[0035] When the water tank 200 needs to be taken out and filled with water, Figure 5As shown, the water tank 200 moves upward and is taken out from the mounting base 100, wherein, when the water outlet joint 210 of the water tank 200 is just pulled out from the water inlet joint 120 of the mounting base 100, water may leak from the water outlet of the water outlet joint 210. Since the water outlet is located in the connecting portion 130 and is provided with a drainage cavity 140, the water can directly drip into the drainage cavity 140 between the connecting portion 130 and the water outlet joint 210, and then flow into the water storage cavity 110 for storage, or drip onto the water inlet joint 120. When the water inlet joint 120 is full of water, the water on the water inlet joint 120 flows into the drainage cavity 140, and then flows into the water storage cavity 110 for storage. Since the leaked water can flow into the water storage cavity 110 for storage, water leakage can be avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the top of the mounting seat 100 has a first placement hole 150 connected to the water storage chamber 110, that is, the upper end of the first placement hole 150 is connected to the outside, and the lower end of the first placement hole 150 is connected to the water storage chamber 110. The user can release the water from the water storage chamber 110 through the first placement hole 150.

[0037] In a further embodiment of the present invention, a sponge (not shown in the figure) for absorbing water may be placed in the first placement hole 150 to facilitate the user to take out the water in the water storage chamber 110 .

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 , 5 As shown, the connection part 130 extends downward from the upper end surface of the mounting seat 100 so that the connection part 130 does not occupy the space in the upper and lower directions of the mounting seat 100, so that the water outlet joint 210 is inserted into the mounting seat 100 and connected with the water inlet joint 120. Specifically, the connection part 130 is ring-shaped.

[0039] In a further embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 , 6 As shown in , 7, the mounting base 100 includes an upper cover 160 and a fixed bracket 170, the fixed bracket 170 has a water inlet connector 120 and a water storage chamber 110, the upper cover 160 has a connecting portion 130, the connecting portion 130 and the water inlet connector 120 are located in the water storage chamber 110, that is, the connecting portion 130 of the upper cover 160 is inserted into the water storage chamber 110, and the water inlet connector 120 is located in the connecting portion 130, and there is a gap between the lower end of the connecting portion 130 and the bottom surface of the water storage chamber 110, so that the drainage chamber 140 is connected to the water storage chamber 110; the fixed bracket 170 is installed with the water inlet connector 120 and the water storage chamber 110, so that the mounting base 100 is easy to assemble and has a simple structure.
