[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0048] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.
[0049] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative positional relationship or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "below", "above", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a position flip or a posture change or a motion state change, then these directional indications also change accordingly, for example: an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented as "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features". Therefore, the example term "below..." may include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions) and the spatial relative descriptors used herein are interpreted accordingly.
[0050] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that when the flip mechanism is affected by external factors or its own gravity, the movable parts are prone to shaking or uncontrollably resetting, resulting in low stability and reliability of the flip mechanism, the present application provides a flip mechanism and electrical equipment, and a limiting protrusion 12 is provided in the flip slide of the flip mechanism. When the limiting protrusion 12 contacts the limiting member, relative sliding limitation between the limiting member and the flip slide can be achieved, which can ensure that the flip component 1 is in a stable flipping state, thereby avoiding the flip component 1 from flipping and resetting relative to the fixed component 2, and improving the stability and reliability of the flip mechanism.
[0051] See also Figures 1 to 14 In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a flipping mechanism, including a flipping assembly 1 and a fixing assembly 2. The flipping assembly 1 is provided with a first matching portion 11 for realizing an active connection with the fixing assembly 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The flip assembly 1 can flip relative to the fixed assembly 2, so that the flip assembly 1 has the following Figure 1 The flip state shown and Fig.13 , Fig.14 Shown in home position.
[0052] A second matching portion 21 is provided on the fixed component 2, one of the first matching portion 11 and the second matching portion 21 is a flipping groove, and the other is a limiter arranged to be in sliding contact with the flipping groove; when the flipping component 1 is flipped relative to the fixed component 2, the limiter and the flipping groove can slide relative to each other, so that the matching position between the limiter and the flipping groove moves from the starting end 111 of the flipping groove to the end 112, or moves from the end 112 to the starting end 111, and the relative movement between the flipping component 1 and the fixed component 2 can be flip-guided and the flipping stroke can be limited, so that the flipping component 1 is flipped along a preset trajectory, thereby improving the movement reliability of the flipping component 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 shown.
[0053] A limit protrusion 12 is provided inside the flip slide to achieve relative sliding limit between the limit member and the flip slide. No arbitrary relative sliding can occur between the limit member and the flip slide, which can prevent the limit member from flipping and resetting under the influence of external factors or its own gravity, thereby ensuring that the flip assembly 1 is in a stable flipping state, and improving the flipping stability and reliability of the flip mechanism.
[0054] It should be noted that the limiting protrusion 12 is used to form a small-sized through hole inside the flip chute, and the through hole forms an interference fit with the outer surface of the limiting member, such as Figure 2 As shown; when the user uses a greater force to flip the flip assembly 1, the flip slide groove and the limiting member slide relative to each other, allowing the limiting member to pass through the through opening.
[0055] When the limiting protrusion 12 is only provided on one side of the flip chute, the through hole is formed between the limiting protrusion 12 and the inner wall of the flip chute opposite thereto. When two limiting protrusions 12 are provided oppositely on both sides of the flip chute, the through hole is formed between the two limiting protrusions 12 oppositely provided. Figures 5 to 7 As shown; as long as the size of the through opening can form an interference fit with the limiting member, the purpose of this application can be achieved.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first matching portion 11 is a flip chute provided on the flip assembly 1, the second matching portion 21 is a limiter provided on the fixed assembly 2, in which case the limiter is fixedly provided, and the flip chute can be moved relative to the limiter, thereby realizing a relative position change between the limiter and the flip chute. On the contrary, when the first matching portion 11 is a limiter provided on the flip assembly 1, the second matching portion 21 is a flip chute provided on the fixed assembly 2, in which case the flip chute is fixedly provided, and the limiter can slide inside the flip chute, thereby realizing a relative position change between the limiter and the flip chute, and both can achieve the purpose of the present application. In the following embodiments of the present application, the first matching portion 11 is a flip chute provided on the flip assembly 1, and the second matching portion 21 is a limiter provided on the fixed assembly 2 for explanation.
