[0035] In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" 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 directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature being "above" or "below" the second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

[0037] A water tank assembly and an air conditioner having the water tank assembly provided by the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the water tank assembly according to the first embodiment of the utility model includes a water tank frame 1, a water tank cover body 2, a water tank body 3 and a first locking member 4.

[0039] The water tank frame 1 is formed with a communicating accommodation cavity and a draw-out opening 11, the water tank cover 2 is rotatably mounted on the water tank frame 1 to open or close the draw-out opening 11, and the water tank body 3 is drawably fitted in the accommodation cavity.

[0040] The first locking member 4 has a fixed end 41 fixed to the water tank frame 1 and a free end 42 that can swing up and down. A contact portion 43 located in the accommodating cavity is formed between the fixed end 41 and the free end 42. The free end 42 is arranged opposite to the edge of the water tank cover body 2.

[0041] Among them, when the water tank body 3 is separated from the accommodating cavity, the free end 42 is stuck on the edge of the water tank cover 2 so that the water tank cover 2 remains in an open state; when the water tank body 3 is engaged in the accommodating cavity, the bottom of the water tank body 3 presses down the contact part 43 to drive the free end 42 to disengage from the water tank cover 2.

[0042] According to the water tank assembly of the embodiment of the utility model, the specific working process is as follows: when the user needs to add water to the water tank or conduct an inspection, the water tank cover 2 needs to be opened first, and the water tank cover 2 is rotated to align it with the pull-out opening 11 of the water tank frame 1, thereby opening the accommodating chamber. When the water tank cover 2 is in the open state, the user can easily take out or put in the water tank case 3 along the pull-out direction of the accommodating chamber. Among them, when the water tank case 3 is not in the accommodating chamber, the free end 42 of the first stopper 4 will automatically stop on the edge of the water tank cover 2 to keep the water tank cover 2 in the open state. This can prevent the water tank cover 2 from being accidentally closed, causing inconvenience or damage. Once the water tank case 3 is put back in place, that is, when the user needs to put the water tank case 3 back into the accommodating chamber, the bottom of the water tank case 3 will press the contact portion 43 of the first stopper 4 downward, thereby driving the free end 42 connected to the contact portion 43 to swing downward, and at this time the free end 42 is disengaged from the water tank cover 2. In this way, the water tank body 3 can slide smoothly into the accommodating cavity, and the user can rotate the water tank cover body 2 again and close the pull-out opening 11.

[0043] It can be understood that the first stopper 4 is a key component to keep the water tank cover 2 in an open state. It is fixed to the water tank frame 1 through a fixed end 41 and has a free end 42 that can swing up and down. When the water tank body 3 is not in place, the free end 42 will automatically swing to the edge of the water tank cover 2 to achieve the stop function. When the water tank body 3 is placed in the accommodating cavity, its bottom will interact with the contact portion 43 of the first stopper 4, thereby driving the free end 42 and the water tank cover 2 to disengage from the stop. This design ensures that the water tank body 3 can be placed in the correct position and triggers the release mechanism of the stopper. Through this design, the user can complete the water filling, cleaning and maintenance of the water tank without complicated operations. The opening and closing of the water tank cover 2 becomes simple and quick, and the removal and return of the water tank body 3 also become easy and comfortable.

[0044] In summary, according to the water tank assembly of the embodiment of the utility model, by providing the first stopper 4, when the water tank body 3 is separated from the accommodating cavity, the free end 42 of the first stopper 4 can automatically stop at the edge of the water tank cover 2, keeping the water tank cover 2 in an open state. This feature avoids the inconvenience or damage caused by the water tank cover 2 being accidentally closed in the absence of the water tank body 3, and improves the safety during use.

[0045] Furthermore, when the user is maintaining or cleaning the water tank, there is no need to worry about the fixing of the water tank cover 2. The automatic locking function of the first locking member 4 simplifies the operation process, and the user can focus more on the cleaning and maintenance work inside the water tank. In the case where the water tank cover 2 needs to be opened or closed frequently, the design of the first locking member 4 also reduces the number and complexity of manual operations, thereby improving work efficiency and user experience.

[0046] In addition, the first retaining member 4 has a simple and stable structure, and can maintain reliability during long-term use, reducing wear and damage caused by frequent operation, thereby extending the overall service life of the water tank assembly.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, the water tank cover body 2 is hinged to the outer sides of the left and right side walls of the water tank frame 1 through the mounting plates 21 on both sides thereof, one of the left and right side walls of the water tank frame 1 is fixed with a fixed end 41, and the other is provided with an extension hole 12, the free end 42 extends to the outside of the extension hole 12, and the free end 42 can swing in the up and down directions in the extension hole 12, so that the free end 42 is locked or disengaged with the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover body 2.

