A spray humidifying device 200 for sucking and spraying humidifying water stored in the storage type water tank 100;

A power transmission device 300 for transmitting power to the spray humidifier device 200;

An air blower 400 for purifying the air inside the humidifier and circulating the fine particle flow of the humidifying water sprayed from the spray humidifier unit 200;

A ventilation hole 500 through which the air inside and outside the humidifier enters and exits;

A rotating air current plate 600 for converting the fine particle flow of the humidifying water flowing by the wind of the ventilator 400, which is sprayed from the spray humidifier unit 200 and circulated, into a rotating air current;

A humidifier (700) through which moisture of the humidified water vaporized in the humidifying process is discharged; And

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the spray humidifier unit 200,

A main shaft 210 coupled with the power transmission device 300;

A power transmission coupling 220 coupled to one side of the outer peripheral surface of the main shaft 210;

A connecting arm 230 coupled to the power transmission coupling 220;

A cylinder part 240 including a piston 241 coupled to the connecting arm 230;

A suction port 250 formed with a first opening / closing port 251 for sucking humidification water stored in the storage type water tank by reciprocating linear movement of the piston 241;

A moving path 260 formed with a second opening / closing port 261 through which the humidifying water sucked into the suction port 250 is moved by reciprocating linear motion of the piston 241;
