Innovation Solution
A water tank mounting structure with a double-layer side wall configuration, featuring staggered first and second gas holes in the inner and outer side walls, respectively, to vent hot gas and prevent water ingress, along with a guide channel for drainage and additional structural features for improved assembly and airtightness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-generated harmful factors
If a single-layer side wall with gas holes is used to vent hot gas, then gas permeability is improved, but water from the external environment can easily enter the cavity
Solution Approach 1:
The side wall is segmented into an inner side wall and an outer side wall, forming a double-layer structure. The inner side wall contains first gas holes for hot gas venting, while the outer side wall contains second gas holes. This segmentation allows the system to perform multiple functions: venting hot gas through the inner layer while the outer layer provides a barrier that directs external water away from the cavity, thus preventing water ingress while maintaining gas permeability.
Solution Approach 2:
The inner side wall acts as an intermediary structure between the heating assembly and the external environment. It provides a controlled interface where hot gas can escape through the first gas holes, while simultaneously protecting the cavity from direct exposure to external water that may enter through the second gas holes in the outer side wall.
2Reliability
If the cavity is made airtight to protect internal components, then reliability is improved, but hot gas cannot be vented and temperature increases
Solution Approach 1:
The side wall structure exhibits local quality differentiation: the inner side wall is designed with first gas holes optimized for hot gas venting toward the heating assembly, while the outer side wall has second gas holes positioned and sized to allow external air intake but direct external water away from the cavity. This localized functional differentiation enables the cavity to maintain near-密闭 structure for reliability while providing targeted ventilation paths for temperature control.
3Productivity
If gas holes are arranged in the side wall to improve gas permeability, then hot gas can be vented, but external water can easily enter the cavity
Solution Approach 1:
The solution transitions from a single-layer two-dimensional wall structure to a double-layer three-dimensional structure. By adding the inner side wall layer with first gas holes positioned differently from the second gas holes in the outer side wall, the system creates a staggered arrangement that adds a spatial dimension to gas flow paths. This dimensional change allows hot gas to vent effectively through the inner layer while the outer layer's second gas holes are positioned to direct external water away from the cavity opening.

Function Achieved in This Case
Enhances gas permeability, maintains airtightness, and ensures effective drainage, improving the reliability and efficiency of the ventilation treatment apparatus by effectively managing hot gas and water ingress.
Implementation Method 1
when external water enters through the second gas hole, the water flows downward along the side wall without invading into the cavity

AI summary
A water tank mounting structure and a ventilation treatment apparatus for such structure. The water tank mounting structure comprises a cavity for containing a water tank and a side wall defining the cavity, wherein the side wall comprises an inner side wall spaced apart from an outer side, a first gas hole provided in the inner side wall, and a second gas hole provided in the outer side wall, both holes arranged in a staggered manner perpendicular to the side wall. The arrangement of the double-layer side wall, and the first and second gas holes in the inner and outer side walls, respectively, allows for hot gas in the cavity to be effectively removed. The staggered arrangement of the gas holes allows for water to flow downward along the side wall without invading the cavity when water enters through the second gas hole. A waterproof effect is achieved.
