The first contact portion 411 is made of an elastic material and may be formed on the upper surface of the first stepped portion 250 .

The first stepped portion 250 and the second stepped portion 350 may be stepped in a structure that can be engaged. It may include a first inner stepped portion 251 formed inside the stepped surface of the first stepped portion 250 and a first outer stepped portion 253 formed outside the stepped surface, and similarly, the second stepped portion 350 ) may include a second inner stepped portion 351 and a second outer stepped portion 353 .

Accordingly, the first inner stepped portion 251 and the second inner stepped portion 351 and the first outer stepped portion 253 and the second outer stepped portion 353 are the lower portion of the handle 200 by the coupling portion 450 . When the upper part of the handle and the handle 300 are combined, they are engaged in a form facing each other, thereby preventing water leakage.

At this time, the first inner stepped portion 251, the second inner stepped portion 351, and the first outer stepped portion 253 and the second outer stepped portion 353 have a horizontal surface, an inclined surface, or a mixed form, respectively. can be formed.

In the case of FIG. 8 , a strong pressure can be applied because the stepped surfaces of the first inner stepped portion 251 and the second inner stepped portion 351 are horizontal, and the first outer stepped portion 253 and the second outer stepped portion are horizontal. Since the step surface of 353 is an inclined surface, water leaking from the first inner step 251 and the second inner step 351 can be effectively blocked by using a wide step surface.

The first contact portion 411 is made of an elastic material and may be formed on the upper surface of the first stepped portion 250 .

Since the shower head is generally used by hanging it on a dedicated hanger, there should be few protruding parts to be inserted into the dedicated hanger. In particular, it is assumed that there should be less protruding portions at the rear than the front where the discharge portion 510 of the shower head is located, and the hinge portion 430 is disposed at the rear. However, the present invention is not particularly limited with respect to the position of the hinge portion 430 .

The recessed part of the first fastening part 230 and the protruding part of the second fastening part 330 are engaged with each other, and a hole passing through the protruding part of the second fastening part 330 left and right. is formed, and a groove may be formed in the first fastening part 230 at a position facing a hole penetrating the protruding portion of the second fastening part 330 to the left and right.

Here, the surface of the lower portion of the handle 200 and the surface of the upper portion of the handle 300 are the upper surface or the lower surface facing each other when the lower portion of the handle 200 and the upper portion of the handle 300 are combined. it means.

When the lower handle 200 and the upper handle 300 are fixed and coupled by the fixing part 453 , the first flow path 210 and the second flow path are connected, and the inside and the outside are blocked by the blocking part 410 . This will allow water to flow inside.

The fixing part 453 is located on the opposite side to which it is coupled by the hinge part 430, and when it is fixed by the fixing part 453, a coupling force is generated by the hinge part 430 on one side, and the fixing part on the other side ( 453), the coupling force is generated so that the upper part of the handle 300 and the lower part of the handle 200 can be fixed.

The fixing part 453 may be spaced apart from the locking part 451 for separation, and the coupling hinge part 455 becomes an axis for rotating the fixing part 453 to the extent that it can be spaced apart from the locking part 451 .

It may include a cover portion 630 that seals so as not to, and may further include a filtering portion (650).

Referring to FIG. 10 , the body 610 may be formed in a cylindrical shape.

The body portion 610 may be discharged through at least one or more holes formed along the outer surface of the body portion 610 by the flow rate of water flowing along the first flow path (210).

This is due to the Bernoulli effect, and since the water flowing along the first flow path 210 forms a high flow velocity by water pressure, the hydraulic pressure is lowered, so the liquid material existing in a positive pressure state inside the body part 610 is the first flow path 210 . ) flows out with flowing water.

Referring to FIG. 11 , the body 610 may be formed in the form of a truncated cone with a narrow lower end. When the shape of the body portion 610 is formed in the form of a narrow truncated cone at the bottom, a narrow gap has to pass from the first flow path 210 to the second flow path 310, so the flow rate becomes faster, so that the liquid preparation is a little faster can be emitted.

In the cover part 630 , the liquid material may be discharged through at least one hole formed along the upper side of the cover part 630 by the flow rate of water flowing along the first flow path 210 .

This is according to the above-mentioned Bernoulli effect. When entering the wide second flow path 310 after passing through the first flow path 210 narrowed by the capsule filter unit 600 , water flows upward in the direction where the second flow path 310 is located. Although it can move, as a vortex is formed, a high flow rate is formed to the upper surface, so that the hydraulic pressure on the upper surface of the cover part 630 is lowered. It flows out along the water entering the second flow path 310 in the .

