Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of foot baths, and in particular to a foot bath device and its water circulation system. Background Technology

[0002] In today's fast-paced life, people face immense work pressure and life burdens, leading to increasing attention to their health. The feet, often referred to as the "second heart" of the body, contain numerous acupoints and nerve endings. Foot baths can effectively promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue, and improve sleep quality. Therefore, foot bath devices, as a convenient foot care device, are gradually becoming a common household item.

[0003] Foot baths typically consist of a main body containing a foot bath chamber to hold water and the user's feet. To treat the water within the foot bath chamber, many foot baths are equipped with a water circulation system. This system usually uses a water flow generator to drive the water flow through the foot bath chamber, thus purifying the water.

[0004] However, the water treatment device in the water circulation system is mostly integrated at the bottom of the foot bath chamber. This installation location requires users to bend over or turn the device over for daily maintenance, significantly increasing the difficulty of cleaning. Especially when the water treatment device needs to be replaced or sediment needs to be removed, the accessibility defects of the bottom layout become even more apparent, affecting both ease of use and potential hygiene hazards due to incomplete cleaning.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0024] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or it can be connected to a component in between. When a component is said to be "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or it may be set to a component in between.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 16 As shown, this application provides a water circulation system 30 for a foot bath 100, which is configured to circulate water between the foot bath cavity 11 and the cover 20 of the foot bath 100, and to perform water treatment during the water circulation process. The cover 20 covers the foot bath cavity 11. The water circulation system 30 includes a water outlet component 36, a circulation pipe 31, and a water flow generator 32. The water outlet component 36 is disposed on the cover 20 and has a water outlet 36 for water to be discharged from the foot bath cavity 11. 2; The circulation pipe 31 is configured to extend from the foot bath cavity 11 to the water outlet component 36 to construct a water flow path between the water outlet 362 and the foot bath cavity 11; the water flow generator 32 is used to drive the water flow between the foot bath cavity 11 and the water outlet 362; wherein, a water treatment device 35 is disposed on the cover 20, and the water treatment device 35 is connected to a downstream position on the circulation pipe 31 closer to the water outlet 362, so that the water flow is treated and then flows back into the foot bath cavity 11.

[0027] The water circulation system 30 of the foot bath 100 drives water flow through a water flow generator 32 to form a directional circulation between the foot bath chamber 11 and the water outlet 362. Specifically, the water flow generator 32 transports water from the foot bath chamber 11 upward through the circulation pipe 31, and then returns to the foot bath chamber 11 through the water outlet 362 of the water outlet component 36, forming a continuous circulation. Before passing through the water outlet 362, the water flows through a water treatment device 35 and is treated by the water treatment device 35.

[0028] The water treatment device 35 is integrated into the cover 20, allowing users to quickly maintain it by directly removing the cover 20 without bending over or flipping the device. This significantly simplifies the cleaning, filter replacement, and sediment removal process. This layout completely solves the accessibility issues caused by traditional bottom-mounted installations, reduces cleaning difficulty, avoids hygiene hazards caused by incomplete cleaning, and extends the device's lifespan. Furthermore, the water outlet 362, located on the cover 20, ensures that the water flow is within the user's line of sight as it falls back into the foot bath chamber 11. Users can directly observe the water flow and treatment effect; this visual design not only enhances the user's trust in the water treatment function but also improves the sensory experience of the foot bath process through dynamic water flow effects, strengthening the product's technological sophistication and user-friendly design.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 2 as well as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the water outlet component 36 is detachably mounted on the cover 20 to allow for cleaning and replacement with different types of water outlet components 36. The water outlet 362 of the water outlet component 36 is located above the liquid level indicator 2440 inside the foot bath cavity 11. The high-level water outlet 362 creates a continuous waterfall flow, enhancing vertical convection and promoting the diffusion of heat and medicinal liquid within the foot bath cavity 11. The distance between the water outlet 362 and the liquid level indicator 2440 inside the foot bath cavity 11 is at least 2 cm. The water outlet 362 has a strip-shaped structure. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the water outlet 362 may be a plurality of horizontally spaced circular holes.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 2 as well as Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the cover 20 has a sliding groove 21, and the water outlet component 36 is slidably inserted into or removed from the sliding groove 21 to facilitate replacement of the water outlet component 36. At least a portion of the water outlet component 36 is embedded in the sliding groove 21 and is detachably connected to the sliding groove 21. The water outlet component 36 is fixed to the cover 20 by a magnetic attraction structure, a snap-fit ​​structure, or screws to prevent the water outlet component 36 from separating from the sliding groove 21. Specifically, the water outlet component 36 is provided with a first magnetic attraction member 363, and the inner wall of the sliding groove 21 is provided with a second magnetic attraction member 22 that can attract and engage with the first magnetic attraction member 363; when the water outlet component 36 is assembled into the sliding groove 21, the first magnetic attraction member 363 and the second magnetic attraction member 22 attract and engage to fix the water outlet component 36 within the sliding groove 21.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 10 As shown, the circulation pipe 31 includes a flexible hose section, which facilitates flexible wiring inside the foot bath 100 to adapt to different installation angles and is also easy to connect with various interfaces to reduce installation difficulty.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 9 As shown, the water flow generator 32 is used to drive water, causing it to circulate within the foot bath cavity 11 and the circulation pipe 31. The water flow generator 32 includes a housing 322, a circulation paddle 321, and a motor 61. The housing 322 is fixed to the body 10 of the foot bath 100 and has a pump chamber 3221 and an inlet 3222 communicating with the pump chamber 3221. The circulation paddle 321 is disposed within the pump chamber 3221. The motor 61 is configured to drive the circulation paddle 321 to rotate around a fixed axis. The circulation paddle 321 drives the liquid in the foot bath cavity 11 to enter the pump chamber 3221 through the inlet 3222, and then into the circulation pipe 31. The housing 322 can be fixed to the bottom of the foot bath 100 by bolts, adhesive, or welding, thereby securing the water flow generator 32 within the foot bath 100.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the water circulation system includes a rigid water outlet pipe 33 that is fluidly connected to the water flow generator 32. A quick-connect structure 34 is provided between the circulation pipeline 31 and the rigid water outlet pipe 33. The rigid water outlet pipe 33 is fluidly connected to the water flow generator 32, and the quick-connect structure 34 is configured to establish a water flow channel between the rigid water outlet pipe 33 and the circulation pipeline 31. The rigid water outlet pipe 33 is fixed to the housing 322 of the water flow generator 32. Water in the pump chamber 3221 enters the circulation pipeline 31 through the rigid water outlet pipe 33.

