In addition, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention, a control method for a foot bath is provided.

[0075] Before introducing the control method of the foot bath basin according to the embodiments of the present invention, it is first necessary to explain the application scenarios of the control method of the foot bath basin. The control method of the foot bath basin of the present invention can be applied to various types of foot bath basins, and can also be applied to intelligent terminals such as smart phones, tablets, and computers. At the same time, it can also be applied to a server connected to the foot bath basin. The present invention does not make special limitations on the application scenarios, as long as it can carry and implement the control method of the foot bath basin.

[0076] The following takes the foot bath basin as the execution subject to illustrate the control method of the foot bath basin according to the embodiments of the present invention. For the structure of the foot bath basin, please refer to Figure 1 , which includes a water storage cavity 20 and a plurality of sensors 10 distributed along the height direction of the foot bath basin. The user manually fills the water storage cavity 20 with water or the foot bath basin is automatically filled with water through a connected water pipe. The actual water level in the water storage cavity 20 continuously rises. When the actual water level reaches the target water level (each sensor corresponds to a different target water level), the foot bath basin sends a prompt message to the user.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 2 , according to the control method of the foot bath basin according to the embodiments of the present invention, it includes step 100 to step 300.

[0078] Step 100: Obtain the target working mode of the foot bath basin. Among them, the foot bath basin includes at least two different preset working modes, and the target working mode is one of the preset working modes. For example, the preset modes of the foot bath basin can include: ordinary foot soaking mode, massage mode, hydrotherapy mode, etc. For different preset modes, the foot bath basin controls different function modules to work accordingly. For example, the ordinary foot soaking mode controls the heating module to heat, the massage mode controls the massage module to massage, and the hydrotherapy mode controls the essential oil injection module to inject essential oil, etc. Of course, the types of function modules in the foot bath basin are not limited by the examples here, and thus the preset modes of the foot bath basin are not limited by the examples listed here.

[0079] Correspondingly, the working parameters corresponding to different preset working modes are different. The working parameters include the target water level, target water temperature, etc. For example, in the ordinary foot soaking mode, the target water level is generally slightly higher than the ankle to ensure that the user's feet can be completely immersed in the water to provide a good foot soaking effect; in the massage mode, the target water level is generally slightly lower than the ankle to ensure that during the process of massaging the sole of the foot, the water level in the foot bath basin will not overflow under the influence of the massage module; in the hydrotherapy mode, the target water level usually reaches near the knee of the leg, so that the entire leg is immersed in the water added with herbs, petals, essential oils or minerals, etc., and is fully recuperated.

[0080] The above are the preset modes that come with the foot bath when it leaves the factory. Users can also input on their own to combine the functions of different functional modules to form user-defined preset modes. For example, combine the massage module and the essential oil injection module, combine the heating module and the essential oil injection module, etc., so as to meet the usage needs of different users.

[0081] Moreover, users can also modify some of the working parameters corresponding to the preset modes on the basis of the preset modes that come with the foot bath when it leaves the factory to form user-defined preset modes. For example, the ankle heights of different users are different. On the basis of the ordinary foot soaking mode, users can adjust the target water level separately to ensure that the water level in the foot bath just covers the ankles. Similarly, since the temperature tolerances of different users are different, the target water temperature can also be adjusted accordingly, so as to meet the usage needs of different users.

[0082] Step 200: Based on the target working mode, determine the target water level of the foot bath. The foot bath corresponds to at least two different target water levels.

[0083] After the user determines the target working mode, the foot bath correspondingly obtains the working parameters corresponding to the target working mode. The working parameters include the target water level of the foot bath. For example: in the ordinary foot soaking mode, the target water level can be between 15 and 20 centimeters; in the massage mode, the target water level can be between 10 and 15 centimeters; in the hydrotherapy mode, the target water level can be between 20 and 25 centimeters.

