Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage equipment technology, and in particular to a foot massager. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards and to meet the growing demands of daily life, the variety of home appliances has become increasingly diverse, and foot massagers have entered the daily lives of more and more users. In addition to foot massage functions, some foot massagers also feature a spray function. By circulating water within the massager's internal cavity, a dynamic water flow is created, enhancing the foot bath experience. However, in related technologies, the spray nozzles of foot massagers are located within the massager's internal cavity, resulting in a relatively low spray area, often only reaching below the user's calves, thus requiring improvement in user experience.

[0007] Optionally, the spray assembly further includes an elastic element disposed between the sealing assembly on the side away from the water inlet and the bracket, the elastic element being used to apply a force to the sealing assembly pointing towards the side where the water inlet is located.

[0008] Optionally, the sealing assembly includes: a sealing mounting plate disposed in the inlet hole for sealing purposes; and an elastic seal fixedly mounted on the sealing mounting plate, wherein the elastic seal is disposed in the outlet hole for sealing purposes.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Combination Figures 1 to 21 As shown, this application provides a foot massager, including a body 1, a handle 2, and a water supply component 3.

[0020] The main body 1 has an internal cavity 100, and a first mounting end 11 and a second mounting end 12 are respectively provided on both sides of the main body 1. The handle 2 is rotatably connected to the first mounting end 11 and the second mounting end 12. The handle 2 has a first surface 21 and a second surface 22 provided on the opposite side of the first surface 21, and the first surface 21 is closer to the main body 1 relative to the second surface 22. A first spray nozzle 210 is provided on the first surface 21. A water supply component 3 is partially disposed in the handle 2, and the water supply component 3 communicates with the first spray nozzle 210 and the cavity 100.

[0021] It is understood that the first mounting end 11 and the second mounting end 12 are respectively disposed on both sides of the body 1, and therefore the line connecting the first mounting end 11 and the second mounting end 12 passes through the body 1. That is, the handle 2 is connected to both sides of the body 1 of the foot massager via the first mounting end 11 and the second mounting end 12, forming a rotation axis. During the rotation of the handle 2 around the rotation axis formed by the line connecting the first mounting end 11 and the second mounting end 12, the handle 2 rotates around the body 1. Figure 1 , 2 As shown by the dotted arrow, handle 2 can be rotated upwards to open or downwards to fold in. It should be noted that... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The two handles shown are meant to illustrate different positions of the handles and are not used to limit the number of handles.

[0022] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the main body 1 has an opening at its top, allowing water sprayed from the first spray nozzle 210 to enter the receiving cavity 100 through the opening. Specifically, the main body 1 includes a cover disposed on the top surface of the main body 1. The cover can be opened and closed in a controlled manner. In the open state, water flowing from the first spray nozzle 210 enters the receiving cavity 100.

[0023] The foot massager provided in this embodiment has a handle 2 that pivots relative to the body 1 about the line connecting the first mounting end 11 and the second mounting end 12. A first spray nozzle 210 is located on the first surface 21 of the handle 2 near the body 1, and its elevation angle changes with the rotation of the handle 2. When the handle 2 is lifted upwards, the first spray nozzle 210 sprays water from the upper part of the body 1 into the receiving cavity 100. This allows the water in the receiving cavity 100 to be sprayed to a higher area, such as reaching the user's knee area, thus optimizing the user's spraying experience during use of the foot massager.

[0024] Furthermore, the handle 2 can be moved downwards for storage. When stored, the first spray nozzle 210 is close to the main body 1, which is compact and helps to prevent accidental water spraying. In this way, using the same water supply component 3, without changing the structure of the water supply component 3, the spray height can be dynamically adjusted simply by adjusting the angle of the handle 2, thereby further optimizing the user's spray experience during the use of the foot massager.

[0025] Specifically, in combination Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the handle 2 has a storage position A and a working position B. The rotatable range of the handle 2 includes at least the storage position A and the working position B. When water does not need to be discharged through the spray nozzle, the handle 2 can be placed in the storage position A. At this time, the first spray nozzle 210 is set close to the outer surface of the body 1 for easy storage or to avoid interfering with user use. When water needs to be discharged through the first spray nozzle 210, the handle 2 is placed in the working position. At this time, there is a certain distance between the first spray nozzle 210 and the body 1, and the part of the handle 2 with the first spray nozzle 210 is located above the receiving cavity 100. Water flows out from the first spray nozzle 210 in the direction of the receiving cavity 100. Since the user's feet and legs are located in the receiving cavity 100 of the body 1 at this time, the water will spray towards the user's leg area, more specifically, towards the user's knee area, achieving spraying of the user's knee area. Then it returns to the receiving cavity 100, realizing the circulation of water flow.

