Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of humidifiers with detachable water tanks, in particular to a handle system of a detachable water tank on a humidifier. Background Art

[0002] Humidifiers generally consume a lot of water and need to be refilled frequently. In order to make it easier for users to add water, the water tank in some humidifiers is designed to be a detachable structure. Users can remove the water tank from the main structure of the humidifier, and then only need to take the water tank to add water, and then install the filled water tank into the humidifier.

[0003] In order to facilitate the mobile installation of the humidifier water tank, some models of water tanks are provided with handles, and the water tank is carried by the handles. However, such a structure still has some disadvantages. First, the design of the handle causes the thickness of the water tank to be further increased, especially the increase in the ineffective thickness, which makes the structural space in the humidifier more tight and the water storage capacity of the water tank decreases; second, when the water tank is carried by the handle, the water tank will swing back and forth, especially when the water level in the water tank is high, the water in the water tank is easy to overflow, affecting the user experience.

[0004] Due to the above reasons, the inventor has conducted an in-depth study on the existing water tank structure in the hope of designing a new handle system for a detachable water tank on a humidifier that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems, the inventors have conducted intensive research and designed a handle system for a detachable water tank on a humidifier, in which the handle is embedded in the upper cover of the water tank when stored, and when the water tank is lifted by the handle, the handle is locked with the water tank, that is, the handle remains perpendicular to the upper cover of the water tank without relative swing; wherein, the handle is hinged to a hinge seat fixed on the side wall, and the hinged shaft rotates synchronously with the handle, and when the handle is rotated to an upright state, that is, a state perpendicular to the water tank cover, the shaft can be extracted upward into the square hole on the hinge seat, so as to avoid the water tank swinging back and forth relative to the handle when the water tank is lifted, thereby completing the utility model.

[0006] Specifically, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a handle system for a detachable water tank on a humidifier, wherein the water tank comprises an upper cover 1 and a side wall 2, and the handle system comprises a handle 3;

[0007] When stored, the handle 3 is embedded in the upper cover 1;

[0008] When the water tank is lifted by the handle 3, the handle 3 is locked with the upper cover 1, that is, the handle 3 remains perpendicular to the upper cover of the water tank without relative swing.

[0009] Wherein, a receiving groove 11 capable of receiving the handle 3 is formed on the water tank upper cover 1 and is recessed downward. When the handle 3 is stored, the handle 3 is embedded in the receiving groove 11 .

[0010] The depth of the receiving groove 11 is greater than or equal to the thickness of the handle 3 .

[0011] The handle system further comprises a hinge seat 21 fixed on the side wall 2.

[0012] A hinge end 31 is provided at the end of the handle 3 to cooperate with the hinge seat 21;

[0013] The hinge seat 21 and the handle 3 are hinged by the latch mechanism 4 passing through the hinge end 31 and the hinge seat 21, so that the handle 3 can rotate around the hinge seat 21, and the handle 3 is controlled to switch between the storage state and the water tank lifting state.

[0014] A special-shaped through hole is provided in the middle of the hinge seat 21 for the latch mechanism 4 to pass through, and the special-shaped through hole includes a circular hole 51 located at the bottom and a square hole 52 located at the top, and the central axes of the circular hole 51 and the square hole 52 are both horizontally arranged and connected to each other;

[0015] The latch mechanism 4 includes a special-shaped shaft 41 located in the middle, the special-shaped shaft 41 passes through the special-shaped through hole, and the special-shaped shaft 41 can rotate in the circular hole 51;

[0016] The special-shaped shaft 41 rotates synchronously with the handle 3;

[0017] When and only when the handle 3 is rotated to a state perpendicular to the water tank upper cover 1, the special-shaped shaft 41 can further enter upward into the square hole 52, so that the handle 3 is locked with the water tank.

[0018] Among them, from top to bottom, the width of the square hole 52 gradually increases.

[0019] When the special-shaped shaft 41 enters the square hole 52, the inner wall surface of the square hole 52 abuts against the outer wall surface of the special-shaped shaft 41, and the special-shaped shaft 41 and the square hole 52 cannot rotate relative to each other.

[0020] By pushing the handle 3 downward, the special-shaped shaft 41 can be separated from the square hole 52 and enter the round hole 51 , and the handle 3 can drive the special-shaped shaft 41 to rotate in the round hole 51 .

[0021] The latch mechanism 4 further includes an inner limit end 42 inside the special-shaped shaft 41 and an outer limit end 43 outside the special-shaped shaft 41;

[0022] The hinge end 31 includes an inner plate located inside the hinge seat 21 and an outer plate located outside the hinge seat 21; an inner mounting hole 61 is opened on the inner plate, and an outer mounting hole 62 is opened on the outer plate;

[0023] The contour shape of the inner limit end 42 is consistent with the contour shape of the inner mounting hole 61, and the inner limit end 42 is embedded in the inner mounting hole 61;

[0024] The contour shape of the outer limiting end 43 is consistent with the contour shape of the outer mounting hole 62 , and the outer limiting end 43 is embedded in the outer mounting hole 62 .

[0025] The latch mechanism 4 further comprises a bolt 7 which passes through the inner limit end 42 , the special-shaped shaft 41 and the outer limit end 43 in sequence.

[0026] A clearance groove 111 is also provided in the middle of the receiving groove 11 , and the handle 3 is taken out through the clearance groove 111 .

[0027] The beneficial effects of the utility model include:

[0028] (1) The utility model provides a handle system for a detachable water tank on a humidifier, in which the upper cover of the water tank is recessed downward to form a receiving groove capable of accommodating the handle, so that the handle is hidden in the upper cover of the water tank when stored, and the height of the water tank is not increased, making the detachable water tank structure more compact and efficient;

[0029] (2) The utility model provides a handle system for a detachable water tank on a humidifier, in which the handle can rotate relative to the upper cover of the water tank. When the handle is perpendicular to the upper cover of the water tank, the handle can be further pulled upward, thereby pulling the special-shaped shaft that rotates synchronously with the handle into the square hole of the hinge seat, thereby achieving locking between the handle and the water tank. At this time, the water tank is lifted by the handle, and there is no relative swing between the water tank and the handle, which is more stable and prevents water in the water tank from overflowing.
