When the side pressure-cover is fixed on the valve body 11, the first sealing member 13 can seal the gap between the side pressure-cover 12 and the valve body 11.

In some embodiments, the first sealing member 13 and the sealing groove 112 can be omitted.

In some embodiments, the side pressure-cover 12 and the valve body 11 can be one-piece molded. In this situation, the first sealing member 13, the sealing groove 112, the plurality of first fixing holes 113, and the fixing member 19 can be omitted.

In some embodiments, the side pressure-cover 12 can be fixedly adhered to the valve body 11 by an adhesive. In this situation, the plurality of first fixing holes 113, and the fixing member 19 can be omitted.

In some embodiments, other sealing groove structures can be arranged around the sealing groove 12 to further improve the sealing effect. The spray-head assembly 10 can further include other sealing members to cooperate with the other sealing groove structures.

The filter 14, the pressure ring 16, the valve-spool 17, and the top pressure-cover 18 are arranged at the top end of the branch 116. In some embodiments, the filter 14, the pressure ring 16, and the valve-spool 17 are arranged in the receiving groove 117. The top pressure-cover 18 is arranged at the top end of the branch 116 and closes the receiving groove 117. The pressure ring 16 prestresses an end of the valve-spool 17 against the top pressure-cover 18. Another end of the valve-spool 17 elastically abuts against the valve-port 104 to control opening and closing of the valve-port 104.

An end of the filter 14 is fixed on the valve-port 104, and another end of the filter 14 extends into the air-flow pathway 1033. The filter 14 has a cap-shape-like structure and includes an edge portion 141 and an extending portion 143. The edge portion 141 is coaxial with the extending portion 143. The edge portion 141 is arranged at an end of the extending portion 143 and extends outwardly along with a direction that is perpendicular to an axial direction of the filter 14. In some embodiments, the extending portion 143 can extend into the air-flow pathway 1033. The edge portion 141 is arranged at the step portion 118.

The pressure ring 16 is arranged in the receiving groove 117. A first through hole 161 is provided at the pressure ring 16. The first through hole 161 is arranged along an axis of the pressing ring 16 and is aligned with the air-flow pathway 1033. A notch 163 communicating with the first through hole 161 is provided by the pressing ring 16 along an edge of the first through hole 161. The notch 163 is aligned with the backflow pathway 1034. When the valve-port is opened, the first through hole 161 can communicate with the air-flow pathway 1033 and the notch 163 can communicate with the backflow pathway 1034, such that the air-flow pathway 1033 can communicate with the backflow pathway 1034. A second alignment structure 165 is provided at an outer edge of the pressure ring 16. In some embodiments, the second alignment structure 165 and the notch 163 are arranged at two opposite sides of the first through hole 161. The second alignment structure 165 is aligned with the first alignment structure 1171, such that the first through hole 161 can be aligned with the air-flow pathway 1033 and the notch 163 can be aligned with the backflow pathway 1034, after the pressure ring 16 is assembled into the receiving groove 117.

The valve-spool 17 is arranged in the pipe structure 101. In some embodiments, the valve-spool 17 can be arranged in the flow pathway 103 to control the opening and closing of the valve-port 104.

In some embodiments, the valve-spool 17 can be one-piece molded and can be elastically deformed. As shown in FIG. 4, an end of the valve-spool 17 is elastically abuts against the valve-port 104. The valve-spool 17 can seal the valve-port 104 and can be elastically deformed to release the sealing of the valve-port 104, when a hydraulic pressure in the air-flow pathway 1033 has reached a preset value. In some embodiments, the valve-spool 17 is made of an elastic resin material, such as rubber or silicone.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 4, the valve-spool 17 includes a sealing portion 171, an elastic portion 173, a connecting portion 175, and a flow-guiding portion 177. The sealing portion 171 and the connecting portion 175 are arranged opposite to each other. The sealing portion 171 and the connecting portion 175 are connected at two opposite ends of the elastic portion 173. The pressure ring 16 can prestress the connecting portion 175 against the top pressure-cover 18. The sealing portion 171 can pass through the first through hole 161 and elastically abut the valve-port 104.

The sealing portion 171 can elastically abut the valve-port 104 to achieve the sealing and opening of the valve-port 104, and further realize the blocking and communication between the backflow pathway 1034 and the air-flow pathway 1033.

The elastic portion 173 connects to the sealing portion 171. The elastic portion 173 can prestress the sealing portion 171 against the valve-port 104, such that the sealing portion 171 can seal the valve-port 104 to block the backflow pathway 1034 from the air-flow pathway 1033. When the hydraulic pressure in the air-flow pathway 1033 has reached a preset value, the sealing portion 171 can abut against the elastic portion 173 to elastically deform the elastic portion 173 to release the sealing of the valve-port 104, such that the backflow pathway 1034 can communicate with the air-flow pathway 1033.

The elastic portion 173 can be inwardly recessed, outwardly protruded, or arranged in a multi-stage bending manner along a direction that is perpendicular to an axial direction of the valve-spool 17. In some embodiments, the elastic portion 173 can be recessed toward the inside of the valve-spool 17 along the direction that is perpendicular to the axial direction of the valve-spool 17. The elastic portion 173 and the sealing portion 171 together can form a hollow cavity to facilitate the elastic deformation of the elastic portion 173.

The connecting portion 175 is connected to an end of the elastic portion 173 distal from the sealing portion 171. In some embodiments, the connecting portion 175 can have a disk-shaped structure extending outwardly in the direction that is perpendicular to the axial direction of the valve-spool 17. An outer edge of the connecting portion 175 can be arranged between the top pressure-cover 18 and the top end of the branch 116.

