Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device with a water tank. Background Technology

[0002] There are many different types of electrical appliances available today, and many of them include a water tank for operation, such as steam ovens and steam ovens. For aesthetic reasons, these appliances are increasingly being built-in. However, to ensure the cooking area is at a convenient height for the user, the water tank is often placed in an inconvenient location. For example, in machines where the water tank is located at the bottom of the inner tank, the user needs to bend or squat to retrieve it. Furthermore, because the water tank is located at the bottom of the inner tank, the user needs to feel for the front of the tank when removing it, making the process inconvenient. Users also typically need to remove the water tank to check for water before starting cooking, making the process relatively complicated. Additionally, if water overflows into the water tank holder during use, it is difficult for the user to clean, leading to dampness inside the tank holder and potential odors over time, causing inconvenience to the machine. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a device with a water tank that can move in and out synchronously with other moving parts, simplifying the operation of the water tank and making it convenient for users to check the water level in the tank.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a device with a water tank, including a body, an action component installed on the body and capable of moving relative to the body, and a water tank installed in the body in a push-pull manner, characterized in that: it further includes a linkage mechanism installed in the body and connected to the action component and the water tank in a transmission.

[0005] The linkage mechanism includes

[0006] A movable component is connected to a moving component and can move back and forth as the moving component moves;

[0007] The push plate is located at the rear of the water tank;

[0008] The first rack is connected to the moving part;

[0009] The second rack is connected to the push plate;

[0010] The transmission gear includes a first gear and a second gear arranged coaxially, wherein the first gear meshes with a first rack and the second gear meshes with a second rack.

[0011] Preferably, the machine body is provided with a working cavity, and the actuating component is a door that can be opened and closed and covers the working cavity.

[0012] Preferably, the lower part of the door is rotatably mounted on the machine body via a rotating connecting arm;

[0013] The rotating connecting arm includes a first connecting arm and a second connecting arm pivotally connected at its ends. The first connecting arm is fixed to the door body, and the second connecting arm is elastically connected to the machine body as a movable component that can move back and forth.

[0014] Preferably, the machine body has a mounting bracket extending in the front and back direction on the outside of the working cavity, and the second connecting arm is connected to the mounting bracket in the front and back direction by a spring.

[0015] To guide the forward and backward movement of the second connecting arm, the mounting bracket has a guide cavity extending in the forward and backward direction, and the second connecting arm is disposed within the guide cavity.

[0016] To facilitate the transmission connection, the end of the push plate extends outward to a first connecting rod, and each first connecting rod is connected to a second connecting rod extending in the direction of the transmission gear, and the second rack is fixed on the second connecting rod.

[0017] To facilitate limiting the installation position of the water tank within the machine body, the machine body is provided with a water tank seat having a front-opening cavity. The push plate is movable back and forth within the water tank seat, with the lower edge of the push plate abutting the inner bottom surface of the water tank seat. The water tank is movable back and forth within the water tank seat.

[0018] In order to enable the water tank to move in conjunction with each other under different operating conditions, the front surface of the push plate is provided with a magnetic suction element that can attract the water tank.

[0019] Alternatively, at least the rear wall of the water tank may be a magnetic plate, or the rear wall of the water tank may be provided with an adsorption element that matches and engages with the magnetic element.

[0020] Preferably, the machine body is provided with a partition to separate the installation space for the water tank, and the linkage mechanism is disposed on the partition.

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device with a water tank in this embodiment includes a body 1, an actuating component, a water tank 2, and a linkage mechanism.

[0028] Different structures are installed inside the main body 1 for different devices, and different corresponding moving parts can also be installed. The moving parts that are related to the function of the water tank 2 can be selected. For example, for cooking devices that need to perform steaming, the door 8 can be used. The moving part is linked to the water tank 2 through a linkage mechanism. In this way, when the door is opened, the water tank 2 can be pulled out, making it easy to check the water level in the water tank 2 and determine whether water needs to be added.

