During installation, first place the installation frame 160, then tighten the fastening hook 300 to fix the installation frame 160, and then install the tank liner 170. The split structure has two advantages: (1) Without the obstruction of the tank liner 170, the operating space is larger and the fastening of the installation frame 160 is more convenient; (2) The installation frame 160 remains unchanged, and different specifications and shapes of tank liners 170, such as single-slot or double-slot, can be selected to meet the needs of different users, and it is convenient for later replacement and expansion.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the top edge 130 is a flanging structure. Sinking steps are processed on the left and right sides or either the left or right side of the opening 210 to form an installation edge groove 220, and the top edge 130 can be abutted against the installation edge groove 220. The left and right sides of the water tank are made into a countertop installation method, and the top edge 130 is abutted against the installation edge groove 220, further improving the load-bearing firmness of the water tank. Compared with the traditional countertop installation, the present utility model only needs to process sinking steps on both sides, has low construction requirements, and the sinking steps only need to be lower than the thickness of the installation frame 160, and there are no special requirements for the flatness of the steps.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the front flanging 110 and the rear flanging 120 can respectively block the front end and the rear end of the installation edge groove 220. As Figure 6 shown, the sinking steps can be cut to both front and rear ends, without worrying about the aesthetic appearance of the interfaces at both ends, because the front flanging 110 and the rear flanging 120 of the installation frame 160 can block both ends of the sinking steps, greatly reducing the construction requirements for the steps and improving the aesthetic appearance after the water tank is installed.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the left and right sides of the front flanging 110 and the rear flanging 120 extend outward in the left-right direction to form protruding portions 150 protruding from the left and right sides of the rectangular frame body, and the protruding portions 150 can be abutted against the upper surface of the tabletop 200.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present utility model, a sealant is applied or a second gasket 500 is sandwiched between the first convex edge 161 and the second convex edge 171. The sealant or the second gasket 500 is used for the sealed connection between the tank liner 170 and the installation frame 160.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 7-8, further including a first clamping plate 600. A second clamping plate 700 is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the tank liner 170. Vertical sliding grooves 710 are arranged on both sides of the first clamping plate 600 or the second clamping plate 700. The first clamping plate 600 and the second clamping plate 700 slide relative to each other through the sliding grooves 710. A plurality of longitudinally arranged clamping grooves 720 are arranged in the middle of the second clamping plate 700. A snap button 610 is arranged on the first clamping plate 600. One end of the snap button 610 is a clamping part 611, and the other end is a pressing part 612. The top of the first clamping plate 600 has a top plate 620. The first clamping plate 600 can be pushed into the second clamping plate 700 from bottom to top through the sliding grooves 710, so that the clamping part 611 is buckled into the clamping grooves 720, and the top plate 620 can be abutted against the lower end surface of the first convex edge 161. After the tank liner 170 is installed, the first clamping plate 600 is aligned with the sliding grooves 710 of the second clamping plate 700 and pushed upward until the top plate 620 of the first clamping plate 600 abuts against the tabletop 200, and at the same time, the clamping part 611 is deformed and buckled into the clamping grooves 720 to complete the fixation of the tank liner 170. The first clamping plate 600 can prevent the tank liner 170 from shifting upward. At the same time, relying on the weight of the tank liner 170 and the clamping effect of the first clamping plate 600, the second sealing gasket 500 is pressed tightly to prevent leakage. The sliding grooves 710 limit the first clamping plate 600 in the front, rear, left and right directions, and the cooperation between the clamping part 611 and the clamping grooves 720 limits the up and down directions. Dismantling method for removing and replacing the tank liner 170: Press the pressing part 612 downward to make the clamping part disengage from the clamping grooves 720, and then the first clamping plate 600 can be taken out, and the tank liner 170 is not fastened and thus can be taken out and replaced.
