[0068] The tower fan 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0069] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the tower fan 1000 according to the embodiment of the utility model is provided with an air outlet 111 and a mist outlet 120 and includes: a wind wheel, a misting device 210 and a controller 220 .

[0070] The wind wheel is used to guide the air to flow toward the air outlet 111, so as to achieve the purpose of using the tower fan 1000 to supply air and ensure the working performance of the tower fan 1000.

[0071] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the controller 220 is electrically connected to the atomizing device 210 to control the atomizing device 210 to discharge mist toward the mist outlet 120, and the controller 220 is arranged above the atomizing device 210 and below the wind wheel. In order to use the controller 220 to control the operation of the atomizing device 210, so that the atomizing device 210 can discharge mist toward the mist outlet 120, and ensure that the water mist generated by the atomizing device 210 can be discharged through the mist outlet 120, and in the process of discharging the water mist, the humidity of the indoor air can be increased, so that the tower fan 1000 of the present application has a humidification function, which improves the user experience.

[0072] At the same time, by arranging the controller 220 below the wind wheel, the controller 220 can be arranged close to the atomization device 210 , thereby reducing the difficulty of electrical connection between the atomization device 210 and the controller 220 .

[0073] That is to say, the present application can provide the tower fan 1000 with a humidification function by providing the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220, thereby enriching the functions of the tower fan 1000.

[0074] At the same time, the controller 220 is arranged above the atomizing device 210. When water leaks from the atomizing device 210, under the action of gravity, the leaked water can flow in a direction away from the controller 220, thereby avoiding damage to the controller 220 caused by the water flowing to the controller 220 to a certain extent, extending the service life of the controller 220 and improving the safety of the tower fan 1000.

[0075] In summary, the present application can prevent the influence of water leakage of the atomizing device 210 on the controller 220 to a certain extent by arranging the controller 220 above the atomizing device 210 .

[0076] At the same time, the above-mentioned configuration can also avoid providing a waterproof coating, a waterproof cover, etc. on the controller 220, thereby simplifying the manufacturing difficulty of the tower fan 1000.

[0077] It can be seen from the above structure that the tower fan 1000 of the embodiment of the utility model, by providing an atomizing device 210 and a controller 220, and arranging the controller 220 below the wind wheel, allows the controller 220 to be arranged close to the atomizing device 210 to form an electrical connection with the atomizing device 210, while also allowing the tower fan 1000 to emit mist toward the room, thereby achieving the purpose of humidifying the indoor air, enriching the functions of the tower fan 1000, and improving the user experience.

[0078] By arranging the controller 220 above the atomizing device 210, it is possible to avoid to a certain extent that water leaking from the atomizing device 210 flows to the controller 220 and causes damage to the controller 220, thereby extending the service life of the controller 220 and improving the safety of the tower fan 1000.

[0079] In other words, the tower fan 1000 of the present application has low connection difficulty, rich functions and high safety in use.

[0080] It can be understood that compared with the prior art, the present application arranges the controller 220 above the atomization device 210 and below the wind wheel, which not only enables the tower fan 1000 to have a humidification function, but also improves the safety of use of the controller 220 to a certain extent and reduces the difficulty of connecting the controller 220 and the atomization device 210.

[0081] In the description of the present utility model, features defined as “first” or “second” may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such features, and are used to distinguish and describe the features, without any distinction in order or importance.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tower fan 1000 includes a first part 100 and a second part 200 . The first part 100 includes a housing 110 and a wind wheel. The housing 110 is provided with an air outlet 111 . The wind wheel is arranged in the housing 110 to guide air to flow toward the air outlet 111 .

[0083] In some embodiments, an air duct is provided in the housing 110, the air duct is connected to the air outlet 111, and a wind wheel is provided in the air duct. During operation, the wind wheel can drive the air in the air duct to flow toward the air outlet 111, thereby achieving the purpose of using the wind wheel to guide the air to flow toward the air outlet 111.

[0084] Optionally, the second part 200 is detachably connected to the first part 100. Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first part 100 and / or the second part 200 is provided with a mist outlet 120, and the second part 200 includes an atomizing device 210 and a controller 220. Here, it means that the mist outlet 120 is provided in the first part 100; or, the mist outlet 120 is provided in the second part 200; or, the mist outlet 120 is provided in both the first part 100 and the second part 200, and the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220 are both provided in the second part 200.

