[0003] The object of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects or problems existing in the background technology and to provide a bubbler whose filter holes are not easily blocked and has a long cleaning cycle.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A side-inlet bubbler is characterized by comprising a filter arranged at the water inlet end; a plurality of filter holes are penetrated through the side wall of the filter, and a downwardly sunken groove is provided on the top.

[0006] Furthermore, the filter is a cylindrical body with an opening at the bottom end; the filter hole is arranged on the side wall of the cylinder, and the groove is arranged on the outer wall of the bottom of the cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the groove is an inverted cone-shaped bowl-shaped structure.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a fixing ring, a diverter and a bubbler body; the filter is located at the top of the bubbler body, and a first clamping ring is provided on the outer wall of the bottom end; the bubbler is a cylindrical body with an opening upward; the fixing ring is clamped in the bubbler body, and the fixing ring includes a fixing ring body; a clamping groove is provided on the inner wall of the fixing ring body; the diverter is located below the filter, and includes a diverter body; a second clamping ring is provided on the outer wall of the top end of the diverter body, and the first clamping ring and the second clamping ring are clamped together in the clamping groove.

[0009] Furthermore, an inverted cone-shaped water trough connected to the diverter body is provided at the bottom end of the diverter body, and a plurality of water holes are penetrated on the side wall of the diverter body; a collapsed portion is also provided on the inner wall of the fixing ring body, and the collapsed portion is provided with a conical surface extending downward and contracting inward, and the conical surface faces the water holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the fixing ring body is provided with a plurality of easily removable protrusions extending downward; the side wall of the bubbler body is provided with a plurality of penetrating air inlets, and the easily removable protrusions are located at the air inlets.

[0014] From the above description of the present invention, it can be seen that compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The filter holes are arranged on the side wall of the filter, and a downwardly sunken groove is arranged on the top of the filter; when water flows through the filter, large particles of impurities are accumulated in the groove on the top, and then enter the bubbler after being filtered and rectified from the filter holes on the side wall; since most of the large particles of impurities are accumulated in the groove on the top of the filter, it is not easy to cause blockage of the filter holes on the side wall.

[0016] 2. The filter is a cylindrical body with an open bottom. The filter holes are arranged on the side wall of the cylinder, and the grooves are arranged on the outer wall of the bottom of the cylinder. The water flow retains large particles of impurities in the grooves of the outer wall of the bottom of the cylinder.

The water flowing out of the water holes is dispersed again by the conical surface in the fixed ring body and mixed with the gas, thereby improving the degree of gas-water mixing.

[0019] 5. A number of easily removable protrusions are evenly distributed on the bottom wall of the fixing ring body, and the easily removable protrusions are located at the air inlet to facilitate the removal of the fixing ring.

[0020] 6. Between the bottom end of the water outlet of the diverter and the inverted conical water tank, there is an upwardly extending convex column facing each water hole. When the water flows to the water hole, part of it is dispersed by the convex column and then flows out of the water hole, which improves the mixing degree of air and water.

[0021] 7. A metal mesh is set below the diverter in the bubbler body to rectify the chaotic water flow.

[0022] 8. An upwardly extending annular wall is arranged on the bottom wall of the bubbler body, and its top wall abuts against the bottom wall of the metal mesh to support the metal mesh and increase the stability of the metal mesh installation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0046] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the bubbler body 4 is a cylindrical body with an opening upward, and its inner wall of the cylinder is provided with a clamping protrusion 41 adapted to the second clamping groove 213, a positioning groove 42 adapted to the positioning rib 214 and a plurality of penetrating air inlets 43 from top to bottom; the cylinder wall of the bubbler body 4 is provided with a plurality of penetrating water outlets 44 and a second annular wall 45 extending upward, the water outlets 44 are distributed in concentric circles along the circumferential direction, and the second annular wall 45 is convexly arranged on the circumference of the outermost circle of water outlets 44 away from the side arm of the cylinder of the bubbler body 4.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, the metal mesh 5 is a circular grid plate, each grid of which forms a rectifying hole 51 , and the outer diameter of the metal mesh 5 is matched with the inner diameter of the cylinder of the bubbler body 4 .

[0048] like Figure 7 As shown, during installation of this embodiment, the metal mesh 5 is first installed into the bubbler body 4, so that the bottom wall of the metal mesh 5 abuts against the top wall of the second ring wall 45; then the fixing ring 2 is extended into the bubbler body 4, so that the second card groove 213 and the positioning convex rib 214 on the outer wall of the fixing ring body 21 are respectively engaged with the card protrusion 41 and the positioning groove 42 in the bubbler body 4, and at this time, the easily removable protrusion 22 of the fixing ring 2 is located at the air inlet 43; then the diverter 3 is extended into the fixing ring body 21 21, so that the second retaining ring 311 of the diverter 3 is located on the first step surface 2111 of the first retaining groove 211 of the fixing ring body 21; finally, the filter 1 is extended into the fixing ring body 21, so that the first retaining ring 13 of the filter 1 is located on the upper surface of the second retaining ring 311 of the diverter 3 and is clamped in the first retaining groove 211.

