[0035] Working Principle: This utility model designs an air conditioner condensate collection structure. A water tray 1 collects the water produced by the evaporator. The water in the water tray 1 flows through a water pipe to a water collection box 2. When the water level in the water collection box 2 reaches a preset position, a liquid level float sensor 5 activates a water pump 4, which pumps water into the inlet 12 of a connector 6. The outlet 7 of the connector 6 is connected to the outside of the air conditioner through a water pipe, and the water then flows out of the air conditioner from the outlet 7 along the water pipe. Throughout the process, the accurate monitoring by the liquid level float sensor 5 and the timely start and stop of the water pump 4 ensure the effective drainage of water from inside the air conditioner, avoiding the risk of water accumulation and leakage.
