Further, referring to fig. 3 to 6, in an embodiment of the present invention, a limit rail 500 is further provided at the rear side of the door body, the limit rail 500 may be provided on the fixing frame 300, the tank bracket 200 is pivotally connected with a limit lever 600, a limit post 610 is provided on the limit lever 600, and the tank bracket 200 rotates to drive the limit post 610 to slide in the limit rail 500. The limit rail 500 includes a deployment rail 510 and a return rail 520, and a one-way stroke limit mechanism 511 is provided in the deployment rail 510, and the one-way stroke limit mechanism 511 allows the tank bracket 200 to rotate toward the deployment position and limits the tank bracket 200 from rotating toward the storage position. The one-way travel limit mechanism 511 may be a ratchet structure disposed within the deployment track 510.
Both ends of the deployment rail 510 and the return rail 520 are communicated to form a closed loop shape. When the water tank support 200 rotates from the accommodating position to the unfolding position, the limiting rod 600 is driven to swing, at this time, the limiting column 610 slides in the unfolding track 510, and ratchet teeth in the unfolding track 510 are matched with the limiting column 610, so that the limiting column 610 is allowed to move towards one side of the unfolding position and the limiting column 610 is limited to move towards one side of the accommodating position, and the water tank support 200 can hover at any position, so that a user can conveniently take out or put the water tank 400.
The tracks of the unfolding track 510 and the restoring track 520 comprise concentric circular arcs centering on the rotating shaft of the water tank bracket 200, the limit track 500 further comprises a guide track 540 positioned at one end of the unfolding position, the guide track 540 is connected with the unfolding track 510 and the restoring track 520, the guide track 540 extends from the unfolding track 510 to the unfolding position, and the side of the unfolding track 510 is inclined to the side of the restoring track 520. When a user pulls the water tank support 200 from the storage position to the unfolding position, the limit rod 600 rotates around the water tank support 200, the limit post 610 slides in the unfolding track 510 to one side of the unfolding position, when the limit post 610 moves to the limit position on one side of the unfolding track 510 at the unfolding position, the limit post 610 continuously drives the water tank support 200 to rotate to the unfolding position, the limit post 610 enters the guide track 540 from the unfolding track 510, and then enters the return track 520 from the guide track 540.
The track connection surface of the guide track 540 and the return track 520 is stepped, and the track surface of the guide track 540 side is higher than the return track 520 side. When the limit post 610 slides from the guide rail 540 to the return rail 520, the limit post 610 does not return to the guide rail 540 again at the stop of the step surface.
The bottom surface of the tank bracket 200 is further provided with stop ribs 611 disposed at both sides of the stopper rod 600, and the stop ribs 611 are used to limit the swing range of the stopper rod 600. When the water tank support 200 is in the accommodating position, the limit rod 600 is abutted with the stop rib 611 on one side, and when the water tank support 200 is in the limit unfolding position, the limit rod 600 is abutted with the stop rib 611 on the other side, so that the limit rod 600 is prevented from being separated from the limit rail 500 due to the fact that the swing range of the limit rod 600 is large.
Further, in an embodiment of the present invention, a reset guide 700 is further disposed at the inner side of the door body, the reset guide 700 includes a slope surface ascending along the rotation direction of the tank stand 200 from the receiving position to the unfolding position, the tank stand 200 is provided with a supporting portion 230 supported on the slope surface, the supporting portion 230 can slide on the slope surface, and the tank stand 200 rotates to drive the supporting portion 230 to climb or slide down along the slope surface.
In this embodiment, when the user applies an external force to the tank holder 200 to drive the tank holder 200 to rotate from the storage position to the deployed position, the support portion 230 at the bottom of the tank holder 200 climbs along the slope, and the tank holder 200 slowly rises, and if the user releases the tank holder 200 at this time, the tank holder 200 tends to slide downward along the slope of the return guide portion 700 under the action of gravity. If the tank stand 200 is not unfolded to the extreme unfolded position at this time, the limit posts 610 are engaged with the ratchet teeth in the unfolding track 510, and the tank stand 200 is suspended at this position by the stop of the ratchet teeth. If the tank stand 200 is rotated to the limit unfolding position, the limit post 610 enters the restoring rail 520 from the unfolding rail 510, and the tank stand 200 slides down the slope of the restoring guide 700 under the action of gravity, and automatically returns to the storage position.
In this way, by providing the reset guide 700 to accumulate the gravitational potential energy when the water tank stand 200 is unfolded, the water tank stand 200 can be automatically restored to the accommodating position from the unfolded position under the action of the gravitational potential energy, thereby facilitating the use of the user.
Further, the reset guide 700 is disposed on the lower rotating shaft seat 320, and the slope is arc-shaped with the rotating shaft 340 as the center.
