[0037] Referring to Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the diameter of the clamping hole 6 gradually decreases along the direction from the opening of the clamping hole 6 to the direction away from the opening. This can limit the insertion position of the clamping member 7, and at the same time, an interference fit can be formed between the gradually decreasing position of the clamping hole 6 and the clamping member 7, so that the button 3 can be fixed more stably.

[0038] In some embodiments, the water tank panel further includes a pressing ring 8 for pressing the air pump 2. When the water tank panel is installed, the pressing ring 8 is sleeved on the pushing member 5. When pressing, the pressing ring 8 abuts against the upper end face of the pushing member 5 to press the pushing member 5, so that the air pump 2 operates. A plugging groove 9 is formed on the circumferential side of the pressing ring 8. In this embodiment, three plugging grooves 9 are evenly spaced along the circumferential side of the pressing ring 8. A plugging member 10 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the button 3. In this embodiment, the plugging member 10 is integrally formed with the button 3 and is evenly spaced along the inner wall surface of the button 3, corresponding to the plugging grooves 9 one by one. During installation, the pressing ring 8 is inserted into the button 3, and the plugging member 10 is clamped in the plugging groove 9, so that the pressing ring 8 can be easily fixed to the button 3.

[0039] Referring to Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the engaging member 7 is integrally provided with auxiliary members 11 at intervals along the circumferential side. In this embodiment, three auxiliary members 11 are evenly spaced along the circumferential side of the engaging member 7. The auxiliary members 11 are in interference fit with the pushing member 5 through the engaging holes 6, so that the engaging member 7 and the pushing member 5 can be more stably engaged.

[0040] In some embodiments, the engaging member 7 is integrally provided with reinforcing ribs 12 at intervals along the circumferential side. In this embodiment, three reinforcing ribs 12 are evenly spaced along the circumferential side of the engaging member 7. The reinforcing ribs 12 and the auxiliary members 11 are arranged alternately, that is, they are arranged as auxiliary members 11, reinforcing ribs 12, auxiliary members 11 and so on along the circumferential side of the engaging member 7. In addition to the engaging depth between the engaging member 7 and the pushing member 5, the connection between the engaging member 7 and the button 3 can also be strengthened.

[0041] In some embodiments, the water tank panel further includes a connecting member 13. The panel assembly 1 includes a panel body 101 and a mounting seat 102. The panel body 101 is detachably connected to the mounting seat 102 through the connecting member 13, and the air pump 2 is detachably installed on the connecting member 13.

[0042] In some embodiments, the connector 13 includes a first connector 131 and a second connector 132. The outer peripheral side of the first connector 131 is provided with an external thread, and the inner peripheral side of the second connector 132 is provided with an internal thread. In this embodiment, the first connector 131 and the second connector 13 are both in a "T"-shaped structure. The first connector 131 is inserted along the direction of the panel body 101, and one side abuts against the end surface of the panel body 101 away from the mounting seat 102. The second connector 132 is screwed with the first connector 131 along the direction of the mounting seat 102, and abuts against the end surface of the mounting seat 102 away from the panel body 101. The panel body 101 and the mounting seat 102 can be fixed by screwing the second connector 132 into the first connector 131. When the panel body 101 needs to be replaced, the second connector 132 can be replaced by screwing it out of the first connector 131. This can facilitate the replacement of the panel body 101 and better meet the personalized needs of users for appearance.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, a fixing platform 14 is integrally provided in the first connection portion 131, and a clearance groove 15 is provided in the fixing platform 14. In this embodiment, the clearance grooves 15 are provided on both sides of the fixing platform 14. A fixing member 16 is integrally provided along the circumference of the push rod of the air pump 2. One fixing member 16 is provided along both sides of the circumference of the air pump 2. The fixing members 16 and the clearance grooves 15 are provided one by one. The push rod extends into the first connection portion 131, and the two fixing members 16 extend along the two clearance grooves 15 respectively, and the air pump 2 is rotated. The fixing member 16 is clamped on the fixing platform 14, and the air pump 2 is connected to the first connection portion 131 by rotating and clamping. When disassembly is required, it is only necessary to unscrew the air pump 2 from the first connection portion 131, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0044] In some embodiments, the fixing table 14 is provided with a limiting groove 17. In this embodiment, two limiting grooves 17 are provided in opposite directions and correspond one to one with the fixing piece 16. The air pump 2 is rotated and the fixing piece 16 enters into the limiting groove 17 and is engaged with the fixing table 14, so that when the fixing piece 16 is engaged in place through the limiting groove 17, the connection between the air pump 2 and the first connecting portion 131 is more stable. The fixing piece 16 is a plastic piece and has the ability of elastic deformation. Therefore, when disassembly is required, the fixing piece 16 can be separated from the limiting groove 17 by simply rotating the air pump 2 with force.

[0045] In this embodiment, a limiting member 18 in a shape similar to a "U" shape is integrally connected to the fixing member 16. The limiting member 18 is located between the adjacent relief grooves 15 and the limiting grooves 17. One set means that one relief groove 15 and one limiting groove 17 in the clockwise order are in the same set. One side of the limiting member 18 is located beside the relief groove 15, so as to limit the rotation direction of the fixing member 16, that is, the fixing member 16 needs to be screwed into the limiting groove 17 in the clockwise direction; the other side of the limiting member 18 is located beside the limiting groove 17. When the fixing member 16 is screwed into the limiting groove 17 in the clockwise direction, the side surface of the fixing member 16 abuts against the limiting member 18, so as to better limit the rotation of the fixing member 16.
