[0046] In the related art, some electric appliances are provided with a water tank, and the water tank is mostly a long cylindrical structure. The water tank has a large placement stroke, and therefore the water tank is often tilted during placement. When a guide rib is arranged at the bottom of the water tank, the water tank is often lifted by the guide rib, so that the water tank cannot be stably placed. If no guide rib is designed, the water tank cannot be placed in place. Therefore, the shell assembly 100 is provided to solve the problem of the water tank 130 not being placed in place.
[0047] It should be noted that the shell assembly 100 provided by the present application can be used in air purifiers, humidifiers, robotic vacuum cleaners and other electric appliances with a water tank 130 structure. For ease of understanding, the embodiments of the present application take a skirting line humidifying device as the application scenario of the shell assembly 100.
[0048] Referring to Figure 1 It should be noted that the shell assembly 100 provided by the present application can be used in air purifiers, humidifiers, robotic vacuum cleaners and other electric appliances with a water tank 130 structure. For ease of understanding, the embodiments of the present application take a skirting line humidifying device as the application scenario of the shell assembly 100.
[0049] Specifically, the bracket 120 can be an injection molded member and is locked to the top of the water tank 110 by bolts. Preferably, a sealing member can be arranged between the bracket 120 and the water tank 110 to ensure the sealing of the bracket 120 and the water tank 110, so as to avoid water seepage between the bracket 120 and the water tank 110. For example, the sealing member can be a sponge layer, a rubber ring, a rubber strip or the like, which will not be limited here. The water tank 130 contains water for atomization humidification, is installed on the bracket 120, and one end extends into the receiving cavity 111 of the water tank 110, so that the water tank 110 can receive water from the water tank 130 to facilitate subsequent atomization work.
[0050] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 Further, the bracket 120 includes a guide surface 122 that defines the inner diameter of the through hole 121, and the guide surface 122 can define the coaxial arrangement of the water tank 130 and the through hole 121. In this way, the water tank 130 will not be tilted during placement, ensuring accurate docking of the water tank 110 and the water tank 130.
[0051] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the through hole 121 is the same as or slightly larger than the outer diameter of the water tank 130, and it can be understood that the guide surface 122 is the peripheral side wall surface of the through hole 121. In this way, during the placement of the water tank 130 in the sink 110, the outer wall surface of the water tank 130 abuts against the guide surface 122, and under the limitation of the guide surface 122, the water tank 130 cannot be circumferentially deflected and is vertically placed in the sink 110 along the axis direction of the water tank 130.
[0052] Continuing to refer to Figure 3 As shown, in other embodiments, the guide surface 122 is circumferentially provided with a plurality of guide ribs 123 along the axis thereof, and each guide rib 123 abuts against the peripheral outer wall of the water tank 130.
[0053] Specifically, the inner diameter of the through hole 121 is larger than the outer diameter of the water tank 130, thereby facilitating the water tank 130 to be arranged on the support 120. Further, the guide surface 122 is provided with a plurality of guide ribs 123 protruding therefrom, so that the passing space of the water tank 130 is reduced, each guide rib 123 abuts against and limits the wall surface of the water tank 130, the water tank 130 sinks along the extension direction of the guide rib 123, and the water tank 130 does not deviate during the lowering process, thereby achieving precise butt joint of the water tank 130 and the sink 110.
[0054] Further, the peripheral outer wall of the water tank 130 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves, and each guide groove is respectively inserted and matched with a corresponding guide rib 123.
[0055] Specifically, the size of each guide groove is the same as the size of the corresponding guide rib 123, so that during the lowering process of the water tank 130, each guide rib 123 is correspondingly inserted into the guide groove, the water tank 130 sinks along the extension direction of the guide rib 123, further reducing the deviation of the water tank 130 during the lowering process, and improving the placement accuracy of the water tank 130.
[0056] Similarly, in other embodiments, the guide grooves can also be arranged on the guide surface 122, and the guide ribs 123 can be arranged on the outer side of the water tank 130, which can also meet the lowering and guiding requirements of the water tank 130, and the specific principle is the same as the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0057] In some embodiments, the length of the guide rib 123 in the gravity direction is not less than one tenth of the length of the water tank 130 in the gravity direction.
[0058] For example, the length of the guide rib 123 can be one-tenth, one-ninth, one-eighth, one-seventh, one-sixth, or the like of the length of the water tank 130, and can be selected according to actual needs, which is not limited here. Through the above numerical setting, the water tank 130 has sufficient contact with the guide rib 123 in the limiting area after entering the through hole 121, and the water tank 130 will not be skewed or offset when it is too long.
