[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages disclosed in the embodiments of the present application more clearly understood, the embodiments of the present application are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the embodiments of the present application and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present application.

[0035] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 The technical solution in the embodiments of this application is described below.

[0036] See also Figure 1-6A water tank assembly provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a water tank shell 1, a switching assembly 2 and a fixed bracket 3, the switching assembly 2 is respectively connected to the water tank shell 1 and the fixed bracket 3, the water tank shell 1 forms a cavity for holding water; a first notch is provided on the water tank shell 1, and a second notch 31 is provided on the fixed bracket 3, and the first notch and the second notch 31 are arranged opposite to each other; the switching assembly 2 includes a switching switch 21, a moving part 22 and a micro switch 23, the switching switch 21 is arranged on the water tank shell 1, the micro switch 23 is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 3, the first notch and the second notch 31 are both located between the micro switch 23 and the switching switch 21, and the moving part 22 is fixedly connected to the switching switch 21.

[0037] Specifically, the switching switch 21 is used to make the moving member 22 move through the first notch and the second notch 31, and the switching assembly 2 is used to switch the water inlet mode. The specific structure (such as shape, size, etc.) of the first notch and the second notch 31 can be set according to the structure of the moving member 22, and the first notch and the second notch 31 can at least allow the moving member 22 to pass through. The water tank housing 1 is also provided with a gripping structure 18 for the user to take out, and the fixed bracket 3 is provided with an opening. The user moves the water tank housing 1 through the opening through the gripping structure 18 to take out the water tank, and the second notch 31 can be set on the bottom edge of the opening, and the first notch can be located at the bottom of the water tank housing 1. The first notch and the second notch 31 are arranged relative to each other.

[0038] Specifically, the switch 21 can be set according to actual application requirements, for example, it can be set to a push-button switch, a touch switch, etc., and the switch 21 can be adjusted to different states, such as an open state or a closed state, by pressing or touching, so that the moving part 22 can be located at a corresponding position, and based on whether the moving part 22 triggers the micro switch 23, it can switch to different water inlet modes (such as automatic water inlet mode, manual water inlet mode). A plurality of water level identification information can be set on the outside of the water tank housing 1, including at least an upper water level identification and a lower water level identification.

[0039] Optionally, the micro switch 23 is located below the second slot 31, and the switching switch 21 is located above the first slot; when the switching switch 21 is in the first preset state, the moving member 22 is located in the first slot, and there is a preset distance between the moving member 22 and the micro switch 23; when the switching switch 21 is in the second preset state, the moving member 22 is located in the second slot 31, and the moving member 22 is in contact with the micro switch 23.

[0040] Specifically, the first preset state can be any one of the open state and the closed state, and the second preset state can be a state other than the first preset state between the open state and the closed state, and the switching switch 21 in different states can correspond to different water inlet modes of the water tank. Take the first preset state as the closed state, and the switching switch 21 in the closed state corresponding to the manual water inlet mode of the water tank as an example, when the switching switch 21 is in the closed state, the moving part 22 is located in the first notch at the bottom of the water tank, and the micro switch 23 is not triggered. At this time, the water tank can be taken out through the gripping structure 18 for manual water addition. When the switching switch 21 is in the open state, the moving part 22 moves to the second notch 31 on the fixed bracket 3, and the micro switch 23 is triggered at the same time, and the automatic water inlet operation can be performed.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present specification, when water is added automatically, the moving member 22 is located in the second notch 31, which can effectively fix the water tank housing 1 to prevent the water tank housing 1 from moving during automatic water addition and causing water leakage.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, if Figure 1-4 As shown, the water tank assembly also includes a first fixed shell body 4, which is fixedly connected to the fixed bracket 3, and the first fixed shell body 4 is sleeved on the outer side of the water tank shell body 1; the water tank shell body 1 is also provided with a water tank water inlet 12, a first water outlet opening 13 and a second water outlet opening 14, and the first fixed shell body 4 is provided with a first water outlet 41 and a second water outlet 42, the water tank water inlet 12 is connected to the water supply end through a first water inlet pipe 15, the first water inlet pipe 15 and the water tank water inlet 12 are detachably connected, the first water outlet opening 13 is connected to the water use end through the first water outlet 41, the first water outlet opening 13 and the first water outlet 41 are detachably connected, and the second water outlet opening 14 and the second water outlet 42 are detachably connected; the water tank assembly also includes a water collecting structure, the water collecting structure is detachably connected to the first fixed shell body 4, and the second water outlet 42 is located in the water collecting structure.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the second water outlet 42 is used to release the water in the water tank shell 1 into the water collection structure. The first fixed shell 4 has the same shape as the water tank shell 1, and the first fixed shell 4 is slightly larger than the water tank shell 1. In addition, the side of the first fixed shell 4 corresponding to the water tank water inlet 12 and the first water inlet pipeline 15 is designed to be open, and no shell is provided, so that the water tank shell 1 can be provided in the first fixed shell 4 and can be taken out from the first fixed shell 4, while minimizing the space occupied. A liquid level sensor can be provided in the water collection structure (not shown), and the liquid level sensor can be used to detect the water surface position information in the water collection structure, so that when the water level in the water collection structure is high, the water in the water collection structure is automatically discharged through the pipeline, or the user is prompted to discharge the water in the water collection structure. Correspondingly, the water tank assembly can also include an alarm device, through which the user can be prompted that the water collection structure needs to be drained. Specifically, the prompting method of the alarm device can include remote prompting, voice prompting, etc., which is not limited here.

