Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water circulation, in particular to a medicinal bath water circulation device. Background Art
[0002] Medicinal baths are an ancient and effective treatment method widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). By dissolving medication in hot water, these baths leverage the medicinal properties of the medication and the warmth of the water to achieve therapeutic and health benefits. Through skin absorption and the application of heat, these baths can promote blood circulation, enhance metabolism, relieve muscle tension, and alleviate pain. Furthermore, the medicinal ingredients can enter the body through the skin to exert their therapeutic effects.
[0003] However, there are many shortcomings in the traditional medicinal bath method, such as uneven drug efficacy caused by poor water circulation. These problems not only affect the efficacy of the medicinal bath, but also reduce the user experience and may even cause safety hazards. Specifically, most medicinal baths adopt immersion and spray types. For the spray type medicinal bath, it is mainly composed of a container for carrying the patient's body, a medicinal liquid, and a device for circulating the medicinal liquid. The power source for providing the flow of the medicinal bath is mainly a water pump, which can be specifically divided into a diaphragm pump and a centrifugal pump. The diaphragm pump has a self-priming function, but its service life is short, while the centrifugal pump has stronger performance and life, but it does not have a self-priming function (that is, there must be water in the pump body to operate). The above problems have affected the ease of use of the medicinal bath equipment to a certain extent. Utility Model Content

[0027] Embodiment
[0028] The following further illustrates in conjunction with specific embodiments, such as the accompanying Figure 1 - the Figure 5 As shown in the bath water circulating equipment of the embodiment, including medicinal bath pool 21, the drainage device arranged at the lower end of medicinal bath pool 21, the sprinkler device arranged above medicinal bath pool 21 and the circulating device connected with the drainage device and the sprinkler device simultaneously;The circulating device includes shell 11, first conduit 12 connected with the drainage device, centrifugal pump 13 connected with first conduit 12, second conduit 14 connected with the water outlet of centrifugal pump 13, diaphragm pump 16, one-way valve 111 arranged on second conduit 14 and flowmeter 112 arranged on second conduit 14;Centrifugal pump 13 and diaphragm pump 16 are arranged inside shell 11;The water inlet and water outlet of diaphragm pump 16 are communicated with the side wall of second conduit 14, and one-way valve 111 is arranged between the water inlet and water outlet of diaphragm pump 16. Specifically, in use, the prepared medicinal liquid is poured into medicinal bath pool 21, then diaphragm pump 16 sucks the water in the drainage device of medicinal bath pool 21 into centrifugal pump 13 through second conduit 14 and first conduit 12, centrifugal pump 13 works formally and sucks the water in medicinal bath pool 21 through first conduit 12 and drainage device, then sends the water back to medicinal bath pool 21 through second conduit 14 and sprinkler device, forming circulation. After the circulation is stable, diaphragm pump 16 is closed. In the running process, the flow of liquid in second conduit 14 can be detected through flowmeter 112, when it is detected that it is lower than the conventional level, diaphragm pump 16 can be started again to actively suck water, and when the flow is stable, diaphragm pump 16 can be closed, which can form more stable water circulation, and the operation of centrifugal pump 13 is more stable, and there is no idling condition, and diaphragm pump 16 will only start when needed, so its service life is longer.
[0029] In this embodiment, a first branch pipe 17 is provided at the water inlet of the diaphragm pump 16, and a second branch pipe 18 is provided at the water outlet of the diaphragm pump 16. A first valve 19 is provided on the first branch pipe 17, and a second valve 110 is provided on the second branch pipe 18. Both the first branch pipe 17 and the second branch pipe 18 are connected to the sidewall of the second conduit 14. A one-way valve 111 is provided between the first branch pipe 17 and the second branch pipe 18. Specifically, although the one-way valve 111 can control the flow direction of the liquid in the second conduit 14, the first valve 19 and the second valve 110 are provided on the first branch pipe 17 and the second branch pipe 18, respectively. When the diaphragm pump 16 is not in use, the first valve 19 and the second valve 110 are both closed, thereby better protecting the diaphragm pump 16. The first valve 19 and the second valve 110 are both solenoid valves, which enable more automated control (this control process is primarily regulated by a flowmeter 112).
[0030] In this embodiment, a heating device 15 is provided on the second conduit 14, and the heating device 15 is located between the centrifugal pump 13 and the diaphragm pump 16. A temperature measuring device 113 is also provided on the second conduit 14, and the temperature measuring device 113 is located between the heating device 15 and the diaphragm pump 16. Specifically, the heating device 15 and the temperature measuring device 113 are primarily used to maintain a constant temperature of the liquid medicine. Furthermore, the provision of the heating device 15 and the temperature measuring device 113 necessitates the provision of a corresponding automatic constant temperature system to automatically adjust and maintain the temperature. Furthermore, a corresponding operating panel may be provided on the housing 11 to adjust the temperature, and a heat sink may be designed to dissipate heat from related circuit components to prevent them from overheating.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first conduit 12 is provided with a filter device 31. Specifically, the filter device 31 is mainly used to filter out impurities (mainly small particles) in the liquid medicine. The filter device 31 can adopt a traditional one-way tubular filter.
