[0034] The following examples illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited by these examples. Modifications to the specific embodiments of the present invention or equivalent replacements of some technical features without departing from the spirit of the present invention should be included in the scope of the technical solution claimed in the present invention.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] like Figure 1-11 A water tank 100 includes a water tank shell 1 and a water tank body 2. A cavity 11 with an opening on one side is formed in the water tank shell 1. The water tank body 2 is movably installed in the water tank shell 1. A clamping column 23 is provided on the water tank body. An installation cavity is provided on the water tank shell 1. A locking structure is provided in the installation cavity. The locking structure is used to lock the clamping column. The locking structure includes a marble, an elastic member and a screw. The elastic member is arranged between the marble and the screw to clamp the clamping column through the marble to limit the water tank body 2 from being separated from the water tank shell 1.

[0037] The present utility model provides a water tank 100, wherein the water tank body is installed in a water tank housing 1. One end of an elastic member in a mounting cavity abuts against the screw and the other end abuts against the marble, so that the marble extends out of the mounting cavity to engage the latch 23, thereby preventing the water tank body from separating from the water tank housing. Furthermore, under the action of a certain external force, the water tank body 2 can be pulled out of the water tank housing 1. When the water tank body is set in the water tank housing, the water tank body can be prevented from separating from the water tank housing. Under the action of an external force, the water tank body 2 can also be pulled out of the water tank housing 1, thereby facilitating use by the user. The water tank body can be engaged to be installed in the water tank housing, while also being easily pulled out.

[0038] A snap-fitting hole 13 is formed on the water tank shell, and the installation cavity includes a first installation cavity 151 and a second installation cavity 161. A snap-fitting channel 14 is formed between the first installation cavity 151 and the second installation cavity 161, and the snap-fitting hole 13 is connected to the snap-fitting channel 14. The clamping column 23 passes through the snap-fitting hole 13 and extends into the snap-fitting channel 14 to connect the water tank body 2 and the water tank shell 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, a first housing 15 and a second housing 16 are provided on the back plate of the water tank housing 1 near the engaging hole 13. A first mounting cavity 151 is formed in the first housing 15, and a second mounting cavity 161 is formed in the second housing 16. The first mounting cavity 151 and the second mounting cavity 161 are respectively communicated with the engaging channel 14.

[0040] The marbles include a first marble 71 and a second marble 72. The first marble 71 extends toward the locking channel 14 in the first installation cavity 151, and the second marble 72 extends toward the locking channel 14 in the second installation cavity 161, so as to clamp the clamping column by extending the first marble 71 and the second marble 72.

[0041] In this embodiment, the latching column 23 is narrowed to form a latching position 231 .

[0042] The first and second marbles 71 and 72 engage with the locking post 23 at the locking position. When the water tank body 2 is inserted into the water tank housing 1 and the locking post 23 extends from the locking hole 13 into the locking channel 14, the first and second marbles 71 and 72 engage with the locking post 23 to prevent the water tank body 2 from being separated from the water tank housing 1. When the water tank body is inserted into the water tank housing and the locking position of the locking post 23 engages with the first and second marbles 71 and 72, a snapping sound is emitted, indicating that the water tank body is properly installed in the water tank housing and is locked in place.

[0043] The elastic member includes a first elastic member 73 and a second elastic member 74. The first elastic member 73 is arranged in the first mounting cavity 151, and the first elastic member 73 is offset against the first marble 71. The second elastic member 74 is arranged in the second mounting cavity 161, and the second elastic member 74 is offset against the second marble 72.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first installation cavity 151 and the second installation cavity 161 are cavities connected at both ends.

[0045] The screws include a first screw 75 and a second screw 76, and a first internal thread is formed in the first mounting cavity 151. The first screw 75 extends into the first mounting cavity 151 through the first internal thread and contacts the first elastic member. A second internal thread is formed in the second mounting cavity. The second screw extends into the second mounting cavity through the second internal thread and contacts the second elastic member.

