Detailed implementation manners

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of a foot bath in this embodiment; Figure 2It is an exploded view of the structure of a foot bath in this embodiment; as shown in the figure, the foot bath includes: a base 100; a main cavity 200, fixed to the upper end of the base 100, the bottom plate 220 of the main cavity 200 and the base 100 enclose an installation space, and a water inlet pipe 210 is connected to the main cavity 200; a heating cavity 300, arranged in the main cavity 200, and a medicine box is arranged in the heating cavity 300; a heating component 600, fixed to the bottom plate 220, and the heating component 600 is communicated with the heating cavity 300; a temperature control unit is arranged in the heating component 600; a pump 400 capable of flowing reversely, arranged in the installation space, the pump 400 is respectively connected to the main cavity 200 and the heating cavity 300, and the pump 400 is used to pump the water in the heating cavity 300 into the main cavity 200; a controller, respectively connected to the heating component 600 and the pump 400; wherein, the water in the main cavity 200 flows into the heating cavity 300 through the pump 400, after the heating component 600 is driven by the controller to heat the water in the heating cavity 300 for a specified time, then the pump 400 is driven by the controller to pump the formed medicinal liquid in the heated heating cavity 300 into the main cavity 200. By setting the structure between the main cavity 200, the pump 400 and the heating cavity 300 to be similar to a U-shaped tube, the water in the main cavity 200 flows into the heating cavity 300 according to the water level difference, and the water in the heating cavity 300 is separately heated to a higher temperature by the heating component 600, ensuring that the drugs in the medicine box 310 fully exert their medicinal and physiotherapy effects. The formed medicinal liquid in the heated heating cavity 300 is pumped into the main cavity 200 by the pump 400 and fully mixed with the water in the main cavity 200; cycle the above work until the water temperature in the heating cavity 300 reaches the specified temperature; it is convenient for users to have a foot bath in the foot bath water with appropriate water temperature and the drugs fully exert their pharmacological effects, improving the user experience and ensuring the physiotherapy effect of the foot bath; at the same time, the heating component 600 is not arranged directly below the main cavity 200, ensuring the safety of users.

[0028] Further, one end of the water inlet pipe 210 is communicated with the main cavity 200, the other end of the water inlet pipe 210 passes through the base 100 and is connected to an external water source, and an end cover is arranged at the other end of the water inlet pipe 210.

[0029] Further, the foot bath further includes an upper cover 500, the upper cover 500 is connected to the upper end of the main cavity 200, and a cover plate 510 is hinged on the upper cover 500. When in use, the cover plate 510 is opened and the feet are stretched in.

[0030] Preferably, a temperature control switch 520 is further provided on the upper cover 500. The temperature control switch 520 is connected to the controller. The temperature control switch 520 is used to adjust the heating temperature of the heating component 600, and the adjustment range of the heating temperature is 60°C to 100°C. Research shows that for commonly used herbs such as mugwort and safflower in foot bath medicine bags, when continuously heated above 80°C for 10 minutes, the dissolution rate of active ingredients is significantly higher than that of conventional soaking. Therefore, using the heating cavity 300 in this application can fully exert the efficacy of the medicine bag.

[0031] See Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of opening the upper cover of a foot bath device in this embodiment.

[0032] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the volume ratio of the heating cavity 300 to the main cavity 200 is 1:8 to 1:5. Since the water in the main cavity 200 flows into the heating cavity 300 through the connecting component, when the first water pump 410 and the second water pump 420 are not turned on, the liquid level height in the heating cavity 300 is the same as that in the main cavity 200; it can ensure that 1 / 8 to 1 / 5 of the total water volume in the cavity is heated to make the medicinal liquid each time, and ensure that the medicinal liquid is fully mixed with the water after entering the main cavity 200.

[0033] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 is a schematic connection diagram of the heating component and the heating cavity of a foot bath device in this embodiment; Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the main cavity of a foot bath device in this embodiment.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the heating component 600 includes: a heating tube 610 disposed in the installation groove 221 of the bottom plate 220; a heating plate 620 fixed to the upper end of the installation groove 221. The heating plate 620 extends into the main cavity, and the heating cavity sleeve 300 is disposed on the heating plate 620.

[0035] Preferably, the heating cavity 300 is detachably sleeved on the heating plate 620, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance.

[0036] Preferably, the heating tube 610 is an electromagnetic heating tube 610, and the electromagnetic heating tube 610 is connected to the controller.

[0037] Further, in this embodiment, the temperature control unit is a first temperature sensor 630 disposed in the installation groove 221. The temperature sensor is signal-connected to the controller. The temperature sensor transmits the heating temperature of the heating tube 610 to the controller, and the controller then controls the heating power of the heating tube 610 to control the temperature, enabling precise regulation of the heating temperature in the heating chamber 300 and ensuring the heating effect of the liquid medicine.

[0038] See Figure 2 , further, in this embodiment, a filter screen 310 is provided in the heating chamber 300. The medicine box is a placement space formed by enclosing the filter screen 310, the heating chamber 300, and the installation groove. A medicine bag is placed in the placement space; this enables the heating tube 610 to directly transfer heat to the foot bath medicine bag, facilitating the timely efficacy of the foot bath medicine bag.

[0039] In other embodiments, the medicine box can also be set as a box body, and the medicine box is snap-connected to the heating plate 620; the medicine box 310 contains a foot bath medicine bag.

