[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a self-service hair washing machine for elderly people at home comprises a hair washing machine body 1 and a water tank 2. The hair washing machine body 1 is fixedly installed at a certain height in the room. The water tank 2 comprises a shell, a roller 3 is arranged at the bottom of the shell, a telescopic pull rod 4 is arranged at the top of the shell, a clean water tank 5 and a sewage tank 6 are detachably installed in the shell, the shell is provided with an openable top cover and interfaces respectively connected to the clean water tank 5 and the sewage tank 6 are arranged on the top cover, the interfaces are connected to the hair washing machine body 1 through a connecting pipe 7, and independent branch pipes respectively connected to each interface are arranged in the connecting pipe 7.

[0033] In the above structure, the clean water tank 5 and the sewage tank 6 are both provided with a reversible handle, which can be easily taken out by lowering the handle and flipping it out and carrying the handle. In addition, a rubber plug is provided at the bottom of the sewage tank 6. When the rubber plug is pulled out, the sewage can be discharged from the bottom of the sewage tank 6, which helps the elderly to easily discharge sewage. The roller 3 is a universal wheel, and the telescopic pull rod 4 cooperates with the water tank 3 to move, which is convenient for filling and draining water.

[0034] The bottom end of the hair washing machine body 1 is detachably connected to a shampoo container 9 by means of a screw thread. Before use, a certain amount of shampoo can be added to the shampoo container 9 so that the device can extract shampoo for washing hair.

[0035] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower part of the front end of the shampoo machine body 1 is provided with a shampoo chamber 10 for the head to be inserted into, and the shampoo chamber 10 is provided with a shampoo chamber cover 11, and the shampoo chamber cover 11 is connected to the shampoo chamber 10 by magnetic attraction, and the shampoo machine body 1 is provided with a head sealing mechanism, a water supply mechanism, a liquid supply mechanism, a water temperature regulating mechanism, a rubbing and massaging mechanism, a drying mechanism and a drainage mechanism.

[0036] The head sealing mechanism includes an elastic airbag 12 arranged around the inner edge of the shampooing area and an air pump 13 connected to the elastic airbag 12. The entrance of the shampooing chamber 10 can be in the form of an inclined surface to adapt to the hair area of ​​the human head. When the user's head is inserted into the shampooing chamber 10, the elastic airbag 12 around the hair area can be inflated by the air pump 13 so as to fit the head tightly, so as to achieve a sealing and leak-proof effect, and prevent the liquid inside the shampooing chamber 10 from leaking out. Specifically, when not inflated, the elastic airbag 12 is in the smallest state, and a large gap is left between the head of the elderly and the edge of the shampooing chamber 10 so that the head of the elderly can enter the inside of the shampooing machine. When the elderly determine the sitting posture and the product is started, the air pump 13 inflates the elastic airbag 12 so that the elastic airbag 12 gradually fills the gap between the head of the elderly and the edge of the shampooing assembly. When the elastic airbag 12 contacts the head of the elderly, the pressure sensor 8 senses the change in pressure in the elastic airbag 12, transmits a signal to the air pump control assembly, stops inflating, and thus realizes that the product and the head of the elderly should be sealed in contact, prevents liquid from leaking, and keeps the entire shampooing process clean. When the hair cleaning is completed and the automatic drying mode is started, the elastic airbag 12 starts to deflate and returns to the smallest state, and the gap between the head of the elderly and the edge of the shampooing assembly is restored, and the air outlet is opened for the blowing assembly.

[0037] The kneading and massaging mechanism includes a plurality of kneading modules 14, such as Figure 5As shown, the front end of the kneading module 14 is provided with a water outlet and a liquid outlet, the water supply mechanism includes a water outlet pipe connected to the water outlet, a water pump 18 connecting the water outlet pipe and the connecting pipe 7, and the liquid supply mechanism includes a liquid outlet pipe connected to the liquid outlet, and a liquid pump connecting the liquid outlet pipe and the shampoo container 9. In the process of kneading the scalp by the kneading module 14, clean water and shampoo can be sprayed from the water outlet and the liquid outlet respectively at a predetermined time. The water temperature adjustment mechanism includes a heater 15 connected between the water pump 18 and the water outlet pipe, and the temperature of the clean water can be adjusted by heating with the heater 15 to facilitate the use of the elderly. The heater 15 adopts a highly efficient heat exchange method, using an insulated fast-heating quartz tube and electroplated with a nano-electric heating film. It contains a longitudinally arranged water baffle, and water flows through the water flow baffle for heat exchange. An electrode plate is provided outside the heat exchanger, which has a positive pole and a negative pole and adopts a semicircular design so that its electrical energy can be fully converted into thermal energy of the heat exchanger. An insulation plate is provided outside the electrode plate to insulate the heat exchanger and make full use of its heat.

[0038] In the above-mentioned kneading and massaging mechanism, the number of kneading modules 14 is 8, and the 8 kneading modules 14 are evenly distributed on the inner arc surface of the product. Each kneading module 14 has 4 silicone massage heads, and the massage heads are required to perform two kinds of movements: moving back and forth perpendicular to the inner arc surface to ensure that the massage heads can contact the head of each elderly person; local rotation movement to increase the contact area with the elderly person's head to ensure sufficient kneading and massage. The silicone massage head can be driven to move back and forth by setting a front and rear drive motor transmission screw. When the massage head contacts the elderly person's head, the pressure sensing film of the massage head receives the signal and transmits the signal to the controller of the front and rear drive structure, and the massage head stops moving forward. The rotary drive motor drives the active gear to rotate, and the active gear cooperates with the intermediate transmission gear to drive the 4 driven gears to rotate. The driven gear drives the connecting rod to connect the sphere to swing in a circle under the constraints of the support base plate and the limit groove, thereby achieving uniform massage of the head.

