In the present embodiment, when the collecting tube 10 starts to collect condensed water, the opening of the collecting tube 10 is in an open state. As the condensed water falls into the cavity of the collecting tube 10, the gravity of the condensed water pushes the flip body 20 to flip. The flip body 20 drives the ear plate and the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft rotates in the shaft hole and causes the torsion spring to deform. After the condensed water falls into the chamber below the flip body 20, the flip body 20 can be reset. The circular plate formed by the flip body 20 and the side plate 21 jointly separates the chamber of the collecting tube 10, thereby reducing the probability of bacteria and viruses in the condensed water in the exhaled breath being discharged from the collecting tube 10, and having a better protective effect.