[0085] It is worth noting that the second part 200 of the present application is detachably connected to the first part 100, which can reduce the difficulty of assembling the tower fan 1000, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the tower fan 1000, and on the other hand, it is convenient to remove the first part 100 from the second part 200, which is conducive to cleaning the first part 100 and reducing the difficulty of cleaning the first part 100, that is, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the tower fan 1000.

[0086] That is to say, the present application can reduce the difficulty of assembling and cleaning the tower fan 1000 by detachably connecting the second part 200 to the first part 100.

[0087] In addition, since the second part 200 is detachably connected to the first part 100, the present application arranges the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220 in the second part 200. On the one hand, the controller 220 can be arranged close to the atomizing device 210, reducing the difficulty of electrical connection between the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220. On the other hand, it can avoid disassembling the electrical connection between the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220 when cleaning the tower fan 1000, further reducing the difficulty of cleaning the tower fan 1000, and improving the safety of the tower fan 1000 when cleaning, and allowing the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220 to form a stable electrical connection, thereby ensuring the working performance of the atomizing device 210.

[0088] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the tower fan 1000 has an installation cavity 231 inside, and the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220 are arranged in the installation cavity 231. Therefore, the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220 are both arranged in the tower fan 1000, which reduces the difficulty of electrical connection between the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220, and avoids disassembly of the electrical connection between the atomizing device 210 and the controller 220 when cleaning the tower fan 1000.

[0089] At the same time, by arranging the atomization device 210 and the controller 220 in the installation cavity 231, the side wall of the installation cavity 231 can also be used to protect the atomization device 210 and the controller 220, thereby extending the service life of the atomization device 210 and the controller 220, and facilitating the use of the tower fan 1000 to support the atomization device 210 and the controller 220, thereby improving the position stability of the atomization device 210 and the controller 220, thereby ensuring the working performance of the atomization device 210 and the controller 220.

[0090] In some embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second part 200 includes a support seat 230, and the support seat 230 is formed with a mounting cavity 231, so that the atomization device 210 and the controller 220 can be arranged in the second part 200. At the same time, the support seat 230 can also be used to support and protect the atomization device 210 and the controller 220, thereby extending the service life of the atomization device 210 and the controller 220 and improving the position stability of the atomization device 210 and the controller 220.

[0091] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the controller 220 is provided with a first connecting lug 224, and the support base 230 is provided with a first matching hole 232 facing the first connecting lug 224. The first fastener passes through the first connecting lug 224 and is connected to the first matching hole 232 to connect the controller 220 to the support base 230, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the controller 220 and the support base 230, thereby facilitating the use of the support base 230 to support the controller 220 and improving the position stability of the controller 220.

[0092] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the controller 220 is provided with a plurality of first connecting lugs 224, and the support base 230 is provided with a plurality of first matching holes 232 facing the first connecting lugs 224. The cooperation between the plurality of first connecting lugs 224 and the plurality of first matching holes 232 can increase the connection strength between the support base 230 and the controller 220, thereby further improving the position stability of the controller 220 and ensuring the working performance of the controller 220.

[0093] Optionally, the first fastener is a fastening screw or a fastening bolt, etc.

[0094] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0095] In some embodiments, Figure 7As shown, the atomizer device 210 is provided with a second connecting lug 211, and the support seat 230 is provided with a second matching hole 233 facing the second connecting lug 211. The second fastener passes through the second connecting lug 211 and is connected to the second matching hole 233 to connect the atomizer device 210 to the support seat 230, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the atomizer device 210 and the support seat 230, thereby facilitating the use of the support seat 230 to support the atomizer device 210 and improving the position stability of the atomizer device 210.

[0096] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the atomizer 210 is provided with a plurality of second connecting lugs 211, and the support seat 230 is provided with a plurality of second matching holes 233 facing the second connecting lugs 211. The cooperation between the plurality of second connecting lugs 211 and the plurality of second matching holes 233 can increase the connection strength between the support seat 230 and the atomizer 210, thereby further improving the position stability of the atomizer 210 and ensuring the working performance of the atomizer 210.

