Thus, the water body can be guided into the distribution channel 5 through the drainage plate 7 in the drainage channel 6, so as to realize that part of the water body enters the back of the cover plate 1 from the front of the cover plate 1.

[0035] The drainage channel 6 and the distribution channel 5 are arranged in a fan shape, and the radii of the upper arc line and the lower arc line of the drainage channel 6 and the distribution channel 5 are the same.
