The number of the water channel grooves 410 is the same as the number of the water distribution chambers 110, the plurality of water channel grooves 410 are in one-to-one correspondence with the water inlets 120 of the plurality of water distribution chambers 110 and the plurality of water channel grooves 410 are independent from each other, that is, water in each water channel groove 410 can flow into a predetermined one of the water distribution chambers 110 through the corresponding water inlet 120. Therefore, the water inlets 120 of different water distribution cavities 110 are separated by the plurality of water channel ribs 400, so that water flows into other water distribution cavities 110 when one water distribution cavity 110 is filled with water, and accurate water filling is facilitated.
However, since the plurality of water channel ribs 400 are provided, there is a limitation on the mold stripping of the split ring 280, for example, if the plurality of water channel ribs 400 are provided on a single split ring 280, the mold stripping or the mold stripping cannot be realized very difficultly, and therefore, the number of the split rings 280 needs to be reasonably divided and the position of the water inlet 120 needs to be reasonably planned.
