Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electric iron water tank connection, and in particular relates to a convenient water tank connection structure for an electric iron. Background Art

[0002] As a widely used clothing ironing tool in the home and industrial fields, the functionality and convenience of electric irons directly affect the user experience. Traditional electric irons are composed of key components such as the main body, heating element, spray system and water tank, among which the water tank is mainly used to store water for steam generation. The design and connection structure of the water tank are crucial to the performance of the electric iron and the safety of the user. In the early designs of electric irons, the water tank mostly adopted a fixed structure, that is, the water tank was directly welded or bonded to the main body of the electric iron. Although this design ensures the stability of the water tank, it has obvious disadvantages. First, the non-detachable water tank limits the versatility of the electric iron, and users cannot easily add or replace water, which affects the practicality of the equipment. Secondly, once the fixed water tank is damaged, the entire electric iron may need to be scrapped or expensively repaired, which increases the financial burden on users.

[0003] With the development of technology, detachable water tanks have gradually become the mainstream trend in the design of electric irons. However, the traditional detachable water tank connection structure often has the following problems: First, the connection is unstable. The water tank is easy to loosen or even fall off during use, causing water leakage, which not only affects the ironing effect, but also may cause safety hazards. Second, it is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble. The traditional connection structure often requires complicated operation steps, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing the user experience. Third, the sealing is poor. After long-term use, the sealing ring at the connection part is prone to aging, causing the water tank to leak, affecting the normal operation of the electric iron. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a convenient water tank connection structure for an electric iron, which can solve the problem that the water tank of a traditional electric iron is fixed and detached in the form of a button and a lock, which is inconvenient to use, has a complex structure, and has a large number of parts.

[0005] The utility model is achieved in this way:

[0006] The utility model provides a convenient water tank connection structure for an electric iron, which comprises a mounting lock and a self-locking slot, wherein one side of the mounting lock is fixed at a position where a main body of the electric iron is connected to a water tank, and one side of the self-locking slot is fixed at a position where the water tank is close to the main body of the electric iron, and the mounting lock and the self-locking slot are arranged on the electric iron in parallel and correspondingly; the mounting lock is engaged in the interior of the self-locking slot to realize locking and detachment of the main body of the electric iron and the water tank.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical solution, the convenient water tank connection structure for an electric iron of the utility model can also be improved as follows:

[0008] Among them, the installation lock includes a support member and a clamping member, the support member is a door-shaped structure with a groove on one side, and the opening of the groove faces the water tank; the clamping member is a prism structure, and the side with the largest cross-sectional area is integrally connected to the top plane of the support member.

[0009] Furthermore, a side of the support member away from the groove and a position where the support member is connected to the clamping member are arranged as an integral plane.

[0010] Furthermore, the self-locking slot includes a mounting slot, a spring and a locking piece, the mounting slot is a T-shaped structure, the locking piece is arranged inside the mounting slot, and the bottom of the locking piece is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the mounting slot through the spring.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing groove is provided on the side wall of the installation groove, and the shape of the fixing groove is matched with the shape of the locking piece.

[0012] Furthermore, the locking member includes a pressing member and a fixing member, the pressing member is a trapezoidal structure, and the fixing member includes two members, which are movably connected to the top of the pressing member respectively.

[0013] Furthermore, a protrusion is provided at a relative position on the inner side of the fixing member, and the protrusion is used to engage the clamping member.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme is that the overall structural strength and durability are enhanced by arranging the side of the support member away from the groove and the position where the support member is connected to the clamping member in an integrated plane.

[0015] The T-shaped mounting slot and the matching fixing slot design provide a more stable and reliable snap-in effect.

[0016] The design of the pressing piece and the fixing piece makes the locking and unlocking operations simpler and more intuitive, while the protrusion further ensures the fixing effect of the clip.

[0026] The locking piece is arranged inside the installation groove and is fixedly connected by a spring, so as to ensure that the locking piece can be automatically engaged and locked when inserted into the clamping piece.

[0027] Matching of fixing groove and locking piece:

[0028] A fixing groove is arranged on the side wall of the installation groove, and its shape is matched with the locking piece, so as to ensure that the locking piece will not slide or fall off in the engaged state, thereby increasing the stability of the connection.

[0029] Locking parts structure:

[0030] The pressing piece is a trapezoidal structure, which is convenient for the user to apply force and ensure the insertion and locking of the card connector.

[0031] The fixing parts include two parts, which are movably connected to the top of the lower pressing part respectively, providing a flexible clamping and fixing method.

[0032] The protrusion design is a protrusion arranged at a relative position on the inner side of the fixing piece, which is used to engage the connecting piece, providing additional locking force to ensure that the water tank will not loosen or fall off during use.