[0039] The drying mechanism includes a hair dryer 16 for blowing wind into the shampooing chamber 10. Specifically, wind enters the hair dryer 16 from the air inlet, enters the internal heating module, and then blows out from the air outlets evenly distributed on the inner arc surface to dry the hair. The drainage mechanism includes a drainage port arranged at the bottom of the shampooing chamber 10 and connected to the connecting pipe 7.

[0040] In addition, a neck rest 17 for the neck to lean against is provided on the front end surface of the shampoo machine body 1. The neck rest is located below the shampoo chamber 10 and is made of silicone material and covered with skin-friendly fabric. During shampooing, the neck of the elderly can lean back against the neck rest to improve comfort.

[0041] The side of the outer shell of the hair washing machine body 1 can also be treated with concave reinforcing ribs to enrich the product details while enhancing the stability of the shell. According to the needs of the heat dissipation and air intake functions, the design of heat dissipation holes and air intake holes can be added at appropriate positions. In addition, a mounting groove can be set on the back of the hair washing machine body 1, and the wall-mounted installation of the hair washing machine can be completed by placing the fixed hooks and other components on the wall in the mounting groove, which is easy to operate. At the same time, a control touch panel can be set on the upper part of the front end of the hair washing machine body 1, and the status information of the hair washing machine can be displayed on the panel, which is convenient for users to control and observe the operation of the product. Those skilled in the art can also set a remote control to control the operation of the hair washing machine as needed. Accordingly, a groove for placing the remote control can be set at the top of the hair washing machine body 1.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, the use process of the self-service hair washing machine for the elderly provided in the above embodiment is roughly as follows: When the user is ready to start washing his hair, he first pulls the clean water tank 5 to the bathroom to fill it with water ( Figure 6 01 state), and then plug the connecting pipe 7 to connect the water tank 2 to the shampoo machine body 1 ( Figure 6 02 state), then pour shampoo and a certain amount of water into the shampoo container 9 and mix them thoroughly, and then spirally connect the shampoo container 9 to the shampoo machine body 1 ( Figure 6 03 state), then turn on the switch and select long hair / short hair mode, set the washing temperature and washing time ( Figure 6 04 status), then sit on the shampooing seat and press the remote start button to start shampooing ( Figure 6 05 state), after washing your hair, turn off the hair washing machine, and then take out the sewage tank 6 to clean and discharge the sewage ( Figure 6 06 status).

[0043] The operation process of each component inside the shampooing machine includes: first, the power is turned on, the information set by the user is processed, and then it starts to start. The air pump 13 inflates the elastic airbag 12 until the pressure sensor senses the change in pressure in the elastic airbag 12 and transmits a signal to the controller of the air pump 13, so that the air pump 13 stops inflating. At this time, the front and rear drive components of the kneading and massage mechanism drive the massage head to move forward perpendicular to the inner arc surface and fit the user's head. In this process, the pressure sensing film transmits the pressure change signal to control the pause of the front and rear drive components. The control module of the water pump 18 controls the running time of the water pump 18 according to the long and short hair mode set by the user. Specifically, the water pump 18 draws clean water into the water outlet pipe. At the same time, the heater 15 heats the water according to the shampooing water temperature set by the user. The heated water enters several water spray pipes through the water diversion valve and is discharged from the outlet of the corresponding kneading module 14. The water outlet is sprayed to wet the hair. The control module of the air compression pump 19 for controlling the liquid outflow from the shampoo container 9 controls its own running time according to the long and short hair mode set by the user, that is, the air compression pump 19 cooperates with the high-pressure air pipe to press the shampoo into the liquid separation valve and then sprays it out from the liquid outlet of each kneading module 14. At the same time, the massage head in the kneading massage mechanism massages the scalp. The control module of the water pump 18 controls the running time of the water pump 18 according to the long and short hair mode set by the user. The water pump 18 draws clean water into the water outlet pipe. The heater 15 heats the water according to the shampoo water temperature set by the user. The heated water enters several water spray pipes through the water separation valve and is sprayed from the water outlet of the corresponding kneading module 14 to rinse the hair. The sewage transfers the water to the sewage tank 6 through the drain outlet, and then the air pump 13 controls the elastic airbag 12 to deflate, and the hair dryer 16 dries the hair. Finally, the power is disconnected.

[0044] The self-service hair washing machine for the elderly provided in this embodiment integrates functions such as water temperature adjustment, automatic water supply, automatic liquid supply, kneading massage, and automatic drying. It has a high degree of intelligence and can clean the hair of the elderly autonomously. The product includes a hair washing machine and a water tank. The two parts are detachably connected and movable. The elderly can choose the home hair washing environment according to their preferences. It has good market application prospects and value.

[0045] In order to make it easier for ordinary technicians in this field to understand the improvements of the present invention over the prior art, some drawings and descriptions of the present invention have been simplified, and the above-mentioned embodiments are better implementation schemes of the present invention. In addition, the present invention can also be implemented in other ways.