[0057] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 A first matching portion 11 is provided on both sides of the flip component 1, and a second matching portion 21 is provided on the fixed component 2 corresponding to the first matching portion 11, which can respectively realize the movable connection between the two sides of the flip component 1 and the fixed component 2, so that the force on both sides of the flip component 1 is balanced, and the movement stability of the flip component 1 can be improved.
[0058] It should be noted that the distance between the first matching portion 11 and the flip axis of the flip component 1 can be set according to the flip amplitude requirement of the flip component 1. When the size of the flip slot corresponding to the first matching portion 11 is certain and the position of the flip axis is fixed, the greater the distance between the first matching portion 11 and the flip axis, the smaller the flip amplitude of the flip component 1.
[0059] In some preferred embodiments of the present application, when the reset state of the flip assembly 1 is Fig.13 , Fig.14 In the upright position shown, Figure 1 and Fig.13 It can be seen that the flipping axis of the flipping component 1 is located at the bottom of the flipping component 1. At this time, the first matching part 11 is set in the middle position of both sides of the flipping component 1, which can not only ensure that the flipping component 1 has a larger flipping amplitude, but also exert a force on the middle part of the flipping component 1 through the limiting part, which is conducive to realizing the fixing effect of the limiting part in the fixing component 2 on the flipping component 1.
[0060] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9The limiting protrusion 12 is arranged on the flip slide groove on one side of the flip component 1. While ensuring the limiting effect of the limiting protrusion 12 on the flip component 1, it can reduce the resistance of the user to flip the flip component 1, making the user's operation more labor-saving.
[0061] As a specific embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The limiting protrusion 12 is set in the flip chute on the left side of the flip component 1, while the limiting protrusion 12 is not set in the flip chute on the right side of the flip component 1. When the flip component 1 is in an inclined flipping state, the limiting protrusion 12 in the left flip chute is mainly used to cooperate with the limiting piece in the fixed component 2 to prevent the flip chute on the left side of the flip component 1 and the limiting piece on the left side of the fixed component 2 from sliding relative to each other in the flip state, thereby preventing the flip component 1 from shaking in the tilted state.
[0062] When the user flips the flip assembly 1 to reset it, the flip assembly 1 only needs to overcome the force of the left limit member on the limit protrusion 12, which can reduce the resistance of the user flipping the flip assembly 1 and improve the user's operating convenience.
[0063] When a limiting protrusion 12 is provided in the flip slide groove on the left side of the flip component 1, the engagement amount (or contact area) between the flip slide groove on the left side of the flip component 1 and the limiting piece on the left side of the fixed component 2 is smaller than the engagement amount between the flip slide groove on the right side of the flip component 1 and the limiting piece on the right side of the fixed component 2, which can ensure that the flip component 1 can move to the right when returning to its position, making it easier for the left limiting piece to pass over the limiting protrusion 12 in the left flip slide groove, so as to achieve smooth return of the flip component 1.
[0064] In other embodiments of the present application, the limiting protrusions 12 are arranged on the flip slide grooves on both sides of the flip component 1, so that the forces on both sides of the flip component 1 are balanced, thereby improving the force uniformity and movement smoothness of the flip component 1 during the flipping process.
[0065] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The limiting protrusion 12 is arranged at the end 112 of the flipping slot, and is used to maintain the flipping state of the flipping component 1. When the flipping component 1 and the fixing component 2 move relative to each other, so that the limiting member passes over the limiting protrusion 12 and reaches the end 112 of the flipping slot, the flipping component 1 is in a completely flipped state, and the limiting protrusion 12 cooperates with the limiting member to stably maintain the flipping state, and the user can operate the flipping component 1 in the flipping state.
[0066] It should be noted that a limiting space for accommodating a limiting member is formed between the limiting protrusion 12 and the inner wall surface of the end 112 of the flip chute, and the limiting protrusion 12 and the inner wall surface of the end 112 of the flip chute can limit the two sides of the limiting member, so that the limiting member and the flip chute can be stably matched with the end 112 of the flip chute, thereby keeping the flip assembly 1 in a flipped state, such as Figure 2 shown.
