[0049] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, like reference numerals refer to like elements, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. The following description of exemplary embodiments is not representative of all possible embodiments consistent with the present application. Instead, it merely presents an example of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0050] In the prior art, the iron includes an ironing head and a water tank, and the water tank is directly connected with the ironing head through screws or buckles. The water tank provides water for the ironing head, and the ironing head is used to convert the water into steam and output the steam to clothes, thereby ironing the clothes. However, the water tank in the prior art is a single-layer water tank, and the water tank is directly exposed outside. In the process of using or transporting the iron, if the iron collides or falls and causes the water tank to collide with a hard object or the ground, the water tank is more likely to be damaged, thereby causing the iron to possibly leak water or electricity and unable to continue to be used, and the safety is poor.

[0051] Based on this, the water tank structure provided in the embodiments of the present application is provided. The water tank assembly is connected with the first shell, and the second shell is arranged on the water tank assembly and connected with the first shell. In this way, the water tank assembly can be located in the accommodating cavity formed by the first shell and the second shell, and the water tank assembly can be protected by the first shell and the second shell when the water tank structure collides or falls, so as to prevent the water tank assembly from directly colliding with a hard object or the ground, thereby reducing the possibility of damage of the water tank assembly due to collision.

[0052] In order to facilitate understanding, the application scenario of the embodiments of the present application will be described first.

[0053] The object ironed by the iron should be understood in a broad sense, including but not limited to clothes, trousers and other articles for wearing, and can also include curtains, bed sheets, quilt covers and other fabrics. 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 illustrated.

[0054] The specific implementation of the water tank structure and the iron provided in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] With reference to Figures 1 to 8 The water tank structure provided in the embodiments of the present application includes a first shell 100, a water tank assembly 200 and a second shell 300, and the water tank assembly 200 is connected with the first shell 100. The second shell 300 is arranged on the water tank assembly 200 and connected with the first shell 100 to form an accommodating cavity for accommodating the water tank assembly 200.

[0056] The water tank assembly 200 is configured to store water, and the water tank assembly 200 is configured to communicate with an ironing head of an ironing machine to supply water to the ironing head.

[0057] For example, the water tank assembly 200 includes a water tank body 210 and a water tank cover 220, and the water tank body 210 is connected to the water tank cover 220. The water tank cover 220 is provided with a water inlet 223, and the water inlet 223 is in communication with the inside of the water tank body 210. Water is added to the water tank body 210 through the water inlet 223. The water tank body 210 is provided with a water outlet 214.

[0058] It should be noted that the water tank structure in the present application can be used in an ironing machine, and can also be used in other electrical appliances provided with a water tank. When the water tank structure is used in an ironing machine, the water outlet 214 is used to communicate with the ironing head of the ironing machine.

[0059] The water tank structure further includes a water inlet cover, which is used to open or cover the water inlet 223. When it is necessary to supplement water to the water tank assembly 200, the water inlet cover is removed from the water inlet 223 to open the water inlet 223. The first shell 100 has a communication hole 130, which communicates the outside with the water inlet 223. The water inlet cover is detachably connected to the circumferential side of the communication hole 130 to open or cover the communication hole 130, and thus to open or cover the water inlet 223. It can be understood that the first shell 100 can be connected to any one of the water tank body 210 and the water tank cover 220.

[0060] In some examples, one of the first shell 100 and the second shell 300 has a protrusion 140, and the other has a recess 312 matched with the protrusion 140, and the protrusion 140 abuts against the recess 312. For example, the first shell 100 has a protrusion 140, which is annularly arranged on the circumferential side of the first shell 100. The second shell 300 has a recess 312, which is annularly arranged on the circumferential side of the second shell 300. The protrusion 140 abuts against the recess 312 to embed the circumferential side of the first shell 100 with the circumferential side of the second shell 300, and thus to improve the structural consistency of the first shell 100 and the second shell 300.

[0061] The first shell 100 has a first accommodating groove 101, and part of the water tank assembly 200 is located in the first accommodating groove 101. The second shell 300 has a second accommodating groove 311, and part of the water tank assembly 200 is located in the second accommodating groove 311. The circumferential side of the first shell 100 is embedded with the circumferential side of the second shell 300 to splice the first accommodating groove 101 with the second accommodating groove 311 to form a closed accommodating cavity. The water tank assembly 200 is located in the accommodating cavity, and thus the first shell 100 and the second shell 300 have a better protection effect on the water tank assembly 200.

