Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electrical equipment technology, and in particular to a flipping mechanism and electrical equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, a flipping mechanism is often used to flip the moving parts in the equipment, thereby enabling functions such as opening and closing of openings or tilting of items.
[0003] To limit the movement of the moving parts, a groove is usually provided on one of the moving and fixed parts of the flipping mechanism, and a limiting member that cooperates with the groove is provided on the other. When the moving part flips, relative sliding can occur between the limiting member and the groove, which can realize the flipping guide of the moving part by the fixed part.
[0004] However, because the moving parts are easily affected by external factors or their own gravity during or after the flipping process, they may shake or uncontrollably reset, making it impossible to keep the moving parts in a stable flipping state, resulting in low stability and reliability of the flipping mechanism.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0048] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.
[0049] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in the text will be interpreted accordingly.
[0050] To address the technical problem that existing flipping mechanisms are prone to shaking or uncontrollable resetting when subjected to external factors or their own gravity, resulting in low stability and reliability, this application provides a flipping mechanism and electrical device. The flipping mechanism has a limiting protrusion 12 in its flipping groove. When the limiting protrusion 12 contacts the limiting member, it can achieve relative sliding limitation between the limiting member and the flipping groove, ensuring that the flipping component 1 is in a stable flipping state, thereby preventing the flipping component 1 from flipping and resetting relative to the fixed component 2, and improving the stability and reliability of the flipping mechanism.
[0051] Please see Figures 1 to 14 The first aspect of this application provides a flipping mechanism, including a flipping component 1 and a fixing component 2. The flipping component 1 is provided with a first mating part 11 for movably connecting with the fixing component 2, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. The flipping component 1 can be flipped relative to the fixed component 2, so that the flipping component 1 has the following characteristics: Figure 1 The flipped state shown and as Figure 13 , Figure 14 The returned position is shown.
[0052] The fixed component 2 is provided with a second mating part 21. One of the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 21 is a flipping slide groove, and the other is a limiting member that slides in contact with the flipping slide groove. When the flipping component 1 flips relative to the fixed component 2, the limiting member and the flipping slide groove can slide relative to each other, so that the mating position between the limiting member and the flipping slide groove moves from the starting end 111 to the ending end 112, or from the ending end 112 to the starting end 111. This can guide the flipping component 1 and limit the flipping stroke of the relative movement between the flipping component 1 and the fixed component 2, so that the flipping component 1 flips along a preset trajectory, thereby improving the operational reliability of the flipping component 1. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 9 As shown.
[0053] The inside of the flipping slide is provided with a limiting protrusion 12, which is used to realize the relative sliding limit between the limiting member and the flipping slide. Arbitrary relative sliding cannot occur between the limiting member and the flipping slide. This can prevent the limiting member from flipping and resetting under the influence of external factors or its own gravity, ensuring that the flipping component 1 is in a stable flipping state, and improving the flipping stability and reliability of the flipping mechanism.
[0054] It should be noted that the limiting protrusion 12 is used to form a small passageway inside the tilting groove. This passageway forms an interference fit with the outer surface of the limiting member, such as... Figure 2 As shown; when the user uses a large amount of force to flip the flipping component 1, the flipping slide and the limiting member slide relative to each other, allowing the limiting member to pass through the passage.
[0055] When the limiting protrusion 12 is only provided on one side of the tilting slide, an opening is formed between the limiting protrusion 12 and the inner wall of the tilting slide opposite it. When two limiting protrusions 12 are oppositely provided on both sides of the tilting slide, an opening is formed between the two oppositely provided limiting protrusions 12, such as... Figures 5 to 7 As shown; as long as the size of the passage can form an interference fit with the limiting member, the purpose of this application can be achieved.