[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the quick-connect structure 34 includes a pipe positioning device 341 and a sealing member 342 disposed on the body 10 of the foot bath 100. The pipe positioning device 341 is inserted and connected to the inlet of the circulation pipe 31 to position the inlet at a set position in the foot bath cavity 11. The sealing member 342 is fixedly installed on the pipe positioning device 341 on the other side opposite to the inlet, and the sealing member 342 and the pipe positioning device 341 are sealed together. The sealing member 342 has a sealing part facing the rigid water outlet pipe 33. When the water flow generator 32 is installed on the body 10, the rigid water outlet pipe 33 and the sealing part press against each other to seal, so that the rigid water outlet pipe 33 and the circulation pipe 31 are in fluid communication. The coordinated design of the pipeline positioning device 341 and the sealing component 342 effectively solves the problem of difficult disassembly and assembly of the water flow generator 32 and the circulating water circuit device: the pipeline positioning device 341 ensures that the sealing component 342 and the rigid water outlet pipe 33 of the water flow generator 32 are always aligned, and the sealing component 342 and the rigid water outlet pipe 33 are sealed by pressure. Users can complete the assembly or disassembly by simply disassembling the pipeline positioning device 341, which significantly simplifies the maintenance process.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the circulation pipeline 31 includes a connecting section 317 that is inserted into and connected to the pipeline positioning device 341; this connecting section 317 can be part of a flexible hose section. The connecting section 317 is inserted into and connected to the pipeline positioning device 341. The pipeline positioning device 341 has a tubular structure; one end of the pipeline positioning device 341 is inserted into and connected to the connecting section 317 of the circulation pipeline 31, and the other end is sealed to the sealing member 342. The rigid water outlet pipe 33 has a certain supporting strength so that the rigid water outlet pipe 33 and the sealing member 342 are not easily deformed when they come into contact. The rigid water outlet pipe 33 and the pipeline positioning device 341 are coaxially arranged; the axis of the rigid water outlet pipe 33 and the axis of the pipeline positioning device 341 are both horizontally arranged.

