1. A water inlet assembly (T) comprising a body (1) in the form of a hollow closed chamber having a first opening (1a) on a top side thereof; and a connection area (1b) located on a surface of the body (1), and including a hole in the surface of the body for fluid connection with a washing device; a cover assembly (2) positioned to close the first opening (1a), in communication with the body (1) through the first opening (1a), the cover assembly (2) including:
a cover body (2a) closing the first opening (1a),
a water inlet section (2b) forming a chamber extending from one side of the cover body (2a),
a second opening (2d) located on the water inlet section (2b) and allowing air to enter an interior of the water inlet section (2b),
a condensation section (2e) in the form of a chamber, extending downward into the body (1) from a second side of the cover body (2a), and
a third opening (2f) located on the cover body (2a) where the condensation section (2e) is situated,
wherein the condensation section (2e) comprises a first conduit (2g) that is elongated and extends substantially linearly perpendicular to a direction of gravity and a second conduit (2h) that is elongated and extends linearly, the second conduit having a first end and a second end, the second conduit positioned parallel to the first conduit (2g) and above the first conduit, the second conduit fluidly connected to the first conduit, wherein the condensation section is configured to condense moist air that flows upwards from the hollow closed chamber, first through the first conduit (2g) and then through the second conduit (2h) before exiting the condensation section (2e).
