For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0037] With the development of society and the advancement of science and technology, people's living standards are constantly improving, and the demand for clothing care products is increasing. Clothing care products in related technologies generally use steam care, that is, they convert the water in the water box at the bottom of the care machine into water vapor for clothing care.

[0038] However, most existing water box designs of clothing care machines have some problems, such as the need to bend or squat to take out the water box, and the inconvenience of extracting the water box when receiving water before operation and pouring water after operation. To solve these problems, the present invention proposes a new clothing care machine.

[0039] First, please refer to Figures 1 to 9, an embodiment of the present invention provides a clothing care machine. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the cabinet 1 includes a clothing care machine, a first chamber 11 is formed in the cabinet 1, and is used to accommodate the water tank assembly of the clothing care machine, and a second chamber 15 is also included as a care chamber of the clothing care machine, and is used to accommodate the clothes to be cared for. According to user habits, the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 15 can be arranged up and down, but not limited to, wherein the first chamber 11 is located below the second chamber 15.

[0040] The water tank assembly includes a water tank bracket 2 and a water tank body 3, wherein the water tank bracket 2 is located in the first chamber 11, wherein the water tank bracket 2 and the cabinet body 1 are fixedly connected or rotatably connected, and the water tank bracket mainly serves as a connection carrier between the water tank body 3 and the cabinet body 1, which can reduce the difficulty of processing and make the design more flexible and convenient.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the water tank body 3 is slidably arranged in the water tank bracket 2. Specifically, a protrusion 23 is arranged on the side of the water tank bracket 2, and a groove 32 is arranged on the side of the water tank body 3. The water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2 are slidably connected by the groove 32 and the protrusion 23, so that the water tank body 3 can be taken out and loaded more conveniently. Since a water outlet is arranged on the water tank body 3, it needs to be aligned with the water filling port of the clothing care machine cabinet 1. Therefore, the design of the groove 32 and the protrusion 23 between the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2 is conducive to the installation and positioning of the water tank body 3.

[0042] The water tank body 3 is located in the accommodating space formed by the water tank bracket 2, and the water tank body 3 is used to hold water. A locking assembly is provided between the water tank bracket 2 and the water tank body 3, which is used to lock or unlock the two.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the locking assembly includes a push rod 41 slidably set on the water tank body 3, and the water tank bracket 2 has a snap-in hole 21 corresponding to the push rod 41. When the water tank body 3 needs to be installed in the cabinet 1, it is only necessary to push the push rod 41 to insert it into the snap-in hole 21, so that the water tank body 3 will be fixed on the water tank bracket 2; when the user needs to fill water or take out the water tank body 3, it is only necessary to slide the push rod 41 out of the snap-in hole 21, thereby unlocking the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2, and removing the water tank body 3.

[0044] In another optional embodiment, the push rod can also be slidably set on the water tank bracket 2, and the water tank body 3 has a snap-in hole corresponding to the push rod. When the water tank body 3 needs to be installed in the cabinet 1, it is only necessary to push the push rod to insert it into the snap-in hole, so that the water tank body 3 will be fixed on the water tank bracket 2; when the user needs to fill water or take out the water tank body 3, it is only necessary to slide the push rod out of the snap-in hole, thereby unlocking the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2, and removing the water tank body 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, the solution of "the push rod 41 is slidably arranged on the water tank body 3, and the clamping hole 21 is arranged on the water tank bracket 2" is taken as an example for description.

[0046] Furthermore, the connection method between the push rod 41 and the snap-in hole 21 is also conducive to the installation and positioning of the water tank body 3, that is, it can again ensure that the water tank body 3 is installed in the preset position to ensure that the water outlet of the water tank body 3 is aligned with the water inlet on the cabinet 1 to prevent water from overflowing elsewhere.

[0047] The design of the movable connection between the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2 makes the installation and removal of the water tank body 3 more convenient, and the user can complete the water tank related operations quickly and easily without any effort. Furthermore, the locking assembly can ensure the stable connection between the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2, avoiding the loosening or falling off of the water tank body 3 during operation.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a receiving groove 31 is provided on the water tank body 3. Specifically, the receiving groove 31 is provided on the upper surface of the water tank body 3. When the water tank body 3 needs to be taken out, the side facing the user is the upper surface.

