One side of the filter housing 12 opens in a direction intersecting with the filtration flow path 102. The filter 14 may be separably coupled through the open surface of the filter housing 12. The opening surface of the filter housing 12 is formed in the lateral direction. The opening surface of the filter housing 12 is arranged on the outer surface of the lower body 130. As a result, the filter 14 is inserted through the side surface of the lower body 130 and is located inside the filter housing 12. The filter 14 is arranged so as to intersect the filtration flow path 102, and filters the air passing through the filtration flow path 102.

The filter 14 may be an electrostatic precipitator that charges an applied power source to collect foreign matter in the air. The filter 14 can be made of a material that collects foreign substances in the air through a filter material. Various structures may be arranged in the filter 14. The right of the present invention is not limited by the filtration method of the filter 14 or the filter material of the filter.

The filtration flow path 102 is arranged in the same direction as the main flow direction of the humidifying and purifying device. In the present embodiment, the filtration flow path 102 is arranged in the vertical direction and allows air to flow in the direction opposite to gravity. That is, the main flow direction of the humidifying and cleaning device is formed so as to go from the lower side to the upper side.

The ventilation unit 20 is arranged on the upper side of the filter housing 12.

The upper side surface of the filter housing 12 is formed by opening, and the air that has passed through the filtration flow path 102 flows into the blower unit 20.

The blower unit 20 generates a flow of air. The blower unit 20 is arranged inside the base body 110 and allows air to flow from the lower side to the upper side.

The blower unit 20 includes a blower housing 150, a blower motor 22, and a blower fan 24. In the present embodiment, the blower motor 22 is arranged on the upper side, and the blower fan 24 is arranged on the lower side. The motor shaft of the blower motor 22 is provided downward and is assembled with the blower fan 24.

The blower housing 150 is arranged inside the base body 110. The blower housing 150 provides a flow path for flowing air. The blower motor 22 and the blower fan 24 are arranged in the blower housing 150.

The blower housing 150 is arranged above the filter assembly 10 and below the upper body 120.

The blower housing 150 forms a blower flow path 108 inside. The blower fan 24 is arranged in the blower flow path 108. The air flow path 108 connects the filtration flow path 102 and the clean connection flow path 104.

The blower fan 24 is a centrifugal fan, and after sucking air on the lower side, the air is discharged outward in the radial direction. The blower fan 24 discharges air to the outer side and the upper side in the radial direction. The blower fan 24 is formed so that the outer end thereof faces upward in the radial direction.

The blower motor 22 is arranged above the blower fan 24 in order to minimize contact with the flowing air. The blower motor 22 is surrounded by a blower fan 24. The blower motor 22 is not located on the air flow path of the blower fan 24, and does not generate resistance with the air flowing by the blower fan 24.

The upper body 120 forms the outer shape of the base body 110, is arranged inside the upper outer body 128 and the upper outer body 128 to be coupled to the lower body 130, and the water tank 300 is inserted into the connecting flow path 103. The provided upper inner body 140 is provided with an air guide 170 that combines the upper inner body 140 and the upper outer body 128 to guide air to the water tank 300.

Since the upper body 120 is arranged separately from the connecting flow path and the water tank insertion space, it is possible to minimize the inflow of water from the water tank 300 into the connecting flow path. In particular, since the connecting flow path is partitioned via the upper inner body and arranged outside the space where water is stored, it is possible to suppress the inflow of water into the connecting flow path.

The upper inner body 140 is formed with an opening on the upper side, and the water tank 300 is inserted into the upper inner body 140. The upper inner body 140 forms a part of the clean connecting flow path 104 into which the filtered air flows.

The air guide 170 guides the air supplied through the clean connecting flow path 104 to the upper inflow port 121. The air guide 170 collects the air raised along the outside of the base body 110 inside. The air guide 170 switches the flow direction of the air flowing from the lower side to the upper side. However, although the air guide 170 switches the air flow direction, the angle is minimized to minimize the air flow resistance.

The air guide 170 is formed so as to surround the outside of the upper inner body 140 by 360 degrees. The air guide 170 guides air to the water tank 300 in all directions of 360 degrees. The air guide 170 collects the air guided along the outside of the lower body 130 inside and supplies it to the water tank 300. With such a structure, a sufficient flow rate of air supplied to the water tank 300 can be secured.