[0056] In some embodiments of this application, when the first mating part 11 is a flipping groove provided on the flipping assembly 1, the second mating part 21 is a limiting member provided on the fixing assembly 2. In this case, the limiting member is fixed, while the flipping groove can move relative to the limiting member, thereby achieving a change in the relative position between the limiting member and the flipping groove. Conversely, when the first mating part 11 is a limiting member provided on the flipping assembly 1, the second mating part 21 is a flipping groove provided on the fixing assembly 2. In this case, the flipping groove is fixed, while the limiting member can slide inside the flipping groove, thereby achieving a change in the relative position between the limiting member and the flipping groove. Both methods achieve the purpose of this application. In the following embodiments of this application, the first mating part 11 is a flipping groove provided on the flipping assembly 1, and the second mating part 21 is a limiting member provided on the fixing assembly 2.
[0057] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The flipping component 1 has a first mating part 11 on both sides, and the fixing component 2 has a second mating part 21 that corresponds to the first mating part 11. This allows for the movable connection between the two sides of the flipping component 1 and the fixing component 2, so that the forces on both sides of the flipping component 1 are balanced and the movement stability of the flipping component 1 can be improved.
[0058] It should be noted that the distance between the first mating part 11 and the flipping axis of the flipping component 1 can be set according to the flipping amplitude requirement of the flipping component 1. When the size of the flipping groove corresponding to the first mating part 11 is fixed and the position of the flipping axis is fixed, the greater the distance between the first mating part 11 and the flipping axis, the smaller the flipping amplitude of the flipping component 1.
[0059] In some preferred embodiments of this application, when the return state of the flipping component 1 is... Figure 13 , Figure 14 In the upright position shown, by Figure 1 and Figure 13 It is known that the flipping axis of the flipping component 1 is located at the bottom of the flipping component 1. At this time, the first mating part 11 is set at the middle position on both sides of the flipping component 1. This can ensure that the flipping component 1 has a large flipping range, and can also apply force to the middle part of the flipping component 1 through the limiting member. This is conducive to realizing the fixing effect of the limiting member in the fixing component 2 on the flipping component 1.
[0060] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9The limiting protrusion 12 is set on the flipping slide on one side of the flipping component 1. While ensuring the limiting function of the limiting protrusion 12 on the flipping component 1, it can reduce the resistance of the user to flipping the flipping component 1, making the user's operation more effortless.
[0061] As a specific embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The limiting protrusion 12 is provided in the flipping slide on the left side of the flipping component 1, while the limiting protrusion 12 is not provided in the flipping slide on the right side of the flipping component 1. When the flipping component 1 is in the tilted flipping state, it mainly cooperates with the limiting member in the fixing component 2 through the limiting protrusion 12 in the left flipping slide, so as to prevent the flipping slide on the left side of the flipping component 1 and the limiting member on the left side of the fixing component 2 from sliding relative to each other in the flipping state, thereby preventing the flipping component 1 from shaking in the tilted state.
[0062] When the user flips the rotating component 1 to reset it, the rotating component 1 only needs to overcome the force of the left limiting member on the limiting protrusion 12, which can reduce the resistance of the user flipping the rotating component 1 and improve the user's ease of operation.
[0063] When the left side of the flipping component 1 has a limiting protrusion 12 in the flipping groove, the amount of engagement (or contact area) between the left side of the flipping component 1 and the left side limiting member of the fixing component 2 is less than the amount of engagement between the right side of the flipping component 1 and the right side limiting member of the fixing component 2. This ensures that the flipping component 1 can move to the right when it returns to its original position, making it easier for the left limiting member to pass over the limiting protrusion 12 in the left flipping groove, so as to achieve the smooth return of the flipping component 1.
[0064] In some other embodiments of this application, the limiting protrusions 12 are disposed on the flipping grooves on both sides of the flipping component 1, which can make the forces on both sides of the flipping component 1 balanced, and improve the uniformity of force and the smoothness of movement of the flipping component 1 during the flipping process.
[0065] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The limiting protrusion 12 is located at the end 112 of the flipping slide to maintain the flipping state of the flipping component 1. When the flipping component 1 moves relative to the fixed component 2, and the limiting member passes the limiting protrusion 12 to reach the end 112 of the flipping slide, the flipping component 1 is in a fully flipped state. The flipping state is stably maintained by the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 12 and the limiting member. The user can operate the flipping component 1 in the flipped state.