[0048] In this embodiment, one of the left and right side walls of the water tank frame 1 is fixed with a fixed end 41 of the first clamping member 4, and the other side wall is provided with a protruding hole 12. These two design features together provide necessary space and structural support for the installation and movement of the first clamping member 4.

[0049] The first stopper 4 includes a fixed end 41 and a free end 42. The fixed end 41 is mounted on one side wall of the water tank frame 1, and the free end 42 extends out of the extension hole 12 of the other side wall. The free end 42 is designed to be able to swing in the extension hole 12 in the up and down direction.

[0050] When the free end 42 of the first stopper 4 is located in the extension hole 12 and contacts the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover 2, it can stop the water tank cover 2 to keep it in the open or closed position. When the state of the water tank cover 2 needs to be changed, the free end 42 of the first stopper 4 can be operated to swing up and down, thereby breaking away from the contact with the mounting plate 21, and realizing the opening or closing of the water tank cover 2.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the contact portion 43 is arranged to protrude relative to the fixed end 41 and the free end 42 .

[0052] When the water tank body 3 is fitted into the accommodating cavity, the bottom of the water tank body 3 presses down the contact portion 43 to drive the free end 42 to swing downward in the extension hole 12, and the free end 42 is disengaged from the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover body 2.

[0053] In this embodiment, the contact portion 43 is an integral part of the first retaining member 4, and is located between the fixed end 41 and the free end 42. The contact portion 43 is designed to be convex, which means that it is structurally higher or more prominent than the surrounding components. Such a design enables the contact portion 43 to effectively interact with the bottom of the water tank housing 3 when the water tank housing 3 is fitted into the accommodating cavity.

[0054] When the water tank body 3 is correctly fitted in the accommodating cavity, its bottom will contact the contact portion 43. Due to the convex design of the contact portion 43, the bottom of the water tank body 3 can apply downward pressure to the contact portion 43. This pressure action causes the contact portion 43 to be pressed downward.

[0055] It can be understood that the downward pressure of the contact portion 43 will drive the free end 42 of the first locking member 4 to swing downward in the extension hole 12. This swinging is an important action in the design because it will cause the free end 42 to disengage from the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover body 2. In other words, when sufficient pressure is applied to the bottom of the water tank body 3, the free end 42 will move downward, thereby releasing the fixation to the water tank cover body 2. Once the free end 42 swings downward and disengages from the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover body 2, the water tank cover body 2 can be opened or closed freely. This design ensures that the water tank cover body 2 can be easily operated when needed, and remains stable and safe when the water tank body 3 is in place.

[0056] Thus, through the above design, the water tank assembly realizes a simple and effective mechanical linkage mechanism. The raised setting of the contact portion 43 and the pressure effect at the bottom of the water tank body 3 jointly ensure that the water tank cover 2 can be opened and closed smoothly, while also maintaining the stability and safety of the water tank assembly during use. This design fully considers the convenience of operation and the functionality of the assembly, providing users with an efficient and reliable water tank use experience.

[0057] Furthermore, the fixed end 41 and the free end 42 of the first locking member 4 are both elastic members, and the contact portion 43 is a non-elastic member.

[0058] It can be understood that the fixed end 41 and the free end 42 of the first locking member 4 act as elastic members, so that they can be deformed when subjected to the pressure exerted by the bottom of the water tank body 3, thereby allowing the free end 42 to swing downward in the extension hole 12. When the bottom of the water tank body 3 is removed, the two elastic ends can return to their original positions, thereby preparing for the next locking and release.

[0059] The contact portion 43 is designed as a non-elastic part, which means that it does not have the ability to self-recover after deformation. This design of the contact portion 43 enables it to provide a stable protrusion structure between the fixed end 41 and the free end 42 for effective interaction with the bottom of the water tank body 3. Since the contact portion 43 is not elastic, it can remain stable when pressure is applied to the water tank body 3, ensuring the reliability of the locking and releasing actions.

[0060] Specifically, when the water tank body 3 is fitted into the accommodating cavity, its bottom applies pressure to the contact portion 43, and this pressure is transmitted to the elastic fixed end 41 and the free end 42 of the first locking member 4 through the contact portion 43. Since the fixed end 41 and the free end 42 are elastic members, they can be deformed under the action of pressure, so that the free end 42 swings downward and is disengaged from the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover 2. When the bottom of the water tank body 3 is removed, the elastic end returns to its original state, and the free end 42 returns to the initial position, ready for the next locking action.

[0061] In this way, the fixed end 41 and the free end 42 of the first locking member 4 act as elastic members, which can provide flexible and reliable locking and releasing functions, while the contact portion 43 acts as a non-elastic member, which ensures the stability and durability of the locking point. This design combining elastic and non-elastic materials improves the durability and service life of the entire water tank assembly, while also optimizing the convenience and safety of operation.