[0097] Optionally, the second fastener is a fastening screw or a fastening bolt, etc.

[0098] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, a drainage channel 2311 is provided at the bottom of the installation cavity 231, and the drainage channel 2311 is directly opposite to the atomizing device 210. In this way, when water leaks from the atomizing device 210, under the action of gravity, the leaked water can be discharged along the extension direction of the drainage channel 2311, thereby preventing the leaked water from remaining in the second part 200, further preventing the water from flowing to the controller 220 and causing damage to the controller 220, thereby extending the service life of the controller 220 and improving the safety of the tower fan 1000.

[0099] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the drainage channel 2311 extends downward and away from the mounting cavity 231 to ensure that water leaked from the atomization device 210 can be effectively discharged along the drainage channel 2311 to prevent the leaked water from remaining in the second portion 200 .

[0100] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the drainage channel 2311 is formed on the bottom wall of the support seat 230 , which ensures that the drainage channel 2311 can be arranged directly opposite the atomization device 210 and reduces the difficulty of forming the drainage channel 2311 .

[0101] In some embodiments, Figure 6As shown, the second part 200 also includes a motor 240, the controller 220 is connected to the motor 240 to control the operation of the motor 240, and the motor 240 is detachably coupled with the wind wheel to drive the wind wheel to rotate. Thus, the wind wheel can rotate normally to drive the air in the housing 110 to flow toward the air outlet 111, so as to achieve the purpose of using the tower fan 1000 to supply air and ensure the working performance of the tower fan 1000.

[0102] That is to say, the main function of the motor 240 is to drive the wind wheel to rotate, and the main function of the controller 220 is to control the operation of the motor 240 and the atomization device 210 to ensure the working performance of the motor 240 and the atomization device 210, thereby ensuring the working performance of the tower fan 1000.

[0103] In addition, by detachably coupling the motor 240 with the wind wheel, while ensuring that the motor 240 can drive the wind wheel to rotate, the wind wheel can also be removed from the motor 240 when the first part 100 is disassembled, so as to facilitate cleaning of the first part 100 and reduce the difficulty of cleaning the first part 100.

[0104] In some embodiments, the motor 240 is disposed above the controller 220. While allowing the motor 240 to be disposed close to the controller 220 to form an electrical connection with the controller 220, it can also reduce the difficulty of connecting the motor 240 and the wind wheel, making it easier to use the motor 240 to drive the wind wheel to rotate.

[0105] In some embodiments, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the mist outlet 120 is provided at the first part 100. While the mist outlet 120 is provided on the tower fan 1000, the mist outlet 120 can also be provided close to the air outlet 111, so that the air discharged from the air outlet 111 can be used to drive the water mist at the mist outlet 120 to disperse, thereby improving the mist discharge effect of the tower fan 1000, thereby improving the humidification performance of the tower fan 1000.

[0106] In addition, by arranging the mist outlet 120 in the first part 100 , it is also convenient to clean the mist outlet 120 , thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the mist outlet 120 and ensuring the mist outlet effect of the mist outlet 120 .

[0107] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a first mist outlet channel 130 connected to the mist outlet 120 is provided in the housing 110, and a second mist outlet channel 250 connected to the atomizing device 210 is provided in the second part 200, and the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 are detachably connected. In this way, the water mist generated by the atomizing device 210 can be transported to the mist outlet 120 through the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250, so as to achieve the purpose of misting toward the mist outlet 120, thereby ensuring that the water mist generated by the atomizing device 210 can be effectively discharged through the mist outlet 120, so as to increase the humidity of the indoor air and enrich the functions of the tower fan 1000.

[0108] At the same time, since the first mist outlet channel 130 is arranged in the first part 100 and the second mist outlet channel 250 is arranged in the second part 200, by arranging the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 to be detachably connected, it is also possible to avoid the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 hindering the disassembly of the first part 100 and the second part 200, thereby reducing the difficulty of disassembling the first part 100 and the second part 200, and further reducing the difficulty of cleaning the first part 100.

