For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0060] Since the preparatory work required for washing and caring for the elderly who are bedridden for a long time is complicated, and it is necessary to lift and move the elderly to a large extent, there is a risk of secondary injury to the elderly during this process

[0061] Based on this, the following embodiments are proposed.

[0062] Embodiment 1:

[0063] As Figure 1 、 5 shown, this embodiment provides a washing and care machine, including a washing and care device and a water treatment system. The washing and care device includes a cabin 8 and a spraying member, and the spraying member is arranged in the cabin 8; the water treatment system is used to treat water so that the parameters of the water meet preset conditions and deliver the treated water to the spraying member; when the spraying member outputs water into the cabin 8, it can generate a washing and care effect.

[0064] Among them, the parameters of the water include at least one of temperature and cleanliness.

[0065] In this embodiment, the washing and care machine includes a water treatment system. When the water treatment system operates, the washing and care machine is powered on as a whole. After the washing and care machine is powered on, the water treatment system can accept manual settings of preset conditions related to water parameters. The preset conditions can also follow historical storage records. The preset conditions related to water parameters include at least one of temperature and cleanliness, so as to meet the user's comfortable and healthy bathing conditions in the washing and care machine. After the preset conditions are set, the water treatment system will add an appropriate amount of initial water source through the water source and store it. After the initial water source is added, the water treatment system will transport the initial water source to the heating place through the water path to heat the initial water source or directly heat it at the storage place of the initial water source, so that the initial water source reaches a temperature that can be directly used for bathing and a storage capacity that can be used by the user at any time. The water treatment system can supply the user with bathing water source that meets the preset conditions after treatment, can be used for spraying by the user lying in the cabin 8 through the spraying member, and the water treatment system can also recover and recycle the sewage after the user takes a bath. To achieve providing comfortable bathing water for the user.

[0066] By designing the connection relationship between the water treatment system, the cabin 8 and the spraying member, the washing and care machine can realize a highly automated bathing operation from water inlet to water drainage, enabling the user to start bathing simply by entering the cabin 8, without the need for the user to perform cumbersome pre-bathing preparation work, nor large-scale lifting and moving operations on the user, thus greatly reducing the risk of injury to the user during the movement process and further enhancing the user experience.

[0067] The parameters of the water include at least one of temperature and cleanliness. Among the preset conditions, there are a preset temperature range and a preset water quality cleanliness range. The preset temperature is the temperature required for bathing. According to the preferences of different users, the value of the preset temperature is within a certain range. The preset temperature range is generally from 35°C to 55°C. When the initial water source does not reach the preset temperature range, the water treatment system will not spray the initial water source into the cabin to avoid discomfort to the user. The preset water quality cleanliness range is the range value of the water quality required for bathing. If the water quality of the initial water source is poor, it will have an impact on or even harm the user's physical health, so it cannot be used for bathing. When the water treatment system detects that the water quality of the initial water source is not within the preset water quality cleanliness range, it may be that the water quality of the initial water source itself is poor, or there may be problems such as blockage, leakage, and backflow in the filtration of bathing sewage or the water circuit and storage links. At this time, the water treatment system will judge the water quality problem of the initial water source and decide whether to continue supplying water according to the judgment result.

[0068] Through the preset temperature range and the preset water quality cleanliness range, it is possible to ensure that the temperature, water quality and other indicators of the bathing water source sprayed into the cabin 8 meet the bathing requirements. While making the user feel comfortable, it can also reduce the risk of affecting the user's physical health and further improve the user's experience.

[0069] Optionally, in an implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown,

[0070] The water treatment system includes a storage module, a conveying module, a switching module and a preheating module. The storage module is formed with a storage cavity, a storage cavity water outlet and a first storage cavity water inlet; the storage cavity is used for storing the initial water source; the conveying module is formed with a conveying flow channel, the switching module is formed with a first switching flow channel, and the preheating module is formed with a preheating flow channel;

[0071] The storage cavity water outlet, the conveying flow channel, the first switching flow channel, the preheating flow channel, the first storage cavity water inlet and the storage cavity are sequentially connected to form a preheating flow path;

[0072] Under the action of the water conveying module, the water in the storage cavity can enter the preheating module and then enter the storage cavity again. The preheating module can preheat the water flowing through it.