The flow-guiding portion 177 protrudes from the sealing portion 171 in a direction away from the elastic portion 173. The flow-guiding portion 177 protrudes into the air-flow pathway 1033. In some embodiments, the flow-guiding portion 177 protrudes from a middle of the sealing portion 171. The flow-guiding portion 177 can have a cone-shaped or tapered-shape-like structure. A diameter of the flow-guiding portion 177 gradually decreases as a distance to the sealing portion 171 increases.

When a water pump (not shown in FIG. 4) communicating with the flow pathway 103 stops working, the hydraulic pressure in the air-flow pathway 1033 gradually decreases and an elastic of the elastic portion 173 gradually recovers, such that the sealing portion 171 can seal the valve-port 104 and the pray-head apparatus 100 will not leak after the water pump is stopped.

The top pressure-cover 18 can be fixed to the top end of the branch 116 and closes the receiving groove 117. The internal thread 181 formed inside the top pressure-cover 18 can engage with the external thread 119. The top pressure-cover 18 can fixed on the top of the branch 116 through a cooperation of the external thread 119 and the internal thread 181.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the spray-head assembly 10 further includes a second sealing member 15. The second sealing member 15 is arranged between the pressure ring 16 and the bottom of the receiving groove 117. The second sealing member 15 is provided with a second through hole 151 aligned with the air-flow pathway 1033 and a third through hole 153 aligned with the backflow pathway 1034. The second through hole 151 is aligned with and communicates with the first through hole 161. The third through hole 153 is aligned with and communicates with the notch 163. In some embodiments, the second through hole 151 and the third through hole 153 are spaced apart from each other. A third alignment structure 155 is arranged at an outer edge of the second seal member 15. The third alignment structure 155 and the third through hole 153 are arranged at two opposite sides of the second through hole 151. The third alignment structure 155 corresponds to the second alignment structure 165 and is configured to cooperate with the first alignment structure 1171 for alignment, such that the second through hole 151 can be aligned with the air-flow pathway 1033, and the third through hole 153 can be aligned with the backflow pathway 1034, after the second sealing member 15 is assembled into the receiving groove 117. In some embodiments, the second sealing member 15 can include a sealing ring.

In some embodiments, the second sealing member 15 can be omitted.

In some embodiments, the first alignment structure 1171, the second alignment structure 165, and the third alignment structure 155 can be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 2, the nozzle assembly 20 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the trunk 111. The nozzle assembly 20 can be fastened to the bottom end of the trunk 111 by screwing. The nozzle assembly 20 includes a locking structure 21 that cooperates with the quick connect fitting 115. The nozzle assembly 20 can be fixed to the bottom end of the trunk 111 of the valve body 11 through the cooperation of the quick connect fitting 115 and the locking structure 21. The inside of the nozzle assembly 20 and the liquid outlet 105 communicate with each other.

FIG. 5 schematically shows the spray-head apparatus in FIG. 4 in an opening state. During operation, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, liquid enters the first main flow pathway 1031 from the liquid inlet 102, flows through the connecting flow pathway 1032, and flows into the air-flow pathway 1033. The gas retained in the air-flow pathway 103 will be gradually gathered at the top end of the air-flow pathway 1033 as the liquid in the air-flow pathway 1033 increases and in the meanwhile, the hydraulic pressure in the air-flow pathway 1033 will gradually increases. When the hydraulic pressure in the air-flow pathway 1033 is less than the preset value, the elastic portion 173 of the valve-spool 17 can prestress the sealing portion 171 against the valve-port 104 to seal the valve-port 104. When the hydraulic pressure in the air-flow pathway 1033 reaches the preset value, the elastic portion 173 of the valve-spool 17 can be elastically deformed and the sealing portion 171 of the valve-spool 17 can be separated from the valve-port 104 to release the sealing portion 171 from sealing the valve-port 104, such that the air-flow pathway 1033 can communicate with the backflow pathway 1034 through the second through hole 151, the first through hole 161, the notch 163, and the third through hole 153. When the valve-port 104 is opened, the gas retained in the flow pathway 103 can enter the backflow pathway 1034 with the liquid and can be discharged through the second main flow pathway 1035. In some embodiments, the preset value can be a minimum hydraulic pressure for separating the sealing portion 171 from the valve-port 104.

In some embodiments, the valve-spool 17 can include a combination of a valve stem, a spring, and a sealing ring. The sealing ring can be fixed to an end of the valve steam for sealing the valve-port 104. The spring can be connected to another end of the valve stem or sleeved on the valve stem. The spring can be configured to prestress the valve stem, such that the sealing ring can seal the valve-port 104, when the spray stops.

According to the disclosed spray-head assembly and the disclosed spray-head apparatus, the flow pathway of the pipe structure can include the first main flow pathway and the air-flow pathway communicating with the first main flow pathway, the air-flow pathway can be obliquely arranged relative to the first main flow pathway, the valve-port can be arranged at the top end of the air-flow pathway, and the bottom end of the air-flow pathway can communicate with the liquid inlet. As such, the gas retained in the flow pathway can be collected at the top end of the air-flow pathway, and when the valve-port is opened, the retained gas can overflow from the valve-port. Therefore, the problem that the retained gas causes the starting and stopping speeds of the spray-head to be slow can be avoided, thereby reducing the difficulty of controlling the spray range.

Those skilled in the art can conceive any modification or equivalents of the disclosed embodiments, which are intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure.
