Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household equipment technology, specifically to a thrust tooling for water tank components. Background Technology
[0002] There are many types of household appliances, and devices such as steam microwave ovens and steam ovens are increasingly appearing in ordinary households. These appliances usually require a water tank for water supply. These water tanks are generally opened and closed from the appliance body using a drawer-style pull-out method, and there is often a push-out device in the appliance body to push the water tank out of the appliance body.
[0003] For example, publication number CN219422650U discloses a water tank ejection mechanism, including a housing. The housing contains a pushing device for horizontally moving the water tank. The pushing device includes a drive motor, a rotating wheel, and a push rod. The housing has a guide groove for placing the push rod, and the rotating wheel has a limiting protrusion for moving the push rod. When the rotating wheel rotates, the limiting protrusion pushes the push rod to move along the direction of the guide groove. The first position of the pushing device is when the end of the push rod is away from the water tank, and the second position is when the end of the push rod is close to the water tank. When the pushing device is in the first position, the push rod abuts against the side wall of the water tank. This invention uses a drive motor to drive the push rod to reciprocate. The push rod moves smoothly and with uniform force, resulting in low torque. During the reciprocating movement of the push rod, it pushes the water tank away from the housing, making the pushing process stable and reliable.
[0004] The aforementioned patent describes pushing the water tank out using a push rod. However, the water tank lacks a limit switch during the push, making it prone to slipping due to the inertia of the water tank. Therefore, a water tank assembly push tool is needed that can both push the water tank and prevent it from slipping after being pushed out. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address this issue, this utility model provides a water tank assembly thrust fixture. By using the thrust assembly, the problem of water tanks easily slipping due to the inertia of the water tanks during pushing is solved.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water tank assembly thrust fixture, including a water tank groove, a side groove fixedly provided on one side of the water tank groove, multiple built-in ball bearing rings fixedly provided inside the water tank groove, limiting strips fixedly provided on both sides of the side groove, a limiting post fixedly provided on the top of the side groove, an anti-detachment plate inserted into the top of the water tank groove, multiple anti-detachment posts fixedly provided at the bottom of the anti-detachment plate, a lifting plate fixedly provided on one side of the anti-detachment plate, a thrust assembly provided inside the side groove, the thrust assembly including a rotating shaft, a turntable fixedly provided on the top of the rotating shaft, a column fixedly provided on the top of the turntable, a connecting plate sleeved on the outside of the column, a through groove opened inside the connecting plate, limiting grooves opened at both ends of the connecting plate, a push rod fixedly provided on one side of the connecting plate, a second limiting groove opened inside the push rod, a push plate fixedly provided at one end of the push rod, a water tank body provided on one side of the push plate, and multiple anti-detachment grooves opened on the top of the water tank body.
[0007] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side groove, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft passes through the bottom of the side groove and is connected to the bottom of the side groove through a bearing.
[0008] Preferably, the column extends into the through groove and is slidably connected to the through groove.
[0009] Preferably, the connecting plate is sleeved outside the two limiting strips through the limiting groove and is slidably connected to the two limiting strips.
[0010] Preferably, the limiting post extends into the limiting groove two and is slidably connected to the limiting groove two.
[0011] Preferably, the water tank body is disposed inside multiple built-in ball rings and is rotatably connected to multiple limiting strips.
[0012] Preferably, the anti-detachment plate extends through the top of the water tank and is slidably connected to the top of the water tank.
[0013] Preferably, the anti-detachment column extends into the anti-detachment groove and is slidably connected to the anti-detachment groove.
[0014] The present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. When the turntable rotates, the column and the through groove cooperate to move the connecting plate to the right. When the connecting plate moves, the push rod pushes the push plate to move the water tank body to the right. When the water tank body moves to the right, the ball bearings inside the limit strip make the water tank body roll laterally, reducing the friction when the water tank body is pushed out, thus making it easier to push out the water tank body.
[0016] 2. The anti-detachment plate and the anti-detachment groove work together to limit the distance the water tank body is pushed out, preventing it from slipping due to inertia when it is pushed out. Lifting the lifting plate causes the anti-detachment plate to move upward, which in turn causes the anti-detachment plate to move the anti-detachment column out of the anti-detachment groove. This removes the limitation on the movement distance of the water tank body inside the water tank tank, making it easier to completely remove the water tank body from the water tank tank tank, thus facilitating subsequent additional processing of the water tank body.

[0026] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] Refer to the attached Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 The water tank assembly thrust fixture provided by this utility model includes a water tank tank 1, a side groove 2 fixedly provided on one side of the water tank tank 1, multiple built-in ball bearing rings 3 fixedly provided inside the water tank tank 1, limit strips 4 fixedly provided on both sides of the side groove 2, limit posts 5 fixedly provided on the top of the side groove 2, an anti-detachment plate 6 inserted into the top of the water tank tank 1, multiple anti-detachment posts 7 fixedly provided at the bottom of the anti-detachment plate 6, a lifting plate 8 fixedly provided on one side of the anti-detachment plate 6, and a thrust assembly provided inside the side groove 2. The thrust assembly includes a rotating shaft 10. A turntable 11 is fixedly mounted on the top of the shaft 10, and a column 12 is fixedly mounted on the top of the turntable 11. A connecting plate 13 is sleeved on the outside of the column 12. A through groove 14 is opened inside the connecting plate 13. Limit grooves 15 are opened at both ends of the connecting plate 13. A push rod 16 is fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting plate 13. A second limit groove 17 is opened inside the push rod 16. A push plate 18 is fixedly mounted on one end of the push rod 16. A water tank body 19 is provided on one side of the push plate 18. Multiple anti-detachment grooves 20 are opened on the top of the water tank body 19.
