[0059] When the first channel is connected to the second channel, the first water retaining plate 18 opens the second flow port, and the second water retaining plate 19 opens the first flow port.

[0060] In the present embodiment, when the cleaning portion 4 and the water guide portion 17 are in a straight line, the first channel is disconnected from the second channel, and the cleaning portion 4 and the water guide portion 17 rotate relative to each other, that is, the cleaning portion 4 is bent relative to the water guide portion 17. At this time, the cleaning portion 4 drives the second water retaining sheet 19 away from the first flow outlet, and at the same time, the second flow outlet on the cleaning portion 4 is away from the first water retaining sheet 18. At this time, the first channel is connected to the second channel, and water is discharged from the spray hole of the cleaning portion 4 for cleaning. In this way, the first water retaining sheet 18 and the second water retaining sheet 19 rotate relative to each other through the cleaning portion 4 and the water guide portion 17, so that the first channel is connected to the second channel. When cleaning is needed, only the cleaning portion 4 needs to be rotated, and the water channel can be unblocked for cleaning. When cleaning is not needed, only the cleaning portion 4 and the water guide portion 17 need to be kept in a straight line, and the first channel and the second channel are connected and closed by rotation.
