Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The terms used are terms selected in consideration of functions in the embodiments, and the meaning of the terms may vary according to the intentions or precedents of users or operators. Therefore, the meaning of the terms used in the embodiments to be described later follows the definition when it is specifically defined in the present specification, and when there is no specific definition, it should be interpreted as the meaning generally recognized by those skilled in the art.

1 is a block diagram of a functional shower head according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a functional shower head 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a head 11, a handle 12, and a microbubble generator 100.

The head portion 11 is formed with a plurality of perforated plates on one side. The head portion 11 has one side open and a perforated plate is formed on the other side. A microbubble generator 100, which will be described later, is inserted into the opened side of the head 11. A thread is formed on the opened side of the head portion 11 and is coupled to the handle portion 12 to be described later. Accordingly, when the head portion 11 and the handle portion 12 are coupled, the microbubble generating device 100 is housed and sealed inside. In this case, a rubber packing is formed between the head part 11 and the handle part 12 to prevent leakage.

In addition, a plurality of blades may be formed on the inner surface of the head portion 11. The blade serves to rub friction while the fluid passing through the microbubble generator 100 moves to the perforated plate. In this case, it is preferable that the blades of the head portion 11 are formed at a distance that does not interfere with the fine bubble generator 100. For example, the blade may be formed in a spiral shape along the inner surface of the head 11. Accordingly, the fluid passing through the microbubble generator 100 collides with the blade, thereby increasing the bubble effect.

The handle part 12 is formed in the longitudinal direction, and may be formed of a synthetic resin material or a metal material. The handle 12 is coupled to the head 11. In this case, a thread is formed on one side of the handle part 12 to be connected to the head part 11 in a screwing manner. The other side of the handle part 12 is connected to a flow path pipe connected to the faucet. The handle portion 12 is coupled with the head portion 11 in a state in which the microbubble generating device 100 is mounted on the head portion 11 to seal the interior thereof. This is to ensure that the fluid supplied through the flow path pipe is supplied to the microbubble generator 100.

The microbubble generator 100 converts the fluid supplied by being inserted into the head part 11 and the handle part 12 into microbubbles and outputs it to the head part 11. Here, the microbubble refers to a particle in which the water particle has a micro or nano size. It is preferable that the microbubble generating device 100 is formed in a size that can be inserted into the inner space of the head part 11. The microbubble generator 100 disperses the fluid in three or five directions and turns it into microbubbles. The microbubble device promotes bubble generation while varying the width in the flow path. Hereinafter, the microbubble generator 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5.

2 is a configuration diagram of a microbubble generator according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the microbubble generator according to FIG. 2 is inserted into the shower head, and FIG. It is an exemplary diagram for explaining generation of microbubbles in a flow path among microbubble generators.

1 to 4, the microbubble generator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first body 110, a second body 120, and a flow path 130.

The first body 110 has a cylindrical shape and has a plurality of injection ports 111 formed on one side thereof. The first body 110 may be formed of a synthetic resin material, ceramic, stainless steel (SUS), copper (Cu), or the like. It is preferable that the first body 110 has a diameter that can be inserted into the head 11 of the shower. The first body 110 may have 3 to 6 injection holes 111 formed therein. The injection hole 111 is a hole through which water supplied from the faucet is injected. In this case, it is preferable that there is no space between the first body 110 and the head portion 11 of the shower so that a fluid such as water is injected only through the injection port 111.

In addition, a first O-ring 112 may be formed on the outer circumferential surface of the first body 110. The first O-ring 112 serves to seal the space between the first body 110 and the shower head 11. In this case, at least one first O-ring 112 may be formed. Accordingly, it is possible to securely maintain airtightness while blocking the fluid from moving to a passage other than the injection port 111.

The second body 120 is formed extending in a cylindrical or dome shape on the top. In other words, the first body 110 and the second body 120 are formed integrally, but for convenience of explanation, the configuration will be divided and described. The second body 120 is formed of the same material as the first body 110, and may be formed of a synthetic resin material, ceramic, stainless steel (SUS), copper (Cu), or the like. The second body 120 is inserted into the head portion 11 of the shower, and is formed to be smaller in diameter than the first body (110). In this case, it may be formed to be spaced apart from the inner wall of the shower head 11 and the second body 120 at regular intervals.

In addition, a plurality of outlets 121 are formed on one side of the second body. The plurality of discharge ports 121 are holes for discharging the fluid that has moved along the flow path unit 130 to be described later. The discharge ports 121 may be formed in the same number corresponding to the number of injection ports 111. This is because each outlet 121 is connected to each injection port 111 through the flow path 130. The plurality of outlets 121 may be formed on the side surfaces of the second body 120, but are not limited thereto. In this case, the fluid is discharged into a space spaced apart between the second body 120 and the inner wall of the shower head 11.

The flow path part 130 is formed by obliquely penetrating the inside of the first body 110 and the second body 120. For example, the flow path part 130 may be formed to be inclined at an angle of 35 to 75 degrees with respect to the bottom surface. The flow path 130 is a path connecting the injection port 111 and the discharge port 121. The flow path part 130 may be formed in a number of inside the first body 110 and the second body 120. The flow path 130 generates a pressure difference while the width of each section is changed.

