[0032] Furthermore, at least one of the first and second clamping structures is configured as a retractable structure, having a first state in which it protrudes into the mounting groove 3 and is embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 7, and a second state in which it retracts at least partially into the main body 1 or the water tank 2 and is dislodged from the snap-fit ​​groove 7, so that the water tank 2 can be clamped in the mounting groove 3 and allowed to be dislodged out of the mounting groove 3.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, the detachable base of the water tank 2 includes a main body 1. An installation groove 3 is opened on one side of the main body 1, and the water tank 2 is detachably installed there. The installation groove 3 and the water tank 2 are connected by a first clamping structure and a second clamping structure. Both clamping structures include corresponding clamping parts 6 and clamping grooves 7. At least one of the two clamping parts 6 is a telescopic structure, which allows the water tank 2 to be easily and quickly assembled into the main body 1 and clamped and locked. The two clamping structures arranged vertically and vertically make the limiting structure more stable, so that the water tank 2 will not fall out of the main body 1 during use. At the same time, it is easy to disassemble and assemble the water tank 2 for cleaning and adding clean water, resulting in a better user experience.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a positioning structure is formed between the side of the water tank 2 that extends into the mounting groove 3 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 3. The positioning structure includes a matching positioning seat 4 and a positioning groove 5. One of the positioning seat 4 and the positioning groove 5 is located on the inner wall of the mounting groove 3, while the other is located on the side of the water tank 2 that extends into the mounting groove 3. This structure guides the water tank 2 into the mounting groove 3 and prevents the water tank 2 from moving left and right within the mounting groove 3.

[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, the positioning seat 4 is formed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 3 and extends towards the water tank 2. The upper edge of the positioning seat 4 is adjacent to or integrally connected with the top wall 31 of the mounting groove 3. The positioning groove 5 is formed on the upper surface of the water tank 2 and is open upward. Obviously, the positioning seat 4 can also be set on the water tank 2 and the positioning groove 5 can be set on the inner wall of the mounting groove 3, which can also achieve the above-mentioned technical purpose. The positioning seat 4 can be arranged at any position on the inner wall of the mounting groove 3, and the water tank 2 can be configured as a horizontal U-shaped structure in the side section view, which is not limited to this. Furthermore, the lower surface of the positioning seat 4 is also formed with at least one arc-shaped protrusion 41 extending towards the water tank 2. The positioning groove 5 is formed with an equal number of arc-shaped grooves 51 and opposite positions to the arc-shaped protrusion 41, which are used to guide the water tank 2 into the mounting groove 3 and limit the water tank 2 from moving left and right in the mounting groove 3.

[0036] As a further preferred embodiment, the side of the positioning seat 4 facing the water tank 2 has an arc-shaped convex structure, and the wall of the positioning groove 5 facing the positioning seat 4 is configured as an arc-shaped concave structure that matches the arc-shaped convex structure, thereby further enhancing its positioning effect.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, specifically as follows: Figures 2 to 6 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the retaining member 6 is embedded in the main body 1, and the retaining groove 7 is opened on the top surface 21 and bottom surface 22 of the water tank 2.

[0038] As another optional embodiment, the retaining member 6 is longitudinally telescopically disposed on the top surface 21 and bottom surface 22 of the water tank 2, and the engaging groove 7 is formed on the top wall 31 and bottom wall 32 of the mounting groove 3. Preferably, both retaining members 6 of the retaining structure are designed to be telescopic for a better user experience. However, it is obvious that telescopicity of one of them is sufficient to achieve the purpose of detaching the water tank 2 and confining the water tank 2.

[0039] As a further preferred embodiment, the main body 1 is further provided with an upper mounting bracket 8 and a lower mounting bracket 9. The retaining members 6 of the first retaining structure are all movably disposed on the upper mounting bracket 8, and the retaining members 6 of the second retaining structure are all movably disposed on the lower mounting bracket 9. At least one end of all the retaining members 6 extends into the mounting groove 3 and can retract in the direction away from the water tank 2 under stress. Furthermore, an elastic member 10 is provided between each retaining member 6 and the upper mounting bracket 8 or the lower mounting bracket 9 to provide a preload force to the retaining member 6 to move towards the water tank 2. The elastic member 10 (preferably a spring) provides a resetting force to the retaining member 6. In order to enable the retaining member 6 to partially extend into the mounting groove 3, the top wall 31 and bottom wall 32 of the mounting groove 3 are provided with the same number of through holes as the retaining member 6. The diameter of the through holes is larger than the outer diameter of the end of the retaining member 6 and smaller than the outer diameter of the tail of the retaining member 6, so that the retaining member 6 is confined inside the main body 1 and its end extends into the mounting groove 3.

[0040] As another optional embodiment, the main body 1 is further provided with a driving member for moving at least one of the latching parts away from or towards the water tank 2. The surface of the main body 1 is also provided with a trigger button for triggering the operation of the driving member, so that the state in which the water tank 2 is locked in the mounting slot 3 and the state in which the water tank 2 can be removed from the mounting slot 3 can be switched by triggering the button.