[0067] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The surface of the limiting protrusion 12 is provided with a guiding curved surface 121, which can reduce the difficulty of the limiting member passing over the limiting protrusion 12. When the user flips the flip assembly 1 to reach the flip state or the return state, it only takes a little more force to make the limiting member pass through the passage formed by the limiting protrusion 12. While ensuring the limiting effect of the limiting protrusion 12 on the limiting member, the flipping difficulty of the flip mechanism is reduced.
[0068] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The guide curved surface 121 is arranged on the side of the limiting protrusion 12 facing the starting end 111 of the flip chute. When the limiting member is located at the starting end 111 of the flip chute, the flip assembly 1 is in the reset state, such as Fig.13 and Fig.14 When the stopper is located at the end 112 of the flip chute, the flip assembly 1 is in a flip state, as shown Figure 1 The guide curved surface 121 is arranged on the side of the limiting protrusion 12 facing the starting end 111 of the flipping slot, which can reduce the resistance of the flipping assembly 1 from the reset state to the flipping state, making the user's flipping operation smoother and more natural.
[0069] An abutment portion 122 is provided on the side of the limiting protrusion 12 facing the end 112 of the flip slide groove. The abutment portion 122 includes a pointed structure for abutting on the limiting member, which can improve the limiting effect of the limiting protrusion 12 on the limiting member, increase the difficulty of the limiting member passing over the limiting protrusion 12 from the end 112 of the flip slide groove, and improve the reliability of stably maintaining the flipping state through the limiting protrusion 12.
[0070] In other embodiments of the present application, guide curved surfaces 121 are provided on both sides of the limiting protrusion 12, which can improve the smoothness of the forward flipping and reverse return of the flip assembly 1 and improve the operating convenience of the flip assembly 1.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the limiting protrusion 12 and the flip slide groove are an integrated structure, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the flip assembly 1 can be manufactured by an integrated molding process, which is helpful to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the flip assembly 1.
[0072] In other embodiments of the present application, the limiting protrusion 12 is made of elastic material, and when the user applies external force to the flip assembly 1, the limiting member passes through the through hole formed by the limiting protrusion 12, and the limiting protrusion 12 can be elastically deformed under the extrusion of the limiting member, so that the limiting member moves from one side of the limiting protrusion 12 to the other side. After the limiting member passes, the limiting protrusion 12 returns to its original state under the action of elastic force, and can play a role in blocking and limiting the limiting member.
[0073] At the same time, since the limiting protrusion 12 is made of elastic material, the noise generated when the limiting member and the limiting protrusion 12 collide and rub can be reduced, and the wear of the limiting member and the limiting protrusion 12 during the flipping process can also be reduced.
[0074] It should be noted that when the limiting protrusion 12 is made of elastic material such as rubber, the connection between the limiting protrusion 12 and the flip slide groove can be achieved through a gluing process or an embedding process.
[0075] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The side wall surface of the flip chute (i.e., the wall surface on both sides of the sliding direction of the limit member) is an inclined plane or arc surface, and the limit member can move along the inclined plane or arc surface, so that the flip chute can guide the limit member and the flip component 1 to flip, so that the flip component 1 moves along a preset flip trajectory.
[0076] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The flip chute is in the shape of an inclined strip hole. At this time, the side wall of the flip chute is an inclined plane. When the flip assembly 1 is in the vertical state, the starting end 111 of the flip chute is higher than the end 112. Figure 1 When the flipping chute is flipped to the left, the flipping chute moves relative to the stopper, so that the matching position of the stopper and the flipping chute changes from the starting end 111 of the flipping chute to the end 112 of the flipping chute. At this time, the flipping assembly 1 can be connected to the fixed assembly 2 through the connecting rod assembly 3, so that the flipping assembly 1 does not rotate around a fixed rotation axis, so that the flipping trajectory of the flipping assembly 1 matches the shape of the flipping chute (linear chute).