[0029] The actuating component is mounted on the body 1 and can move relative to the body 1. In this embodiment, the body 1 has a working cavity, and the actuating component is a door 8 that can be opened and closed and covers the working cavity. The lower part of the door 8 is rotatably mounted on the body 1 via a rotating connecting arm 3, and the user can hold the upper part of the door 8 to open and close the door 8.

[0030] To ensure the balance of the door 8 when it is opened, in this embodiment, the door 8 is provided with rotating connecting arms 3 on both the left and right sides. The rotating connecting arms 3 are located inside the machine body 1. Specifically, the rotating connecting arms 3 include a first connecting arm 31 and a second connecting arm 32 pivotally connected at their ends. The first connecting arm 31 is fixed to the door 8, and the second connecting arm 32 is elastically connected to the machine body 1, allowing it to move back and forth. Inside the machine body 1, on the outer side of the working cavity, is a mounting bracket 9 extending forward and backward. The second connecting arm 32 is connected to the mounting bracket 9 in the forward and backward direction via a spring 33. In this embodiment, the rotating mounting bracket 9 is located on the partition 11 described below.

[0031] To effectively limit the forward and backward movement of the second connecting arm 32 and ensure the stability of the door 8's movement, the mounting bracket 9 in this embodiment has a guide cavity 91 extending in the forward and backward direction, and the second connecting arm 32 is disposed within the guide cavity 91. The rear end of the second connecting arm 32 is connected to the front end of the spring 33, and the rear end of the spring 33 is connected to the mounting bracket 9. When the door 8 is opened, the front end of the first connecting arm 31 gradually moves downward and pushes the second connecting arm 32 backward. When the door 8 is fully opened, the first connecting arm 31 and the second connecting arm 32 are on the same straight line, at which point the second connecting arm 32 pushes the spring 33 backward, putting it in a compressed state. When the door 8 is closed, the front end of the second connecting arm 32 gradually moves upward and drives the second connecting arm 32 forward, and the spring 33 gradually releases.

[0032] The water tank 2 is slidably installed inside the body 1. The position of the water tank 2 can be set as needed, such as on the left or right side of the working cavity, or above or below the working cavity. In order to facilitate the isolation of the working cavity and the water tank 2 and avoid mutual interference, a partition 11 is provided inside the body 1 between the working cavity and the water tank 2. The partition 11 isolates the space inside the body 1, thereby facilitating the placement of the inner tank structure with the working cavity and the water tank 2 in a relatively independent space.

[0033] The linkage mechanism is located inside the body 1 and is connected to the actuating parts and the water tank 2. When the actuating parts move, the linkage mechanism can pull the water tank 2 out, and can also push the water tank 2 in as needed.

[0034] In this embodiment, the linkage mechanism is set on the partition 11. The number of linkage mechanisms is determined according to the volume of the water tank 2. For example, only one linkage mechanism can be set. In order to better ensure the stability of the linkage operation of the water tank 2, in this embodiment, two linkage mechanisms are set, which are respectively set on both sides of the water tank 2.

[0035] The linkage mechanism includes a moving part, a push plate 4, a first rack 5, a second rack 6, and a transmission gear 7.

[0036] The movable component is connected to the actuating component and can move back and forth as the actuating component moves. In this embodiment, the aforementioned second connecting arm 32 is selected as the movable component, and the aforementioned door 8 is selected as the actuating component. Thus, as the door 8 opens and closes, the second connecting arm 32 can be driven to move back and forth.

[0037] A push plate 4 is located at the rear of the water tank 2, and its main function is to push the water tank 2. A first rack 5 is connected to a moving component, and a second rack 6 is connected to the push plate 4. The transmission gear 7 includes a first gear 71 and a second gear 72 coaxially arranged. The first gear 71 meshes with the first rack 5, and the second gear 72 meshes with the second rack 6. The meshing directions of the first rack 5 and the first gear 71, and the second rack 6 and the second gear 72, can be set as needed. In this embodiment, the first rack 5 and the second rack 6 move in opposite directions based on the transmission gear 7.

