Abstract

A showerhead is provided. The showerhead includes a body and a plurality of first dispersion pins. The body has one side having a plurality of injection holes penetrated therethrough and the other side facing the one side. The plurality of first dispersion pins protruding from the plurality of spray holes of the one side to the other side such that end portions thereof support the other side. The first dispersion holes have first gas inlet holes on one side and first passages connected to the first gas inlet holes therein. Gas introduced between the one side and the other side is immediately discharged to the outside of the body through the plurality of spray holes by passing the first gas inlet holes and the first passages.

Claims

1. A showerhead comprising:

a body having a bottom of an interior space of the body in which a plurality of injection holes are formed and a ceiling facing the bottom;

a third intermediate plate disposed between the bottom and the ceiling, the third intermediate plate having third connection holes;

a third dispersion pins protruding from the third connecting holes of the third intermediate plate toward the bottom, one end portion of each of the third dispersion pins supporting and contacting with the bottom of the body, each of the third dispersion pins having a third passage formed therein, communicating with a corresponding third connecting hole among the third connecting holes,

wherein each of the third dispersion pins has a first gas outlet hole that is formed on its outer surface, such that gas introduced between the ceiling and the third intermediate plate flows through the third passages and the first gas outlet holes and is subsequently discharged outwardly from the body through the injection holes; and

a fourth intermediate plate disposed between the third intermediate plate and the bottom, wherein the third dispersion pins extend through the fourth intermediate plate.

2. The showerhead according to claim 1, wherein the fourth intermediate plate has fourth connecting holes,

the showerhead further comprising fourth dispersion pins protruding from the fourth connecting holes toward the one side, one end portion of each of the fourth dispersion pins supports the one side, each of the fourth dispersion pins having a fourth passage formed therein, communicating with a corresponding fourth connecting hole among the fourth connecting holes,

wherein each of the fourth dispersion pins has a second gas outlet hole, wherein gas introduced between the third intermediate plate and the fourth intermediate plate flows through the fourth passages and the fourth gas outlet holes, is dispersed between the fourth intermediate plate and the one side, and is subsequently discharged outwardly from the body through the injection holes, and the gas expelled from the first gas outlet holes is dispersed between the fourth intermediate plate and the one side and is subsequently discharged outwardly from the body through the injection holes.

3. The showerhead according to claim 2, wherein the first gas outlet holes are formed in end portions of the third dispersion pins, and the second gas outlet holes are formed in end portions of the fourth dispersion pins.

4. The showerhead according to claim 1, further comprising filler sheets to be brazed on the ceiling, predetermined surfaces of the third and fourth intermediate plates facing the bottom, and lower surface of the bottom.

5. A showerheard comprising:

a body having a bottom of an interior space of the body in which a plurality of injection holes are formed and a ceiling facing the bottom,

a third intermediate plate disposed between the bottom and the ceiling, the third intermediate plate having third connection holes;

a third dispersion pins protruding from the third connecting holes of the third intermediate plate toward the bottom, one end portion of each of the third dispersion pins supporting and contacting with the bottom of the body, each of the third dispersion pins having a third passage formed therein, communicating with a corresponding third connecting hole among the third connecting holes;

wherein each of the third dispersion pins has a first gas outlet hole that is formed on its outer surface, such that gas introduced between the ceiling and the third intermediate plate flows through the third passages and the first gas outlet holes and is subsequently discharged outwardly from the body through the injection holes; and

wherein;

the third passage of each of the third dispersion pins is formed by a sidewall of the third dispersion pin;

the sidewall defines the outer surface of the third dispersion pin;

the third passage extends longitudinally; and

the first gas outlet hole extends through the sidewall of the third dispersion pin.

6. The shower head according to claim 5, wherein the third passage extends along an axis within the sidewall and the first gas outlet hole extends through the sidewall transverse to the axis.

7. The shower head according to claim 5, wherein the sidewall of each of the third dispersion pins extends between a first end proximate the third intermediate plate and a second end, the one end portion supporting and contacting with the bottom of the body being proximate the second end, the second end being closed preventing gas from discharging from the third passage axially through the second end.

8. The shower head according to claim 7, wherein the second end is closed by the bottom of the body.

9. The shower head according to claim 7, where the first end is open permitting gas to enter the third passage axially through the first end.