The diameter of the upper inner body ring 126 and the diameter of the upper end of the air guide 170 match or are similar. The air guide 170 and the upper inner body ring 126 are brought into close contact with each other to prevent leakage of filtered air. The upper inner body ring 126 is arranged inside the air guide 170.

A handle 129 may be formed on the upper outer body 128. When the air wash module 200 is placed on the upper body 120, the entire humidifying and cleaning device can be lifted via the handle 129.

In the upper inner body 140, a water tank insertion space 125 is formed inside so that the water tank 300 can be inserted.

A clean connecting flow path 104 is arranged on the outside and a water tank insertion space 125 is arranged on the inside with respect to the upper inflow port 121. The air flowing along the clean connecting flow path 104 passes through the upper inflow port 121. When the water tank 300 is placed in the water tank insertion space 125, the filtered air that has passed through the upper inflow port 121 flows into the water tank 300.

The watering unit 400 rotates the watering housing 800 to suck in the water inside the water tank, pumps the sucked water upward, and injects the pumped water outward in the radial direction. The watering unit 400 includes a watering housing 800 that sucks water inside, pumps the sucked water upward, and then ejects the sucked water outward in the radial direction.

In this embodiment, the watering housing 800 is rotated in order to inject water. Unlike the present embodiment, water may be sprayed using a nozzle instead of the watering housing 800. Water can be sprayed by a nozzle to supply water to the humidifying medium 50, and rain view can be realized in the same manner. Depending on the embodiment, water can be sprayed by the nozzle to rotate the nozzle.

The water sprayed from the watering housing 800 wets the humidifying medium 50. The water sprayed from the watering housing 800 can be sprayed toward at least one of the visual body 210 and the humidifying medium 50.

The water sprayed toward the visual body 210 can realize a rain view. The water sprayed toward the humidifying medium 50 is used to humidify the filtered air. After the rain view is realized by spraying water toward the visual body 210, the water flowing down from the visual body 210 can be realized to wet the humidifying medium 50.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of injection ports having different heights are arranged in the watering housing 800. The water discharged from any one injection port forms droplets on the inner surface of the visual body 210 to realize a rain view, and the water discharged from the remaining one injection port wets the humidifying medium 50 to humidify. Used for.

The watering housing 800 injects water toward the inner surface of the visual body 210, and the injected water flows downward along the inner surface of the visual body 210. Droplets bound in the form of water droplets are formed on the inner surface of the visual body 210, and the user can see the droplets through the visual body 210.

In particular, the water that has flowed down from the visual body 210 wets the humidifying medium 50 and is used for humidification. The humidifying medium 50 can be wetted by the water jetted from the watering housing 800 and the water flowing down from the visual body.

The visual body 210 is coupled to the water tank 300 and is located above the water tank 300. At least a part of the visual body 210 is made of a material that allows the inside to be seen through.

The display module 160 may be arranged outside the visual body 210. The display module 160 can be coupled to any one of the visual body 210 and the upper body 120.

The display module 160 is arranged on the line of sight where the rain view can be observed. In this embodiment, the display module 160 is arranged on the upper body 120.

When the air wash module 200 is stationary, the outer surface of the visual body 210 is brought into close contact with the display module 160. At least a portion of the surface of the display module 160 can be formed or coated with a material that reflects light.

The droplets bound to the visual body 210 are also projected onto the surface of the display module 160. As a result, the user can observe the movement of the droplets at two locations, the visual body 210 and the display module 160.

The water tank 300 is formed with an air wash inlet 31 through which air can pass. The air wash inlet 31 is located between the connecting flow path 103 and the humidifying flow path 106. The air wash inlet 31 is an outlet of the connecting flow path 103 and an inlet of the humidifying flow path 106.

The filtered air supplied from the air clean module 100 flows into the air wash module 200 via the air wash inlet 31.

The humidifying medium 50 includes a water tank humidifying medium 51 arranged at the inlet of the humidifying flow path 106 and a discharge humidifying medium 55 arranged at the outlet of the humidifying flow path 106. The outlet of the humidification flow path 106 and the inlet of the discharge flow path 107 are connected to each other. As a result, the discharge humidifying medium 55 may be arranged in the discharge flow path 107.

