[0009] Preferably, a slider is provided on the outside of the lead screw, and a transverse T-shaped slide rail is provided on the water tank body corresponding to the slider, with the slider movably mounted on the transverse T-shaped slide rail.

[0010] Preferably, a crank is provided at the top of the slider, and a connecting plate is rotatably provided at one end of the crank. A vertical T-shaped slide rail is provided on the water tank body corresponding to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate is movably mounted on the vertical T-shaped slide rail.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting plate is located at the bottom of the connecting plate, and the placement box is provided with a first limiting groove corresponding to the connecting plate, and the limiting plate is movably located in the first limiting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing plate is movably disposed in the fixing groove, and the fixing plate is provided with a second limiting groove corresponding to the limiting plate, and the limiting plate is movably disposed in the second limiting groove.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing block is movably disposed in the connecting groove, the fixing block has a storage groove inside, the elastic element is disposed inside the storage groove, one end of the elastic element is provided with a buffer plate, and the inner side of the elastic element is provided with a telescopic rod to prevent the elastic element from deviating in the direction of movement.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, this application provides a connection mechanism for a water tank, including: a water tank body 1, a connection component provided on the water tank body 1, the connection component including a placement box 7 provided on one side of the water tank body 1, a fixing groove 11 provided on the placement box 7, a fixing plate 8 provided on one side of the water tank body 1, and a limit plate 9 provided on the water tank body 1, the connection component being used for connecting the water tank.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the connecting assembly also includes a square plate 4 disposed on one side of the water tank body 1. A lead screw 12 is disposed in the middle of the square plate 4 and passes through the square plate 4. A rotating part 16 is disposed at one end of the lead screw 12. By rotating the rotating part 16, the rotation of the lead screw 12 can be stably controlled.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, a slider 14 is provided on the outside of the lead screw 12, and a transverse T-shaped slide rail 13 is provided on the water tank body 1 corresponding to the slider 14. The slider 14 is movably mounted on the transverse T-shaped slide rail 13. The transverse T-shaped slide rail 13 can achieve the effect of limiting the movement direction of the slider 14.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, a crank 15 is provided on the top of the slider 14, and a connecting plate 5 is rotatably provided on one end of the crank 15. A vertical T-shaped slide rail 6 is provided on the water tank body 1 corresponding to the connecting plate 5. The connecting plate 5 is movably mounted on the vertical T-shaped slide rail 6. Through the two sets of cranks 15, the two sets of connecting plates 5 can be driven to move up and down at the same time.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the limiting plate 9 is set at the bottom of the connecting plate 5, and the placement box 7 is provided with a first limiting groove 10 corresponding to the connecting plate 5. The limiting plate 9 is movably set in the first limiting groove 10. The setting of the first limiting groove 10 makes it easy for the limiting plate 9 to slide into the second limiting groove 17.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fixing plate 8 is movably disposed in the fixing groove 11, and the fixing plate 8 is provided with a second limiting groove 17 corresponding to the limiting plate 9. The limiting plate 9 is movably disposed in the second limiting groove 17. The setting of the second limiting groove 17 can make the connection between the two sets of water tank bodies 1 more stable.

[0033] A buffer assembly is provided on the main body 1 of the water tank. The buffer assembly includes a connecting groove 2 at the top of the main body 1 of the water tank and a fixing block 3 at the bottom of the main body 1 of the water tank. An elastic element 19 is provided on the fixing block 3. The buffer assembly is used for buffering the connection of the water tank.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the fixing block 3 is movably disposed in the connecting groove 2. The fixing block 3 has a storage groove 18 inside, and the elastic element 19 is disposed inside the storage groove 18. One end of the elastic element 19 is provided with a buffer plate 20, and the inner side of the elastic element 19 is provided with a telescopic rod to prevent the elastic element 19 from deviating in the direction of movement. The elastic element 19 can be stored in the storage groove 18, which can prevent the elastic element 19 from protruding and affecting the fixing block 3 from sliding into the connecting groove 2.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, guide grooves 22 are provided on both sides of the buffer plate 20, and protrusions 21 are provided on the inner side of the storage groove 18 corresponding to the guide grooves 22. The protrusions 21 are movably disposed in the guide grooves 22. The cooperation between the guide grooves 22 and the protrusions 21 allows the buffer plate 20 to slide stably into the storage groove 18.

[0036] In this embodiment: by controlling the fixing plate 8 to slide into the fixing groove 11, the two sets of water tank bodies 1 can be pre-positioned, so that the first limiting groove 10 and the second limiting groove 17 form a through groove. By controlling the rotation of the lead screw 12, the slider 14 can be driven to slide on the transverse T-shaped slide rail 13, thereby driving the limiting plate 9 to slide into the first limiting groove 10 and the second limiting groove 17, thereby fixing the two sets of water tank bodies 1 and facilitating the disassembly of the water tanks by the staff. The cooperation between the fixing block 3 and the connecting groove 2 makes it easy for the staff to connect the two sets of water tanks vertically. The elasticity of the elastic element 19 can achieve a buffering effect when placing the water tank, thereby effectively preventing the liquid inside the water tank from shaking.

[0037] The specific solution is as follows: When it is necessary to connect the water tanks horizontally, the operator slides the fixing plate 8 on one set of water tank bodies 1 into the fixing groove 11 to pre-position the two sets of water tank bodies 1. Then, the operator rotates the rotating part 16 to control the screw 12 to rotate, which drives the slider 14 to slide on the horizontal T-shaped slide rail 13. When the crank 15 drives the connecting plate 5 to slide on the vertical T-shaped slide rail 6, the limiting plate 9 can slide into the through groove formed by the first limiting groove 10 and the second limiting groove 17 to fix the two sets of water tank bodies 1. When the fixing block 3 is placed in the connecting groove 2 or on the ground, the elastic force of the elastic part 19 can make the buffer plate 20 play a buffering role, so that the liquid inside the water tank body 1 will not shake, and at the same time, it will reduce the impact force generated by the descent of the water tank body 1, thus protecting the water tank.

[0038] Those skilled in the art should understand that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely exemplary; within the framework of this invention, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of this invention as described above, which are not provided in the details for the sake of brevity.

[0039] This utility model is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications, and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
