If the second connector 212 and / or the fourth connector 12 breaks, the snap-fit ​​between the second connector 212 and the fourth connector 12 will fail. Since the first connector 211 on one side of the float cover 21 is inserted into the third connector 11 on the base plate 1, the float cover 21 remains connected to the base plate 1. Then, use fasteners to fix the other side of the float cover 21 to the base plate 1, which facilitates the installation of the float cover 21 onto the base plate 1.

[0039] In this design, the first connector 211 can be a rod, and the third connector 11 can be a groove, with the rod inserted into the groove. Alternatively, the first connector 211 can be a groove, and the third connector 11 can be a protrusion, with the protrusion inserted into the groove.

[0040] The second connector 212 can be a slot, and the fourth connector 12 can be a buckle; or the second connector 212 can be a buckle, and the fourth connector 12 can be a slot.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first connector 211 is an insert, the second connector 212 is a slot, the third connector 11 is a slot, and the fourth connector 12 is a buckle.

[0042] When the overflow protection component 2 is installed with the base plate 1, the insert is first inserted into the slot. When the edge of the float cover 21 contacts the end face where the slot opening is located, the float cover 21 is limited on one side. Then the slot is pressed down so that the slot engages with the buckle, and the float cover 21 is fixed on the base plate 1.

[0043] The first connector 211 and the second connector 212 are spaced apart along the circumference of the float cover plate 21, thereby fixing the float cover plate 21 at different positions.

[0044] Furthermore, the first connector 211 and the second connector 212 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the float cover plate 21.

[0045] The first connector 211 and the second connector 212 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the float cover plate 21, so that the float cover plate 21 is fixed to the base plate 1 through two symmetrical positions, and the connection has high stability.

[0047] When the snap-fit ​​between the second connector 212 and the fourth connector 12 fails, the fifth connector 213 and the sixth connector 13 can be threaded together to fix the other side of the float cover 21, thus stably fixing the float cover 21 to the base plate 1. The connection is relatively convenient.

[0048] Furthermore, when the float cover plate 21 is not provided with the fifth connecting member 213 and the base plate 1 is not provided with the sixth connecting member 13, the locking member can be directly passed through the other edge of the float cover plate 21 and the base to fix the float cover plate 21 to the base.

[0049] Along the circumference of the float cover plate 21, the second connector 212 and the fifth connector 213 can be arranged adjacent to each other or spaced apart.

[0050] Preferably, the second connector 212 and the fifth connector 213 are arranged adjacent to each other along the circumference of the float cover plate 21.

[0051] Specifically, the float cover plate 21 has a first wall surface at its edge, a second connector 212 is provided on one side of the first wall surface, and a fifth connector 213 is provided on the other side of the first wall surface. After the snap-fit ​​between the second connector 212 and the fourth connector 12 fails, the fifth connector 213 can be used to connect with the sixth connector 13. The fifth connector 213 is arranged adjacent to the second connector 212, so that the fifth connector 213 is located in a position that is close to symmetrical with the first connector 211.

[0052] The fifth connector 213 can be a screw post, and the sixth connector 13 is a threaded hole.

[0053] In this embodiment, the fifth connector 213 is a threaded hole, and the sixth connector 13 is a screw post.

[0054] After the fastener passes through the threaded hole, it extends into the screw post, and the fastener and the screw post are threadedly connected, thereby locking the fastener and the screw post together.

[0055] Fasteners can be screws or bolts, etc.

[0056] Furthermore, the overflow protection assembly 2 also includes a mounting cavity 22 and a float 23; the mounting cavity 22 is located on the top of the float cover plate 21, one end of the mounting cavity 22 is provided with an opening, the other end of the mounting cavity 22 is provided with a positioning member 222, a sliding member 221 is provided inside the mounting cavity 22, the sliding member 221 can slide along the extension direction of the mounting cavity 22, and the sliding member 221 can be inserted into the positioning member 222; the bottom of the float cover plate 21 is provided with a guide member 214 and a first limiting member 215, the top surface of the float 23 is provided with a second limiting member 231, the float 23 is sleeved on the guide member 214, the float 23 can rise and fall along the extension direction of the guide member 214, and the first limiting member 215 and the second limiting member 231 can abut against each other.

[0057] The mounting cavity 22 is located on the top of the cover plate, and the top surface of the cover plate is provided with a through hole that connects to the mounting cavity 22. The micro switch 3 inside the mounting cavity 22 can contact the float 23 through the through hole.

[0058] The positioning element 222 can be a positioning pin, with a groove provided on the sliding element 221 for the positioning pin to insert into the groove; the positioning element 222 can also be a positioning groove, with a pin provided on the sliding element 221 for the pin to insert into the positioning groove, or any other suitable form. The sliding element 221 can be a slider, a slide plate, or any other suitable form.

[0059] The slider 221 is slidably connected to the mounting cavity 22. The slider 221 can slide along the extension direction of the mounting cavity 22, so that the slider can slide from one end of the mounting cavity 22 to the other end.

[0060] When installing the overflow protection component 2, the micro switch 3 is fixed to the slider 221. Then, the empty switch and the slider 221 are pushed into the mounting cavity 22, so that the positioning component 222 is inserted into the slider 221, thereby limiting and fixing the micro switch 3.

[0061] The float 23 is provided with a mounting hole 232, which is fitted onto the guide member 214, so that the float 23 can move up and down along the extension direction of the guide member 214, thereby realizing the movement of the float 23 in the cavity below the float cover plate 21.

[0062] In this embodiment, the guide member 214 extends in a vertical direction and is columnar.

[0063] After the float 23 rises to the position where the first limiting member 215 and the second limiting member 231 abut, the float 23 stops rising, thereby achieving the limiting of the float 23.

[0064] The first limiting member 215 can be a protrusion, and the second limiting member 231 can be a groove; the first limiting member 215 can also be a groove, and the second limiting member 231 can be a protrusion.