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 10As shown, the sealing member 342 is annularly arranged; the sealing member 342 has a mating groove 3421, into which the pipe positioning device 341 can extend to facilitate the assembly of the sealing member 342 onto the pipe positioning device 341. The side of the sealing member 342 facing the rigid water outlet pipe 33 has a recess 3422 that mates with the rigid water outlet pipe 33, thereby improving the sealing performance between the sealing member 342 and the rigid water outlet pipe 33. The sealing member 342 is flexibly arranged so that it can be clamped between the rigid water outlet pipe 33 and the pipe positioning device 341, compensating for a wider range of manufacturing tolerances and assembly deviations. The sealing member 342 is made of rubber; during disassembly and assembly, the flexibility of rubber eliminates the risk of plastic deformation after disassembly, completely solving the problem of the rigid sealing ring 316 easily breaking or getting stuck due to repeated disassembly and assembly.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the quick-connect pipe structure 34 also includes a base 343, which is fixed to the body 10. The pipe positioning device 341 is movably mounted on the base 343 via an elastic member 344. The elastic member 344 drives the sealing part to press against and seal the rigid water outlet pipe 33. When disassembling and assembling the water flow generator 32, the pipe positioning device 341 can obtain a certain amount of movement by compressing the elastic member 344, thereby providing dynamic adjustment space for the connection between the rigid water outlet pipe 33 and the sealing part, effectively reducing the assembly difficulty and improving the ease of disassembly and assembly. In addition, the elastic member 344 can also enable the pipe positioning device 341 to have dynamic sealing compensation capability, which can keep the sealing member 342 pressed against and sealed against the rigid water outlet pipe 33.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 10 As shown, the base 343 has a sliding hole 34311 for the pipe positioning device 341 to slide, thereby defining the movement path of the pipe positioning device 341. The base 343 includes a first seat body 3431 and a second seat body 3432; the first seat body 3431 is fixed to the foot bath 100 by bolts, adhesive, or welding; the second seat body 3432 is fixed to the first seat body 3431 by bolts, adhesive, or welding; the sliding hole 34311 is located on the second seat body 3432. The first seat body 3431 has a receiving cavity 34312 and a through hole 34321 communicating with the receiving cavity 34312, and the second seat body 3432 is located in the receiving cavity 34312. The pipe positioning device 341 passes through the sliding hole 34311 and the through hole 34321 in sequence.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figures 4 to 10As shown, the pipeline positioning device 341 has a boss 3411, and an elastic member 344 is disposed between the base 343 and the boss 3411. The boss 3411 is arranged in a ring shape and is continuously or intermittently arranged around the pipeline positioning device 341. The elastic member 344 is a spring; the spring is sleeved on the outside of the pipeline positioning device 341, with one end abutting against the second base 3432 and the other end abutting against the boss 3411. Both the boss 3411 and the elastic member 344 are located within the receiving cavity 34312.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the water treatment device 35 comprises at least one of a sterilization device 351, a filtration device 352, and an adsorption device. The adsorption device is configured to add functional substances to the water; the sterilization device is configured to sterilize the water in the water circulation; and the filtration device is configured to allow the purified water to flow back into the foot bath chamber 11. The water treatment device 35 flexibly incorporates sterilization, filtration, and / or adsorption functional modules, efficiently optimizing water quality while achieving water circulation, significantly improving the functional integration and user experience of the foot bath 100.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the sterilization device can be an ultraviolet sterilization device; for example, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp. The sterilization device is disposed on the cover 20 to sterilize the water flowing through the outlet, reduce bacterial growth, and improve the hygiene and safety of foot baths.

[0042] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the circulation pipeline 31 includes a sterilization section 311, with a sterilization device configured to irradiate the sterilization section 311 directly. An ultraviolet sterilization device is located downstream of the sterilization section 311. The sterilization section 311 has a sterilization channel 3111, which extends in the direction of the ultraviolet sterilization device to increase its sterilization range. The sterilization section 311 extends from the bottom of the foot bath cavity 11 towards the cover 20 and is adjacent to the side wall of the foot bath cavity 11. The extension length of the sterilization section 311 is not less than 3cm, 4cm, 5cm, 6cm, 7cm, 8cm, 9cm, or 10cm. The 4cm to 6cm range has been experimentally verified as the optimal solution balancing equipment space layout and sterilization efficiency, satisfying both the compact internal structure requirements of the foot bath 100 and achieving efficient sterilization by extending the contact time between the water flow path and the sterilization medium.

[0043] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3As shown, a partition member 315 is provided within the sterilization section 311, dividing the sterilization section 311 into a first cavity section 312 and a second cavity section 313 that are interconnected. When water flows through the first cavity section 312 and the second cavity section 313, it can change the flow direction of the circulating water, thereby extending the length of the circulation pipeline 31. The extension paths of the first cavity section 312 and the second cavity section 313 are approximately parallel. Water flows through the first cavity section 312 in a first direction; water flows through the second cavity section 313 in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The top of the first cavity section 312 is connected to the top of the second cavity section. The first cavity section 312 is part of the sterilization channel 3111, that is, the sterilization device 351 is configured to irradiate the first cavity section 312.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the second chamber section 313 has a connecting port 314 that communicates with the outlet 362, and the connecting port 314 is generally located below the second chamber section 313. Specifically, the bottom of the partition member 315 is located below the connecting port 314 and extends above the connecting port 314. The partition member 315 can prevent the sterilization device 351 from irradiating the connecting port 314, so as to prevent the ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet sterilization device 351 from irradiating the outlet 362 through the connecting port 314.

