[0027] When the water tank 103 is placed in the dehumidifier housing 101, the water storage box 106 can be pulled downward, so that the bellows 107 is stretched and the drain pipe 105 enters the collection tube 104. At this time, the position of the drain pipe 105 can be fixed by the fixing component. When the drain pipe 105 enters the collection tube 104, the blocking component can automatically release the blocking of the drain pipe 105, so that the water collected by the dehumidifier can be introduced into the bellows 107 along the moisture guide pipe 108 and then enter the water storage box 106, and then through the drain pipe 105 is discharged to the water tank 103 for collection. The weight measuring component can monitor the amount of water collected in the water tank 103. When the water collected in the water tank 103 reaches the upper limit, the water tank 103 can be taken out. Before taking it out, it is necessary to first release the limit of the drain pipe 105 by the fixing component, and then directly move up the water storage box 106.

[0033] As an embodiment of the utility model, the pressure sensor 505 is electrically connected to a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to an alarm. When the pressure sensor 505 detects that the water in the water tank 103 reaches the upper limit, the alarm can be used to promptly remind, thereby achieving better use effect.

[0034] When in use, after the water tank body 103 is placed in the dehumidifier housing 101, the water storage box 106 can be pulled downwards, so that the bellows 107 is stretched and the drain pipe 105 enters the collection tube 104. At this time, the position of the drain pipe 105 can be fixed by the fixing component. When the drain pipe 105 enters the collection tube 104, the blocking component can automatically release the blocking of the drain pipe 105, so that the water collected by the dehumidifier can be introduced into the bellows 107 along the moisture guide tube 108 and then enter the water storage box 106, and then through the drain The water pipe 105 is drained to the water tank 103 for collection. The weight measuring component can monitor the amount of water collected in the water tank 103. When the water collected in the water tank 103 reaches the upper limit, the water tank 103 can be taken out. Before taking it out, it is necessary to first release the limit of the drain pipe 105 by the fixing component, and then directly move up the water storage box 106. At this time, the blocking component will automatically block the drain pipe 105. The collected water will be temporarily collected in the water storage box 106, which will not affect the normal operation of the dehumidifier and has a better use effect.
