Description

Shower head

The present invention relates to a showerhead which can eject hot water mixed with fine bubbles from a water spray hole.

The fine air bubbles having a diameter of 50 μm or less mixed in hot water have a large specific surface area, and therefore, for example, a large amount of sebum such as human body can be adsorbed and removed. Since the specific surface area is increased as the diameter of the fine bubbles is smaller, it is preferable to reduce the diameter of the fine bubbles as much as possible in order to improve the cleaning function as described above.

Patent Document 1 listed below discloses a liquid ejecting apparatus which can efficiently and densely generate fine bubbles. This liquid ejection device can be applied to a shower head.

In the liquid ejecting apparatus described in Patent Document 1, a liquid flow path such as hot water includes a liquid introduction path, a liquid flow revolving path connected to a flow side below the liquid introduction path, and a contraction flow path connected to the liquid flow. The flow side below the convoluted path; the expansion channel is connected to the flow side below the contraction flow path. The liquid flow swirling path is provided with a liquid flow returning rotor; the diameter of the contracting flow path is set to be smaller than the diameter of the liquid flow swirling path. Further, the diameter of the expansion channel is set to be larger than the diameter of the contraction flow path. The expansion channel is in communication with the liquid discharge port.

Further, the liquid ejecting apparatus described in Patent Document 1 includes a gas introduction path of a gas such as air, and the gas introduction path communicates with the outside of the liquid ejecting apparatus, and is in the liquid flow swirling path or the contraction flow path, on the downstream side. Set the opening. Further, in the liquid ejecting apparatus described in Patent Document 1, a conical flow scattering surface is provided, and the liquid flow scattering surface is close to the inside of the expansion channel and faces the opening range of the contraction channel.

In such a liquid ejecting apparatus, a liquid introduced through a liquid introduction path is caused to flow into a swirl flow by a liquid flow in a swirling path of the liquid flow, and the air pressure generated at this time is used to make the air The gas is mixed into the vortex flow through the gas introduction path to generate a gas-liquid mixed fluid. The generated gas-liquid mixed fluid increases its flow velocity and swirling frequency as it passes through the contraction passage, and slowly generates fine bubbles in the gas-liquid mixed fluid by the shearing force. Thereafter, in the expansion channel, the vortex flow is broken by the centrifugal force, and the vortex is broken, and the bubbles contained in the gas-liquid mixed fluid are made fine, and many fine bubbles are generated. Further, a part of the gas-liquid mixed fluid hits the scattering surface of the liquid flow, so that the eddy current is completely destroyed, and fine bubbles are generated. The liquid containing a plurality of fine bubbles thus generated is ejected to the outside through the liquid ejection port. [Progress Technical Literature] [Patent Literature]

According to the shower head of the present invention, generation of fine bubbles can be promoted, and simplification of the structure can be achieved.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a first embodiment of a shower head according to the present invention. Figure 2 is a front view of the showerhead of Figure 1. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the A-A of the shower head of Figure 2. Fig. 4 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the main part in which the solid circle of the shower head of Fig. 3 is enlarged.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the shower head 1 includes a main body portion 2, a water spray plate 3, and a hot water communication passage 4. In the main body portion 2, an introduction flow path 18 for introducing hot water is formed. The water spray plate 3 has a plate-like portion 20 and is provided with a plurality of water spray portions 19 extending through the plate portion 20 in the plate thickness direction. The hot water communication passage 4 is formed between the main body portion 2 and the plate-like portion 20 of the water spray plate 3, and communicates both the introduction flow path 18 and the water spray portion 19.

In the shower head 1, a discharge flow path 26 that communicates with the communication flow path 4 is formed in the water spray portion 19. In the water spray unit 19, when the flow path width in the thickness direction of the plate-like portion 20 of the water spray plate 3 is the thickness of the discharge flow path 26, the thinned portion 34 having a small thickness is provided in the discharge flow path 26. The upper flow side is provided on the flow side below the discharge flow path 26 with the thick portion 35 having a thickness smaller than that of the thinned portion 34.

Further, in the shower head 1, the portion on the upstream side of the thickened portion 35 is a connecting portion between the thinned portion 34 and the thickened portion 35, and the thickness thereof is preferably increased from the thickness of the thinned portion 34.