[0026] Combination Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the handle 2 includes a housing 20, which includes the aforementioned first surface 21 and second surface 22. The aforementioned water supply assembly 3 includes a spray assembly 30 disposed within the housing 20. The spray assembly 30 has a first side surface 3001 near the first surface 21, and the first side surface 3001 has a water outlet 3010 corresponding to the position of the first spray port 210. The other parts of the water supply assembly 3, excluding the spray assembly 30, guide water from the receiving cavity 100 to the water outlet 3010 of the spray assembly 30, and then spray it out through the first spray port 210. The spray assembly 30 is entirely built into the housing 20 of the handle 2. The housing 20 provides rigid support for the spray assembly 30 and prevents external collisions or dust from directly contaminating the water outlet 3010, thus protecting the spray assembly 30.

[0027] Combination Figures 10 to 16As shown, in some embodiments, the spray assembly 30 includes a bracket 301 and a sealing assembly 302. The bracket 301 includes a first side 3001 and a second side 3002, the second side 3002 having a water inlet 3020; and the bracket 301 has a hollow inner cavity communicating with the water inlet 3020 and the water outlet 3010. The sealing assembly 302 is disposed in the hollow inner cavity of the bracket 301, and the sealing assembly 302 is disposed in a sealing manner with respect to the water inlet 3020 and the water outlet 3010, and the water inlet 3020 and the water outlet 3010 are on the same side of the sealing assembly 302. Wherein, when water is injected into the water inlet 3020, the sealing assembly 302 is subjected to water flow pressure and moves along the water flow direction, so that a first gap is formed between the water inlet 3020 and the sealing assembly 302, and a second gap communicating with the first gap is formed between the sealing assembly 302 and the water outlet 3010. Here, "same side" means that when water flows into the inlet hole 3020 and the sealing assembly 302 is forced to move away from the inlet hole 3020, it also moves away from the outlet hole 3010, rather than moving closer to the outlet hole 3010. For example, both the inlet hole 3020 and the outlet hole 3010 are located below the sealing assembly 302.

[0028] In at least some embodiments, such as Figures 10 to 16 As shown, the first side surface 3001 and the second side surface 3002 are adjacent. The first side surface 3001 is close to the first surface 21 of the outer shell 20, that is, close to the body 1. The second side surface 3002 is the side surface that is connected to the first side surface 3001 and is closest to the first side surface 3001. In other embodiments, the first side surface 3001 and the second side surface 3002 may not be adjacent, and there may be a spacer surface between them.

[0029] Figure 10 , Figure 11 as well as Figure 12 The dashed arrow indicates the direction of water flow. When water is injected into the inlet hole 3020, the sealing component 302 is displaced along the direction of water flow under the impact force of the water flow; that is, the sealing component 302 as a whole is displaced away from the inlet hole 3020 and the outlet hole 3010. This increases the gap between the sealing component 302, which originally blocked the inlet hole 3020 and the outlet hole 3010, and the locations of the inlet hole 3020 and the outlet hole 3010, allowing water to flow from the inlet hole 3020 to the outlet hole 3010.

[0030] After water supply to the inlet 3020 is stopped, water remains in the water supply assembly 3. However, since the remaining water is no longer sufficient to generate enough impact force to move the sealing assembly 302, the sealing assembly 302 continues to seal the inlet 3020 and the outlet 3010. This prevents the residual water in the water supply assembly 3 from flowing out of the first spray nozzle 210, which could lead to unexpected water flow and affect the user experience.

