[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A self-cleaning stainless steel water tank comprises a base and a water tank body which is fixedly connected to the base by bolts on the upper surface of the base, the upper surface of the water tank body is fixedly connected to a water inlet, the inner wall of the water tank body is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, the inner wall of the water tank body is provided with a placement groove, the rotating shaft extends to the inner wall of the placement groove and is rotatably connected thereto, a plurality of scrapers are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, the outer wall of the water tank body is fixedly connected to a water outlet, the end of the rotating shaft close to the placement groove is fixedly connected to a driving component for driving the rotating shaft, the upper surface of the scraper is provided with a rectangular groove, the inner wall of the rectangular groove is slidably connected to an adsorption net, and the upper surface of the scraper is slidably connected to a limiting component for limiting the adsorption net.

[0008] The working principle and beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0009] 1. Working principle: When it is necessary to clean the self-cleaning stainless steel water tank, water is introduced into the water tank body from the water inlet. Then, the driving assembly is used to control the rotation of the rotating shaft, so that the rotating shaft drives multiple scrapers fixedly connected to its outer wall to move along the inner wall of the water tank body and clean the inner wall of the water tank body. After the cleaning is completed, the water is discharged from the water outlet. When it is necessary to clean the adsorption net on the inner wall of the scraper, the water tank body is disassembled from the upper surface of the base, and the limit of the adsorption net by the limit assembly is canceled. Then, the adsorption net is taken out from the inner wall of the scraper and cleaned. After the cleaning is completed, the adsorption net is reset and then limited by the limit assembly.

[0010] 2. Beneficial effects:

[0011] (1) The present invention provides a driving assembly. When the inner wall of the self-cleaning stainless steel water tank needs to be cleaned, the driving assembly controls the rotation of the rotating shaft and the scraper so that the scraper cleans the inner wall of the water tank body. This solves the technical problem in the prior art that an anti-overflow stainless steel water tank is not cleaned after long-term use, resulting in a large amount of dirt on the inner wall of the water tank. Manual cleaning of the inside of the water tank is labor-intensive and troublesome.

[0012] (2) This solution sets a limit assembly. The limit assembly limits the position of the adsorption net, preventing the adsorption net from being separated from the scraper due to the impact of the water flow when the adsorption net rotates under the drive of the scraper. In addition, when the adsorption net is not needed, the water tank body can be disassembled, the limit assembly on the adsorption net is removed, and the adsorption net can be taken out and cleaned.

[0013] Preferably, a filter screen is placed on the inner wall of the water inlet. This design allows the filter screen to filter water when the user passes water from the water inlet into the water tank body.

[0014] Preferably, there are two scrapers, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft. This design allows the user to control the rotation of the rotating shaft through the driving assembly, and the rotating shaft drives the scrapers fixedly connected thereto to clean the inner wall of the water tank body more stably.

[0015] Preferably, the outer wall of the scraper is sleeved with a rubber block. This design can effectively reduce the damage caused by the scraper to the inner wall of the water tank body when the scraper is driven by the rotating shaft to rotate along the inner wall of the water tank body and clean the inner wall of the water tank body.

[0016] Preferably, a water receiving box is fixedly connected to one side of the base near the water outlet. This design enables the self-cleaning stainless steel water tank to discharge water from the water outlet into the water receiving box after the drive assembly drives the scraper to clean the inner wall of the water tank body.

[0017] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a first bevel gear fixedly connected to the outer wall at one end of the rotating shaft, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the base, one end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a motor, the rotating rod passes through the outer wall of the base and extends to the inside of the placement slot, and the end of the rotating rod close to the placement slot is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear, and the second bevel gear is meshingly connected to the first bevel gear. When it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the water tank body, the rotating rod fixedly connected thereto is driven by the motor to rotate, so that the rotating rod drives the second bevel gear fixedly connected to one end thereof. Since the second bevel gear and the first bevel gear are meshingly connected, the second bevel gear will drive the first bevel gear to rotate, so that the first bevel gear drives the rotating shaft fixedly connected thereto to rotate, and the rotating shaft then drives the scraper fixedly connected to its outer wall to rotate and clean the inner wall of the water tank body.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting assembly includes a moving rod slidably connected to the upper surface of the scraper, a triangular groove is provided on the side of the moving rod close to the adsorption net, a metal block is slidably connected inside the triangular groove, a limiting groove is provided on the side of the adsorption net close to the moving rod, a magnet is embedded inside the triangular groove, the upper surface of the moving rod is rotatably connected to the limiting rod, the limiting rod passes through the moving rod, extends to the inner wall of the adsorption net, and is threadedly connected to the adsorption net. When it is necessary to limit the adsorption net, the limit rod is rotated to make the limit rod move along the inner wall of the adsorption net. After the limit rod moves, it cannot support the moving rod, and the moving rod will drop due to gravity, causing the triangular groove opened on one side of the moving rod to squeeze the metal block. After the moving rod moves a certain distance, the metal block will move to the inside of the limit groove. At the same time, the outer wall of the moving rod will block the metal block to complete the limitation of the adsorption net. When it is necessary to clean the adsorption net, the water tank body is removed from the upper surface of the base, and the limit rod is rotated to make the limit rod drive the moving rod to rise. When the moving rod rises a certain distance, the magnet embedded in the triangular groove will adsorb the metal block to the inside of the triangular groove, and then the adsorption net is separated from the scraper. After the adsorption net is cleaned, the adsorption net is reset. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