[0077] In other embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 6The flip chute is an arc-shaped hole that is tilted. At this time, the side wall of the flip chute is an arc-shaped surface, and the starting end 111 of the flip chute is higher than the end 112. When the flip component 1 and the fixed component 2 are directly hinged and rotate around the hinge axis, the radius of the arc-shaped surface is the distance from the side wall of the flip chute to the flip axis (i.e., the hinge axis).
[0078] In other embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 7 The flip chute is an elliptical hole shaped with an inclined setting. At this time, the side wall surface of the flip chute is also an arc surface, and the starting end 111 of the flip chute is higher than the end 112. Since the middle size of the flip chute is larger, the limiter can have a larger movement margin in the middle of the flip chute, which can avoid the flip chute and the limiter from getting stuck during the sliding process.
[0079] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 The flip mechanism also includes a connecting rod assembly 3, which is connected to the flip assembly 1 and the fixed assembly 2 respectively, so that the flip assembly 1 has a certain degree of rotation or translation freedom when subjected to force, so that the force can be transmitted and dispersed more smoothly through the connecting rod assembly 3, avoiding stress concentration and damage at the connection between the flip assembly 1 and the fixed assembly 2. At the same time, the flip track design of the flip assembly 1 can also be realized through the structural design of the connecting rod assembly 3, so that the flip track of the flip assembly 1 is not limited to rotation around a fixed flip axis.
[0080] It should be noted that the structure of the connecting rod assembly 3 can be set according to the flipping trajectory of the flipping assembly 1, and can be a single-link mechanism, a double-link mechanism or a multi-link mechanism. As long as the flipping assembly 1 and the fixed assembly 2 can be flipped relative to each other, and the limit member can move smoothly relative to the flip slide groove, the purpose of this application can be achieved.
[0081] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 The connecting rod assembly 3 includes a connecting rod body 31, a first hinge shaft 32, and a second hinge shaft 33. The first hinge shaft 32 and the second hinge shaft 33 are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting rod body 31; the first hinge shaft 32 is used to connect with the first hinge part 137 on the flip assembly 1, so that the flip assembly 1 and the connecting rod body 31 can rotate relative to each other; the second hinge shaft 33 is used to connect with the second hinge part 23 on the fixed assembly 2, so that the connecting rod body 31 and the fixed assembly 2 can rotate relative to each other.
[0082] When the flip component 1 is in Fig.13 and Fig.14In the reset state shown in the figure, the connecting rod body 31 is in a horizontal state; if the user drives the flip assembly 1 to flip relative to the fixed assembly 2, the flip assembly 1 drives the connecting rod body 31 to move. Figure 1 and Fig.10 In the flipped state shown, the connecting rod body 31 is in Fig.11 The tilted state shown can be used to achieve a flexible connection between the flip assembly 1 and the fixed assembly 2 .
[0083] It should be noted that the above-mentioned flipping mechanism can be applied to any equipment that needs to flip a component and maintain the flipped state. Through the cooperation of the flipping slide and the limit member, the flipping guidance of the flipping mechanism can be realized. Through the limit protrusion 12 in the flipping slide, the limit member can be limited, thereby achieving stable maintenance of the flipping assembly 1 in the flipped state.
[0084] In common electrical equipment (such as fans, floor scrubbers, etc.), water tanks are often used to store water, so as to provide a continuous supply of water or water flow during the use of the electrical equipment. The water tank is usually set at the bottom of the electrical equipment, and the water tank and the equipment housing are usually connected by a pull-out type. When adding water, the user needs to bend down to pull out the water tank and place it on the ground. After adding water, the water tank is slid into the housing and the filled water tank is pushed into the assembly position with force, which makes the user's water adding operation cumbersome. In addition, the water tank after adding water is heavy, and the user is more laborious when placing the water tank, which affects the user experience.
[0085] In order to solve the above problems, the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides an electrical device, including the flip mechanism described in the above embodiment, and the flip assembly 1 includes a box 13, which can be used to store water and provide a water source for the normal operation of the electrical device. The first matching portion 11 is arranged on the box 13; the fixing assembly 2 includes a shell 22, and the second matching portion 21 is arranged on the shell 22. Through the cooperation of the first matching portion 11 and the second matching portion 21, the box 13 can be flipped relative to the shell 22. Through the abutment of the limiting protrusion 12 and the limiting member, the limiting member can be stably located at the end 112 of the flipping chute, so that the box 13 can be stably maintained in the flipping state; thereby, it is convenient to add water to the inside of the box 13 when the box 13 is in the flipping state.