Since the connecting flow path 103, the humidifying flow path 106, and the discharge flow path 107 are not formed via a structure such as a duct, it is difficult to clearly distinguish the boundaries thereof. However, when the humidification flow path 106 in which humidification is performed is defined as between the water tank humidification medium 51 and the discharge humidification medium 55, the connection flow path 103 and the discharge flow path 107 are naturally defined.

The connecting flow path 103 is defined as being between the blower housing 150 and the water tank humidifying medium 51. The discharge flow path 107 is defined as the discharge humidifying medium 55 or later.

In the present embodiment, the water tank humidifying medium 51 is arranged at the air wash inlet 31 of the water tank 300.

The water tank humidifying medium 51 may be located on at least one of the same plane as the air wash inlet 31, the outside, and the inside. Since the water tank humidifying medium 51 is wetted with water for humidification, it is preferably located inside the air wash inlet 31.

After wetting the water tank humidifying medium 51, the water that has flowed down is preferably stored in the water tank 300. After wetting the water tank humidifying medium 51, it is preferable that the water that has flowed down is arranged so as not to flow down to the outside of the water tank 300.

As a result, the water tank humidifying medium 51 provides humidification to the filtered air passing through the air wash inlet 31.

The filtered air is humidified by the water naturally evaporated in the humidifying medium 50. The natural evaporation means that water is evaporated without applying another heat. As the contact with air increases, the flow velocity of air increases, and the pressure in the air decreases, natural evaporation is promoted. The natural evaporation may be referred to as natural vaporization.

The humidifying medium 50 promotes the natural evaporation of water. In the present embodiment, the humidifying medium 50 is wetted with water, but is not immersed in the water tank 300.

Since the water is separated from the water stored in the water tank 300 and arranged separately, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are not always wet even if there is water stored in the water tank 300. That is, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are in a wet state only when operated in the humidification mode, and the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are dried when operated in the air cleaning mode. Can be maintained in a state.

The water tank humidifying medium 51 covers the air wash inlet 31, and air flows into the water tank 300 through the water tank humidifying medium 51.

The watering housing 800 is configured to inject water stored in the water tank 300. The watering housing 800 is arranged with a structure for efficiently pumping water stored in the water tank 300.

The watering housing 800 is rotated by transmitting the rotational force of the watering motor 42, and at the time of rotation, the water stored in the water tank 300 can be sucked into the inside and then pumped upward. The water pumped into the watering housing 800 is discharged through the injection port 410.

A pumping means is arranged in the watering housing 800. The pumping means pumps the water in the water tank 300 upward. Various methods of pumping water from the aquarium can be realized.

For example, water can be pumped after being pumped through the pump.

For example, the watering housing can be rotated to pump water by forming friction or mutual interference with the water during rotation.

In this embodiment, a structure is proposed in which water is pumped by the rotation of the watering housing 800. In this embodiment, the pumping means is a pumping groove 810 that pushes the water upward through friction or mutual interference with the water.

A pumping groove 810, which is a pumping means, is formed on the inner surface of the watering housing 800. The pumping groove 810 improves pumping efficiency. The pumping groove 810 is formed so as to project from the inner side surface of the watering housing 800. The pumping groove 810 is formed so as to extend in the vertical direction. The pumping groove 810 is arranged radially with respect to the watering motor shaft 43 or the power transmission shaft 640.

The lower end of the watering housing 800 forms a suction interval 801 at a predetermined interval from the bottom surface of the water tank 300. The water in the water tank 300 is sucked into the watering housing 800 through the suction interval 801.

The watering housing 800 is formed so that the lower side is open. The watering housing 800 is cup-shaped. The watering housing 800 has a shape in which the cup is placed upside down. A housing space 805 is formed inside the watering housing 800.

The column 35 of the water tank 300 is located inside the watering housing 800, and the power transmission module 600 is arranged inside the column 35. The watering housing 800 is arranged so as to surround the column 35.