[0031] In some embodiments, the spray assembly 30 has a recessed region. A water inlet 3020 is disposed in the recessed region. For example... Figure 10 In the structure shown, the first side 3001 and the second side 3002 are adjacent. A portion of the second side 3002 is recessed towards the opposite side, forming a narrow recessed area. This recessed area, on the one hand, causes the water inlet 3020 to be relatively recessed, creating a locally narrower structure inside the spray assembly 30. When water enters, a high-speed water flow zone can be formed near the water inlet 3020, allowing the water to enter the spray assembly 30 more smoothly and improving water delivery efficiency. On the other hand, it is understandable that this connection port requires an external pipe to transport water. With the recessed area, part of the external pipe can be embedded within the recessed area, reducing the width of the spray assembly 30 and the external pipe, thus lowering the overall structural space requirements and adapting to the smaller space inside the handle 2.

[0032] Combination Figure 10 , 15 As shown, in some embodiments, the spray assembly 30 includes a guide pipe, one end of which is connected to the water inlet 3020, and the other end extends into the internal space of the spray assembly 30, extending along the direction from the first surface 21 to the second surface 22. Further, the extension direction of the guide pipe is perpendicular to the first side surface 3001. A sealing component 302 is partially and sealably disposed at the end of the guide pipe extending into the internal space of the spray assembly 30. Thus, after the water flows into the interior of the spray assembly 30 along the guide pipe, it directly impacts the sealing component 302, causing the sealing component 302 to move away from the first side surface 3001 where the water outlet 3010 is located. This efficiently pushes the sealing component 302, thereby quickly opening the first and second gaps. The water flow direction is as follows... Figure 15 As indicated by the dashed arrow.

[0033] In some embodiments, the bracket 301 includes an upper bracket shell 3011 and a lower bracket shell 3012. The upper bracket shell 3011 and the lower bracket shell 3012 are connected to form the bracket 301 as a whole, and a hollow inner cavity is formed inside the bracket 301. Specifically, in some embodiments, the upper bracket shell 3011 and the lower bracket shell 3012 are ultrasonically welded together. Ultrasonic welding results in a uniform and dense weld seam with good sealing performance and low cost. In other embodiments, the upper bracket shell 3011 and the lower bracket shell 3012 can also be connected by laser welding, vibration friction welding, sealant, etc.

[0034] In some embodiments, the spray assembly 30 further includes an elastic element 303. The elastic element 303 is disposed between the side of the sealing assembly 302 away from the water inlet 3020 and the bracket 301. The elastic element 303 applies a force to the sealing assembly 302 pointing towards the side where the water inlet 3020 is located. The elastic element 303 continuously applies a restoring force towards the water inlet 3020 on the back side of the sealing assembly 302, forming a dynamic balance with the impact force of the water flow. During water supply, under the impact force of the water flow, the elastic element 303 rapidly compresses, and the sealing assembly 302 moves backward, instantly opening the first and second gaps to allow water to flow out. After water supply ends, the water pressure drops instantly, and the elastic element 303 immediately rebounds, pushing the sealing assembly 302 back to the position blocking the water inlet 3020 and the water outlet 3010, cutting off the residual water path and preventing further leakage of residual water.

[0035] The elastic element 303 is, for example, a spring. In some embodiments, the elastic element 303 may also be an elastic rubber column or the like.

[0036] In some embodiments, multiple elastic elements 303 are provided. This arrangement allows for the replacement of one elastic element 303 if it fails or is ineffective, ensuring the overall reset effect and improving structural reliability. Specifically, in some embodiments, two elastic elements 303 are provided, positioned at both ends of the sealing assembly 302 along its length. This ensures that the sealing assembly 302 is subjected to balanced forces at both ends, facilitating synchronous rebound at both ends, preventing misalignment, and improving the reliability of leak-proof control.

[0037] In some embodiments, the sealing assembly 302 includes an elastic seal 3021 and a seal mounting plate 3022. The seal mounting plate 3022 is disposed in a sealable manner at the water inlet 3020. The elastic seal 3021 is fixedly mounted on the seal mounting plate 3022 and is also disposed in a sealable manner at the water outlet 3010. Due to its elastic properties, the elastic seal 3021 can compressibly fit close to the water outlet 3010, further improving the sealing performance of the water outlet 3010 and preventing leakage. The elastic seal 3021 is fixedly mounted on the seal mounting plate 3022, forming a single unit, with no relative displacement between them, to ensure accurate control.

[0038] In some embodiments, the elastic element 303 is made of silicone. In other embodiments, the elastic element 303 may also be made of materials such as rubber. Examples are not listed here.

