[0062] By arranging the turnover cover 400 in the containing cavity 310 of the salt tank cover 300, the lower end of the turnover cover 400 is rotationally connected with the salt tank cover 300, one of the upper end of the turnover cover 400 and the salt tank cover 300 is provided with a sliding piece 510, and the other is provided with a sliding rail 520, the sliding piece 510 can slide along the sliding rail 520, so that the salt adding opening 411 can be turned over to the outside of the salt tank cover 300. The sliding piece 510 and the sliding rail 520 play a role in guiding the rotation direction of the turnover cover 400, when the sliding piece 510 slides along the sliding rail 520, the salt adding opening 411 at the upper end of the turnover cover 400 can rotate with the lower end of the turnover cover 400 as the center, so that the salt adding opening 411 can be turned over to the outside of the salt tank cover 300, the user only needs to turn the turnover cover 400 to add salt, and the turnover cover 400 is located at the upper end of the salt tank 111, which is more convenient for the user to add salt.

[0063] In this embodiment, the upper end of the turnover cover 400 is provided with the sliding piece 510, and the salt tank cover 300 is provided with the sliding rail 520. In other embodiments, the sliding piece 510 can also be arranged on the salt tank cover 300, and the sliding rail 520 is arranged at the upper end of the turnover cover 400.

[0064] The lower end of the turnover cover 400 and one of the salt tank cover 300 are provided with a protruding part 610, and the other is provided with a connecting hole 620, the protruding part 610 is rotationally connected with the connecting hole 620, so that the turnover cover 400 can rotate relative to the salt tank cover 300, and the salt adding opening 411 can be turned over to the outside of the salt tank cover 300.

[0065] The sliding rail 520 is an arc-shaped groove 521 with the protruding part 610 as the center, the sliding piece 510 can slide along the arc-shaped groove 521, and the arc-shaped groove 521 has the protruding part 610 as the center, when the sliding piece 510 slides along the arc-shaped groove 521, the turnover cover 400 can rotate with the protruding part 610 as the center, so that the turnover cover 400 rotates relative to the salt tank cover 300.

[0066] The lower end of the salt tank cover 300 is provided with a plurality of clamping portions 320, and the upper end of the salt tank body 200 is provided with a plurality of clamping portions 210 matched with the clamping portions 320, so that the salt tank cover 300 can be detachably connected with the salt tank body 200, and the installation and maintenance are more convenient.

[0067] In the embodiment, the clamping portions 320 are buckles 321, and the clamping portions 210 are through holes 211, and the buckles 321 are clamped in the through holes 211 to realize the detachable connection of the salt tank cover 300 and the salt tank body 200. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art can also select other specific structures of the clamping portions 320 and the clamping portions 210.

[0068] The clamping portions 210 and the clamping portions 320 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the salt tank cover 300.

[0069] Embodiment 2

[0070] As shown in Figure 7 The embodiment provides a pure soft drink water machine 100, which comprises a soft water module 110, a pure water module and a direct drinking module 120, and the soft water module 110 comprises a salt tank 111.

[0071] Most of the structures of the soft water module 110 of the embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, and the difference lies in that:

[0072] The sliding rail 520 is an arc-shaped hole 522 with the protruding portion 610 as the center, and the arc-shaped hole 522 penetrates through the two side walls 420 of the flip cover 400 in the thickness direction. The sliding rail 520 can also be an arc-shaped hole 522, the sliding piece 510 can slide along the arc-shaped hole 522, and the arc-shaped hole 522 has the protruding portion 610 as the center, so that when the sliding piece 510 slides along the arc-shaped hole 522, the flip cover 400 can rotate with the protruding portion 610 as the center. By penetrating the arc-shaped hole 522 through the two side walls 420 of the flip cover 400 in the thickness direction, the sliding of the sliding piece 510 in the arc-shaped hole 522 is more stable, and the rotation of the flip cover 400 relative to the salt tank cover 300 is more stable and smooth. In addition, by setting the sliding rail 520 as the arc-shaped hole 522, compared with setting the sliding rail 520 as the arc-shaped groove 521, the depth of the sliding piece 510 does not need to match the groove depth, and the assembly precision requirement is reduced. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art can also select other specific structures of the sliding rail 520 and the sliding piece 510.
