[0027] Embodiment

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, an embodiment of the present utility model discloses a steam oven, which includes a steam oven main body and a water tank structure. The water tank structure is arranged on the steam oven main body. The water tank structure of this solution includes a water tank bracket 1, at least one limit bracket 2 and a water tank assembly 3. The water tank bracket 1 is provided with an installation cavity 11 with an opening. The water tank assembly 3 is detachably installed on the installation cavity 11 from the opening. The water tank assembly 3 is provided with at least one limiting member 31 that is detachably clamped with the limit bracket 2. The water tank bracket 1 is also provided with at least one notch 12 communicating with the installation cavity 11. One end of the limit bracket 2 is fixed outside the water tank bracket 1 and the other end at least partially extends into the installation cavity 11 from the notch 12. When the water tank assembly 3 is installed in place on the installation cavity 11, the limiting member 31 is clamped with the limit bracket 2, so that the water tank assembly 3 is positioned on the water tank bracket 1. By adopting such a design method, the water tank assembly 3 is positioned by setting the limit bracket 2 and the limiting member 31 on the water tank assembly 3, which is convenient for the installation of the water tank assembly 3 and can effectively fix the water tank assembly 3, ensuring that the water tank assembly 3 will not loosen during handling and operation, so as to ensure the stability of the water circuit, thereby effectively reducing the failure rate and improving the user experience of consumers.

[0029] Specifically, the opening is located on one side of the water tank bracket 1. The number of notches 12 is two. The two notches 12 are arranged on the side wall of the water tank bracket 1 and are respectively located on both sides of the opening. The number of limit brackets 2 is two. The two limit brackets 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the water tank bracket 1. The number of limiting members 31 is two. The two limiting members 31 are respectively arranged on both sides of the water tank assembly 3. By adopting such a design method, the two sides of the water tank assembly 3 can be positioned, thereby improving the installation and fixing effect of the water tank assembly 3 on the water tank bracket 1.

[0030] In some embodiments, the limit bracket 2 is a metal spring piece, and the limiting member 31 is a limiting rib provided on the water tank assembly 3. Specifically, when the water tank assembly 3 is installed in the installation cavity 11 of the water tank bracket 1, the limiting members 31 on both sides of the water tank assembly 3 will first contact the limit bracket 2 and push open the limit bracket 2. When continuing to install, the limit bracket 2 will reset under its own elastic force and clamp the limiting members 31 on both sides of the water tank assembly 3, which can effectively prevent the water tank assembly 3 from loosening; when the water tank assembly 3 is pulled out, under the action of external force, after the limiting member 31 on the water tank assembly 3 pushes open the limit bracket 2, the water tank assembly 3 can be taken out. By adopting such a design method, positioning is achieved by using the elastic deformation of the metal, and the installation is simple and the disassembly is convenient.

[0031] In some embodiments, in order to fix the limit bracket 2 on the water tank bracket 1 and for the limit bracket 2 to limit the limiting part, the notch 12 is located on the side wall of the water tank bracket 1. The limit bracket 2 includes a first flanging part 21 and a second flanging part 22. One end of the second flanging part 22 is vertically connected to the first flanging part 21. The first flanging part 21 is fixed to the top of the water tank bracket 1 to fix the limit bracket 2 on the water tank bracket 1. The second flanging part 22 is in a free state and is used to extend into the installation cavity 11 from the notch 12 to be clamped with the limiting part 31.

[0032] In order to fix the first flanging part 21 on the water tank bracket 1, an installation post 13 is provided on the water tank bracket 1, and a through hole 211 is provided on the first flanging part 21. The installation post 13 and the through hole 211 are connected by a screw 4. The method of connecting the through hole 211 and the installation post 13 with the screw 4 has a simple structure and is convenient for installation.

[0033] In some embodiments, the second flanging part 22 includes a vertical part 221 and a horizontal part 222. One end of the vertical part 221 is vertically connected to the first flanging part 21. The horizontal part 222 is connected to the other end of the vertical part 221. The vertical part 221 is located on one side of the notch 12. The horizontal part 222 extends into the installation cavity 11 from the notch 12 to be clamped with the limiting part 31.

[0034] Furthermore, the middle part of the horizontal part 222 is concave towards the notch 12 to form a V-shaped protrusion 2221. When the limit bracket 2 is in a natural state, both sides of the horizontal part 222 abut against the side wall of the water tank bracket 1, and the V-shaped protrusion 2221 extends into the installation cavity 11. With such a design, on the one hand, under the action of an external force, both sides of the V-shaped protrusion 2221 have a guiding effect, so that it is convenient for the limiting rib to be inserted and removed. On the other hand, when the external force is withdrawn, the V-shaped protrusion 2221 can better limit the limiting rib, making the positioning effect of the water tank assembly 3 better. In addition, both sides of the horizontal part 222 abut against the side wall of the water tank bracket 1, which can limit the horizontal part 222 to prevent the V-shaped protrusion 2221 from extending into the installation cavity 11 excessively and affecting its use.

[0035] Even further, the shape of the outer surface of the limiting rib along the installation direction of the water tank assembly 3 is arc-shaped, and the bending part of the V-shaped protrusion 2221 is arc-shaped transition. With such a design method, both the limiting rib and the bending part of the V-shaped protrusion 2221 are arc-shaped, which can better guide the limiting rib block, so that it is convenient for the limiting rib to be inserted and removed.

[0036] In some embodiments, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 14 arranged vertically and horizontally are provided on the outer surface of the water tank bracket 1 to enhance the structural strength of the water tank bracket 1. The notch 12 is located between the four reinforcing ribs 14 arranged in an enclosing manner, and the limiting bracket 2 is located in the space formed by the four reinforcing ribs 14 arranged in an enclosing manner. With such a design, the limiting bracket 2 is located in the space formed by the enclosing of the reinforcing ribs 14 without occupying extra space, making the entire water tank structure more compact.

[0037] A steam oven provided by the present utility model includes a water tank structure comprising a water tank bracket 1, at least one limiting bracket 2 and a water tank assembly 3. An installation cavity 11 with an opening is provided on the water tank bracket 1. The water tank assembly 3 is detachably installed on the installation cavity 11 from the opening. At least one limiting member 31 detachably engaged with the limiting bracket 2 is provided on the water tank assembly 3. At least one notch 12 communicating with the installation cavity 11 is further provided on the water tank bracket 1. One end of the limiting bracket 2 is fixed to the outside of the water tank bracket 1 and the other end at least partially extends into the installation cavity 11 from the notch 12. When the water tank assembly 3 is installed in place on the installation cavity 11, the limiting member 31 is engaged with the limiting bracket 2 to position the water tank assembly 3 on the water tank bracket 1. With such a design, by providing the limiting bracket 2 and the limiting member 31 on the water tank assembly 3 to position the water tank assembly 3, it is convenient to install the water tank assembly 3 and can effectively fix the water tank assembly 3, ensuring that the water tank assembly 3 will not loosen during handling and operation, so as to ensure the stability of the water circuit, thereby effectively reducing the failure rate and improving the user experience of consumers.

[0038] The above has introduced in detail a water tank structure and its steam oven disclosed in the embodiments of the present utility model. In this article, individual cases are used to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand a water tank structure and its steam oven of the present utility model and its core idea; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the present utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope.
