[0006] As an optimization, the input shaft of the gearbox is provided with a drive wheel, and at least one meshing transmission gear is provided between the drive wheel and the output gear of the gearbox.
[0007] As an optimization, the hinge seat is located on both sides of the water baffle, and the hinge seat is fixed to the upper end face of the water tank connecting plate.
[0008] As an optimization, after the water tank connecting plate is fixed to the water tank, the opening of the water baffle faces away from the opening of the water tank.
[0009] As an optimization, the gearbox is a reduction gearbox.
[0010] In use, the water tank connecting plate is fixedly connected to the edge of the water tank, the upper cover connecting plate is fixedly connected to the upper cover, and the upper surface of the upper cover connecting plate is parallel to the surface of the upper cover. The axis of the hinge shaft is parallel to the edge where the upper cover and the water tank are hinged.
[0011] The present invention has the following advantages: The present invention has a simple structure, which can facilitate the installation and drive of the top cover, keep most of the servo gearbox outside the water tank, and prevent the water inside the water tank from affecting the drive components to the greatest extent.

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Example
[0018] Now combined Figure 1-4 A top cover drive assembly is described, including a water tank connecting plate 1 for connecting to a water tank and a top cover connecting plate 2 for connecting to a top cover. The water tank connecting plate 1 is provided with a servo motor 3 and a gearbox 4. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 is connected to the input shaft of the gearbox 4.
[0019] A hinge shaft 5 is fixed on the upper cover connecting plate 2, and a driven gear 6 is coaxially fixed on the hinge shaft 5; the output gear of the gearbox 4 meshes with the driven gear 6; the water tank connecting plate 1 is provided with hinge seats 7 at both ends of the hinge shaft 5, which are rotatably engaged with the hinge shaft 5; and a water baffle 8 is provided on the water tank connecting plate 1.
[0020] A drive wheel is provided on the input shaft of the gearbox 4, and two meshing transmission gears are provided between the drive wheel and the output gear of the gearbox 4. This is used to increase the distance between the hinge shaft 5 and the output shaft of the servo motor 3, so that the servo motor 3 can be installed outside the water tank.
[0021] The hinge seat 7 is located on both sides of the water baffle 8, and the hinge seat 7 is fixed to the upper end face of the water tank connecting plate 1.
[0022] After the water tank connecting plate 1 is fixed to the water tank, the opening of the water baffle 8 faces away from the opening of the water tank.
[0023] The gearbox 4 is a reduction gearbox.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, during use, the water tank connecting plate 1 is fixedly connected to the edge of the water tank, the upper cover connecting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the upper cover, and the upper surface of the upper cover connecting plate 2 is parallel to the surface of the upper cover. The axis of the hinge shaft 5 is parallel to the edge where the upper cover and the water tank are hinged. The water baffle 8 and the driven gear 6 are located at the upper part of the end edge of the water tank, and the servo motor 3 is located at the lower part of the end edge of the water tank, outside the water tank.
[0025] The gearbox 4 can be driven simply by controlling the servo motor 3. Since the output gear of the gearbox 4 meshes with the driven gear 6, it can drive the hinge shaft 5 fixed to the upper cover connecting plate 2, thereby driving the upper cover to open and close.
[0026] Since the water tank connecting plate 1 is fixed to the water tank, the water baffle 8 partially covers the driven gear 6 and its opening faces away from the water tank opening. Therefore, it can minimize the impact of the rinsing water inside the water tank on the drive component. This utility model is suitable for use in the water tank of a teacup washing machine.