[0045] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an ambient light 23 is also provided on the cover 20; at least a portion of the cover 20 is a transparent area, configured to allow the light from the ambient light 23 to pass through, forming a luminous area within the transparent area to enhance the user experience of the foot bath 100. The ambient light 23 and the ultraviolet sterilization device 351 are integrated on the same support plate to facilitate their installation. The second cavity section 313 can be configured to extend in the irradiation direction of the ambient light 23.

[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 as well as Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the extension path of the connecting segment 317 is perpendicular to the extension path of the sterilization segment 311; at least a portion of the sterilization segment 311 is a flexible tube segment. The foot bath 100 also includes a path guiding member 40, which is configured to guide the paths of the sterilization segment 311 and the connecting segment 317. The path guiding member 40 includes a first guiding segment 41 and a second guiding segment 42. The interior of the first guiding segment 41 forms a first defining space for defining the extension path of the sterilization segment 311, and the interior of the second guiding segment 42 forms a second defining space for defining the extension path of the connecting segment 317.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3 as well as Figures 13 to 14As shown, the filter device 352 and the cover 20 are detachable, allowing the filter device 352 to be easily removed from the cover 20 for cleaning. The detachable structure of the filter device 352 and the cover 20 can employ existing technology; for example, the filter device 352 can be detachably connected to the cover 20 by means of snap-fit ​​or similar means.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3 as well as Figures 13 to 14 As shown, the structure of the filter device 352 is not strictly limited; for example, the filter device 352 includes a filter housing 3521 and a filter element; the filter housing 3521 has a filter chamber 3522 and a filter inlet 3523 and a filter outlet 3524 communicating with the filter chamber 3522; the filter element is located inside the filter chamber 3522; the filter inlet 3523 is connected to a circulation pipe; and the filter outlet 3524 can be connected to a water outlet 362. Circulating water enters the filter chamber 3522 through the filter inlet 3523, and after being filtered by the filter element, flows out through the filter outlet 3524. The filter element can be a filter screen or activated carbon, etc.

[0049] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3 as well as Figures 13 to 14 As shown, the filter device 352 is detachably mounted on the water outlet component 36; when the water outlet component 36 is disassembled, the filter device 352 can also be disassembled, improving the ease of disassembly of the filter device 352. When the water outlet component 36 is assembled to the cover 20, the water inlet port of the filter device 352 abuts and seals against the circulation pipe, so that the filter device 352 is connected to the circulation pipe, which facilitates the assembly of the filter device 352 and the circulation pipe.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 3 as well as Figures 13 to 14 As shown, a sealing ring 316 is provided at the end of the circulation pipeline facing the filter device 352; the filter inlet 3523 of the filter device 352 can be pressed and sealed with the sealing ring 316 to ensure a sealed connection between the circulation pipeline and the filter device 352. The water outlet component 36 has a receiving cavity 34312; the filter device 352 is disposed in the receiving cavity 34312 and is detachably connected to the water outlet component 36.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the adsorption device can be medicinal materials or foot bath salts; the water outlet component 36 has a functional release chamber for accommodating the adsorption device. The functional release chamber is connected to the circulation pipe 31 so that medicinal materials or foot bath salts can be added to the circulating water.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 16As shown, this application also provides a foot bath device 100, including a body 10, a cover 20, a water circulation system 30, a massage device 50, and a drive device 60. The body 10 has a foot bath cavity 11; the cover 20 is disposed on the top of the body 10; the water circulation system 30 is the water circulation system 30 in the above embodiments; the massage device 50 is disposed in the body 10 to perform massage actions on the user's feet; the drive device 60 is configured to synchronously drive the massage device 50 and the water flow generator 32.

[0053] After the user injects an appropriate amount of water into the main body 10, the foot bath device 100 is activated. The drive device 60 drives the circulation paddle 321 to operate. The circulation paddle 321 pushes the water flow through the sterilization channel 3111 to complete the sterilization process. Subsequently, the water flows through the filtration device to intercept impurities and absorb odors. The purified water flows into the water outlet component 36 and falls back into the foot bath cavity 11, forming a continuous circulation. In addition, the drive device 60 simultaneously drives the massage head 51 to operate, further enhancing the foot care effect through mechanical massage.

[0054] The massage device 50 and the water flow generator 32 share a power mechanism. When the drive device 60 outputs power, it can synchronously drive the circulation paddle 321 to form a directional water flow circulation and drive the massage device 50 to perform massage actions. This coupling design not only simplifies the number of transmission components in the foot bath 100 and reduces manufacturing costs, but also makes the water flow circulation and massage form a natural linkage. For example, when the massage device 50 performs high-frequency massage, the circulation paddle 321 synchronously accelerates the water flow circulation to enhance the impurity filtration efficiency.

[0055] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the main body 10 has a front end and a rear end, which are positioned opposite each other.
