Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of health care equipment, and particularly to a steam bath device with mixed temperature regulation. Background Art

[0002] A foot bath device is a kind of health care equipment. By cleaning, stimulating or massaging the human feet, it helps to promote blood circulation, relax the body and mind, regulate the body functions, and achieve the effect of preventing diseases and maintaining health. In addition to the traditional function of soaking the feet in hot water, some existing foot bath devices have added the function of steam fumigation to improve the comfort of users.

[0003] Direct fumigation of high-temperature steam on human body parts will cause burns. Therefore, it is necessary to cool down the high-temperature steam before transporting it to human body parts. In an existing technology, such as the solution disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN210748931U, after cooling the steam by mixing it with the cold air outside the foot bath device, it is transported to the soles of the feet. The steam starts to fumigate from the soles of the feet and slowly fills the entire foot bath basin, covering both legs. However, in this existing technology solution, the high-temperature steam is driven by the negative pressure effect formed by the jet effect of the cold air to mix with the cold air, that is, the high-temperature steam is not actively transported but relies on the flow of the cold air. There are problems such as unsmooth flow of the high-temperature steam, uneven mixing, and difficulty in effectively adjusting the flow rates of the cold and hot airflows, resulting in the temperature of the mixed steam being difficult to reach an appropriate state.

[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to overcome the above deficiencies. Summary of the Utility Model

[0039] The following will elaborate on some embodiments of this application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9As shown, the present application discloses a steam bath device 100 with hybrid temperature regulation, which can generate steam to fumigate the body, achieving the health care purposes of promoting blood circulation, relieving fatigue, massaging and physiotherapy, and relaxing the body and mind. In some embodiments, the steam bath device 100 with hybrid temperature regulation is mainly used to fumigate the limbs of the human body. For example, in one embodiment, the steam bath device 100 with hybrid temperature regulation is a foot bath machine, which can fumigate the lower limbs of the human body, that is, the legs and feet; in another embodiment, the steam bath device 100 with hybrid temperature regulation can be used to fumigate the upper limbs of the human body, that is, the arms and hands. The steam bath device 100 with hybrid temperature regulation includes a steam bath chamber 101 and a steam temperature regulation chamber 102 fluidly connected to the steam bath chamber 101. The steam bath chamber 101 is used to accommodate body parts, and steam is introduced into the steam bath chamber 101 to fumigate the body parts. The body parts are, for example, the lower limbs, upper limbs, etc. described above, and of course, they can also be other parts. The steam temperature regulation chamber 102 is adapted to adjust high-temperature steam to suitable-temperature steam and transport it to the steam bath chamber 101. It should be noted that the suitable-temperature steam refers to steam whose temperature is suitable for fumigating the body, and its temperature range is not absolute and can vary depending on the person and the environment. For example, in one embodiment, the temperature of the suitable-temperature steam is between 30°C and 60°C. The steam temperature regulation chamber 102 is configured with a high-temperature steam delivery port 61 and a low-temperature air flow delivery port 403. The high-temperature steam delivery port 61 is used to transport high-temperature steam into the steam temperature regulation chamber 102, and the low-temperature air flow delivery port 403 is used to transport low-temperature air flow into the steam temperature regulation chamber 102; wherein, the steam temperature regulation chamber 102 has at least one steam mixing channel, and the high-temperature steam and the low-temperature air flow are transported into the same steam mixing channel and flow in the same direction in the steam mixing channel. The steam bath device 100 with hybrid temperature regulation provided by the present application can transport high-temperature steam and the low-temperature air flow into the same steam mixing channel and flow in the same direction in the steam mixing channel, making the mixing of the air flow smoother and more uniform.

