[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 3The protective plate 9 has a screw hole 8 on its front side, which extends into the interior of the housing 1. A bolt 10 is threaded into the inside of the screw hole 8, and the rear side of the bolt 10 is threaded into the interior of the housing 1 through the screw hole 8. The protective plate 9 is connected to the front of the housing 1 through the screw hole 8 and the bolt 10. Due to the presence of the bolt 10, the screwing in of the bolt 10 can effectively fix the protective plate 9 at the point, thereby preventing the protective plate 9 from shifting. When it needs to be removed, the bolt 10 can be unscrewed from the screw hole 8. It also facilitates the user to clean or maintain the structure of the protective plate 9 later.

[0029] Operating principle and advantages: During use, the water collection tank 2 facilitates water accumulation, and the drain pipe 3 facilitates water discharge. The clamp 5 effectively pulls the connection point of the drain pipe 3, preventing bending. The first clamp 20 allows the second clamp 21 to be inserted into the circular groove 18. Adjusting the second clamp 21 to a position that does not correspond to the second groove 17 effectively engages the top cover 13. When cleaning or maintenance of the inside of the box 1 is required later, the second clamp 21 is adjusted to correspond to the second groove 17, and then the first clamp 20 is pulled out to remove the top cover 13. This facilitates quick and easy disassembly and assembly of the top cover 13, and also makes it easier for users to clean or maintain the inside of the box 1 later. The presence of the retaining spring 19 further reinforces the second clamp 21, thereby further improving the top cover's stability. The stability of the cover 13-point engagement is ensured by the presence of positioning block 25, which pre-defines the engagement of the top cover 13-point engagement, effectively improving the accuracy of the engagement of the first locking block 20-point engagement. The presence of sealing ring 24 effectively seals the connection point between the top cover 13 and the housing 1, resulting in a good dustproof sealing effect. The presence of baffle 7 effectively protects the exhaust fan 6-point engagement, and its filter plate 12 effectively filters dust and pollutants in the circulating air, preventing a large amount of dust or pollutants from entering the housing 1, thus effectively improving the service life of the equipment inside the housing 1. The presence of bolt 10 effectively fixes the protective plate 9-point engagement, preventing displacement of the protective plate 9. When it needs to be removed, simply unscrew the bolt 10 from the screw hole 8, which also facilitates later cleaning or maintenance of the protective plate 9 structure by the user.