[0086] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Fig. 9, hollow structures are provided on both sides of the housing 22, which prevents the housing 22 from interfering with the flipped box 13, and facilitates the top water inlet of the box 13 to extend from the hollow structure on one side (such as the front side) of the housing 22 after flipping, so that the user can add water to the box 13. During the water adding process, it is only necessary to set the water inlet of the box 13 below the faucet or other water outlet to add water to the box 13, without moving the box 13, which can significantly reduce the labor intensity of the user, improve the convenience of using the electrical equipment, and meet the user's needs for stability and ease of use.
[0087] After the box 13 is filled with water, the user flips the box 13 to turn it over to the reset state, and part of the box 13 is embedded in the shell 22, such as Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, a compact connection between the box body 13 and the housing 22 can be achieved, which is beneficial to reducing the space occupancy rate of the electrical equipment.
[0088] It should be noted that the present application sets the first matching part 11 (i.e., the flip chute) on both sides of the box body 13, and the flip chute is set at an angle, which can better adapt to the natural stroke of the user flipping the box body 13 when adding water, thereby improving the convenience of the flipping operation. The height position of the first matching part 11 on the box body 13 can be determined according to the height of the water tank and the size of the water inlet required by the user.
[0089] As a specific embodiment of the present application, when the first matching portion 11 is arranged in the lower middle position of the box body 13, the flipping amplitude of the box body 13 can be moderate, and the water filling port at the top of the box body 13 can be completely extended from the hollow structure on the front side of the shell 22, so that there is a larger water filling space at the top of the box body 13.
[0090] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Fig. 9 The limiting members on both sides of the shell 22 are columnar structures, which can cooperate with the flip slide grooves on both sides of the box body 13, not only realizing a stable active connection between the box body 13 and the shell 22, but also ensuring the stability of the box body 13 during the flipping process and the guiding property of the shell 22 to the box body 13.
[0091] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The limiting protrusion 12 is provided with a guide curved surface 121, which can reduce the resistance when the user flips the water tank, making the user's operation process more labor-saving. The guide curved surface 121 can be set on one side or both sides of the limiting protrusion 12 as needed, thereby reducing the difficulty of the user flipping the water tank to add water or returning the water tank to its original position.
[0092] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 A first avoidance portion 131 is provided at the bottom of the box body 13 to prevent the box body 13 from interfering with the bottom side wall of the shell 22 when it is turned over; a second avoidance portion 132 is provided at the top of the box body 13 to prevent the box body 13 from interfering with the top of the shell 22 when it is turned over; thereby preventing the box body 13 from interfering with the shell 22 during the turning process, which is beneficial to ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the turning of the box body 13 and preventing the box body 13 from being stuck inside the shell 22.
[0093] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig.13 A handle 133 is provided on the box body 13, which can facilitate the user to lift the box body 13 and apply external force to the box body 13, so that the limiting member passes over the limiting protrusion 12 under the action of the external force, thereby realizing the flipping of the box body 13 relative to the shell 22.
[0094] In some preferred embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig.13 The handle portion 133 is disposed at the upper portion of the box body 13 , which can reduce the degree of bending of the user when lifting the box body 13 , thereby improving the user's experience.
[0095] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The box body 13 has a storage cavity 134 inside, which can be used to store water. The side wall of the box body 13 is provided with an observation window 135 and / or a storage amount indicator. The user can observe the water amount inside the box body 13 through the observation window 135 and / or the storage amount indicator, so that the user can replenish water in time.
[0096] It should be noted that a transparent member (such as glass, acrylic plate, etc.) is provided in the observation window 135, so that the user can observe the situation inside the box body 13 while the box body 13 is closed. The storage amount indicator can be a liquid level gauge or a water level buoy, etc., and the observation window 135 and the storage amount indicator can be set either one or the other, or the storage amount indicator can be directly set on the observation window 135, and both can achieve the purpose of the present application.