Further, the air introduction path 39 that communicates with the outside of the shower head 1 and introduces air is preferably connected to and connected to the thinned portion 34 of the water spray portion 19.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 , the main body portion 2 includes a base portion 5 and an overlapping portion 6 each having a disk shape. The base portion 5 is a member having a slight thickness, and hot water is introduced into the inside thereof, and is sent to the overlapping portion 6, thereby forming a first introduction flow path 7 having a circular cross section. The first introduction flow path 7 has an inlet 8 at the side end portion of the base portion 5, an outlet 9 at the center portion, and is bent in an L shape. That is, the first introduction flow path 7 extends straight from the inlet 8 toward the central axis of the base portion 5, and is bent in an L shape near the central axis, and has the bent portion 10. The inlet 8 of the first introduction flow path 7 is formed at the front end of the projection portion 11, and the projection portion 11 projects from one portion of the outer peripheral portion of the base portion 5 toward the radially outer side of the base portion 5. The inlet 8 can be connected to the other end of the hose for water inlet, one end of which is connected to the faucet fitting.

Further, in the base portion 5, a plurality of fixing holes 12 are formed in the outer peripheral portion in the thickness direction of the base portion 5. The fixing hole 12 is used for the combination of the water spray plate 3 and the base portion 5, and is disposed at an outer peripheral portion of the base portion 5 at a predetermined interval.

The overlapping portion 6 is smaller than the size of the base portion 5 and is a disk-shaped member having a thickness. In the overlapping portion 6, a second introduction flow path 13 having a circular cross section in which the hot water is introduced and sent out is formed inside. The second introduction flow path 13 is located on the central axis of the overlapping portion 6, and penetrates the overlapping portion 6 in the front and rear directions. The overlapping portion 6 makes the inlet portion 14 of the second introduction flow path 13 coincide with the outlet 9 of the first introduction flow path 7 of the base portion 5, and overlaps the base portion 5, and forms the main body portion 2 with the base portion 5. In the portion where the overlapping portion 6 overlaps with the base portion 5, the O-ring 15 is inserted in the portion close to the inlet 14 of the first introduction flow path 7 and the inlet 14 of the second introduction flow path 13 to secure the base portion 5 and the overlapping portion 6 Water tightness.

The second introduction flow path 13 formed in the overlapping portion 6 has an enlarged diameter portion 17 on the outlet 16 side, and gradually increases in inner diameter toward the outlet 16 and gradually increases in sectional area. The enlarged diameter portion 17 is curved as it expands outward toward the inner surface of the outlet 16 .

In the main body portion 2, the first introduction flow path 7 and the second introduction flow path 13 form an introduction flow path 18 into which hot water is introduced. The hot water introduced into the introduction flow path 18 and flowing out from the introduction flow path 18 is ejected from the water spray portion 19 formed in the water spray plate 3.

The water spray plate 3 has a flat disk-shaped portion 20 of a slight thickness as a plate-like portion. A water spray portion 19 is formed between the center portion and the outer peripheral portion of the disk-shaped portion 20. The water spray portion 19 and the disk-shaped portion 20 are disposed on concentric circles and extend in the thickness direction of the disk-shaped portion 20. The plate-like portion 20 of the water spray plate 3 does not have to be in a flat shape, and may have a shape that is slightly curved in the direction of the front and back of the water spray plate 3.

Further, in the water spray plate 3, a cylindrical tubular portion 21 having a thickness is provided on the outer peripheral portion. The tubular portion 21 is disposed from the outer side of the water spray portion 19 to the outer peripheral end of the water spray plate 3. The inner diameter of the tubular portion 21 coincides with the outer diameter of the overlapping portion 6 of the body portion 2. Further, in the tubular portion 21, a plurality of attachment holes 22 are formed to penetrate the longitudinal direction of the tubular portion 21 and penetrate the thickness direction of the water spray plate 3. The mounting hole 22 is for attaching the water spray plate 3 to the base portion 5 of the body portion 2. By aligning the mounting hole 22 with the fixing hole 12 formed in the base portion 5, the water spray plate 3 is overlapped with the base portion 5, and the fastening member of the screw or the like is transferred from the mounting hole 22 to the fixing hole 12, and the water is sprayed. The plate 3 is combined with the base 5 to be combined into a shower head 1. In the shower head 1, the water spray plate 3 is disposed at an outlet formed in the introduction flow path 18 of the main body portion 2, that is, on the outer side of the outlet 16 of the second introduction flow path 13 of the overlapping portion 6.