[0066] It should be noted that a limiting space for accommodating the limiting member is formed between the limiting protrusion 12 and the inner wall surface of the end 112 of the flipping slide. The limiting member can be limited on both sides by the limiting protrusion 12 and the inner wall surface of the end 112 of the flipping slide, thereby ensuring a stable fit between the limiting member and the end 112 of the flipping slide, and thus keeping the flipping assembly 1 in the flipped state. Figure 2 As shown.
[0067] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The surface of the limiting protrusion 12 is provided with a guide curved surface 121, which can reduce the difficulty for the limiting member to pass over the limiting protrusion 12. When the user flips the flipping component 1 to reach the flipping state or the return state, only a little more force is needed to make the limiting member pass through the passage formed by the limiting protrusion 12. While ensuring the limiting effect of the limiting protrusion 12 on the limiting member, the flipping difficulty of the flipping mechanism is reduced.
[0068] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The guide surface 121 is located on the side of the limiting protrusion 12 facing the starting end 111 of the tilting groove. When the limiting member is located at the starting end 111 of the tilting groove, the tilting assembly 1 is in the returned position, as shown below. Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown; when the limiting member is located at the end 112 of the flipping slide, the flipping assembly 1 is in the flipping state, as shown. Figure 1 As shown. The guide surface 121 is located on the side of the limiting protrusion 12 facing the starting end 111 of the flipping slide, which can reduce the resistance of the flipping component 1 from the return state to the flipping state, making the user's flipping operation smoother and more natural.
[0069] An abutment portion 122 is provided on one side of the limiting protrusion 12 facing the end 112 of the flipping slide. The abutment portion 122 includes a sharp corner structure for abutting against the limiting member, which can improve the limiting effect of the limiting protrusion 12 on the limiting member, increase the difficulty for the limiting member to pass over the limiting protrusion 12 from the end 112 of the flipping slide, and improve the reliability of maintaining the flipping state stably through the limiting protrusion 12.
[0070] In some other embodiments of this application, guide surfaces 121 are provided on both sides of the limiting protrusion 12, which can improve the smoothness of the forward flipping and reverse return of the flipping component 1 and improve the ease of operation of the flipping component 1.
[0071] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting protrusion 12 and the flipping groove are an integral structure, such as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, it can be manufactured using an integrated molding process, which helps to reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the flip component 1.
[0072] In some other embodiments of this application, the limiting protrusion 12 is made of an elastic material. When the user applies external force to the flipping assembly 1, the limiting member passes through the opening formed by the limiting protrusion 12. Under the pressure of the limiting member, the limiting protrusion 12 can undergo elastic deformation, causing the limiting member to move from one side of the limiting protrusion 12 to the other side. After the limiting member passes through, the limiting protrusion 12 returns to its original shape under the action of elasticity, which can play a blocking and limiting role for the limiting member.
[0073] At the same time, since the limiting protrusion 12 is made of elastic material, it can reduce the noise generated when the limiting part collides and rubs with the limiting protrusion 12, and can also reduce the wear generated by the limiting part and the limiting protrusion 12 during the flipping process.
[0074] It should be noted that when the limiting protrusion 12 is made of elastic materials such as rubber, the connection between the limiting protrusion 12 and the flipping slide can be achieved through gluing or embedding processes.
[0075] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The side wall of the flipping chute (i.e. the wall on both sides of the sliding direction of the limiting member) is an inclined plane or arc surface. The limiting member can move along the inclined plane or arc surface, thereby achieving flipping guidance for the limiting member and the flipping assembly 1 through the flipping chute, so that the flipping assembly 1 moves along the preset flipping trajectory.
[0076] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The tilting chute is a slanted, strip-shaped hole. At this time, the sidewall of the tilting chute is an slanted plane. When the tilting assembly 1 is in its vertical position, the starting end 111 of the tilting chute is higher than the ending end 112. When the tilting assembly 1 moves along... Figure 1 When the left side of the slide is flipped, the flipping slide moves relative to the limiting member, so that the mating position between the limiting member and the flipping slide changes from the starting end 111 of the flipping slide to the ending end 112 of the flipping slide. At this time, the flipping assembly 1 can be connected to the fixing assembly 2 through the connecting rod assembly 3, so that the flipping assembly 1 does not rotate around a fixed rotation axis, so that the flipping trajectory of the flipping assembly 1 matches the shape of the flipping slide (straight slide).
