The water storage structure 20 may be fitted onto at least a portion of the outer periphery of the body 10 and may be coaxially arranged with the body 10. The water storage structure 20 is a hollow structure with a sleeve interface at one end, and may include a bottom wall 21 disposed on the bottom wall 21 and a side wall 22 extending towards the body 10. A water storage cavity 23 may be defined inside the water storage structure 20, specifically, the water storage cavity 23 may be defined by the bottom wall 21 and the side wall 22.

[0036] In some embodiments, the bottom wall 21 is provided with an opening 211, which may be located at the central axis of the bottom wall 21. Of course, it is understood that in some other embodiments, the opening 211 may not be limited to being located at the central axis of the bottom wall 21.

[0037] In some embodiments, a switch 24 may be provided in the opening 211. When the switch 24 is open, water in the water storage chamber 23 can be discharged; when the switch 24 is closed, water in the water storage chamber 23 cannot be discharged. In some embodiments, the switch 24 may be a one-way valve. Of course, it is understood that in some other embodiments, the switch 24 may not be limited to a one-way valve, and may be a sealing element that can be slidably configured to block the opening 211.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the switch 24 may include a valve body 241, a valve core 242, and an elastic element 243. The valve body 241 may be installed at the opening 211 and may fit without clearance with the inner wall of the opening 211. The valve body 241 may partially extend into the water storage chamber 231. The valve core 242 may be disposed in the valve body 241 and may be movable along the axial direction of the valve body 241. Figure 2 As shown, the valve core 242 is currently in the second position, which is the initial position. With the valve core 242 in the second position, the switch 24 is closed, and water in the water storage chamber 231 cannot be discharged. When the valve core 242 moves from the second position to the first position, the switch 24 opens, allowing water in the water storage chamber 231 to be discharged through the switch 24. When the valve core 242 moves from the first position to the second position, the valve core 242 resets, and the switch 24 closes. An elastic element 243 is disposed between the valve body 241 and the valve core 242 to drive the valve core 242 to reset.

[0039] In some embodiments, the valve body 241 may be cylindrical and may include an end wall 2411, an annular wall 2412, and a drain outlet 2413. The end wall 2411 may be located in the water storage chamber 23, and the annular wall 2412 may be disposed on the outer periphery of the end wall 2411, and may be disposed circumferentially along the end wall 2411. The drain outlet 2413 may be disposed opposite to the end wall 2411. The annular wall 2412 is provided with a water outlet hole 2414, which may communicate with the water storage chamber 23 for outputting water from the water storage chamber 23. There may be multiple water outlet holes 2414, and the multiple water outlet holes 2414 may be spaced apart circumferentially along the annular wall 2412. In some embodiments, a limiting structure 2410 may be provided on the inner side of the annular wall 2412. The position of the limiting structure 2410 may correspond to the position of the opening 211. It may be inclined toward the drain outlet 2413, and the limiting structure 2410 may retract toward the opening 211.
