However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of regions and layers is exaggerated. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar structures, and therefore their detailed descriptions will be omitted.

[0020] The described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Numerous specific details are provided in the following description to give a full understanding of embodiments of the present invention. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of the present invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details described, or other methods, components, materials, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of the present invention.

[0021] The following example describes a dispenser of this utility model. This example is only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort should be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 3 According to an embodiment of this utility model, a distributor is provided, including a distributor body. The distributor body includes an inlet section 1, a distribution section 5, and an outlet section 6. The inlet section 1 is provided with an inlet channel, and the distributor body is integrally formed. A throttling section 3 and an upper transition section 2 connecting the throttling section 3 and the inlet section 1 are provided between the inlet section 1 and the distribution section 5. A lower transition section 4 is provided between the throttling section 3 and the distribution section 5. The throttling section 3 has a throttling channel, the diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the inlet channel. The upper transition section 2 and the lower transition section 4 have a cavity structure inside. The distribution section 5 includes a cylindrical cavity 51, and a flow-dividing cone 62 is provided inside the cylindrical cavity 51. The outlet section 6 has a plurality of outlet ports 61. The throttling section, the upper transition section, and the lower transition section are formed by a rolling process, and the wall thickness of the throttling section is greater than the wall thickness of the cylindrical cavity. The inlet section is also formed by a rolling process, without using machining to remove material. The rolling process forms an inner cavity with a large inner opening and a small outer opening, simplifying the structure. Optionally, the wall thickness of the throttling section is 1.1 to 1.2 times the wall thickness of the cylindrical cavity. In this embodiment, the diameter (inner diameter) of the throttling channel is 4 mm, the wall thickness of the cylindrical cavity is 1.0 mm, and the wall thickness of the throttling section is 1.2 mm. Alternatively, the wall thickness of the cylindrical cavity is 0.8 to 1.0 mm, and the wall thickness of the throttling section is 0.88 to 1.2 mm. Because the wall thickness of the throttling section is increased, even if the diameter of the throttling section is relatively small, it still has sufficient rigidity to prevent bending. The length of the throttling section is 8 mm, which can also be equal to the diameter of the throttling channel.

[0023] In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the upper and lower transition portions is greater than the wall thickness of the cylindrical cavity. Optionally, the lower transition portion is evenly divided into an upper section and a lower section along the axial direction. The upper section is closer to the throttling section, and its wall thickness is greater than that of the cylindrical cavity. The lower section is closer to the cylindrical cavity, and its wall thickness is not less than that of the cylindrical cavity. The wall thickness of the throttling section is greater than that of the lower section, so that the smaller the outer diameter of the distributor body, the greater the wall thickness, preventing bending at the thin-walled, small-diameter section.

[0024] In this embodiment, the wall thickness of the liquid inlet is less than the wall thickness of the cylindrical cavity. When the external pipe is inserted and welded, the rigidity of the liquid inlet is improved by the insertion and welding of the external pipe, and there is no need to increase the thickness.

[0025] The dispenser of this utility model can be obtained through the following operation:

[0026] 1. Cut copper rods of a certain length on a cutting and blanking machine as initial blanks;

[0027] 2. The copper rod is cold-forged using a cold-forging die. The cold-forging die includes a base fixedly mounted on a workbench and a pressing die fixedly connected to a cold-forging head. A cold-forging cavity is provided on the upper surface of the base. The copper rod from step 1 is installed in the cold-forging cavity, and the cold-forging head drives the pressing die downward to complete the cold-forging of the copper rod. After cold-forging, the copper rod has a liquid outlet, a flow divider cone, several liquid outlets, and a cylindrical circumferential wall.

[0028] 3. The semi-finished product processed in step 2 is installed on a rolling compression machine for rolling processing to form the liquid inlet section, upper transition section, throttling section and lower transition section.

[0029] In this embodiment, the liquid outlet of the liquid outlet section is formed by extrusion molding, which reduces the machining process.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
