Description

{A spraying plate of a mesh type shower head and a shower head having the spraying plate}

The present invention relates to a spray plate that sprays water streams in the form of a mesh, and a shower head to which this spray plate is assembled.

More specifically, water is configured to be sprayed in the direction of the contact point of the set water spray area, but at least two water spray areas consisting of concentric circles are set, and water is sprayed symmetrically inside and outside the mesh to form a mesh. That is, it relates to a spray plate that sprays water in the form of a mesh and a shower head having this spray plate.

In addition, the present invention forms a flow path that guides the spray of water in a tangential direction to the cycle area in which the water is set, and this flow path is composed of an internal flow path and an external flow path arranged in a concentric circle, and the spray direction of each flow path is configured differently to produce water discharge. It relates to a spray plate of a mesh-type shower that allows water to be sprayed in a net-like manner while alternating with each other, and to a shower head having this spray plate.

In general, a shower is a spray device that sprays cold or hot water, and is widely used in bathrooms, bathtubs, and sinks in general homes as well as lodging facilities, as well as outdoors.

This shower device consists of a hose that is connected to a faucet and supplies water, a handle that is connected to this hose and can be held by the user, and a head that is coupled to this handle and sprays water. The head's spray plate dispenses water. A plurality of injection holes for spraying are perforated.

Recently, various functions have been added to these showers to improve convenience of use. For example, Domestic Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0021269 allows massage to be performed at the same time as showering by continuously flowing the massage protrusions using the water pressure of the water supplied to the shower head, and Domestic Public Utility Model 20-2010 No. -0001167 has a self-luminous body using water pressure that can enhance aesthetics by emitting light in a toy or faucet to which water pressure is supplied, and a shower head having the same.

In addition, Domestic Patent Publication No. 10-2012-0097666 has a shower head that can adjust the amount of water sprayed and check the temperature of the water by operating the button on the shower head.

However, such conventional shower heads have problems in that they are difficult to design, manufacture, and assemble because they require multiple functions in a limited space, and they are not actually used very often, making it difficult to achieve practical effects.

On the other hand, a spray plate that can set the spray direction according to the shape of the spray hole has also been developed.

The spray plate of Domestic Registered Patent No. 10-0867486 is a shower plate installed on the lower side of the main body of the shower head and formed with a plurality of spray holes, wherein the plurality of spray holes have one side indented on the plane of the sprinkler plate. It includes a watering hole of a shape, and the watering hole of which one side of the watering plate is inward-shaped is provided on an outer side compared to the convex-shaped watering hole, and the inner part of the watering hole of the watering hole of the one side of the inner side of the watering hole is of a convex shape. It is formed in the inner or outer direction of the plate.

However, these sprinkler plates have several problems. If the injected part is formed toward the inside of the sprinkler plate, there is a problem that the water sprayed inward collides with the water stream in the central area and cannot be concentrated. Conversely, if it is formed in the outer direction, the water spray is sprayed outward separately from other water streams. There is a problem with water scattering as it is sprayed.

The present design was made in consideration of such conventional problems, and its purpose is to set a spray area without adding a separate configuration, and to spray water intensively without deviating from the set cycle area, but to prevent water from inside and outside. The aim is to provide a mesh-type shower spray plate that alternates with each other and sprays in a mesh shape.

In addition, the present invention provides a mesh-type shower spray plate with a hole in the center of the sprinkler plate to provide aesthetics, and furthermore, water is sprayed in the form of a mesh to stimulate the interest of children and make bathing fun, and the spray plate having this spray plate. A shower head is provided.

In addition, the present invention provides a mesh-type shower head that can create a beneficial environment for the human body by changing the cross-sectional area of the flow path to increase the spray pressure and flow rate, and by separating air dissolved in water to generate air bubbles.

The present invention is a shower plate, which forms a flow path that guides the water supply in a tangential direction to the water supply area cycle set on one side of the sprinkler plate, and this flow path is formed with an internal flow path and an external flow path forming a concentric circle, The internal flow path and the external flow path induce different flow directions of water, so that the spraying direction of water through the internal flow path and the spraying direction of water through the external flow path are alternate with each other, and a sprinkler plate that causes water to be sprayed in the form of a mesh. This is achieved by having .

In addition, in the present invention, the internal flow path and the external flow path are provided with a rectangular guide groove formed in the spray plate and a spray hole connected to the guide groove, so that water is sprayed in the tangential direction of the water spray area cycle set in the spray hole. It has a technical feature of having a slope that

In addition, the present invention is a shower head, which is connected to the handle connected to the faucet, has a casing provided with a space for water to flow inside, and is assembled to the casing and supplies water in a tangential direction to the water supply area cycle set on one side. A guiding flow path is formed, in which the internal flow path and the external flow path form a concentric circle, and the internal flow path and the external flow path induce different water flow directions, so that the spray direction of water through the internal flow path and the spraying direction of water through the external flow path are different. It is characterized by a shower head consisting of a spray plate that sprays water in a mesh shape in alternating directions.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The sprinkler plate 100 according to the present invention has a circular flow path for guiding water spray on one side, and spray holes 124 and 144 connected to this flow path are drilled to extend to the other side.

