[0047] In the related art, some electric appliances are provided with a water tank, and in the state of tilting the machine body, water leakage problems are prone to occur, there is a risk of electric leakage, causing safety hazards. Therefore, the present application provides a water tank structure to improve the water leakage problem in the state of tilting the machine body.
[0048] It should be noted that the water tank structure provided by the present application can be used in air purifiers, humidifiers and other electric appliances that need to be waterproof and leakproof. In order to facilitate understanding, the embodiments of the present application take the humidifying device of the skirting line as the application scenario of the water tank structure.
[0049] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiments of the present application provide a humidifying device of the skirting line, which comprises a water tank structure. The water tank structure comprises a tank body 110 and a water tank 120, wherein the tank body 110 is provided with a first accommodating cavity 1111 and a second accommodating cavity 1112 located above the first accommodating cavity 1111 in the direction of gravity, and the water tank 120 is used for containing liquid and is installed in the tank body 110.
[0050] Specifically, one end of the water tank 120 is accommodated in the first accommodating cavity 1111, the other end is accommodated in the second accommodating cavity 1112, and the water tank 120 is provided with a water inlet 121 at one end located in the first accommodating cavity 1111. The first accommodating cavity 1111 is configured to form a first water storage area 11133 communicating with the water inlet. Part of the second accommodating cavity 1112 is configured to form a second water storage area 1114 communicating with the first water storage area 11133. The second water storage area 1114 is located above the first water storage area 1113 in the direction of gravity, and the volume of the second water storage area 1114 is greater than that of the first water storage area 1113. In this way, when the humidifying device is tilted, the second water storage area 1114 can effectively receive water flow from the first water storage area 1113, thereby avoiding water seepage on the outside of the humidifying device.
[0051] Exemplarily, the water tank structure is vertically arranged in normal state, and the water tank 120 contains water for humidification. Under the action of gravity, the water flows into the first water storage area 1113 through the water inlet 121. As the liquid level of the water flow rises, when the liquid level exceeds the connecting gap between the water inlet 121 and the tank body 110, the gas in the tank body 110 cannot be discharged, and the water in the water tank 120 cannot flow into the first water storage area 1113 either. The liquid level of the first water storage area 1113 is stable. The volume of the second water storage area 1114 is much larger than that of the first water storage area 1113. When the water tank structure is in the dumping state, the second water storage area 1114 can completely contain the water flow from the first water storage area 1113, so that the liquid cannot seep out of the tank body 110 to other components, avoiding the risk of electric leakage caused by contact with electrical devices, and reducing the safety hazard.
[0052] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the second water storage area 1114 is larger than that of the first water storage area 1113.
[0053] It can be understood that the second water storage area 1114 and the first water storage area 1113 extend along the same axial direction, and the tank body 110 is an integrally formed structure, so that the connection between the first water storage area 1113 and the second water storage area 1114 suddenly changes in diameter to form a stepped surface structure. The height of the second water storage area 1114 is much larger than that of the first water storage area 1113, and the inner diameter of the second water storage area 1114 is larger than that of the first water storage area 1113. The volume of the second water storage area 1114 is much larger than that of the first water storage area 1113, so that in the dumping state, the second water storage area 1114 can completely contain the water flow from the first water storage area 1113. In this way, when the water tank structure is in the dumping state, the first water storage area 1113 is located above, so that the water flow can flow along the stepped surface to the second water storage area 1114 located below under the action of gravity, and gather in the second water storage area 1114.
[0054] In some embodiments, the first water storage area 1113 can form a stepped surface structure with the second water storage area 1114 on one side or multiple sides, and the wall surfaces of the first water storage area 1113 and the second water storage area 1114 on the remaining sides are located on the same vertical plane. Of course, in other embodiments, the peripheral sides of the first water storage area 1113 all form stepped surface structures, and the first water storage area 1113 and the second water storage area 1114 are coaxially arranged.
[0055] Further, the tank body 110 is also provided with a water inlet nut 113 connected with the water tank 120, and the water tank 120 is threadedly connected with the water inlet nut 113. When the water level of the first water storage area 1113 exceeds the water inlet nut 113, the tank body 110 and the water tank 120 are in a liquid seal state.
[0056] Specifically, the top of the water tank 120 is in a sealed state, and when the bottom water inlet 121 of the water tank 120 is screwed with the water inlet nut 113, the water in the water tank 120 can be discharged from the middle hole of the water inlet nut 113 into the first water storage area 1113, and correspondingly, the air in the groove body 110 is discharged into the water tank 120 from the gap between the water tank 120 and the water inlet nut 113. However, when the water level of the first water storage area 1113 exceeds the water inlet nut 113, the connection gap between the water tank 120 and the water inlet nut 113 is sealed by the liquid, and the air in the groove body 110 cannot enter the water tank 120, and the water tank 120 is in a sealed state, and the internal water cannot continue to be injected into the sink, forming a liquid seal state. In this way, the embodiment can limit the liquid capacity of the first water storage area 1113, while ensuring the provision of atomized water, reduce the water capacity of the first water storage area 1113, and further ensure that the second water storage area 1114 can completely accommodate the liquid from the first water storage area 1113 in the pouring state, preventing liquid from leaking out.
