As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 14, an air treatment device 1 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct, a water tank drawer 20, and a safety locking member 30.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 14, the air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct is provided with a cooperation hole 100 and a ventilation hole and, and the water tank drawer 20 is arranged on the air outlet frame 10 of the purification air duct in a push-pull manner. Two spaced-apart cooperation protrusions 200 are arranged on a bottom wall of the water tank drawer 20. The safety locking member includes a rotating shaft 300 and a locking member 310. The locking member 310 is arranged at the top of the rotating shaft 300. The rotating shaft 300 is rotatably arranged in the cooperation hole 100 between a locking position and a movement-permitting position. The locking member 310 is located on the front sides of the cooperation protrusions 200 to prevent the displacement of the cooperation protrusions 200 at the locking position. The locking member 310 is located between the two cooperation protrusions 200 at the movement-permitting position.

It can be understood that, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 and FIG. 12 to FIG. 14, the air outlet frame 10 of the purification air duct is provided with the cooperation hole 100 and the ventilation hole. The ventilation hole is used for enabling the airflow to pass through, and the cooperation hole 100 is used for assembling the safety locking member 30. The water tank drawer 20 can be placed on an upper surface (for example, the upper surface as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 4 and FIG. 12 to FIG. 13) of the air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct. Furthermore, the water tank drawer 20 is moveable relative to the air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct. A relative positional relationship between the water tank drawer 20 and the air outlet frame 10 can be changed by pushing or pulling the water tank drawer 20.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 and FIG. 11, the safety locking member 30 can include a rotating shaft 300 and a locking member 310. One end of the locking member 310 is connected to the rotating shaft 300, and the other end of the rotating shaft 300 can pass through the cooperation hole 100. The rotating shaft 300 is rotatable in the cooperation hole 100. The locking member 310 is located outside of the cooperation hole 100 and is located on one side of the air outlet frame 10 adjacent to the water tank drawer 20. In other words, the locking member 310 is located at the upper side of the air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct. As shown in FIG. 9, two cooperation protrusions 200 are arranged on a lower surface (the lower surface as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 12) of the water tank drawer 20, and the two cooperation protrusions 200 are space from each other by a gap.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 10 and 12, when the water tank drawer 20 is located on the air outlet frame 10 (that is, the water tank drawer 20 is stacked on the air outlet frame 10, and the lower surface (the lower surface as shown in FIGS. 1, 10 and 12) of the water tank drawer 20 is opposite to the upper surface (the upper surface as shown in FIGS. 1, 10 and 12) of the air outlet frame 10), the safety locking member 30 can cooperate with the two cooperation protrusions 200 on the lower surface (the lower surface as shown in FIGS. 7 and 12) of the water tank drawer 20, so as to lock the water tank drawer 20 on the air outlet frame 10 or to unlock the water tank drawer 20 from the air outlet frame 10.

It should be noted that, “the water tank drawer 20 is locked on the air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct” mentioned herein can indicate that the water tank drawer 20 is defined on the air outlet frame 10 of the purification air duct, that is, the water tank drawer 20 is static relative to the air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct. “The water tank drawer 20 is unlocked from the air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct” mentioned herein can indicate that the water tank drawer 20 is movable relative to the air outlet frame 10 of the purification air duct and that the water tank drawer 20 can be pulled to space the lower surface (the lower surface as shown in FIGS. 1, 10 and 12) of the water tank drawer 20 apart from the upper surface (the upper surface as shown in FIGS. 1, 10 and 12) of the air outlet frame 10. FIGS. 6 and 7 are views showing when the water tank drawer 20 is pulled out from the air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct.

