It is preferable that the convex surface 381 of the shutter 360 faces and contacts the concave surface 383 of the neighboring shutter 360.

It is preferable that the arc of the convex surface 381 and the arc of the concave surface 383 have the same dimensions. Therefore, when each shutter 360 is rotated, the convex surface 381 of the shutter 360 and the concave surface 383 of the adjacent shutter 360 do not collide with each other, and the shutters 360 can be rotated in the same direction at the same time. have.

As shown in FIG. 3B, when the shutter 360 is opened, the concave surface 383 is disposed substantially the same as the inner circumferential surface of the support ring to open almost all of the passages 211b and 211c.

On the other hand, in the support piece 370, a support hole 375 is formed at a point close to the cover piece 380 and the concave surface 383, and a rotation hole 371 is formed long in the inner and outer direction near the center.

As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, when viewed straight from the top, the rotation hole 371 has a closed position hole 371a positioned when the shutter support ring 320 is not rotated, and the shutter support ring 320 starts to rotate. It includes an open position hole 371b extending from the closed position hole 371a in the direction of the covering piece 380 until the rotation is completed. Therefore, when the shutter 360 is opened and closed, the rotation shaft 340 of the shutter support ring 320 reciprocates through the rotation hole 371, that is, the closed position hole 371a and the open position hole 371b.

The distance between the support shaft 221 and the rotation shaft 340 when the shutter 360 is opened is closer than the distance between the support shaft 221 and the rotation shaft 340 when the shutter 360 is closed.