[0084] In one embodiment, the working parameters of the target working mode further include the target water temperature. In the ordinary foot soaking mode, the target water temperature is generally between 37 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius to relax and soothe the feet; in the massage mode, the target water temperature can be between 15 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius, mainly used to relieve fatigue, soothe pain and improve blood circulation; in the hydrotherapy mode, the target water level is between 40 degrees Celsius and 45 degrees Celsius, promoting blood circulation, relaxing muscles and the absorption of Chinese herbal medicines, flower petals, essential oils or minerals in the foot bath water, strengthening the hydrotherapy effect. The above temperature ranges are only general guidelines and are not specific limitations on the target temperature range of this application. Users can adjust according to actual usage needs.

[0085] Step 300: Determine that the actual water level of the foot bath reaches the target water level and send a prompt message.

[0086] When the actual water level in the foot bath reaches the target water level, the foot bath sends a prompt message to the user. Among them, the prompt message can be in the form of different sounds, images, lights, as long as there is a clear distinction between the actual water level reaching the target water level and not reaching the target water level; the foot bath can also be combined with a smart terminal to directly send the prompt message to the user's smart terminal, facilitating the user to receive the prompt message remotely.

[0087] The control method of the foot bath according to the present invention determines different target water levels based on different target working modes of the foot bath, effectively avoiding water waste; and when the actual water level of the foot bath reaches the target water level, it prompts the user, avoiding the problem that the user needs to observe the water level height multiple times and has a poor user experience.

[0088] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step 100 includes:

[0089] Step 110, obtaining the target working mode based on the user's selection information.

[0090] The selection information refers to that the user selects a preset working mode as the target working mode through the interaction interface (such as a touch screen) of the foot bath or a smart terminal (such as a mobile phone), etc. Among them, the preset working mode, as mentioned above, can be the one that comes with the foot bath when it leaves the factory or a preset mode defined by the user. Of course, the selection information can also include that after the user selects the preset working mode, selectively adjusting the working parameters of the preset working mode to form a target working mode suitable for meeting the current user's needs.

[0091] In one embodiment, when the foot bath is powered on and no selection information is received by the foot bath after a preset duration, the target working mode is determined according to the system default settings. Among them, the system default settings can be to default to start the ordinary foot soaking mode, or the foot bath, based on the target working mode used by the user last time, takes the previous target working mode as the default target working mode. This can effectively avoid the problems that the user forgets to input the selection information, resulting in the foot bath staying in standby for a long time and consuming power, and the functional modules in the foot bath cannot be started based on the working parameters, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0092] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step 200 includes:

[0093] Step 210, determining that the target working mode is the ordinary foot soaking mode and determining that the target water level is the first target water level. The first target water level can be between 15 and 20 centimeters.

[0094] In one embodiment, determining that the target working mode is the massage mode and determining that the target water level is the second target water level; the second target water level can be between 10 and 15 centimeters.

[0095] The first target water level is greater than the second target water level. To ensure that during the process of massaging the soles of the feet, the water in the foot bath will not overflow even with the water level fluctuating under the influence of the massage module.

[0096] In one embodiment, the target working mode is determined to be the spa mode, and the target water level is determined to be the third target water level; at this time, a medicine bag detector can be set in the foot bath basin, which is suitable for detecting different medicine bags, so as to adopt different third target water levels and target water temperatures, and cooperate with the massage module for massage.

[0097] For example, a soothing foot bath bag contains some analgesic and relaxing ingredients and is suitable for kneading massage in cooperation with the massage module. After soaking in water reaching the target water temperature, using kneading massage can help the herbal ingredients better penetrate into the skin and muscle tissues, thus enhancing the analgesic and relaxing effects; a herbal foot bath bag usually contains some herbal extracts or herbal ingredients and is suitable for pushing and rubbing massage in cooperation with the massage module. Among them, the working power of the massage module during pushing and rubbing massage is greater than that during kneading massage, which helps the herbal ingredients better penetrate into the skin and meridians, playing the role of regulating meridians and relieving fatigue; a heat-clearing and detoxifying foot bath bag contains some ingredients with the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying and is suitable for tapping massage in cooperation with the massage module. Gently tapping the feet can stimulate acupoints, promote blood circulation, and help the heat-clearing and detoxifying ingredients better play their roles; a nourishing foot bath bag may be rich in some nourishing and moisturizing ingredients and is suitable for friction massage in cooperation with the massage module, helping the nourishing ingredients better penetrate to the skin surface, playing the role of nourishing and moisturizing.

