[0052] The connecting module (351) is rotatably engaged with the mounting ring (340) and serves as the center of the rotating cleaning module (350). This module is coupled to the mounting ring and is capable of rotational driving, and while rotating, it drives the first cleaning module (400) and the second cleaning module (500) simultaneously to efficiently clean foreign matter inside the water tray.

[0053] The first cleaning module (400) is connected to one side of the connecting module (351) and rotates together with the connecting module when the module rotates, thereby cleaning foreign matter accumulated on one side of the interior of the stainless steel eaves gutter (100). This supports the removal of contaminants accumulated on one side of the eaves gutter, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the gutter.

[0054] The second cleaning module (500) is connected to the other side of the connecting module (351) and rotates together with the connecting module when the module rotates, thereby cleaning foreign matter accumulated on the other side of the inside of the stainless steel eaves gutter (100). Through mutual complementary action with the first cleaning module, foreign matter inside the gutter can be removed from both directions, thereby further improving the drainage performance of the eaves gutter.

[0055] A rotary cleaning module (350) having the configuration described above can automatically clean foreign matter accumulated on both sides of the eaves gutter through the cooperation of a connecting module (351), a first cleaning module (400), and a second cleaning module (500), thereby greatly improving drainage efficiency and maintenance convenience.

[0056] An eaves gutter installation structure (20) according to another embodiment having the configuration described above can automatically or manually clean foreign matter accumulated inside the eaves gutter, thereby maintaining the drainage efficiency of the gutter and greatly improving the convenience of maintenance work.

[0058] Figure 3 is a drawing showing the connection module of Figure 2.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 3, the connection module (351) includes a connection block (3511), a block support wheel (3512), and a block drive wheel (3513).

[0060] The connecting block (3511) is formed in a cylindrical shape and is rotatably engaged and connected to the inner side of the mounting ring (340). A first cleaning module (400) and a second cleaning module (500) are installed on one side and the other side, respectively, exposed from the mounting ring (340). As the connecting block (3511) rotates, it rotates the two cleaning modules together, allowing foreign matter inside the eaves gutter to be cleaned in both directions. This enables uniform cleaning, thereby effectively maintaining the cleanliness of the gutter.

[0061] A plurality of block support wheels (3512) are rotatably installed along the circumference of a connecting block (3511) facing the inner surface of a mounting ring (340), and are stably seated on the inner surface of the mounting ring (340). The block support wheels (3512) support the smooth rotation of the connecting block (3511) and provide stable operation. This allows the connecting block to rotate smoothly, thereby assisting in the efficient operation of the cleaning module.

[0062] The block drive wheel (3513) is rotatably connected to the circumference of the connecting block (3511) facing the inner surface of the mounting ring (340), and rotates in the forward or reverse direction while seated on the inner surface of the mounting ring (340). The block drive wheel (3513) rotates the connecting block (3511) while moving it along the inner surface of the mounting ring, thereby enabling the cleaning module to effectively push out foreign matter inside the water tray and perform cleaning operations. This allows contaminants accumulated in each section of the water tray to be removed evenly.

[0063] A connection module (351) having the configuration described above can stably rotate a cleaning module by means of a connection block (3511), a block support wheel (3512), and a block drive wheel (3513) within the connection module (351) interacting to effectively remove foreign matter inside the water tray, thereby maximizing cleaning efficiency and greatly improving maintenance convenience.

[0065] Figure 4 is a drawing showing the first cleaning module of Figure 2.

[0066] Referring to FIG. 4, the first cleaning module (400) includes a module body (401), a block mounting groove (402), a block support spring (403), a dome-shaped projection (404), a dome mounting groove (405), a front mounting groove (406), a mounting groove cover (407), a cover support spring (408), a rotary drive motor (409), a first rotary block (410), a second rotary block (411), a block support bar (412), and a cleaning brush (413).

[0067] Here, since the second cleaning module (500) is identical to the first cleaning module (400) described below, the module body (401), block seating groove (402), block support spring (403), dome-shaped projection (404), dome seating groove (405), front installation groove (406), installation groove cover (407), cover support spring (408), rotation drive motor (409), first rotation block (410), second rotation block (411), block support bar (412), cleaning brush (413), etc. of the first cleaning module (400) can be applied in the same way, so the description is omitted to avoid duplication of explanation.

[0068] The module body (401) is a key component of the present invention positioned on one side of the connecting block (3511) and performs a cleaning function to remove foreign matter inside the eaves gutter. The module body (401) is firmly coupled to the connecting block to provide stable support during the cleaning operation.

[0069] The block seating groove (402) is formed at the rear end of the module body (401) and serves to allow the connecting block (3511) to be stably inserted. Through this, the module body is firmly fixed by being in close contact with the mounting ring (340).

