The invention relates to a backwash spray nozzle for a granular filter material filter device. The backwash spray nozzle comprises a connecting head, a cylinder body, nozzles and a base plate, wherein an upper ring connected with the connecting head is arranged at one end of the cylinder body, the base plate is arranged at the other end of the cylinder body, a cone head is arranged in the base plate, and 1-3 rows of nozzles are arranged on the cylinder body; 6-18 nozzles are arranged in one row, central angles alpha between every two adjacent nozzles in each row are equal, the nozzles in different rows are arrayed in a staggered manner, and staggering angles are equal to (1 / 2)alpha. In a use process, the spray nozzle is mounted at the bottom of a filter layer, a high-speed water inlet pipe and a high-speed air inlet pipe are communicated with each other, gas-water mixed liquid is ejected at high speed in a radial manner to drive peripheral filter materials to be diffused outwards at high speed to form three-phase flow of the gas, the water and the filter materials, the gas with the least specific gravity rapidly floats to penetrate through the whole filter layer due to a buoyancy effect, the three-phase flow is transversely and longitudinally covered, the filter materials are locally collided, rubbed and stirred with one another, and the three-phase flow transmits the energy to the periphery, so as to realize the effective backwash and regeneration of the whole filter layer. The backwash spray nozzle is simple in structure and good in backwash effect and is convenient to use.