When the rotating shaft 300 is rotated to the locking position (that is, the position where the rotating shaft 300 is located in FIG. 4 to FIG. 5, the locking member 310 is located on the front sides (the front sides as shown in FIG. 9) of the two cooperation protrusions 200, and the length of the locking member 310 in the arrangement direction of the two cooperation protrusions 200 is greater than the gap between the two cooperation protrusions 200), the locking member 310 cannot pass through the space between the two cooperation protrusions 200. In other words, the water tank drawer 20 cannot be pulled out from the air outlet frame 10, so that the water tank drawer 20 can be confined on the air outlet frame 10 of a purification air duct. When the rotating shaft 300 is rotated to the movement-permitting position (that is, the position where the rotating shaft 300 is located in FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, the locking member 310 is located between the two cooperation protrusions 200, and the length of the locking member 310 in the arrangement direction of the two cooperation protrusions 200 is less than the gap between the two cooperation protrusions 200), the locking member 310 can pass through the space between the two cooperation protrusions 200. In other words, the water tank drawer 20 can be pulled out from the air outlet frame 10, and the water tank drawer 20 is movable relative to the air outlet frame 10.

In the air treatment device 1 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing the safety locking member 30, the relative position between the locking member 310 and the two cooperation protrusions 200 on the water tank drawer 20 can be switched by rotating the rotating shaft 300. In other words, the water tank drawer 20 can be pulled out from the air outlet frame 10, and the water tank drawer 20 can also be confined on the air outlet frame 10, which can, for example, prevent a child from accidentally pushing and pulling the water tank drawer 20 to cause an accident. As a result, the safety of operating the air treatment device 1 can be improved.

As shown in FIG. 8, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the rotating shaft 300 can be a hollow member, so that the weight of the rotating shaft 300 can be reduced. Accordingly, the production cost of the safety locking member 30 can be reduced, and the safety locking member 30 can also be conveniently operated and installed. As shown in FIG. 9, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, one cooperation protrusion 200 includes a first guide inclined plane 211 and the other cooperation protrusion 200 includes a second guide inclined plane 212. The first guide inclined plane 211 and the second guide inclined plane 212 are opposite to each other. In a direction in which the water tank drawer 20 operationally approaches the air outlet frame 10 of the purification air duct, the distance between the first guide inclined plane 211 and the second guide inclined plane 212 is gradually reduced. Thus, the first guide inclined plane 211 and the second guide inclined plane 212 collectively provide a space, in which the locking member 310 can be rotated for conveniently switching the position of the rotating shaft 300.

As shown in FIG. 11, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the air outlet frame 10 of the purification air duct can be provided with a cooperation groove 110. The cooperation hole 100 is formed in the bottom wall of the cooperation groove 110. The rotating shaft 300 is arranged in the cooperation groove 110 and rotatable within the cooperation hole 100. It can be understood that the upper surface (the upper surface as shown in FIGS. 1, 10 and 12) of the air outlet frame 10 can be provided with the cooperation groove 110, the cooperation hole 100 is located in the cooperation groove 110, and the cooperation hole 100 passes through the bottom wall of the cooperation groove 110. Therefore, the cooperation groove 110 can provide a movement space for the rotating shaft 300, thereby facilitating the rotation of the rotating shaft 300 to complete the switching of the position of the rotating shaft 300.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 11, the top of the cooperation groove 110 is open, in other words, the cooperation groove 110 includes an inner peripheral wall and a bottom wall, the inner peripheral wall is located on the bottom wall (on the bottom wall as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 10 and FIG. 12), and the inner peripheral wall is connected with the bottom wall. Thereby, the rotating shaft 300 can pass through the cooperation hole 100 from the open end of the cooperation groove 110, so that the safety locking member 30 can be assembled in the cooperation groove 110, thereby facilitating the installation of the safety locking member 30. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 11, the inner peripheral wall can be provided with an opening 1111, and the opening 1111 penetrates through the inner peripheral wall. Thereby, the rotating shaft 300 can be operated through the opening 1111.

As shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 6 and FIG. 11, according to some examples of the present disclosure, the safety locking member 30 can include a cooperation cover 320. The cooperation cover 320 is rotatably located in the cooperation groove 110. The cooperation cover 320 has a first curved surface 321 arranged on an outer peripheral wall of the cooperation cover 320. A second curved surface 114, cooperating with the first curved surface 321, is arranged on the inner peripheral wall of the cooperation groove 110. The rotating shaft 300 is arranged on the cooperation cover 320, and the locking member 310 is arranged on a top wall of the cooperation cover 320.

It can be understood that, the safety locking member 30 can further include the cooperation cover 320, the cooperation cover 320 is connected with the rotating shaft 300 (for example, the cooperation cover 320 can be sleeved on the rotating shaft 300), the locking member 310 is connected with the top wall of the cooperation cover 320, the rotating shaft 300 can be rotated by rotating the cooperation cover 320, and thus the relative positions between the locking member 310 and the two cooperation protrusions 200 can be switched.

The cooperation cover 320 can be embedded in the cooperation groove 110, the outer peripheral wall of the cooperation cover 320 includes the first curved surface 321. Accordingly, the inner peripheral wall of the cooperation groove 110 includes the second curved surface 114. The second curved surface 114 matches with the first curved surface 321. For example, the curvature of the first curved surface 321 can be the same as or supplemental to the curvature of the second curved surface 114, and the center of curvature of the first curved surface 321 can coincide with the center of curvature of the second curved surface 114. Thus, in a process of rotating the rotating shaft 300, the first curved surface 321 can be rotated along the second curved surface 114, so that the rotation smoothness of the cooperation cover 320 can be improved, and the size of the cooperation groove 110 can also be reduced.

As shown in FIG. 11, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, two intersecting planes 322 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the cooperation cover 320, and the two ends of the first curved surface 321 are respectively connected with the two planes 322. It can be understood that the outer peripheral wall of the cooperation cover 320 can include the first curved surface 321 and the two intersecting planes 322, and that the first curved surface 321 and the two intersecting planes 322 can be connected at heads and tails to form a fan shape. Thus, the size of the cooperation cover 320 can be reduced, and the user can also judge the position of the rotating shaft 300 by the viewing the position of the intersection between the two intersecting planes with respect to the cooperation groove 110.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 6, 8 and 11, the safety locking member 30 further includes a handle projection 330, and the handle projection 330 is arranged at the intersection of the two intersecting planes 322. Thus, the user can pivot the handle projection 330 to rotate the cooperation cover 320 so as to switch the position of the rotating shaft 300. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6, 8 and 11, the handle projection 330 can be a bar-shaped member. One end of the handle projection 330 is connected to the intersection of the two intersecting planes 322 on the cooperation cover 320. The other end of the handle projection 330 is away from the cooperation cover 320 and extends from the opening 1111 of the cooperation groove 110 to facilitate the operation of the user. By setting the handle projection 330 as the bar-shaped member, the user can conveniently hold the same.

As shown in FIG. 11, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of grooves 325 can be arranged in the top wall of the cooperation cover 320. The plurality of grooves 325 can be arranged around the locking member 310, and the groove bodies 325 can depress toward the interior of the cooperation cover 320. Thus, the molding of the cooperation groove 110 can be conveniently implemented by using the grooves 325. For example, two grooves 325 can be arranged on the top wall of the cooperation cover 320, and the two grooves 325 are located on the both sides of the locking member 310. Thus, two fingers can be inserted into the two grooves 325 to hold the cooperation cover 320 so as to conveniently operate the cooperation cover 320, for example, during assembly and disassembly and the like.

