DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0029] In the description of the present utility model, "several" means one or more, "more" means more than two, "greater than", "less than", "exceed" etc. are understood to exclude the number itself, and "above", "below", "within" etc. are understood to include the number itself. If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The utility model discloses a water tank installation structure, comprising: an electrical appliance body 100, wherein the electrical appliance body 100 is provided with an installation cavity 110 with an opening, and the electrical appliance body 100 is provided with a first clamping piece 120 on the bottom wall of the installation cavity 110; a water tank part 200, which can slide in and out of the installation cavity 110 along the front-rear direction, and the bottom of the water tank part 200 is provided with a second clamping piece 210 matched with the first clamping piece 120; wherein, at least one supporting protrusion 300 is respectively provided on the left and right sides of the upper part of the water tank part 200, and the electrical appliance body 100 is provided with a mounting groove 400 for the supporting protrusion 300 to enter and exit, and the opening direction of the mounting groove 400 is consistent with the opening direction of the mounting cavity 110, and the supporting protrusion 300 abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove 400 to support the water tank part 200 and stably combine the second clamping piece 210 and the first clamping piece 120.
[0032] When the water tank member 200 enters the installation cavity 110, the support protrusions 300 located on the left and right sides of the upper part of the water tank member 200 enter the corresponding installation grooves 400, and the support protrusions 300 abut against the bottom of the installation grooves 400 to support the water tank member 200. At the same time, the first clamping member 120 and the second clamping member 210 are closely matched, thereby preventing the water tank member 200 from being deformed by water pressure or gravity, forming a stable installation effect to avoid accidental separation of the water tank member 200, and also facilitating the user to smoothly install and remove the water tank member 200. It can be understood that, in the case where the water tank member 200 is not provided with the support protrusions 300, when the water level in the water tank member 200 gradually rises, the water pressure causes the middle and upper part of the water tank member 200 to be greatly deformed, and the first clamping member 120 and the second clamping member 210 cannot be closely matched. The above water tank installation structure can solve the above problem.
[0033] See also Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the utility model, in order to prevent the support protrusion 300 from detaching from the mounting groove 400 and causing the support protrusion 300 to fail to function, a limiting mechanism 500 is provided between the support protrusion 300 and the mounting groove 400 to limit the support protrusion 300 from detaching along the opening of the mounting groove 400.
[0034] See also Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments of the utility model, the limiting mechanism 500 includes a positioning groove 520 formed at the bottom of the installation groove 400 and a positioning protrusion 510 formed at the lower end of the supporting protrusion 300. The positioning protrusion 510 is subjected to the gravity of the water tank component 200 to press downward against the positioning groove 520. There is a height gap between the upper end surface of the water tank component 200 and the electrical appliance body 100 that can lift the water tank component 200. It can be understood that when the positioning protrusion 510 is engaged with the positioning groove 520, the water tank component 200 is not easy to detach from the electrical body 100 when the electrical body 100 is moved by a horizontal thrust. When the water tank component 200 needs to be removed from the electrical body 100, the water tank component 200 can be lifted to a certain height to separate the positioning protrusion 510 and the positioning groove 520, and then the water tank component 200 can be pulled out of the installation cavity 110. Similarly, when installing the water tank component 200, the water tank component 200 can be lifted to a certain height and the water tank component 200 can be pushed into the installation cavity 110 until the positioning protrusion 510 is located directly above the positioning groove 520 and the water tank component 200 is released.
[0035] Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting mechanism 500 may also be replaced by a magnetic attraction component, which includes two mutually attractive magnetic elements respectively disposed on the supporting protrusion 300 and the mounting groove 400 .
[0036] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the front and rear ends of the positioning protrusion 510 are provided with guide slopes 511. When the water tank component 200 slides in and out of the installation cavity 110 along the front-to-back direction, the guide slopes 511 can abut against the bottom wall of the installation groove 400 to lift the water tank component 200 and make the positioning protrusion 510 and the positioning groove 520 combined or separated.
[0037] It is understandable that when a large amount of water is stored in the water tank component 200, it is difficult to lift the water tank component 200 slightly. At this time, it is only necessary to drive the water tank component 200 to slide along the front-to-back direction into the installation cavity 110. When the supporting protrusion 300 is about to enter the installation groove 400, the guide slope 511 located at the front end of the positioning protrusion 510 first contacts the lower edge of the opening of the installation groove 400. As the supporting protrusion 300 is pushed forward along the depth direction of the installation groove 400, the water tank component 200 is passively lifted to a certain height until the positioning protrusion 510 is located directly above the positioning groove 520, and the positioning protrusion 510 and the positioning groove 520 are tightly combined under the action of the gravity of the water tank component 200. When the water tank component 200 needs to be removed, it is only necessary to apply a large external force to pull the water tank component 200 out in the front-to-back direction. The guide slope 511 located at the rear end of the positioning protrusion 510 contacts the rear edge of the positioning groove 520 to passively lift the water tank component 200, and the positioning protrusion 510 and the positioning groove 520 can be separated.
