The second magnet 541 is fixedly connected to the fixed rod 51. When the plug rod 55 is plugged into the plug groove 54, the first magnet 551 and the second magnet 541 attract and abut against each other, thereby increasing the stability of the plug rod 55 plugging into the plug groove 54.
[0041] When the filter screen 4 needs to be cleaned, separate the insertion rod 55 from the insertion slot 54. The insertion rod 55 releases the restriction on the fixing rod 51, and the fixing frame 41 is separated from the fixing rod 51. Then, clean the filter screen 4. After cleaning, insert the fixing rod 51 into the fixing hole 52 and the insertion rod 55 into the insertion slot 54. The first magnet 551 and the second magnet 541 attract and abut against each other.

The condensate is discharged from the first outlet pipe 22 and flows into the collection tank 3. Demineralized water enters the second-stage heat exchange box 2 through the second inlet pipe 23. The demineralized water in the second-stage heat exchange box 2 enters the first-stage heat exchange box 1 through the second connecting pipe 24. The demineralized water in the first-stage heat exchange box 1 is discharged through the second outlet pipe 14. The demineralized water in the second-stage heat exchange box 2 exchanges heat with the condensate in the second heat exchange pipe 21. The demineralized water first absorbs heat from the condensate in the second heat exchange pipe 21. The demineralized water in the first-stage heat exchange box 1 exchanges heat with the condensate in the first heat exchange pipe 13.