The overlapping portion 6 overlaps with the base portion 5. For example, when the water spray plate 3 is coupled to the base portion 5, the overlapping portion 6 is fitted to the inside of the cylindrical portion 21 of the water spray plate 3, and the like, and the water spray plate 3 and the base portion 5 can be used. The combination is achieved at the same time. Of course, the overlapping portion 6 may be overlapped with the base portion 5 before the water spray plate 3 is mounted, and may be fixed by the fastening member. An O-ring 23 is interposed between the tubular portion 21 and the overlapping portion 6 to ensure watertightness between the overlapping portion 6 and the tubular portion 21. Further, the O-ring 24 is inserted into the portion of the tubular portion 21 that is in contact with the base portion 5 of the main body portion 2, and the watertightness between the base portion 5 and the tubular portion 21 can be ensured.

In the shower head 1 thus combined, the hot water communication passage 4 is formed between the body portion 2 and the disk-shaped portion 20 of the water spray plate 3. Specifically, a gap between the overlapping portion 6 of the main body portion 2 and the disk-shaped portion 20 of the water spray plate 3 serves as the communication flow path 4. The communication flow path 4 is formed in parallel with the disk-shaped portion 20 of the water spray plate 3 so as to communicate with both the introduction flow path 18 of the main body portion 2 and the water spray portion 19 of the water spray plate 3.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in the water spray portion 19 of the water spray plate 3, a circular water spray hole 25 is formed in the disk-shaped portion 20. Further, in the water spray portion 19, as shown in an enlarged view of FIG. 4, the discharge flow path 26 communicates with the communication flow path 4 and also communicates with the water spray hole 25. Further, the discharge flow path 26 is formed by the first discharge flow path 27, the second discharge flow path 28, and the third discharge flow path 29. The first discharge flow path 27, the second discharge flow path 28, and the third discharge flow path 29 are arranged in order from the upstream side to the downstream side in the flow direction of the hot water from the communication flow path 4 to the water injection hole 25.

The first discharge flow path 27 extends in the thickness direction of the disk-shaped portion 20 of the water spray plate 3, and is perpendicular to the communication flow path 4. Further, the first discharge flow path 27 has a reduced diameter portion 32 on the inlet 30 side, which gradually decreases toward the inner diameter of the outlet 31, and the sectional area thereof gradually decreases. The reduced diameter portion 32 is curved as it is narrowed toward the inner side of the inner surface of the outlet 31. Further, the first discharge flow path 27 has an enlarged diameter portion 33 on the outlet 31 side, and gradually increases in inner diameter toward the outlet 31, and the sectional area increases. The enlarged diameter portion 33 is curved as it expands outward toward the inner surface of the outlet 31.

The second discharge flow path 28 is perpendicular to the first discharge flow path 27 and extends in parallel with the communication flow path 4. When the flow path width in the thickness direction of the disk-shaped portion 20 of the water spray plate 3 is set to the thickness of the second discharge flow path 28, the thickness of the second discharge flow path 28 is thin on the upstream side. Thin portion 34. Further, in the second discharge flow path 28, a thick portion 35 having a thickness smaller than that of the thinned portion 34 is provided on the downstream side. For example, the thickness of the thickened portion 35 can be set to about 1.5 to 3 times the thickness of the thinned portion 34.

The third discharge flow path 29 extends in the thickness direction of the disk-shaped portion 20 of the water spray plate 3, and is perpendicular to the second discharge flow path 28. The third discharge flow path 29 communicates with the thickened portion 35 of the second discharge flow path 28 in the inlet 36. The outlet 37 of the third discharge flow path 29 is disposed on the surface of the water spray plate 3 to form a water spray hole 25.

Further, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in the water spray portion 19 of the water spray plate 3, a circular air introduction hole 38 is formed in a portion of the disk-shaped portion 20 which is located inside the water spray hole 25. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, in the shower head 1, an air introduction path 39 that communicates with the outside of the shower head 1 via the air introduction hole 38 and introduces air is formed. The air introduction path 39 is disposed in the water spray unit 19. Further, the air introduction path 39 is formed by the first air introduction path 40 and the second air introduction path 41. The first air introduction path 40 and the second air introduction path 41 are arranged in order from the upstream side to the downstream side in the air introduction direction from the air introduction hole 38 to the second discharge flow path 28 of the discharge flow path 26.

