Alternatively, the width of the movable lid portion 23b is greater than or equal to 1/2 of the width of the fixed lid portion 23a, so that the area of the movable lid portion 23b is larger, which is more advantageous for cleaning the inside of the box main body 21 by opening only the movable lid portion 23 b.

Further, the width of the movable cover portion 23b is less than or equal to 1.5 times the width of the fixed cover portion 23 a; since the raised portion 231 for covering the mounting lug 213 is generally provided on the fixed cover portion 23a, the movable cover portion 23b should not be too large in order to avoid over-biasing the handle 22. Optionally, the width of the movable cover portion 23b is smaller than or equal to the width of the fixed cover portion 23a, so as to facilitate the central installation of the handle 22.

Further, the movable cover portion 23b is rotatably connected to the fixed cover portion 23a, so that the movable cover portion 23b can be firstly installed on the fixed cover portion 23a, and then the box cover 23 is integrally installed on the box opening, and the assembly operation is more convenient. However, the design is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the movable lid 23b may also be rotatably connected to the box main body 21. In other embodiments, the movable cover 23b may be slidably connected to the fixed cover 23a or the box main body 21.

In the embodiment in which the movable lid portion 23b is rotatably coupled to the fixed lid portion 23a, the movable lid portion 23b may be provided with a rotating arm 236 that extends downward and is bent toward the fixed lid portion 23a, the lower surface of the fixed lid portion 23a may be provided with a mounting protrusion 237, and one end of the rotating arm 236 that is away from the movable lid portion 23b may be rotatably coupled to the mounting protrusion 237, so that the rotating structures such as the rotating arm 236 and the mounting protrusion 237 are hidden inside the case lid 23, thereby reducing the possibility of breakage of the rotating structures, extending the service life of the product, and improving the appearance of the water tank 2.

Optionally, the upper surface of the fixed cover portion 23a is provided with a lap-joint sunken groove 238 at a side edge close to the movable cover portion 23b, the side edge of the movable cover portion 23b close to the fixed cover portion 23a is provided with a lap-joint protruding rib 239, and the lap-joint protruding rib 239 overlaps with the lap-joint sunken groove 238 in the closed state of the movable cover portion 23b, so that the whole of the box cover 23 is more tightly sewed in the closed state of the movable cover portion 23b, and therefore, even if the splashing of the dehumidification water is high, the splashing of the dehumidification water from the joint of the movable cover portion 23b and the fixed cover portion 23a can be avoided, and the user experience can be improved.

Further, the maximum opening angle of the movable cover portion 23b with respect to the fixed cover portion 23a is greater than or equal to 45 °. It is understood that the maximum opening angle of the movable lid portion 23b cannot be made too small, which would otherwise be disadvantageous for cleaning the inside of the box main body 21. Alternatively, the maximum opening angle of the movable lid portion 23b with respect to the fixed lid portion 23a is 60 °, which is large, and facilitates cleaning of the inside of the box main body 21.

The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and all modifications and equivalents of the present invention, which are made by the contents of the present specification and the accompanying drawings, or directly/indirectly applied to other related technical fields, are included in the scope of the present invention.
