Description

Body steamer TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of health care equipment, and in particular to a body steamer. BACKGROUND

[0002] A foot bath device is a health care equipment, which helps to promote blood circulation, relax the body and mind, regulate human functions, and achieve the effect of preventing diseases and health care through washing, stimulating or massaging the human feet. In addition to the traditional function of hot water soaking feet, some existing foot bath devices also have the function of steam fumigation. Adding the function of steam fumigation can heat and stimulate the legs of the human body, improving the comfort of users.

[0003] In order to avoid high-temperature steam from burning the user, the steam needs to be cooled before being delivered to the legs of the human body. One existing technology, such as the solution disclosed in the Chinese Utility Model Patent with the publication number CN210748931U, mixes the steam with cold air outside the foot bath device to cool the steam, and then delivers it to the soles of the feet. The steam starts fumigating from the soles, and gradually fills the entire foot bath basin, affecting the legs. However, in this existing technical solution, on the one hand, the speed of steam filling the entire foot bath basin is slow, and on the other hand, the steam gradually cools down during its upward process. In this way, the steam that feels appropriate in temperature for the feet will feel cooler when it rises to the legs. That is, due to the slow filling speed of the steam and the uneven temperature of the steam in the upward and downward directions, the fumigation effect felt by the legs is not obvious, affecting the comfort experience of the user.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies.

[0051] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The features in the following examples can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0052] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 10, the present application discloses a body steamer 100, which can generate steam to fumigate the body, so as to achieve the health care purpose of promoting blood circulation, relieving fatigue, massage physiotherapy, and relaxing body and mind. In some embodiments, the body steamer 100 is mainly used for fumigating the limbs of the human body. For example, in an embodiment, the body steamer 100 is a foot bath machine, which can fumigate the lower limbs of the human body, i.e. legs and feet; in another embodiment, the body steamer 100 can be used for fumigating the upper limbs of the human body, i.e. arms and hands. The body steamer 100 comprises a steaming chamber 101 and a steam temperature regulating cavity 102 in fluid communication with the steaming chamber 101. The steaming chamber 101 is used to accommodate a body part, and steam is introduced into the steaming chamber 101 to fumigate the body part. The body part is, for example, the lower limbs, upper limbs, etc. described above, and of course can also be other parts. The steam temperature regulating cavity 102 is suitable for adjusting high-temperature steam to appropriate-temperature steam to be delivered to the steaming chamber 101. It should be noted that the appropriate-temperature steam refers to steam with a temperature suitable for fumigating the body, and the temperature range is not absolute and can vary from person to person and from environment to environment. For example, in an embodiment, the temperature of the appropriate-temperature steam is between 30°C and 60°C. The steam temperature regulating cavity 102 comprises a first steam passage 1021, a second steam passage 1022, and at least one pair of shunt protrusions 111. Among them, the first steam passage 1021 is suitable for configuring the appropriate-temperature steam to be input from the bottom of the steaming chamber 101; the second steam passage 1022 is suitable for configuring the appropriate-temperature steam to be input from the upper part and / or the middle part of the steaming chamber 101; the pair of shunt protrusions 111 are arranged at a set distance apart, and the first steam passage 1021 is defined between the pair of shunt protrusions 111, and the second steam passage 1022 is defined outside the shunt protrusions 111, and the appropriate-temperature steam can partially pass over the shunt protrusions 111 to enter the second steam passage 1022 while flowing in the first steam passage 1021.

[0053] The body steamer 100 provided in the present application can make the proper temperature steam input from the bottom of the steaming chamber 101 and from the middle or upper area of the side of the steaming chamber 101, so that the proper temperature steam can quickly fill the steaming chamber 101, and the temperature difference between the upper and lower areas of the steaming chamber 101 can be reduced, and the steaming effect on the body and the use comfort can be improved. Moreover, the steam entering the second steam passage 1022 comes over the shunt protrusion 111, the shunt protrusion 111 has a blocking effect on the part of the steam, which can slow down the flow rate of the part of the steam, avoid the discomfort of the user caused by the faster speed impacting the middle and upper part of the steaming chamber 101, and at the same time, the blocking effect can also have the effect of flow disturbance, which is beneficial to make the temperature of the part of the steam entering the second steam passage 1022 more suitable, avoid the discomfort of the user caused by the steam being too hot, too cold or uneven in temperature.

[0054] In the present embodiment, the second steam passage 1022 is further provided with a flow resistance protrusion 41 for slowing down the flow of the proper temperature steam in the second steam passage 1022, and the proper temperature steam in the second steam passage 1022 enters the steaming chamber 101 over the flow resistance protrusion 41. The shunt protrusion 111 and the flow resistance protrusion 41 are staggered to form a zigzag flow channel. By further providing the flow resistance protrusion 41 in the second steam passage 1022, which forms a zigzag flow channel with the shunt protrusion 111, the flow rate of the steam entering the steaming chamber 101 from the second steam passage 1022 can be further slowed down, and further flow disturbance mixing can be achieved, which can avoid the discomfort of the user caused by the fast impact of the steam flow and the insufficient or uneven temperature adjustment of the steam, resulting in the discomfort of the user caused by the steam being too hot, too cold or uneven in temperature. The flow resistance protrusion 41 is provided with a drainage inclined surface 411 for guiding the proper temperature steam out of the second steam passage 1022.