The first air introduction path 40 extends in the thickness direction of the disk-shaped portion 20 of the water spray plate 3. The flow end 42 of the first air introduction path 40 in the air introduction direction is disposed on the surface of the water spray plate 3 to form an air introduction hole 38. The second air introduction path 41 is connected to the lower end 44 of the first air introduction path 40 at the upstream end 43 and communicates with the first air introduction path 40. A portion of the second air introduction path 41 on the side of the flow end 43 extends in the thickness direction of the water spray plate 3, and a portion of the second air introduction path 41 on the side of the flow end 45 extends so as to extend the second discharge flow of the discharge flow path 26. The thickened portion 35 of the track 28 is wound back. In this manner, the lower end 45 of the second air introduction path 41 is connected to the thinned portion 34 of the second discharge flow path 28 of the discharge flow path 26, and communicates with the thinned portion 34. In the shower head 1, the outside air introduced from the air introduction hole 38 can be introduced into the hot water through the air introduction path 39 and introduced into the thinned portion 34 of the discharge flow path 26.

Further, in the shower head 1, the first discharge flow path 27, the second discharge flow path 28, and the second air introduction path 41 of the water spray portion 19 of the water spray plate 3 are formed by two ring members 46 and 47. Each of the ring members 46 and 47 has a ring shape in plan view. A portion of the inside of the annular member 46 is formed in a portion of the second air introduction path 41 on the upper end 43 side. Further, on the outer side of the ring-shaped member 46, a projection 48 projecting from the front surface toward the front side is provided. Further, in the ring-shaped member 46, an opening 49 penetrating the front and the back is formed between the portion on the upper end 43 side of the second air introduction path 41 and the projection 48. The cylindrical portion 50 can be inserted into the opening 49 of the ring-shaped member 46 and protruded from the surface of the ring-shaped member 47 in front of it. The first discharge flow path 27 is formed inside the cylindrical portion 50.

In the water spray portion 19 of the water spray plate 3, a notched portion 51 which is notched from the back surface toward the surface side is formed, so that the ring-shaped members 46, 47 are accommodated, and a portion facing the outer side of the notch portion 51 is formed to face the water spray plate. A notched recess 52 on the surface side of 3.

In the shower head 1, the water spray portion 19 of the water spray plate 3 is formed as follows. That is, the projection 48 is fitted into the recess 52, and the ring-shaped member 46 is attached to the inside of the notch portion 51. At this time, the second discharge flow path 28 that communicates with the third discharge flow path 29 is formed, and the third discharge flow path 29 is formed in the water spray plate 3, and the portion of the second air introduction path 41 on the upper flow end 43 side. The first air introduction path 40 formed in the water spray plate 3 is connected to and communicates with each other. Thereafter, the cylindrical portion 50 is inserted into the inside of the opening 49, and the ring-shaped member 47 is attached to the inside of the notch portion 51. Between the ring-shaped members 46 and 47, a portion of the second air introduction path 41 on the lower flow end 45 side is formed, and the second air introduction path 41 is formed at the downstream end 45 and the second discharge flow path 28 by the thinned portion 34. Connected and connected.

In this manner, the first discharge flow path 27, the second discharge flow path 28, and the second air introduction path 41 of the water spray portion 19 of the water spray plate 3 are formed by the two ring members 46 and 47, so that the water spray portion 19 is formed. The formation becomes easier. Further, the unitization can be achieved, and the combination of the water spray unit 19 is good, and the combination accuracy is also good.

In the shower head 1 as described above, hot water containing a plurality of fine bubbles having a diameter of 50 μm or less can be ejected from the water spray hole 25. The shower head 1 is connected to the inlet 8 of the first introduction flow path 7 (formed at the base portion 5 of the main body portion 2 of FIGS. 1 to 3), and is connected to the other end portion of the hose for water inlet, and one end portion of the hose is connected The faucet accessories are connected. The hot water introduced into the first introduction flow path 7 by the hose is changed to a direction slightly orthogonal to the direction in which the bent portion 10 flows, and flows out from the outlet 9 and is introduced into the base portion 6 through the inlet 14 . The second introduction is in the flow path 13. The hot water introduced into the second introduction flow path 13 expands outward along the inner surface of the diameter-enlarged portion 17 when passing through the diameter-enlarged portion 17, and flows out from the outlet 16 into the communication flow path 4. Since the enlarged diameter portion 17 is curved to expand outward from the inner surface, it is possible to suppress turbulent flow such as turbulence in the hot water flowing out of the outlet 16 to the communication flow path 4.

