The water in the water inlet pipe 201 is discharged from the water outlet 204 to the water tank 102. When the water in the water tank 102 becomes more, it drives the float 214 to rise, and then drives the baffle 207 blocks the water inlet pipe 201 so that no water enters, thereby ensuring that the water in the water tank 102 is always at a safe level, and the device will not be damaged by forgetting to add water. When the limit bar 301 slides on the inner wall of the limit groove 303 and pushes the water tank 102 to the bottom of the bottom frame 1, the spring 305 drives the block 306 to move to the inside of the groove 302 to fix the water tank 102. When disassembling the water tank 102, the handle 309 is turned to drive the eccentric wheel 308 to rotate and squeeze the movable plate 304 to move. The movable plate 304 moves downward to squeeze the spring 305 and drive the two blocks 306 to move down and out of the groove 302, and then the water tank 102 can be pulled and disassembled, which is convenient for cleaning the water tank 102 and improves efficiency.
