The water outlet valve 3 is disposed on the rotating connection member 1. The rotating connection member 1 includes a rotating operation portion 11 and a first cooperation portion 12 connected to each other. The mounting structure further includes a second cooperation portion 21 disposed on the water tank body 2. The rotating operation portion 11 is rotated by a predetermined angle, such that the first cooperation portion 12 and the second cooperation portion 21 can convert between a first state of separation and a second state of mutual occlusion. The mounting structure effectively avoids an increase in manufacturing cost caused by a manufacturing of threads in a threaded fixing mode through a rotating occlusion fixing mode, while improving a convenience of assembly, and effectively avoiding an increase in labor costs caused by tightening threads during a assembly process. Moreover, if a threaded connection is used, the operator will have different tightening degrees, which will cause difficulties in a subsequent disassembly of the water outlet valve 3, and will also affect an assembly of the water outlet valve 3, for example, affect a moving distance of a valve core of the water outlet valve 3. By means of the mounting structure of rotating occlusion, the above problem can be effectively avoided, and assembly efficiency and assembly reliability can be improved.
