[0002] With the increasing maturity of mold technology, the realism of various toy models is becoming higher and higher, enabling them to function as both toys and collectibles. Train models are a popular product among model toys and are loved by users. For example, existing technology CN219050309U discloses a spray-type locomotive model and train set model. The locomotive model is equipped with a spray water tank, which sprays water from three nozzles on the top and sides of the locomotive, achieving the effect of realistic steam train exhaust. However, the following problems were found in the actual production and use of the spray tank: (1) The entire tank body is connected by left and right composite parts by glue or ultrasonic welding. It is easy for the tank to break due to unstable bonding and product drop, resulting in water leakage and short service life; (2) When the left and right composite parts are directly glued, the glue is uncontrollable and easily sticks to the working area of ​​the atomizing plate, causing the atomizing plate to fail to work. At the same time, the glue may block the water inlet, affecting the use effect; (3) When the tank is full of water, the water pressure at the bottom of the left and right sides exceeds the working power of the atomizing plate, causing the atomizing plate to malfunction; and when the water level in the tank is lower than the atomizing plate, the atomizing plate cannot work properly, resulting in the tank always having a lot of water left but unable to spray normally, affecting the user experience.

[0003] Therefore, it is evident that the existing spray tanks still have inconveniences and defects in terms of structure, method, and use, and urgently need further improvement. How to create a new spray tank and spray-type toy train that is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, not easily broken, has good atomization effect, and a long service life has become a pressing goal for the industry.

[0006] The water-absorbing rod is vertically installed inside the water tank body, and its top end abuts against the bottom of the top atomizing plate after passing through the through hole of the annular groove, so as to draw water from the bottom of the water tank body upward into the top atomizing plate;

[0007] The top atomizing plate is used to atomize the water conveyed by the water-absorbing rod into water mist, which is then discharged from the air outlet of the top atomizing plate pressure piece.

[0008] In a further improvement, the main body of the water tank adopts an inverted right-angled trapezoidal shape with a smaller bottom and a larger top, and the bottom of the water-absorbing rod is located at the deepest part of the main body of the water tank.

[0009] As a further improvement, the bottom of the water tank body is provided with a limiting protrusion for fixing the bottom end of the water-absorbing rod, and the limiting protrusion is a non-continuous annular protrusion.

[0010] In a further improvement, a side spray nozzle is provided on the bottom side of the water tank body, a side atomizing plate is provided on the outside of the side spray nozzle, and a sealing groove is provided around the outside of the side spray nozzle. The side atomizing plate is sealed and fixed by sealant set in the sealing groove.

[0011] In a further improvement, a water baffle is provided on the inner bottom surface of the water tank body. The water baffle is located inside the side spray nozzle and is used to reduce the pressure of the water level inside the water tank body on the side atomizing plate.

[0012] As a further improvement, a side spray nozzle is provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the water tank body.

[0013] Further improvements include a one-piece injection-molded structure for the main body of the water tank.

[0014] In a further improvement, the water tank cover and the water tank body are sealed together by ultrasonic welding.

[0015] As another improvement of this utility model, this utility model also provides a spray-type toy train, wherein the locomotive part of the toy train is provided with the above-mentioned spray water tank.

[0016] With this design, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0017] This utility model spray water tank improves its overall structure to form an integrated water tank body, and by setting a sealing groove on the outside of the side spray nozzle, it can effectively overcome the water tank leakage problem, has good waterproof and drop-proof effect, and extends the service life of the water tank.

[0018] Furthermore, by installing a baffle plate inside the water tank, the water pressure on the side atomizing plate can be reduced when the water tank is full. The siphon principle formed by the gap between the baffle plate and the side wall of the water tank ensures that water can still be drawn to the side atomizing plate when the water tank is low. This allows the side atomizing plate to perform atomization normally whether the water tank is full or low, extending the atomization time and improving the user experience.

This reduces the pressure of the water level inside the water tank body 1 on the side atomizing plate 5, ensuring that the side atomizing plate 5 can maintain normal operation even when the water tank is full. Furthermore, the gap formed between the water baffle plate 13 and the side wall of the water tank body 1 also facilitates the formation of a siphon effect, so that even when the water level in the water tank is lower than the center position of the side atomizing plate 5, water can still be drawn onto the side atomizing plate 5, extending the atomization time and improving the user experience.

[0032] Furthermore, as attached Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the water tank body 1 is also provided with a limiting protrusion 14 for fixing the bottom end of the water-absorbing rod 3, and the limiting protrusion 14 is a non-continuous annular protrusion, so that there is always water at the bottom end of the water-absorbing rod 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, both the top atomizing plate 4 and the side atomizing plate 5 are existing general-purpose atomizing plates to ensure uniform atomization of droplets.

[0034] By placing the aforementioned spray tank on the engine section of the toy train mold, a realistic smoke and gas effect can be achieved from the top and sides of the toy train, resulting in excellent simulation and a great user experience.

[0035] This utility model's water tank body adopts an integrated injection molding structure, and the sealing groove on the outside of the side spray nozzle provides better waterproofing and drop protection, preventing leaks and extending the water tank's service life. Furthermore, by incorporating a water baffle plate inside the tank, it cleverly ensures that the side atomizing plates function normally whether the water level is full or low, improving the user experience and enhancing market competitiveness.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes or alterations made by those skilled in the art using the above-disclosed technical content shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
