Therefore, the processing technology of the water retaining device 7 is facilitated to be simplified, and the cost is reduced.

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the inner diameter of the inner barrel 1 is gradually increased from bottom to top, for example, the inner barrel 1 may be configured as a cone whose radial dimension is gradually decreased in a direction from top to bottom, the drainage channel 3 includes a plurality of drainage channels (in the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more), the plurality of drainage channels 3 are spaced apart in a direction around the central axis of the inner barrel 1, and at least one drainage channel 3 is provided with the water blocking device 7. Therefore, by arranging the water blocking device 7 at the at least one drainage channel 3, the distance between the upper edge of the water collecting device 5 and the lowest point of the water blocking device 7 is increased, and the probability of water splashing outwards during drainage is reduced.

third water dams

72 and 73 may also be configured to have tapered surfaces such that the radial dimension thereof is gradually reduced in the direction from the top to the bottom, whereby the sealing connection between the second water dam 72 and the inner tub 1, and between the third water dam 73 and the inner tub 1 may be ensured.
