The watering unit (400) has a function of supplying water to the humidifying medium (50). The watering unit 400 has a function of visualizing the humidification process. The watering unit 400 has a function of implementing a lane view inside the air wash module 200.

The watering unit 400 sucks the water inside the water tank by rotating the water ring housing 800, sucks 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 inward, sucks the sucked water upward, and then discharges the sucked water in a radially outward direction.

In this embodiment, the water ring housing 800 is rotated to spray water. Water may be sprayed by using a nozzle instead of the water ring housing 800, unlike the present embodiment. Water can be supplied to the humidifying medium 50 by spraying water from the nozzle, and the rain view can be similarly implemented. According to the embodiment, water may be sprayed from the nozzle and the nozzle may be rotated.

The water sprayed from the water ring housing 800 sweeps the humidifying medium 50. The water sprayed from the water ring housing 800 may be sprayed toward at least one of the visual body 210 and the humidifying medium 50.

The water sprayed toward the visual body 210 may implement a lane view. The water sprayed toward the humidifying medium 50 is used to humidify the filtered air. Water may be sprayed toward the visual body 210 to implement a rain view, and water flowing in the visual body 210 may be wetted with the humidifying medium 50.

In this embodiment, a plurality of jetting openings having different heights are arranged in the watering housing 800. The water ejected from any one jetting port forms a droplet on the inner surface of the visual body 210 to implement the lane view and the water discharged from the other jetting port wets the humidifying medium 50 to be used for humidification.

The water ring housing 800 injects water toward the inner surface of the visual body 210 and the water flows down along the inner surface of the visual body 210. A droplet of water droplets is formed on the inner surface of the visual body 210, and the user can see the droplet through the visual body 210.

In particular, the water flowing from the visual body 210 is used to humidify the humidifying medium 50 by wetting it. The humidifying medium 50 is wetted by the water sprayed from the watering housing 800 and the water flowing 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 formed of a material capable of viewing through the inside.

The display module 160 may be disposed outside the visual body 210. The display module 160 may be coupled to either the visual body 210 or the upper body 120.

The display module 160 is disposed on the line of sight of the lane view. In the present embodiment, the display module 160 is disposed on the upper body 120.

When the air wash module 200 is mounted, the outer surface of the visual body 210 is brought into close contact with the display module 160. At least a part of the surface of the display module 160 may be formed or coated with a material reflecting light.

The droplet formed on the visual body 210 is also projected on the surface of the display module 160. Thus, the user can observe the movement of the droplet in two places of the visual body 210 and the display module 160.

The water tank 300 is formed with an air wash inlet 31 through which air is communicated. The air wash inlet 31 is located between the connection passage 103 and the humidification passage 106. The air wash inlet 31 is an outlet of the connection passage 103 and an inlet of the humidification passage 106.

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

The humidifying medium 50 includes a water bath humidification medium 51 disposed at an inlet of the humidification channel 106 and a discharge humidifying medium 55 disposed at an outlet of the humidification channel 106. The outlet of the humidification channel (106) and the inlet of the discharge channel (107) are connected to each other. Therefore, the discharge humidifying medium 55 may be disposed in the discharge flow path 107.

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

The connection passage 103 is defined between the blowing housing 150 and the water tank humidifying medium 51. The discharge flow path 107 is defined after the discharge humidification medium 55. .

In the present embodiment, the water tank humidifying medium 51 is disposed in 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, outside, or inside as the air wash inlet 31. It is preferable that the water tank humidifying medium 51 is located inside the air wash inlet 31 because water is humidified for humidification.

It is preferable that water flowing down after wetting the water tank humidifying medium 51 is stored in the water tank 300. It is preferable that water flowing down after wetting the water tank humidifying medium 51 is disposed so as not to flow out of the water tank 300.

Thus, the water tank humidifying medium 51 provides humidification for the filtered air passing through the air wash inlet 31.

The filtered air is humidified by the water that is spontaneously evaporated in the humidifying medium (50). The natural evaporation refers to the evaporation of water in the absence of additional heat. As the contact with air increases, as the flow rate of air increases, the lower the pressure in the air, the more natural evaporation is promoted. The natural evaporation may be referred to as natural vaporization.

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

The water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are not always wetted with water stored in the water tank 300 because they are separated from the water stored in the water tank 300. [ That is, the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are wetted only when operated in the humidifying mode, and when the water tank humidifying medium 51 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 are operated in the air clean mode, As shown in Fig.

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 discharge humidifying medium 55 may be disposed at the outlet of the humidification flow path 106 or the inlet of the discharge flow path 107.