[0040] See Figure 2 , further, in this embodiment, a water level sensor 700 is provided in the main cavity 200. The water level sensor 700 is connected to the controller. The water level sensor 700 is disposed on the side wall of the main cavity 200. When the water level in the main cavity 200 is lower than the water level sensor, the water level sensor 700 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller drives the heating tube 610 to stop heating, which can prevent equipment damage caused by the heating tube 610 heating when the water level is low.

[0041] See Figure 3 , further, in this embodiment, a second temperature sensor 800 is provided in the main cavity 200. The temperature sensor is connected to the controller; the second temperature sensor 800 is used to sense the temperature of the water in the main cavity 200.

[0042] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 is one of the partial structural schematic diagrams in the installation space of a foot bath device in this embodiment; Figure 7 is the second partial structural schematic diagram of a foot bath device in this embodiment.

[0043] Further, in this embodiment, the water pump 400 is fixed to the lower end of the bottom plate 220. The water pump 400 is connected to the heating chamber 300 through a first connecting pipe 410, and the water pump 400 is connected to the main cavity 200 through at least one second connecting pipe 420.

[0044] Preferably, there are two second connecting pipes 420, which can accelerate the water inlet and outlet speeds; by entering the main cavity 200 from different positions through the two second connecting pipes 420 respectively, the mixing of the liquid medicine and the water in the main cavity 200 can be accelerated.

[0045] Preferably, the water pump 400 is a centrifugal pump or an axial flow pump without a check valve. In other embodiments, a reversible pump can also be selected for the water pump 400 for bidirectional transportation.

[0046] In other embodiments, two interconnected water pumps 400 can be provided at the lower end of the bottom plate 220, and the two water pumps 400 are respectively connected to the heating cavity 300 and the main cavity 200 to improve the pumping speed of the foot bath.

[0047] See Figure 2 and Figure 8 , Figure 8 is an exploded view of the structure of a massage component of a foot bath in this embodiment.

[0048] Further, in this embodiment, the foot bath further includes a massage component 900. The massage component 900 includes a driving unit 910 and a massage unit 920. The driving unit 910 is fixed to the lower end of the bottom plate 220, the massage unit 920 is fixed to the upper end of the bottom plate 220, and the massage unit 920 is connected to the power output end of the driving unit 910.

[0049] See Figure 3 and Figure 8 , specifically, the driving unit 910 includes: a driving motor 911 fixed to the lower end of the lower mounting bottom plate 220, and a worm is connected to the power output end of the driving motor 911; a transmission gear 912 rotatably arranged below the bottom plate 220 through a mounting seat 913, and the transmission gear 912 meshes with the worm; a transmission shaft is connected to the middle of the transmission gear 912, and the transmission shaft extends above the bottom plate 220. The massage unit 920 includes: a gear box 921 fixed in a mounting groove 221 above the bottom plate 220; the transmission shaft passes through the bottom plate 220 and is connected to a main gear 9211 in the gear box 921, and the main gear 9211 meshes with a plurality of driven gears 9212 respectively; a plurality of massage members 922 are respectively connected to the driven gears 9212 through driven shafts. When in use, the driving motor 911 drives the transmission gear 912 to rotate, drives the main gear 9211 in the gear box 921 to rotate, and then drives each driven gear 9212 to rotate through the main gear 9211, so that the massage members 922 on each driven gear 9212 perform rotational massage.

[0050] Preferably, the worm gear and the transmission gear 912 are connected by helical teeth. During the meshing process, the helical teeth come into contact gradually instead of the instantaneous full-tooth contact of spur gears, reducing impact and vibration, making the operation smoother and also reducing the noise of the foot bath device.

[0051] See Figure 9 , Figure 9 which is the bottom view of a foot bath device in this embodiment.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two direct drive wheels 111 and two universal wheels 112 are provided on the base 100, facilitating the movement of the foot bath device. A locking switch is provided on the universal wheel 112.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a heating method for a foot bath device is provided, including the following steps:

[0054] S1: Water enters the main cavity 200 through the water inlet pipe 210. When the water in the main cavity 200 reaches the specified water level, the water inlet pipe 210 is closed;

[0055] S2: The water in the main cavity 200 sequentially enters the heating cavity 300 through the water pump 400, and the heating tube 610 is driven by the controller to heat the water in the heating cavity 300 for ten minutes;

[0056] S3: The controller drives the water pump 400 to work for one minute to pump the liquid medicine formed after heating into the main cavity 200, and mix it fully with the water in the main cavity 200;

[0057] S4: Repeat S2 and S3 until the second temperature sensor 800 senses that the water temperature in the main cavity 200 reaches the specified temperature, and the heating is completed; at this time, the drive motor 911 works to drive the massage member 922 to start rotating, and the user can start the foot bath.

[0058] As can be seen from the above, in a foot bath device of the present invention, by setting a structure similar to a U-shaped tube among the main cavity, the water pump and the heating cavity, the water in the main cavity flows into the heating cavity according to the water level difference, and the water in the heating cavity is separately heated to a higher temperature by the heating assembly, ensuring that the drugs in the medicine box fully exert their medicinal and physiotherapy effects. The liquid medicine formed after heating in the heating cavity is pumped into the main cavity by the water pump and mixed fully with the water in the main cavity; repeat the above operations until the water temperature in the heating cavity reaches the specified temperature; it is convenient for the user to take a foot bath in the water with a suitable water temperature and the drugs fully exert their pharmacological effects, improving the user experience and ensuring the physiotherapy effect of the foot bath device; at the same time, the heating assembly is not arranged directly below the main cavity, ensuring the safety of the user.

[0059] The above are the preferred embodiments of the present invention.