[0073] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown, the storage module is used to store the initial water source. The storage module can be a water bucket or other containers. The container has a lid to prevent the initial water source from overflowing. The material of the container needs to have a heat preservation function to prevent the water temperature of the initial water source from quickly dropping. The conveying module is formed with a conveying channel, the switching module is formed with a first switching channel, and the preheating module is formed with a preheating channel; the water outlet of the storage cavity, the conveying channel, the first switching channel, the preheating channel, the first water inlet of the storage cavity, and the storage cavity are sequentially connected to form a preheating flow path; under the action of the water conveying module, the water in the storage cavity can enter the preheating module and then enter the storage cavity again. The preheating module can preheat the water flowing through. A heating module for heating the initial water source is arranged in the storage module. The heating module can accurately heat the initial water source to the specific temperature value set by the user and form a bathing water source, providing a bathing water source with the accurate temperature value required by the user for the spraying part.

[0074] As Figure 2 shown, the preheating module can preheat the water flowing through. By preheating the initial water source in the storage module through the preheating module, the temperature value of the initial water source can be made to be within a preset temperature range. This preheating design method can reduce the power required to directly heat the initial water source in the storage module by the heating module. Since the heating module directly heats the initial water source in the storage module, the initial water source in the storage module is in a non-dynamic state. However, through the design that under the action of the water conveying module, the water in the storage cavity can enter the preheating module and then enter the storage cavity again, the preheating module can preheat the water flowing through in the preheating flow path, that is, the preheating module preheats the water during the flowing process. There is more efficient heat exchange between the waters, making the preheating efficiency higher, thereby effectively reducing the total power consumption required to heat the water.

[0075] Preferably, the heating method of the preheating module can be either physical heating, such as using electric heating or other methods, or chemical reaction heating, such as using a heating pack in a self-heating pot or other methods.

[0076] Optionally, in an implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown,

[0077] The water treatment system further includes a first flow monitoring module. The first flow monitoring module is formed with a first flow monitoring channel, and the first flow monitoring channel is connected in series between the first switching channel and the preheating channel;

[0078] The first flow monitoring module is used to monitor whether there is water passing through the first flow monitoring channel, and thus can control the preheating module to start or stop the heating function.

[0079] In this embodiment, a first flow monitoring module is designed. When there is no water flowing through the first flow monitoring channel, it indicates that the water meets the temperature preset condition at this time, and there is no need to continue preheating. Therefore, the preheating module can be automatically controlled to stop the heating function. When there is water flowing through the first flow monitoring channel, it indicates that at least part of the water does not meet the temperature preset condition at this time, and preheating needs to continue. Therefore, the preheating module can be automatically controlled to continue to maintain the heating function.

[0080] Optionally, in an implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown,

[0081] The switching module further forms a second switching channel, and the water treatment system further includes a temperature control module, and the temperature control module further forms a temperature control channel;

[0082] The storage cavity, the storage cavity water outlet, the conveying channel, the second switching channel, the temperature control channel, and the spraying member are sequentially connected to form a water supply flow path;

[0083] Under the action of the conveying module, the water in the storage cavity can flow to the spraying member through the temperature control channel; the temperature control module can keep the temperature of the flowing water within a preset range.

[0084] In this embodiment, when the preheating module uses the electric heating method, the water first passes through the first flow monitoring module and then is transported to the preheating module for heating, and then returns to the storage module through the water transportation module. The preheating module has a real-time temperature monitoring function. When the initial water source reaches the preset temperature range, the voice module in the water treatment system gives a voice broadcast of the heating completion, the lighting prompt module in the water treatment system gives a lighting prompt, the switching module in the water treatment system changes the water flow direction to the second switching channel. Under the action of the conveying module, the water in the storage cavity can flow to the spraying member through the temperature control channel, and the temperature control module can keep the temperature of the flowing water within a preset range.

[0085] Preferably, the water treatment system can be connected not only to the cabin 8 but also to other cleaning devices, such as shower heads, faucets, etc. When the water treatment system is connected to devices such as shower heads, a water pressure detection module can be added to the water circuit system. When the shower head is closed, the water pressure detection module can detect an increase in pressure, thereby closing the water circuit transportation. When the shower head is opened, the water pressure detection module detects a decrease in pressure, thereby opening the water circuit transportation, so that users can take a normal bath.

