[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. 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.

[0037] The present application embodiment provides a screw mounting column structure, for example, see Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the screw mounting column provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The cross-sectional view of the screw installation column structure along the AA direction is shown. The screw installation column structure 100 includes a connecting plate 110 and a screw installation column 120 .

[0038] The connecting plate 110 includes a first surface 111 and a second surface 112 opposite to each other; the screw mounting column 120 is connected to the first surface 111 , and a glue reducing groove 130 is formed in an area of ​​the second surface 112 corresponding to the screw mounting column 120 .

[0039] It should be noted that a thread groove for assembling the screw is provided on the screw mounting column 120 ; the screw mounting column structure 100 is made of plastic material, and the connecting plate 110 and the screw mounting column 120 are integrally injection molded.

[0040] Exemplarily, the cross section of the glue reduction groove 130 in the circumferential direction is square, and preferably, the side length of the square is greater than the diameter of the screw mounting column 120. In some other embodiments, the glue reduction groove 130 can also be set as a truncated cone, cylindrical or other shaped groove. Preferably, the depth of the glue reduction groove 130 is 1 / 2 of the thickness of the connecting plate 110.

[0041] The screw mounting column structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can avoid shrinkage on the surface of the screw mounting column structure 100 by respectively arranging the screw mounting column 120 and the glue reducing groove 130 on two opposite surfaces of the connecting plate 110. On the other hand, since the glue reducing groove 130 is provided on the second surface 112 instead of the first surface 111, after the plastic sticker is affixed to the first surface 111, no hollow feeling will appear on the first surface 111, thereby ensuring the appearance quality of the screw mounting column structure 100.

[0042] For further information, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the screw mounting column structure provided in an embodiment of the present application from another perspective. In order to improve the structural strength of the screw mounting column structure 100, a rib structure 140 may be provided in the glue reducing groove.

[0043] Exemplarily, the rib structure 140 includes a first rib 141 extending along a first direction H1 and a second rib 142 extending along a second direction H2. The first direction H1 and the second direction H2 are both parallel to the second surface 112. Preferably, the first direction H1 is perpendicular to the second direction H2, that is, the rib structure 140 includes cross-shaped ribs. The widths of the first rib 141 and the second rib 142 are selected by the designer according to actual needs. Exemplarily, the widths of the first rib 141 and the second rib 142 are 1 mm.

[0044] In order to improve the structural strength of the screw mounting column 120 connected to the connecting plate 110, a reinforcing rib 150 may be connected between the outer peripheral side wall of the screw mounting column 120 and the first surface 111. There may be multiple reinforcing ribs 150, which are evenly distributed on the outer peripheral side wall of the screw mounting column 120.

[0045] For example, see Figure 1 The number of reinforcing ribs 150 is two, and the two reinforcing ribs 150 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the screw mounting column 120 and are symmetrically arranged. Preferably, the reinforcing ribs 150 include a first reinforcing plate 151 and a second reinforcing plate 152 connected by bending, and along the extension direction of the first surface 111, the screw mounting column 120, the first reinforcing plate 151 and the second reinforcing plate 152 are connected in sequence; the angle between the first reinforcing plate 151 and the second reinforcing plate 152 is greater than 90°.

[0046] The screw mounting column structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can avoid shrinkage on the surface of the screw mounting column structure 100 by respectively arranging the screw mounting column 120 and the glue reducing groove 130 on two opposite surfaces of the connecting plate 110. On the other hand, since the glue reducing groove 130 is provided on the second surface 112 instead of the first surface 111, after the plastic sticker is affixed to the first surface 111, no hollow feeling will appear on the first surface 111, thereby ensuring the appearance quality of the screw mounting column structure 100.

[0047] The present application also provides a water inlet box, for example, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the water inlet box provided in the embodiment of the present application is as follows.

The water filling box 210 is provided with a through hole 211; the drawer box 220 is connected to the connecting plate 110, and the screw mounting column 120 is rotatably penetrated in the through hole 211, so that the drawer box 220 can be rotated to extend into or out of the water filling box 210.

[0049] Exemplarily, the drawer box 220 includes a first side wall 221 , and a first area on the first side wall 221 constitutes the connecting plate 110 .

[0050] The water inlet box 10 may further include a screw (not shown), which is assembled in the screw mounting column 120, and the screw head of the screw cooperates with the outer wall of the water filling box 210 to limit the relative movement of the screw mounting column 120 in the extension direction of the through hole 211.

[0051] The water inlet box 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a screw mounting column structure 100, which can avoid shrinkage on the surface, and when a plastic sticker is attached to the surface of the water inlet box 10, no hollow feeling will be generated on the surface of the screw mounting column structure 100, so that the water inlet box 10 has a higher appearance quality.