[0049] Of course, it is not difficult to understand that a through hole connected to the accommodating groove 31 should be provided on the water tank body 3, so that the push rod 41 can pass through the through hole and be slidably set on the water tank body 3, one end of the push rod 41 is located in the accommodating groove 31, and the other end can pass through the through hole and be inserted into the clamping hole 21.

[0050] Furthermore, the receiving groove 31 is located at the center of the upper surface, thereby providing installation space for the locking assembly. Specifically, two groups of locking assemblies are symmetrically arranged relative to the receiving groove 31, and the two groups of locking assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the receiving groove 31. Correspondingly, two groups of clamping holes 21 are arranged on the water tank bracket 2.

[0051] When the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2 need to be locked, the two groups of push rods 41 slide back to back into the corresponding snap-in holes 21 respectively; when the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2 need to be unlocked, the two groups of push rods 41 slide towards each other to disengage from the corresponding snap-in holes 21 respectively.

[0052] The structural design of symmetrically arranging two groups of locking components can fix the water tank body 3 in a balanced manner so that it is evenly stressed, and at the same time, it also makes the connection between the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2 more stable, further enhancing the reliability of the connection.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, a guide channel 33 is provided on the water tank body 3, and a push rod 41 is slidably provided in the guide channel 33. A stop portion 411 is provided on the push rod 41, and a first elastic member 5 is provided between the stop portion 411 and the guide channel 33. One end of the first elastic member 5 abuts against the stop portion 411, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the guide channel 33, so that when the push rod 41 drives the stop portion 411 to move in a direction away from the accommodating groove 31, the stop portion 411 can compress the elastic member.

[0054] When the push rod 41 moves away from the accommodating groove 31 and slides toward the snap-in hole 21, the elastic member is compressed and stores energy. When one end of the push rod 41 is inserted into the snap-in hole 21, the other end of the push rod 41 can be snap-fitted into the accommodating groove 31 to stably maintain the push rod 41 in the locked position, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2.

[0055] When it is necessary to unlock the push rod 41, the end of the push rod 41 that is clamped in the accommodating groove 31 is released, and the push rod 41 can slide out of the clamping hole 21 under the action of the elastic force stored in the elastic member, and move toward the accommodating groove 31, thereby achieving unlocking between the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2.

[0056] The elastic member provides an elastic force between the push rod 41 and the stopper 411, which helps to stabilize the two ends of the push rod 41 in the clamping position. Specifically, the elastic member will maintain the close contact between the two ends of the push rod 41 and the clamping position through the elastic force to prevent them from loosening due to external factors. This anti-loosening feature improves the reliability of the locking assembly, and ensures the stability and durability of the connection even if some slight vibration or impact occurs during use.

[0057] On the other hand, the elastic force of the elastic member helps the push rod 41 to rebound, that is, helps the push rod 41 to slide out of the engaging hole 21 to achieve unlocking.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the first elastic member 5 is preferably a spring member, which is sleeved on the push rod 41, with one end abutting against the stopper 411, and the other end abutting against the inner wall of the end of the guide channel 33, and a gasket 7 is arranged between the spring and the inner wall of the end of the guide channel 33. The gasket 7 has a buffering effect and can reduce the friction between the spring and the guide channel. The guide channel 33 not only provides guidance for the push rod 41 to ensure its sliding stability, but also provides an accommodation space for the first elastic member 5.

[0059] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a guide groove 311 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating groove 31, and a connecting rod 42 is provided at the end of the push rod 41. The connecting rod 42 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 311, so that the stability and accuracy of the push rod 41 during the sliding process can be further achieved.

[0060] Furthermore, the guide groove 311 can also realize the positioning of the push rod 41. For example, a limiting structure is set in the guide groove 311. When the push rod 41 is inserted into the locking hole 21, the push rod 41 can be stabilized in the locked position through the limiting part. This limiting part can also be understood as the position where the other end of the push rod 41 mentioned above is locked in the accommodating groove 31.

[0061] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly further includes a handle 43, which is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 42. When the push rods 41 in each set of locking assemblies are respectively inserted into the engaging holes 21, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and 5 In the locking state shown, the two handles 43 rotate toward each other and abut against each other to fix the two push rods 41 .

[0062] When it is necessary to unlock the push rod 41, Figure 6 and 7 In the unlocking state shown, it is only necessary to pull the handle 43 upward to disengage it, and the push rod 41 will slide under the elastic force of the elastic member to disengage from the engaging hole 21, thereby achieving unlocking between the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2.