[0086] By setting up a preheating module to preheat the initial water source, the preheating module of the washing and care machine cooperates with the heating module to achieve multi-stage temperature control. The temperature set by the heating module can be higher than that of the preheating module. When the washing and care machine preheats the initial water source every time it starts, on the one hand, it is to reduce the temperature difference between the bathing water source temperature and the output temperature adjusted by the user, so as to reduce the overall power consumption of the washing and care machine. On the other hand, temperature detection functions can be set in both the preheating module and the heating module. Through two-stage temperature detection, the inaccuracy of the bathing water temperature can be avoided, and the discomfort caused by the bathing water temperature being too high or too low for the user can be avoided, thus taking into account the comfort and energy consumption control of the washing and care machine.

[0087] Optionally, in an implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown,

[0088] The washing and care device further includes a water supply module, a drainage module, and a filtration module provided in the cabin 8. The water supply module forms a water supply flow path, and the water supply flow path communicates with the temperature control flow path and the spray member;

[0089] The drainage module forms a drainage flow path, the filtration module forms a filtration flow path, and the storage cavity further forms a second water outlet of the storage cavity;

[0090] The cabin 8, the drainage flow path, the filtration flow path, and the second water outlet of the storage cavity are sequentially connected to form a return water flow path.

[0091] In this embodiment, the water supply module is used to receive the water source within the preset temperature range provided by the temperature control flow path, and supply the water source within the preset temperature range to the spray member. The spray member outputs the water source to the cabin 8 to achieve spraying on the user. The drainage module can discharge the sewage after the user's bath in the cabin 8 outside the cabin 8. The drainage module can directly discharge the sewage into the sewer, or can also transport the sewage to the filtration module. The filtration module can filter the sewage discharged by the drainage module, separate and remove the dirt in the sewage, and make the sewage re-form into a bathing water source that can be used by the user, thereby completing the recovery and recycling of the sewage. The filtered bathing water source can return to the storage module again through the return water flow path for repeated use.

[0092] Optionally, in an implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown,

[0093] The water treatment system further includes

[0094] a water quality monitoring module and a gas monitoring module;

[0095] The water quality monitoring module forms a water quality monitoring flow channel, which is connected in series between the filtration flow channel and the second water outlet of the storage cavity. The water quality monitoring module is used to monitor the cleanliness of the flowing water;

[0096] The gas monitoring module has a monitoring probe located inside the cabin 8. The gas monitoring module is used to monitor the cleanliness of the gas inside the cabin 8.

[0097] In this embodiment, the filtered bath water source can return to the storage module through the return water flow path for reuse. On the path of this return water flow path, the water quality monitoring module can detect the water quality cleanliness value of the return water and generate a detection result. The controller in the water treatment system determines whether to continue transporting the return water to the storage module based on the detection result.

[0098] The gas monitoring module has a monitoring probe located inside the cabin 8. The gas monitoring module is used to monitor the cleanliness of the gas inside the cabin 8. When the washing and care device is used by people with limited mobility, the bathers inside the cabin 8 may experience fecal and urinary incontinence. By setting the monitoring probe of the gas monitoring module inside the cabin 8, the gas inside the cabin 8 can be monitored in real time. When the cleanliness of the gas inside the cabin 8 is detected to be low, the assisting bath personnel can be reminded in time to take certain measures. For example, when the monitoring probe detects that the odor exceeds the standard, stop the spraying and check whether the bather has fecal or urinary incontinence inside the cabin 8.

[0099] Optionally, in one implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown

[0100] The washing and care device further includes a second flow rate monitoring module. The second flow rate monitoring module forms a second flow rate monitoring flow channel, which is connected in series between the filtration flow channel and the second water outlet of the storage cavity, and is used to monitor whether the filtration flow channel or the drainage flow channel is blocked, so as to control the start or stop of the conveying module;

[0101] The washing and care device further includes a diversion module arranged inside the cabin 8. The diversion module is used to direct the water inside the cabin 8 to the drainage module.

[0102] In this embodiment, when the washing and care machine recycles the wastewater used by the user, the water quality monitoring module and the gas monitoring module jointly monitor the cleanliness of the filtered water. If the monitoring result does not exceed the set threshold, the water is allowed to flow back to the storage module for recycling as the bathing water source. If the monitoring result exceeds the set threshold, a signal will be immediately transmitted to the light reminder module and the voice module to give the user a light indication and a voice prompt respectively. By connecting a second flow monitoring module in series between the filtering module and the storage module, it is possible to determine whether the filtering module is blocked or whether other parts of the water circuit are blocked, and transmit the blockage signal to the controller in the water treatment system. The controller controls the start or stop of the conveying module according to the blockage signal, so that when the filtering module or the water circuit is blocked, the conveying module can stop working at any time to avoid damage to the conveying module caused by the blockage.