[0032] In this embodiment, the sidewall of the first conduit 12 is provided with an inlet pipe 33 and a drain pipe 34. The first conduit 12 is equipped with a third valve 35, a fourth valve 36 on the inlet pipe 33, and a fifth valve 37 on the drain pipe 34. The inlet pipe 33 is located between the filter device 31 and the drain device, while the drain pipe 34 is located between the inlet pipe 33 and the drain device. The third valve 35 is located between the inlet pipe 33 and the drain pipe 34. The filter device 31 is detachably connected to the first conduit 12 at both ends via a first joint 32. The drain pipe 34 is provided with a second joint 38 at its end, and the first joint 32 and the second joint 38 are detachably connected. Specifically, the filter device 31 is connected in series in the first conduit 12 through the first joint 32, and the medicinal liquid flowing through the first conduit 12 can be filtered. After the medicinal bath is completed, the entire system needs to be cleaned. The cleaning process is to close the third valve 35, open the fourth valve 36 and the fifth valve 37, connect the water inlet pipe 33 to the external tap water pipe (or special cleaning liquid) and supply water, and then start the centrifugal pump 13 and the diaphragm pump 16 (the diaphragm pump 16 can be started intermittently). At this time, the tap water passes through the first conduit 12, the centrifugal pump 13, the diaphragm pump 16, the second conduit 14, and the sprinkler in sequence, and is sprinkled into the medicinal bath pool 21. After flushing the medicinal bath pool 21, it is discharged from the drainage device and finally discharged through the drain pipe 34. In this way, the entire system can be cleaned at one time. Since the filter device 31 is connected to the first conduit 12 via the first connector 32, the filter device 31 can be removed, then the first conduit 12 can be connected, and finally the filter device 31 can be reversed and installed on the second connector 38 on the drain pipe 34 to backwash the filter device 31. The filter device 31 can be backwashed not only on the drain pipe 34 but also directly on the first conduit 12 (the filter device 31 has first connectors 32 at both ends, so it can be installed forwards or backwards. Since it uses filter cotton or filter mesh, it has a filtering effect in both directions).
[0033] The sprinkler system in this embodiment includes multiple clamps 22 mounted on the upper sidewall of the medicinal bath 21, a pipe clamp 23 connected to the clamp 22, a sprinkler pipe 24 mounted in the pipe clamp 23, a nozzle 25 mounted at one end of the sprinkler pipe 24, and a quick connector 26 mounted at the end of the sprinkler pipe 24 away from the nozzle 25. The nozzle 25 is provided with a water valve. The second conduit 14 is connected to the quick connector 26, and adjacent quick connectors 26 are connected by a connecting pipe 27. The drainage system includes a filter pipe 28 detachably connected to the bottom sidewall of the medicinal bath 21, and multiple filter holes provided in the sidewall of the filter pipe 28. One end of the filter pipe 28, located outside the medicinal bath 21, is detachably connected to the first conduit 12. Specifically, multiple sprinkler pipes 24 can be fixed to the medicinal bath 21 as needed, and adjacent sprinkler pipes 24 can be connected using the connecting pipe 27. This allows for medicinal bathing not only for specific areas but also for the entire body. And the sprinkler pipe 24 and the filter pipe 28 are both detachable structures, so they can also be installed in other containers (such as a medicinal bath barrel) to better achieve the medicinal bath effect of different parts. The filter pipe 28 is mainly used to filter large particles of impurities. And the block 22 can slide on the medicinal bath 21, so that it can move the position of the block 22 according to the needs of the shower, and then selectively shower different parts. And the block 22 and other structures can also be replaced with a slider structure with the same function that can slide on the medicinal bath. In addition, the bottom of the medicinal bath 21 can be designed as a conical structure with a large top and a small bottom, and then the filter pipe 28 is placed at the bottom of the medicinal bath 21, so that the liquid medicine can be gathered at the filter pipe 28, and the normal liquid medicine circulation process can be ensured as much as possible. And a universal wheel with a lock can be set at the bottom of the housing 11 to facilitate its transfer. Regarding the sprinkler pipe 24, a hose structure can be used so that the position of the sprinkler pipe 24 can be adjusted as needed. For example, the sprinkler pipe can be placed at the bottom of the medicinal bath 21 and the nozzle 25 can be set upward. In this way, the patient's waist and abdomen can be bathed with medicine while the patient lies flat. Alternatively, a special sprinkler pipe 21 can be directly set at the bottom of the medicinal bath 21 for bathing the patient's waist and abdomen. The sprinkler pipe 21 at the bottom of the medicinal bath 21 can also be moved along the medicinal bath 21 so that it can bathe various parts of the patient's body surface.
[0034] In summary, the medicinal bath water circulation equipment of this embodiment, when in use, puts the pre-prepared medicinal liquid into the medicinal bath pool 21, and then the diaphragm pump 16 sucks the water in the drainage device of the medicinal bath pool 21 into the centrifugal pump 13 through the second conduit 14 and the first conduit 12. The centrifugal pump 13 then works to formally suck the water in the medicinal bath pool 21 through the first conduit 12 and the drainage device, and then returns the water to the medicinal bath pool 21 through the second conduit 14 and the sprinkler device to form a cycle. After the cycle is stable, turn off the diaphragm pump 16. During operation, the flow rate of the liquid in the second conduit 14 can be detected by the flow meter 112. When it is detected that it is lower than the normal level, the diaphragm pump 16 can be started again to actively absorb water. When the flow rate is stable, the diaphragm pump 16 can be turned off. In this way, a more stable water cycle can be formed, and the operation of the centrifugal pump 13 is more stable, and there will be no idling. The diaphragm pump 16 will only be started when needed, so its life is longer.
[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