[0062] The water tank structure provided by the embodiment of the present application can make the water tank assembly 200 located in the accommodating cavity formed by the first shell 100 and the second shell 300, and then make the first shell 100 and the second shell 300 collide first when the water tank structure collides or falls, and then protect the water tank assembly 200 through the first shell 100 and the second shell 300, so as to prevent the water tank assembly 200 from colliding directly with a hard object or the ground, thereby reducing the possibility of damage of the water tank assembly 200 due to collision.

[0063] With reference to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the water tank structure provided by the embodiment of the present application further comprises a buffer 400, which is arranged between the water tank assembly 200 and the first shell 100, and / or the buffer 400 is arranged between the water tank assembly 200 and the second shell 300.

[0064] When the first shell 100 or the second shell 300 collides with the outside, the buffer 400 can absorb and disperse the impact force on the first shell 100 and the second shell 300, thereby slowing down the impact on the water tank assembly 200 and reducing the possibility of damage of the water tank assembly 200.

[0065] For example, the buffer 400 is an elastic member, which can buffer the impact through the elastic effect of the buffer 400. When the water tank assembly 200 is connected with the first shell 100, the buffer 400 is compressed, and then the buffer 400 can seal the water tank assembly 200 and the first shell 100 through the elastic force of the buffer 400.

[0066] Specifically, the buffer 400 can be arranged between the water tank cover 220 and the first shell 100.

[0067] With reference to Figure 3 、 Figure 5 , and Figure 6 , the water tank structure provided by the embodiment of the present application is arranged on one of the water tank assembly 200 and the first shell 100, and the buffer 400 is partially arranged in the first mounting groove 221. And / or, the second mounting groove is arranged on one of the water tank assembly 200 and the second shell 300, and the buffer 400 is partially arranged in the second mounting groove.

[0068] It can be understood that the first mounting groove 221 can be arranged on the water tank assembly 200 or on the first shell 100. The second mounting groove can be arranged on the water tank assembly 200 or on the second shell 300.

[0069] In some examples, the water tank assembly 200 has a first recess, the first shell 100 has a second recess, and when the water tank assembly 200 is connected to the first shell 100, the first recess and the second recess are combined to form a mounting cavity, and the buffer 400 is located in the mounting cavity.

[0070] In this way, the first mounting groove 221 and the second mounting groove can accommodate part of the buffer 400, thereby improving the structural integrity of the water tank assembly 200, the first shell 100, the second shell 300 and the buffer 400.

[0071] Referring to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the water tank structure provided by the embodiments of the present application has a buffer ring as the buffer 400, the first mounting groove 221 is an annular groove matched with the buffer ring, and / or the second mounting groove is an annular groove matched with the buffer ring.

[0072] The first mounting groove 221 and the second mounting groove can limit the buffer 400 to a certain extent, ensuring the stability and reliability of the buffer 400.

[0073] In some examples, the water tank cover 220 has a first fixing groove 224 and a support table 225, the support table 225 is located in the first fixing groove 224, and the water inlet 223 is located in the support table 225. The first mounting groove 221 is arranged at the bottom of the first fixing groove 224, and the first mounting groove 221 is arranged around the side of the support table 225. When the water tank assembly 200 is connected to the first shell 100, the support table 225 is partially inserted into the communication hole 130, so that the communication hole 130 is in communication with the water inlet 223.

[0074] The first shell 100 has a second fixing groove 150, the communication hole 130 is located in the second fixing groove 150, the second fixing groove 150 is partially located in the first fixing groove 224, and the side of the first shell 100 opposite to the bottom of the second fixing groove 150 abuts against the buffer 400. The second fixing groove 150 is used to accommodate at least part of the water inlet cover.

[0075] In some embodiments, the bottom of the second fixing groove 150 is provided with a third connecting part, the bottom of the first fixing groove 224 is provided with a fourth connecting part, the water inlet cover has a fifth connecting part, the water inlet cover is at least partially located in the first fixing groove 224, and the fifth connecting part is detachably connected with the fourth connecting part through the third connecting part, thereby enabling the water inlet cover to be detachably connected with the water tank assembly 200.

[0076] With reference to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the water tank structure provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises at least one first connecting portion 222 arranged on the water tank assembly 200, at least one second connecting portion 110 arranged on the first shell 100, and the first connecting portion 222 is connected to the second connecting portion 110 correspondingly.