[0059] Referring back to Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the water tank 130 is provided with a limiting portion 133 and a containing portion 132, the containing portion 132 is contained in the containing cavity 111 through the through hole 121, the limiting portion 133 is arranged at one end of the containing portion 132 away from the containing cavity 111, and the outer diameter of the limiting portion 133 is greater than the inner diameter of the through hole 121.
[0060] Specifically, the limiting portion 133 and the containing portion 132 are arranged integrally, during the placement of the water tank 130, the containing portion 132 enters the through hole 121 of the support 120 first, and after the water tank 130 is placed in place, the limiting portion 133 with the outer diameter greater than the through hole 121 cannot continue to pass through the through hole 121 of the support 120. In this way, the water tank 130 can be hung on the support 120 through the limiting portion 133, realizing the assembly of the water tank 130 and the support 120, and further improving the placement accuracy of the water tank 130.
[0061] Referring back to Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the support 120 is provided with a limiting ring 125 along the circumferential side of the through hole 121, a transition surface 134 is arranged between the limiting portion 133 and the containing portion 132, and the limiting ring 125 abuts against the transition surface 134.
[0062] Specifically, the limiting ring 125 can be a ring block structure with a certain height or a ring structure with a plurality of protruding shafts. Through the arrangement of the limiting ring 125, when the water tank 130 is installed in place, the limiting ring 125 abuts against the transition surface 134, thereby providing support for the water tank 130 and ensuring the stable installation of the water tank 130.
[0063] Preferably, the transition surface 134 is arranged in an arc shape to realize the smooth transition of the limiting portion 133 and the containing portion 132 and improve the industrial aesthetics of the water tank 130.
[0064] In some embodiments, the humidifying device further comprises a fan 200 and an atomizer 300, the atomizer 300 is installed on the sink 110 and converts the liquid in the containing cavity 111 into a spray, and the fan 200 is installed on one side of the sink 110 and delivers the spray to the indoor.
[0065] Specifically, the humidifying device comprises circuit system and control assembly, the fan 200 and the atomizer 300 can be started under the control of the control assembly in the power-on state. The atomizer 300 can convert the water in the accommodation cavity 111 into mist by heating or ultrasonic oscillation, and then discharge to the indoor under the suction of the substation to carry out air humidification.
[0066] With reference to the drawings Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide ribs 123 are equidistantly distributed, and the water tank 130 and the guide surface 122 form a plurality of air ducts 124.
[0067] Specifically, the air duct 124 is in communication with the conveying channel of the fan 200, so that the fan 200 sucks the mist during the operation of the humidifying device, and discharges the mist to the indoor through the air duct 124 to carry out air humidification operation. Due to the uniform distribution of the guide ribs 123, the air ducts 124 are also uniformly distributed, and the chaotic mist generated in the water tank 110 is smoothed by the guide ribs 123 and then discharged from the air duct 124, so that the mist is more uniform when it is blown out.
[0068] In some embodiments, the water tank 110 is provided with a water inlet nut 400 coaxially arranged with the through hole 121, and the water tank 130 is provided with a water inlet 131 at one end of the accommodation cavity 111, and the water inlet 131 is connected with the water inlet nut 400 after the water tank 130 is accommodated in the accommodation cavity 111.
[0069] Specifically, the water tank 130 is connected with the water inlet nut 400, and the internal water body can be injected into the water tank 110 through the water inlet 131. Through the coaxial arrangement of the water inlet nut 400, the water tank 130 and the through hole 121, the three always keep the same axis during the lowering of the water tank 130 under the guidance of the water tank 130. After the water tank 130 is aligned, the water tank 130 needs to be connected with the water inlet nut 400, so that the water body of the water tank 130 can be injected into the water tank 110, and the accurate positioning of the water tank 130 is realized.
[0070] The embodiment of the present application also provides a skirting line comprising the shell assembly 100 or the humidifying device in any of the above embodiments.
[0071] The shell assembly 100 in any of the above embodiments is provided in the embodiment, so the shell assembly 100 in any of the above embodiments has all the beneficial effects, which will not be described one by one.
[0072] In summary, the shell assembly 100, the humidifying device and the skirting line provided by the present application enable the user to place the water tank 130 more easily and accurately without repeated adjustment, greatly improving the convenience of use. At the same time, correct placement of the water tank 130 reduces the risk of damage to the equipment due to misoperation, prolonging the service life of the product. In addition, the uniform mist outlet air duct 124 design makes the mist distribution more uniform, improves the humidification efficiency, and avoids the phenomenon of uneven humidification.
[0073] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined in any manner. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described, but as long as the combinations of the technical features do not contradict, they should be considered within the scope of the present disclosure.
