In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an ice therapy machine comprises:

[0029] An inner tank (1), wherein the inner tank (1) is filled with liquid, and the inner tank (1) is provided with an opening for a user to enter;

[0030] A refrigeration device (2), the refrigeration device (2) being disposed against the inner tank (1) and being used to reduce the temperature of the liquid in the inner tank (1);

[0031] Disinfection equipment, comprising a filter water pump (10) and a disinfection component (3), wherein the filter water pump (10) is connected to the inner tank (1) via a water inlet pipe (8) and a water outlet pipe (9), respectively, and the water outlet pipe (9) is connected to the disinfection component (3).

[0032] When using the ice therapy machine, a liquid, such as water, can be filled into the inner tank (1), and then the refrigeration device (2) can be started. The refrigeration device cools the wall surface of the inner tank (1) from the outside. After the temperature of the liquid drops to a certain temperature, the user can enter the inner tank (1) from the entrance to perform ice therapy. Since most users perform ice therapy after exercise, the user's body is relatively dirty after exercise, and ice therapy requires the user to soak in the inner tank (1). In order to ensure the hygiene of ice therapy, the disinfection device is provided in the utility model. The filter water pump (10) can extract water from the inner tank (1) for filtration. The filtered water will enter the disinfection component (3) for further disinfection. After disinfection, it will be discharged back into the inner tank (1) to achieve water disinfection and ensure the hygiene and safety of the equipment.

[0033] At the same time, because the filtered water pump (10) generates water flow when extracting or draining water, it can provide the user with a massage-like function, further improving the therapeutic effect and user experience of the ice therapy machine.

[0034] Preferably, the disinfection element (3) comprises a housing (31), a connecting pipe (32) and a UV lamp (33);

[0035] The UV lamp (33) is installed in the housing (31), a circulation space for liquid flow is left between the housing (31) and the UV lamp (33), two connecting pipes (32) are provided, the two connecting pipes (32) are connected to the circulation space, and the water outlet pipe (9) is respectively connected to the two connecting pipes (32).

[0036] The filtered water will flow out from the water outlet pipe (9). In order to further improve the disinfection effect in the utility model, the water outlet pipe (9) is connected to the housing (31) through a connecting pipe (32), and a UV lamp (33) is arranged in the housing (31). The ultraviolet rays of a specific wavelength emitted by the UV lamp (33) can destroy the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of microorganisms, thereby preventing them from reproducing and growing. The purpose of disinfecting and purifying water is achieved. Then the water flows out from another connecting pipe (32) and re-enters the inner tank (1).

[0037] Preferably, the refrigeration equipment (2) comprises a condenser (21), an evaporation plate (22), a compressor (23) and a copper tube (24);

[0038] The body of the copper tube (24) is wound around the outer wall of the inner tank (1); one end of the copper tube (24) is connected to the inlet of the compressor (23); the outlet of the compressor (23) is connected to the inlet of the condenser (21); the outlet of the condenser (21) is connected to the inlet of the evaporation plate (22); and the outlet of the evaporation plate (22) is connected to the other end of the copper tube (24).

[0039] The evaporation plate (22) is provided with a coil evaporator. When the water body needs to be cooled, the compressor (23) draws in the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas in the copper tube (24), increases its temperature and pressure through compression, and sends it to the condenser (21). The condenser (21) cools the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas and converts it into a high-pressure liquid. The high-temperature liquid is then input into the coil evaporator, and the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant is evaporated into refrigerant gas, which is then re-introduced into the copper tube (24). The copper tube (24) is wound around the outer wall of the inner tank (1) to cool the inner tank (1) by heat exchange. Since the refrigeration method is direct cooling, the temperature is lower than that of the water chillers on the market, and the water temperature can be as low as about 0°C. The product has better performance and can better cooperate with the body recovery after fitness.

[0040] Preferably, the copper tube (24) is arranged in multiple layers on the outer wall of the inner tank (1) in a winding manner.

[0041] The provision of multiple layers of copper tubes (24) can effectively improve the heat exchange efficiency of the copper tubes (24), thereby accelerating the cooling speed of the liquid in the inner tank (1).

[0042] Preferably, it also includes an integrally formed installation box (4), the installation box (4) includes an adjacent frame (41) and an insulation shell (42), the refrigeration equipment (2) and the disinfection equipment are installed in the frame (41), and the insulation shell (42) is sleeved on the outside of the inner tank (1).

[0043] The inner tank (1), the refrigeration device (2) and the disinfection device can all be installed in the installation box, which can be conveniently used for transportation. At the same time, when the refrigeration device (2) and the disinfection device are installed in the frame and are in operation, only one power cord can be pulled in and connected to the frame (41) to enable the entire device to operate, thereby increasing the convenience of the device when in use.

[0044] In order to prevent the copper tube (24) from exchanging heat in the air, thereby reducing the heat exchange efficiency with the inner tank (1), a heat-insulating shell (42) is provided to isolate the inner tank (1) from the external air. This speeds up the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the frame (41) and the heat-insulating shell (42) are independent spaces, and the heat of the refrigeration device (2) in the frame (41) during cooling can be isolated, thereby reducing the impact on the inner tank (1).

[0045] Preferably, it further comprises a heat-insulating cover (7), wherein the heat-insulating cover (7) is detachably mounted on both sides of the opening, and the heat-insulating cover (7) is used to cover the opening.

[0046] When the temperature is not lowered to a suitable temperature, the heat-insulating cover (7) can be installed to cover the opening, thereby reducing heat conduction and convection between the liquid in the inner tank (1) and the outside air, thereby improving the refrigeration effect.

[0047] Preferably, it further comprises a drain pipe (5), one end of the drain pipe (5) being connected to the bottom of the inner tank (1), and the body of the drain pipe (5) passing through the insulation shell (42), so that the other end of the drain pipe (5) is placed outside the insulation shell (42).

[0048] In order to facilitate drainage for users, in the utility model, a drainage pipe (5) is provided, through which water can be drained from the bottom of the inner tank (1).

[0049] Preferably, the frame (41) is provided with a vent, and the vent is covered with a filter (6). The vent can improve the ventilation efficiency in the frame (41), reduce the temperature in the frame (41) increased by the operation of the refrigeration device (2), and thus reduce the impact of the operation of the refrigeration device (2) on the inner tank (1).