[0038] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, in the front-to-back direction of the water tank member 200, the support protrusion 300 is located in the middle of the upper edge of the water tank member 200, which helps to balance the force of the water tank member 200 in the front-to-back direction. Compared with the support protrusion 300 located at the front and rear ends of the upper edge of the water tank member 200, the water tank member 200 is not easy to swing forward or backward. In this embodiment, the support protrusion 300 and the water tank member 200 are made by integral injection molding, and the support protrusion 300 is located in the middle of the upper edge of the water tank member 200, which is also conducive to extending the service life of the support protrusion 300.
[0039] See also Figure 3In some embodiments of the utility model, the water tank component 200 includes a narrow-side rectangular shell 201 and a wide-side rectangular shell 202, the left side of the wide-side rectangular shell 202 protrudes from the left side of the narrow-side rectangular shell 201, and the right side of the wide-side rectangular shell 202 protrudes from the right side of the narrow-side rectangular shell 201, the left side wall of the narrow-side rectangular shell 201 and the left side wall of the wide-side rectangular shell 202 are connected through a left step plate 203, and the right side wall of the narrow-side rectangular shell 201 and the right side wall of the wide-side rectangular shell 202 are connected through a right step plate 204, the two supporting protrusions 300 are respectively located at the upper part of the left step plate 203 and the upper part of the right step plate 204, the width dimension of the installation cavity 110 is adapted to the narrow-side rectangular shell 201, and the upper edges on both sides of the opening of the installation cavity 110 are respectively provided with a mounting groove 400. It is understandable that if the two supporting protrusions 300 protrude from the left and right sides of the water tank member 200 respectively, the water tank member 200 is prone to displacement in the left and right directions after entering the installation cavity 110, resulting in structural instability, and is also prone to damage the first clamping member 120 and the second clamping member 210. The water tank member 200 composed of the narrow rectangular shell 201 and the wide rectangular shell 202 can avoid this problem. Specifically, the water tank member 200 is in a "convex" shape as a whole, and the narrow rectangular shell 201 and the wide rectangular shell 202 are the smaller end and the larger end of the water tank member 200 respectively. When installing the water tank member 200, the narrow rectangular shell 201 is first pushed into the installation cavity 110, and the wide rectangular shell 202 is against the opening of the installation cavity 110, and then the two supporting protrusions 300 are respectively entered into the installation grooves 400 located on both sides of the opening of the installation cavity 110, and the water tank member 200 will not move left and right relative to the electrical body 100.
[0040] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, a left end plate 130 fitted with the left step plate 203 and a right end plate 140 fitted with the right step plate 204 are respectively provided on both sides of the opening of the installation cavity 110, thereby increasing the contact area between the wall panel of the water tank component 200 and the electrical appliance body 100 and preventing the water tank component 200 from deforming as much as possible. The two installation grooves 400 are respectively arranged along the upper concave portion of the left end plate 130 and the upper concave portion of the right end plate 140.
[0041] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments of the utility model, the electrical main body 100 is provided with a plurality of guide ribs 150 on the top wall of the installation cavity 110, which can abut against the top wall of the water tank part 200. The guide ribs 150 are extended in the front-to-back direction and support the water tank part 200 downward. It can be understood that when the parts of the electrical main body 100 located above the water tank part 200 are heavy, it is easy to cause the top wall of the installation cavity 110 to bulge downward or collapse. At this time, the guide ribs 150 can not only alleviate the degree of collapse, but also form a line contact with the upper surface of the water tank part 200, avoiding the problem that the water tank part 200 is difficult to push into the installation cavity 110 due to surface contact.
[0042] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, in order to guide the water tank member 200 to slide in and out of the installation cavity 110, so as to achieve the purpose of smoother installation and removal of the water tank member 200, the electrical appliance body 100 is provided with a guide ridge 160 extending in the front-back direction on the bottom wall of the installation cavity 110, the cross-sectional area of the guide ridge 160 gradually increases along the depth direction of the installation groove 400, and the bottom wall of the water tank member 200 is formed with a guide groove 220 matching the shape of the guide ridge 160. In order to achieve a better relaxation effect and ensure that the water tank member 200 will not be separated or moved when the electrical appliance body 100 moves, the first clamping member 120 is an elastic clamping part formed on the bottom wall of the installation cavity 110, and the second clamping member 210 is a clamping groove formed on the bottom wall of the water tank member 200, the two elastic clamping parts are located on both sides of the guide ridge 160, and the two clamping grooves are located on both sides of the guide groove 220.
[0043] See also Figure 1 The utility model also discloses a dehumidifier, including a water tank installation structure of any of the above-mentioned technical solutions; the dehumidifier uses the supporting protrusions 300 located on the left and right sides of the upper part of the water tank part 200 to abut against the bottom of the corresponding installation groove 400 to support the water tank part 200, thereby preventing the water tank part 200 from being deformed by water pressure or gravity, forming a stable installation effect to avoid accidental detachment of the water tank part 200, and also facilitating users to smoothly install and remove the water tank part 200.
[0044] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