For example, the first section P1 connected to the injection port 111 has the narrowest width, the second section P2 has the widest width, and the third section connected to the discharge port 121 ( P3) can be formed to narrow the width again. This allows the fluid injected through the inlet 111 to be discharged through the outlet 121 while changing into a bubble shape. The fourth section P4 may move the flow path in a state in which the fluid is finally changed to the microbubble 1.

5 is an exemplary view for explaining that a filter is formed in the microbubble generator according to FIG. 2.

2 to 5, the microbubble generator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a first filter 140. The first filter 140 is formed in the form of a thin film, and may be formed of a synthetic resin material or a metal material. The first filter 140 is formed on one side of the first body 110, and a plurality of first micro-holes 141 are formed on the surface. The first micro-holes 141 may be formed by using a laser in a thin thin film, or may be formed by overlapping multiple mesh networks. The first filter 140 is in close contact with the injection port 111 and passes the fluid injected through the injection port 111 through the first micro-hole 141. In other words, the fluid supplied from the faucet is injected into the injection port 111 through the first filter 140. Accordingly, it is possible to increase the bubble effect by first dispersing the fluid injected into the injection port 111.

Meanwhile, the microbubble generating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a second filter 150. The second filter 150 is formed in the form of a thin film, and may be formed of a synthetic resin material or a metal material. The second filter 150 is formed on one side of the second body 120 to pass the fluid discharged from the outlet 121 through the second micro-holes 151. The second micro-holes 151 may be formed by using a laser in a thin thin film, or may be formed by overlapping multiple mesh networks. The second micro-holes 151 may be formed smaller than the first micro-holes 141. Accordingly, the fluid discharged through the discharge port 121 may further pass through the second micro-holes 151 in a state in which micro-bubbles have already been performed while passing through the flow path part 130 to increase the micro-bubble effect.

6 is an exemplary view for explaining that an injection device is added to the shower head according to FIG. 1, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are detailed configuration diagrams of the injection device in FIG. 6.

1 to 8, a shower head according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include an injection device 200. The injection device 200 may be detachably inserted into one side of the head portion 11 of the shower head 10. More specifically, the injection device 200 includes a support part 210, a capsule 220 and a rotation part 230.

The support part 210 is formed on one side of the head part, and a pressure pin 211 is formed in the center thereof. The support part 210 is a cylindrical groove formed inside the shower head. The support part 210 is formed with a pressing pin 211 in the center. The pressure pin 211 serves to perforate the sealed surface of the capsule 220 to be described later. In this case, the support part 210 is formed in a structure in which fluid flows around the pressure pin 211.

In addition, the inner surface of the support portion 210 is formed in the form of a thread. This is to induce the coupling with the rotating part 230 to be described later by a screw coupling method. A stopper 212 is formed at one end of the support part 210. The stopper 212 serves to prevent separation of the rotating part 230. In addition, the stopper 212 has a second O-ring 213 formed therein and serves to prevent water leakage when combined with the rotating part 230.

The capsule 220 contains a solution of a predetermined component and is sealed. For example, the capsule 220 may contain vitamins, seaweed ingredients, herbs, drugs, etc., which are good ingredients for the skin, in a liquid form. The capsule 220 is sealed inside in the form of a thin film, and is perforated by a pressure pin 211 of the support part 210. In this case, the capsule 220 can be used as a replacement type. In other words, the capsule 220 is punctured by the pressing pin 211 while being moved by the rotating part 230 to allow the solution inside to flow out. In this case, the spilled solution is discharged to the outside while mixing with the fluid. The size and shape of the capsule 220 may be variously changed according to a user's design.

The rotating part 230 is cylindrical and accommodates the capsule 220 inside. The rotating part 230 moves while rotating through screwing with the support part 210. In this case, a lever 231 is formed on one side of the rotating part 230 so that the user can manually manipulate the rotating part 230 to rotate. The rotating part 230 has a thread formed on the outer surface and is screwed to the inner side of the support part 210. The rotating part 230 serves to allow the solution to flow out while the capsule 220 is punctured by the pressure pin 211.

In other words, when the rotating part 230 is close to the pressing pin 211, the capsule 220 is punctured by pressure, and when the rotating part 230 moves away from the pressing pin 211 and moves to the outside, the capsule 220 can be replaced. I can. 7 shows a state in which the rotating part 230 is maximally distant from the pressing pin 211 of the support part 210. In this case, the capsule 220 can be removed and replaced. 8 shows a state in which the rotating part 230 is maximally close to the pressing pin 211 of the support part 210. In this case, it indicates that the fluid and the solution are mixed and discharged to the outside while the capsule 220 is punctured by the pressure pin 211. Accordingly, by mixing the ingredients included in the capsule 220 into the microbubble, it is possible to penetrate deeply into the skin.

The present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings, but is not limited thereto. Therefore, the present invention should be interpreted by the description of the claims intended to cover obvious modifications that can be derived from the described embodiments.
