Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] Please refer to the attached Figures 1 to 6The embodiment of the present application provides a water tank assembly 100, which is applied to a water purifier. The water tank assembly 100 includes a box body 10 and a water flow member 20. The water flow member 20 is arranged on the inner side of the box body 10. The box body 10 serves as a supporting component of the water tank assembly 100 and supports the water flow member 20. At this time, the water flow member 20 is in the box body 10 and forms a water path, so that water can be guided through the water path, thereby stratifying the water. Therefore, the hot water at the water inlet end 11 is discharged in a spiral downward direction through the water path 21, so that the hot water is stratified, ensuring that the hot water flows in an orderly manner under the guidance of the water path 21, and heat exchange is performed on the hot water in sequence, so as to avoid the hot water from running around, and ensure the heat exchange effect of the water tank assembly 100.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, the box body 10 is provided with a water inlet 11 and a water outlet 12; the water inlet 11 is higher than the water outlet 12; the water inlet 11 is used for hot water to enter; the water outlet 12 is used for normal temperature water to discharge. At this time, the water inlet 11 is at the top of the box body 10, and the water outlet 12 is at the peripheral side of the box body 10. The water inlet 11 is higher than the water outlet 12. There is a height difference between the water inlet 11 and the water outlet 12, and the height difference is fully utilized for drainage, so that the hot water input through the water inlet 11 flows to the water outlet 12 under its own gravity, avoiding the use of a power device and reducing the overall cost of the water tank assembly 100.

Optionally, the temperature of the normal temperature water is lower than that of the warm water.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the water passing member 20 is accommodated in the box body 10; the water passing member 20 is provided with a water channel 21, which is arranged in a spiral downward, the head end of the water channel 21 is connected to the water inlet end 11, and the end of the water channel 21 is connected to the water outlet end 12.