[0103] Optionally, in an implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown,

[0104] the water treatment system further includes:

[0105] a key module for starting and stopping the washing and care machine;

[0106] a voice module and the light reminder module for playing and displaying the reminder information sent by the washing and care machine;

[0107] a data communication module for establishing communication between the washing and care machine and the cloud;

[0108] an alarm module for transmitting alarm information to the voice module and / or the light reminder module;

[0109] a self-cleaning control module for controlling the washing and care machine to replace the bathing water source for self-cleaning operation;

[0110] a near-field communication module for pairing the cabin 8 and the corresponding water treatment system, so that the water treatment system makes the parameters of the water meet the preset conditions and conveys the treated water to the spraying member.

[0111] In this embodiment, the water treatment system includes: the entire washing and care machine can be started or stopped through the key module, and the data communication module can establish communication between the washing and care machine and the cloud for receiving control instructions sent from the cloud. The cloud can be a wired controller or a wireless remote control. The light reminder module and the voice module can give a prompt to the user by feeding back the signal to the cloud or playing a preset prompt sound when the initial water source reaches or does not reach the preset conditions.

[0112] Through the collaborative work among the above-mentioned multiple modules, the water treatment system can receive instructions from the cloud, automatically process the initial water source to form bathing water, and prompt the user when an abnormal situation occurs in the initial water source, eliminating the need for the user to manually prepare before bathing and increasing the convenience of use for the user.

[0113] The near-field communication module identifies and pairs with the water treatment system through a QR code or other means. For example, through methods such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Near Field Communication (NFC), and NearLink, it can pair the water treatment system and the cabin body for system pairing. Only after successful pairing can the user proceed with the normal bathing process.

[0114] The button module and the voice module can quickly respond to user instructions and provide feedback to the user in the form of voice announcements.

[0115] When the cabin body 8 tilts to a certain angle, the alarm module will send an alarm to the voice module and the lighting prompt module, provide voice announcements and lighting prompts to the user, and simultaneously stop all ongoing operating operations.

[0116] When the user finishes bathing, the washing and care machine starts to replace the bathing water in the storage module. At this time, the conveying module injects all the water in the pipelines into the storage module, and the self-cleaning control module is activated through the button module or the voice module, enabling the washing and care machine to automatically perform self-cleaning operations on all pipelines.

[0117] The data communication module can transmit real-time data such as water temperature, water quality detection data, gas detection data, and alarm status during the operation of the washing and care machine to the cloud platform in real time.

[0118] Optionally, in one implementation of this embodiment, as Figures 5 - 8 shown,

[0119] The cabin body 8 includes:

[0120] The bottom pad 5;

[0121] The enclosure member 1, which is used to connect to the bottom pad 5 and enclose a cavity 2 with the bottom pad 5. One side of the cavity 2 has an opening 6, and the other side has a drain port 9;

[0122] Among them, the opening 6 is used to provide a breathing port position for the cavity 2, and the drain port 9 is used to provide a drain port position for the cavity 2.

[0123] In this embodiment, as Figures 6 - 8As shown, the bottom mat 5 can take various forms. For example, the bottom mat 5 can be a thin waterproof fabric, an air cushion structure, or a waterproof mat on the bed, as long as it meets the requirement that during the bathing process, water can flow along the bottom mat 5 and converge at one place for easy water collection. The bottom mat 5 can be freely moved and can be used in places such as on the bed, in the bathroom, and in the wild. Here, taking the bottom mat 5 as a waterproof mat on the bed as an example, when the user is in a state of limited mobility and lies on the waterproof mat on the bed, the enclosure member 1 can be fixed on both sides of the waterproof mat on the bed where the user lies. The two sides of the waterproof mat are higher than the middle position to prevent bath water from overflowing. The waterproof mat has a certain slope, with the side closer to the user's head being higher and the side closer to the feet being lower, so as to facilitate the collection of bath water and its drainage from the foot side. The user completes the bathing process within the cavity 2 formed by the enclosure member 1. By spraying water into the cavity 2, the user's body is sprayed. The user's head extends out through the opening 6 and is located outside the opening 6 to keep breathing smooth. The enclosure member 1 can block the upper side and the peripheral sides of the user, so that the user's privacy can be protected in all aspects. After the bathing is over, the sewage can be drained away from the drain opening 9 provided on the other side of the cavity 2. In this way, throughout the bathing process, whether during the user's position conversion or during the user's spraying process, the user's privacy can be protected in all aspects, and the psychological burden of the user can be reduced to a large extent.

