DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

(19) The present invention will be further described with the drawings and embodiments.

Embodiment 1

(20) Referring to FIGS. 1-6, a shower head with slow vortex rotating water comprises a main body 1, a cover plate 2, an outlet device with slow vortex rotating water, the outlet device further comprises a diverter 3 and an outlet body 4;

(21) One side of the main body 1 is disposed with an inlet joint 11, the other side of the main body is assembled to the cover plate 2; the cover plate 2 is disposed with a plurality of through grooves 21 in the axial direction to assemble the outlet body 4; water flows from the inlet joint 11 to the through grooves 21.

(22) The side surface of the diverter 3 is disposed with two spiral accelerating grooves 31 extending along the axial; water speeds up and is provided with a certain rotating speed after flowing through the spiral accelerating grooves 31. In this embodiment, the flowing rate and the rotating speed of water after flowing out of the spiral accelerating grooves 31 should not be too fast, so the helix angle of the spiral accelerating groove should be not small, preferred 76 in this embodiment, range of 765 is available only if it can meet the requirement, description would not be provided hereafter.

(23) The bottom surface of the diverter 3 is disposed with a column shaped collision chamber 32 concaved in the axial direction; the spiral accelerating grooves 31 are evenly arranged about the axes of the collision chamber at the side surface of the diverter 32 at the side surface of the diverter 3, the end of the spiral accelerating groove extends to the bottom surface of the diverter 3 to connect to the side wall of the collision chamber 32; the end of the two spiral accelerating groove 31 are rotatably symmetrically arranged about the axes of the collision chamber 32, the symmetrical angle is 180. The number of the spiral accelerating grooves 31 can be three or more, only to adjust the interval angle of the spiral accelerating grooves, the interval angle of three spiral accelerating grooves is 120, the interval angle of four spiral accelerating grooves is 90, and the like.

(24) The outlet body 4 is disposed with an accommodating chamber 41 and a vortex rotating chamber 42 connected to each other in the axial direction; the diverter 3 is disposed in the accommodating chamber 41; the vortex rotating chamber 42 is a ball-crown body (a dome shaped body 42) with a flat end face 443 connected to the bottom end of the accommodating chamber 41; the end of the outlet body 4 is disposed with an outlet 43 connected to the top end of the external protruding surface of the vortex rotating chamber 42.

(25) With above configuration, water flows out of the two spiral accelerating grooves 31 with one portion moving straightly along the horizontal direction to impact in the collision chamber 21 and the other portion flowing to the vortex rotating chamber 42 eccentrically, as water has a certain of rotating speed after flowing out of the spiral accelerating groove 31, and the end of the two spiral accelerating grooves 31 are rotatably symmetrically arranged about the axes of the collision chamber, the flowing direction of water from the two spiral accelerating grooves 31 to the vortex rotating chamber 42 are opposite, forming a continuous rotating water along the inner wall of the ball-crown body. As a portion of water impacts in the collision chamber 32, the flowing rate of the rest portion is reduced, a slow vortex rotating water is formed in the vortex rotating chamber.

(26) In this embodiment, the section of the outlet 43 is rounded rectangle. When the slow vortex rotating water flows through the rounded rectangle outlet 43, in the long shaft direction, it flows out along the tangent line of the intersection surface of the vortex rotating chamber 42 and the rounded rectangle outlet 43 and forms with a certain of flare angle due to inertia; in the short shaft direction, as the tangent line of the intersection surface of the vortex rotating chamber 42 and the rounded rectangle outlet 43 is nearly horizontal, the water only impacts. As water flows out of the outlet in slow vortex state, the outlet water type is not traditional fan-shaped, but fan-shaped water particles with rotating angle, similar to wavy shape.

(27) In this embodiment, the axes of the collision chamber 32 of the diverter 3 is disposed with a through hole 33 connected to the top surface of the diverter. Water flowing out of the through hole 33 impacts the slow vortex rotating water in the vortex rotating chamber 42 again, further reducing the rotating speed of the slow vortex rotating water, thus ensuring the particle density of the outlet water.

(28) The external side wall of the accommodating chamber 41 of the outlet body 4 is disposed with two protruding blocks 44 vertical to the side wall of the accommodating chamber 44, the intersection angle of the two protruding blocks 44 is 180.

(29) The internal side wall of the through groove 21 is disposed with four grooves 22 coupled to the protruding blocks 44; the intersection angle of the grooves 22 is 90. The outlet body 4 is inserted to the accommodating chamber 41, so that the protruding blocks 44 are locked to the grooves 22, thus achieving the assembly of the outlet body 4; as there are four grooves 22, the outlet body 4 can be assembled in any direction.

(30) As the shower head of the present invention forms water particles by slow vortex, the outlet effect can be achieved by low flowing volume.

Embodiment 2

(31) Referring to FIGS. 7-9, this embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: the section of the outlet 43 is circular. The slow vortex rotating water flows out of the circular outlet 43 forms a circular hollow water sheet at the front end of the outlet as the eccentric force of the rotating water is larger than the surface tension of water. When the rotating water flows away from the outlet gradually, the eccentric force is reduced; when the eccentric force is smaller than the surface tension, the rotating water retracts again and impacts to form water particles.

Embodiment 3

(32) Referring to FIGS. 10-12, this embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: the section of the outlet 43 is oval. The slow vortex rotating water flows out of the oval outlet 43 forms an oval hollow water sheet at the front end of the outlet as the eccentric force of the rotating water is larger than the surface tension of water. When the rotating water flows away from the outlet gradually, the eccentric force is reduced; when the eccentric force is smaller than the surface tension, the rotating water retracts again and impacts to form water particles.

Embodiment 4

(33) Referring to FIGS. 13-15, this embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: the section of the outlet 43 is tri-forked formed by three rounded rectangles with one ends connected and the other ends intersected in 120. For any half rounded rectangle outlet 43, the rotating water flows out of the tangent line of the vortex rotating chamber 42 and the half rounded rectangle outlet 43 in the long shaft direction and forms with a half of flare angle due to inertia; in the short shaft direction, as the tangent line of the vortex rotating chamber 42 and the half rounded rectangle outlet 43 is nearly horizontal, the water only impacts; the water flows out with tri-forked shaped with a rotating angle.

Embodiment 5

(34) Referring to FIGS. 16-18, this embodiment differs from Embodiment 1 in that: the section of the outlet 43 is cross-shaped by two orthogonal rounded rectangles.

(35) Therefore, the water forms two orthogonal wavy fan-shaped water particles.

(36) Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof for carrying out the patent for invention, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the patent for invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