The watering housing 800 is formed so that the flat cross section expands toward the upper side. The column 35 is formed so that the flat cross section is reduced toward the upper side. The shapes of the watering housing 800 and the column 35 are shapes for effectively pumping water. The volume of the housing space 805 is increased toward the upper side.

When the watering housing 800 is rotated, the water sucked into the water is brought into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the watering housing 800 by centrifugal force. The pumping groove 810 formed on the inner peripheral surface of the watering housing 800 provides a rotational force to the water sucked inside.

The watering housing 800 is formed with an injection port 410 for discharging the sucked water to the outside. In the present embodiment, the injection port 410 is arranged so as to discharge water in the horizontal direction. The water pumped up through the injection port 410 is discharged to the outside.

In the present embodiment, the water discharged from the injection port 410 can be injected into the visual body 210.

The number of the injection ports 410 can be adjusted according to the design conditions. In the present embodiment, a plurality of the injection ports 410 are arranged in the watering housing 800 with a difference in height. The injection port arranged on the upper side of the watering housing 800 is defined as the second injection port, and the injection port arranged in the middle of the watering housing is defined as the first injection port.

When the watering housing 800 is rotated above the first rotation speed, water may be ejected from the first injection port. When the watering housing 800 is rotated above the second rotation speed, water may be ejected from the second injection port.

The second rotation speed is higher than the first rotation speed.

Water is discharged from the second injection port only when the watering housing 800 is rotated at high speed. At the speed at which the watering housing 800 is normally rotated, water can be arranged so as not to be discharged through the second injection port. The first injection port discharges water at all stages when the watering housing is always operated.

A plurality of the second injection ports may be arranged. A plurality of the first injection ports may be arranged.

If the watering housing 800 is rotated at a normal rotational speed, the pumped water is raised at least higher than the first injection port. If the watering housing 800 is rotated at high speed, the pumped water is raised above the height of the second injection port.

A plurality of the second injection ports may be arranged in the circumferential direction of the watering housing 800. A plurality of the first injection ports may be arranged in the circumferential direction of the watering housing 800.

If the watering housing 800 is not rotated, water will not be discharged through the injection port 410. If the user operates only in the clean mode (the mode in which the air clean module is operated and the air wash module is stopped), the watering unit 40 is not operated and only the blower unit 20 is operated. When the user operates only in the humidification mode, the watering housing 800 is rotated and water is discharged through the injection port 410. When the user simultaneously operates the cleaning mode and the humidifying mode, the water discharged from the injection port 410 can be sprayed onto the inner surface of the visual body 210.

Since the watering housing 800 is rotated, the water discharged from the injection port 410 hits the inner surface of the visual body 210 and is moved along the inner surface of the visual body 210.

The user can visually confirm that the water is ejected through the visual body 210. Such a jet of water means that it is operating in humidification mode. The user can intuitively confirm that the humidification mode is in operation through the injection of water.

Droplets are bound to the visual body 210 by the sprayed water, and the droplets flow downward.

The air in the humidifying flow path 106 in which the watering housing 800 is arranged flows almost toward the discharge flow path 107 due to the flow of the blower fan 24, but the air around the watering blade 850 flows in the opposite direction. obtain. The watering blade 850 can locally form an air flow opposite to the air flow by the blower fan 24. Depending on the shape of the watering blade 850, air can be flowed in the same direction as the flow by the blower fan 24. Also at this time, the rotation of the watering blade 850 can cause the air around the watering housing 800 to collect on the surface of the watering housing 800.

The air flow by the watering blade 850 has an effect of causing water particles around the watering housing 800 to flow into the water tank 300. The rotation of the watering blade 850 has the effect of generating an air volume and drawing in water particles around the watering housing 800.

As a result, the air flow by the watering blade 850 serves to collect the falling water on the watering housing 800 side when the water falls from the water supply flow path 109 to the upper part of the watering housing 800.

When the watering housing 800 is rotated and water is supplied through the water supply flow path 109, the water may hit the surface of the watering housing 800 and scatter irregularly. The air flow by the watering blade 850 can collect scattered water particles on the surface side of the watering housing 800 at the time of water supply.