[0098] According to an embodiment of the present invention, step 300 includes:

[0099] Step 310, based on the target water level, select the sensor in the foot bath basin corresponding to the current target water level; wherein, sensors are provided in the foot bath basin corresponding to different target water levels.

[0100] Step 320, send a prompt message based on the induction signal sent by the selected sensor.

[0101] In one embodiment, when multiple sensors are powered on simultaneously and can all send induction signals, when the sensor corresponding to the current target water level is not selected, even if the water level reaches the position of the sensor and the sensor sends an induction signal, the foot bath basin will not send a prompt message based on the induction signal. Taking the red light turning on and off as an example of the prompt message, after the user selects the target working mode, the foot bath basin determines the target water level and selects the corresponding sensor. Only when the selected sensor sends an induction signal, the foot bath basin will control the red light to turn off to prompt the user that the actual water level has reached the target water level. At this time, the prompt function is realized based on the sensor being selected and the induction signal sent by the selected sensor together.

[0102] Among them, since multiple sensors can emit induction signals, corresponding prompt information can be set for the induction signals of each sensor. Taking each sensor corresponding to a green light as an example, as the actual water level gradually rises, the sensor on the side of the bottom of the foot bath basin detects the water level first and emits an induction signal, and the corresponding green light lights up until the actual water level reaches the sensor corresponding to the target water level, and the red light turns off; users can understand the height of the actual water level through the lighting of the green light, which is beneficial for users to control the amount of water injection when manually injecting water or to understand the water injection progress when the foot bath basin automatically injects water.

[0103] In one embodiment, only the selected sensors are powered on and can emit induction signals, and the remaining unselected sensors are powered off. Even if the water level reaches the position of the sensor, the sensor does not emit an induction signal. Taking the lighting and turning off of the red light as an example of prompt information, only when the selected sensor emits an induction signal, the foot bath basin will control the red light to turn off to prompt the user that the actual water level has reached the target water level. At this time, the prompt function is realized based on the power-on of the selected sensor and the induction signal of the powered-on sensor. The sensors other than the selected sensors do not consume power, effectively reducing the use cost of the foot bath basin.

[0104] Of course, the prompt information in this application is not limited to the turning off of the red light, which has been listed above and will not be elaborated here.

[0105] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the foot bath basin further includes:

[0106] Step 400: Determine the target water temperature of the foot bath basin based on the target working mode.

[0107] In one embodiment, the control method of the foot bath basin further includes:

[0108] Step 500: Control the power of the temperature adjustment module of the foot bath basin based on the target water temperature and the target water level.

[0109] The target water levels in different target working modes are different, that is, the amounts of water to be heated or cooled are different, and the target water temperatures to be reached are also different. For example, in the ordinary foot soaking mode, the water at a water level of 15 to 20 cm needs to be heated to between 37 and 40 °C; while in the hydrotherapy mode, the water at a water level of 20 to 25 cm needs to be heated to between 40 and 45 °C. Therefore, the power of the temperature adjustment module needs to be changed accordingly to control the time for the water volume reaching the target water level in different target working modes to reach the target water temperature, so as to meet the user's usage habits and improve the user experience.

[0110] In one embodiment, step 500 includes:

[0111] Control the power of the temperature adjustment module of the foot bath basin based on the initial water temperature and the target water temperature in the foot bath basin.

