TW201622610A - Hood to be attached to a shower head for preventing water-splashing - Google Patents

Abstract

This water splash prevention hood (1) is configured so that a plurality of protruding plates (20, 30) are arranged in an alternating zigzag pattern with gaps therebetween, on an end surface (11) of a cylindrical body (10) which is connected to a shower head. In this configuration, there are no passages through which water spouts straight from the inside of the hood (1) toward the outside; therefore the violent splashing of water to the outside is prevented. Also, the gaps between the protruding plates form meandering flow passages "L", and the appropriate setting of the gaps between the protruding plates enables water to flow gently to the outside at a sufficient rate. The provided water splash prevention hood according to the present invention has both increased water splash prevention effect and increased water draining effect.

Description

Water splash prevention cover for shower head

The present invention relates to a splash preventing hood for use in a shower head.

For example, in the capacity. In the beauty salon, in order to improve the washing effect or the massage effect, the shower head may be shampooed as close as possible to the head. In this case, a cover member (a splash preventing cover) for preventing water splashed from the nozzle portion of the shower head from splashing around is attached to the shower head. On the other hand, it is necessary to discharge the water in the cover member, and the wall surface of the cover member is provided with a drain opening (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

As described so far, the water splash prevention cover having a drain opening on the wall surface has the following problems. In other words, it is necessary to increase the opening in order to efficiently drain the water. However, if the opening is excessively large, the original function, that is, the splashing of the splash, is prevented.

In contrast, there is a need for an appropriate compromise point, such as "in order to efficiently drain the water, to make the drain opening larger" and "to increase the effect of splash prevention and to make the drain opening too inconvenient". To determine the size of the drain opening.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a splash preventing cover for improving both the "water splash prevention effect" and the "drainage effect".

The water splash prevention cover of the present invention is attached to a shower head having a nozzle for discharging water, and includes: a cylindrical body that surrounds the discharge opening of the nozzle and is coupled to the shower head, and a cylindrical body The end faces are a plurality of sheets that are alternately arranged in a staggered manner with a gap therebetween. Further, the plurality of sheets prevent water from being ejected from the ejection openings from splashing around, and allow water to flow out from the gap between the sheets.

In the water splash prevention cover of the present invention having the above configuration, the plurality of thin plates are alternately arranged in a staggered manner across the gap on the end surface of the cylindrical body. Therefore, the discharge flow path of the water from the inside of the cover member to the outside becomes a snakewalker. In this place, since there is no path in which the water floats straight out from the inside of the cover member, it is possible to prevent the water splash from splashing toward the outside quickly and forcefully. At the same time, there is a gap between the sheets, and by appropriately setting the gap between the sheets, the water can flow out to the outside with a sufficient amount of water.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the water splash prevention cover 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is attached to the shower head 2.

"Summary of Shower Head 2"

Fig. 2A is a bottom view showing only the shower head 2 as viewed from the front, and Fig. 2B is a view showing a state in which the splash prevention cover 1 is attached thereto. As can be seen from FIGS. 1A and 2A, the shower head 2 includes a plurality of projections 3, and a discharge opening 4 is provided therebetween. The discharge opening 4 is connected to a nozzle provided inside the shower head 2, and a water flow through the nozzle is ejected from the discharge opening 4.

The protrusion 3 is provided to contact the scalp to improve the massage effect, and is not essential in the present invention. In other words, the water splash preventing cover 1 of the present invention can also be used by being attached to a shower head which does not have such a projection 3.

"The composition of the cover 1 for splash prevention"

In the third drawing, only a perspective view showing the splash preventing cover 1 is shown, and Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the splash preventing cover 1 viewed from directly below.

As can be seen from Fig. 3, the splash preventing cover 1 is composed of a cylindrical body 10 coupled to the shower head, and a plurality of thin plates 20 and 30 provided on the end surface 11 of the cylindrical body. The cylindrical body 10 of the water splash prevention cover 1 surrounds all of the discharge openings 4 from the outer side. Way, connect to the shower head 2.

In the illustrated example, the plurality of thin plates 20 and 30 are located on two imaginary concentric circles "X" and "Y" having different diameters. In this embodiment, each of the thin plates on the inner concentric circle "X" is referred to as "inner sheet 20", and each of the thin plates on the outer concentric circle "Y" is referred to as "outer sheet 30".