The hot water that has flowed out into the discharge flow path 4 flows radially from the center portion toward the outer peripheral portion through the discharge flow path 4, and flows to the water spray portion 19. In the water spray unit 19 of FIG. 4, the hot water flows out into the first discharge flow path 27 through the reduced diameter portion 32, and further, the diameter-enlarged portion 33 suppresses the occurrence of turbulent flow such as vortex, and flows out to the second discharge. Inside the flow channel 28. In the second discharge flow path 28, the hot water flows into the thinned portion 34 provided on the upstream side, and then flows out to the thickened portion 35 provided on the downstream side. As described above, when the hot water flows into the thinned portion 34, the water pressure is suddenly reduced. With the decompression at this time, a negative pressure is generated in the thinned portion 34. With this negative pressure, the air outside the water spray plate 3 is sucked into the first air introduction path 40 through the air introduction hole 38. The sucked air flows into the second air introduction path 41, and is introduced into the second discharge flow path 28 from the downstream end 45, and becomes a bubble introduced into the hot water.

When the hot water mixed with the air as a bubble flows into the thick portion 35, the water pressure suddenly increases. With the pressurization at this time, the bubbles mixed in the hot water are pulverized in the thickened portion 35 to be fine, and fine bubbles are generated. The hot water containing fine bubbles is then introduced into the third discharge flow path 29, and is discharged from the water spray hole 25 to the outside of the water spray unit 19. Since the fine bubbles are extremely small in diameter compared with the inner diameter of the water spray hole 25, they can easily pass through the water spray holes 25. The hot water containing a large number of fine bubbles ejected from the shower head 1 has a high cleaning function because the specific surface area of the fine bubbles is large. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the thickness of the portion on the upstream side of the thickened portion 35 (that is, the portion where the thinned portion 34 and the thickened portion 35 are joined) can be sharply increased from the thickness of the thinned portion 34. Specifically, for example, the upper end of the thickened portion 35 may be perpendicular to the lower end of the thinned portion 34. At this time, by the sudden pressure fluctuation caused by the sharp increase in thickness, the bubbles in the thickened portion 35 are more pulverized into fine, and most of the fine bubbles having a smaller diameter are generated, and the hot water containing the fine bubbles is raised. Features.

In this manner, in the shower head 1, the discharge flow path 26 that communicates with the communication flow path 4 in the stroke of the water spray portion 19 is formed. When the flow path width in the thickness direction of the plate-like portion 20 of the water spray plate 3 is set to the thickness of the discharge flow path 26 in the water spray portion 19, the thinned portion 34 having a small thickness is provided in the discharge flow path. The upper side of the discharge portion 26 is provided on the flow side of the discharge flow path 26, and the thickness of the thinned portion 34 is thick.

Further, in the shower head 1, the air introduction path 39 communicates with the outside of the shower head 1 to introduce air, and is connected to and connected to the thinned portion 34 of the water spray portion 19.

Therefore, in the shower head 1, the generation of fine bubbles can be promoted and the structure can be simplified. Further, in the shower head 1, since the air introduction hole 38 formed by the flow end 42 in the air introduction direction in the air introduction path 39 is disposed in the water spray plate 3, the air introduction hole 38 can be prevented from being caused by the user's hand of the shower head 1. Blocked. Therefore, the shower head 1 can stably introduce the outside air. Further, since the air introduction hole 38 is disposed on the same surface as the water spray hole 25 on the surface of the water spray plate 3, the appearance of the shower head 1 is good.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the essential part of the second embodiment of the shower head according to the present invention. The same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those of the shower head 1a, and the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in Fig. 5, the difference between the shower head 1a and the shower head 1 of Fig. 4 is at the position of the air introduction hole 38a. Therefore, the position of the first air introduction path 40a in the air introduction path 39 and the connection position between the first air introduction path 40a and the second air introduction path 41 are also different.

In the shower head 1a, the air introduction hole 38a is disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the water spray plate 3. Therefore, the first air introduction path 40a having the flow end 42a formed above the air introduction hole 38a does not extend in the thickness direction of the water spray plate 3, but extends in the radial direction. Further, the direction in which the lower end 44a of the first air introduction path 40a and the upper end 43a of the second air introduction path 41 are not in the direction of the thickness of the water spray plate 3, but in the radial direction.

As described above, the air introduction hole 38a may be provided on the outer peripheral portion of the water spray plate 3 as long as it is not disposed on the surface of the water spray plate 3 as long as it is less likely to be blocked by the hand of the user of the shower head 1a. The shower head 1a can stably introduce the outside air. Further, the structure of the shower head 1a is not significantly changed from the position of the air introduction hole 38a as compared with the shower head 1 of Figs. 1 to 4, and therefore, the shower head 1a is also the same as the shower head 1, and the generation of fine bubbles can be promoted. Achieve simplification of the structure.

Further, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. The shape and structure of the main body portion and the water spray plate, or the shape and structure of the water spray portion, and the like can be various. [Industrial use possibilities]