[0063] This design makes the operation of the locking assembly more convenient and intuitive. When the user inserts the push rod 41 into the engaging hole 21, the handles 43 will automatically rotate and butt against each other to form a fixed point. In this way, the push rod 41 will be firmly locked in the engaging hole 21 to ensure the firmness of the connection. Through the mutual abutment of the handles 43, the user can quickly and intuitively determine whether the locking assembly has been fixed.

[0064] In general, this solution improves the convenience and stability of the connection, making the connection between the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2 more secure.

[0065] Furthermore, the design of the handle 43 plays an important role in carrying the water tank body 3. When the user needs to fill the water tank body 3 with water or needs to take out the water tank body 3 for other operations, the user only needs to turn the lifting handle to unlock it and at the same time, the user can grab the handle 43 and lift the water tank to move it to the desired position without excessive effort or the use of additional tools, thereby increasing the portability and usability of the water tank.

[0066] Furthermore, the receiving groove 31 provides storage space for the two handles 43. Figure 4 and 5 When the locking assembly is in the locked state, the two handles 43 can be conveniently received in the receiving grooves 31 so that they do not protrude or hinder the use of the overall structure.

[0067] In order to further increase the convenience and protect the handle 43, the receiving groove 31 is also provided with a flip cover that is buckled therewith. The design of this flip cover can effectively cover the receiving groove 31, completely covering the handle 43 inside, and protecting it from the influence of the external environment.

[0068] In summary, the design of the receiving groove 31 and the flip cover brings multiple benefits. First, it provides a neat and convenient storage method, ensuring that the handle 43 can be safely embedded in the receiving groove 31 when not in use, avoiding collision or damage to the handle 43. Second, the existence of the flip cover can provide an additional layer of protection, protecting the handle 43 from dust, water droplets and other external substances, and extending the service life of the handle 43.

[0069] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 3-7 As shown, each locking assembly includes two mutually parallel push rods 41. The two mutually parallel push rods 41 can evenly distribute the locking force between the water tank body 3 and the water tank bracket 2, thereby increasing the firmness of the connection. The parallel arrangement between the two push rods 41 can also effectively offset the influence of external force and environmental vibration on the connection, providing a more stable connection state.

[0070] In order to facilitate processing and assembly, Figure 3 As shown, the push rod 41 provided in this embodiment adopts a split structure. Specifically, two parallel push rods 41 are connected together by a rectangular baffle, and the connecting rod 42 and the push rod 41 are also separate structures. The connecting rod 42 is a cylindrical rod, and the end of the handle 43 is a cylindrical sleeve. The connecting rod 42 is nested in the cylindrical sleeve, realizing the rotation connection between the handle 43 and the connecting rod 42. At the same time, the rectangular baffle and the cylindrical sleeve are abutted together, thereby realizing the connection between the push rod 41 and the handle 43.

[0071] This split structure design provides greater flexibility and convenience. By dividing the push rod 41 and the connecting rod 42 into multiple parts, processing, assembly and replacement become simpler and more feasible. During the manufacturing process, each part can be processed and assembled independently, and then the final assembly is carried out, thereby improving production efficiency and quality control.

[0072] In addition, the split structure can also facilitate future maintenance and repair. If a certain part needs to be replaced or repaired, only the corresponding part needs to be replaced or repaired without replacing the entire push rod 41. This can reduce maintenance costs and time.

[0073] In summary, by providing a split-structure push rod 41 design, this embodiment is more convenient in processing and assembly. This design not only improves production efficiency, but also provides a more convenient maintenance and repair solution, making the use and maintenance of the entire locking assembly more flexible and reliable.

[0074] In an alternative embodiment, Figure 1 Shown, water tank support 2 and cabinet 1 are connected together by rotation. During the rotation process of water tank support 2, it can be in two different positions, i.e., receiving position and extended position.

[0075] The storage position of the water tank bracket 2 refers to the position state when it is completely stored inside the cabinet 1. The storage position can effectively save space, especially when the water tank is not in use, the water tank bracket 2 can be hidden inside the cabinet 1 to avoid occupying excess space.

