The embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations thereon, and will be collectively referred to as "clothes" below and will not be specifically exemplified.

[0064] The specific embodiments of the water tank structure and the iron provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0065] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water tank structure 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a water tank body 100, a filter screen assembly 200 and a filter 300.

[0066] The water tank body 100 has a receiving cavity 101. The water tank body 100 is provided with a water inlet 102 and a water outlet 103 communicating with the receiving cavity 101. The water inlet 102 can be opened and closed relative to the water tank body 100. The filter screen assembly 200 is provided on the water inlet 102, and the filter element 300 is provided at the water outlet 103.

[0067] It is understood that the water tank structure 10 provided in this application embodiment can be used in an ironing machine. The ironing machine includes a steam generator and a water pump. Under the action of the water pump, the water in the water tank structure 10 can enter the steam generator through the water outlet 103. The heating element in the steam generator can heat the water to the boiling point and spray high-temperature steam through the ironing surface of the ironing machine, thereby using the high-temperature steam to iron out the wrinkles on the clothes.

[0068] The water inlet 102 on the water tank body 100 is used to add water into the receiving cavity 101. The filter screen assembly 200 is set on the water inlet 102, so that the water entering the receiving cavity 101 can be initially filtered by the filter screen assembly 200 to prevent debris from accumulating in the receiving cavity 101.

[0069] The filter element 300 is installed at the water outlet 103. In this way, when the water pump is working, the water discharged from the water outlet 103 is further filtered by the filter element 300, which prevents impurities from entering the water pump and causing blockage, thereby extending the service life of the ironing machine.

[0070] Furthermore, the filter mesh assembly 200 can have a larger pore size than the filter element 300, enabling staged filtration. The filter mesh assembly 200 initially intercepts larger debris in the water, preventing it from accumulating in the receiving cavity 101. The filter element 300 further removes smaller debris from the water in the receiving cavity 101, thus preventing debris from entering the water pump and causing blockage.

[0071] This application provides a filter assembly 200 on the water inlet 102 of the water tank body 100 to initially filter the water entering the receiving cavity 101 and prevent debris from accumulating in the receiving cavity 101. A filter element 300 is provided at the water outlet 103 of the water tank body 100 to further filter the water discharged from the water outlet 103. In this way, through secondary filtration, it is possible to prevent debris in the water from entering the water pump and causing the water pump to become clogged, thereby extending the service life of the ironing machine.

[0072] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the water tank body 100 has a mounting groove 104 that matches the filter element 300. The mounting groove 104 connects the receiving cavity 101 and the water outlet 103, and the filter element 300 is disposed in the mounting groove 104.

[0073] In this way, the installation groove 104 connects the containing cavity 101 and the water outlet 103, and when the water pump is working, the water in the containing cavity 101 can enter the water pump through the installation groove 104 and the water outlet 103 in turn, and the water discharged from the water outlet 103 is further filtered by the filtering piece 300 in the installation groove 104.

[0074] The installation groove 104 is used to install the filtering piece 300, so as to limit the filtering piece 300 at the water outlet 103, thereby avoiding the filtering piece 300 from being separated from the water outlet 103 and affecting the filtering effect.

[0075] For example, the cross-sectional shape of the installation groove 104 can be circular, square, triangular, sector, etc., which is matched with the shape of the filtering piece 300, and the present application does not make too many limitations on this.

[0076] In some specific embodiments, the filtering piece 300 is a filter core or filter cotton.

[0077] In this way, the filter core or filter cotton can further remove the small impurities in the water in the containing cavity 101, so as to avoid the impurities from entering the water pump.

[0078] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the filter screen assembly 200 includes a filter screen support 210 and a filter screen 220 arranged on the filter screen support 210, the filter screen support 210 is inserted on the water tank body 100 through the water inlet 102, and the filter screen 220 and part of the filter screen support 210 are located in the containing cavity 101.

[0079] The filter screen support 210 is inserted on the water tank body 100 through the water inlet 102, so that the filter screen 220 can be arranged on the water inlet 102 through the filter screen support 210, so as to block the impurities in the water entering the containing cavity 101 through the filter screen 220.

[0080] The filter screen support 210 is inserted on the water tank body 100, so that the structure is simple, and the filter screen support 210 can be conveniently detached from the water tank body 100, so as to replace or clean the filter screen 220, so that the filter screen assembly 200 can continue to be used.

[0081] In addition, the filter screen 220 and part of the filter screen support 210 are located in the containing cavity 101, so that the overall structure of the water tank structure 10 is more compact, so as to reduce the volume of the ironing machine.

[0082] Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some specific embodiments, the filter screen support 210 is a support sleeve, the filter screen 220 is arranged at one end of the support sleeve, and the other end of the support sleeve is provided with a flange 211 which is overlapped with the support platform 1021 of the inner wall of the water inlet 102.

[0083] In this way, the support sleeve and the filter screen 220 can form a collection cavity, so as to collect the large-volume sundries blocked by the filter screen 220 through the collection cavity. After the collection cavity is full, the support sleeve can be taken out of the water tank body 100, and then the collection cavity can be cleaned.