[0055] Please refer to FIG. 3 to FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, the body steamer 100 has a cavity surrounded by walls and a partition plate 4 placed in the cavity, the partition plate 4 separates the cavity into the steaming chamber 101 and the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102. The partition plate 4 is arranged in the cavity to separate the steaming chamber 101 and the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102, which has a simple structure. Specifically, the cavity has a front wall facing the user during use and a rear wall away from the user, the partition plate 4 is arranged close to the rear wall and has a certain distance from the rear wall to form the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 between them. It can be understood that the separation means that the steaming chamber 101 and the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 are two distinguishable spaces, and it does not mean that they are isolated and not connected. On the contrary, in the present embodiment, the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 and the steaming chamber 101 are in fluid communication, and they can mutually enter and exit air.

[0056] Please refer to FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, the baffle 4 is plate-shaped as a whole, and is provided with the flow blocking protrusion 41 near the left and right edges. In the embodiment, the flow blocking protrusion 41 has a certain width, is a hollow protruding rib protruding towards the rear wall of the cavity, and extends in the up-down direction; such arrangement enables the baffle 4 to be fixed on the rear wall by the flow blocking protrusion 41. Since the flow blocking protrusion 41 is closer to the rear wall, a plurality of screw posts can be arranged on the flow blocking protrusion 41 or the position opposite to the flow blocking protrusion 41 on the rear wall, and the baffle 4 is fixed on the rear wall of the cavity by the screws passing through the screw posts. In other embodiments, the flow blocking protrusion 41 can also be provided as a thin sheet-shaped protruding plate.

[0057] The left and right side edges of the baffle 4 and the rear wall have a distance to form a side outlet 402 for the steam in the second steam passage 1022 to flow into the steam bath room 101. The side outlet 402, that is, the outlet of the second steam passage 1022, is an up-down extending long strip-shaped outlet. In the embodiment, the long strip-shaped outlet extends from top to bottom and has a length not less than one half of the height of the steam bath room 101; such arrangement enables the steam to enter the steam bath room 101 from the upper, middle and lower middle or bottom of the side, so that the steam fills the steam bath room 101 more quickly, and the steam enters the steam bath room 101 at each height of the side, avoiding the feeling of steam layering. In the embodiment, the side outlet 402 extends from the upper end of the baffle 4 to the lower end of the baffle 4. In the embodiment, at least part of the long strip-shaped outlet is provided with a grid strip plate 42, and a plurality of grid holes are arranged on the grid strip plate 42. The arrangement of the grid strip plate 42 is conducive to the uniform dispersion of the steam flowing out through the grid holes.

[0058] Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, in the embodiment, the body steamer 100 further comprises a temperature measuring member 81 for detecting the temperature of the suitable temperature steam, and the temperature measuring member 81 is arranged in the second steam passage 1022. Since the steam entering the second steam passage 1022 is mixed more fully due to the blocking and flow disturbing effect of the flow dividing protrusion 111, the temperature measuring member 81 is arranged in the second steam passage 1022, and the temperature measurement is more accurate. In the embodiment, the temperature measuring member 81 is arranged outside the flow blocking protrusion 41, so that the steam measured by the temperature measuring member 81 is the steam after the flow disturbance of the tortuous flow passage formed by the flow dividing protrusion 111 and the flow blocking protrusion 41, and the steam is mixed more fully, and the temperature measurement is more accurate. The temperature measuring member 81 is a temperature measuring probe, which protrudes into the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 from the rear wall of the cavity.

[0059] The lower end of the partition plate 4 is provided with a bottom outlet 401 for the steam in the first steam passage 1021 to flow into the steam bath chamber 101. The bottom outlet 401 is the outlet of the first steam passage 1021. In the present embodiment, the bottom outlet 401 is formed by the distance between the lower end edge of the partition plate 4 and the bottom wall of the cavity. The partition plate 4 is provided with an air suction port 403 near the upper end, which communicates the steam bath chamber 101 and the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102, for sucking the steam in the upper part of the steam bath chamber 101 into the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 to be adjusted to a temperature suitable steam, and then input into the steam bath chamber 101 from the bottom outlet 401 and the side outlet 402.