[0077] In other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6The flipping slide is an inclined arc-shaped hole. At this time, the side wall of the flipping slide is an arc-shaped surface, and the starting end 111 of the flipping slide is higher than the ending end 112. When the flipping component 1 and the fixing component 2 are directly hinged and rotated around the hinge axis, the radius of the arc-shaped surface is the distance from the side wall of the flipping slide to the flipping axis (i.e., the hinge axis).
[0078] In other embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 7 The flipping slide is an elliptical hole with an inclined setting. At this time, the side wall of the flipping slide is also an arc surface, and the starting end 111 of the flipping slide is higher than the ending end 112. Since the middle size of the flipping slide is larger, the limiting part can have a large movement margin in the middle of the flipping slide, which can avoid the flipping slide and the limiting part from getting stuck during the sliding process.
[0079] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 The flipping mechanism also includes a linkage assembly 3, which is connected to both the flipping component 1 and the fixed component 2. This linkage assembly 3 allows the flipping component 1 to have a certain degree of rotational or translational freedom when subjected to force, thus enabling the force to be transmitted and dispersed more smoothly through the linkage assembly 3, preventing stress concentration and damage at the connection between the flipping component 1 and the fixed component 2. Simultaneously, the structural design of the linkage assembly 3 allows for the design of the flipping trajectory of the flipping component 1, ensuring that the flipping trajectory is not limited to rotation around a fixed flipping axis.
[0080] It should be noted that the structure of the linkage assembly 3 can be set according to the flipping trajectory of the flipping assembly 1. It can be a single linkage mechanism, a double linkage mechanism or a multi-link mechanism. As long as the flipping assembly 1 and the fixed assembly 2 can flip relative to each other, and the limiting member can move smoothly relative to the flipping slide, the purpose of this application can be achieved.
[0081] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The connecting rod assembly 3 includes a connecting rod body 31, a first hinge shaft 32, and a second hinge shaft 33. The first hinge shaft 32 and the second hinge shaft 33 are respectively disposed at both ends of the connecting rod body 31. The first hinge shaft 32 is used to connect to the first hinge portion 137 on the flipping assembly 1, allowing relative rotation between the flipping assembly 1 and the connecting rod body 31. The second hinge shaft 33 is used to connect to the second hinge portion 23 on the fixing assembly 2, allowing relative rotation between the connecting rod body 31 and the fixing assembly 2.
[0082] When the flip component 1 is in Figure 13 and Figure 14In the returned position shown, the linkage body 31 is in a horizontal state; if the user drives the flip component 1 to flip relative to the fixed component 2, the flip component 1 drives the linkage body 31 to move, and when the flip component 1 flips to the position shown... Figure 1 and Figure 10 When in the flipped state shown, the link body 31 is in Figure 11 The tilted state shown can be used to achieve a flexible connection between the flipping component 1 and the fixing component 2.
[0083] It should be noted that the above-mentioned flipping mechanism can be applied to any device that needs to achieve component flipping and maintain the flipped state. Through the cooperation of the flipping slide and the limiting member, the flipping mechanism can be flipped and guided. Through the limiting protrusion 12 in the flipping slide, the limiting member can be limited, thereby achieving stable maintenance of the flipping component 1 in the flipped state.
[0084] In common electrical appliances (such as fans and floor scrubbers), water tanks are often used to store water, providing a continuous supply of water during operation. The water tank is typically located at the bottom of the appliance, and the connection between the tank and the appliance casing is usually a pull-out type. Users must bend over to pull the tank out and place it on the ground, then slide it back into the casing and forcefully push the full tank into place. This cumbersome process, coupled with the considerable weight of the tank after filling, makes it difficult to place and reposition, negatively impacting the user experience.