[0084] The flange 211 arranged on the support sleeve is used to be overlapped with the support platform 1021 of the inner wall of the water inlet 102, so as to support the filter screen support 210 through the support platform 1021.

[0085] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the water tank structure 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application further comprises a water inlet cover 400 which is arranged on the water tank body 100 and detachably connected with the water tank body 100, and covers the water inlet 102.

[0086] In this way, the water inlet cover 400 is arranged on the water inlet 102, so as to realize the opening and closing of the water inlet 102.

[0087] The water inlet cover 400 is arranged on the water inlet 102, so as to close the water inlet 102, thereby avoiding the water in the containing cavity 101 from pouring out when the ironing machine is working. The water inlet cover 400 is detached from the water inlet 102, so as to open the water inlet 102, thereby facilitating the addition of water into the containing cavity 101.

[0088] Referring to Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the water inlet cover 400 comprises a water inlet cover body 410, the water inlet cover body 410 is provided with an operation part 420, a first connecting part 430 and a second connecting part 440, the first connecting part 430 is inserted into the water inlet 102, and the second connecting part 440 is detachably connected with the water tank body 100.

[0089] The operation part 420 can be used by the user to detach the water inlet cover body 410 from the water tank body 100. The first connecting part 430 is inserted into the water inlet 102, so as to block the water inlet 102 through the first connecting part 430, thereby avoiding the water from pouring out. The second connecting part 440 is detachably connected with the water tank body 100, so as to limit the water inlet cover body 410 on the water tank body 100, thereby avoiding the water inlet cover body 410 from falling off the water tank body 100 when the ironing machine is used.

[0090] Further, referring toFigure 2 and Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 10, the first connecting portion 430 is inserted into the water inlet 102 and abuts against the support sleeve of the filter screen support 210 of the filter screen assembly 200. Thus, the movement of the filter screen support 210 is limited by the first connecting portion 430 and the support table 1021 of the inner wall of the water inlet 102, so as to improve the stability of the installation of the filter screen assembly 200.

[0091] For example, the operation portion 420 can be arranged on the side of the water inlet cover body 410 away from the water tank body 100, and the operation portion 420 can be a protrusion formed on the water inlet cover body 410. Thus, the user can conveniently apply a force to the operation portion 420 to open the water inlet cover body 410.

[0092] For example, the second connecting portion 440 can be connected to the water tank body 100 by buckling. The second connecting portion 440 can be a clamping block, and the water tank body 100 is provided with a clamping groove matched with the clamping block, so as to realize the detachable connection of the second connecting portion 440 and the water tank body 100.

[0093] Referring to FIG. 10, Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 10, the water inlet cover 400 further includes a sealing member 450 arranged on the first connecting portion 430. The sealing member 450 is used to seal the first gap between the first connecting portion 430 and the inner wall of the water inlet 102.

[0094] Thus, by arranging the sealing member 450 to seal the first gap between the first connecting portion 430 and the inner wall of the water inlet 102, the leakage of the water in the accommodating cavity 101 through the first gap is avoided, so as to improve the user experience.

[0095] For example, the sealing member 450 can be sleeved on the outer side of the first connecting portion 430. The sealing member 450 can be a silica gel member, a rubber member or other sealing materials with certain elasticity, and the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0096] Referring to FIG. 10, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 10, the water tank body 100 is provided with an accommodating groove 105. The accommodating groove 105 has an insertion groove 106 in communication with the accommodating groove 105. The second connecting portion 440 is inserted into the insertion groove 106.

[0097] The water inlet cover body 410 is partially located in the accommodating groove 105, and the water inlet cover body 410 and the accommodating groove 105 have a second gap therebetween.

[0098] The second connecting portion 440 can be an insertion buckle matched with the insertion groove 106. Thus, the second connecting portion 440 is inserted into the insertion groove 106, so as to realize the detachable connection of the second connecting portion 440 and the water tank body 100.

[0099] It can be understood that the second gap is mainly used to provide a moving space for the water inlet cover body 410 to facilitate the installation and disassembly of the water inlet cover body 410, and to avoid interference.

[0100] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the water tank structure 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application further comprises a water outlet pipe 500, and the water tank body 100 is provided with a joint 107 which is in communication with the water outlet 103, and the water outlet pipe 500 is connected with the joint 107.

[0101] Specifically, the joint 107 can be in communication with the mounting groove 104, so that the water in the containing cavity 101 can be filtered by the filter 300 arranged in the mounting groove 104 first, and then sequentially pass through the water outlet 103, the joint 107 and the water outlet pipe 500, and then enter the water pump.

[0102] Specifically, the joint 107 can be in communication with the mounting groove 104, so that the water in the containing cavity 101 can be filtered by the filter 300 arranged in the mounting groove 104 first, and then sequentially pass through the water outlet 103, the joint 107 and the water outlet pipe 500, and then enter the water pump.
