In other words, in a radial direction of the tapered water guide surface 21, the lower ends of the plurality of shunting members 30 have a predetermined distance from the apex and the outer circumference of the tapered water guide surface 21 respectively.
- FIG. 3 (broken lines in Fig. 3 indicating a flow direction of a water flow), the water flow enters the water circulating passage of the water circulating member 10 through the water inlet 11 of the water circulating member 10, and flows out of the water outlet 12 along the water circulating passage.
- the water flow out of the water outlet 12 is impinged at the apex of the tapered water guide surface 2; the water flow presents a sheet shape after passing by the apex of the tapered water guide surface 21, and then is scattered out in a number of directions by encountering with the plurality of shunting members 30; the water flow scattered in a number of directions converges again when passing by the outer circumference of the tapered water guide surface 21; finally forming the water flow sprinkled uniformly in a 360-degree sheet shape.
- the sprinkling device 1 for the sprinkling device 1 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, by providing the water guide member 20 having the tapered water guide surface 21, and the plurality of shunting members 30, it is possible to sprinkle uniformly in the form of the 360-degree sheet shape.
- the sprinkling device 1 according to embodiments of the present disclosure has a better sprinkling effect. Therefore, a door body and a door seal of the washing machine and clothes therein may be washed simultaneously, such that a detergent is fully dissolved, foam residue is reduced, and a washing effect is improved while decreasing the washing time of the clothes.
- the sprinkling device 1 according to embodiments of the present disclosure has advantages of enhancing a utilization rate of the detergent, reducing the washing time and improving the washing effect.
- the sprinkling device 1 according to specific embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the drawings.