[0062] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, a second locking member 5 is further provided on the water tank frame 1; when the water tank cover 2 is closed, the second locking member 5 is engaged with the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover 2 to keep the water tank cover 2 closed.

[0063] In this embodiment, the second stopper 5 is arranged on the water tank frame 1, and cooperates with the first stopper 4, but performs different functions. The position design of the second stopper 5 ensures that it can play a role when the water tank cover 2 is closed.

[0064] The function of the second stopper 5 is as follows: when the water tank cover 2 is in the closed state, the second stopper 5 is engaged with the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover 2. This engaging mechanism ensures that the water tank cover 2 can be firmly held in its position when closed, preventing the cover from being accidentally opened due to external force or other factors.

[0065] In this way, the presence of the second stopper 5 increases the safety of the water tank cover 2 when it is closed. Even if the water tank body 3 is not in the accommodating chamber, or when the first stopper 4 fails to work properly, the second stopper 5 can ensure that the water tank cover 2 remains closed to prevent foreign matter from entering the water tank or liquid leakage in the water tank.

[0066] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the second stopper 5 is an elastic buckle, a through placement opening is provided on the side wall of the water tank frame 1, the elastic buckle is located in the placement opening, and one end of the elastic buckle is fixed to the inner wall of the placement opening, and the other end is spaced apart from the inner wall of the placement opening and forms a clamping protrusion 51. Further, the clamping protrusion 51 protrudes from the side wall of the water tank frame 1.

[0067] In this embodiment, a through placement opening is provided on the side wall of the water tank frame 1, and the placement opening is specially designed for the elastic buckle. The existence of the placement opening provides a fixed and movable space for the elastic buckle, so that it can perform a snap-on action in this space.

[0068] One end of the elastic buckle is fixed to the inner wall of the placement opening, which ensures that the buckle will not fall off from the placement opening when subjected to external force. The other end is spaced from the inner wall of the placement opening to form a snap-on protrusion 51. This design allows the free end 42 of the elastic buckle to be snap-on with the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover 2 without restriction.

[0069] The function of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 51 is as follows: the snap-fit ​​protrusion 51 is the key part of the elastic snap-fit, which protrudes from the side wall of the water tank frame 1 and directly contacts the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover 2. When the water tank cover 2 is closed, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 51 can be embedded in the corresponding groove of the mounting plate 21 to form a firm snap-fit, ensuring that the water tank cover 2 will not be accidentally opened.

[0070] In summary, due to the design of the elastic buckle, the user can easily open or close the water tank cover 2. When the water tank cover 2 needs to be opened, the user only needs to apply a certain force to deform the elastic buckle to release the buckle; after closing the water tank cover 2, the elastic buckle will automatically return to its original state and re-engage to ensure that the water tank cover 2 is tightly closed.

[0071] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of the utility model, a stopper is further provided on the water tank frame 1, and when the water tank cover 2 is opened, the edge of the water tank cover 2 rests on the stopper to keep the water tank cover 2 at a set opening angle.

[0072] Furthermore, the anti-rotation member is an anti-rotation protrusion 6, which is arranged on the outer side of the side wall of the water tank frame 1, and when the water tank cover 2 is opened, the mounting plate 21 of the water tank cover 2 rests on the anti-rotation protrusion 6.

[0073] It can be understood that the main function of the anti-rotation member is to prevent the water tank cover 2 from over-rotating or closing when it is opened. When the water tank cover 2 is opened to a desired angle, the anti-rotation member can provide a physical barrier to ensure that the water tank cover 2 is stable in its position to avoid accidental closing or over-opening due to wind or other external forces.

[0074] The anti-rotation member is specially designed as an anti-rotation protrusion 6, which is arranged on the outer side of the side wall of the water tank frame 1. The position and height of the anti-rotation protrusion 6 are precisely designed according to the size of the water tank cover 2 and the expected opening angle to ensure that the water tank cover 2 can remain stable when resting on it.

[0075] When the water tank cover 2 is opened, the mounting plate 21 will contact and stop against the anti-rotation protrusion 6. This design allows the water tank cover 2 to be kept at a safe and easy-to-operate angle in the open state, and also facilitates users to add water, clean or other maintenance work.

[0076] In summary, the design of the anti-rotation protrusion 6 makes it more convenient for the user to operate the water tank cover 2. The user only needs to rotate the water tank cover 2 to a suitable position, and then it will naturally contact the anti-rotation protrusion 6 and stop without additional fixing or support.

[0077] In addition, by providing the anti-rotation protrusion 6, the water tank assembly of the utility model not only ensures the opening angle of the water tank cover 2, but also improves the overall safety and stability. This design avoids the potential safety hazards caused by accidental closing or excessive opening of the water tank cover 2, ensuring the user's peace of mind during use.

[0078] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model includes the water tank assembly described in the embodiment of the first aspect of the utility model.