Referring to FIG. 13 , the cover part 630 has a dome shape with a bulge in the middle rather than a flat shape, so that the liquid material can be discharged a little faster by riding the flow of water flowing to the upper side.

The filtering unit 650 may remove foreign substances included in the raw water introduced through the inlet hose 100 .

Raw water may be introduced into the interior of the body 610 through at least one hole punched in the above-described body 610, and the introduced raw water passes through the filtering unit 650 to remove foreign substances, and the body It may be discharged to the outside of 610 . In this process, it may be discharged to the outside of the body portion 610 after mixing with the liquid material in the interior of the body portion (610).

Accordingly, the user can select and use the capsule shape according to the flow rate of the shower used by the user or the user's hydraulic preference for the amount of the liquid material flowing out of the water.

In addition, the body portion 610 described above in FIGS. 10 and 11 and the cover portion 630 described above in FIGS. 12 and 13 can be used, respectively, and can be used together to enjoy the aforementioned effects.

Accordingly, an effective effect of removing foreign substances can be expected even after consuming the liquid material inside the body 610 due to the filtering unit 650 .

The body portion 610 is a sheet-shaped member including a first cross-linking layer 611 containing a liquid material and a hydrophobic porous first fibrous web layer 613 disposed on the outer surface of the first cross-linking layer 611. , water introduced through the first flow path 210 may flow along the hydrophobic porous first fibrous web layer 613 .

The cover part 630 is a sheet-shaped member including a second cross-linking layer 631 containing a liquid material and a hydrophobic porous second fibrous web layer 633 disposed on the upper side of the second cross-linking layer 631. , the water introduced through the first flow path 210 may flow along the hydrophobic porous second fibrous web layer 633 .

When the functional material is designed to be released to the outside by including the functional material inside the shower head, when it is manufactured by filling the inside of the water flow path with the material containing the functional material, it prevents the flow of water through the head part 500 There is a very inconvenient problem in use, such as a small amount of discharged water or a long shower time because water is discharged at low water pressure, and the cleaning agent is not easy to clean.

In particular, the water pressure of the water discharged from the shower in the shower creates a massage or acupressure effect by applying friction or pressure to the skin, and is very undesirable considering that there are many people who want to feel this way when taking a shower.

In addition, as the flow of water inside the shower is disturbed, the internal pressure increases, which is more undesirable because it may cause damage to the shower and the like. In addition, when the functional material is disposed to be directly bonded to water on the flow path, it is difficult to expect the release of the functional material for a long period of time as the functional material is quickly eluted in a large amount.

Accordingly, in the present invention, the capsule filter unit 600 is disposed along the inner wall of the flow path so as not to obstruct the flow of water inside the shower. In addition, a porous first fibrous web layer 613 or a porous second fibrous web layer 633 is further provided on the layer containing the liquid material to solve the problem of excessive dissolution of the liquid material in direct contact with water.

Through this, the water passing through the flow passage does not directly contact the layer containing the liquid material, but passes through the first fibrous web layer 613 or the porous second fibrous web layer 633 and then comes into contact with the layer containing the liquid material. , as the liquid material eluted after contact with water passes through the porous first fibrous web layer 613 or the porous second fibrous web layer 633 again and mixes with the water flowing through the flow path, excessive elution of the liquid material is prevented and By appropriately controlling the dissolution amount of the formulation, it may be more advantageous to allow the liquid formulation to dissolve for a long time.

The liquid preparation contained in the body portion 610 may be a cosmetic component such as a moisturizing component, an aromatic oil component, and a vitamin component.

In summary, according to some embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to provide a shower head that emits ingredients that can be supplied in the shower, including liquid preparations such as moisturizing ingredients, aroma oil ingredients, or vitamin ingredients.

In addition, the shower head capable of replacing the capsule filter according to the present invention prevents a decrease in the flow rate or flow rate of discharged water by minimizing the obstruction of the flow of water flowing into the shower head, even when using cold water or hot water at a level of 40 ° C. It is possible to maintain the performance for a long time by extending the discharge period of the bath material as much as possible.

It is to be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all respects and not restrictive, and the scope of the present invention will be indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing detailed description. And it should be construed to be included in the scope of the present invention, as well as the meaning and scope of the claims to be described later, as well as all changes and modifications derived from the equivalent concept.