[0044] Specifically, the fixed bracket 3 may include a fixed bracket body 32 and a folded edge 33, and the folded edge 33 may be fixedly connected to the first fixed shell 4 by fasteners. Both the folded edge 33 and the first fixed shell 4 may be provided with mounting holes corresponding to the fasteners, and the fasteners include but are not limited to screws.

[0045] Specifically, a spring coil is fixedly arranged in the first water inlet pipe 15, and the first water inlet pipe 15 has a preset length. The spring coil is arranged in the first water inlet pipe 15 to ensure smooth pushing and pulling during the process of taking and putting back the water tank, and to avoid the pipe tangling during the pushing and pulling process, which may cause poor water inlet. After the equipment is used, the water in the water tank housing 1 can be released into the water collection structure through the second water outlet 42 to avoid problems such as water remaining in the water tank and deterioration.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present specification, the moving part 22 can be moved to the corresponding position by changing the state of the switching switch 21, and the contact relationship between the moving part 22 and the micro switch 23 can be determined, so as to switch the water to the corresponding water inlet mode, such as the automatic water inlet mode or the manual water inlet mode. Specifically, in the automatic water inlet mode, water is introduced from the water supply end into the water tank housing 1 through the first water inlet pipe 15 and the water tank water inlet 12. In the manual water inlet mode, the water tank housing 1 can be taken out from the first fixed housing 4 through the opening of the fixed bracket 3, and the connection between the first water inlet pipe 15 and the water tank water inlet 12 is disconnected, and then the water adding operation is performed.

[0047] In actual applications, the setting position of the water tank water inlet 12 on the water tank shell 1 can be set according to actual application requirements. For example, it can be set on the upper shell of the water tank, and the water tank water inlet 12 is also connected to the first water inlet pipe 15. In order to facilitate the removal of the water tank, the upper shell can be set to two parts with different heights, and the water tank water inlet 12 can be set on the lower part of the shell.

[0048] Optionally, a third water outlet 43 is further provided on the first fixed shell 4, and the third water outlet 43 is located in the water collecting structure.

[0049] Specifically, the third water outlet 43 is used to release water between the water tank shell 1 and the first fixed shell 4 into the water collecting structure. The third water outlet 43 can be located at the bottom of the first fixed shell 4. The third water outlet 43 can release water overflowing from the water tank into the first fixed shell 4 into the water collecting structure to avoid dripping into the inside of the equipment and causing safety problems.

[0050] Specifically, detachable guide members may be further provided at the first water outlet 41, the second water outlet 42 and the third water outlet 43. The first water outlet 41 is connected to the water use end through corresponding guide members and pipelines, and the second water outlet 42 and the third water outlet 43 release water into the water collection structure through corresponding guide members, thereby improving the rationality of the internal component settings of the equipment.

[0051] Optionally, a first movable part is arranged in the first water outlet opening 13, a first spring is arranged on the first movable part, and a first push rod corresponding to the first movable part is arranged in the first water outlet 41; a second movable part is arranged in the second water outlet opening 14, a second spring is arranged on the second movable part, and a second push rod corresponding to the second movable part is arranged in the second water outlet 42.

