[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment, specifically to a desktop water-cooled fan water tank disassembly and assembly structure. Background Technology

[0002] Small desktop water-cooled fans are popular among office workers and students due to their compact size. Desktop water-cooled fans with a split-type water tank have the water tank located at the bottom of the main unit, connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. When cleaning the water tank, simply open the snap-fit, remove the main unit from the tank, and the tank can be cleaned independently – very convenient. However, when using the fan again after cleaning, the main unit must be placed back on the tank, and the snap-fit ​​must be manually reattached to reconnect the main unit to the tank. The entire process involves five steps: opening the snap-fit, removing the main unit, cleaning the water tank, placing the main unit back, and manually reattaching the snap-fit. This multi-step process is inconvenient and provides a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0037] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides a desktop water-cooled fan water tank disassembly and assembly structure, which consists of a spring clip 1. The spring clip 1 is installed at the lower opening 2a of the water-cooled fan body 2. The spring clip 1 can be directly pressed through the opening 2a, and the spring clip 1 extends downward to form a hook 11. The water tank 3 is a box structure with an upper opening, which is installed below the body 2. A latching platform 31 corresponding to the hook 11 is provided on the inner side wall of the upper opening of the water tank 3. The spring clip 1 itself is elastic, and the hook 11 and the latching platform 31 can be connected by their own elasticity. When it is necessary to remove the water tank from the body, press the spring clip 1 with your finger, and the spring clip 1 will drive the hook 11 to move inward into the body, thereby separating the hook 11 from the latching platform 31, and the body can be lifted directly upward. When it is necessary to install the cleaned water tank 3, simply press the body downward, and the hook will connect with the latching platform under the action of its own elasticity. Its structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention has openings 2a on both sides of the body 2, spring buckles 1 at openings 2a, the upper end of spring buckles 1 connected to the inner side wall of the body 2, and hooks 11 extending downward into the water tank 3 and forming a snap-fit ​​with the buckle platform 31.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, the preferred snap fastener 1 includes a push plate 12, a pivot 13 disposed at the upper end of the push plate 12, and a hook 11 disposed at the lower end of the push plate 12. The push plate 12 is fitted into the opening 2a, as shown. Figure 3 As shown, a positioning hole 2b is provided on the inner wall of the fuselage 2, and both ends of the rotating shaft 13 are rotatably disposed in the positioning hole 2b. Meanwhile, the fuselage 2 includes a front shell 21, a rear shell 22, and a bottom cover 23. Openings 2a are provided at the fastening points on both sides of the front shell 21 and the rear shell 22. The bottom cover 23 is installed at the lower end of the front shell 21 and the rear shell 22. Near both ends of the bottom cover 23, there are travel holes 231 that allow the latches 11 to move back and forth. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hooks 11 of the two spring buckles 1 pass through the travel hole 231 and extend into the water tank 3. In this utility model, the positioning hole 2b is preferably set on the inner side wall of the front shell 21 and the rear shell 22, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 13 are respectively rotated to form a connection with the positioning hole 2b on the front shell 21 and the rear shell 22.

[0041] As a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a first positioning post 121 is provided on the back side of the pressing plate 12, and a second positioning post 232 coaxially arranged with the first positioning post 121 is provided on the bottom cover 23. An elastic element 4 is installed between the first positioning post 121 and the second positioning post 232. The elastic element 4 is preferably a compression spring, and the two ends of the compression spring are respectively fitted onto the first positioning post 121 and the second positioning post 232. Figure 4In its free state, the button 12 is flush with the outer side of the body 2. Only when the finger presses the button 12 will the hook compress the spring, causing the hook to rotate around the pivot at a certain angle, thereby disengaging the hook from the latch, at which point the body can be lifted directly.

[0042] To facilitate the installation between the machine body and the water tank, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a first inclined surface 111 is formed at the lower end of the hook 11, which can also be a rounded corner structure. A second inclined surface 311 is formed at the upper end of the latch 31 to slide in conjunction with the first inclined surface 111. The second inclined surface 311 can also be a rounded corner structure.

[0043] The specific usage is as follows:

[0044] First, insert the pivot 13 of the snap fastener 1 into the positioning hole 2b on the inner wall of the front cover 21. Then, install the bottom cover 23 into the front cover 21. The end of the snap fastener 1's hook 11 passes through the travel hole 231 of the bottom cover 23 and extends out of the outside of the bottom cover 23. One end of the elastic element 4 is inserted into the second positioning post 232 of the bottom cover 23, and the other end is inserted into the first positioning post 121 on the back side of the button plate 12. The positioning hole 2b on the inner wall of the rear cover 22 is inserted into and engaged with one end of the pivot 13 of the snap fastener 1. The rear cover 22 and the front cover 21 are then covered and fixedly connected. The button plate 12 of the snap fastener 1 is exposed outside the body 1 through the opening 2a of the body 2.

[0045] The body 2 is placed above the water tank 3. The first inclined surface 111 of the spring buckle 1 abuts against the second inclined surface 311 of the mounting platform 31 of the water tank 3. The inclined surface guides the end of the hook 11 of the spring buckle 1 to move inward to the mounting platform 31. Under the action of the elastic element, the hook 11 locks onto the mounting platform 31, connecting the body 2 and the water tank 3 together to form a desktop water cooling fan.

[0046] When the water tank 3 needs cleaning, press the spring-loaded latches 12 on both sides of the machine body with your fingers. The spring-loaded latches 1 move inward and the hooks 11 disengage from the water tank 3 latching platform 31. At the same time, lift the machine body 2 with both hands. The machine body 2 detaches from the water tank 3. Release your fingers, and the spring-loaded latches 1 will reset under the action of the elastic element 4. After the water tank 3 is cleaned independently, place the machine body 2 back on top of the water tank 3. The first inclined surface 111 of the spring-loaded latches 1 abuts against the second inclined surface 311 of the water tank 3 latching platform 31. Guided by the inclined surfaces, the hook end of the spring-loaded latches 111 moves inward until the hook 11 engages with the latching platform 31. Under the action of the elastic element 4, the hook 11 engages with the latching platform 31, connecting the machine body 2 and the water tank 3 together.

[0047] Any aspects not covered in this utility model are applicable to the prior art.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
