Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of micro-bubbles in household cleaning equipment, and particularly relates to a shower head joint with a micro-bubble generating structure. Background Art
[0002] Microbubbles refer to bubbles whose diameters range from tens of micrometers to hundreds of nanometers when they occur. These bubbles are between micron bubbles and nanobubbles, and have physical and chemical properties that conventional bubbles do not have. They can be used in household cleaning scenarios including laundry and dishwashing.
[0003] In the related art, the device for generating micro-bubbles is relatively large. In order to generate micro-bubbles, one way is to replace the existing conventional shower head with a micro-nano bubble water shower head with a built-in micro-bubble generator, which will make the replaced conventional shower head idle; another way is to install the micro-bubble generator on the shower head, specifically, to combine the micro-bubble generator with the water supply hose of the water-using equipment, thereby increasing the overall length of the connection between the water-using equipment and the water supply hose. As the length of the connection between the shower head and the water supply hose increases, the center of gravity position changes, which reduces the clamping stability of the shower head in the shower head fixing seat and is easy to fall during use, resulting in a decreased user experience.
