This application is the National Stage of PCT/CN2015/076844 filed on Apr. 17, 2015, which claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of Chinese Application No. 201420576114.6 filed on Sep. 30, 2014, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
The embodiments of the present invention relate to a spray head and a body cleaning device.
At present, domestic and foreign spray heads of body cleaning devices are incapable of thoroughly cleaning scalp, especially curly hair, in the course of their use.
The embodiments of the present invention provide a spray head and a body cleaning device, where the spray head can penetrate through hair in the course of its use to thoroughly clean the hair and scalp.
To achieve the above object, the embodiments of the present invention provide the following technical solutions:
A spray head, comprising: a spray head body comprising a panel provided with spray holes, said panel being provided with a plurality of brush rods with spheroids formed at end portions of the brush rods that face away from the spray head body.
In one embodiment, the spheroid is made of an elastic material.
During use of the spray head of the embodiments of the present invention, the brush rods provided on the spray head body can penetrate through a user's hair and the spheroid formed at the end portion of each brush rod can contact the user's scalp, and clean and massage the user's scalp, where the brush rod can serve as a comb such that the water sprayed from the spray holes easily enter the hair to fully contact the hair and scalp, thereby thoroughly cleaning the hair, especially the scalp and the bottom portion of the hair near the scalp.
Therefore, the spray head of the embodiments of the present invention, during its use, can penetrate through hair to thoroughly clean the hair, the scalp, and the bottom portion of the hair near the scalp.
Besides, as the brush rod penetrate through hair, the spheroid formed at the end of each brush rod may contact a user's hair. The spheroid made of an elastic material can be deformed to ease the interaction between the scalp and the spray head. Meanwhile, the spherical structure may increase the force bearing surface of the scalp so as to alleviate the pressure produced on the scalp and result in a massaging effect on the scalp.
In one embodiment, the plurality of brush rods is uniformly distributed at edges of the panel.
In one embodiment, the separation distance between each two adjacent brush rods is 0.5 cm.
In one embodiment, the separation distance between each two adjacent brush rods is 1 cm; the spheroid has a diameter of 0.5 cm.
In one embodiment, the brush rod has a length of 1 cm.
In one embodiment, at least one brush rod has a water passage; the water inlet of the water passage is in communication with the chamber formed in the spray head body and the water outlet of the water passage is located on the surface of the spheroid. In one embodiment, the water outlet of the water passage is located on the surface of the spheroid in an extension line of the water passage.
In one embodiment, the brush rod and the spheroid formed at the end thereof are made of the same material.
In one embodiment, the spheroid is made of a silicone material.
In one embodiment, the silicone material is a phenylene silicone rubber; alternatively, the silicone material is a phenylene ether silicone rubber.
The embodiments of the present invention also provide a body cleaning device, comprising a spray head of any of the above technical solutions.
In order to illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention more clearly, the figures of the embodiments are simply described below. Apparently, the figures described below merely relate to some embodiments of the present invention rather than are limitative of the present invention.
To make the object, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be described below in a clearer and more complete way with reference to the figures of the embodiments of the present invention. Apparently, the embodiments described are only part, rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention described, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skills in the art without paying inventive work fall into the scope of protection of the present invention.
As illustrated in
During use of the above spray head, the brush rods 2 provided on the spray head body 1 can penetrate through a user's hair and the spheroid 3 formed at the end portion of each brush rod 2 can contact the user's scalp, and clean and massage the user's scalp. In addition, the brush rod 2 can serve as a comb such that the water sprayed from the spray holes 5 easily enters the hair to fully contact the hair and the scalp, thereby thoroughly cleaning the hair, scalp, and the bottom portion of the hair near the scalp.
Therefore, the above spray head, in the course of its use, can penetrate through hair to thoroughly clean the hair, the scalp, and the bottom portion of the hair near the scalp.
In addition, as the brush rod 2 passes through the hair, the spheroid 3 formed at the end of each brush rod 2 can contact a user's scalp and the spheroid 3 made of the elastic material can be deformed to ease the interaction between the scalp and the spray head. Meanwhile, the spheroid 3 can increase the force bearing surface of the scalp so as to alleviate the pressure generated on the scalp and result in a massaging effect on the scalp.
As illustrated in
As illustrated in
The brush rods 2 with a length of 1 cm can prevent the spray head body 1 from directly contacting the scalp to pressurize the user's scalp as the brush rods 2 penetrate through the hair.
As illustrated in
On the basis of the above embodiments, in one particular embodiment, the brush rods 2 and the spheroids 3 formed at their end portions are made of the same material, i.e. an elastic material; more preferably, the brush rods 2 and the spheroids formed at their end portions are prepared by a one-piece fabrication process. As illustrated in
On the basis of each of the above-described embodiments, in one particular embodiment, the elastic material may be a silicone material.
In a preferred embodiment, the silicone material is a phenylene silicone rubber.
Phenylene silicone rubber is a class of silicone rubber formed by introduction of phenylene groups to the polysiloxane backbone. Phenylene silicone rubber exhibits excellent resistance to high temperature and resistance to radiation, capable of resisting a high temperature of up to 250 to 300° C., and has good characteristics such as dielectric properties, moisture resistance, mildew resistance and steam resistance. In the raw rubber composition of the phenylene silicone rubber, it is appropriate when the phenylene content is 60%, the phenyl content is 30%, and the methyl content is 10% (the vinyl content is 0.6%). In this case, the vulcanized rubber exhibits excellent overall performance.
In another preferred embodiment, the silicone material is a phenylene ether silicone rubber.
Phenylene ether silicone rubber is a polysiloxane to whose molecular main chain phenyl ether groups and phenylene groups are introduced. Phenyl ether silicone rubber has good mechanical properties, with its tensile strength generally up to 150 to 180 kg/cm2, i.e. 14.7 to 17.7 Mpa, which is far greater than the strength of vinyl silicone rubber, and an excellent resistance to radiation which is better than that of phenylene silicone rubber. Phenyl ether silicone rubber can be resistant to hot air aging at 250° C. over a long period of time and has high strength even after ageing. Phenylene ether silicone rubber has low temperature performance far superior to phenylene silicone rubber, and has good processing performance useful for manufacturing model articles and extruded products under specific requirements.
As illustrated in
