Detailed implementation mode

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0041] The following combines Figures 1 - 4 to describe the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0042] First of all, it should be noted that the air conditioner water tank includes a water tank body 100 and a water tank frame 200 connected to the water tank body 100. A plurality of card slots 101 are provided on the water tank body 100, and the card slots 101 are used to match with the anti-disengagement device of the air conditioner water tank.

[0043] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model provides an anti-disengagement device for an air conditioner water tank. The anti-disengagement device includes a base 1, a limiting mechanism 3 and an elastic part 5. The base 1 is arranged on the water tank frame 200, and the base 1 is firmly arranged on the water tank frame 200 as the basic support structure of the whole anti-disengagement device. And a protruding part 2 is arranged on the side surface of the base 1.

[0044] The limiting mechanism 3 is movably connected to the base 1, and this movement allows the limiting mechanism 3 to move freely within a certain range. The side surface of the limiting mechanism 3 has a guiding groove 33 slidably connected to the protruding part 2. The guiding groove 33 matches the protruding part 2 on the base 1 to ensure the precise guiding of the limiting mechanism 3 during the movement.

[0045] The elastic part 5 is arranged on the base 1. The elastic part 5 mainly plays two roles: one is to provide the necessary pre-tightening force to ensure the tight connection between the limiting mechanism 3 and the card slot 101; the other is to play a buffering role when the limiting mechanism 3 is impacted by an external force, reducing the impact on the water tank frame 200 and the overall structure.

[0046] The limiting mechanism 3 has a locking position and an unlocking device. In the locking position, the limiting mechanism 3 selectively clamps with one of the clamping grooves 101, and the elastic member 5 contacts the limiting mechanism 3 to provide a stable pre-tightening force. In the unlocking position, the limiting mechanism 3 is separated from both the clamping groove 101 and the elastic member 5, facilitating operation.

[0047] In the anti-detachment device of the air-conditioning water tank provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, in the normal use state, the limiting mechanism 3 is in the locking position, clamping with the clamping groove 101, and at the same time the elastic member 5 remains in contact with the limiting mechanism 3 to provide a stable pre-tightening force. When it is necessary to adjust or disassemble the water tank, by operating the limiting mechanism 3 (which may be manual, mechanical or electric), it is moved from the locking position to the unlocking position, separated from the clamping groove 101 and the elastic member 5, so as to easily realize the disassembly or adjustment of the water tank body 100. Therefore, through the clamping connection between the limiting mechanism 3 and the clamping groove 101, and the pre-tightening effect of the elastic member 5, the water tank body 100 is effectively prevented from falling off, improving the use safety. The setting of the limiting mechanism 3 makes the disassembly, installation and assembly of the water tank body 100 simple and fast, improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0048] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, in a feasible embodiment of the present utility model, the limiting mechanism 3 includes a claw 31 and a handle 32. Both the claw 31 and the handle 32 are movably connected to the side surface of the base 1, which means that the claw 31 can move along a certain track or direction on the base 1.

[0049] The side surface of the claw 31 has a guiding groove 33, and the guiding groove 33 cooperates with the convex portion 2 to ensure the stable movement of the claw 31 along the specified direction and prevent deviation or shaking. The side of the claw 31 facing the water tank body 100 has a clamping portion 34, which is the key part for the claw 31 to clamp with the clamping groove 101. The shape and size of the clamping portion 34 need to match the clamping groove 101 to ensure a firm connection. A guiding portion 35 is also provided on the side surface of the claw 31, and the handle 32 is in sliding contact with the guiding portion 35. The guiding portion 35 provides guiding and support for the movement of the handle 32. The handle 32 is also movably connected to the side surface of the base 1, and the user determines the movement of the claw 31 by operating the handle 32.

[0050] In the locking position, the clamping portion 34 selectively clamps with one of the clamping grooves 101, the handle 32 contacts the elastic member 5, and the water tank body 100 and the water tank frame 200 are locked tightly to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire connection system. In the unlocking position, the user operates the handle 32 to move the claw 31 to the unlocking position in the opposite direction. In this process, the clamping portion 34 is separated from the clamping groove 101, and at the same time the handle 32 is also separated from the elastic member 5, so as to realize the easy disassembly or adjustment of the water tank body 100.

[0051] The anti - detachment device of the air - conditioner water tank provided by the embodiment of the present utility model not only improves the convenience of operation, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the entire anti - detachment device of the air - conditioner water tank. Users can lock and unlock the claw through simple operations without complex tools or skills.

