Abstract

A shower head structure includes a main body, a face plate, and a switching device installed inside the main body for controlling an outflow of water from the face plate. The circumferential portion of the face plate is provided with a plurality of water outlet units. Each water outlet unit includes a plurality of jet orifices. The water flowing from the plurality of jet orifices forms a bunched spout. The bunched spout includes a plurality of fine spouts. The water won't spray about. Since the diameter of the jet orifice is small, the force of the fine spouts is stronger. The water-saving effect is good. The shower head can be used for low pressure environment.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A shower head structure, comprising a main body, a face plate, and a switching device installed inside the main body for controlling an outflow of water from the face plate, wherein the face plate is provided with at least one water outlet unit, and the at least one water outlet unit includes at least two jet orifices;
wherein the jet orifices each have a diameter of 0.5 mm-0.7 mm;
wherein the at least one water outlet unit comprises plural water outlet units that are spaced from each other and each of the plural water outlet units comprises a cluster of jet orifices that includes the at least two jet orifices of the at least one water outlet unit, such that the clusters of jet orifices are spaced from each other and the at least two jet orifices of each of the clusters are spaced from each other by a predetermined distance between the jet orifices, the jet orifices of the clusters of each of the plural water outlet units being structured to jet water therefrom at the same time; and
wherein each of the plural water outlet units has a shape formed by the jet orifices of the cluster arranged and distributed in a circular, oval, pentagonal, triangular, or crescent shape on the face plate.

2. The shower head structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predetermined distance between the jet orifices is more than 1 mm.

3. The shower head structure as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a bubbler installed in a middle portion of the face plate, each of the plural water outlet units being disposed on the circumferential portion of the face plate around the bubbler such that the clusters of jet orifices are arranged circumferentially around the bubbler.

4. The shower head structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises a housing and a water diversion body.

5. The shower head structure as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the housing and the water diversion body are separate structures to be assembled together.

6. The shower head structure as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the housing is integrally formed with the water diversion body.