[0109] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, a sealing member 300 is provided at the connection between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250. The sealing performance of the connection between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 is improved, and the water mist generated by the atomizing device 210 is prevented from being discharged from the connection between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 to a certain extent. In this way, while ensuring the amount of mist at the mist outlet 120, the water mist can also be prevented from affecting the controller 220, and further preventing water from flowing to the controller 220 and causing damage to the controller 220, thereby extending the service life of the controller 220 and improving the safety of the tower fan 1000.

[0110] Optionally, the seal 300 is a sealing ring, and an installation groove is provided on one of the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250, and the sealing ring is arranged in the installation groove to achieve a sealed connection between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250, and improve the sealing effect of the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250.

[0111] In some embodiments, the seal 300 is made of rubber material to reduce the manufacturing cost of the seal 300 and ensure the sealing effect of the seal 300, so as to facilitate the use of the seal 300 to achieve a sealed connection between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250.

[0112] In some embodiments, Figure 8As shown, one of the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 is plugged into the other, and the seal 300 is provided between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250. Here, it means that the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 are plugged into and matched, and the seal 300 is provided between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250, so that the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 are detachably connected, and the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 are also sealed, so as to ensure the amount of mist at the mist outlet 120, and to a certain extent, avoid the influence of water mist on the controller 220.

[0113] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the radial dimension of one of the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 is larger than the radial dimension of the other, thereby facilitating the plug-in fit between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 and reducing the difficulty of connecting the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250.

[0114] In a specific example, Figure 8 As shown, the radial dimension of the second mist outlet channel 250 is larger than that of the first mist outlet channel 130 , and the end of the first mist outlet channel 130 is plugged into the end of the second mist outlet channel 250 to achieve plug-in cooperation between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250 .

[0115] like Figure 8 As shown, an installation groove is provided on the outer periphery of the first mist outlet channel 130, and the sealing member 300 is arranged in the installation groove to realize the sealing member 300 being arranged between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250, thereby realizing the sealed connection between the first mist outlet channel 130 and the second mist outlet channel 250.

[0116] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first docking port 131 of the first mist outlet channel 130 is located in the middle of the front side of the first part 100, and the top of the controller 220 is provided with an avoidance space 270, and a part of the second mist outlet channel 250 is located in the avoidance space 270 so that the second docking port 251 of the second mist outlet channel 250 is located in the middle of the front side of the second part 200, and the first docking port 131 and the second docking port 251 are plugged in and matched. In other words, the first mist outlet channel 130 has a first docking port 131, and the first docking port 131 is located in the middle of the front side of the first part 100, and the second mist outlet channel 250 has a second docking port 251, and the second docking port 251 is located in the middle of the front side of the second part 200, so that when the first part 100 and the second part 200 are docked, the first docking port 131 can be set directly opposite the second docking port 251, so as to facilitate the plug-in and match of the first docking port 131 and the second docking port 251, and reduce the difficulty of connecting the first mist outlet channel 130 with the second mist outlet channel 250.

[0117] In some embodiments, the top of the controller 220 is spaced apart from the top of the support base 230 to form an avoidance space 270 on the top of the controller 220. The avoidance space 270 is used to avoid a portion of the second mist outlet channel 250, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the first mist outlet channel 130 with the second mist outlet channel 250.

[0118] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the mist outlet 120 is formed into a strip extending in the up-down direction, and air outlets 111 are provided on both the left and right sides of the mist outlet 120. Among them, by forming the mist outlet 120 into a strip extending in the up-down direction, the mist outlet range of the mist outlet 120 can be guaranteed, thereby improving the mist outlet effect of the tower fan 1000; by providing air outlets 111 on both the left and right sides of the mist outlet 120, while realizing the rational use of the space on the housing 110, ensuring that the mist outlet 120 and the air outlet 111 can be provided on the housing 110, the mist outlet 120 can also be provided close to the air outlet 111, so that the air discharged from the air outlet 111 can be used to drive the water mist at the mist outlet 120 to disperse, thereby improving the mist outlet effect of the tower fan 1000, thereby improving the humidification performance of the tower fan 1000.