[0039] Figure 16This is a perspective view showing the spray assembly 30 with a portion of the support hidden, specifically the lower housing 3012. In some embodiments, a portion of the sealing assembly 302 protrudes away from the upper housing 3011, forming a recessed area. This recessed area and the lower surface of the upper housing 3011 form a space to accommodate the elastic member 303. The elastic member 303 is disposed within this space, with one end contacting the upper housing 3011. Specifically, as... Figure 16 As shown, the sealing mounting plate 3022 has recessed areas S1 and S2, each forming a space with the lower surface of the bracket upper shell 3011 to accommodate the elastic element 303. The two elastic elements 303 are each disposed within the spaces formed by S1 and S2.

[0040] Combination Figure 7 , 8 As shown in Figures 9 and 17, the water supply assembly 3 includes a water pump 31 and a water supply pipe 32, with the water pump 31 connected between the receiving cavity 100 and the first spray nozzle 210 via the water supply pipe 32. The water pump 31 can be controlled to start, outputting water from the receiving cavity 100 to the first spray nozzle 210 along the water supply pipe. The body 1 of the foot massager includes a first housing 101 and a second housing 102 sleeved outside the first housing 101. The internal cavity of the first housing 101 is a receiving cavity 100 for containing water and for user use. When the user uses it, the feet and legs are placed in the receiving cavity 100 to achieve a foot bath. There is a gap between at least a portion of the first housing 101 and at least a portion of the second housing 102 for accommodating part of the water supply assembly 3. Specifically, the water pump 31 and part of the water supply pipe 32 are disposed in the gap between the first housing 101 and the second housing 102 to prevent water in the receiving cavity 100 from affecting the use of the water supply assembly 3, thereby reducing safety risks.

[0041] In some embodiments, the water supply assembly 3 includes a water valve 33. A water supply line 32 connects the water valve 33 to the water pump 31 and the first spray nozzle 210. Specifically, the water supply line 32 includes a water pump downpipe 321, a water pump outlet pipe 322, and a first inlet pipe 323. The water pump downpipe 321 connects the receiving cavity 100 and the water pump 31. The water pump outlet pipe 322 connects the water valve 33 and the water pump 31. The first inlet pipe 323 connects the water valve 33 and the first spray nozzle 210. The water valve 33 serves as a switching node, enabling on / off control of the first spray nozzle 210. This helps avoid frequent starting and stopping of the water pump 31, achieving precise spray control while reducing energy consumption.

[0042] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, a second spray nozzle 1010 is provided inside the main body 1. The water supply assembly 3 connects the receiving cavity 100 and the second spray nozzle 1010. The first spray nozzle 210 can spray water towards areas at a higher height, and the second spray nozzle 1010 can spray water towards areas at a lower height. The first spray nozzle 210 and the second spray nozzle 1010 can achieve dual-area water spraying. Specifically, when the foot massager is in use, the aforementioned first spray nozzle 210 can spray water towards the user's knee area, and the second spray nozzle 1010 can spray water towards the user's calves or feet, which helps to expand the spray coverage area, achieve a more three-dimensional spray effect, and thus further optimize the user experience.

[0043] Specifically, when the water supply assembly 3 includes a water pump 31 and a water supply pipeline 32, the water supply pipeline 32 connects the water pump 31 and the second spray nozzle 1010.

[0044] Combination Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, the water supply assembly 3 further includes a water valve 33. The water supply line 32 connects the water valve 33 between the water pump 31 and the second spray port 1010 to achieve on / off control of the second spray port 1010. In some embodiments, the same water valve 33 is shared between the water pump 31 and the first spray port 210, and between the water pump 31 and the second spray port 1010, allowing control of both flow paths through a single water valve 33. Specifically, the water supply line 32 includes a water pump downpipe 321, a water pump outlet pipe 322, a first inlet pipe 323, and a second inlet pipe 324. The water pump downpipe 321 connects the receiving cavity 100 and the water pump 31. The water pump outlet pipe 322 connects the water valve 33 and the water pump 31. The first inlet pipe 323 connects the water valve 33 and the first spray port 210. The second water inlet pipe 324 is connected between the water valve 33 and the second spray port 1010. The water valve 33 controls the flow path between the water pump 31 and the first water inlet pipe 323, and between the water pump 31 and the second water inlet pipe 324. The water valve 33 can arbitrarily achieve single-port spraying, simultaneous dual-port spraying, or alternating pulse spraying to meet the differentiated massage needs of users. Furthermore, when one path is closed, the other path can still maintain its rated flow. Thus, while ensuring the functionality of the water path control, it is beneficial to save on components. In other embodiments, a first water valve is provided between the water pump 31 and the first spray port 210, and a second water valve is provided between the water pump 31 and the second spray port 1010. The two water valves respectively control the two flow paths.