[0046] One end of the first elastic member 73 contacts the first screw 75, and the other end contacts the first marble 71, so as to keep the first marble 71 extending from the first mounting cavity 151 toward the engaging channel 14. Furthermore, the position of the first elastic member 73 and the first marble 71 in the first mounting cavity 151 can be adjusted by the length of the first screw 75 inserted into the first mounting cavity 151, thereby adjusting the distance that the first marble 71 protrudes from the first mounting cavity 151 toward the engaging channel 14.

[0047] One end of the second elastic member 74 contacts the second screw 76, and the other end contacts the second marble 72, so as to keep the second marble 72 extending from the second mounting cavity 161 toward the engaging channel 14. Furthermore, the position of the second elastic member 74 and the second marble 72 in the second mounting cavity 161 can be adjusted by the length of the second screw 76 inserted into the second mounting cavity 161, thereby adjusting the distance that the second marble 72 protrudes from the second mounting cavity 161 into the engaging channel 14.

[0048] The water outlet 19 is provided with a water outlet nozzle 191, which extends toward the water outlet channel to form an abutment column 192. A water-related shaft 261 is provided at the water inlet end of the water outlet channel 26. A spring 262 is provided on the water-off shaft 261, and an abutment cap is provided on the water-off shaft 261. One end of the spring abuts against the water inlet end of the water outlet channel, and the other end abuts against the abutment cap to maintain the state in which the water-off shaft closes the water inlet end of the water outlet channel. When the water tank body 2 is inserted into the water tank shell, the abutment column extends into the water flow channel and pushes the water-off shaft 261 forward to open the water inlet end of the water outlet channel, allowing water in the water tank body to flow out through the water outlet pipe and the water outlet channel through the water outlet.

[0049] The arrangement of the water shut-off shaft can prevent water leakage from occurring when the water tank body is pulled out to the water tank shell.

[0050] A handle 21 is formed on the water tank body 2, and the water tank body 2 is arranged in the cavity 11. The water tank body 2 can be pulled out of the water tank shell 1 by the handle 21. A partition 22 is formed at the handle 21, and a handle groove 3 is formed between the partition 22 and the front plate of the water tank body 2. A water storage cavity 4 is formed between the partition 22 and the back plate of the water tank. The partition 22 is formed by extending upward from the bottom of the water tank body 2, and there is a spacing between the partition 22 and the top of the water tank body 2 to connect the handle groove 3 with the water storage cavity 4. The water inlet end of the return pipe 5 is connected to the handle groove 3, and the water outlet end of the return pipe 5 is connected to the water storage cavity 4.

[0051] A handle 21 is provided, by which the water tank body 2 can be pulled in or out of the water tank shell 1. When the water tank is molded, due to the provision of the handle 21, a partition 22 will be formed at the handle 21, which separates the water tank body 2 into a water storage chamber 4 and a handle groove 3, and the partition 22 is formed by extending from bottom to top, and there is a distance between the partition 22 and the top of the water tank, so that the handle groove 3 and the water storage chamber 4 are interconnected at the top, that is, when water is added to the water tank body 2, when a certain amount of water is added, the water will overflow from the water storage chamber 4 into the handle groove 3, so that there is water in the handle groove 3. After a certain amount of water in the water tank body 2 is used, the water in the water storage chamber 4 gradually decreases, but due to the existence of the partition 22, the water in the handle groove 3 cannot be used, then the water in the handle groove 3 can be passed into the water storage chamber 4 through the return pipe 5, so that the water in the handle groove 3 can be effectively utilized, thereby avoiding water accumulation in the handle groove 3.

[0052] In this embodiment, a water inlet 24 is provided on the water tank body 2 , and the water inlet 24 is communicated with the water storage chamber 4 .