As shown in FIG. 11, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the air treatment device 1 can further include a supporting column 120 that is hollow, the supporting column 120 is arranged around the cooperation hole 100, the cooperation cover 320 is covered and supported on the supporting column 120, and the rotating shaft 300 passes through the supporting column 120 to cooperate with the cooperation hole 100. It can be understood that the supporting column 120 can be formed in a cylindrical shape, the supporting column 120 can extend along the circumferential direction of the cooperation hole 100, the cooperation hole 100 is located in the inner cylinder of the supporting column 120, the cooperation cover 320 can be covered on the supporting column 120, the supporting column 120 can support the cooperation cover 320, and the rotating shaft 300 is inserted in the cooperation cover 320.

Therefore, the supporting column 120 can be used for supporting the cooperation cover 320, so that the mounting stability of the cooperation cover 320 can be improved, scratches on the bottom wall of the cooperation groove 110 caused by the cooperation cover 320 in the rotation process are avoided, and the rotation smoothness of the cooperation cover 320 can also be improved. The supporting column 120 can also limit the rotation of the rotating shaft 300, improve the rotation stability of the rotating shaft 300, and prevent the rotating shaft 300 from swaying left and right in the rotation process.

As shown in FIG. 11, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of spaced-apart positioning grooves 113 are formed in the inner peripheral wall of the cooperation groove 110, a plurality of elastic protrusions 323 are arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the cooperation cover 320, and at least one of the elastic protrusions 323 cooperates with one of the positioning grooves 113 at the movement-permitting position and the locking position. Therefore, the maneuverability of the safety locking member 30 can be improved. When the rotating shaft 300 of the safety locking member 30 is located at any one of the locking position and the movement-permitting position, a sensible feedback can be provided to the operator through the cooperation relationship between the elastic protrusions 323 and the positioning grooves 113 to inform the operator to stop the rotation, so that the operation experience of the safety locking member 30 can be improved.

When the rotating shaft 300 is at the movement-permitting position, at least one elastic protrusion 323 can be fitted into the positioning groove 113; and when the cooperation cover 320 is rotated to cause the rotating shaft 300 to switch from the movement-permitting position to the locking position, the elastic protrusion 323 can be removed from the corresponding positioning groove 113. In the process of continuously rotating the cooperation cover 320 to switch the rotating shaft 300 to the locking position, at least one elastic protrusion 323 can slide into one of the plurality of positioning grooves 113, and the elastic protrusion 323 cooperates with the positioning groove 113. When the elastic protrusion 323 slides into the positioning groove 113 and subsequently slides out of the positioning groove 113, the operation becomes difficult and the user needs to increase the rotation force, so that the position information of the rotating shaft 300 can be fed back to the user. As a result, whether the rotating shaft 300 is located at the locking position or movement-permitting position can also be fed back to the user.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 11, the joint of the positioning groove 113 and the cooperation groove 110 can be a smooth curved surface. Thus, the elastic protrusion 323 can conveniently slide into the positioning groove 113, and the elastic protrusion 323 can also conveniently slide out of the positioning groove 113. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a notch 324, extending to the bottom wall of the cooperation cover 320, is formed in the outer peripheral wall of the cooperation cover 320. The notches 324 are formed in both sides of each of the elastic protrusions 323. It can be understood that a plurality of notches 324 are formed in the outer peripheral wall of the cooperation cover 320, each of the elastic protrusions 323 corresponds to two notches 324, the two notches 324 are located on the both sides of the elastic protrusion 323, and each notch 324 extends toward the top wall of the cooperation cover 320. Thus, the elastic protrusion 323 can be conveniently fitted into the positioning groove 113, and the elastic protrusion 323 can also conveniently slide out of the positioning groove 113. It should be noted that the “bottom wall of the cooperation cover 320” mentioned herein may refer to a bottom surface of the cooperation cover 320, that is, an inner surface of the top wall of the cooperation cover 320.

As shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a dismounting port 130 communicating with the cooperation hole 100 is formed in the air outlet frame 10 of the purification air duct. An abutting projection 301 is arranged at a lower end of the rotating shaft 300. The abutting projection 301 and the dismounting port 130 are arranged to be staggered or offset to each other at the locking position and the movement-permitting position.