[0124] By setting the bottom mat 5 and the enclosure member 1 to form the cavity 2, it enables the bath assistant to easily bathe the user, and the overall structure of the cabin 8 is simple, energy-saving, and efficient.

[0125] Optionally, in one implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figure 6 shown,

[0126] the cabin 8 further includes:

[0127] a support member 3, which is used to be arranged above the bottom mat 5 and connected to both sides of the enclosure member 1 to support the enclosure member 1;

[0128] The enclosure member 1 is made of a flexible material, and the support member 3 is designed to have the ability to deform. By deforming the support member 3, the support member 3 can be formed into a support state or a non-support state;

[0129] Wherein when the support member 3 is in the support state, the enclosure member 1 is in a tensioned state under the support of the support member 3, and the cavity 2 is defined between the tensioned enclosure member 1 and the bottom mat 5;

[0130] When the support member 3 is in the non-support state, the enclosure member 1 can lose the tensioned state due to the elimination of the support of the support member 3.

[0131] In this embodiment, as Figure 7As shown, the conversion of the support member 3 between the supported state and the non-supported state can be achieved by inflation and deflation. When the cabin 8 needs to be used, the support member 3 is inflated so that the support member 3 is in the supported state. At this time, the support member 3 has a certain supporting effect on the enclosure member 1, making the enclosure member 1 in a tensioned state and having a gap between the user in the cavity 2, and preventing the enclosure member 1 from drooping on the user. Thus, at least the upper side portion of the enclosure member 1 and the user's body have a gap, and the gap also provides a spraying space for the user. The setting of the support member 3 facilitates the direct connection of the enclosure member 1 to be used on the bed. The connection method can be bonding, zippers, buckles, etc. Without moving the user, a single person can complete the entire process of bathing the user, greatly simplifying the bathing care operation for the user. After using the cabin 8, the support member 3 is deflated to make it in the non-supported state and lose the tensioned state, facilitating the overall storage of the cabin 8.

[0132] Optionally, in an implementation manner of this embodiment, as Figures 5 - 8 shown,

[0133] One end of the bottom pad 5 close to the opening 6 is the head end 501, and one end of the bottom pad 5 close to the drain port 9 is the foot end 502. The height of the bottom pad 5 decreases from the side of the head end 501 to the side of the foot end 502.

[0134] In this embodiment, as Figures 6 - 8 shown, the setting of the bottom pad 5 provides a dedicated pad for the user to lie on during bathing. The surface of the bottom pad 5 will not be soaked in water, further improving the convenience of using the cabin 8.

[0135] The bottom pad 5 supports the user's body so that the user can lie stably in the cavity 2 for bathing. When the user lies on the bottom pad 5, the head naturally extends out of the opening 6, which is beneficial to keeping the user's breathing smooth and convenient for washing the hair separately.

[0136] Among them, the enclosure member 1 and the bottom pad 5 can be integrally connected or detachably connected. If they are integrally connected, when using the cabin 8, the opening 6 of the cabin 8 can be aligned with the user's feet to assist the user to enter the cavity 2 through the opening 6. If they are detachably connected, when using the cabin 8, the enclosure member 1 of the cabin 8 can be separated from the bottom pad 5, and the user is assisted to place the bottom pad 5 under the body, and then the enclosure member 1 is connected to the bottom pad 5.

[0137] One end of the bottom pad 5 close to the opening 6 is the head end 501, and one end of the bottom pad 5 far from the opening 6 is the foot end 502. The height of the bottom pad 5 gradually decreases from the head end 501 to the foot end 502. The above design makes the user's head relatively high and the feet relatively low when lying on the bottom pad 5, having a comfortable lying position, and the water sprayed on the user flows and converges towards the foot end 502 under the action of its own weight, facilitating the unified discharge of the water flow from the drain port 9 on the cavity 2, further improving the convenience of using the cabin 8.

[0138] Preferably, the bottom pad 5 may be made of a solid foam support, and the bottom pad 5 may have a slope ranging from 1 degree to 10 degrees.