The second watering housing 840 is formed with a second injection port 412, 413. The second injection port 412, 413 injects water toward the visual body 210. In this embodiment, two of the second injection ports 412 and 413 are arranged. One of the second injection ports is referred to as a second injection port 412, and the remaining one is defined as a 2-2 injection port 413.

The 2-1 injection port 412 and the 2-2 injection port 413 are arranged so as to face each other in opposite directions. The 2-1 injection port 412 and the 2-2 injection port 413 can be arranged symmetrically with respect to the power transmission shaft 640.

In the present embodiment, the injection port 412 of the 2-1 and the injection port 413 of the 2-2 form a predetermined height difference. The 2-1 injection port 412 and the 2-2 injection port 413 are not arranged at the same height.

By forming a height difference between the injection port 412 of the 2-1 and the injection port 413 of the 2-2, the position of the water that hits the visual body 210 can be set differently. As a result, when the watering housing 800 is rotated, the water jetted from the injection port 412 of the 2-1 and the water jetted from the injection port 413 of the second-2 pass through different paths. Become.

The locus of water that hits the inner surface of the visual body 210 from the second injection port 412, 413 is defined as an injection line.

The injection line formed by the second injection port 412 is defined as the first injection line, and the injection line formed by the second injection port 413 is defined as the second injection line.

In the present embodiment, after the water jetted from the injection port 412 of the 2-1 has passed through any one of the visual bodies 210, the injection port 413 of the second-2 has a different height after a predetermined time. The water sprayed from will pass through. That is, two injection lines are formed on the inner surface of the visual body 210, and the user can effectively recognize that water is injected through such a visual effect.

When water is discharged from two second injection ports arranged at a constant height, only one injection line is formed. If the watering housing 800 is rotated at high speed, the phase difference can be formed to be extremely short even if the first and second injection ports 142 and 143 are located in opposite directions. In this case, it is possible to cause an optical illusion that water flows down from one injection line.

On the other hand, when the two injection lines are formed, the positions where the water hits are different, so that the sounds generated by the hits are also formed differently. That is, the sound generated from the first injection line and the sound generated from the second injection line are formed so as to be different. Through such an acoustic difference, the user can also aurally confirm that the watering housing 800 is rotated.

When only one injection line is formed, the same sound is continuously generated, so that the user cannot recognize it or can mistake it as a simple deception.

The acoustic difference through the plurality of injection lines has an effect of effectively transmitting the operating condition to a person with low vision or a hearing impaired person. In addition, it can be easily confirmed that the humidifying / cleaning device is operating even in the absence of light.

On the other hand, a water film suppressing rib 870 that suppresses the water film rotational flow is formed inside the second watering housing 840. The water film rotational flow means a flow rotated along the inner surface of the watering housing 800.

The pumping groove 810 of the first watering housing 820 is for forming the water film rotational flow, and the water film suppressing rib 870 is for suppressing the water film rotational flow.

In the first watering housing 820, water must be pumped up to the second watering housing 840, so that the water film rotational flow is positively generated, but the second watering housing 840 The water that has risen to the above can be easily injected through the first and second injection ports 412 and 413 so that the water film rotational flow is not formed.

When a high-speed water film rotational flow is formed inside the second watering housing 840, water is not discharged through the second injection port but flows along the inside.

Further, the more water stays in the second watering housing 840, the greater the vibration of the watering housing 800 is formed. The eccentricity of the watering housing 800 can be minimized and the vibration caused by the water can be minimized only when the water pumped up to the second watering housing 840 is rapidly injected through the second injection ports 412 and 413. Can be done.

The water film suppressing rib 870 functions to minimize the water film rotational flow and thereby minimize the eccentricity and vibration of the watering housing 800.

The water film suppressing rib 870 is formed so as to project from the inner surface of the second watering housing 840. In the present embodiment, the water film suppressing rib 870 is formed so as to project toward the power transmission shaft 640. The water film suppressing rib 870 is formed in a direction intersecting the water film rotational flow.

Where the water film rotational flow flows spirally or circularly along the inner surface of the second watering housing 840, it is preferable that the water film suppressing rib 870 is formed in the vertical direction.

