A accommodating chamber 2011 is provided at the bottom end of the air conditioner main body 201. The accommodating chamber 2011 is provided with a mounting groove 2012 and a mounting opening 2013. The mounting groove 2012 is located on the upper side wall of the accommodating chamber 2011. A limit block 2014 is provided on the accommodating chamber 2011 near the mounting groove 2012. The mounting opening 2013 is located on one side wall of the accommodating chamber 2011. When installing the water tank main body 10, the water tank main body 10 is loaded into the accommodating chamber 2011 along the mounting opening 2013.

[0027] In some embodiments, the water tank body 10 is placed horizontally, and is provided with a water inlet hole 11 and a mounting hole 12 for the float 20 to be raised and lowered. The water inlet hole 11 is located on the side wall of the water tank body 10, and the mounting hole 12 is located at the top of the water tank body 10. The mounting hole 12 is provided with a clearance hole 121 coaxially arranged with the mounting hole 12, the aperture of the clearance hole 121 is larger than the aperture of the mounting hole 12, and the clearance hole 121 is closer to the magnetic control switch 30 than the mounting hole 12. A supporting table is formed between the clearance hole 121 and the mounting hole 12, and the hole wall of the mounting hole 12 is provided with a mounting protrusion 122 protruding toward the inner wall of the water tank body 10. Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting protrusion 122 is a circular ring structure.

[0028] The top of the float 20 located outside the water tank body 10 is provided with a magnet 21 matched with a magnetic control switch 30, and the magnetic control switch 30 is electrically connected to the control circuit.

[0029] The float 20 includes a first mounting portion 22 and a second mounting portion 23 sequentially arranged along the height direction of the water tank body 10. The first mounting portion 22 is a disc-shaped, square-shaped, or elliptical structure, and the second mounting portion 23 is a hollow cylinder, a rectangular parallelepiped, or an elliptical structure. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first mounting portion 22 is a disc-shaped structure, and the second mounting portion 23 is a cylindrical structure.

[0030] The end face size of the first mounting portion 22 is larger than the aperture size of the mounting hole 12 , the aperture size of the second mounting portion 23 is matched with the aperture size of the mounting hole 12 , and the first mounting portion 22 is located between the water tank body 10 and the accommodating chamber, and the second mounting portion 23 is located inside the water tank body 10 .

[0031] The first mounting portion 22 is provided with a fixing groove 221, and the magnet 21 is placed in the fixing groove 221. The second mounting portion 23 is provided with a limiting protrusion 231, and the mounting protrusion 122 corresponds to the limiting protrusion 231.

The first through hole and the second through hole are both located directly below the magnetic control switch 30. The setting of the first through hole and the second through hole reduces the obstacle between the magnet 21 and the magnetic control switch 30, and improves the sensing accuracy of the magnetic control switch 30 to the magnet 21 when the float 20 floats up.

[0036] The working process of the detachable water tank 100 with full water alarm provided by the utility model is as follows: when the water in the water tank body 10 is full, the float 20 moves upward along the mounting hole 12 as the water level rises, and finally makes the magnet 21 at the top of the float 20 enter the sensing range of the magnetic control switch 30. The magnetic control switch 30 senses the existence of the magnet 21, and then transmits the full water signal to the control circuit, so that the control circuit controls the air conditioner body 201 to stop, and then the water tank body 10 can be drawn out to drain water.

[0037] Beneficial effect: When the water in the water tank body 10 is full, the float 20 rises along the hole wall of the installation hole 12 as the water level rises, and drives the magnet 21 to rise to within the sensing range of the magnetic control switch 30, so that the magnetic control switch 30 transmits a water full signal to the control circuit, and the control circuit controls the air conditioner body 201 to shut down. Since the magnet 21 is located at the end of the float 20 outside the water tank body 10, when the magnetic control switch 30 senses the magnet 21, there is no obstruction from the wall of the water tank body 10, thereby improving the detection accuracy.
