The spherical structure 73 of the upper air leakage preventing unit moves toward the first water pipe 61 by its own weight, and the first water pipe 61 can be sealed because the outer diameter of the spherical structure 73 is larger than the inner diameter of the first water pipe 61, and particularly, after the drain pump 67 is started, the spherical structure 73 can more tightly seal the first water pipe 61 under the suction force of the drain pump 67 to prevent the first water pipe 61 from air leakage. Of course, the outer diameter of the spherical structure 73 may be larger than the inner diameter of the communication chamber 71, so that the spherical structure 73 can directly seal the communication chamber 71, that is, indirectly seal the first water pipe 61, and also prevent the first water pipe 61 from leaking air.

In another preferred embodiment, the second leakage preventing member is also a spherical structure 73, but the communication chamber 71 is provided as a tapered chamber, that is, the inner diameter of the communication chamber 71 is gradually increased from one end to the other end, the end with a smaller inner diameter is referred to as a first end, the end with a larger inner diameter is referred to as a second end, the first end is communicated with the first water pipe 61, the diameter of the spherical structure 73 is larger than the inner diameter of the first end but smaller than the inner diameter of the second end, and when the spherical structure 73 moves toward the first water pipe 61, the spherical structure 73 stays at the middle position of the communication chamber 71 due to the gradually decreased inner diameter of the communication chamber 71, indirectly sealing the first water pipe 61.
