Abstract
A flow rate control valve has a waterproof function of a driving motor. The flow rate control valve is for transferring a fluid pumped by a water supply pump to a nozzle unit and a nozzle cleaning unit for cleaning the nozzle unit. The flow rate control valve includes at least one housing in which the fluid pumped by the water supply pump is accommodated, and at least one driving motor configured to change a communication area of each of the at least one housing, the nozzle unit, and the nozzle cleaning unit by rotation. At least one sealing adapter is formed between the at least one housing and the at least one driving motor so as to prevent the fluid from flowing into the at least one driving motor.