[0097] In the above embodiment, in order to support the bottom of the box 13 so that the box 13 can be maintained in a stable flipping state, the housing 22 is further provided with a support portion 24, which can support the bottom of the box 13. Fig.11 However, when the contact area between the bottom of the box 13 and the support 24 is small, once the water inside the box 13 sways greatly, the bottom of the inclined box 13 is easy to slide off the support 24, so that the box 13 cannot be kept in a stable inclined state for adding water.
[0098] In order to solve the above problems, in some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Fig.12 A third matching portion 136 is provided at the bottom of the box body 13. The third matching portion 136 has a matching surface for abutting against the shell 22, which can be used to increase the contact area between the bottom of the box body 13 and the shell 22, enhance the supporting effect of the support portion 24 on the bottom of the box body 13, and ensure the stability of the box body 13 when it is in a tilted flipping state.
[0099] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 The shapes of the box body 13 and the shell 22 can be designed according to the appearance of the electrical equipment. As long as the relative flipping between the box body 13 and the shell 22 can be achieved, the purpose of the present application can be achieved.
[0100] In some embodiments of the present application, the electrical device is a refrigeration device such as a circulating cooling fan or a tower fan, which can reduce the air temperature and / or increase the air humidity through the water in the box 13. The water in the box 13 will be drawn into the fan and the water will be released into the air through the evaporation function of the fan. When the water in the air evaporates, it will absorb heat, thereby reducing the indoor temperature, so that the circulating cooling fan or tower fan can provide cool wind; at the same time, the indoor humidity can be increased by evaporating the water, thereby improving the air quality, and then the cold air blown out from the air outlet component 4 has a suitable temperature and humidity, making the indoor environment more comfortable and pleasant.
[0101] In the above embodiment, the box body 13 is flipped relative to the housing 22, so that the fan and other electrical equipment can have a flip-type water tank. During the water filling process, there is no need to pull the water tank (i.e., the box body 13), which can avoid the heavy water tank transportation process and improve the convenience of water filling. The labor intensity of the user in the water filling process is reduced, and the user experience is improved.
[0102] In some embodiments of the present application, a base 5 is further provided at the bottom of the electrical device, which can be used to fix the electrical device. When casters are provided at the bottom of the base 5, the electrical device can be moved to any space for use as needed.
[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, a snap-fitting portion 138 is further provided on the box body 13, which can realize a snap-fit connection between the box body 13 and the shell 22 when the box body 13 is flipped to the returned state, so that the box body 13 will not flip over at will when not affected by external force (such as the user pulling and flipping, etc.), thereby ensuring the normal use of the electrical equipment when it is in the returned state.
[0104] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 14The turning process of the box 13 of the above-mentioned electrical equipment is as follows:
[0105] Step 1: Observe the water level inside the box 13 through the observation window 135 and / or the storage level indicator. If the water level is low, Figure 1 Pull the handle 133 on the left side to flip the box 13 to the left relative to the shell 22;
[0106] Step 2: When the flip chute moves relative to the limiter, the limiter passes over the limiter protrusion 12 smoothly through the guide curved surface 121 of the limiter protrusion 12, so that the limiter is located in the limiter space formed by the limiter protrusion 12 and the end 112 of the flip chute, and the limiter is slidably limited by the abutment portion 122 of the limiter protrusion 12 and the inner side wall of the end 112 of the flip chute, so that the box body 13 is in a stable flip state;
[0107] Step 3: Add water into the storage chamber 134 through the inclined water inlet of the box body 13 until the water volume reaches a preset value;
[0108] Step 4: Figure 1 The handle portion 133 is pushed on the right side, and the limiting member passes through the through hole formed by the limiting protrusion 12 under the action of external force, so that the box body 13 is flipped from the flipped state to the returned state, and the snap connection between the box body 13 and the shell 22 is realized through the snap connection portion 138 of the box body 13.
