[0036] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] The water tank assembly provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a tank cover 100, a tank body 200, and a water pipe; the tank cover 100 is placed over the open end of the tank body 200 to form a receiving cavity; one end of the water pipe is located outside the receiving cavity, and the other end passes through the tank cover 100 and extends into the receiving cavity. The water pipe extends through the cover 100 into the receiving cavity, facilitating its installation. Furthermore, when cleaning the cabinet 200, the cover 100 is detached from it, and since the water pipe is installed on the cover 100, it is also removed from the cabinet 200, preventing a narrow space from forming between the water pipe and the inner wall of the cabinet 200, thus avoiding the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the inner wall of the cabinet 200. Additionally, since the cover 100 is typically designed as a flat structure or a cavity structure; when the cover 100 is a flat structure, it has no side walls, so there is no narrow space between the water pipe and the cover 100, avoiding the problem of inconvenient cleaning; when the cover 100 has a cavity structure, because the side walls of the cover 100 are low, there is no narrow space between the water pipe and the side walls of the cover 100, avoiding the problem of inconvenient cleaning.

[0039] The structure and shape of the water tank assembly are described in detail below:

[0040] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the cross-section of the water pipe is set to be circular to facilitate the connection of the end of the water pipe extending out of the tank cover 100 with the water supply equipment or pumping equipment.

[0041] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water pipe includes an inlet pipe 150 and an outlet pipe 160.

[0042] Specifically, the inlet pipe 150 and the outlet pipe 160 are located on the same side of the tank cover 100, which facilitates the processing of the tank cover 100; and the tank cover 100 is equipped with both the inlet pipe 150 and the outlet pipe 160, so that the water tank assembly is compatible with both water supply and drainage functions, thus expanding the structure and function of the water tank assembly.

[0043] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water outlet pipe 160 includes a first main pipe 161 and an extension pipe 162. One end of the first main pipe 161 extends into the receiving cavity and is connected to the extension pipe 162, while the other end is located outside the tank cover 100. The axis of the first main pipe 161 is set at an angle to the axis of the extension pipe 162.

[0044] Specifically, please see Figure 1 The outlet pipe 160 is L-shaped, and the axis of the first main pipe 161 is perpendicular to the axis of the extension pipe 162. More preferably, the cross-sections of the first main pipe 161 and the extension pipe 162 are both circular, and their diameters are equal.

[0045] The extension tube 162 is connected to one end of the first main tube 161 that passes through the cover 100, so that when the cover 100 is placed on the open end of the box body 200, the extension tube 162 can extend into the inside of the box body 200 to discharge the liquid inside the box body 200. When the liquid level inside the box body 200 is low, the end of the extension tube 162 away from the first main tube 161 can also contact the liquid to discharge the liquid.

[0046] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water inlet pipe 150 includes a second main pipe 151 and a buffer pipe 152. One end of the second main pipe 151 extends into the receiving cavity and is connected to the buffer pipe 152, while the other end is located outside the cover 100. The axis of the second main pipe 151 is set at an angle to the axis of the buffer pipe 152, and the length of the buffer pipe 152 is less than the length of the extension pipe 162.

[0047] Specifically, please see Figure 1 The inlet pipe 150 is L-shaped, and the axis of the second main pipe 151 is perpendicular to the axis of the buffer pipe 152. More preferably, the cross-section of the second main pipe 151 and the cross-section of the buffer pipe 152 are both circular, and the diameters are equal.

[0048] When the lid 100 is placed over the open end of the box 200, the buffer tube 152 extends into the box 200, and the liquid flows to the bottom wall of the box 200 to prevent the liquid from flowing back to the box 200 and impacting the side wall of the box 200, causing water splashing and abnormal noise.

[0049] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the box cover 100 includes a top 110 and a enclosure 120 connected to the top 110. The top 110 is used to cover the opening end of the box body 200, and the enclosure 120 extends circumferentially along the top 110 and abuts against the side wall of the box body 200; the water pipe passes through the enclosure 120.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The water pipes include an inlet pipe 150 and an outlet pipe 160, both of which pass through the enclosure 120. This allows both the inlet and outlet pipes to be installed within the enclosure 120. Consequently, when the cover 100 is placed over the housing 200, the first main pipe 161 of the outlet pipe 160 and the second main pipe 151 of the inlet pipe 150 are horizontal, reducing the power consumption of the pump connected to the inlet or outlet pipe 160 for liquid transport compared to when either pipe is vertical. Furthermore, when the cover 100 is placed over the housing 200, the enclosure 120 extends into the opening of the housing 200, meaning the outer wall of the enclosure 120 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 200. Of course, when the lid 100 covers the box body 200, the enclosure 120 covers the box body 200, that is, the inner wall of the enclosure 120 abuts against the outer wall of the box body 200, which should also be within the protection scope of this utility model embodiment.