[0076] The extended position of the water tank bracket 2 refers to the position state when the water tank bracket 2 is extended from the cabinet 1. When the water tank bracket 2 is fully extended, it is convenient for the user to install or remove the water tank body 3.

[0077] The storage position and the extended position of the water tank bracket 2 can be achieved by rotating the water tank bracket 2 around the cabinet 1. For example, a limiter is set between the water tank bracket 2 and the cabinet 1. The limiter can be a pull rope or a connecting rod to limit the water tank bracket 2 to a preset position.

[0078] In an alternative embodiment, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, a rotating shaft 22 is respectively provided at both ends of the water tank bracket 2, and an axis hole 12 matching the rotating shaft 22 is provided on the cabinet body 1. The rotating shaft 22 is coaxially arranged with the axis hole 12, and the rotating shaft 22 can rotate in the axis hole 12.

[0079] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, a first limiting surface 121 and a second limiting surface 122 are provided in the shaft hole 12. A pressing plane 221 is provided on the rotating shaft 22, and the pressing plane 221 can abut against the first limiting surface 121 to limit the water tank bracket 2 in the receiving position. At the same time, the pressing plane 221 can also abut against the second limiting surface 122 to limit the water tank bracket 2 in the extended position.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment, the first limiting surface 121 is a horizontal surface passing through the axis, and the second limiting surface 122 is an inclined surface passing through the axis, and the intersection of the horizontal surface and the inclined surface passes through the axis of the shaft hole 12. In this way, the inclination angle of the inclined surface can be designed according to the angle of the extended position of the water tank bracket 2 to reduce the design difficulty. Correspondingly, the pressing plane 221 of the rotating shaft 22 is also a plane passing through the axis.

[0081] In short, the rotation shaft 22 disposed at both ends of the water tank bracket 2 cooperates with the shaft hole 12 on the cabinet 1, and the provided limiting surface and the pressing plane 221 realize the limitation between the receiving position and the extended position of the water tank bracket 2. This design ensures that the water tank bracket 2 is stably fixed at the required position, so as to facilitate the storage and use of the water tank body 3.

[0082] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, a receiving cavity 13 is provided on the first limiting surface 121, and a second elastic member 6 is provided in the receiving cavity 13. The second elastic member 6 contacts the pressing plane 221, and the water tank bracket 2 can be rotated from the receiving position to the extending position through the pushing action.

[0083] When the water tank bracket 2 is in the receiving position, the second elastic member 6 is compressed and maintained in the receiving cavity 13. It should be noted that some fixing structures need to be provided to fix the water tank bracket 2 and the cabinet 1, for example, they can be fixed by buckles or latches or some other snap-fit ​​structures.

[0084] When the user needs to pull the water tank bracket 2 to the extended position, the water tank bracket 2 is rotated to disengage from the first limiting surface 121, which releases the compression force on the second elastic member 6, so that the elastic member can quickly return to its original state and push the water tank bracket 2 to rotate to the extended position. Through this structure, the second elastic member 6 plays a role in providing a rotational driving force, making it easier and more efficient for the user to rotate the water tank bracket 2. The second elastic member 6 can be, but is not limited to, a spring member.

[0085] In this embodiment, we preferably adopt a technical solution of setting a buckle 14 on the cabinet 1 to fix the water tank bracket 2 in the receiving position. Specifically, the buckle 14 is slidably set on the cabinet 1 and is located at a position of the cabinet 1 close to the water tank bracket 2. Correspondingly, a slide groove that cooperates with the buckle 14 is set at a corresponding position of the water tank bracket 2.

[0086] By sliding the buckle 14, the water tank bracket 2 can be clamped on the cabinet 1 to achieve the purpose of fixing. This avoids unnecessary movement and shaking, ensuring stability and safety in use. At the same time, the design of this solution is relatively simple and easy to operate, which also makes the installation and removal of the water tank body 3 easier and faster.

[0087] In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 9 As shown, the second cavity in the cabinet 1 provided in this embodiment can be arranged in parallel as two, and a group of water tank assemblies is arranged in each cavity, one group of water tank assemblies is used as a water storage tank 8, and the other group of water tank assemblies is used as a waste water tank 9.

[0088] By providing two second chambers arranged in parallel in the cabinet 1 and configuring the water storage tank 8 and the waste water tank 9 respectively, the system capacity can be increased, the water storage and waste water can be separated, and greater flexibility and adaptability can be provided.