In the present embodiment, the water film suppressing rib 870 is formed in the vertical direction. A plurality of the water film suppressing ribs 870 may be formed. In this embodiment, three water film suppressing ribs 870 are arranged. The plurality of water film suppressing ribs 870 are arranged at equal intervals with respect to the inner peripheral surface of the watering housing.

In the present embodiment, the protruding length of the water film suppressing rib 870 is 5 mm. The protruding length of the water film suppressing rib 870 is related to the thickness of the water film rotational flow, and can be variously changed depending on the embodiment.

In the present embodiment, the water film suppressing rib 870 is formed by being connected to the watering power transmission unit 880. Unlike the present embodiment, the water film suppressing rib 870 and the watering power transmission unit 880 can be arranged separately.

In the present embodiment, the mold can be simplified by manufacturing the water film suppressing rib 870 so as to be connected to the watering power transmission unit 880.

The watering power transmission unit 880 is configured to transmit the rotational force of the power transmission shaft 640 to the watering housing 800.

In the present embodiment, the watering power transmission unit 880 is connected to the second watering housing 840. Unlike the present embodiment, the watering power transmission unit 880 can also be connected to the first watering housing 820.

In the present embodiment, the watering power transmission unit 880 is manufactured integrally with the second watering housing 840. Unlike the present embodiment, the watering power transmission unit 880 can be assembled separately in the second watering housing 840 after being manufactured separately.

The watering power transmission unit 880 includes a bush installation unit 882 located at the center of the axis of the watering housing 800, and a watering connection unit 884 that connects the bush installation unit 882 and the watering housing 800. In the present embodiment, the bush installation portion 882, the watering connecting portion 884, and the second watering housing 820 are ejected and integrally manufactured.

The watering connecting portion 884 is manufactured in a rib form. The watering connecting portions 884 are arranged radially with respect to the axis center, and a plurality of the watering connecting portions 884 are formed.

In the present embodiment, the watering connecting portion 884 is manufactured integrally with the water film suppressing rib 870. The watering connecting portion 884 and the water film suppressing rib 870 are connected and formed.

The power transmission shaft 640 is provided so as to penetrate the bush installation portion 882.

The lower side of the bush installation portion 882 is formed by opening. The bush 90 is inserted through the open lower side of the bush installation portion 882.

The bush installation portion 882 and the bush 90 can be separated in the vertical direction. The bush installation portion 882 and the bush 90 form mutual locking in the rotation direction.

For this purpose, the bush locking portion 93 is formed in any one of the bush mounting portions 882 and the bush 90, and the bush locking groove 883 is formed in the other one. In the present embodiment, the bush locking portion 93 is formed in the bush 90, and the bush locking groove 883 is formed in the bush setting portion 882.

The bush locking groove 883 is formed on the inner side surface of the bush installation portion 882 and has a recessed shape. The bush locking portion 93 is formed on the outer surface of the bush 90 and has a bulging shape.

The bush locking portion 93 is inserted into and sandwiched in the bush locking groove 883.

Unlike the present embodiment, the bush installation portion 882 and the bush 90 can be integrally manufactured. Since the bush 90 is made of a metal material, when the second watering housing 840 is manufactured, the bush 90 is placed in the mold, and then the second watering housing material is injected to integrally manufacture the bush 90. be able to.

The bush 90 is coupled to the power transmission shaft 640 of the power transmission module 600.

The bush 90 is coupled to the power transmission shaft 640 to transmit a rotational force. The bush 90 is preferably made of a metal material. If it is not a hard metal material, wear can occur, which causes vibration.

The bush 90 is formed with a hollow bush shaft penetrating in the vertical direction. The power transmission shaft 640 is inserted into the hollow of the bush shaft.

The bush 90 reduces vibration when the watering housing 800 is rotated. The bush 90 is located on the power transmission shaft 640. In this embodiment, the bush 90 is located at the center of gravity of the watering housing 800. Since the bush 90 is located at the center of gravity of the watering housing 800, the vibration of the watering housing 800 can be significantly reduced during rotation.

The bush 90 and the power transmission shaft 640 are assembled by fitting. The bush 90 is supported by the power transmission shaft 640.

In order to support the bush 90, the power transmission shaft 640 is formed with a shaft support end 642. The diameter on the upper side is small and the diameter on the lower side is large with respect to the shaft support end 642.