[0028] In this implementation scheme, in order to both push the water tank and prevent it from slipping after being pushed out, the connecting plate 13 moves to the right by the cooperation of the column 12 and the through groove 14 when the turntable 11 rotates. When the connecting plate 13 moves, the push plate 18 pushes the water tank body 19 to the right by the push rod 16. When the water tank body 19 moves to the right, the ball bearings inside the limiting strip 4 cause the water tank body 19 to roll laterally, reducing the friction when the water tank body 19 is pushed out, so as to facilitate the push-out of the water tank body 19. The push-out distance of the water tank body 19 is limited by the cooperation of the anti-detachment plate 6 and the anti-detachment groove 20 to prevent slipping due to the inertia of the water tank body 19 when it is pushed out.
[0029] In order to achieve the purpose of rotating the turntable 11, the device adopts the following technical solution: a motor 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side groove 2, the output end of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 10, the rotating shaft 10 passes through the bottom of the side groove 2 and is connected to the bottom of the side groove 2 through a bearing. When the motor 9 is started, the rotation of the motor 9 causes the turntable 11 to rotate through the rotating shaft 10, thereby providing power to push the water tank body 19.
[0030] To prevent the connecting plate 13 and push rod 16 from tilting during movement, the device employs the following technical solution: the column 12 extends into the through groove 14 and is slidably connected to the through groove 14; the connecting plate 13 is sleeved on the outside of the two limiting strips 4 through the limiting groove 15 and is slidably connected to the two limiting strips 4; the limiting post 5 extends into the second limiting groove 17 and is slidably connected to the second limiting groove 17; when the connecting plate 13 moves, the cooperation between the limiting strips 4 and the limiting groove 15 prevents the connecting plate 13 from tilting during movement; when the push rod 16 moves, the cooperation between the limiting post 5 and the second limiting groove 17 prevents the push rod 16 from tilting during movement.
[0031] To facilitate the complete removal of the water tank body 19 from the water tank tank 1, the device employs the following technical solution: the water tank body 19 is housed within multiple built-in ball bearing rings 3 and is slidably connected to multiple limiting strips 4; the anti-detachment plate 6 penetrates the top of the water tank tank 1 and is slidably connected to the top of the water tank tank 1; the anti-detachment column 7 extends into the anti-detachment groove 20 and is slidably connected to the anti-detachment groove 20. When it is necessary to remove the water tank body 19, the lifting plate 8 is lifted, and the movement of the lifting plate 8 causes the anti-detachment plate 6 to move upward, thereby causing the anti-detachment plate 6 to move the anti-detachment column 7 out of the anti-detachment groove 20, thus removing the movement distance restriction of the water tank body 19 within the water tank tank 1, thereby facilitating the complete removal of the water tank body 19 from the water tank tank 1 and enabling subsequent additional processing of the water tank body 19.
[0032] The usage process of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, connect an external power source. When it is necessary to push out the water tank body 19, start the motor 9. The rotation of the motor 9 causes the turntable 11 to rotate through the rotating shaft 10. The rotation of the turntable 11 causes the connecting plate 13 to move to the right through the cooperation of the column 12 and the through groove 14. When the connecting plate 13 moves, the cooperation of the limiting strip 4 and the limiting groove 15 prevents the connecting plate 13 from tilting during movement. When the connecting plate 13 moves, the push rod 16 causes the push plate 18 to push the water tank body 19 to the right. When the push rod 16 moves, the cooperation of the limiting post 5 and the limiting groove 17 prevents the push rod 16 from tilting during movement. When the water tank body 19 moves to the right, the ball bearings inside the limiting strip 4 cause the water tank to move to the right. The tank body 19 rolls laterally, reducing friction when it is pushed out. Simultaneously, the anti-detachment plate 6 and anti-detachment groove 20 restrict the distance the tank body 19 is pushed out, preventing slippage due to inertia. The tank lid can be opened to add water in this state. When the tank body 19 needs to be removed, the lifting plate 8 is lifted. The lifting plate 8 moves, causing the anti-detachment plate 6 to move upwards, which in turn causes the anti-detachment column 7 to move out of the anti-detachment groove 20. This removes the distance restriction on the movement of the tank body 19 within the tank trough 1, facilitating the complete removal of the tank body 19 from the tank trough 1 and enabling subsequent processing of the tank body 19.
[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art may modify this utility model or modify it into an equivalent technical solution using the technical solutions described above. Therefore, any simple modifications or equivalent substitutions made based on the technical solutions of this utility model are within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
