One common dehumidification device is provided with only one detachable front water tank for directly collecting condensed water generated by the dehumidifier, and after the front water tank is full of water, a user directly takes out the front water tank, and the water in the front water tank is poured out and is then refilled. In order to make secondary use of water in the front water tank of the dehumidifier, a user generally pulls out the front water tank and inserts a water pipe and a water pump to pump water, so that the secondary use effect is achieved. In the operation process of the water tank, a user needs to bend down to pull out the front water tank, so that time and labor are wasted, in addition, the front water tank is separated from the dehumidifier body when in use, the operation is complicated when the water pump is placed, and the user experience is not facilitated, namely, the dehumidifier is not humanized.

In addition, a common dehumidifier is generally provided with two water storage tanks for storing condensed water from a condenser of the dehumidifier, wherein the two water storage tanks comprise a fixed water storage tank for directly collecting the condensed water from the condenser and a portable water storage tank for containing water discharged from the fixed water storage tank, and the portable water storage tank is also referred to as a front water tank. The water of the fixed water storage tank is discharged into the portable water storage tank, and the water of the portable water storage tank is poured out through the portable water storage tank. In the design of two water storage tanks, one common drainage mode is that an overflow port is arranged at the higher part of the fixed water tank and is communicated with the portable water storage tank, and when the water of the fixed water storage tank is higher than the overflow port, the water flows into the portable water storage tank through the overflow port. The common drainage mode can be that a water outlet for communicating an external water pipe is formed in the fixed water storage tank, and when a user needs to directly drain water to the outside, the water can be directly drained through the mode of connecting the water outlet with the external water pipe. The water in the fixed water storage tank is not easy to drain cleanly by the drainage mode of the common dehumidifier, so that the water in the fixed water storage tank is easy to become dirty water and is easy to become smelly, and bacteria are caused to breed. When the drainage capability cannot keep up with the condensate water generating capability of the condenser, overflow is easy to generate, and the use experience of a user is affected.