[0112] The water injected by the user into the foot bath basin has different initial water temperatures due to factors such as the environmental temperature and water source during injection. For example, when the user takes water from the morning water pipe and the afternoon water pipe, the initial water temperatures are different due to the different environmental temperatures; or when the user takes water from the water pipe and the thermos flask, the initial water temperatures are also different. The temperature differences required for water with different initial water temperatures to reach the target water temperature are different. Therefore, the power of the temperature adjustment module needs to be changed accordingly to control the time for water with different initial water temperatures to reach the target water temperature to be consistent, so as to meet the user's usage habits and improve the user experience.

[0113] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the initial water temperature is higher than the target water temperature, the refrigeration module of the foot bath basin is controlled to cool the water in the foot bath basin. For example, when the user injects hot water from a thermos flask into the foot bath basin and the hot water temperature is higher than the first target water temperature corresponding to the normal foot soaking mode, the foot bath basin controls the refrigeration module to start, reducing the time required for the hot water to cool to the first target water temperature.

[0114] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the initial water temperature is lower than the target water temperature, the heating module of the foot bath basin is controlled to heat the water in the foot bath basin. For example, when the user injects normal temperature water (25 degrees Celsius) into the foot bath basin and the water temperature of the normal temperature water is lower than the first target water temperature corresponding to the normal foot soaking mode, the foot bath basin controls the heating module to start and heat the normal temperature water to the first target water temperature.

[0115] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control method of the foot bath basin further includes:

[0116] Determine that the actual water level of the foot bath basin reaches the warning water level and send a prompt message.

[0117] When the actual water level in the foot bath basin reaches the warning water level, if the user puts their feet into the foot bath basin, it will cause the water to overflow from the foot bath basin. The foot bath basin sends a prompt message to the user, reminding the user that the actual water level exceeds the warning water level and the water in the foot bath basin needs to be drained to avoid the problem of difficult cleaning caused by water overflowing from the foot bath basin during the user's use of the foot bath basin. The prompt message can be in the form of different sounds, images, or lights, as long as there is a clear distinction between when the actual water level reaches the warning water level and when it does not; the foot bath basin can also be combined with a smart terminal to directly send the prompt message to the user's smart terminal, facilitating the user to receive the prompt message remotely.

[0118] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a control device for a foot bath tub. The control device for the foot bath tub and the control method for the foot bath tub mentioned above can be correspondingly referred to each other. That is, the content of the embodiments of the first aspect can be used to explain the content of the embodiments of the second aspect, so no repeated limitations are made. Similarly, the content of the embodiments of the first aspect and the content of the embodiments of the second aspect of the present invention can be used to explain the content of all subsequent embodiments, so the repeated content in the subsequent embodiments will not be elaborated.

[0119] For the control device of the foot bath tub according to an embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 3 , which includes an acquisition module, a control module, and a prompt module. Among them, the acquisition module is used to acquire the target working mode of the foot bath tub. The foot bath tub includes at least two different preset working modes, and the target working mode is one of the preset working modes; the control module is used to determine the target water level of the foot bath tub based on the target working mode. The foot bath tub corresponds to at least two different target water levels; the prompt module is used to determine that the actual water level of the foot bath tub reaches the target water level and send a prompt message.

[0120] In one embodiment, the acquisition module is used to acquire the target working mode based on the user's selection information, or, the control module further includes a timing module, which is used to determine that the foot bath tub is powered on and, if no selection information is received within a preset duration after power-on, determine the target working mode according to the system default settings.

[0121] In one embodiment, the control module is used to determine that the target working mode is the ordinary foot soaking mode and determine that the target water level is the first target water level, or, the control module is used to determine that the target working mode is the massage mode and determine that the target water level is the second target water level.

[0122] In one embodiment, the control module is used to select the sensor corresponding to the current target water level in the foot bath tub based on the target water level; the prompt module is used to send a prompt message based on the induction signal emitted by the selected sensor.

