Fig. 6 is a plan view of an exemplary embodiment of a mixer of the bubble water generating apparatus according to the present invention, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, and fig. 7 is a sectional view taken along line B-B of fig. 6. In an exemplary embodiment, the mixer 50 includes a second disk portion 510 and an annular wall portion 520, the second disk portion 510 defining a central axis L and including third and fourth opposing

surfaces

511, 512, the annular wall portion 520 surrounding the periphery of the second disk portion 510 and protruding from the third and

fourth surfaces

511, 512. When the flow splitter 30 and the mixer 50 are assembled, the central axis L defined by the first disk portion 310 coincides with the central axis L defined by the second disk portion 510.

Meanwhile, the air input of the outside air is effectively controlled, so that bubbles in the mixed water flow with certain bubbles are smaller, and the shower head can generate bubble water with micro bubbles.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, in an exemplary embodiment, the plurality of backflow holes 514 of the mixer 50 are closer to the central axis L than the plurality of second water inlet holes 513, in other words, the radius of the circle formed by the plurality of backflow holes 514 distributed along the circumferential direction of the second disk portion 510 is smaller than the radius of the circle formed by the plurality of second water inlet holes 513 distributed along the circumferential direction of the second disk portion 510.

Of course, in other embodiments, other suitable connections for connecting the flow divider 30 and the mixer 50 may be used, and will not be described in detail herein.

With continued reference to FIG. 3, the outlet cover 90 is removably attached to the annular wall 520 of the mixer 50, such as by a threaded connection, so that the outlet cover 90 is readily removed for cleaning the shower, such as cleaning the screen assembly 70. A sealing ring 20 is also provided between the cover 90 and the mixer 50 to prevent water from leaking out of the connection between the two.

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, a second chamber 80 is formed between the outlet cover 90 and the mixer 50, and the second inlet holes 513 and the return holes 514 are communicated with the second chamber 80. The shower head further comprises a plurality of filter screens which are stacked, and the plurality of filter screens are arranged in the second chamber 80.

The external air is sucked and mixed with the water flow to form a water flow with bubbles, and the water flow flows into the second chamber 80 through the second water inlet 513, and a part of the water flow flows back to the first chamber 60 from the back flow hole 514, which will not be described herein again. The other part of the air-water mixture passes through the filter screen assembly 70, and the larger bubbles are cut into micro bubbles by the filter screen, so that the water flow finally flowing out from the water outlet cover 90 has micro bubbles to generate effective bubble water.

As shown in fig. 1, the plurality of filter screens includes a plurality of first filter screens 710 and a plurality of second filter screens 720, the plurality of first filter screens 710 and the plurality of second filter screens 720 are alternately stacked, and the mesh number of the first filter screens 710 is different from that of the second filter screens 720. For example, the first screen 710 may be a perforated screen, the second screen 720 may be a dense-perforated screen, and the first screens 710 and the second screens 720 form the screen assemblies 70 alternately stacked to form a dense-dense screen assembly, so that the air bubbles are cut most effectively.

As shown in fig. 4 and 6, in one embodiment, the first disk portion 310 of the flow divider 30 is provided with the positioning protrusion 330, and the mixer 50 is provided with the positioning notch 550 engaged with the positioning protrusion 330, so that the flow divider 30 can be easily assembled by engagement of the positioning protrusion 330 and the positioning notch 550 when assembled with the mixer 50, so that the first water inlet hole 313 and the second water inlet hole 513 are quickly and conveniently aligned, and the assembly efficiency is improved.

Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning protrusion 330 may be disposed on the mixer 50, and the positioning notch 550 may be disposed on the flow divider 30; alternatively, the assembly positioning is realized by other suitable positioning structures, which are not listed here.

Another exemplary embodiment of the bubble water generating apparatus of the present invention may be a bubbler.

As shown in fig. 8 and 9, fig. 8 is a side view of another exemplary embodiment of the bubble water generating apparatus of the present invention, and fig. 9 is a sectional view of another exemplary embodiment of the bubble water generating apparatus of the present invention. In this embodiment, it is different from the embodiment of the shower head described above in that:

the bubbler includes a filter assembly 100, a flow splitter 30, a mixer 50, a screen assembly 70, and a surface cover 90. The cover 90 is fastened to the mixer 50 and the splitter 30, and forms a second chamber 80 with the mixer 50, and the filter screen assembly 70 is disposed in the second chamber 80. An inlet flow channel 314 is formed between the side wall of the outlet cover 90 and the side wall of the diverter 30, and the inlet flow channel 314 communicates with the first chamber 60.

When water flows through the filter element 100, the first water inlet 313 and the second water inlet 513 in sequence, since the flow area of the second water inlet 513 is larger than the flow area of the first water inlet 313, a certain negative pressure is generated in the second water inlet 513 according to the bernoulli principle, so that external air is sucked into the bubbler from the air inlet flow channel 314. The principle of generating micro-bubbles in the bubbler is substantially the same as that of the above-described embodiment of the showerhead, and thus, the detailed description thereof is omitted.

Of course, in other embodiments, the inlet flow conduit may also be formed on the flow splitter or other suitable component/location.

In summary, the bubble water generating device of the present invention has the advantages and beneficial effects that:

the water flow sequentially flows through the first water inlet hole 313 and the second water inlet hole 513, because the flow area of the second water inlet hole 513 is larger than that of the first water inlet hole 313, according to the bernoulli principle, a certain negative pressure is generated in the second water inlet hole 513, so that the outside air sequentially passes through the air inlet flow channel 314 and the first chamber 60 and is sucked into the second water inlet hole 513, and forms a mixed water flow with certain bubbles with the water flow, after the mixed water flow enters the second chamber 80, a part of the mixed water flow returns to the first chamber 60 through the backflow hole 514, and then is sucked into the second water inlet hole 513, and the circulation is repeated. Since a part of the returned mixed water flow fills the first chamber 60 during the reciprocating circulation to prevent the external air from being sucked into the bubble water generating device, the air intake amount is reduced, and as the part of the mixed water flow is sucked into the second water inlet 513 again, the external air is continuously sucked when the first chamber 60 is not filled with the mixed water flow, thereby achieving the effect of automatically controlling the air intake amount of the external air. Meanwhile, the air inflow of the outside air is effectively controlled, so that bubbles in the mixed water flow with certain bubbles are smaller, and the bubble water generating device can generate bubble water with micro bubbles.