[0119] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet 111 is formed into a long strip extending in the up-down direction to ensure the air outlet range of the air outlet 111, thereby improving the air outlet effect of the tower fan 1000, and ensuring that the air outlet 111 can be effectively arranged on the left and right sides of the mist outlet 120, so that the air discharged from the air outlet 111 can drive the water mist at the mist outlet 120 to disperse outward.

[0120] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the controller 220 includes a control housing 221 and a control board 222. The control housing 221 is provided with a receiving chamber 2211 having an opening. The control board 222 is disposed in the receiving chamber 2211 through the opening. The control housing 221 is disposed above the atomizing device 210. In this way, the controller 220 can be disposed above the atomizing device 210, which can prevent water leaking from the atomizing device 210 from flowing to the controller 220 to damage the controller 220 to a certain extent, prolong the service life of the controller 220, and improve the safety of the tower fan 1000.

[0121] At the same time, by disposing the control board 222 in the accommodating cavity 2211, the control board 222 can be disposed in the control shell 221, so that the control shell 221 can be used to protect and support the control board 222, thereby extending the service life of the control board 222 and improving the position stability of the control board 222 to ensure the working performance of the control board 222.

[0122] In some embodiments, the control board 222 is fixedly connected in the accommodating cavity 2211 so that the control board 222 can be disposed in the accommodating cavity 2211 and the position stability of the control board 222 can be further improved.

[0123] In some embodiments, the control panel 222 is electrically connected to the motor 240 and the atomizing device 210, respectively, so that the controller 220 can be used to control the operation of the motor 240 and the atomizing device 210, thereby ensuring the working performance of the motor 240 and the atomizing device 210, thereby ensuring the working performance of the tower fan 1000.

[0124] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting lug 224 is disposed on the control housing 221 , so as to realize the fixed connection between the controller 220 and the support base 230 by utilizing the first connecting lug 224 and reduce the connection difficulty between the controller 220 and the support base 230 .

[0125] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, a water baffle 223 is provided at the opening of the control housing 221, and the water baffle 223 extends in a direction away from the accommodating cavity 2211. In this way, the water baffle 223 can be used to a certain extent to block the water mist from flowing into the accommodating cavity 2211, thereby preventing the water mist from flowing to the control board 222 and causing damage to the control board 222, thereby extending the service life of the control board 222, that is, extending the service life of the controller 220.

[0126] Optionally, the water baffle 223 is formed as an integral part with the control housing 221. That is, the water baffle 223 is integrally formed on the control housing 221 to ensure the position stability of the water baffle 223, so as to facilitate the use of the water baffle 223 to block the water mist from flowing into the accommodating cavity 2211, thereby ensuring the working performance of the control panel 222.

[0127] In some embodiments, in combination Figure 2 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, one of the first part 100 and the second part 200 is provided with a first stopper 140, and the other is provided with a second stopper 280, and the first stopper 140 is detachably connected to the second stopper 280. The detachable connection between the first part 100 and the second part 200 is realized, and the connection difficulty of the first part 100 and the second part 200 is reduced, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the tower fan 1000, improving the manufacturing efficiency of the tower fan 1000, and facilitating the removal of the first part 100 from the second part 200, which is conducive to cleaning the first part 100 and reducing the cleaning difficulty of the tower fan 1000.

[0128] In some embodiments, in combination Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the second limiting member 280 is provided with a slot 281, and the first limiting member 140 includes a movable portion 141 and an elastic member. The movable portion 141 can be triggered to move between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the unlocked position, the movable portion 141 is disengaged from the slot 281, and the first part 100 can move relative to the second part 200; in the locked position, the movable portion 141 extends into the slot 281, and the elastic member is connected to the movable portion 141 to apply a force to the movable portion 141 to move toward the locked position, so that the first limiting member 140 and the second limiting member 280 cooperate to limit the first part 100. That is to say, when the movable part 141 is triggered to the unlocking position, the movable part 141 is disengaged from the slot 281, and the first part 100 can be moved relative to the second part 200 to achieve the removal of the first part 100 from the second part 200, which is convenient for cleaning the first part 100. When the movable part 141 is triggered to the locking position, the movable part 141 extends into the slot 281, and the elastic member applies a force to the movable part 141 toward the locking position to prevent the movable part 141 from escaping from the slot 281, so that the movable part 141 can be stably arranged in the slot 281, so that the first limit member 140 and the second limit member 280 can be used to limit the first part 100, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the first part 100 and the second part 200, so that the first part 100 can be stably connected to the second part 200, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the tower fan 1000.

