空气增压机构2其装设在本体12内,所述空气增压机构2主要由一储水压板21及一内架22组成:  The air booster mechanism 2 is installed in the body 12, and the air booster mechanism 2 is mainly composed of a water storage pressure plate 21 and an inner frame 22:

所述储水压板21装设在本体12的进水流道上,并与其形成一储水内腔211;如图1、图2所示,该储水压板21设有两个或两个以上的第一出水口212,其连通储水内腔211与内架22;所述储水压板21还设有一凹腔213,且该凹腔213与空气连通形成气室;  The water storage pressure plate 21 is installed on the water inlet channel of the body 12, and forms a water storage cavity 211 with it; as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the water storage pressure plate 21 is provided with two or more The first water outlet 212 is connected to the water storage inner cavity 211 and the inner frame 22; the water storage pressure plate 21 is also provided with a concave cavity 213, and the concave cavity 213 communicates with air to form an air chamber;

如图3所示,所述内架22上开设有与第一出水口212等数且对应的第二出水口221,且该第二出水口221的口径大于第一出水口212的口径;其中,所述第一出水口212与第二出水口221之间设有一间距,且该间距与空气连通;所述第二出水口221向第一出水口212方向延伸一凸环222,以延长空气与水流混合的时间与强度,从而让水更充分饱满的射出。  As shown in Figure 3, the inner frame 22 is provided with a second water outlet 221 equal in number to and corresponding to the first water outlet 212, and the diameter of the second water outlet 221 is larger than that of the first water outlet 212; , there is a distance between the first water outlet 212 and the second water outlet 221, and the distance communicates with the air; the second water outlet 221 extends a protruding ring 222 toward the first water outlet 212 to extend the air The time and intensity of mixing with the water flow, so that the water can be injected more fully and fuller. the

实际应用过程中,形成空气增压主要由两个型腔构成:储水内腔211和出水型腔34;储水内腔211提供一个高速出水的来源,出水型腔34是形成空气增压效果和节水功能;储水压板21焊接在本体12的流道上形成储水内腔211,于储水压板21上开设二个或二个以上均匀分布的第一出水口212进行截流(至于选用几个出水孔的数量和出水孔径主要取决于出水面盖32的大小和形状,前提是总出水孔的出水积要小于入水口的面积),如图1至图4所示,水从螺纹接头11进入,从储水压板21的第一出水口212高速流出,通过内架22上第二出水口221进入出水型腔34并由出水套31射出形成出水功能;所述每个进第一出水口212与第二出水口221对应,且第二出水口221比第一出水口212要大一些,其中,如图5所示,两出水口之间有一定间距,此时各个第一出水口212高速流出的水直接流入对应的第二出水口221,并在各孔的间距的区域形成一个负 压区,同时空气随著第二出水口221一起被带入出水型腔34形成一个大气压进行增压,水跟空气充分混合后,并由出水套31射出形成出水功能;空气和水混合后水带有大量的气泡,再加上空气增压的效果让水更能充分饱满的射出,更加的舒适和自然;由于空气增压,在同样的出水流量的情况下,其出水的力度更有力和饱满,也就是说当需求同样的出水效果的时候,其要求出水的流量就会变小,可以节水约20-30%。  In practical application, the formation of air pressurization is mainly composed of two cavities: the water storage inner cavity 211 and the water outlet cavity 34; the water storage inner cavity 211 provides a source of high-speed water outlet, and the water outlet cavity 34 is to form the air pressurization effect and water-saving function; the water storage pressure plate 21 is welded on the flow channel of the body 12 to form a water storage inner cavity 211, and two or more evenly distributed first water outlets 212 are set on the water storage pressure plate 21 to intercept the flow (as for The number and diameter of several water outlet holes selected mainly depend on the size and shape of the water outlet cover 32, provided that the water outlet volume of the total water outlet holes is smaller than the area of the water inlet), as shown in Figures 1 to 4, water flows from the thread Connector 11 enters, flows out from the first water outlet 212 of the water storage pressure plate 21 at high speed, enters the water outlet cavity 34 through the second water outlet 221 on the inner frame 22, and is ejected by the water outlet jacket 31 to form a water outlet function; The first water outlet 212 corresponds to the second water outlet 221, and the second water outlet 221 is larger than the first water outlet 212. Wherein, as shown in FIG. 5, there is a certain distance between the two water outlets. At this time, each first water outlet The water flowing out of the water outlet 212 at a high speed directly flows into the corresponding second water outlet 221, and forms a negative pressure zone in the area between the holes, and at the same time, the air is brought into the water outlet cavity 34 together with the second water outlet 221 to form a Atmospheric pressure is pressurized, water and air are fully mixed, and the water is ejected from the water outlet jacket 31 to form a water outlet function; after the air and water are mixed, the water has a large number of air bubbles, and the effect of air pressurization makes the water more fully ejected , more comfortable and natural; due to air pressurization, under the same water flow rate, the water discharge force is more powerful and full, that is to say, when the same water discharge effect is required, the required water discharge flow rate will become Small, can save water about 20-30%. the

如图1、图2、图4、图5所示,所述储水压板21上开设二个或二个以上均匀分布的第一出水口212进行截流,为空气增压提供了一更加的均匀和稳定的空气来源;所述储水压板21设置凹腔213,为提供空气来源形成一个合适的区域;让空气与水流混合更加均匀和充分;本实用新型所述的花洒面盖组件3与本体12内部为整个的空气型腔4,通过周边装配间隙输入,让吸气的声响在型腔4内有一个吸收和过滤的过程,从而减小且二次的降低了声噪,大大的改善声噪大的问题。  As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, two or more evenly distributed first water outlets 212 are provided on the said water storage pressure plate 21 for interception, which provides a more efficient way for air pressurization. Uniform and stable air source; the water storage pressure plate 21 is provided with a concave cavity 213, forming a suitable area for providing an air source; allowing air and water to mix more uniformly and fully; the shower cover assembly described in the utility model 3 and the inside of the body 12 are the entire air cavity 4, which is input through the peripheral assembly gap, so that the sound of suction can undergo a process of absorption and filtering in the cavity 4, thereby reducing and reducing the noise twice, greatly Improve the problem of loud noise. the

如图6-1、6-2、6-3所示,本实用新型的空气增压节水机构可以灵活的设计在多功能花洒,实现空气增压的出水功能:如花洒水,气泡水等等,提升产品的应用空间及产品在市场竞争力。  As shown in Figures 6-1, 6-2, and 6-3, the air pressurized water-saving mechanism of the present invention can be flexibly designed in a multifunctional shower to realize the air pressurized water outlet function: such as shower water, bubble water, etc. Etc., to enhance product application space and product competitiveness in the market. the