In this embodiment, the discharge humidifying medium 55 is arranged to cover the upper portion of the visual body 210. The discharge humidifying medium 55 is mounted on the visual body 210. The discharge humidifying medium 55 may be coupled to the bottom surface of the top cover assembly 230, unlike the present embodiment.

The discharge humidification medium 55 covers the discharge flow passage 107 and humidified air flows through the discharge humidification medium 55 and then into the discharge flow passage 107.

The discharging humidification medium housing 400 may be configured such that air is passed through to the outside and water can pass through the inside of the discharging humidifying medium housing 400. Air is passed from the lower side to the upper side and water is passed from the upper side to the lower side.

The discharge and humidification medium housing 400 provides a discharge flow passage 107 through which air flows outward and provides a water supply flow passage 109 through which water passes.

The discharge humidification medium housing 400 includes an upper housing 410, a lower housing 420, and a water supply cap 430. The discharge humidifying medium 55 is disposed between the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420.

The upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 may be integrally formed. The upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 may be referred to as housings.

The upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 are formed with a plurality of voids.

The upper housing 410 is formed in a donut shape as a whole.

The upper housing 410 includes an upper inner frame 412 disposed at the center, an upper housing opening 415 formed at the center of the upper inner frame 412 and providing a water supply flow passage 109, And an upper mesh frame 416 spaced apart from the inner frame 412 and disposed at the outer periphery and an upper mesh frame 416 connecting the upper inner frame 412 and the upper outer frame 414. [

The lower housing 420 is generally formed in a donut shape.

The lower housing 420 includes a lower inner frame 422 disposed at the center, a lower housing opening 425 provided at the center of the lower inner frame 422 to provide a water supply flow passage 109, A lower outer frame 424 spaced apart from the frame 422 and disposed at an outer periphery thereof and a lower mesh frame 426 connecting the lower inner frame 422 and the lower outer frame 424.

The shapes of the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 correspond to each other.

The upper housing opening 415 and the lower housing opening 425 communicate with each other.

The upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 are assembled together. In the present embodiment, the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 are fitted together. To this end, one of the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420 has fitting protrusions 411 and 413, and the other fitting groove 421 and 423 are formed.

In this embodiment, the fitting projections 411 and 413 are formed in the upper housing 410, and the fitting groove 421 is formed in the lower housing 420. The fitting protrusions are formed in the upper inner frame 412 and the upper outer frame 414, respectively. The fitting grooves are formed in the lower inner frame 422 and the lower outer frame 424, respectively.

The water supply cap 430 may be coupled to at least one of the upper housing 410 and the lower housing 420. In the present embodiment, the water supply cap 430 is detachably fitted to the lower housing 420. Unlike the present embodiment, the water supply cap 430 may be detachably installed in the upper housing 410.

A coupling protrusion 437 and a coupling groove 427 are formed for detachable coupling of the water supply cap 430 and the lower housing 420.

One of the water supply cap 430 and the lower housing 420 has a coupling protrusion 437 and the other coupling groove 427 is formed. In this embodiment, a coupling protrusion 437 is formed in the water supply cap 430 and a coupling groove 427 is formed in the lower housing 420.

The engaging projections 437 and the engaging grooves 427 form a fitting engagement with respect to the horizontal direction.

The coupling protrusion 437 protrudes radially outward of the water supply cap 430. The coupling groove 427 is formed to be open toward the center of the lower housing 420.

Three of the engaging projections 437 are arranged at equal intervals, and the engaging grooves 427 are formed correspondingly. The engaging groove 427 is formed with an engaging projection engaging portion 428 for engaging with the engaging projection 437. The engaging projection engaging portions 428 provide mutual engagement with respect to the radial direction of the lower housing 420.

The engaging projection 428 may protrude radially inward of the lower housing 420.

The user inserts the water supply cap 430 into the lower housing opening 425 and rotates the water supply cap 430 clockwise to engage the coupling protrusion 437 and the coupling groove 427. The engaging projection 437 engages with the engaging projection 428 to form an operation sound and a feeling of operation that is "clicked" while the engaging projection 437 is engaged with the engaging groove 427.

Meanwhile, the discharge humidification medium housing 400 is provided with a water supply structure 440 for temporarily storing water to be supplied and draining the stored water to the lower side.

The water supply structure 440 includes a reservoir 441 disposed on the water supply channel 109 for temporarily storing water and a water reservoir 441 for draining water from the water reservoir 441 to the water tank 30 And a water supply port 445.

The lever lever 441 may be formed on any one of the structures. In this embodiment, the water supply reservoir 441 is formed through a combination of a plurality of structures.

