And one of the body 12 and the water receiving box 13, which is provided with the locking member 142, and the locking member 142 are slidably disposed, so that the locking member 142 has a first position and a second position. The clamping protrusion 141 can be in a limiting fit with the locking member 142 located at the first position and in the locking state, and the locking member 142 is located at the second position and in the unlocking state with the clamping protrusion 141.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, the fastening protrusion 141 is disposed on the water receiving box 13. The locking member 142 is slidably configured with the body 12 such that the locking member 142 can slide between a first position and a second position. The clamping protrusion 141 can be in a limiting fit with the locking member 142 at the first position and in a locking state, and the locking member 142 is in a second position and in an unlocking state with the clamping protrusion 141.

When the water receiving box 13 needs to be limited in the accommodating space 122, the locking member 142 is adjusted to the first position as shown in fig. 5 and 6, and the locking member 142 is in limited fit with the clamping protrusion 141. On the premise of not releasing the limit fit relationship between the locking member 142 and the locking protrusion 141, the water receiving box 13 cannot exit from the accommodating space 122.

Specifically, retaining member 142 with spacing cooperation between the protruding 141 of chucking can be for the cooperation of magnetic attraction, chucking cooperation or other cooperation relations, as long as it can restrict water receiving box 13 follow switch to in the accommodation space 122 the water receiving position can.

Further, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, 11, 12 and 14, the retaining member 142 is provided with a large aperture 1421 and a small aperture 1422. The axial direction of the large hole 1421 and the axial direction of the small hole 1422 are both parallel to the drawing direction of the water receiving box 13, and the axis of the large hole 1421 and the axis of the small hole 1422 are arranged at intervals in the direction in which the locking member 142 slides relative to the machine body 12. As shown in fig. 11, 12 and 14, the large holes 1421 communicate with the small holes 1422;

as shown in fig. 3 to 12, the fastening protrusion 141 has a large head portion 1411 and a connecting portion 1412, the connecting portion 1412 connects the large head portion 1411 with the water receptacle 13, the large head portion 1411 can pass through the large hole 1421, the connecting portion 1412 can pass through the small hole 1422, and the large head portion 1411 cannot pass through the small hole 1422;

when the locking member 142 is in the first position, the aperture 1422 is opposite to the large head 1411;

when the locking member 142 is in the second position, the large opening 1421 is opposite to the large head 1411.

When water is taken normally, as shown in fig. 1, 3, 8 and 10, the water receiving box 13 is located at the water receiving position. When the water drinking device 10 needs to be carried, the water receiving box 13 is pushed into the accommodating space 122 as shown in fig. 5 and 9. When the water receiving box 13 is pushed into the receiving space 122, the large head 1411 firstly passes through the large hole 1421. After the large head 1411 passes through the large hole 1421, the locking member 142 is switched to the first position, at this time, the large head 1411 is opposite to the small hole 1422, and the large head 1411 cannot pass through the small hole 1422, so that the large head 1411 is limited on the locking member 142, and the water receiving box 13 cannot exit from the receiving space 122.

Specifically, in some embodiments, the outside diameter of the large head portion 1411 is larger than the diameter of the small bore 1422, such that the large head portion 1411 cannot pass through the small bore 1422.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 11, 12 and 14, in some embodiments, the large hole 1421 and/or the small hole 1422 is a through hole penetrating through the locking member 142, so that when the large head portion 1411 passes through the large hole 1421 and the locking member 142 is switched to the first position, the large head portion 1411 is limited at one side of the locking member 142, and cannot exit the locking member 142. If the water receiving box 13 needs to be taken out of the receiving space 122, as shown in fig. 12, the locking member 142 needs to be switched to the second position first, so that the large head portion 1411 is opposite to the large hole 1421, and at this time, the large head portion 1411 can be withdrawn to the other side of the locking member 142 to be separated from the constraint of the locking member 142.

Optionally, in other embodiments, the large hole 1421 and/or the small hole 1422 may also be blind holes, and a yielding groove is disposed at the bottom of the blind hole and communicates the large hole 1421 and the small hole 1422, so that the large head 1411 reaches the yielding groove after passing through the large hole 1421, and then can slide to a position opposite to the small hole 1422 along the yielding groove without exiting from the locking member 142, so as to be limited by the locking member 142.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 12, a direction in which the water receiving box 13 moves from the water receiving position into the receiving space 122 is a push-in direction. At the angle shown in fig. 8 and 10, the direction indicated by L is the push-in direction.

So that the locking protrusion 141 can be just inserted into the locking member 142 when the water receiving box 13 is pushed into the receiving space 122.

Further, as shown in fig. 4 and 16, the large head 1411 is a cone, and the outer diameter of the large head 1411 is gradually reduced in the pushing-in direction. Therefore, when the water receiving box 13 is pushed into the receiving space 122, if the large head 1411 is just inserted into the small hole 1422, the large head 1411 can gradually slide into the large hole 1421 along with the gradual insertion of the large head 1411, so that the process of pushing the water receiving box 13 into the receiving space 122 is smoother.

