[0002] With the continuous development of the air conditioning industry, the placement of indoor air conditioner units has become increasingly diverse. Currently, indoor air conditioner units are commonly equipped with float switches. These utilize a magnetic float on the switch, which activates a reed switch chip located within a switch detection tube as the liquid level rises or falls, generating a contact open / close signal. One or more reed switches are installed within a sealed, non-magnetic tube. This tube is then threaded through one or more hollow float balls containing an annular magnet. The rise or fall of the liquid level drives the float balls up and down, causing the reed switch within the tube to engage or disengage, generating a switch signal, also known as a passive contact signal. Common float switches are typically located within water tanks to control the water level, providing high or low tank level alarms. They can also be used in water dispensers, air conditioners, humidifiers, atomizers, and air compressors. However, float switches can become damaged during use, disrupting the normal operation of the air conditioner. Mounting the indoor air conditioner unit on the ceiling makes maintenance inconvenient.
