Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of footbaths, in particular to a footbath with an infrared component. Background Art

[0002] Existing footbaths are beginning to feature infrared components, which utilize light wave effects to stimulate the body and provide certain physical therapy functions. The infrared components also generate gentle heat to relax the calves and feet. For example, Chinese patent publication number CN202313014U discloses a massage footbath that uses infrared for foot health care. The bath includes a basin, a heating device, an ozone generator, a massage device, an infrared irradiation device, and a control system. The bath not only has the foot bathing function of a hot water basin, but also offers multiple benefits, such as massage, antibacterial properties, and infrared health care.

[0003] However, in the structure disclosed in the above-mentioned patent, the infrared component is generally located at the bottom of the pelvis. Since near-infrared and mid-infrared rays have high heat and can cause harm to the human body, and human skin has almost no reflection on the radiation energy of far-infrared rays, far-infrared rays can penetrate deep into the human subcutaneous tissue. In particular, far-infrared rays with a wavelength of 8-15 microns have a common vibration frequency with the substances that make up the human body, such as water, protein, fat, and enzymes, and amplify the vibration, forming a molecular resonance phenomenon. Therefore, it can promote the expansion of microvessels and accelerate blood circulation, thereby making the human body feel warm. However, the infrared components of existing foot baths are mostly fixed to the bottom of the basin, and only heat the soles of the feet and the part of the calves soaked in hot water. It is difficult to irradiate parts such as the calves and knees exposed to the water surface, and cannot play a health-care role for parts such as the calves and knees. Especially when the temperature is low, the calves and knees exposed to the water surface are prone to cold, and the user experience is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a footbath with a far-infrared platform, the infrared platform of which has a simple structure and is movable and can adjust the irradiation range of the infrared rays.

[0029] When in use, the infrared irradiation range can be adjusted by rotating the far infrared platform 4; preferably, referring to Figure 4 As shown, by providing a damping structure 6 in the far-infrared platform, the far-infrared platform 4 can be rotated to any position and then locked. The damping structure 6 selected in this embodiment is a damping shaft. Specifically, one end of the damping shaft is inserted into and fixed to the rotating shaft 5, and the other end is connected to the panel assembly 2. The damping shaft is a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Specifically, refer to Figure 2-4 As shown, the panel assembly 2 includes a panel upper cover 21 and a panel lower cover 22; the far-infrared platform 4 includes a bracket 41, an infrared light source 42, a waterproof structure 43 and a protective cover 44; the waterproof structure 43 includes a lampshade 431 and a lamp cover 432; the lampshade 431 has a lamp cover 432 at one end and an opening at the other end, with an infrared light source 42 built in.

[0031] In this embodiment, the bracket 41 is in the shape of a hollow circular box, and its shape matches the recess of the panel cover 21; further, in order to reduce the volume, the lampshade 431 is placed horizontally parallel to the panel assembly 2 and housed in the bracket 41; when in use, by rotating the bracket 41, the lampshade 431 and the infrared light source 42 in the lampshade 431 can be driven to rotate synchronously.

[0033] Furthermore, this embodiment uses a far-infrared light source 42 capable of emitting a wavelength of 8 microns to 15 microns, thereby effectively reducing reflection and better penetrating human skin.

[0034] Preferably, refer to Figure 4As shown, by providing a lamp holder 46 within the lampshade 431 to secure the infrared light source 42, the position of the infrared light source 42 will not shift when the far-infrared platform 4 rotates.