[0053] In this embodiment, the return water pipe 5 includes a water inlet portion 51, a water flow portion 52 and a water outlet portion 53. The water inlet portion 51 and the water inlet end of the water inlet portion 51 are extended upward, the water outlet end of the water inlet portion 51 is connected with the water flow portion 52, the water outlet end of the water flow portion 52 is connected with the water inlet end of the water outlet portion 53, and the water outlet end of the water outlet portion 53 is close to the bottom of the water storage chamber 4.

[0054] In this embodiment, the water in the handle groove 3 flows back into the water storage chamber 4 through the water inlet portion 51 , the water flow portion 52 and the water outlet portion 53 of the return pipe 5 .

[0055] The water inlet 51 is extended upward, and a perforation is provided on the partition 22. The water flow part 52 is penetrated by the perforation, and one end of the water flow part 52 is connected to the water inlet 51 and the other end is connected to the water outlet 53. In this embodiment, the water flow part 52 is arranged in the horizontal direction.

[0056] The water outlet 53 is at one end of the water storage chamber 4. In some embodiments, the water outlet 53 is arranged in a horizontal direction; in some embodiments, the water outlet 53 is extended upward, and the upward extension length of the water outlet 53 is lower than the water inlet 51, so that due to the higher water level and water pressure at the end of the water inlet 51, water can flow through the water flow portion 52 to the water outlet 53.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] like Figure 12-13 A steamer includes a steamer front plate 200 and the water tank 100 described above. A fastener 18 is provided on the water tank shell 1, and the fastener 18 is engaged with the steamer front plate 200 to install the water tank on the steamer front plate 200.

[0059] The utility model provides a steam box, which can not only engage a water tank body to install the water tank body in a water tank shell, but also facilitates pulling out the water tank body.

[0060] An opening is provided on the front plate 200 of the steamer, and a step portion 201 is formed at the edges around the opening, and an extended edge 202 is extended downward from the step portion 201. A protruding edge 101 is extended outward at the edges around the water tank shell 1, and the protruding edge is matched with the fastener 18. When the water tank is installed on the steamer, the protruding edge 101 overlaps the step portion 201, and the fastener 18 is against the extended edge 202.

[0061] When the water tank is mounted on the steamer, the protruding edge 101 overlaps the step, limiting the water tank's rearward movement on the steamer's front panel. The fastener 18 abuts against the extended edge, limiting the water tank's forward movement on the steamer's front panel. The water tank is then mounted on the steamer, limiting its position on the steamer.

[0062] It also includes a steamer inner tank. A residual water recovery hole 17 is provided on the water tank shell 1. The residual water recovery hole 17 is connected to the steamer inner tank through a recovery pipe.

[0063] Since the water tank body 2 is installed in the water tank shell 1, there is inevitably an installation gap between the water tank body 2 and the water tank shell 1. When water is added to the water tank body 2, water may enter the installation gap between the water tank shell 1 and the water tank body 2. At this time, the water in the installation gap can be passed into the inner tank through the residual water recovery hole 17 to avoid water accumulation between the water tank body 2 and the water tank shell 1.

[0064] A water outlet pipe 25 and a water outlet channel 26 are provided in the water tank body 2 , and a water outlet 19 is provided on the water tank shell 1 . The water outlet end of the water outlet pipe 25 is connected to the water outlet 19 through the water outlet channel 26 .

[0065] The outlet pipe 25 comprises a vertically arranged main body and a curved pipe formed by bending the top of the pipe toward the outlet. The water inlet end of the outlet channel 26 extends into the curved pipe, and the outlet end of the outlet channel 26 communicates with the outlet 19. A sealing ring is provided between the outer side of the outlet channel 26 and the curved pipe.

[0066] The above preferred embodiments should be regarded as examples of the implementation methods of the present application scheme. Any technical deductions, replacements, improvements, etc. that are identical or similar to the present application scheme or made based on it should be regarded as within the scope of protection of this patent.