The present invention is characterized in that the flow path is composed of an internal flow path 120 and an external flow path 140, which form a concentric circle, and the internal flow path 120 and the external flow path 20 are arranged in two rows as shown in the drawing. This is desirable, but in some cases, it is possible to configure more columns.

Each of the internal flow path 220 and the external flow path 240 has a plurality of flow paths inclined at equal intervals, and each flow path is arranged inclined in the tangential direction of the set spraying cycle.

In other words, in this design, the injection area cycle is set to the inside and outside. This spray area cycle is set according to the size of the spray plate 100, the spacing between the internal and external flow paths 120 and 140, and the radius of the central hole 160, which will be described later, and can also be determined according to the intended use. .

Here, the spray area cycle refers to the radius of the circular water stream being sprayed, and as described above, the radius can be increased or decreased.

The injection area cycle (c, C) is set, and the inclination angle of the internal flow path 120 and the external flow path 140 is determined.

For example, the internal flow path 120 of the present invention is inclined at a tilt angle (x) of 45° based on the line connecting the center of the injection hole 124 and the center of the injection area cycle (c), and this angle is the inner injection It is the tangential direction of the area cycle (c).

Like the internal flow path 120, the external flow path 140 is based on a line connecting the center of the injection hole 144 and the center of the outer injection area cycle C, and has an inclination angle (a) of the external flow path 140. ) is 60°. This angle is tangential to the outer injection zone cycle (C).

The tilt angles (x) and (a) are preferably 45° or 60°, but can be increased or decreased by ±5° as needed. If it is larger or smaller than this, the water will not flow smoothly, there may be difficulties in spraying, and the jetted water may scatter.

Another feature of the present invention is that the internal flow path 120 and the external flow path 140 are arranged so that the inclination directions are opposite to each other.

Based on Figure 2, the internal flow path 120 slopes downward from left to right, and the external flow path 140 slopes downward from right to left, and water flows and is sprayed according to the guidance of each inclined flow path.

This configuration has the advantage of allowing children to enjoy a sense of aesthetics by allowing water to be sprayed in alternating directions to form a net. In addition, there is the advantage that water streams in different directions are sprayed onto the body, allowing residues to be washed away cleanly.

Meanwhile, the internal flow path 120 and the external flow path 140 of the present invention have the same configuration. Figure 3 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the flow path of the present invention. These flow paths are composed of rectangular guide grooves (122, 142) and spray holes (124, 144) connected to the guide grooves (122, 142) and drilled from one side of the spray plate where the flow path is formed to the other side.

The injection holes 124 and 144 are provided with inclined portions 126 and 146 that are inclined at the same angle as the tangential direction of the set water spray area cycle and guide the injection of water, and the opposite sides of these inclined portions 126 and 146 are It consists of vertical planes 128 and 148.

In the present invention with this configuration, when water flows into the guide grooves 122 and 142 of each flow path, each inclined part 123 and 143 guides the spray of water in the tangential direction of the spray cycle, and flows into the internal flow path and external flow path. As the are arranged in a staggered manner, the jetted water is sprayed in the form of a mesh.

Meanwhile, the sprinkler plate 100 according to the present invention is configured in a donut shape with a hole 160 in the center. This type is because the set spray area cycle can secure a sufficient spray area compared to existing showers, and thus has the advantage of saving water.

In another embodiment, the present invention allows the vertical surfaces 128 and 148 to be inclined in the same direction as the inclined portions 126 and 146.

The inclination angle of the vertical surfaces 128 and 148 may be smaller than that of the inclined portion or may be inclined at the same angle, and there is an advantage in that the directionality of water flowing and sprayed along the inclined portion can be improved.

This embodiment is a new form that is not present in existing showers and has the advantage of providing a new aesthetic sense along with the mesh-shaped water stream.

Furthermore, the spray plate 100 of the present invention can greatly improve shower satisfaction by increasing the spray pressure and flow rate. Looking at the internal and external flow passages 120 and 140 of the present invention, there is a large difference in cross-sectional area by providing inclined portions in the injection holes 124 and 144 leading from the rectangular guide grooves 122 and 124.

Therefore, as the water flowing into the guide grooves 122 and 124 passes through the injection hole, the flow speed increases and the injection pressure increases. When it passes through the injection hole 124 and 144, it becomes low-pressure, and in this low-pressure state, the air is separated. By generating air bubbles through the phenomenon, it is possible to create an environment beneficial to the human body.
