Patent ID: 7104335

Claim:
A sprinkler head comprising: a first housing connected to a water supply pipe disposed inside a building ceiling; a second housing coupled to the first housing and fixed to the ceiling surface; a deflector adhered to the first housing in a sealing-available manner for spraying water all around at the time of a fire occurrence by being detached from the first housing; a locking unit locked inside the second housing for maintaining the sealing state between the deflector and the second housing; and a heat responding unit exposed to outside of the ceiling for sensing heat at the time of a fire occurrence and thus releasing a locking of the locking unit; wherein the second housing includes a locking groove formed at an inner side of the second housing in a recess from a lower surface of the second housing, a locking ring located at the locking groove, and first and second loading plates for pressurizing the locking ring to thus be widened, the locking unit being seated at the locking groove in the recess to reduce an exposure distance from the ceiling surface, the second housing extending vertically below a portion of the second loading plate such that the relative position of the locking unit with respect to the second housing forms a space between the second housing and the second loading plate, the formed space serving as an air flow collecting portion for collecting an air flow heated when a fire occurs and for generating a swirl flow in the air flow with the space.