[0052] Specifically, the first push rod and the first spring are used to make the first movable member slide in the first water outlet opening 13, and the second push rod and the second spring are used to make the second movable member slide in the second water outlet opening 14. The first movable member, the first spring and the first push rod can form a movable structure corresponding to the first water outlet opening 13 for facilitating water inlet and water stopping. When the water tank housing 1 is located in the first fixed housing 4, under the driving force of the first push rod, the first movable member extends out of the first water outlet opening 13, the first spring is in a stretched state, and the water in the water tank housing 1 can be supplied to the water use end through the first water outlet opening 13 and the first water outlet 41; when the water tank is taken out, the first movable member is not affected by the driving force of the first push rod, the first spring contracts, and drives the first movable member to move into the first water outlet opening 13, thereby playing a role in water stopping. In the process of taking out the water tank and adding water, the water in the water tank housing 1 will not leak from the opening of the water tank housing 1. The functions of the second movable member, the second spring and the second push rod are similar, and will not be repeated here.

[0053] Optionally, the water tank shell 1 includes a cover body 16 and a first water tank shell 171, the water tank water inlet 12 is fixedly arranged on the cover body 16, the first water outlet opening 13 and the second water outlet opening 14 are fixedly arranged on the first water tank shell 171, and the cover body 16 and the first water tank shell 171 are detachably connected; the first water tank shell 171 is the shell of the water tank shell 1 except the cover body 16.

[0054] Specifically, when the water tank is taken out to add water manually, the cover 16 can be opened to add water.

[0055] Optional, such as Figure 5 As shown, a float assembly 5 is also provided in the water tank shell 1, and the float assembly 5 includes a first float structure 51, a second float structure 52 and a second fixed shell 53. The second fixed shell 53 is fixedly connected to the water tank shell 1, and the second fixed shell 53 forms a first area and a second area. The first float structure 51 is located in the first area, and the second float structure 52 is located in the second area.

[0056] Specifically, the first float structure 51 is used to detect the upper limit water level in the water tank housing 1, and the second float structure 52 is used to detect the lower limit water level in the water tank housing 1. During the water tank inflow process, the first float structure 51 rises with the water level in the water tank. When the first float structure 51 rises to the highest position in the second fixed housing 53 (i.e., the water level in the water tank reaches the upper limit water level), it touches the switch located at the upper part of the second fixed housing 53, and the water tank stops inflowing water; during the water tank outflow process, the second float structure 52 drops with the water level in the water tank. When the second float structure 52 drops to the lowest position in the second fixed housing 53 (i.e., the water level in the water tank reaches the lower limit water level), it touches the switch located at the bottom of the second fixed housing 53. If the water outflow process is the process of supplying water to the water-using end, water needs to be added to the water tank. If the water outflow process is the process of releasing water into the water collection structure, the water discharge operation needs to be stopped. Correspondingly, if the user needs to be prompted to perform corresponding operations, prompts can be given through an alarm device, such as remote prompts, voice prompts, etc.

[0057] The present application also provides a cooking device, such as Figure 6 As shown, it includes an equipment housing 6, a water end housing and the above-mentioned water tank assembly.

The equipment water inlet 61 is connected to the water tank inlet 12 through the first water inlet pipeline 15, and the water inlet is connected to the first water outlet 41 through the second water inlet pipeline.

[0058] Specifically, an equipment water inlet 61 is provided on the equipment housing 6, and a water inlet valve is provided at the equipment water inlet 61 and fixed in the equipment housing 6 by fasteners, which include but are not limited to screws; the equipment water inlet 61 is connected to the water tank water inlet 12 through the first water inlet pipe 15.

[0059] Specifically, the cooking device may include an integrated device with a steam cooking function, and the water end may be a steam cooking device end in the integrated device, such as a steamer, a steam oven, and the like.

[0060] Optionally, the cooking device further comprises a control mechanism, a water inlet valve is fixedly provided at the water inlet, and the control mechanism is electrically connected to the water inlet valve, the micro switch 23 and the float assembly 5 respectively.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the control mechanism may include a first control mechanism and a second control mechanism, the first control mechanism is electrically connected to the water inlet valve, the micro switch 23 and the float assembly 5 respectively, the first water outlet 41, the second water outlet 42 and the third water outlet 43 may also be provided with corresponding water outlet valves, the first control mechanism is electrically connected to the water outlet valve, the first control mechanism is used to control the water tank assembly water filling and water discharge processes in combination with the water inlet valve, the micro switch 23 and the float assembly 5, and the second control mechanism can be used to control other components in the cooking device except the water tank assembly. Specifically, the first control mechanism can be arranged on the outer side of the water tank housing 1, which effectively solves the problem of manual water filling and taking out of the water tank, and the communication is more sensitive.
