DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The utility model will be further described below with specific embodiments, referring to Figure 1 -4:

[0021] A condensate water collector, including the collecting shell 1 with inner chamber, the upper and lower both ends of the collecting shell 1 are provided with water inlet joint 2 and water outlet joint 3 that communicate with the inner chamber respectively, the upper part of the collecting shell 1 is provided with two conductive columns at intervals, and the outer end of the two conductive columns is electrically connected with the positive circuit and the negative circuit, and the inner end of the two conductive columns extends into the inner chamber of the collecting shell 1 and forms a trigger horizontal point located above the inner port of the water outlet joint 3, when the liquid level in the inner chamber of the collecting shell 1 rises to the trigger horizontal point, the two conductive columns contact the liquid level and are electrified.

[0022] Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the water inlet joint 2 is provided with two and is horizontally parallel distribution, and the two water inlet joints 2 are used for communicating with the condensate water in the wall-hanging stove and for communicating with the backflow water of the exhaust pipe respectively.

[0023] The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, reasonable design and low cost, and by means of two conductive columns as detection elements, when the water outlet joint 3 is blocked, the liquid level in the collecting shell 1 will rise and make the two conductive columns contact the liquid level and be electrified, so that the precise and timely detection function of waterway blockage is realized.

[0024] The conductive column can be a conductive tab 5. In this embodiment, the conductive column is a conductive screw 4 fixed vertically at the top surface of the collecting shell 1. The conductive screw 4 is sleeved with an electrode tab 5 clamped between the head of the conductive screw 4 and the collecting shell 1. The electrode tab 5 is electrically connected with the positive electrode circuit or the negative electrode circuit.

[0025] To reduce the noise caused by the liquid impact on the collecting shell 1, the water inlet joint 2 and the water outlet joint 3 are arranged vertically. The inner port of the water inlet joint 2 extends downward to form a water inlet extension 6. The inner port of the water outlet joint 3 extends upward to form a water outlet extension 7. The port of the water inlet extension 6 is lower than the port of the water outlet extension 7.
