The flat plate (10701) above the wash basin (109) can be installed with a mirror; S4, using a shower: When using a shower, the rotating plate (107) can be first adjusted to a closed toilet (110) state, and the rotating plate (107) can be pushed to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the block (113) is aligned with the fixed plate (11201) in the limiting mechanism (112) at the first side plate (101), and the pull handle (11208) is released, and the spring (11204) recovers its deformation, pushing the limiting plate (11205) to move downward, driving the protrusion (11206) to be stuck in the groove (11301) at the top of the block (113), and at the same time, the bottom block (11202) contacts the bottom end of the block (113), and the top block (11203) contacts the top end of the block (113), completing the fixing of the rotating plate (107), and restoring the toilet to a shower state, so as to prevent the shower water from contaminating the toilet (110) and the wash basin (109).
