Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of foot bathing appliances, and in particular to a foot bathing appliance with adjustable spraying angle. Background Art

[0002] A foot bath is a health care appliance used for foot soaking, showering and massage. It can keep the water inside the foot bath at a constant temperature and spray water columns on the user's legs or knees through the spray head of the spray mechanism, so that the calves and knees can be showered and massaged.

[0003] The spray head of the spray mechanism of a traditional foot bath often has only one spray mode, that is, the spray head of the spray mechanism can only spray a water column with a single water flow intensity and a single water column diameter. Therefore, the user's legs or knees can only feel one massage mode and cannot get a variety of massages and sufficient relaxation.

[0004] In addition, the water spraying angle of the spray head of the spray mechanism of the traditional foot bath cannot be adjusted. When using it, the user cannot adjust the spray position according to the height of his legs, nor can the water column spray to different positions of the legs. Therefore, the spray head of the spray mechanism can only continuously spray fixed parts of the user.

[0005] Therefore, how to design a foot bath with an adjustable spray head angle and multiple spray modes is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a foot bath with adjustable spray angle, so as to solve the problem that the current foot bath cannot adjust the spray angle and has a single spray mode.

[0007] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A foot bath includes a basin body and a water pump arranged on the basin body, and also includes a water inlet base, a spray head and a connecting piece. The water pump transports liquid to the water inlet base. The water inlet base is fixed on the basin body. The spray head can be movably connected to the basin body or the water inlet base. The spray head is arranged relative to the water inlet base. The water inlet base is provided with a water outlet. The spray head includes a water through hole, a water inlet surface and a water outlet surface, and the two ends of the water through hole are respectively connected to the water inlet surface and the water outlet surface; the connecting piece is provided with a through hole. The connecting piece is arranged between the water inlet surface of the spray head and the water inlet base; the water outlet hole is connected with the water through hole through the through hole, and the size of the through hole is larger than the size of the water through hole, so that when the spray head moves relative to the water inlet base, the water through hole can always be connected with the water outlet hole through the through hole.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: First, when using the footbath, the user can adjust the water spraying direction of the spray head according to the actual situation, so as to achieve multi-directional spraying and massage of the knees and legs, and enhance the user experience. Secondly, the water inlet base is fixed on the basin body, and the spray head and the water pipe are not connected. Therefore, the water pipe that transports liquid from the water pump to the water inlet base does not need to be displaced as the spray angle changes, thereby increasing the life of the footbath, and the manufacturing process of the entire footbath is simple and low-cost. Finally, the size of the through hole is larger than the size of the water through hole, so that when the spray head moves relative to the water inlet base, the water through hole can always be connected to the water outlet through the through hole, and water will not leak from the connection between the spray head and the water inlet base, or there will be no water flow between the spray head and the water inlet base.

[0014] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper", "lower", "right", etc., directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0015] according to Figures 1 to 4It can be understood that the present invention provides a foot bath, which includes a basin body and a water pump arranged on the basin body, and also includes: a water inlet base 11, a spray head 12 and a connecting piece 13, wherein the water pump transports liquid to the water inlet base 11; wherein the water inlet base 11 is fixed to the basin body, the spray head 12 is movably connected to the basin body or the water inlet base 11, and the spray head 12 is arranged relative to the water inlet base 11; the water inlet base 11 is provided with a water outlet hole 111; the spray head 12 includes a water through hole 121, a water inlet surface 122 and a water outlet surface 1 23, the two ends of the water hole 121 are connected to the water inlet surface 122 and the water outlet surface 123 respectively; the connecting member 13 is provided with a through hole 131, and the connecting member 13 is arranged between the water inlet surface of the sprinkler head 12 and the water inlet base 11; the water outlet hole 111 is connected with the water hole 121 through the through hole 131, and the size of the through hole 131 is larger than that of the water hole 121, so that when the sprinkler head 12 moves relative to the water inlet base 11, the water hole 121 can always be connected with the water outlet hole 111 through the through hole 131.

[0016] The water inlet base 11 receives the liquid from the water pump transporting the liquid inside the foot bath shell through the water pipe. The liquid flows out from the water outlet hole 111 of the water inlet base 11, then flows through the circulation hole 131, and then flows into the water through hole 121 of the spray head 12, and finally sprays out from the water outlet surface 123 of the spray head 12. . The user can adjust the movement of the spray head relative to the water inlet base according to actual needs, so as to spray and massage the user's knees and legs at different positions, which greatly improves the user's experience. At the same time, because the water outlet base and the water pipe are not connected, the water pipe does not move when adjusting the water outlet angle, thereby increasing the life of the foot bath, and the manufacturing process of the entire foot bath is simple and low in cost. The size of the through hole is larger than the size of the water through hole, so that when the spray head 12 moves relative to the water inlet base, the water through hole can always be connected to the water outlet through the through hole, and there will be no leakage of water from the connection between the spray head and the water inlet base, or the water flow between the spray head and the water inlet base will not flow.