[0057] Referring back to Figure 3 Further, the groove body includes a main body 111 and a bracket 112, the bracket 112 is installed on the port of the main body 111 and a through hole 1121 is formed in the middle of the bracket 112, and the water tank 120 is accommodated in the first accommodation cavity 1111 and the second accommodation cavity 1112 through the through hole 1121. The bracket 112, the outer wall of the water tank 120, and the inner wall of the main body 111 together form the second water storage area 1114.
[0058] Specifically, the bracket 112 is installed above the main body, and a sealing member is arranged between the bracket 112 and the main body 111, and the bracket 112 and the main body 111 are fixed by screws, so that in the pouring state, water flow cannot leak out from the gap between the bracket 112 and the main body 111. For example, the sealing member can be a sponge layer, a sealing ring or the like, which meets the sealing requirement of the bracket 112 and the main body 111.
[0059] Further, the inner diameter of the through hole 131 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second water storage area 1114, so that after the bracket 112 is fixed on the main body 111, the bracket 112 forms an annular blocking surface relative to the main body 111. In this way, in the pouring state, the water flow enters the second water storage area 1114 and is blocked by the blocking surface at the end, so that the problem of water leakage does not occur.
[0060] Referring back to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the groove body 110 is also provided with a drain port 1116, which is arranged on one side of the first water storage area 1113 and communicates with the first water storage area 1113. In this way, the drain port 1116 is arranged at the bottom of the groove body 110, and when the internal water of the humidifying device is replaced, the water tank 120 is taken out, the drain port 1116 is opened to discharge the internal water, which is convenient for cleaning.
[0061] Further, the groove body 110 is further provided with a flow guide surface 1115, which is located at the first water storage area 1113 and is inclined downward along the gravity direction on one side. A drain port 1116 is located at the side of the flow guide surface 1115 which is downward along the gravity direction.
[0062] Specifically, the flow guide surface 1115 is the bottom surface of the main body 111, and in the vertical state, the water body covers the flow guide surface 1115. The drain port 1116 is located at the lowest side of the flow guide surface 1115, so that when draining, the water can naturally flow out along the inclination angle of the flow guide surface 1115, avoiding the backflow of the water body remaining in the groove body 110.
[0063] Further, the sink structure further comprises a plugging member 160 installed at the drain port 1116.
[0064] Specifically, the plugging member 160 is used to plug the drain port 1116 to avoid water seepage in the working state. When it is necessary to drain and clean, the plugging member 160 can be removed to open the drain port 1116. The water flow is discharged under the guidance of the flow guide surface 1115. Exemplarily, the plugging member 160 can be a silica gel plug, a plugging cap or the like, which can be selected according to actual needs, and is not specifically limited here.
[0065] In some embodiments, the humidifying device further comprises a fan 140 and an atomizer 130, the atomizer 130 is installed on the groove body 110 and converts the liquid in the first water storage area 1113 into spray, and the fan 140 is installed on one side of the groove body 110 and delivers the spray to the indoor.
[0066] Specifically, the humidifying device comprises a circuit system and a control assembly, and the fan 140 and the atomizer 130 can be started in the working state under the control of the control assembly. The atomizer 130 can convert the water in the first water storage area 1113 into mist by heating or ultrasonic oscillation, and then discharge to the indoor under the suction of the extension to humidify the air.
[0067] Continuing to refer to Figure 5 Further, the sink is further provided with an exhaust duct 150, which is connected with the inner wall of the first water storage area 1113 and is provided with an exhaust port 151, which is located at the side of the exhaust duct 150 away from the inner wall of the same side second water storage area 1114, so that when the humidifying device is tilted, the water level of the second water storage area 1114 will not submerge the exhaust port 151.
[0068] It can be understood that the inner diameter of the first water storage area 1113 is smaller than the second water storage area 1114, so that the first water storage area 1113 has at least one wall surface with a height difference from the second water storage area 1114. The exhaust duct 150 is arranged on the side wall of the first water storage area 1113 with a height difference, and the exhaust port 151 faces away from the second water storage area 1114 wall surface on the side, so that the exhaust port 151 has a spacing from the second water storage area 1114 wall surface. In this way, in the pouring state, the water flow converges at the bottom of the second water storage area 1114 under the action of gravity, at which time the exhaust port 151 is located above the liquid level, avoiding the risk of water flow entering the exhaust port 151 and damaging the internal electrical components.
[0069] The embodiments of the present application also provide a skirting line, comprising the sink structure or the humidifying device in any of the above embodiments.
[0070] The embodiments of the present application also provide a skirting line, comprising the sink structure or the humidifying device in any of the above embodiments.
[0071] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined in any way. In order to make the description simple, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are not described, but as long as the combination of the technical features does not exist contradictory, it should be considered as the scope of the present application.
[0072] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several embodiments of the present application, and the description is more specific and detailed, but it should not be understood as a limitation on the scope of the patent application.
