[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11A covered water tank includes a tank body 1 made of flexible sealing material and a cover 2 that can be fitted onto the tank body 1. The tank body 1 may have a bottom wall and a peripheral wall, with the bottom periphery of the peripheral wall and the outer periphery of the bottom wall sealed together. The peripheral wall may include an air cavity and an annular sleeve surrounding the air cavity, forming an annular structure when inflated. The covered water tank also includes a snap-fit ​​mechanism, which includes a female snap 3, a male snap 4, and a locking mechanism 5. The female snap 3 is fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the tank body 1 and includes a female body 31, which has an upward-facing slot 32. The male snap 4 includes a male body 41 and two elastic snaps 42, which are symmetrically fixed to the male body 41 and inserted into the slot 32 of the female snap 3 to achieve a snap-fit ​​connection. The locking mechanism 5 includes a rotating part 51 rotatably mounted on the female body 31 and a locking mechanism fixed to the male body 41 and located between the two elastic snaps 42. The rotating part 51 has a locking part 511 located within the slot 32. Rotation of the rotating part 51 controls the locking part 511 to be in the locked or unlocked position. When in the locked position, the locking part 511 is directly above the anti-pull-out part 52. If the locking part 511 is arranged laterally, the mutual interference between the locking part 511 and the anti-pull-out part 52 restricts the male buckle 4 from being pulled out, thus putting the locking mechanism in a locked state. Of course, rotating the rotating part 51 to a non-locked position will not interfere with the anti-pull-out part. If arranged vertically to the side of the anti-pull-out part 52, the male buckle 4 can be pulled out after the latch is released. The snap-fit ​​mechanism not only achieves snap-fit ​​but also has a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism restricts the male buckle from being pulled out, achieving locking. The snap-fit ​​is not only easy to insert and remove but also achieves locking. Furthermore, the locking mechanism is directly achieved through the cooperation of the locking part of the rotating part and the anti-pull-out part of the fixed male body, without interfering with the snap-fit ​​structure. It has low precision requirements, is convenient and quick to lock, and provides a firm and stable locking.

[0034] The mother body 31 is also provided with two fastening grooves 321 located on the left and right sides of the supply slot 32 and connected to the supply slot 32; the ends of the two elastic buckles 42 of the male buckle 4 have buckling protrusions 421 protruding outwards; when the two elastic buckles 42 are inserted into the supply slot 32 and the buckling protrusions 421 of the two elastic buckles 42 are fastened in the fastening grooves 321 under the action of elastic force, automatic fastening can be achieved, and pressing the two buckling protrusions can release the fastening.

[0035] The outer wall of the female body 31 is recessed with a connecting hole leading to the slot 32. The rotating part 51 includes a driving part 512 and a connecting part 513 fixed together. The driving part 512 cooperates with the connecting hole to realize a rotating connection structure. The connecting part 513 is eccentrically provided with the aforementioned locking part 511. The connecting part 513 and the locking part 511 are located between the two elastic buckles 42 inserted into the female buckle 3. On the one hand, the eccentric setting can control the movement trajectory of the locking part, such as being horizontally located in the locked position or vertically located in the unlocked position, which is a reasonable layout. On the other hand, being located between the two elastic buckles avoids interference with the fastening. The anti-pull-out part 52 is fixed to the male body 41 by the fixed section 521, and the anti-pull-out part 52 has a protrusion that extends beyond the fixed section. The cooperation between the locking part 511 and the protrusion restricts the male buckle 4 from being pulled out. The fixed section and the locking part are staggered, which is a reasonable layout and a compact structure. Furthermore, the rear groove wall of the slot 32 is recessed with a vertical groove, and the end of the connecting part 513 is provided with a protruding pivot. The pivot is connected in the vertical groove, so the vertical groove can position the pivot and improve the axial accuracy of the rotation of the rotating part. Preferably, the upper end face of the protruding part is provided with an arc surface, and the locking part is also provided with an arc surface. The arc surface is centered on the rotation axis of the rotating part to avoid interference.

[0036] The outer end face of the drive unit 512 has a drive bar 514. Specifically, if two symmetrically arranged grooves are recessed on the outer end face of the drive unit, the area between the two grooves constitutes the drive bar 514. An operating member 53 is also provided. The operating member 53 has a mating groove. The mating groove is adapted to the drive bar 514, so that the rotating part 51 can be driven to rotate through the operating member 53, which facilitates the control of the rotation of the rotating part.

[0037] The female buckle 3 also includes a fixing part 33, which is fixed to the outer wall of the pool body 1. The female body 31 is fixed to the outer side of the fixing part 33. The female buckle is fixed to the pool body through the fixing part, which facilitates the fixing. The fixing part 33 has a rear wall 331, a ring wall 332 extending forward from the rear wall 331, and a front wall 333 extending inward from the ring wall 332. The ring wall 332 surrounds the mother body 31, and the front wall 333 and the rear wall 331 sandwich the mother body 31 from front to back. The fixing part 33 is formed outside the mother body 31 using a secondary wrapping structure. The material of the fixing part 33 is a semi-rigid material such as PVC that can be welded or bonded. For example, it can be connected to the mother body through a secondary wrapping process. The rear end face of the rear wall 331 has a flush area, and the back of the rear wall 331 is fixed to the outer wall of the pool body 1 so as to facilitate and firmly fix the rear wall and the outer peripheral wall of the pool body. The mother body 31 is provided with a connecting hole that runs through from front to back. The fixing part 33 also has a forming part 334 that connects the front wall 333 and the rear wall 331 to enhance the connection strength between the fixing part and the mother body. The back of the mother body 31 has a groove, and the rear wall 331 also has a thickened portion 335 adapted to be formed in the groove to enhance the connection strength between the fixed portion and the mother body. The rear wall has an annular protruding area extending beyond the peripheral wall, through which the connection strength with the pool body can be strengthened.

[0038] The main body 41 is provided with a through groove, and a column is fixed in the through groove to divide the through groove into two parts. The column and the through groove cooperate to form an adjusting buckle that can adjust the length of the connecting band. One end of the connecting band 411 is fixed to the cover 2. The fixing can be welding, bonding, fusion or sewing, etc., and the other end passes through the two slots in sequence to adjust the length of the connecting band 411. Once adjusted, it remains unchanged.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model patent and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