[0139] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown,

[0140] Spray parts include:

[0141] Pipeline 7, pipeline 7 is arranged on the enclosure 1, pipeline 7 has an inlet 701 and an outlet, and the outlet is connected with the cavity 2 and faces the cavity 2;

[0142] The inlet 701 is designed to receive the water source that meets the preset conditions after being supplied by the supply module and processed by the water treatment system.

[0143] In this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, there can be multiple outlets, and the inlet 701 is set outside the enclosure 1, and the water outlets of the multiple outlets are directed into the cavity 2. Taking the pipe 7 as a spray pipe 7 as an example, the pipe of the bathing water source that meets the preset conditions after being processed by the water treatment system is connected to the inlet 701, so that the bathing water source can enter along the inlet 701 and be discharged from multiple outlets through the pipe 7, so as to spray on both sides of the user's body, so as to achieve a comprehensive spraying of the user inside the cavity 2. Specifically, if the user is lying on his back on the bottom pad 5, the spraying direction can be the positions on both sides of the user's chest, and if the user is lying on his stomach on the bottom pad 5, the spraying direction can be the positions on both sides of the user's back.

[0144] Optionally, in an implementation of this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown,

[0145] The pipeline 7 includes a main pipe 703 and a plurality of branch pipes, and the plurality of branch pipes and the inlet 701 are all connected to the main pipe 703;

[0146] There are multiple outlets, which are separately opened on each branch pipe, and the multiple outlets face different positions of the cavity 2.

[0147] The plurality of branch pipes include a first branch pipe 704, a second branch pipe 705 and a third branch pipe 706, and the first branch pipe 704, the second branch pipe 705 and the third branch pipe 706 are all connected to the main pipe 703;

[0148] The inlet 701 is connected to the main pipe 703, and a plurality of outlets are provided, and the plurality of outlets are spaced apart and arranged on the first branch pipe 704, the second branch pipe 705, and the second branch pipe 705;

[0149] The first branch pipe 704, the second branch pipe 705, and the third branch pipe 706 all extend along the length direction of the cabin body 8 and are spaced apart on the enclosure member 1.

[0150] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 shown, the bathing water supply pipe is connected to the inlet 701, water flows in along the inlet 701, through the main pipe 703, through the first branch pipe 704, the second branch pipe 705, and the third branch pipe 706, and finally is discharged from multiple outlets, spraying on the middle and both sides of the user's body, realizing comprehensive spraying on the inner side of the cavity 2 for the user. If the user is lying supine on the bottom cushion 5, the spraying direction is the middle and both sides of the user's chest; if the user is lying prone on the bottom cushion 5, the spraying direction is the middle and both sides of the user's back. With this design of the spraying pipeline 7, the spraying water can relatively comprehensively cover the user, and the spraying direction is gentle, increasing the comfort of bathing. The overall designed shape of the spraying pipeline 7 can also be in the shape of surrounding the user's body to further comprehensively spray the user.

[0151] The pipeline 7 can be connected to fluids other than the water source, such as a medicine source, etc., so that the cabin body 8 can provide services such as medicated bath fumigation for the user.

[0152] In summary, the ingenious concept of the washing and care machine lies in:

[0153] First, by designing the connection relationship between the water treatment system, the cabin body, and the spraying member, the washing and care machine can realize a highly automated bathing operation from water inlet to water drainage, enabling the user to start bathing simply by entering the cabin body, without the need for the user to perform cumbersome pre-bathing preparation work, nor large-scale lifting and moving operations on the user, thus significantly reducing the risk of injury to the user during the movement process and further enhancing the user experience.

[0154] Second, by presetting the temperature range and the preset water quality cleanliness range, it can ensure that the temperature, water quality, and other indicators of the bathing water source sprayed into the cabin body meet the bathing requirements, making the user feel comfortable while reducing the risk of affecting the user's physical health and further enhancing the user's experience.

[0155] Third, by setting a preheating module to preheat the initial water source, the washing and care machine can ensure that the initial water source is within the preset temperature range with relatively low power consumption, thus taking into account both the comfort and energy consumption control of the washing and care machine.

[0156] Fourth, by setting a water supply module, a diversion module, a drainage module, a filtration module, a water quality monitoring module, etc., the water treatment system can automatically supply water to the cabin body in a cycle without manual operation by the user on the premise of ensuring good water quality of the bathing water source, and automatically drain the water from the cabin body after the user finishes bathing, saving the time for the user to clean the cabin body.

[0157] It can be further understood that in the present disclosure, "a plurality of" means two or more, and other quantifiers are similar thereto. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.
