[0022] The two gears 16 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the condensing box 8 . A connecting shaft 17 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the condensing box 8 . Both ends of the connecting shaft 17 pass through both sides of the condensing box 8 and are fixedly connected to the two gears 16 .
[0023] The outer sides of the two gears 16 are meshed with racks 18, a top plate 19 is fixedly installed between the two racks 18, a baffle 20 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the top plate 19, limiting plates 21 are fixedly installed on both sides of the baffle 20, and a sealing insert 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the baffle 20.
[0024] Two chutes are provided on the top of the condensing box 8 , and two limiting plates 21 are respectively arranged inside the two chutes and in sliding contact with the condensing box 8 .

The model of the motor 24 is not described in detail, and the adaptation equipment shall prevail. The motor 24 will drive one of the gears 16 to rotate, and then drive the other gear 16 to rotate through the connecting shaft 17 to drive the two racks 18 to engage and move, thereby driving the top plate 19 and the baffle 20 at the bottom thereof to move accordingly, to open the condensation box 8, and the placement frame 15 and the non-woven filter layer 13 and the activated carbon adsorption layer 14 on the top thereof can be slid out from between the two sets of support plates 12 for replacement, thereby ensuring the filtering effect of the passing condensed water. The operation is simple and convenient, which improves the practicality of the device.
