The present invention relates to a spray head structure capable of preventing backflow of perfume liquid, and more particularly to a spray head structure that can simply prevents backflow of perfume liquid during operation.
The perfume liquid is taken out by dropping or spraying method, or it may be taken out by use of a compressible ball that attaches to a perfume bottle, wherein the perfume liquid is sprayed out by gas that stores in the compressible ball. When the gas is squeezed out of the spray nozzle by compressing the compressible ball, the perfume liquid is also sprayed out from the perfume bottle to form a uniform mist. However, a backward suction force is generated when the compressed compressible ball is released. As a result, some perfume liquid will be sucked into the compressible ball by the backward suction force. Accordingly, the perfume liquid that remains in the compressible ball may be degenerated, and the degenerated perfume liquid will be sprayed out if the compressible ball is compressed again.
In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor mounts a simple control structure on the gas-supplying tube of the compressible ball to overcome the conventional perfume backflow problem of the compression-type spray head structure.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a spray head structure capable of preventing backflow of perfume liquid comprises a spray head, a locking base, a kit, a bottle, and a compressible ball. A rolling ball is held inside a gas-supplying tube of the spray head. A cross-shaped trench is formed on one end of a gas-guiding device, and several liquid-guiding grooves are formed on the other end of the gas-guiding device. The cross-shaped trench supplies the gas with a flow channel, and it also prevents the rolling ball from blocking the channel. If the compressed compressible ball is released, the rolling ball will be attracted backward by suction force such that the rolling ball blocks the flow channel and prevents the perfume liquid from flowing into the inside of the compressible ball.
Other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings in which:
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following description, appended claims, and accompanying drawings, wherein:
Referring to
The above-mentioned gas-supplying tube 13 has a through inside, wherein an expansion hole 131 is formed on one side of the gas-supplying tube 13, and a guide surface 132 is formed on an outer edge of the expansion hole 131. A rolling ball 133 is held in the expansion hole 131, and movably located inside the gas-supplying tube 13. The gas-guiding device 14 is inserted into the expansion hole 131, and coupled with the gas-supplying tube 13. A cross-shaped trench 141 is formed on one end of the gas-guiding device 14, and the above-mentioned liquid-guiding grooves 142 are formed on the other end of the gas-guiding device 14. If the gas-guiding device 14 is coupled to the inside of the gas-supplying tube 13, the cross-shaped trench 141 of the gas-guiding device 14 is coupled with the expansion hole 131 and the liquid-guiding grooves 142 are coupled with the spray nozzle 15. Therefore, the gas-guiding device 14 is located between the gas-supplying tube 13 and the spray nozzle 15, and a gap is formed between the gas-supplying tube 13 and the spray nozzle 15 such that they are not closely coupled with one another. Moreover, a liquid channel 10 is formed between the gas-guiding device 14 and the spray nozzle 15, and the liquid channel 10 is connected to the vertical tunnel 12 of the spray head 1 so as to provide the perfume with a flow channel.

The improved spray head structure can prevent the perfume liquid from backflow during the compression operation of the compressible ball 5. In addition, the stability of the mist can be increased by avoiding the backflow of the perfume liquid.
