In other words, the U-shaped water tank 23 and the inner wall of the rear panel 211 of the box body 21 form a square water tank.

[0053] Further, the water inlet channel 24 includes a channel main board 241, a first channel side plate 242 and a second channel side plate, one end of the first channel side plate 242 is connected to the first end of the channel main board 241, and a gap is formed between the other end of the first channel side plate 242 and the inner wall of the rear panel 211 of the box body; one end of the second channel side plate is connected to the second end of the channel main board 241, and a gap is formed between the other end of the second channel side plate and the inner wall of the rear panel 211 of the box body 21. The first surrounding edge 231 is attached to the outer wall of the channel main board 241, the second surrounding edge 232 is attached to the outer wall of the first channel side plate 242, and the third surrounding edge 233 is attached to the outer wall of the second channel side plate. In other words, the water inlet channel 24 and the inner wall of the rear panel 211 of the box body 21 form a channel with a gap. As an example, the upper part of the channel can be attached to the inner wall of the rear panel 211 of the box body 21, and the lower part of the channel forms a gap with the rear panel 211 of the box body 21.

[0054] In this way, the water flowing into the water inlet channel 24 from the water inlet 22 will first be collected in the square water tank formed by the U-shaped water tank 23 and the inner wall of the rear panel 211 of the box body 21. When the square water tank is full of water, the water will flow into the box body 21 over the upper end surface of the second surrounding edge 232 and the third surrounding edge 233 of the U-shaped water tank 23. Through this design, an effective water seal structure can be formed to reduce the circulation of air inside and outside the cabinet 1.
