[0032] Referring to Figures 1-4As shown, the front part of one of the feet 103 is combined with the restraint assembly 3, and the water collecting assembly 2 is detachably combined with the corresponding foot 103 through the restraint assembly 3, so as to quickly combine the water collecting assembly 2 at the front part of the foot 103 through the restraint assembly 3 and then prevent the water collecting assembly 2 from moving. Specifically, the restraint assembly 3 comprises a mounting seat 309 and a fixing sleeve 304. The outer periphery of the rear part of the water collecting bucket 205 is fixed with the mounting seat 309, and the back of the mounting seat 309 is fixed with a matching seat 305 in the longitudinal direction. The top surface of the matching seat 305 is vertically provided with a limiting hole 308. The front surface of one of the feet 103 is horizontally fixed with the fixing sleeve 304, and the front surface of the fixing sleeve 304 is horizontally provided with a matching groove 307 in the longitudinal direction. The matching seat 305 is inserted into the matching groove 307 in the longitudinal sliding fit mode. The top surface of the fixing sleeve 304 is vertically provided with a mounting hole 306. The mounting hole 306 is in vertical communication with the matching groove 307, and the mounting hole 306 is vertically coaxial with the limiting hole 308. The mounting hole 306 is vertically coaxially inserted into a limiting rod 303 in the sliding fit mode.

Further optionally, the connecting hose 201 is a corrugated hose, and the pipe joint 202 is a quick connector, so that the connecting hose 201 has good bending deformation ability when in use, and the quick connector 202 can quickly combine and separate the connecting hose 201 with the drain pipe 105 and the electric control valve body 203. The bottom of the bucket cover 204 is not higher than the bottom end of the drain pipe 105, so that the accumulated water can smoothly fall into the water storage bucket 205 for collection.