[0049] When the present embodiment is in use, when the water flows toward the top of the filter 1, the large particles of impurities in the water flow are retained in the groove 12 at the top of the filter 1, and then the water flows toward the filter hole 11 on the side wall of the filter 1, and then flows into the side-entry bubbler after filtering and rectification. The water flow in the side-entry bubbler flows toward the inverted conical water tank 32 at the bottom of the diverter 3, and a part of it impacts the conical surface of the inverted conical water tank 32 to cause splashing, and then the part is scattered by the convex column 313, and finally all flows to the water through hole 312; the other part is retained in the inverted conical water tank 32, and is splashed by the impact of the water flow flowing toward the inverted conical water tank 32, and then the part is scattered by the convex column 313, and finally all flows to the water through hole 312; the water flowing out of the water through hole 312 impacts the conical surface of the first ring wall 212 to be scattered again, and because the water flows from the water through hole The larger water inlet area 312 flows into the smaller flow area formed by the conical surface of the first ring wall 212 and the diverter body 31, accelerating the water flow to form a high-speed jet. The jet will generate negative pressure when it enters the large space in the bubbler body, and absorbs the gas in the atmosphere from the air inlet 43 of the bubbler body 4, and after being evenly mixed with the water flow dispersed by the conical surface of the first ring wall 212, it flows to the metal mesh 5 for rectification and then flows out from the water outlet 44; when disassembly is required, first take out the filter 1 from the fixing ring 2, then take out the diverter 3 from the fixing ring 2, then use a daily flat-blade screwdriver to reach into the air inlet 43, pick up the easily removable protrusion 22 on the fixing ring 2, take out the fixing ring 2, and finally take out the metal mesh 5 from the bubbler body 4 to complete the disassembly.

[0050] In this example, the filter hole 11 is arranged on the side wall of the filter 1, and a groove 12 is arranged on the top of the filter 1. When the water flows through the filter 1, large particles of impurities are stored in the groove 12 on the top, and then enter the side-entry aerator after filtering and rectifying from the filter hole 11 on the side wall. Since most of the large particles of impurities are stored in the groove 12 on the top of the filter 1, it is not easy to cause the filter hole 11 on the side wall to be blocked. In this embodiment, the filter 1 is a cylindrical body with an open bottom, the filter hole 11 is arranged on the side wall, and the groove 12 is arranged on the outer wall of the bottom of the cylinder. The water flow retains large particles of impurities in the groove 12 on the outer wall of the bottom of the cylinder. Since the cylinder wall is a vertical plane, small particles of impurities are filtered and rectified by the filter hole 11, and are first accumulated at the bottom of the cylinder wall under the action of gravity, blocking a small part of the filter hole 11. In this embodiment, the groove 12 is arranged as an inverted conical bowl-shaped structure, and the conical slope of its side wall is conducive to the retention of large particles of impurities. In this embodiment, an inverted conical water tank 32 is provided at the bottom of the body of the diverter 3, and a plurality of water holes 312 are penetrated on the side wall; a disintegration portion is provided on the fixed ring body 21, and the disintegration portion is provided with a conical surface facing the water holes 312 of the body of the diverter 3. When water flows through the diverter 3, a part of the water flow impacts the conical surface of the inverted conical water tank 32 at the bottom of the body of the diverter 3, causing splashing and flowing toward the water holes 312, and the other part is retained in the inverted conical water tank 32, and splashed by the water flow flowing toward the inverted conical water tank 32 and flows toward the water holes 312. The water flowing out of the water holes 312 is dispersed again by the conical surface of the disintegration portion of the fixed ring body 21 and mixed with the gas, thereby improving the mixing degree of gas and water. In this embodiment, a plurality of easily removable protrusions 22 are evenly distributed on the bottom wall of the fixed ring body 21, and the easily removable protrusions 22 are located at the air inlet 43, which is convenient for the removal of the fixed ring 2. In this embodiment, a convex column 313 extending upwardly and facing each water hole 312 is provided between the bottom end of the water hole 312 of the diverter 3 and the inverted conical water tank 32. In the process of water flowing toward the water hole 312, part of the water flow is dispersed by the convex column 313 and then flows out of the water hole 312, thereby improving the mixing degree of air and water. In this embodiment, a metal mesh 5 is provided below the diverter 3 in the bubbler body 4, which can rectify the disordered water flow. In this embodiment, a second annular wall 45 is provided on the bottom wall of the bubbler body 4, and its top wall is abutted and matched with the bottom wall of the metal mesh 5 to support the metal mesh 5 and increase the stability of the installation of the metal mesh 5.