As can be seen from the third and fourth figures, the "inner sheet 20" and the "outer sheet 30" are alternately arranged in a staggered manner across the end faces 11 of the cylindrical body 10, and are interposed between the sheets. The gap forms a flow path "L".

In other words, the water sprayed from the discharge opening 4 of the shower head 2 is temporarily stored in the space surrounded by the cover 1 and the scalp, and then flows out to the outside through the flow path "L". At this time, the shape of the flow path "L" realized by the arrangement of the sheet sheets 20, 30 peculiar to the present invention can prevent the splash from splashing rapidly and strongly toward the surroundings while smoothly flowing out to the outside. For this principle, the following will be explained.

The effect of the shape of the flow path "L"

Fig. 5A is a partially enlarged view showing the bottom surface of the splash preventing cover 1 shown in Fig. 4, in which two outer sheet members 30 and one inner sheet member 20 are included. Fig. 5B is a view showing a state in which the portion is viewed from the side surface direction of the water splash prevention cover 1. In Fig. 5B, although the inner sheet 25 of the center is depicted as being slightly higher than the outer sheet 30 on both sides thereof, for the purpose of clarity of illustration, virtually all of the sheets 20, 30 are at the same height. It is better.

In Fig. 5B, the width "K" of the inner sheet 20 is larger than the interval "J" of the adjacent two outer sheets 30, and the inner sheet 20 extends in the circumferential direction across the two outer sheets. 30 is the full width of "J". That is, when viewed from the side direction of the cover 1, the inner sheet 20 and the outer sheet 30 are blocked, and the opposite state cannot be seen. In other words, there is no linear flow path in the radial direction of the cylindrical body 10, and only the meandering flow path "L" as shown in Fig. 5A exists.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the splash from splashing quickly and strongly from the inside of the cover 1 toward the outside. On the other hand, there is a "gap in the radial direction" between the inner sheet 20 and the outer sheet 30, and there is also a gap between the inner sheet 20 and the outer sheet 30, and the gap is appropriately set. The gap size allows the water to flow out to the outside with a gentle but sufficient flow.

Fig. 5C shows a modification of Fig. 5B. In this example, the inner sheet 20 does not extend across the entire width of the space "J" of the outer sheet 30, and there is a gap "Q". That is, there is a flow path through a straight line in the radial direction of the gap "Q". In this case, the effect of preventing the splash of water from splashing rapidly and flowing out at a sufficient flow rate is inferior to the case of FIG. 5B. However, even in this case, the effect can be sufficiently obtained by narrowing the size of the gap "Q".

The sheet sheets 20, 30 are arranged to traverse the entire circumference of the cylindrical body 10, and are optimally arranged as shown in Fig. 5B. However, if at least one of the circumferential walls of the tubular body 10 is disposed as shown in Fig. 5B, a certain degree of this effect can be obtained. And the more the number, the effect The more it is promoted.

Further, even if all of the sheet sheets 20 and 30 are arranged in a relationship as shown in Fig. 5C, the sheet sheets 20 and 30 are alternately arranged in a staggered manner with a gap therebetween, and the size of the gap "Q" is set to be small. Can get a certain degree of effect.

Other Implementations

In the example shown in the figure, in particular, as shown in Fig. 4, two concentric circles "X" and "Y" are assumed, and the inner sheet 20 and the outer sheet are arranged on the concentric circles along the circles. 30. However, in the present invention, even in such a configuration, the plurality of thin plates may be alternately arranged alternately on the end faces of the tubular body 10 so as to have a gap therebetween. It is not necessary to arrange the thin plates regularly on the two concentric circles as shown in the embodiment.

For example, when the arrangement of the inner sheet sheets 20 is considered to be "inside row" and the arrangement of the outer sheet sheets 30 is considered to be "outside row", the "inside column" and "outside column" are centered. It is also possible to move two circles, which may be a suitable shape other than a circle. In the example shown in the figure, the circle "X" is "inside column" and the circle "Y" is "outside column".

Further, the plurality of thin plates 20 and 30 are not required to belong to the explicit "two columns", and may be arranged alternately in a staggered manner as long as they have a gap therebetween.

In addition, the cylindrical body 10 may not have a cylindrical shape, and may be in the form of a shower head, such as a four-corner cylinder or an elliptical cylinder. shape.