[0017] according to Figures 1 to 3It can be understood that the spray head 12 is hinged on the basin body or the water inlet base 11, the water inlet surface of the spray head is an arc-shaped curved surface, and the side of the connecting member 13 facing the water inlet surface 122 is also the corresponding arc-shaped curved surface, so that when the spray head 12 rotates relative to the water inlet base 11, the water inlet surface 122 and the connecting member 13 can maintain close contact to achieve water sealing. By hingedly connecting the spray head to the basin body or the water inlet base 11, the flexible movement or rotation of the spray head can be achieved. By both the water inlet surface of the spray head and the side of the connecting member 13 facing the water inlet surface 122 are arc-shaped curved surfaces, when the spray head 12 moves relative to the water inlet base, the water inlet surface of the spray head and the side of the connecting member 13 facing the water inlet surface 122 always maintain at least a partial surface-to-surface fit.

[0018] according to Figure 4 It can be understood that the through hole of the connecting member 13 extends along the arc-shaped surface, so that the through hole 131 is more adapted to the water outlet hole 111 and the water through hole 121. When the sprinkler head 12 moves, the through hole 131 is more in line with the direction of water flow, and is also more convenient to process, saving manufacturing costs.

[0019] according to Figure 2 It can be understood that a groove is provided on the front surface of the water inlet base 11 and the water inlet surface 122 of the shower head 12, and the protruding connecting member 13 is provided in the groove. Optionally, a groove is provided on the front surface of the water inlet base 11, and the protruding connecting member 13 is provided in the groove. Optionally, a groove is provided on the water inlet surface 122 of the shower head 12, and the protruding connecting member 13 is provided in the groove (not shown in the figure). By setting the groove, the connecting member 13 can be more firmly fixed to the front surface of the water inlet base 11 or the water inlet surface 122 of the shower head 12, to prevent the connecting member 13 from falling off when the shower head 12 is moved or rotated.

[0020] Optionally, the connector 13 is integrally formed with the water inlet base 11, or the connector 13 is integrally formed with the shower head 12. This solution has a simpler structure, saves the number of components, saves manufacturing costs, and makes the water sealing effect between the connector 13 and the water inlet base 11 better, or the water sealing effect between the connector 13 and the shower head 12 better.

[0021] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3It can be understood that, preferably, a guide hole 101 is provided on the side of the water inlet base 11, and a guide block 102 is provided on the side of the shower head 12 to slide in the guide hole 101. The sliding cooperation between the guide hole 101 and the guide block 102 not only guides the shower head 12 to slide, but also limits the sliding range of the shower head 12, so that the user can slide the shower head within the range of the guide hole 101. Optionally, a guide hole 101 is provided on the side of the shower head 12, and a guide block 102 is provided on the side of the water inlet base 11 to slide in the guide hole 101.

[0022] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be understood that, preferably, the guide hole is in the shape of a strip hole extending along the arc-shaped surface. The arc-shaped surface of the water inlet surface of the shower head 12 can be better adapted by setting the strip hole of the arc-shaped surface.

[0023] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be understood that, preferably, the guide block 102 is arranged on the shower head 12 and extends from the guide hole 101 so as to protrude from the side of the shower head 12. The guide block 102 is arranged on the shower head 12 and extends from the guide hole 101 to facilitate the user to operate with his hands, and is arranged on the side so that the user is not wetted by the water flow during operation.

[0024] according to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be understood that the front surface of the water inlet base 11 can be a spherical surface or a rectangular plane. The spherical surface can rotate the spray head 12 at more angles, and the rectangular plane can be used by the spray head 12 to adjust the water spray height and width.

[0025] according to Figures 5 to 7 It can be understood that the foot bath also includes a water channel switching device 2, which includes: a water diversion mechanism 21, which is provided with at least one water diversion tank 211, and each water diversion tank 211 is provided with a water inlet hole 212 below, and the water inlet hole 212 is provided at the bottom of the water diversion tank 211; a water retaining member 22, which is a sealing structure that can rotate around its center of circle and is provided below the water inlet hole 212. The water retaining member 22 has a notch. When the notch is rotated and located below the water inlet hole 212 of the water diversion tank 211, the water flows into the water diversion tank 211 corresponding to the water inlet hole 212. The setting of the water channel switching device 2 can increase the water channel flowing to the water inlet base 11, and the user can select the water channel setting according to actual needs.

[0026] according to Figures 5 to 7It can be understood that the shower head 12 includes a water outlet plate 213, and the water outlet surface 213 includes at least two groups of water outlets, and the water outlet shapes and water flow speeds of each group of water outlets are different. Different water outlet shapes and water flow speeds can bring different water flow massage strengths and different massage force areas to the user.

[0027] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
