[0028] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes a water tank assembly and a humidifier provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the following description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any particular limitation on the present invention.
[0029] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a water tank assembly, such as... Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a water tank body 100; a claw assembly, which is connected to the water tank body 100 via a sliding connection assembly, the claw assembly forming a clamping area, and the sliding connection assembly can drive the claw assembly to slide to adjust the size of the clamping area; and a sterilization device 400, which is clamped within the clamping area.
[0030] The water tank assembly provided by this utility model includes a water tank body 100, a clamping claw assembly, and a sterilization device 400. The clamping claw assembly is connected to the water tank body 100 via a sliding connection assembly. A clamping area is formed within the clamping claw assembly, and the sliding connection assembly can drive the clamping claw assembly to slide, thereby adjusting the size of the clamping area. The sterilization device 400 is clamped within the clamping area. During use, the size of the clamping area in the clamping assembly can be changed by adjusting the sliding connection assembly, thus making it suitable for clamping sterilization devices 400 of different sizes.
[0031] As can be seen from the above description, by setting a sliding and adjustable claw assembly and its sliding connector inside the water tank body 100, the size of the clamping area can be flexibly changed, thereby effectively solving the compatibility problem caused by the fixed size of the existing fixing frame; this structure enables the claw assembly to firmly clamp various sterilization devices 400 of different sizes and specifications, significantly improving the versatility and interchangeability of the sterilization device 400.
[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the claw assembly includes: a plurality of claw bodies 200, which are arranged in a circular array to the bottom of the water tank body 100, and a clamping area is formed between each claw body 200.
[0033] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the sliding connection component includes: a plurality of sliding connectors 300, each sliding connector 300 being connected to a claw body 200 in a one-to-one correspondence, and each sliding connector 300 being able to drive the corresponding claw body 200 to move along a direction closer to or further away from the array center.
[0034] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the claw assembly includes three claw bodies 200. The three claw bodies 200 are evenly arranged in a circular array at the inner bottom of the water tank body 100. A clamping area is formed between the three claw bodies 200. Correspondingly, three sliding connectors 300 are provided. Each sliding connector 300 is connected to a claw body 200 in a one-to-one correspondence. Each sliding connector 300 can drive the corresponding claw body 200 to slide radially along the array ring towards or away from the center of the array ring, thereby adjusting the size of the clamping area. Furthermore, setting the number of claw bodies 200 to three improves the firmness of their clamping of the sterilization device 400.
[0035] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sliding connector 300 includes: a sliding groove 310, which extends to the bottom of the water tank body 100 and is arranged along the radial direction of the array ring; and a slider 320, which is connected to the claw body 200 and is slidably connected to the sliding groove 310.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, three sliding grooves 310 are arranged in a ring at the inner bottom of the water tank body 100, with the grooves 310 opening along the radial direction of the ring. A corresponding slider 320 is slidably connected within each groove 310. A claw plate is connected to each slider 320. When a slider 320 is pushed, its corresponding claw plate 200 can move closer to or further away from the center of the ring, thereby adjusting the clamping area.
[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sliding connector 300 further includes a locking structure, which is disposed between the slider 320 and the groove 310 to lock the slider 320.
[0038] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, the locking structure includes: a locking hole, which is opened into the slider 320; a plurality of locking mating holes 340, each locking mating hole 340 being opened at intervals along the sliding direction of the slider 320 into the slide groove 310; and a locking post 330, which can be inserted between the locking hole and a certain locking mating hole 340.
[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, each slider 320 is provided with a locking hole. Multiple locking engagement holes 340 are spaced apart along the extension direction of each slide groove 310. Both the locking holes and the locking engagement holes 340 are adapted to the locking pins 330. When the claw body 200 slides to the target position, the locking pins 330 can be inserted into the locking holes and the corresponding locking engagement holes 340. By providing a locking pin 330 between each claw body 200 and its corresponding slide groove 310, the clamping area within the claw body 200 can be of an irregular shape, allowing for the clamping of irregularly shaped sterilization devices 400, further enhancing its versatility.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the sterilization device 400 includes: a sterilization bottle 410, which is clamped in the clamping area, and at least one flow groove 411 is formed on the side wall of the sterilization bottle 410; a sterilizing agent, which is contained in the sterilization bottle 410; and a bottle cap 420, which is closed onto the sterilization bottle 410.

[0042] By using a snap-fit mechanism between the slot 440 and the clip 430, users can easily open the bottle cap 420 to replenish the disinfectant. The entire disinfection device 400 can also be replaced when needed.
[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, each flow channel 411 is inclinedly arranged on the side wall of the sterilization bottle 410, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each flow channel 411 is spaced apart and parallel to each other on the side wall of the sterilization plate to extend the length of the flow channel 411 and improve the effect of the sterilization agent after slow release.
[0044] A second aspect of this invention provides a humidifier including the water tank assembly described above.
[0045] Furthermore, the humidifier provided by this utility model, since it includes the water tank assembly as described above, also possesses the advantages described above.
