Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3 to 6, 8 and 11, when the plane where the partition 200 is connected to the liquid containing chamber is disposed parallel to or inclined with respect to the end wall of the clean water chamber 130 far from the sewage chamber 140, referring to fig. 8, the distance between the edge of the partition 200 and the end wall of the clean water chamber 130 far from the sewage chamber 140 is L1, the height of the liquid containing chamber in the extending direction of the first air duct 110 is L2, and when L1/L2>0.5, the volume of the sewage chamber 140 is insufficient; when the L1/L2 is less than 0.25, the volume of the clear water chamber 130 is insufficient, so that the L1/L2 is set to be 0.25-0.5. For a structure in which the plane where the partition 200 is connected to the peripheral wall of the liquid containing chamber is disposed obliquely with respect to the axis of the liquid containing chamber, the distance L1 between the partition 200 and the end wall of the clean water chamber 130 far from the sewage chamber 140 is set to be the average of the maximum distance and the minimum distance of the partition from the end wall of the clean water chamber 130 far from the sewage chamber 140.