The bush 90 is inserted via the upper end of the power transmission shaft 640.

The shaft support end 642 can be formed into a taper, champer, or round shape to minimize wear. When the shaft support end 642 is formed at a right angle, wear may occur during the assembly process or the operation process.

When the shaft support end 642 is worn, it causes the bush 90 to generate vibration while moving. Further, when the shaft support end 642 is worn, the bush 90 can be tilted or moved, which can cause misalignment with the power transmission shaft 640. Further, when the bush 90 and the power transmission shaft 640 are misaligned, eccentricity is generated during rotation, and vibration due to this is generated.

The watering housing cover 860 is coupled to the upper side of the second watering housing 840 and seals the upper side of the second watering housing 840. The watering housing cover 860 is screw-coupled to the second watering housing 840.

In this embodiment, the watering housing cover 860 is assembled with the power transmission module 600. Unlike the present embodiment, the watering housing cover 860 may form a state separated from the power transmission module 600.

When the watering housing cover 860 is coupled to the power transmission shaft 640, the eccentricity and vibration of the watering housing 800 can be reduced more effectively.

The watering housing cover 860 is formed by forming a cover body 862 that covers the upper opening of the second watering housing 840 and extending downward from the cover body 862, and is formed of the second watering housing 840. A cover body border 863 that surrounds the upper end, a packing installation rib 864 that is formed under the cover body 862 and is formed at a predetermined distance from the cover body border 863, and a shaft that is fixed to the power transmission shaft 640. A fixing portion 866 and a reinforcing rib 868 connecting the shaft fixing portion 866 and the packing installation rib 864 are provided.

The cover body 862 is formed in a circular shape when viewed from a plane. The diameter of the cover body 862 is formed to be larger than the diameter of the second watering housing 840.

Unlike the present embodiment, the planar shape of the cover body 862 does not have to be circular. Further, the planar shape of the watering housing 800 is not limited to a specific shape.

The cover body border 863 forms a frame of the cover body 862. The cover body border 863 is formed in a ring shape and is manufactured integrally with the cover body 862. The cover body border 863 has a plurality of protrusions 861 formed on the outer surface thereof, and the protrusions 861 are formed 360 degrees along the circumferential direction. The protrusion 861 provides the user with a grip when separating the watering housing cover 860.

Further, the protrusion 861 can effectively disperse the falling water when the upper water is supplied. The water that falls through the upper water supply falls on the watering housing cover 860 and flows to the cover body border 863 by the rotation of the watering housing 800. Then, after being separated from the protrusion 861 into a water droplet form, it is sprinkled on the inner surface of the visual body 210. The protrusion 861 can effectively disperse the water supplied to the upper part.

The packing installation rib 864 is located inside the cover body border 863 and is separated from the cover body border 863 by a predetermined distance. A second packing 865 is provided between the cover body border 863 and the packing installation rib 864.

The watering housing cover 860 and the second watering housing 840 can be hermetically sealed via the second packing 865. Since the water leakage from the housing space 805 is blocked through the first packing 825 and the second packing 865, the pressure of the water discharged through the injection port 410 can be kept constant.

If water leaks between the first watering housing 820 and the second watering housing 840, or water leaks between the second watering housing 840 and the watering housing cover 860, the water leaks from the injection port 410. It is difficult to keep the pressure of the discharged water constant.

That is, when water leaks in the watering housing 800, water may not be injected from the injection port 410 even if the watering housing 800 is rotated.

The cover body border 863 and the second watering housing 840 can be screwed together. In the present embodiment, the watering housing cover 860 and the second watering housing 840 are assembled by being restrained and fitted.

The shaft fixing portion 866 is assembled with a power transmission shaft 640, and rotational force is transmitted from the power transmission shaft 640.

The shaft fixing portion 866 and the power transmission shaft 640 can be screw-coupled. For this purpose, a thread 643 for screw coupling with the watering housing cover 860 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the power transmission shaft 640.

A thread for assembling with the power transmission shaft 640 may be formed in the shaft fixing portion 866. In the present embodiment, the shaft fixing member 867 is arranged on the shaft fixing portion 866, and the shaft fixing member 867 is double-injected into the shaft fixing portion 866 to be integrated. In the present embodiment, a nut is used for the shaft fixing member 867.

