After the sand is scraped off, the rotating block is pressed upward by hand, and the piston moves upward at the same time and disengages from the depression at the upper end of the base. The sand in the upper shell flows out from the holes of the base with the water flow. After cleaning is completed, the piston descends and re-engages with the depression at the upper end of the base to prevent water from overflowing, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the sand inside the outer shell.
[0020] 2. The installation mechanism facilitates the installation and disassembly of the glass mirror.

When the water drops on the inside of the glass mirror need to be removed, press the guide rod, and the rack moves upward at the same time to push the annular magnet upward, thereby facilitating the annular magnet to separate from the adsorption of the protrusion in the upper shell. After taking out the glass mirror, wipe off the water drops on the inside of the glass mirror, and then put the glass mirror back in place, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly of the glass mirror.