Further, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 7, 11 and 12, the locking assembly 14 further includes a first elastic restoring member 143, and the first elastic restoring member 143 acts between the body 12 and the locking member 142 to provide the locking member 142 with an elastic restoring force for sliding from the second position to the first position.

No matter after the water receiving box 13 is inserted into the receiving space 122 or after the water receiving box 13 exits from the receiving space 122, the locking member 142 is restored to the first position under the action of the first elastic restoring member 143.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 11, the locking member 142 will be restored to the position where the large head portion 1411 is opposite to the small hole 1422 by the first elastic restoring member 143.

When the water receiving box 13 is pushed into the receiving space 122 from the water receiving position, the large head 1411 first contacts the small hole 1422, and then as the large head 1411 is gradually inserted, the large head 1411 provides an acting force to the locking member 142 so that the locking member 142 moves to the second position against the elastic force of the first elastic restoring member 143, and the large head 1411 is inserted into the large hole 1421 until passing through the large hole 1421. After the large head 1411 passes through the large hole 1421, the locking member 142 returns to the first position under the elastic force of the first elastic restoring member 143 without the force provided by the large head 1411. So that the large head 1411 is opposite to the small hole 1422 and is retained at one side of the locker 142. When the water receiving box 13 needs to be pulled out, the locking member 142 needs to be actively switched to the second position as shown in fig. 12.

When the locking member 142 is switched between the first position and the second position relative to the body 12, the guiding groove 1231 plays a guiding role for the locking member 142.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 7 and 13, the guide protrusion 123 is provided on the base 121.

Further, as shown in fig. 7 to 12, in one embodiment, the locking assembly 14 further includes a stopper 144, and the stopper 144 spans between the two guide protrusions 123 and is connected to the two guide protrusions 123. The blocking member 144 blocks the sliding direction of the locking member 142 from the first position to the second position, and the first elastic restoring member 143 is disposed between the blocking member 144 and the locking member 142.

As shown in fig. 12, when the locking member 142 is located at the second position, the first elastic restoring member 143 is in a compressed state, and as long as no other external force acts, the locking member 142 will be restored to the first position under the action of the first elastic restoring member 143.

When the large head 1411 is located in the large hole 1421, the locking member 142 is located at the second position based on the force provided by the large head 1411 to the locking member 142, and the first elastic restoring member 143 is in a compressed state. As shown in FIG. 12, the retaining member 142 returns to the first position shown in FIG. 11 upon passage of the large head portion 1411 through the large opening 1421.

Further, in one embodiment, the stop member 144 is removably coupled to the guide projection 123.

After the locking assembly 14 releases the limiting effect on the water receiving box 13, the water receiving box 13 can be automatically ejected out of the accommodating space 122 under the action of the second elastic reset piece 15, and on this basis, a user can further draw the water receiving box 13 out to the water receiving position.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 to 9, the second elastic restoring member 15 acts between the guide protrusion 123 and the water receiving box 13, and is configured to provide an elastic restoring force for the water receiving box 13 to slide from the receiving space 122 to the water receiving position.

Further in particular, in some embodiments, said second elastic return element 15 is a compression spring.

Alternatively, in other embodiments, the second elastic resetting element 15 may also be another elastic element, which is not limited herein.

Further, as shown in fig. 10, 13 and 16, in an embodiment, one of the body 12 and the water receiving box 13 is provided with a drawing guide slot 131, and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion 1211, a guiding direction of the drawing guide slot 131 is consistent with a drawing direction of the water receiving box 13, and the limiting protrusion 1211 is slidably fitted in the drawing guide slot 131. Under the matching and guiding action of the limiting protrusion 1211 and the drawing guide groove 131, the water receiving box 13 can be switched in position in a more flow process.

Further, as shown in fig. 16, in one embodiment, a check projection 1311 is provided on a groove wall of the drawing guide 131. As shown in fig. 10, when the water receiving box 13 moves to the water receiving position, the limiting protrusion 1211 abuts against the non-return protrusion 1311 to prevent the water receiving box 13 from sliding into the receiving space 122. The water receiving box 13 is prevented from automatically sliding into the accommodating space 122.

Of course, when the pushing force applied by the user to the water receiving box 13 is large enough, the non-return protrusion 1311 may be staggered from the limit protrusion 1211, so as to further push the water receiving box 13 into the receiving space 122.

Specifically, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 16, the drawing guide groove 131 is formed on the water receiving box 13, and the limiting protrusion 1211 is disposed on the machine body 12. As shown in fig. 10, when the water receiving box 13 moves to the water receiving position, the check projection 1311 and the limit projection 1211 are sequentially arranged in the push-in direction, and the limit projection 1211 abuts in a direction in which the check projection 1311 enters the receiving space 122. Only when a user provides a certain pushing force, the check projection 1311 may pass over the stopper projection 1211, and then the water receiver 13 may be pushed into the receiving space 122.

Further specifically, as shown in fig. 13, the limiting protrusion 1211 is disposed on the base 121.
