[0042] In order to explain the technical content, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is an explanation in combination with the implementation modes and the accompanying drawings.

[0043] The most critical concept of the present invention is to provide a scrubbing mechanism that can move up and down, so that the bathing device can not only clean the user's body, but also wipe and scrub the user's body.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 A bathing device comprises a controller 1, a column 2, a lifting mechanism 3, a bathing ring 4, a contour scanning device and at least one scrubbing mechanism, wherein the lifting mechanism 3 is arranged on the column 2 and electrically connected to the controller 1, the lifting mechanism 3 is connected to the bathing ring 4 and drives the bathing ring 4 to rise and fall, the contour scanning device is arranged on the bathing ring 4 and electrically connected to the controller 1, the scrubbing mechanism comprises a telescopic driving member 6, a telescopic assembly and a scrubbing assembly connected to the telescopic assembly, the telescopic driving member 6 is arranged on the bathing ring 4 and electrically connected to the controller 1, the telescopic driving member 6 is connected to the telescopic assembly and drives the scrubbing assembly to approach or move away from the center of the bathing ring 4.

[0045] The working principle of the present technical solution is briefly described as follows: the lifting mechanism 3 drives the bathing ring 4 to rise and fall, so that the contour scanning device scans the user's body contour data, and the controller 1 plans the scrubbing path of the scrubbing mechanism according to the user's body contour data; then, the controller 1 controls the lifting mechanism 3 and the telescopic drive member 6 to work, so that the bathing device completes the scrubbing work.

[0046] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effect of the present invention is that a scrubbing function is added to the bathing device, so that the bathing device can not only clean the user's body, but also wipe and scrub the user's body, making it more convenient for the user to use and greatly improving the user experience.

[0047] Furthermore, the bathing ring 4 is provided with at least one liquid channel, and further comprises a first control valve for controlling the on-off of the liquid channel, and the first control valve is electrically connected to the controller 1 .

[0048] From the above description, it can be seen that the liquid channel can be a channel for spraying water needed for washing the body, a channel for spraying shampoo, or a channel for spraying shower gel; it further facilitates the use of the user and enhances the user experience; it increases the diversity of bathing equipment and is conducive to improving the market competitiveness of bathing equipment.

[0049] Furthermore, it also includes a shower head 10 arranged on the column 2 or the bathing ring 4 , and the shower head 10 is located above the bathing ring 4 .

[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the shower head is used to spray clean water, shampoo or shower gel, etc.

[0051] Furthermore, an adjusting member 11 is provided on the bathing ring 4, and a first tooth portion 111 is provided on the adjusting member 11. The telescopic assembly includes a first telescopic arm 7 and a second telescopic arm 8. One end of the first telescopic arm 7 is rotatably arranged on the bathing ring 4, and the other end of the first telescopic arm 7 is rotatably connected to one end of the second telescopic arm 8. The telescopic driving member 6 is arranged at the other end of the second telescopic arm 8, and a first gear is provided at the output end of the telescopic driving member 6, and the first gear is meshed with the first tooth portion 111 on the adjusting member 11; the scrubbing assembly is arranged at the connection between the first telescopic arm 7 and the second telescopic arm 8.

[0052] From the above description, it can be seen that when the telescopic assembly is working, the angle between the first and second telescopic arms can be adjusted from less than 108° to greater than 180°. When the telescopic assembly is retracted, the first and second telescopic arms can be very close to the bathing ring, which will not cause any impact on the lifting and lowering of the bathing ring, nor will it scratch the user, which is conducive to the miniaturization of bathing equipment; when the telescopic assembly is extended, the connection between the first and second telescopic arms can be very close to the center of the bathing ring, so that the scrubbing assembly can scrub some dead corners of the user's body and improve the scrubbing effect.

[0053] Furthermore, a second tooth portion 71 is provided at the other end of the first telescopic arm 7 , and a third tooth portion 81 is provided at one end of the second telescopic arm 8 . The first telescopic arm 7 and the second telescopic arm 8 are rotatably connected through the meshing of the second tooth portion 71 and the third tooth portion 81 .

[0054] It can be seen from the above description that providing the second and third tooth portions is beneficial to improving the working stability of the telescopic assembly and avoiding the phenomenon of jamming.

[0055] Furthermore, the adjusting member 11 is ring-shaped, and the adjusting member 11 can be rotatably set on the bathing ring 4. The rotation center axis of the adjusting member 11 is vertically set and the center of the adjusting member 11 is located on its rotation center axis. The first tooth portion 111 is set around the outer peripheral wall of the adjusting member 11 and / or the inner peripheral wall of the adjusting member 11; it also includes a rotating driving member 14, which is arranged on the bathing ring 4 and electrically connected to the controller 1, and the output end of the rotating driving member 14 is provided with a second gear, which is meshed with the first tooth portion 111; one end of the first telescopic arm 7 can be rotatably set on the adjusting member 11.

[0056] From the above description, it can be seen that the scrubbing mechanism can make circular motion in a plane perpendicular to the column. The bathing equipment can perform all-round scrubbing of the user's body with a smaller number of scrubbing mechanisms, which greatly reduces the number of scrubbing mechanisms required, is beneficial to improving the working stability of the bathing equipment, and reducing the manufacturing cost of the bathing equipment.

[0057] Furthermore, the scrubbing assembly comprises a support pad 9 on which a scrubbing piece is provided.

[0058] It can be seen from the above description that the scrubbing member is used to scrub and wipe the user's body skin.

[0059] Furthermore, the controller 1 includes a control panel, and the control panel is provided with a touch screen and / or control buttons.

[0060] It can be seen from the above description that the user can control the operation of the bathing device through the control panel.

[0061] Furthermore, it also includes a handrail 13 arranged on the column 2 or the bathing ring 4.

[0062] It can be seen from the above description that the handrail is provided to facilitate the user to hold on to, prevent the user from accidentally falling, and improve the safety of the user's bathing activities.

[0063] Furthermore, the contour scanning device includes at least one rangefinder 5 .
