DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] To make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model clearer and more apparent, the embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other arbitrarily without conflict.

[0028] The water tank structure provided by the embodiments of the utility model, as shown in the figure, comprises: a vertically erected water tank 100; and a connecting bracket 200, one end of the connecting bracket 200 is connected with the water tank 100, and the other end is arranged to be connected with a side wall to prevent the water tank 100 from falling over. Figures 1 to 9

[0029] The water tank structure, the water tank 100 is arranged near the side wall and is vertically erected, one end of the connecting bracket 200 is connected with the water tank 100, and the other end is connected with the side wall, this scheme can effectively improve the stability of the water tank 100 after installation, can better avoid the water tank 100 from falling over when subjected to external force, and is safer.

[0030] In some examples, as​Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the water tank includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and a peripheral wall. The top wall and the bottom wall are located at opposite ends of the height direction of the water tank. The peripheral wall connects the top wall and the peripheral wall. One end of the connecting bracket 200 is adjacent to the top wall (the distance between one end of the connecting bracket 200 and the top wall is set to be no more than 300mm) and is connected to the upper part of the peripheral wall of the water tank 100. In this way, the water tank 100 is less likely to tip over when subjected to external forces.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, multiple connecting brackets 200 are located on both sides of the water tank 100. At least one end of each connecting bracket 200 is connected to the upper part of the peripheral wall of the water tank 100. Alternatively, one end of some connecting brackets 200 may be fixed to the middle or lower part of the peripheral wall of the water tank 100, which can effectively improve the stability of the water tank 100 after installation. Preferably, the upper part of either side of the water tank 100 is fixed to the same side wall via connecting brackets 200, meaning that both sides of the water tank 100 are fixed to the same side wall via connecting brackets 200. This makes the water tank 100 less prone to shaking or tipping when subjected to external forces, resulting in better safety.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the peripheral wall of the water tank 100 comprises a rear side wall 110, a left side wall 120, a front side wall 130 and a right side wall 140 connected in sequence in the circumferential direction, and the plurality of connecting supports 200 are located on the opposite sides of the left side wall 120 and the right side wall 140 (i.e. part of the plurality of connecting supports 200 are located on the left side of the water tank 100, and the other part are located on the right side of the water tank 100), and the rear side wall 110 is opposite to the side wall. It can be that the plurality of connecting supports 200 are two connecting supports 200, one of which is located on the left side of the water tank 100, and the other is located on the right side of the water tank 100; or it can be that the plurality of connecting supports 200 are three connecting supports 200, one of which is located on the left side of the water tank 100, and the other two are located on the right side of the water tank 100; or it can be that the plurality of connecting supports 200 are three connecting supports 200, two of which are located on the left side of the water tank 100, and the other is located on the right side of the water tank 100; or it can be that the plurality of connecting supports 200 are four connecting supports 200, two of which are located on the left side of the water tank 100, and the other two are located on the right side of the water tank 100, and the like; all of the above can achieve the purpose of the present application, and the design idea is not deviated from the design idea of the present application, which will not be described here again, and all should be within the protection scope of the present application.

The reinforcing fixing edge 194 and the connecting part 191 are bent relative to each other (i.e., the reinforcing fixing edge 194 and the connecting part 191 are connected to form a bent structure, such as an L-shaped structure). This way, the reinforcing fixing edge 194 can effectively improve the connection strength between the mounting base 190 and the insulation layer 180, and can better prevent the first part from detaching from the insulation layer 180; Figure 4 As shown, in the first direction, the dimension A of the connecting part 191 is smaller than the dimension B of the insulation layer 180; in the second direction, the dimension H1 of the reinforcing fixing edge 194 is not smaller than the dimension H of the second part 192; this design results in a stronger connection between the mounting base 190 and the insulation layer 180, and the first part is less likely to detach from the insulation layer 180. Wherein, as... Figure 4 As shown, the connecting part 191 extends in the first direction, the reinforcing fixing edge 194 extends in the second direction, the second part 192 extends in the second direction, and the included angle between the first direction and the second direction is 60°-120° (in this application, the included angle between the first direction and the second direction is set to 90°, and the connecting part 191 is set as a connecting plate).

In the second direction, the dimension H1 of each reinforcing fixing edge 194 is not less than the dimension H of the second part 192, so that the connection strength between the mounting base 190 and the insulation layer 180 is higher, and the two first parts are less likely to detach from the insulation layer 180.

[0037] Alternatively, one end of the connecting bracket 200 can be connected to the second part 192 by screws; or one end of the connecting bracket 200 can be welded to the second part 192, etc.; all of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not deviated from the design concept of this utility model, so they will not be elaborated here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

Wherein, the insulating layer 180 is arranged between the liner 170 and the shell 160. It can be that the insulating layer 180 is arranged as a foamed foam layer. In this scheme, the rear side wall 110, the left side wall 120, the front side wall 130 and the right side wall 140 of the water tank 100 are the rear side wall 110, the left side wall 120, the front side wall 130 and the right side wall 140 of the shell 160.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the shell 160 is provided with a strength reinforcing area 162, one end of the connecting bracket 200 is connected with the strength reinforcing area 162, so that deformation or tearing damage of the position on the shell 160 connected with the connecting bracket 200 can be avoided.
