a movable platform located on top of the water collection tank and movably arranged on the base to move between a first position and a second position, and the movable platform having a drainage channel penetrating through a top surface and a bottom surface thereof; and
a guiding member pivotally attached to the bottom surface of the movable platform and configured to swing upward and downward between a first state and a second state relative to the movable platform, such that the guiding member is in the first state when the movable platform is at the first position, and the guiding member is in the second state when the movable platform is at the second position, wherein:
the guiding member has a diversion channel communicated with the drainage channel; and
a first end of the guiding member having a first diversion opening communicated with the diversion channel, and a second end of the guiding member having a second diversion opening communicated with the diversion channel, such that the first diversion opening is located on top of the water collection tank and a vertical distance between the first diversion opening and the movable platform is greater than a vertical distance between the second diversion opening and the movable platform when the guiding member is in the first state, and the second diversion opening is located on top of the water collection tank and a vertical distance between the second diversion opening and the movable platform is greater than a vertical distance between the first diversion opening and the movable platform when the guiding member is in the second state;
a first guiding piece and a second guiding piece, wherein:
the first guiding piece and the second guiding piece are respectively secured to a front side and a rear side of the base one after another and respectively located at a left side and an opposite right side of the guiding member;
a side surface of the guiding member having a first inclined slot, the first inclined slot extending from the second end of the guiding member toward the first end of the guiding member and inclined upward;
another opposite side surface of the guiding member having a second inclined slot, the second inclined slot extending from the first end of the guiding member toward the second end of the guiding member and inclined upward,
such that the guiding member is in the first state when the first guiding member is inserted into the first inclined slot, and the guiding member is in the second state when the second guiding member is inserted into the second inclined slot;
wherein the second end of the guiding member includes a first conical opening communicated with the first inclined slot, a width of the first conical opening increases along a direction away from the first inclined slot; and
the first end of the guiding member includes a second conical opening communicated with the second inclined slot, a width of the second conical opening increases along a direction away from the second inclined slot.