[0129] In some embodiments, when the movable portion 141 is in the locked position, when the first portion 100 needs to be removed from the second portion 200, Fig.12 As shown, the first part 100 can be first rotated counterclockwise relative to the second part 200 to allow the movable portion 141 to escape from the slot 281 , and then the first part 100 can be moved to remove the first part 100 from the second part 200 for easy cleaning.

[0130] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, a plurality of first limiting members 140 are provided on the first part 100, and a plurality of second limiting members 280 are provided on the second part 200. The plurality of first limiting members 140 cooperate with the plurality of second limiting members 280 to improve the connection strength between the first part 100 and the second part 200, thereby stabilizing the relative position of the first part 100 and the second part 200, which is beneficial to improving the structural stability of the tower fan 1000.

[0131] In some embodiments, in combination Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, one of the first part 100 and the second part 200 is provided with an inserting portion 282 and the other is provided with an inserting channel 142. When the first part 100 and the second part 200 are fixedly connected, the inserting portion 282 is inserted and matched with the inserting channel 142. This facilitates positioning of the first part 100 and the second part 200, ensures the connection quality of the first part 100 and the second part 200, and reduces the difficulty of connecting the first part 100 and the second part 200.

[0132] In some embodiments, in combination Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, at least a portion of the movable portion 141 is located in the insertion channel 142 at the locked position, and the insertion portion 282 is disposed on the side of the first stopper 140 facing the insertion channel 142. When the insertion portion 282 is inserted into the insertion channel 142, the insertion portion 282 pushes the movable portion 141 to move toward the unlocked position. This ensures that the insertion portion 282 can be effectively inserted into the insertion channel 142, and the insertion and matching of the insertion portion 282 and the insertion channel 142 is achieved, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the first part 100 and the second part 200.

[0133] In some embodiments, Fig.10 As shown, the plug-in portion 282 is provided with a guide slope 2821, which extends obliquely to slide with the movable portion 141, so as to push the movable portion 141 to move when the plug-in portion 282 is inserted into the plug-in channel 142. Thus, the plug-in portion 282 can be effectively inserted into the plug-in channel 142, and the plug-in cooperation between the plug-in portion 282 and the plug-in channel 142 is achieved.

[0134] In a specific example, when the first part 100 is connected to the second part 200, the plug-in portion 282 is firstly aligned with the plug-in channel 142 (eg, Fig.10 As shown), the first part 100 and the second part 200 are then controlled to move relative to each other (as shown Fig.11 As shown in FIG. 2 , during the relative movement of the first part 100 and the second part 200, the plug-in portion 282 pushes the movable portion 141 to move toward the unlocking position, so that the plug-in portion 282 can be effectively inserted into the plug-in channel 142, and then the movable portion 141 is pushed into the slot 281 by the elastic member, and the elastic member always pushes the movable portion 141 to move toward the locking position (as shown in FIG. 2 ). Fig.12 As shown), the first limiting member 140 and the second limiting member 280 cooperate to limit the first part 100; when the first part 100 needs to be removed from the second part 200, the first part 100 is first rotated counterclockwise relative to the second part 200 to make the movable portion 141 disengage from the slot 281, and then the first part 100 is moved to remove the first part 100 from the second part 200, so as to facilitate cleaning of the first part 100.

In this way, during the connection process of the first part 100 and the second part 200, the position change of the first part 100 relative to the second part 200 along the circumferential direction can be avoided, the connection difficulty of the first part 100 and the second part 200 is reduced, and the connection efficiency can be improved.

[0136] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, one of the first positioning member 150 and the second positioning member 290 includes a positioning column and the other includes a positioning hole, and the positioning column is inserted into the positioning hole to achieve the positioning and matching of the first positioning member 150 and the second positioning member 290, thereby reducing the difficulty of connecting the first part 100 and the second part 200.