Unlike the watering housing cover 860, the shaft fixing member 867 is made of a metal material. Where the power transmission shaft 640 is made of a metal material, the portion screw-coupled to the power transmission shaft 640 can be prevented from being worn or damaged at the time of fastening only when the portion is also made of a metal material. When the entire watering housing cover 860 is made of a metal material, or when the shaft fixing portion 866 is made of a metal material, it is preferable to form a thread on the shaft fixing portion 866 itself.

The watering housing cover 860 is formed to be larger than the diameter of the second watering housing 840. When viewed from above, only the watering housing cover 860 is exposed, and the second watering housing 840 and the first watering housing 820 are not exposed.

As a result, at least a part of the water supplied to the water supply flow path 109 may fall on the watering housing cover 860. When the watering housing 800 is rotated, the water that has fallen on the watering housing cover 860 is ejected radially outward from the surface of the watering housing cover 860.

The rotated watering housing cover 860 can realize the effect that the supplied water is jetted along the rotation direction and the water falls from the umbrella. In particular, water droplets can be separated from the plurality of protrusions 861 arranged in the circumferential direction of the watering housing cover 860.

The water or the like jetted from the watering housing cover 860 in the rotational direction hits the inner surface of the visual body 210 and can produce a rain view.

The rain view means a situation in which droplets or the like bound on the inner surface of the visual body 210 appear as raindrops flow down.

In the present embodiment, the watering groove 810 is designed so that the water in the water tank 300 can be effectively pumped. In the present embodiment, the watering groove 810 is located lower than the injection port 410. In particular, the watering groove 810 is formed lower than the first injection port 411.

The watering groove 810 switches the horizontal rotational force in the vertical direction with respect to water. When the watering groove 810 is formed, water can be pumped more effectively in the vertical direction.

In the present embodiment, the watering groove 810 is formed on the inner surface of the watering housing 800 and projects inward. The watering groove 810 is formed so as to extend in the vertical direction. Unlike the present embodiment, the watering groove 810 can also be formed in a zigzag form. In the present embodiment, since the first watering housing 820 is manufactured by injection, the watering groove 810 can be arranged in the vertical direction and the mold can be easily pulled out.

If the manufacturing method changes, the watering groove 810 can be formed in various non-straight patterns to increase the projected surface area.

For example, the watering groove can be formed in dot form. The watering groove can be formed in the form of a dotted line. The watering groove can be formed by projecting a square cross section, a circular cross section, a triangular cross section, or the like inward.

The surface area of the watering groove 810 is closely related to the pumping efficiency. In particular, the surface area of the watering groove 810 is associated with the area of the watering suction port 802. The watering suction port 802 is defined as the area of the lower opening of the watering housing 800.

The total surface area of the watering groove 810 can be formed to be 77% to 129.5% with respect to the area of the watering suction port 802.

The number of watering grooves 810 can be increased in order to form the total surface area of the watering grooves 810 at the above ratio. In order to form the total surface area of the watering groove 810 at the above ratio, the protruding length of the watering groove 810 can be increased. In order to form the total surface area of the watering groove 810 at the above ratio, the vertical length of the watering groove 810 can be increased.

The vertical length of the watering groove 810 can be formed to be 100% to 30% of the height of the watering housing 800.

The area of the watering suction port 802 can be formed to be 19.5% to 32.7% with respect to the maximum area of the watering housing 800. The maximum area is the largest area in the internal surface area of the watering housing 800. In the present embodiment, the upper opening area of the second watering housing 840 is the maximum area.

The watering groove 810 is formed on the inner surface of the first watering housing 840, but is formed so as to have an inclination with respect to the vertical direction. The tilt angle of the watering groove 810 must be at least 3 degrees or more. In this embodiment, the watering groove 810 forms an inclination angle of 3 degrees.

As the watering groove 810 goes upward, an inclination angle is formed in a direction away from the power transmission shaft 640. The watering connection 884 described above, like the watering groove 810, also provides a positive effect in switching the horizontal flow of water vertically.