The water supply reservoir 441 may be formed on at least one of the upper housing 410, the lower housing 420, and the water supply cap 430 disposed on the water supply flow passage 109. The lever 441 may be formed through engagement with at least one of the upper housing 410, the lower housing 420, and the water supply cap 430 disposed on the water supply flow passage 109.

In this embodiment, the water supply reservoir 441 is formed through the combination of the lower housing 420 and the water supply cap 430.

The lower housing 420 includes a reservoir base 442 and a reservoir 444.

The reservoir base 442 and the leisure broom 444 are formed in the lower inner frame 422.

The reservoir base 442 is horizontally disposed, and the discharge humidification medium 55 is positioned above the reservoir base 442. The reservoir base 442 and the lower mesh frame 426 are connected.

The reservoir bases 442 are formed so that the reservoir bases 444 protrude upward. The lower housing opening 425 is disposed on the inside of the resilient bush 444 and the discharge humidifying medium 55 is disposed on the outside. The water supply cap 430 is positioned inside the leisure broom 444.

The water supply reservoir 441 is formed between the inside of the leisure broom 444, the upper side of the reservoir base 442, and the outside of the water supply cap 430.

The reservoir base 442 is formed with a water supply port 445, a fitting groove 423, and a coupling groove 427. The water supply port 445 and the fitting groove 423 are disposed inside the leisure broom 444 and the coupling groove 427 is disposed outside the leisure broom 444.

The water supply port 445 is formed in a slit shape. The water supply port 445 is formed to be open in the vertical direction. The water supply port 445 is formed in an arc shape when viewed in a plan view. The water supply port 445 is formed along the inner boundary of the leisure broom 444.

The width of the slit forming the water supply port 445 is 0.7 to 0.8 mm, and the length is not limited.

The water supply port 445 has a wide upper end surface and a narrower lower end surface when viewed in the vertical direction. The cross section of the water supply port 445 is formed in a hopper shape having a sharp bottom when viewed in the up-and-down direction.

The water inlet 445 may block the flow of air through this cross-sectional shape and allow water to drain downward.

When the humidifying and cleaning device is operated, the air flows from the humidification passage 106 to the discharge passage 107, and may be partially discharged through the water supply port 445. However, when water is stored in the water supply reservoir 441, no air is discharged through the water supply port 445. Because the weight of the water stored in the water reservoir 441 is larger than the air pressure.

If the cross section of the water supply port 445 is wide, air can be discharged. In this process, water stored in the water supply reservoir 441 may be scattered upward.

The water supply structure 440 according to the present embodiment can prevent water from being scattered in the water supply reservoir 441 in the direction opposite to the water supply when the humidifying and cleaning apparatus is operated.

The capacity of the water supply reservoir 441 can be adjusted to prevent air from being discharged from the water supply port 445. For example, the pressure of the water stored in the water supply reservoir 441 may be made larger than the wind pressure that can be discharged through the water supply port 445.

In addition, when the width of the water supply port 445 formed in a slit shape is narrow, the air can be caused to flow to the discharge humidifying medium 55 by the resistance. When the discharge humidification medium 55 has a gap larger than the cross-sectional area of the water supply port 445, the air flows toward the discharge humidification medium 55 with a small resistance. On the other hand, when water is stored in the water supply reservoir 441, water is drained through the water supply port 445 by its own weight.

In this manner, air can be prevented from being discharged through the water supply port 445 by various methods.

When the user supplies water over the water supply cap 430, the supplied water is temporarily stored in the water supply reservoir 441. The water stored in the water supply reservoir 441 is drained downward through a water supply port 445. The water of the water supply reservoir 441 can also be drained through the engagement groove 427 formed in the reservoir base 442. The water of the water supply reservoir 441 can also be drained through the lower housing opening 425.

When the humidifying and cleaning apparatus is in operation, some of the water supplied may be scattered to the inner side of the visual body 210 by the aberration housing 80 disposed below the reservoir base 442, (30).

When the humidifying and cleaning device is stopped, the water is dropped into the water tank 30. [

If more water than the capacity of the water reservoir 441 is supplied, it can overflow the water beyond the reservoir 444. Even if the water overflows out of the leisure broom 444, the water is dropped or flowed into the visual body 210. The water flowing along the visual body 210 is also guided into the water tub 30.

The humidifying and cleaning apparatus according to the present embodiment has an advantage that water can be supplied to the water tank 30 regardless of the operation.

In this embodiment, the discharge humidifying medium housing 400 is disposed below the top cover assembly 230. However, unlike the present embodiment, the humidifying and cleaning apparatus can be configured without the top cover assembly 230.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It should be understood that various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