[0038] Specifically, the first rack 5 is connected to the aforementioned second connecting arm 32. When the first connecting arm 31 moves forward, it drives the first rack 5 to move forward. Based on the meshing relationship between the transmission gear 7 and the first rack 5 and the second rack 6, the second rack 6 is driven to move backward. When the first connecting arm 31 moves backward, it drives the first rack 5 to move forward. Based on the meshing relationship between the transmission gear 7 and the first rack 5 and the second rack 6, the second rack 6 is driven to move backward.

[0039] To facilitate the transmission connection, the end of the push plate 4 extends outward to a first connecting rod 41. Each first connecting rod 41 is connected to a second connecting rod 42 extending towards the transmission gear 7, and the second rack 6 is fixed to the second connecting rod 42. Thus, when the second rack 6 moves, it can drive the push plate 4 to move synchronously based on the connection between the first connecting rod 41 and the second connecting rod 42, and then drive the water tank 2 to move based on the action of the push plate 4 on the water tank 2. In particular, when the push plate 4 moves forward with the door 8, it can push the water tank 2 forward out of the machine body 1, simplifying the user's operation of pulling out the water tank 2. Especially when the position of the water tank 2 is not conducive to the user's operation, the water tank 2 can be directly pushed out of the machine body 1 based on the opening action of the door 8, without the user having to search for the water tank 2 and then pull it out.

[0040] To ensure that the water tank 2 can move in tandem under different operating conditions, the front surface of the push plate 4 is equipped with a magnetic suction element that can attract the water tank 2. At least the rear wall of the water tank 2 is a magnetic plate, or the rear wall of the water tank 2 is equipped with a suction element that matches and engages with the magnetic suction element. In this way, the water tank 2 and the push plate 4 can be attracted together, so that the push plate 4 can drive the water tank 2 to move synchronously regardless of which direction it moves. For example, in this embodiment, when the door 8 is closed, it will drive the push plate 4 to move backward. However, if the water tank 2 cannot be attracted to the push plate 4, it cannot move synchronously, that is, the automatic push-in action of the water tank 2 cannot be achieved, and the user needs to push it in manually. However, based on the magnetic suction element to achieve the attraction between the push plate 4 and the water tank 2, when the door 8 is open, the user can place the water tank 2 at the position where it needs to be pushed in, and the water tank 2 will be attracted to the push plate 4. Then, when the user closes the door 8, the water tank 2 can be pushed into the machine body 1, thus achieving the automatic push-in of the water tank 2. Of course, with the door 8 closed, the user can also push the water tank 2 into the unit 1, and then the water tank 2 will be attracted to the push plate 4. The push plate 4 is equipped with a magnetic suction device, which can effectively improve the stability of the water tank 2 inside the unit 1.

[0041] In addition, to facilitate the restriction of the installation position of the water tank 2 within the body 1, the body 1 is provided with a water tank seat 21 having a front-opening cavity. The push plate 4 is movably disposed within the water tank seat 21, and the water tank 2 is slidably disposed within the water tank seat 21. In this embodiment, the lower edge of the push plate 4 is attached to the inner bottom surface of the water tank seat 21. Thus, when water overflows from the water tank 2 into the water tank seat 21, when the door 8 is opened, the push plate 4 will move forward relative to the water tank seat 21. The push plate 4 pushes the water in the water tank seat 21 to gather at the front of the water tank seat 21. After the user removes the water tank 2, the overflowing water in the water tank seat 21 can be cleaned, solving the problem of inconvenient cleaning of overflowing water in the water tank seat 21 and avoiding hygiene problems caused by prolonged lack of cleaning.

[0042] The device with a water tank in this invention, through the setting of a linkage mechanism, links the water tank 2 with the moving parts in the device. When the moving parts operate, they can pull out the water tank 2, simplifying the pulling operation. This is especially useful when the water tank 2 is located in a position within the body 1 that is inconvenient for user operation; the user can easily pull out the water tank 2 without having to fumble around for it. Simultaneously, the pulling operation of the water tank 2, based on the moving parts, facilitates the monitoring of the water level in the water tank 2, preventing the user from forgetting to add water.