[0052] Refer to again Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible embodiment of the present utility model, the claw 31 includes a bending plate 311 and a mounting plate 312. The bending plate 311 is located on one side of the base 1, and a clamping portion 34 is provided on the bending plate 311. The shape and size of the clamping portion 34 need to match the card slot 101 to ensure that the two can be closely combined together to prevent the water tank from accidentally falling off.

[0053] The mounting plate 312 is located on the other side of the base 1, and a guiding groove 33 and a guiding portion 35 are provided on the mounting plate 312. The guiding groove 33 cooperates with the protruding portion 2 to guide the claw 31 to move stably along the specified direction during the movement process. The setting of the guiding groove 33 helps to reduce the friction and resistance during the movement of the claw 31 and improve the smoothness of the operation. The guiding portion 35 is in sliding contact with the handle 32, and the guiding portion 35 provides guiding and support for the handle 32 during movement, ensuring that users can easily operate the handle 32 to control the movement direction and position of the claw 31.

[0054] In a feasible embodiment of the present utility model, a supporting plate 313 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 312, and the supporting plate 313 contacts the handle 32. The contact between the supporting plate 313 and the handle 32 plays a role in supporting and stabilizing the handle. When the handle 32 is subjected to an external force during the operation process, the supporting plate 313 can disperse and bear part of the force to prevent the handle 32 from deforming or being damaged. At the same time, the supporting plate 313 can also enhance the connection stability between the handle 32 and the claw 31 to ensure the reliability and durability of the entire limiting mechanism 3 during the working process.

[0055] Refer to again Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a feasible embodiment of the present utility model, it further includes a connecting piece 6. A long - strip hole 7 is opened on the mounting plate 312, a first through - hole 8 is provided on the handle 32, and a second through - hole 4 is opened on the base 1. The connecting piece 6 passes through the first through - hole 8, the long - strip hole 7 and the second through - hole 4. The connecting piece 6 is a fixing or connecting element used to firmly connect the handle 32, the mounting plate 312 and the base 1 together. This connection not only ensures the stability of the limiting mechanism 3 on the base 1, but also allows the handle 32 to slide within a certain range on the mounting plate 312 to adapt to the locking and unlocking operations of the claw 31.

[0056] In a feasible embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member 6 includes a bolt and a nut, one end of the bolt is located on the side of the base 1 facing the water tank frame 200, and the other end of the bolt passes through the second through hole 4, the long hole 7 and the first through hole 8, and is locked and fixed with the nut so that the mounting plate 312 and the handle 32 can move in conjunction.

[0057] See again Figure 3 As shown, in a feasible embodiment of the present invention, the base 1 includes a horizontal portion 11, a vertical portion 12 and an outer edge portion 13. The horizontal portion 11 is arranged on the water tank frame 200, and the function of the horizontal portion 11 is to provide a stable support surface to ensure the stability of the entire base 1 structure.

[0058] The vertical portion 12 is vertically connected to the horizontal portion 11 to form the main support structure of the base 1. A protrusion 2 is provided on the side of the vertical portion 12 facing away from the water tank body 100, and the protrusion 2 is used to cooperate with the guide groove 33 to enable the claw 31 to move in a predetermined direction during the movement process.

[0059] The outer edge portion 13 is connected to the vertical portion 12 , and an elastic member 5 is disposed on the outer edge portion 13 . When the handle 32 moves to the locking position, the elastic member 5 is fixed in cooperation with the handle 32 .

[0060] See again Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in a feasible embodiment of the utility model, the contact surface between the guide portion 35 and the handle 32 is an arc surface, and the arc surface contact can provide a smoother sliding trajectory. Compared with the plane contact, the arc surface can better adapt to the slight deflection or tilt of the handle 32 during the movement, and reduce the resistance caused by the mismatch of direction. This design allows the user to experience a smoother and more natural sliding experience when operating the handle. And in some cases, the arc surface contact can also enhance the stability of the structure. When the handle 32 slides on the guide portion 35, the arc surface design can guide the handle 32 to move along a predetermined trajectory, preventing it from deviating from the track or producing unnecessary shaking. This is of great significance for maintaining the stability and reliability of the entire limiting mechanism 3.

[0061] In a feasible embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member 5 comprises a rubber column or a silicone column. Both rubber and silicone have good elasticity, can deform when subjected to pressure, and quickly return to their original shape after the pressure disappears. This excellent elasticity makes them very suitable for use as elastic members, which can absorb and buffer external impacts and protect the components connected thereto from damage.

[0062] A second aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising an anti-detachment device for an air conditioner water tank as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0063] The air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present utility model includes the anti - detachment device of the air conditioner water tank as described above, and thus has various advantages as described above.
