[0034] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The drainage assembly includes a guide rail 16, which provides an installation base for an electronic slider 17. The outer wall of the guide rail 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The electronic slider 17 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail 16. The electronic slider 17 drives a scraper 18 to slide. The scraper 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the electronic slider 17 and scrapes away dirt and sediment. The other end of the scraper 18 is fixedly connected to a rack 19, which drives a gear 20 to rotate.
