By allowing the water to spray while maintaining its direction, you can expect the advantage of being able to spray water more spectacularly.

Hereinafter, a method of operating a fountain device according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described.

2 to 5 are schematic diagrams for explaining a method of operating a fountain device according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

First, referring to FIG. 2, when a signal for operating the fountain device 100 according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention is input, the first inlet 45 may be opened.

The initial opening of the first inlet 45 may be achieved by electrical signals or the like, as mentioned, but subsequent openings may be achieved by venting the negative pressure to the atmosphere using the vent 43.

Additionally, even if the first inlet 45 is not opened despite venting using the vent 43, the first inlet 45 may be opened using an electrical signal.

In this way, as the first inlet 45 is opened, water can flow into the first flow path 13, the connecting flow path 25, and the second flow path 19.

Next, referring to FIG. 3, when water flows into the first flow path 13, the connection flow path 25, and the second flow path 19 to have a set inflow amount, the pressure providing unit 35 is used to create a second upper ( Pressure can be provided from 21) toward the ejection unit 27 via the second flow path 19, the connecting flow path 25, the first flow path 13, and the first upper part 15.

That is, compressed air can be provided from the second upper part 21 toward the blowing part 27 using the pressure providing part 35.

In this way, as compressed air is provided from the second upper part 21 toward the blowing part 27, the first inlet 45 may be closed by the pressure of the compressed air.

That is, as compressed air is provided toward the blowing unit 27 using the pressure providing unit 35, the water flowing into the second flow path 19, the connecting flow path 25, and the first flow path 13 is It may flow from the second flow path 19 to the first flow path 13 via the connection flow path 25, and thus the first inlet 45 may be closed by the flow of water.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 4 , as compressed air is provided using the pressure providing unit 35, the first inlet 45 is closed and pressure is applied toward the ejection unit 27, thereby causing water to flow into the ejection unit 27. It can flow toward the water surface, and when the valve 33 of the water jet 27 is opened, the water can be jetted vertically high outward from the water surface 11 through the water jet nozzle 31. .

And referring to FIG. 5, when all the water is ejected out of the water surface 11 through the jet nozzle 31, the first flow path 13, the connecting flow path 25, and the second flow path 19 are empty. In this case, a negative pressure state may be temporarily created in the first flow path 13, the connecting flow path 25, and the second flow path 19, but the inflow, interruption, and ejection of water must be continuously operated. Therefore, the negative pressure state must be maintained at normal pressure.

Accordingly, the negative pressure created in the first flow path 13, the connection flow path 25, and the second flow path 19 is vented to the atmosphere using the vent unit 43 so that the negative pressure is maintained at a normal pressure. The first inlet 45 may be opened by a vent.

And, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, water is introduced again, compressed air is provided, water is ejected, and venting is continuously performed, thereby creating a situation in which water is continuously ejected.

In addition, when water does not flow smoothly into the first flow path 13, the second flow path 25, and the connecting flow path 19 through the first inlet 45, the water flows through the second inlet 47. Water may be forced to flow into the second flow path 25, the connecting flow path 19, and the first flow path 19.

And if air is present in the water flowing into the first flow path 13, the connecting flow path 25, and the second flow path 19, the water ejected through the ejection nozzle 31 will not be ejected higher due to the air. Since a situation may arise where this is not possible, the air present in the water flowing into the first flow path 13, the connection flow path 25, and the second flow path 19 can be removed using the air removal unit 71, mainly. The water in the first flow path 13, the connecting flow path 25, and the second flow path 19 can be dispersed and flow through various paths to remove air present in the water.

In addition, the orifice portion 81 will allow the water ejected through the ejection nozzle 31 to be ejected while maintaining a straight direction.

However, the fountain device 100 according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention can not only spout water vertically, but can also be equipped to spout water in a curved direction.

Figure 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating a structure for spouting water in a curved direction from a fountain device according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, the fountain device 100 according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention may be provided to have a structure that ejects water in a curved direction, where the end of the ejection line 29 and the ejection nozzle 31 This can be achieved by making the direction of the curved direction at a certain angle rather than the vertical direction.

In FIG. 6, only the structure in which the end of the jet line 29 and the jet nozzle 31 are directed in a curved direction at a certain angle is explained. However, unlike this, the jet extending from the upper part 15 of the first flow path 13 A structure that ejects water in a curved direction can also be achieved by making the line 29 face a direction curved at a certain angle rather than a vertical direction.

Additionally, the fountain device 100 according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention may be configured to have a structure further provided with a curved spout 61 capable of spouting water in a curved direction.

The curved jetting unit 61 may be provided with a pumping unit 63, a curved jetting line 65, a valve 67, a curved jetting nozzle 69, etc. Examples of the pumping unit 63 include a submersible pump and a volute.