[0051] When the lid 100 is placed over the open end of the box body 200, the enclosure part 120 extends into the box body 200, which improves the positioning accuracy of the lid 100 and the box body 200 and prevents the lid 100 from shifting in the horizontal direction.

[0052] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the box 200 is provided with a clearance groove; the water pipe is clamped in the clearance groove.

[0053] Specifically, the clearance groove includes a first clearance groove 210 and a second clearance groove 220; the inlet pipe 150 is fitted into the first clearance groove 210, and the outlet pipe 160 is fitted into the second clearance groove 220. Furthermore, the top of the side wall of the housing 200 is recessed downwards to form the first clearance groove 210 and the second clearance groove 220. More preferably, the cross-sections of both the first clearance groove 210 and the second clearance groove 220 are semi-circular to match the shapes of the inlet pipe 150 and the outlet pipe 160.

[0054] The first clearance groove 210 and the second clearance groove 220 are designed to allow the inlet pipe 150 and the outlet pipe 160 to pass through, thereby allowing the inlet pipe 150 and the outlet pipe 160 to extend into the housing 200.

[0055] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the box cover 100 includes a stiffening plate 130, which is connected to the top 110. The stiffening plate 130 facilitates the disassembly of the box cover 100.

[0056] Specifically, please see Figure 1 and Figure 3The two sides of the stiffening rib 130 contact the inlet pipe 150 and the outlet pipe 160 respectively; the stiffening rib 130 contacts the inlet pipe 150 and the outlet pipe 160 respectively, which improves the strength of the inlet pipe 150 and the outlet pipe 160 and extends the service life of the cover 100. When the cover 100 is placed on the box body 200, the stiffening rib 130 protrudes from the outer wall of the box body 200, and the operator can open the cover 100 through the stiffening rib 130.

[0057] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the box 200 is provided with at least two ribs 230, and the multiple ribs 230 are spaced apart.

[0058] Specifically, please see Figure 3 Multiple ribs 230 are provided, and the multiple ribs 230 are spaced apart along the length of the box body 200, with each rib 230 extending circumferentially along the box body 200.

[0059] The inner wall of the tank 200 is provided with ribs 230 to prevent the liquid from shaking too much when holding the water tank assembly, which could cause the liquid to overflow.

[0060] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, a filter screen 400 is installed inside the housing 200, and the filter screen 400 is clipped between two adjacent rib positions 230.

[0061] The filter screen 400 is used to filter the liquid to prevent impurities in the liquid from getting stuck in or inside the outlet pipe 160, thus affecting the water supply performance.

[0062] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the housing 200 is equipped with a filter screen 400 and a partition 500; the filter screen 400 divides the receiving cavity into a filtering cavity and a connecting cavity, and the partition 500 divides the connecting cavity into an inlet cavity and an outlet cavity. Both the inlet cavity and the outlet cavity are connected to the filtering cavity through the filter screen 400; the water pipe includes an inlet pipe 150 and an outlet pipe 160, with the end of the inlet pipe 150 extending into the inlet cavity and the end of the outlet pipe 160 extending into the outlet cavity.

[0063] Specifically, please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the water tank assembly includes a filter screen 400 and a partition 500. The partition 500 separates the inlet pipe 150 and the outlet pipe 160. The inlet pipe 150 inputs liquid into the tank body 200, and the liquid is filtered by the filter screen 400 and discharged from the outlet pipe 160. Furthermore, the filter screen 400 is snapped between two adjacent ribs 230, allowing the filter screen 400 to be detachably installed inside the tank body 200, facilitating the installation and removal of the filter screen 400.

[0064] The filter screen 400 is used to filter the liquid and prevent impurities in the liquid from getting stuck in the outlet pipe 160 or inside the pipe, affecting the water supply performance; the baffle 500 allows the water to pass through the filter screen 400 multiple times, enhancing the filtration effect.

[0065] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water pipe and the tank cover 100 are an integral structure.

[0066] Specifically, the structure with a lid 100, an inlet pipe 150, and an outlet pipe 160 is formed by injection molding using a mold.

[0067] The water pipe and the cover 100 are integrated into one piece, eliminating the need to assemble the water pipe onto the cover 100 later, saving assembly time and improving assembly efficiency; in addition, the integrated structure can improve assembly accuracy and assembly firmness, avoiding the problem of water pipes easily falling off.

[0068] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water tank assembly further includes a sealing cover 300, the tank cover 100 is provided with a through hole 140, and the sealing cover 300 covers the through hole 140.

[0069] Specifically, the sealing cap 300 is inserted into the through hole 140.

[0070] The sealing cap 300 achieves a seal for the water tank assembly.

[0071] In an optional embodiment of this utility model, the water tank assembly further includes a decorative panel 600, which is installed on the outer wall of the tank body 200.

[0072] Specifically, the decorative panel 600 is adhered to the outer wall of the housing 200 and is located on the side of the housing 200 away from the first clearance groove 210.

[0073] Decorative panel 600 is used to decorate the water tank assembly.
