Hereinafter will be described the operation of the nozzle assembly and the humidifier according to the present invention.

The fresh water in the bucket 110 is supplied to the atomization unit 120 of the humidifier body 101 through a drain pipe (not shown).

The atomization unit 120 atomizes water to generate humidified particles. The atomized humidifying particles enter the spray tube. The humidifying particles entering the spray tube are sprayed out of the humidifier body 101 through the nozzle assembly 200.

When spraying according to the user's taste or need, the operation of operating the linear spray or fractional spray in detail as follows.

3 shows a straight spray, in which the fountain spray member 230 is pressed downward, and both the compression spring 257 and the reinforcement spring 258 are compressed.

The teeth 253 are in contact with the rotation bar 251. Then, the locking projection 252 of the rotation bar 251 is maintained in the locked state 255.

At this time, the fountain spray hole 231 of the upper nozzle 232 of the fountain spray member 230 is closed (blocked) to the guide wall 223 of the straight spray member 220.

On the other hand, the blocking film 238 of the insert nozzle 236 opens the straight spray hole 221 of the straight spray member 220.

Therefore, the humidifying particles introduced into the spray tube 130 are sprayed out of the nozzle assembly 200 through the straight spray hole 221 of the straight spray member 220 in the direction of the arrow.

On the other hand, if you want to spray the fountain according to the user's taste or need, further press the upper nozzle 232 downward in the state of Figure 3, the teeth 253 press the rotation bar 251 downward, at this time The rotation bar 251 is rotated (rotated) by about one tooth of the tooth portion 253.

At this time, since the compression spring 257 elastically supports the rotation bar 251 upward, the locking protrusion 252 of the rotation bar 251 that is locked to the locking part 255 is separated from the locking part 255.

At the same time, the rotation bar 251 as well as the fountain spray member 230 are lifted upward by the compression spring 257 (see FIG. 4).

At this time, the reinforcement spring 258 serves to reinforce the force for raising the fountain spray member 230.

When the fountain spray member 230 rises, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper nozzle 232 of the fountain spray member 230 is guided by the guide wall 223 of the straight spray member 220 and the guide is simultaneously provided. The fountain spray hole 231 which was closed by the wall 223 is opened.

On the other hand, the blocking film 238 of the insert nozzle 236 of the fountain spray member 230 closes (blocks) the straight spray hole 221 of the straight spray member 220.

Therefore, the humidifying particles introduced into the spray tube are sprayed out of the nozzle assembly 200 through the fountain spray hole 231 of the fountain spray member 230 in the direction of the arrow.

In the above it was shown and described for the embodiment of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited only to the above-described embodiment, and those skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs, variously without departing from the spirit of the technical idea of the present invention described in the utility model registration claims below Changes may be made.

As described above, according to the present invention, since the linear spray or the fountain spray can be selectively performed according to the user's taste or need by a simple operation of pressing the upper nozzle, it is suitable for the consumer's preference for various functions.

In addition, the spray selection operation is very easy and simple to obtain the convenience of use.
