removed at this position. This helps to increase the convenience and accuracy of operation, making the operation simpler and more efficient.
[0060] Furthermore, a second limiting protrusion 124 is also provided on the latching portion 12. The second limiting protrusion 124 protrudes from the side of the latching portion 12 facing the interior of the housing 1, and the guide portion 122 is located between the first limiting protrusion 123 and the second limiting protrusion 124. Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting protrusion 124 is located on the right side of the guide portion 122, and there is a certain distance between the second limiting protrusion 124 and the guide portion 122. When the lid 2 is inserted into the assembly hole 11 and the buckle 21 enters the notch 121, the lid 2 rotates clockwise. When the buckle 21 reaches the second limiting protrusion 124, the second limiting protrusion 124 protrudes from the inner side of the latching portion 12, which can block the buckle 21 from the right end, thereby limiting the lid 2 from continuing to rotate clockwise. The second limiting protrusion 124 is used to limit the travel of the lid 2 in the first direction during assembly, ensuring that the positions of the sliding buckle 23 and the buckle seat 13 can be aligned after the lid 2 is rotated into place, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the assembly.
[0061] Furthermore, a locking icon and an unlocking icon are provided on the top of the box body 1 near the buckle 13. Correspondingly, an indicator arrow is provided on the first limit block 232, which can be used to indicate the assembly and opening operation of the box cover 2, so that the user can intuitively and clearly grasp the locking and unlocking positions during operation, thereby accurately judging the status of the box cover 2, which is more user-friendly.
[0062] Optionally, a rounded chamfer is provided at the corner of the end of the first limiting block 232 that mates with the first limiting hole 1311.
[0063] Specifically, when the lid 2 is rotated and locked, there is friction and compression between the buckle 13 and the first limiting block 232. In order to reduce the resistance of the sliding buckle 23 engaging with the buckle 13, a rounded chamfer is provided at the corner of the end where the first limiting block 232 mates with the first limiting hole 1311. The rounded chamfer can form a smooth transition arc surface, thereby guiding the movement of the sliding buckle 23, so that the first limiting block 232 can smoothly enter the first limiting hole 1311 and achieve locking.
[0064] Optionally, the buckle 13 includes a main body 131 and a support 133; the main body 131 is arranged perpendicular to the mounting plane of the box cover 2, and the first limiting hole 1311 is formed on the main body 131; the support 133 is connected to both sides of the main body 131 and is perpendicular to the main body 131, and a transition part 132 is provided at the connection between the main body 131 and the support 133, and the cross-sectional shape of the transition part 132 is set to an arc shape.
[0065] See Figure 7 The main body 131 adopts a plate-like structure, perpendicular to the mounting plane of the cover 2. A first limiting hole 1311 is provided on the main body 131 for engaging with the first limiting block 232 of the sliding buckle 23 to achieve locking. Support parts 133 are located on both sides of the main body 131 to increase the connection area between the buckle 13 and the box 1, increasing the connection strength and providing enhanced support for the main body 131, thus improving structural stability. A transition part 132 is provided at the connection between the main body 131 and the support part 133. The transition part 132 forms a smooth arc surface at the corner of the buckle 13. When the first limiting block 232 of the sliding buckle 23 is pressed from the edge of the main body 131 into the first limiting hole 1311, the transition part 132 guides the movement of the first limiting block 232, thereby reducing the resistance between the first limiting block 232 and the buckle 13, ensuring smooth operation.
[0066] Optionally, the support portion 133 is trapezoidal in shape, and the width of the support portion 133 gradually increases from the end away from the box body 1 to the end closer to the box body 1.
[0067] Specifically, the support part 133 adopts a plate-like structure with a right-angled trapezoidal shape. The lower end of the support part 133 is wider than the upper end, which helps to increase the connection strength and structural stability, and ensures that the buckle 13 is installed securely.
[0068] Furthermore, a rounded chamfer can also be provided at the upper corner of the trapezoidal support 133, which makes the structure stable, safe, and aesthetically pleasing.
[0069] Optionally, protruding ribs 234 are provided on both sides of the sliding body 231 along the sliding direction of the sliding body 231, and a groove is provided on the inner wall of the mounting part 221 corresponding to the protruding ribs 234, and the protruding ribs 234 are slidably connected to the grooves.
