Definitions

  • the invention relates to a shower head with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a shower head is for example from the document GB-A-2311474 known.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a shower head of the type mentioned so that the emerging soft rays represent a high homogenization of air and water and are stable in this form in this optimal mixing.
  • each water jet generated by the nozzle of a nozzle plate passes into its own mixing chamber, without being disturbed by adjacent jets. This leads to a high homogenization of the rays and an optimal mixing with air, which is sucked in at the bottom of the nozzle plate.
  • the construction is of great simplicity.
  • each nozzle is divided into two to four, in particular sector-shaped openings.
  • the flow rate of the water in the nozzles is thereby increased and thus sucked in more air.
  • the mixing chambers are at least partially open towards the outside in order to suck air into the mixing chamber.
  • the jet disk has radial webs on its upper and / or lower side between its passage openings in order to form mixing chambers at its upper and / or lower side which are aligned with the mixing chambers of the nozzle plate. In this way, it is ensured that the individual water jets coming from the individual mixing chambers in turn reach individual mixing chambers of the jet disk, so that a further improvement of the mixing of water and air and thus a further optimization of the homogenization is achieved.
  • the passage openings of the base plate form a chamfer at the upper edge.
  • the molding work of the bottom plate is improved so that a uniformly shaped beam leaves the bottom plate down.
  • a pre-assembled, mutually secure assembly is achieved when the projections snap into or behind the recesses.
  • the shower head 1 has an outer rotationally symmetrical housing 2, the upper side has a water connection 3, with which the shower head, for example, on the handle of a hand shower can be fastened.
  • the shower head can also be used in other areas.
  • this forms a coaxial central region 4, which can form a turbine for a pulsating jet.
  • this area may also be closed or form other types of water jets.
  • the middle area 4 is outside of a surrounded annular region 5, which is composed of the following parts, which are all arranged coaxially:
  • a bottom plate 6 At the bottom is a bottom plate 6, with a plurality of cylindrical axially parallel passage openings 7, from each of which emerges mixed with air water jet.
  • an annular flat sieve 8 About the bottom plate 6 is an annular flat sieve 8 and about a jet disk 9.
  • a second sieve 10 is shaped the same way as the first sieve 8.
  • the nozzle plate 11 forms on its upper side an annular plate 12 whose top and bottom is perpendicular to the axis of the shower head.
  • nozzles 13 are arranged at regular intervals, which are each composed of four sector-shaped openings 14 in the embodiment. Through the openings 14, the water passes from top to bottom, to get into a mixing chamber 15 of the nozzle plate 11.
  • the nozzle plate 11 forms on its underside 14 mixing chambers 15 corresponding to the fourteen nozzles 13th
  • the outer leg of the cross-sectionally U-shaped underside of the nozzle plate 11 is made shorter than the inner, so that the nozzle plate on the outside forms an annular feed opening 17 through which the water jet flowing through the nozzle plate laterally sucks air.
  • the bottom plate 6 forms with the housing wall a gap-shaped intermediate space 18, can be sucked through the air from below.
  • the emerging from the jet disk 9 beam passes after passing through the screen 8 in the passage opening 7 of the bottom plate 6, wherein the upper edge of the passage opening 7 has a chamfer 20 to provide optimum entry and a good shaping of the beam.
  • the passage openings 7 of the bottom plate 6 thus form the well-mixed jet to let it escape afterwards.
  • the openings or nozzles 13 of the nozzle plate 11, the openings 19 of the jet disk 9 and the passage openings 7 of the bottom plate 6 are present in these parts in equal numbers and are aligned exactly above the other, wherein the mixing chambers are aligned, so that an optimal shaping and Mixing every single beam is guaranteed.
  • projections 21 are on the underside, which eino in correspondingly shaped recesses 22 of the other parts 8 to 11 in order to align the parts exactly to each other.
  • this nose-shaped or pin-shaped projection engages in each case in the recess or behind the recess of the base plate 6, so that after latching all parts form a preassembled module before it is inserted into the shower head.
  • the projections 21 may additionally or alternatively also be formed on the outside and also additionally or alternatively on the bottom plate 6 or on the radiant plate 9 in order to engage in particular latching in corresponding recesses 22 of the other parts.