[0085] To address the aforementioned problems, a second aspect of this application provides an electrical device including the flipping mechanism described in the above embodiments. The flipping assembly 1 includes a housing 13, which can be used to store water and provide a water source for the normal operation of the electrical device. A first mating part 11 is disposed on the housing 13; the fixing assembly 2 includes a housing 22, and a second mating part 21 is disposed on the housing 22. Through the cooperation of the first mating part 11 and the second mating part 21, the housing 13 can be flipped relative to the housing 22. Through the abutment of the limiting protrusion 12 and the limiting member, the limiting member can be stably positioned at the end 112 of the flipping groove, so that the housing 13 can be stably maintained in the flipped state; thereby facilitating the addition of water to the housing 13 when it is in the flipped state.
[0086] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 9Both sides of the housing 22 have perforated structures. This prevents interference between the housing 22 and the flipped-over box 13, while also allowing the water inlet on the top of the box 13 to extend from the perforated structure on one side (e.g., the front) of the housing 22 after flipping, facilitating water filling to the box 13. During water filling, simply placing the water inlet of the box 13 below a faucet or other water outlet is sufficient; no moving of the box 13 is required. This significantly reduces the user's workload, improves the ease of use of the electrical equipment, and meets the user's needs for stability and ease of use.
[0087] After water is added to the tank 13, the user flips the tank 13 to return it to its original position. Part of the tank 13 is embedded in the housing 22, such as... Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, a compact connection can be achieved between the housing 13 and the shell 22, which helps to reduce the space occupied by electrical equipment.
[0088] It should be noted that in this application, the first mating part 11 (i.e., the tilting slide) is disposed on both sides of the tank body 13, and the tilting slide is inclined, which can better adapt to the natural stroke of the user tilting the tank body 13 when adding water, and improve the convenience of the tilting operation. The height position of the first mating part 11 on the tank body 13 can be determined according to the height of the water tank and the size of the water inlet required by the user.
[0089] As a specific embodiment of this application, when the first mating part 11 is located at the lower middle position of the box body 13, the rotation range of the box body 13 can be moderate, and the water inlet at the top of the box body 13 can extend completely from the hollow structure on the front side of the shell 22, so that the top of the box body 13 can have a larger water filling space.
[0090] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 9 The limiting members on both sides of the housing 22 are columnar structures that can cooperate with the flipping grooves on both sides of the box 13. This not only achieves a stable movable connection between the box 13 and the housing 22, but also ensures the stability of the box 13 during the flipping process and the guiding nature of the housing 22 on the box 13.
[0091] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 5 to 7 The limiting protrusion 12 is provided with a guide surface 121, which can reduce the resistance when the user flips the water tank, making the operation process easier for the user. The guide surface 121 can be set on one or both sides of the limiting protrusion 12 as needed, thereby reducing the difficulty for the user to flip the water tank to add water or return the water tank to its original position.
[0092] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The bottom of the box 13 is provided with a first clearance part 131, which can prevent the box 13 from interfering with the bottom side wall of the shell 22 when it is flipped; the top of the box 13 is provided with a second clearance part 132, which can prevent the box 13 from interfering with the top of the shell 22 when it is flipped; thereby preventing the box 13 from interfering with the shell 22 during the flipping process, which helps to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the flipping of the box 13 and prevents the box 13 from getting stuck inside the shell 22.
[0093] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 13 The box body 13 is provided with a handle 133, which makes it easy for the user to lift the box body 13 and apply external force to the box body 13, so that the limiting member passes over the limiting protrusion 12 under the action of external force, thereby realizing the flipping of the box body 13 relative to the shell 22.
[0094] Please refer to some preferred embodiments of this application. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Figure 13 The handle 133 is located on the upper part of the box 13, which can reduce the degree of bending over when the user lifts the box 13, thus improving the user experience.
[0095] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The interior of the tank 13 has a storage cavity 134 for storing water. The side wall of the tank 13 is provided with an observation window 135 and / or a storage level indicator. Users can observe the water level inside the tank 13 through the observation window 135 and / or the storage level indicator so that users can replenish water in a timely manner.
