The water guide member 20 is disposed below the water circulating member 10; an upper surface of the water guide member 20 is configured as a tapered water guide surface 21 opposite to the water outlet 12; and the tapered water guide surface 21 is a tapered surface projecting in a direction towards the water outlet 12.
PIDM143561PAU
2014404792 28 Sep 2018
Lower ends of the plurality of shunting members 30 are connected to the tapered water guide surface 21 equidistantly along a circumferential direction of the tapered water guide surface 21, and upper ends of the plurality of shunting members 30 are connected with the water circulating member 10 respectively, so as to connect the water circulating member 10 with the water guide member 20. The lower ends of the plurality of shunting members 30 are located between an apex and an outer circumference of the tapered water guide surface 21. In other words, in a radial direction of the tapered water guide surface 21, the lower ends of the plurality of shunting members 30 have a predetermined distance from the apex and the outer circumference of the tapered water guide surface 21 respectively.
A sprinkling process of the sprinkling device 1 according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below. As shown in Fig. 3 (broken lines in Fig. 3 indicating a flow direction of a water flow), the water flow enters the water circulating passage of the water circulating member 10 through the water inlet 11 of the water circulating member 10, and flows out of the water outlet 12 along the water circulating passage. The water flow out of the water outlet 12 is impinged at the apex of the tapered water guide surface 2; the water flow presents a sheet shape after passing by the apex of the tapered water guide surface 21, and then is scattered out in a number of directions by encountering with the plurality of shunting members 30; the water flow scattered in a number of directions converges again when passing by the outer circumference of the tapered water guide surface 21; finally forming the water flow sprinkled uniformly in a 360-degree sheet shape.
For the sprinkling device 1 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, by providing the water guide member 20 having the tapered water guide surface 21, and the plurality of shunting members 30, it is possible to sprinkle uniformly in the form of the 360-degree sheet shape. Compared with the sprinkling device in the related art, the sprinkling device 1 according to embodiments of the present disclosure has a better sprinkling effect. Therefore, a door body and a door seal of the washing machine and clothes therein may be washed simultaneously, such that a detergent is fully dissolved, foam residue is reduced, and a washing effect is improved while decreasing the washing time of the clothes. Thus, the sprinkling device 1 according to embodiments of the present disclosure has advantages of enhancing a utilization rate of the detergent, reducing the washing time and improving the washing effect.

A lower surface of the water guide member 20 is circular, and the tapered water guide surface 21 is a conical surface. A cross section of the shunting member 30 extends along the radial direction of the tapered water guide surface 21, and connection lines, between two adjacent shunting members 30 and the apex of the tapered water guide surface 21, form an included angle of 120 degrees. Hence, it is possible to improve a guiding effect of the tapered water guide surface 21 on the water flow, and a shunting effect of the shunting member 30 on the water flow, thereby further enhancing uniformity of water sprinkling.
Further, the water circulating member 10 is configured as a substantially cylindrical shape; the water circulating passage is configured as a cylindrical passage; the water inlet 11 is communicated with an upper end of the water circulating passage while the water outlet 12 is communicated with a lower end of the water circulating passage; a central axis of the water circulating passage coincides with a central axis of the tapered water guide surface 21. Therefore, the water flow may be more smooth within the water circulating passage of the water circulating member 10, and it may be ensured that the water flow out of the water outlet 12 is accurately impinged at the apex of the tapered water guide surface 21, thus further improving the sprinkling effect of the sprinkling device 1.
In some specific embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Fig. 2, the water circulating passage has a diameter of 6 to 9 mm; a distance A between the apex of the tapered water guide surface 21 and the lower end face of the water circulating member 10 is 3 to 5 mm; a taper angle B of the tapered water guide surface 21 ranges from 120° to 130°; a distance C between the lower end of the shunting member 30 and the outer circumference of the tapered water guide surface 21 is 1.5 to 2.5 mm. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the sprinkling effect of the sprinkling device 1, and reduce a volume of the sprinkling device 1 to facilitate installation of the sprinkling device 1 within the washing machine.
