Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Referring to the accompanying drawings, an accessory mounting structure includes a drive assembly 100, a mounting bracket 200, and a functional accessory 300. The mounting bracket 200 is connected to the drive assembly 100, and the functional accessory 300 is also connected to the mounting bracket 200. Specifically, the drive assembly 100 has at least one fixing rib 110, and the mounting bracket 200 has a fixing hook 210 that cooperates with the fixing rib 110. When the mounting bracket 200 is fixed to the drive assembly 100, the fixing hook 210 is positioned within the fixing rib 110. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 200 also has an elastic clamping part 220, which can fix the functional accessory 300 to the mounting bracket 200. Through the design of the above structure, this application allows the mounting structure to be disassembled individually for the functional accessory 300, the mounting bracket 200, and the drive assembly 100; during installation, the drive assembly 100, the mounting bracket 200, and the functional accessory 300 can also be installed individually.

[0032] Furthermore, the elastic clamping part 220 includes a first claw 221 and a second claw 222 disposed at both ends of the fixing frame 200, forming a fixing cavity 223 between the first claw 221 and the second claw 222, and the functional accessory 300 is disposed within the fixing cavity 223. More specifically, the elastic clamping part 220 and the fixing frame 200 are integrally molded, and the upper ends of the first claw 221 and the second claw 222 are provided with fastening portions that bend toward the fixing cavity 223.

[0033] Furthermore, in the specific embodiments provided in this application, the first claws 221 share a common main body piece, and two first claws 221 extend from the upper end of the main body piece; the second claws 222 each have their own main body piece, and the number of second claws 222 is also two, and they are arranged at intervals. In other embodiments, the arrangement and number of the first and second claws are not specifically limited.

[0034] Furthermore, a locking mechanism is provided between the drive assembly 100 and the fixing frame 200 in this application. This locking mechanism ensures that the fixing hook 210 maintains a stable state when it cooperates with the fixing rib 110. Specifically, the locking mechanism includes a locking displacement point and an unlocking displacement point. When the fixing hook 210 and the fixing rib 110 cooperate, switching the locking mechanism to the locking displacement point prevents the fixing hook 210 from disengaging from the fixing rib 110. When the fixing hook 210 and the fixing rib 110 cooperate, switching the locking mechanism to the unlocking displacement point allows the fixing hook 210 to be detached from the fixing rib 110.

[0035] In a specific embodiment of the locking mechanism provided in this application, the locking mechanism includes a limiting part 120 and a limiting groove 240. The limiting part 120 is disposed on the drive assembly 100, and the limiting part 120 includes a first limiting cavity 121 and a second limiting cavity 122. The limiting groove 230 is disposed on the fixing frame 200, and the limiting groove 230 is connected to the limiting slider 240. When the fixed hook 210 and the fixed rib 110 are engaged, the locking mechanism is switched to the locking displacement point, and the limiting slider 240 is moved so that the limiting slider 240 is placed in the first limiting cavity 121, and the fixed hook 210 and the fixed rib 110 cannot be disengaged, which is the locked state; when the fixed hook 210 and the fixed rib 110 are engaged, the locking mechanism is switched to the unlocking displacement point, and the limiting slider 240 is moved so that the limiting slider 240 is placed in the second limiting cavity 122, and the fixed hook 210 and the fixed rib 110 are in the unlocked state where they can be detached.

[0036] Furthermore, the limiting slider 240 is also provided with an elastic buckle 250, the limiting slide groove 230 is provided with a limiting slide 260, the limiting slide 260 is provided with a first stop 261 and a second stop 262, and the elastic buckle 250 is provided with an abutting part 251 that can abut and cooperate with the first stop 261 or the second stop 262; when the abutting part 251 cooperates with the first stop 261, the limiting slider 240 is placed in the first limiting cavity 121; when the abutting part 251 cooperates with the second stop 262, the limiting slider 240 is placed in the second limiting cavity 122.

[0037] More specifically, a first stop 261 and a second stop 262 are provided at both ends of the limiting slide 260. In the specific embodiment given in this application, the elastic buckle 250 is U-shaped, and the abutment portion 251 is provided at both ends of the upper opening of the elastic buckle 250. The abutment portion 251 has an outwardly expanding protruding section. The two ends of the first stop 261 are arc-shaped surfaces, and one end of the second stop 262 is a straight plane. The arc-shaped surface design facilitates the abutment portion 251 to exert an inward force on the elastic buckle 250 during movement and when it cooperates with the elastic buckle, causing the elastic buckle 250 to contract and thus pass over the first stop 261 into the second limiting cavity 122. The straight plane design is used to limit the movement of the limiting slider 240 within the predetermined stroke of the limiting slide 260.

[0038] Furthermore, a notch 111 is provided on one side of the fixing rib 110. When the fixing hook 210 is moved and placed under the notch 111, the fixing frame 200 is fixed to the drive assembly 100. More specifically, when the fixing hook 210 is fixed in conjunction with the notch 111, the limiting slider 240 is moved to enter the first limiting cavity 121. At this time, the fixing hook 210 cannot be dislodged from the notch 111. Therefore, the longitudinal end of the fixing frame 200 is limited by the notch 111 of the drive assembly 100, and the transverse end is fixed by the limiting part 120 of the drive assembly 100, thereby forming a stable fixed state between the fixing frame 200 and the drive assembly 100.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, the functional component 300 is an air pump drive control box. Of course, in other embodiments, the functional component 300 can also be a receiving module, a motor assembly, a battery box, etc. In other embodiments, different functional components 300 can also be overlapped and fixed in the fixed cavity 223, and fixed by the elastic clamping part 220.

[0040] This application also provides a concealed water tank using the above-described installation structure. The concealed water tank has a water tank window 410, and the installation structure 1 is disposed inside the water tank at a position corresponding to the water tank window 410. The user can sequentially disassemble the functional accessory 300, the fixing bracket 200, and the drive assembly 100, and then sequentially remove the functional accessory 300, the fixing bracket 200, and the drive assembly 100 from the water tank window 410.

[0041] This application improves the above-mentioned installation structure 1 in a traditional concealed water tank by detachably fixing the drive component 100, the fixing bracket 200, and the functional accessories 300 at the water tank window 410 together. During installation, they are fixed at the water tank window 410 to realize their functions. During disassembly, each component can be quickly removed in sequence, which not only enhances the compactness of the structure, but also avoids the use of specific tools and reduces the difficulty of inspection and maintenance.

[0042] In addition, the water tank 400 of this application is also equipped with a panel with buttons, a drain valve 422 is provided inside the water tank 400, a drain outlet 421 is provided at the lower end of the water tank, and a linkage lifting rod assembly 130 that cooperates with the drain valve is provided on the drive assembly 100. The linkage lifting rod assembly 130 is provided with a screw joint 131 that realizes linkage control with the buttons.

[0043] This application provides an installation structure 1 through the design of the above structure, in which the fixing bracket 200, the drive assembly 100 and the functional accessories 300 cooperate with each other. No special installation tools are required. The fixing bracket 200 and the functional accessories 300, as well as the locking structure on the fixing bracket 200, can be manually opened / closed, and the various components at the water tank window 410 position can be quickly removed / installed in sequence.