[0045] Combination Figures 18 to 21As shown, the foot massager also includes a sensor 4, which is disposed at the first mounting end 11 and / or the second mounting end 12. The sensor 4 senses the current position of the handle 2 and is electrically connected to the water supply assembly 3. The water supply assembly 3 can be controlled according to the current position of the handle 2. Thus, the sensor 4 senses the position of the handle 2, thereby automatically controlling the water supply based on the different positions of the handle 2. Specifically, when the sensor 4 senses that the handle 2 is not raised to the working position, the water supply assembly 3 stops operating, thereby preventing accidental activation of the spray. When the handle 2 is raised to the working position, the water supply assembly 3 operates, automatically spraying water in response to user needs.

[0046] In some embodiments, the sensing unit 4 is connected to the water valve 33 in the water supply assembly 3. Corresponding to different current positions of the handle 2 sensed by the sensing unit 4, the water valve 33 is in different states, thereby controlling the spraying process. In some embodiments, the sensing unit 4 is connected to the water pump 31 in the water supply assembly 3. Corresponding to different current positions of the handle 2 sensed by the sensing unit 4, the water pump 31 is in different operating states, thereby controlling the spraying process. In some embodiments, the water supply assembly 3 further includes a power supply unit electrically connected to the water pump 31. The sensing unit 4 is electrically connected to the power supply unit, and the operating state of the water pump 31 is controlled by controlling the power supply unit, thereby controlling the spraying process. In some embodiments, a switch unit connected to the sensing unit 4 may also be provided. The switch unit is connected to the water pump or the power supply unit, and the operating state of the water pump 31 is controlled by controlling the on / off state of the switch unit, thereby controlling the spraying process. In some embodiments, the sensing unit 4 includes a Hall sensor. In some embodiments, the sensing unit 4 may also be a photoelectric sensor, etc.

[0047] In some embodiments, the sensing unit 4 is a component, partially disposed on the first mounting end 11 and / or the second mounting end 12, and partially disposed on the handle 2. Taking the sensing unit 4 as a Hall sensor as an example, the Hall sensor includes a Hall sensing plate 42 and a Hall sensing magnet 41. The Hall sensing plate 42 is mounted on the first mounting end 11, and the Hall sensing magnet 41 is mounted on the handle 2 at a position corresponding to the first mounting end 11. When the handle 2 is open and in the working position, the Hall sensing magnet 41 on the handle 2 is above the Hall sensing plate 42. The Hall sensing magnet 41 triggers the Hall sensing plate 42, at which time the water supply assembly 3 operates and sprays water. When the handle 2 is retracted, i.e., in the non-working position, the Hall sensing magnet 41 on the handle 2 disengages from the Hall sensing plate 42. At this time, the water supply assembly 3 does not operate, avoiding water spraying onto unnecessary areas when the handle 2 is in an incorrect position. In other embodiments, the positions of the Hall sensing plate 42 and the Hall sensing magnet 41 can also be interchanged. The Hall sensor plate 42 may also be installed on the second mounting end 12, or both the first mounting end 11 and the second mounting end 12 may be mounted on it. Adaptive settings can be made for various possible scenarios to achieve sensing of the position of the handle 2; these will not be elaborated upon here.

[0048] In some embodiments, the foot bath massager further includes a controller connected to the sensing unit 4 and the water supply assembly 3. The controller controls the water supply assembly 3 according to the signal from the sensing unit 4. Specifically, when the sensing unit 4 senses that the handle 2 is in the working position, the controller controls the water supply assembly 3 to prevent the water supply assembly 3 from supplying water to the first spray nozzle. When the sensing unit 4 senses that the handle 2 is in the non-working position, the controller controls the water supply assembly 3 to allow the water supply assembly to supply water to the first spray nozzle.