[0060] In order to avoid the temperature of the partition plate 4 being too high to cause scalding when the human body part contacts it, the side of the partition plate 4 facing the steam bath chamber 101 is provided with an anti-scald part 43. In the present embodiment, the anti-scald part 43 includes a plurality of protrusions configured to reduce the contact area of the limb with the partition plate 4 when the user's limb touches the partition plate 4. In an embodiment, the protrusions can be solid cylinders, which have poor thermal conductivity and are thick, so as to reduce the risk of the partition plate 4 scalding the user. In the present embodiment, the protrusions are rib plates, which can be in the shape of a long strip, an arc, a circle, a spiral, etc., which can reduce the contact area when the user touches it, and also form a pattern to improve the aesthetics. For example, in the present embodiment, the protrusions include a plurality of arc-shaped and circular rib plates arranged in the shape of a spread water ripple. It should be noted that the anti-scald part 43 in the present embodiment is anti-scald by reducing the contact area; in other embodiments, the anti-scald part 43 can also be achieved by heat insulation, such as providing a heat insulation member, applying a heat insulation material, etc.; in some other embodiments, the partition plate 4 can be made of a heat insulation material as a whole or in part.

[0061] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the body steamer 100 comprises a housing 1 and a cover 2 arranged on the housing 1. The cover 2 is provided with an operation panel operable to operate the body steamer 100. The housing 1 is provided with a recess at the upper end of the front side of the housing 1 for supporting the leg of a human body. The housing 1 encloses a chamber, and the housing 1 comprises an inner shell 11 and an outer shell 12 arranged outside the inner shell 11. Please refer to FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, in the embodiment, the inner shell 11 is a half-frame shell with an open upper end and front end, and the inner shell 11 constitutes part of the wall of the chamber. The flow dividing protrusions 111 are formed on the wall of the chamber, specifically, on the inner surface of the rear wall of the inner shell 11. In other embodiments, the flow dividing protrusions 111 can also be formed on the partition plate 4. In the embodiment, the flow dividing protrusions 111 have a certain width, and are hollow protruding ribs extending in the up-down direction. In other embodiments, the flow dividing protrusions 111 can also be provided as thin sheet-shaped protruding plates. In the embodiment, the flow dividing protrusions 111 are also arranged on the bottom wall of the inner shell 11, i.e. each flow dividing protrusion 111 is L-shaped, and the pair of flow dividing protrusions 111 are arranged in parallel. The flow dividing protrusions 111 are also arranged in parallel with the flow blocking protrusions 41. Of course, in other embodiments, the flow dividing protrusions 111 and the flow blocking protrusions 41 can also be arranged non-parallel to each other, for example, the pair of flow dividing protrusions 111 can be arranged in the shape of a trumpet that widens or narrows from top to bottom. In the embodiment, the flow dividing protrusions 111 are continuous protruding ribs in the up-down direction, and in other embodiments, they can also be arranged discontinuously, so that a part of the steam can enter the second steam passage 1022 through the small openings of the discontinuous connection, to increase the amount of steam distributed into the second steam passage 1022. The steam passing over the flow dividing protrusions 111 in the present application includes the embodiments in which the steam passes through the flow dividing protrusions 111 through the holes or grooves on the flow dividing protrusions 111.

[0062] In the embodiment, the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 is configured to inhale low-temperature steam in the steam bath chamber 101 to mix with the high-temperature steam to form the suitable-temperature steam. The steam in the steam bath chamber 101 flows from bottom to top and from both sides, and after fumigating the limbs of the human body, the temperature is lowered; especially at the upper part of the steam bath chamber 101, the steam temperature is relatively low because the position of the knees of the human body is communicated with the outside. The application inhales low-temperature steam into the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 to mix with the high-temperature steam in the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 to form the suitable-temperature steam and then input into the steam bath chamber 101. In this way, the steam in the steam bath chamber 101 can be recycled, and the low-temperature steam still has relatively high heat energy available compared with the air inhaled from the outside of the body steamer 100, so that the energy consumption of the body steamer 100 can be reduced. In other embodiments, the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 can also be adjusted in other ways, for example, the inhaled low-temperature steam is heated by electricity, or the low-temperature steam is exchanged by refrigerant, etc.

[0063] In the embodiment, the low-temperature steam and the high-temperature steam are both input into the first steam channel 1021 to mix. The steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 is configured to inhale low-temperature steam in the steam bath chamber 101 to mix with the high-temperature steam to form the suitable-temperature steam, wherein the high-temperature steam is sprayed from top to bottom in the first steam channel 1021, and the low-temperature steam flows downward in the first steam channel 1021 to mix with the high-temperature steam from the top. Specifically, the steam temperature adjusting cavity 102 is provided with a fan 5 for inhaling low-temperature steam and a steam outlet 61 for inputting high-temperature steam, and the fan 5 and the steam outlet 61 are both between the pair of split protrusions 111. The fan 5 is arranged above the steam outlet 61, and drives the low-temperature steam to flow from top to bottom to mix with the high-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam has an upward trend, and the low-temperature steam mixes with the high-temperature steam from top to bottom, which has a good mixing effect and drives the high-temperature steam to flow downward. In an embodiment, the flow of the low-temperature steam driven by the fan 5 and the flow of the high-temperature steam input by the high-temperature steam input port can be independently controlled, so that the temperature and flow of the suitable-temperature steam can be adjusted.