[0123] In one embodiment, the control module is used to determine the target water temperature of the foot bath tub based on the target working mode.

[0124] In one embodiment, the control module further includes a temperature detection module, which is used to control the temperature adjustment module of the foot bath tub based on the initial water temperature and the target water temperature in the foot bath tub.

[0125] In one embodiment, the control module is used to determine that the initial water temperature is higher than the target water temperature and control the refrigeration module of the foot bath tub to cool the water in the foot bath tub; or, it is used to determine that the initial water temperature is lower than the target water temperature and control the heating module of the foot bath tub to heat the water in the foot bath tub.

[0126] According to an embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention, a foot bath tub is provided. Please refer to Figure 1 as shown, which includes: a plurality of sensors 10, a prompting component, and a controller. The plurality of sensors 10 are distributed along the height of the foot bath tub, and the heights of different sensors 10 correspond to the target water levels in different preset working modes of the foot bath tub; the prompting component is used to determine that the actual water level of the foot bath tub reaches the target water level and send a prompt message; the controller is connected to the sensors 10 and the prompting component and is used to execute the control method of the foot bath tub in the above embodiment.

[0127] Among them, the sensor 10 can be a Hall induction plate 11. A water storage cavity 20 is arranged in the foot bath tub, and a pipe column 30 is arranged along the height direction of the water storage cavity 20 and communicated with the bottom of the water storage cavity 20. A float 12 is arranged in the pipe column 30, and a magnet 13 is arranged on the float 12. Due to the principle of communicating vessels, the water level in the pipe column 30 is the same as the actual water level in the water storage cavity 20. The float 12 floats on the water surface in the pipe column 30 and has the same height as the actual water level in the water storage cavity 20. A plurality of Hall induction plates 11 are arranged on the side wall of the pipe column 30. When the float 12 reaches the position of the Hall induction plate 11, the Hall induction plate 11 senses the magnetic field change caused by the magnet 13 and emits an induction signal. When this Hall induction plate 11 simultaneously meets the selected conditions based on the target water level, the foot bath tub sends a prompt message.

[0128] In other embodiments, a pressure sensor or an ultrasonic sensor or other sensors suitable for detecting the water level height can also be used.

[0129] In one embodiment, the prompting component is a display. Information such as the actual water level, target water level, actual water temperature, and target water temperature in the foot bath tub is presented in the display in the form of text, color, symbols, etc., which is convenient for the user to view.

[0130] In one embodiment, the prompting component is a lamp. The induction signal emitted by the sensor 10 can be used as the determination condition for the lamp to be turned on or off according to whether the actual water level reaches the target water level. The lighting of the lamp represents that the actual water level reaches the target water level, and the turning off of the lamp represents that the target water level has not been reached.

[0131] In one embodiment, the prompting component is a voice player, which can transmit the height of the actual water level and whether the target water level is reached to the user in the form of voice broadcast. For example, when the actual water level reaches the target water level, it broadcasts "Water injection completed", etc., without the user having to visually observe the foot bath tub, improving the user experience.

[0132] In one embodiment, the foot bath tub includes an input component, and the controller is connected to the input component and is used to determine the selection information of the target working mode based on the user's input action.

[0133] The input component can be arranged on the control panel of the foot bath. The user inputs selection information into the controller through the input component. For example, the input component can be an input button, and multiple input buttons correspond to the preset number of working modes. The user selects a preset working mode as the target working mode through an input action (pressing the input button). Of course, the input component can also be a touchpad, etc., and multiple options can be adjusted and set correspondingly to the preset working modes.

[0134] In one embodiment, the foot bath includes a temperature sensor for detecting the initial water temperature in the foot bath. The controller is connected to the temperature sensor, and in response to the initial water temperature being higher than the target water temperature, the controller controls the refrigeration module of the foot bath to cool the water in the foot bath; when the initial water temperature is lower than the target water temperature, the controller controls the heating module of the foot bath to heat the water in the foot bath.