[0096] It should be noted that the observation window 135 is equipped with a transparent component (such as glass, acrylic sheet, etc.), which allows the user to observe the internal condition of the box 13 while ensuring the box 13 is sealed. The storage level indicator can be a liquid level gauge or a water level float, etc. The observation window 135 and the storage level indicator can be selected separately, or the storage level indicator can be directly set on the observation window 135, both of which can achieve the purpose of this application.
[0097] In the above embodiment, in order to provide bottom support for the housing 13 so that the housing 13 can be maintained in a stable flipped state, the housing 22 also has a support portion 24, which can support the bottom of the housing 13, such as... Figure 11 As shown. However, when the contact area between the bottom of the tank 13 and the support 24 is small, if the water inside the tank 13 shakes significantly, the bottom of the tilted tank 13 is prone to slipping off the support 24, making it impossible for the tank 13 to maintain a stable tilted state for adding water.
[0098] To address the aforementioned issues, please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 12 The bottom of the box 13 is provided with a third mating part 136. The third mating part 136 has a mating surface for abutting against the shell 22. It can be used to increase the contact area between the bottom of the box 13 and the shell 22, enhance the supporting role of the support part 24 on the bottom of the box 13, and ensure the stability of the box 13 when it is in a tilted and flipped state.
[0099] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 The shapes of the housing 13 and the shell 22 can be designed according to the appearance of the electrical equipment. As long as the relative flipping between the housing 13 and the shell 22 can be achieved, the purpose of this application can be achieved.
[0100] In some embodiments of this application, the electrical equipment is a cooling device such as a circulating air cooler or a tower fan. Water in the housing 13 can lower the air temperature and / or increase the air humidity. The water in the housing 13 is drawn into the fan and dispersed into the air through the fan's evaporation function. The evaporation of moisture in the air absorbs heat, thereby lowering the indoor temperature and allowing the circulating air cooler or tower fan to provide cool air. Simultaneously, the evaporation of moisture can increase indoor humidity, thereby improving air quality. This ensures that the cool air blown from the air outlet assembly 4 has suitable temperature and humidity, making the indoor environment more comfortable and pleasant.
[0101] In the above embodiment, the tank 13 is flipped relative to the shell 22, which allows electrical devices such as fans to have a flip-type water tank. During water filling, there is no need to pull out the water tank (i.e., tank 13), avoiding the cumbersome process of moving the water tank and improving the convenience of water filling. This reduces the labor intensity for users during water filling and enhances the user experience.
[0102] In some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the electrical device is also provided with a base 5, which can be used to fix the electrical device. When the bottom of the base 5 is provided with casters, the electrical device can also be moved to any space for use as needed.
[0103] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 13 is also provided with a snap-fit part 138, which can realize the snap-fit connection between the housing 13 and the shell 22 when the housing 13 is flipped to the return state. This can prevent the housing 13 from flipping over arbitrarily when it is not subjected to external force (such as being lifted and flipped by the user), thereby ensuring the normal use of the electrical equipment in the return state.
[0104] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 14The flipping process of the housing 13 of the aforementioned electrical equipment is as follows:
[0105] Step 1: Observe the water level inside the tank 13 through the observation window 135 and / or the storage level indicator. If the water level is low, then... Figure 1 Pull the handle 133 on the left side to flip the box 13 to the left relative to the shell 22;
[0106] Step 2: During the movement of the flipping slide relative to the limiting member, the limiting member smoothly passes over the limiting protrusion 12 through the guide surface 121 of the limiting protrusion 12, so that the limiting member is located in the limiting space formed by the limiting protrusion 12 and the end 112 of the flipping slide. The limiting member is slidably limited by the abutting part 122 of the limiting protrusion 12 and the inner side wall of the end 112 of the flipping slide, so that the box 13 is in a stable flipping state.
[0107] Step 3: Add water into the storage chamber 134 through the inclined water inlet of the box 13 until the water level reaches the preset value;
[0108] Step Four: To Figure 1 Push the right-side handle 133, and under the action of external force, the limiting member passes through the opening formed by the limiting protrusion 12, causing the box 13 to flip from the flipped state to the return state, and the locking part 138 of the box 13 realizes the locking connection between the box 13 and the shell 22.