[0077] It can be understood that the connecting mode of the first connecting portion 222 and the second connecting portion 110 can be screw connection, clamping, bonding or welding, etc.

[0078] In this way, by arranging the first connecting portion 222 and the second connecting portion 110, the water tank assembly 200 and the first shell 100 are connected.

[0079] With reference to Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 , the water tank structure provided by the embodiments of the present application further comprises a connecting piece 500, and the connecting piece 500 is connected to the first connecting portion 222 and the second connecting portion 110 correspondingly.

[0080] Among them, by arranging the connecting piece 500, the first connecting portion 222 and the second connecting portion 110 are connected.

[0081] For example, the water tank assembly 200 has a connecting plate 226, the first connecting portion 222 is a first connecting hole arranged on the connecting plate 226, the second connecting portion 110 is a connecting column arranged on the first shell 100, the connecting column has a second connecting hole, and the connecting piece 500 is connected to the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole. For example, the connecting piece 500 is a screw or a bolt, the first connecting hole is a through hole or a threaded hole matched with the connecting piece 500, and the second connecting hole is a threaded hole matched with the connecting piece 500.

[0082] Further, the connecting plate 226 is located on the water tank cover 220, and the water tank cover 220 further has a supporting plate 227, the supporting plate 227 is arranged on one side of the connecting plate 226, the supporting plate 227 is inclined relative to the connecting plate 226, and the supporting plate 227 is used for supporting the connecting plate 226, so as to improve the stability and reliability of the connecting plate 226.

[0083] With reference to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the water tank structure provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises at least one first clamping portion 120 arranged on the first shell 100, at least one second clamping portion 320 arranged on the second shell 300, and the first clamping portion 120 is clamped to the second clamping portion 320 correspondingly.

[0085] For example, the first clamping part 120 is a clamping convex provided on the inner wall of the first shell 100, the second clamping part 320 has a clamping hole 321, and the clamping convex is inserted into the clamping hole 321, so that the first clamping part 120 and the second clamping part 320 are clamped.

[0086] With reference to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The water tank structure provided in the embodiment of the application is that the end of the water tank assembly 200 towards the first shell 100 has a flange 211, and the end of the second clamping part 320 abuts against the flange 211.

[0087] The second clamping part 320 is located below the flange 211, and the second clamping part 320 abuts against the flange 211, so as to support the water tank assembly 200 through the second clamping part 320, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the water tank assembly 200. At this time, a gap can be formed between the bottom of the water tank assembly 200 and the second shell 300, thereby reducing the impact on the water tank assembly 200 when the second shell 300 collides.

[0088] For example, the flange 211 is located on the water tank body 210. The water tank body 210 also has a mounting part 213, one side of the flange 211 abuts against the second clamping part 320, and the mounting part 213 is located on the other side of the flange 211.

The second accommodating groove 311 is located in the shell body 310, and the second clamping portion 320 is connected with the side wall of the second accommodating groove 311. The second clamping portion 320 includes the clamping plate 322, the first support segment 323, and the second support segment 324, and the clamping hole 321 is located on the clamping plate 322. The clamping plate 322 is located outside the second accommodating groove 311, so that the clamping hole 321 is located outside the second accommodating groove 311, thereby facilitating the clamping of the clamping convex and the clamping hole 321.

[0094] The first support segment 323 and the second support segment 324 are respectively connected with the opposite two sides of the clamping plate 322, and the first support segment 323 and the second support segment 324 are both connected with the side wall and the bottom wall of the second accommodating groove 311, thereby the first support segment 323 and the second support segment 324 can provide stable support for the clamping plate 322, and ensure the stability and reliability of the clamping of the clamping convex and the clamping hole 321.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, the number of the second clamping portions 320 is multiple, and each second clamping portion 320 is sequentially and spacedly arranged on the inner wall of the second accommodating groove 311. The first clamping portion 120 is arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the second clamping portion 320.

[0096] Referring to the drawings, the water tank structure provided by the embodiment of the present application, the guide portion 212 is a guide groove arranged on the side surface of the water tank assembly 200.

[0097] Among them, the second clamping portion 320 is partially located in the guide groove and moves along the guide groove to provide a guiding effect for the second shell 300 through the guide groove.

[0098] Exemplarily, the number of the guide grooves is multiple, and each guide groove is sequentially and spacedly arranged on the side surface of the water tank body 210.
