DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-5As shown, a shower head includes a water inlet pipe 40, a connecting assembly 30 and a vortex nozzle 10, wherein the water inlet pipe 40 is connected to the vortex nozzle 10 through the connecting assembly 30. The connecting assembly 30 includes a joint 31, a pipe sleeve 33 and a sleeve 32, the joint 31 is connected to the nozzle base 15 arranged below the water inlet 13, the water inlet pipe 40 and the joint 31 are connected through the pipe sleeve 33, and the sleeve 32 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the nozzle base 15. The joint 31 is a hollow joint so that the washing water can enter the vortex nozzle 10 through the joint 31, the joint has an external thread, the nozzle base 15 has an internal thread, and the joint 31 and the nozzle base are fixed by screw connection. An annular nozzle cover 20 is connected above the sleeve 32. The outer diameter of the nozzle cover 20 is larger than the outer diameter of the sleeve 32.

[0022] In one embodiment, the annular nozzle cover 20 includes an upper cover 21 and a lower cover 22, the lower cover 22 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sheath 32, and the upper cover 21 is engaged with the lower cover 22. In other embodiments, the annular nozzle cover 20 can be designed as an integral molding. The upper cover and the lower cover are designed separately to facilitate installation and cleaning of the vortex nozzle.

[0023] The specific structure of the vortex nozzle 10 is described in detail below. The vortex nozzle 10 includes a water inlet 13 and a water outlet 16. A wash water flow channel 17 is provided between the water inlet 13 and the water outlet 16. The wash water flow channel 17 is used to transfer the wash water introduced by the water inlet 13 to the water outlet 16. Usually, the wash water flow channel 17 is the inner side wall of the shower nozzle, that is, the wash water flows out of the shower along the inner side wall.

[0024] In order to achieve the formation of vortex to increase the massage effect of washing water, a water dividing block 12 is set on the inner wall of the washing water flow channel. When the washing water enters the nozzle from the water inlet 13, the water dividing block 12, as a protrusion, is higher than the inner wall of the washing water flow channel 17, it will produce a diversion effect on the washing water, so that the washing water enters the water collecting cavity 11 between adjacent water dividing blocks. In order to achieve a good massage effect, 5 or 6 water dividing blocks can be set, and each water dividing block is evenly spaced along the circumference of the inner wall of the washing water flow channel.

[0025] The water-dividing block 12 can be spherical, spindle-shaped, or any other structure that can divert the wash water to two different water-collecting chambers. The specific shape of the water-dividing block is not limited in the present application. It is only necessary to ensure that the side wall of the water-collecting chamber 11 is a curved surface. Only when the side wall of the water-collecting chamber is a curved surface can the wash water that flows into the water-collecting chamber after being diverted by the water-dividing block generate vortices. This is because, relative to the plane, the curved surface can generate pressure on the wash water toward the inside of the water-collecting chamber. The pressure is not perpendicular to the flow direction of the wash water, but is at a certain angle, and different areas of the curved surface have different pressure directions for the wash water, which will cause the wash water to form vortices inside the water-collecting chamber. The two curved surfaces of the water-collecting chamber 11 can have the same curvature or different curvatures. Using different curvatures can achieve a better effect of generating vortices because the pressures of the two side walls on the wash water are different.

[0026] The water collecting chamber 11 is composed of a first curved surface 111, a second curved surface 112 and a bottom surface 113, wherein the first curved surface 111 and the second curved surface 112 are respectively from two adjacent water dividing blocks 12, so the water dividing block 12 must adopt a curved surface structure to meet the requirement of generating vortex in the water collecting chamber.

[0027] In order to meet different bathing and massage requirements, the water dividing blocks 12 may be of the same shape or of different shapes.

[0028] In one embodiment, the width of the water dividing block 12 near the water inlet 13 is smaller than the width of the water outlet 16. The narrow bottom and wide top structure can better divert the washing water into the water collecting chamber, and at the same time, after the washing water passes through the vortex of the water collecting chamber, it will not generate excessive pressure and affect the massage effect when it flows out of the water outlet.

[0029] Furthermore, an arcuate water retaining strip 14 can be provided on the bottom surface of the water collecting chamber, and both ends of the arcuate water retaining strip 14 are respectively connected to the side walls of the water collecting chamber 11. The additional water retaining strip can buffer the flow speed of the washing water, thereby preventing the washing water from flowing out of the shower head due to the vortex effect and causing excessive water pressure, thereby affecting the massage effect.

[0030] When in use, first install the vortex nozzle into the shower head, then connect the shower head to the shower hose, then turn on the faucet to let water flow into the shower head through the water inlet pipe 40, and the washing water flows into the shower head through the water inlet pipe 40, and then enters the vortex nozzle through the joint. The washing water flow is diverted under the action of the water diversion block 12 and then enters the water collecting chamber 11. Under the action of the water supply pressure, the washing water flow is transported from the water inlet pipe 40 to the water outlet 16. Because the washing water flow generates a vortex in the water collecting chamber 11, the direction and coverage area of ​​the washing water flow can be changed, thereby achieving an enhanced massage effect.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present invention. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technical personnel in this field can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any brief modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