[0070] See Figure 6The sliding buckle body 231 has protruding ribs 234 on both sides. The protruding ribs 234 extend along the sliding direction of the sliding buckle body 231. The inner wall of the mounting part 221 has a groove that matches the protruding ribs 234. The sliding direction of the sliding buckle body 231 can be guided by the cooperation between the protruding ribs 234 and the groove, preventing the sliding buckle 23 from deviating to the side during movement, and ensuring smooth locking and unlocking actions.
[0071] Optionally, the lid 2 is provided with a handle 22, which is arranged along the diameter of the lid 2, and the mounting part 221 is provided at one end of the handle 22.
[0072] To further facilitate the assembly and opening of the cover 2, a handle 22 is provided on the cover 2, which is positioned along the diameter of the cover 2. The handle 22 has a hollow structure and is integrated into the cover 2. The housing of the handle 22 includes a side shell and a top cover. After the side shell and top cover are sealed together, an installation space is formed inside, which can be used to install the water pump outlet pipe, circuit components, etc. The handle 22 includes a crossbeam, and a mounting part 221 is located at one end of the crossbeam. By installing the sliding buckle 23 into the mounting part 221, the sliding buckle 23 is integrated into the handle 22, which reduces the space occupied on the cover 2. When opening the cover 2, the user can hold the crossbeam of the handle 22 and use their thumb to move the second limiting block 233 of the sliding buckle 23, which makes it easy to unlock the cover 2. The opening operation can be completed with one hand, which is very user-friendly.
[0073] Optionally, a water guide plate 25 is provided in the middle of the cover 2. The water guide plate 25 is recessed towards the inside of the box body 1. The height of the water guide plate 25 gradually decreases from the edge to the center. A plurality of water guide holes 251 are provided at the center of the water guide plate 25.
[0074] Specifically, the water guide plate 25 is located in the middle of the cover 2 and is recessed towards the inside of the housing 1. The cross-sectional shape of the water guide plate 25 can be set to be arc-shaped, with the height gradually decreasing from the edge to the center. When adding water to the humidifier and air purifier or removing the humidifier component after humidification, water may spill into the air duct if the operation is not careful, and then fall onto the cover 2. By setting the water guide plate 25, the residual water falling on the cover 2 can be collected, and then the residual water can be introduced into the housing 1 through the water guide hole 251. This can realize the recovery of residual water and also avoid the inconvenience of opening the cover due to residual water on the cover 2.
[0075] See Figures 8-10 In this embodiment of the application, the assembly process of the box cover 2 is as follows:
[0076] Align the indicator arrow on the first limiting block 232 with the unlock icon on the box body 1. At this time, the buckle 21 on the edge of the box cover 2 is exactly aligned with the notch 121 on the locking part 12. Place the box cover 2 into the assembly hole 11. Rotate the box cover 2 clockwise. During the rotation, the second limiting block 233 of the sliding buckle 23 contacts and is pressed against the buckle seat 13. Continue to rotate the box cover 2 clockwise until the sliding buckle 23 is aligned with the first limiting hole 1311. At this time, the first limiting block 232 loses the pressure of the buckle seat 13 and is pushed into the first limiting hole 1311 by the spring 24. The indicator arrow on the first limiting block 232 is exactly aligned with the locking icon on the box body 1. The locking is complete.
[0077] The opening process of lid 2 is as follows:
[0078] Move the second limiting block 233 of the sliding buckle 23 towards the center of the lid 2, so that the sliding buckle 23 moves away from the buckle seat 13. The first limiting block 232 retracts into the handle 22, thereby disengaging from the first limiting hole 1311. At this time, the rotation lock is released. Keep the position of the second limiting block 233, and rotate the lid 2 counterclockwise so that the sliding buckle 23 and the buckle seat 13 are completely misaligned until the indicator arrow on the first limiting block 232 is aligned with the unlock icon on the box body 1. At this time, the buckle 21 on the edge of the lid 2 is aligned with the notch 121 on the locking part 12, the axial lock is released, and the lid 2 can be taken out by lifting it up.