[0070] The block support spring (403) is installed inside the block seating groove (402) to firmly secure the connecting block (3511) to the block seating groove, thereby increasing stability. The block support spring prevents shaking of the module body during cleaning operations, thereby ensuring stability.

[0071] The dome-shaped protrusions (404) are arranged at regular intervals along the edge of the contact surface of the module body (401) and are designed with a dome-shaped structure. These protrusions induce vibration when the cleaning module rotates, thereby increasing cleaning efficiency.

[0072] Multiple dome mounting grooves (405) are formed along one side of the mounting ring (340) and are configured so that each dome-shaped projection (404) can be accurately mounted. By engaging with the dome-shaped projections, vibration is induced when the module body rotates, thereby increasing the cleaning effect.

[0073] The front mounting groove (406) is formed at the front of the module body (401) and provides a structure in which the mounting groove cover (407) can be fixed. Through this, the components of the front portion are stably mounted.

[0074] The installation groove cover (407) covers the front installation groove (406) to protect the front portion of the module body and helps to operate seamlessly through the cover during cleaning. This cover also serves to transmit vibrations caused by the rotation of the internal rotating block.

[0075] The cover support spring (408) has the function of fixing the installation groove cover (407) by pressing it against the front end of the module body (401). This ensures that the cover remains stable during cleaning and increases the vibration effect during rotation.

[0076] The rotary drive motor (409) is installed within the shear installation groove (406) and serves to rotate the first rotary block (410) through the drive shaft. The cleaning module operates through the drive of this motor to effectively remove foreign matter from inside the eaves gutter.

[0077] The first rotating block (410) is installed at the front center of the module body and is axially coupled with the drive shaft of the rotary drive motor (409). The first rotating block has radial gear teeth formed thereon and, when rotated, engages with the second rotating block (411) to perform a cleaning function.

[0078] The second rotating block (411) is installed in a position opposite to the first rotating block (410) and rotates in engagement with the first rotating block to induce vibration of the cleaning module. By engaging with the first rotating block, it generates horizontal vibration, contributing to the removal of foreign matter.

[0079] The block support bar (412) connects the front center of the first rotating block (410) and the rear center of the second rotating block (411) in a straight line, serving to support the two rotating blocks so that they are stably maintained in a straight line during rotation.

[0080] The cleaning brush (413) is installed along the perimeter and front of the module body (401) and the installation groove cover (407), and during cleaning, it pushes foreign matter inside the water tray to both ends of the water tray by rotation and vibration, keeping it clean.

[0081] The first cleaning module (400) having the configuration described above can maximize the cleaning effect and improve the ease of maintenance by efficiently removing foreign matter inside the eaves gutter by utilizing the rigid coupling structure of the module body (401), the dome-shaped protrusion (404), and the vibration and rotational force induced by the rotary drive motor (409).

[0083] Figure 5 is a drawing showing the installation groove cover of Figure 4.

[0084] Referring to FIG. 5, the installation groove cover (407) includes a cover body (4071), a ring seating groove (4072), a groove cover (4073), a cover sole (4074), a driving ring (4075), and a ring driving gear (4076).

[0085] The cover body (4071) is the main body of the installation groove cover, and a cleaning brush (413) is installed around the perimeter and at the front end to perform a cleaning function. The cover body is seated over the front end installation groove (406) by the cover support spring (408), providing stable support during cleaning.

[0086] The ring seating groove (4072) is a groove formed by recessing in a circular ring shape from the front edge of the cover body (4071), and other components are placed in this groove. The ring seating groove provides a stable connection structure between the exterior and interior of the installation groove cover.

[0087] The home cover (4073) is made of a flexible thin film material and serves to cover and protect the entrance of the ring seating groove (4072). The home cover, which is shaped like a cone, has its outer surface positioned further forward than the inner surface on the entrance side of the ring seating groove, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering.

[0088] The cover brush (4074) is installed along the outer surface of the groove cover (4073) to remove contaminants covering the surface of the groove cover during cleaning. The cover brush performs cleaning operations when rotating and moving, contributing to maintaining the cleanliness of the eaves gutter.

[0089] The driving ring (4075) is placed in the ring seating groove (4072) and has screw threads formed on its inner surface. The driving ring can move horizontally within the ring seating groove and can adjust its position during cleaning.

[0090] The ring drive gear (4076) is installed by engaging with the drive ring (4075) via a screw connection and rotates by the ring drive motor to move the drive ring forward. The ring drive gear raises or lowers the groove cover (4073) in correspondence with the shear shape of the drive ring and optimizes cleaning performance by varying the arrangement shape of the cover brush (4074).

[0091] The installation groove cover (407) having the configuration described above provides the effect of maintaining the cleanliness of the eaves gutter and maximizing drainage performance by having various components of the installation groove cover (407) cooperate to perform a cleaning function.
