The movable component is used to cooperate with the collection box 6 to drive the plug 19 to move. When the collection box 6 is taken out of the collection chamber 4, the plug 19 moves down to close the top of the lower pipe 13. When the collection box 6 is installed in the collection chamber 4, the plug 19 moves up and no longer closes the top of the lower pipe 13. A liquid level alarm 21 is installed on the top inner wall of the collection box 6. The liquid level alarm 21 can be selected from the wireless liquid level monitoring alarm in the prior art according to needs.
[0018] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3The movable component includes a movable plate 14, a vertical rod 15 connected to the top of the movable plate 14, and an elastic member 20 sleeved on the vertical rod 15. The vertical rod 15 is connected to the side of the receiving frame 12 by inserting and fitting. The bottom end of the elastic member 20 is connected to the top of the movable plate 14. The top of the elastic member 20 is connected to the bottom end of the receiving frame 12. The movable plate 14 includes a connected arc plate portion 16 and a horizontal plate portion 17. The arc plate portion 16 is arranged near the front end of the collecting chamber 4. During the movement of the collecting box 6, the top of the collecting box 6 will squeeze the arc plate portion 16, and finally the bottom end of the horizontal plate portion 17 fits with the top of the collecting box 6.
[0019] Example 2: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 On the basis of the first embodiment, a sealing plate 8 is installed at the upper front end of the collecting chamber 4, and mounting grooves 10 are provided on both sides of the front end of the dehumidifier casing 1.

[0021] Working principle: When in use, the collection box 6 is installed in the collection chamber 4. During the movement of the collection box 6, the top of the collection box 6 first squeezes the arc plate 16 until the top of the collection box 6 slides and fits with the bottom of the horizontal plate 17. The arc plate 16 moves upward under pressure and drives the vertical rod 15 upward. The vertical rod 15 moves upward and drives the sealing plug 19 upward. The sealing plug 19 is detached from the top of the lower discharge pipe 13. At this time, the water produced by the dehumidifier body 2 is discharged into the receiving frame 12 through the drainage pipe 3, and then discharged to the collection box through the lower discharge pipe 13. 6. When the water in the collecting box 6 is almost full, an alarm is sounded through the liquid level alarm 21 to remind the user to drain the water. When the collecting box 6 is taken out of the collecting chamber 4, the elastic member 20 drives the vertical rod 15 to move downward, and then drives the movable plate 14, the connecting rod 18 and the sealing plug 19 to move downward. The sealing plug 19 moves downward to block the lower discharge pipe 13. At this time, the receiving frame 12 can be used to replace the collecting box 6 for drainage and collection. When the empty collecting box 6 is reinstalled in the collecting chamber 4, the water in the receiving frame 12 is discharged to the collecting box 6 for collection.