[0041] In this embodiment, the steam mixing channel of the steam temperature regulating chamber 102 includes a first channel 1021, a second channel 1022, and at least a pair of flow dividing convex parts 111. Among them, the first channel 1021 is adapted to configure the suitable-temperature steam to be input from the bottom of the steam bath chamber 101; the second channel 1022 is adapted to configure the suitable-temperature steam to be input from the upper part and / or the middle part of the steam bath chamber 101; the pair of flow dividing convex parts 111 are arranged at a set distance interval, the first channel 1021 is defined between the pair of flow dividing convex parts 111, and the second channel 1022 is defined outside the flow dividing convex parts 111. While the suitable-temperature steam flows in the first channel 1021, it can partially cross the flow dividing convex parts 111 and enter the second channel 1022. The steam bath device 100 with hybrid temperature regulation provided in this embodiment can make a part of the suitable-temperature steam be input from the bottom of the steam bath chamber 101 and a part be input from the middle or upper area on the side of the steam bath chamber 101, so that the suitable-temperature steam can quickly fill the steam bath chamber 101, reduce the temperature difference between the upper and lower areas in the steam bath chamber 101, and improve the fumigation effect on the body and the use comfort. Moreover, the steam entering the second channel 1022 comes over the flow dividing convex parts 111, and the flow dividing convex parts 111 have a blocking effect on this part of the steam, which can slow down the flow rate of this part of the steam and avoid the discomfort caused by the relatively fast speed impacting the middle and upper parts of the steam bath chamber 101. At the same time, the blocking effect can also play a role in disturbing the flow, which is beneficial to making the temperature of this part of the steam entering the second channel 1022 be more appropriately adjusted, and avoiding the discomfort caused by the insufficient or uneven temperature adjustment of the steam, resulting in overheated, overcooled or uneven hot and cold steam.

[0042] In this embodiment, a flow blocking convex part 41 for slowing down the flow of the suitable-temperature steam in the second channel 1022 is further provided in the second channel 1022, and the suitable-temperature steam in the second channel 1022 crosses the flow blocking convex part 41 and is input into the steam bath chamber 101. The flow dividing convex parts 111 and the flow blocking convex part 41 are arranged in an alternating manner to construct a tortuous flow path. By further providing the flow blocking convex part 41 in the second channel 1022, which constructs a tortuous flow path with the flow dividing convex parts 111, the flow rate of the steam input into the steam bath chamber 101 from the second channel 1022 can be further slowed down, and further flow disturbance and mixing can be achieved, avoiding the rapid impact of the steam flow and the discomfort caused by the insufficient or uneven temperature adjustment of the steam, resulting in overheated, overcooled or uneven hot and cold steam. A drainage inclined surface 411 for guiding the suitable-temperature steam to flow out of the second channel 1022 is provided on the flow blocking convex part 41.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, the hybrid temperature-controlled steam bath 100 has a cavity surrounded by several walls and a partition 4 placed in the cavity. The partition 4 divides the cavity into the steam bath chamber 101 and the steam temperature control chamber 102. By arranging the partition 4 in the cavity to divide it into two chambers, namely the steam bath chamber 101 and the steam temperature control chamber 102, the structure is simple. Specifically, the cavity has a front wall facing the user during use and a rear wall away from the user. The partition 4 is arranged close to the rear wall and has a certain distance from the rear wall to form the steam temperature control chamber 102 therebetween. It can be understood that the partition means that the steam bath chamber 101 and the steam temperature control chamber 102 are two distinguishable parts of space, and it does not mean that they are isolated and not connected. On the contrary, in this embodiment, the steam temperature control chamber 102 and the steam bath chamber 101 are in fluid communication with each other, and air can flow in and out between them.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the partition 4 is integrally plate-shaped, and flow-blocking convex portions 41 are provided at its left and right edges close to the edges. In this embodiment, the flow-blocking convex portions 41 have a certain width and are hollow convex ribs protruding towards the rear wall of the cavity and extending in the up and down directions. Such a setting enables the partition 4 to be fixed to the rear wall by means of the flow-blocking convex portions 41 at the same time. Since the flow-blocking convex portions 41 are closer to the rear wall, several screw posts can be provided on the flow-blocking convex portions 41 or at positions on the rear wall opposite to the flow-blocking convex portions 41, and the partition 4 is fixed to the rear wall of the cavity by screws passing through the screw posts. In other embodiments, the flow-blocking convex portions 41 can also be provided as thin plate-shaped convex plates.

[0045] There is a distance between the left and right edges of the partition 4 and the rear wall to form side outlets 402 for the steam in the second channel 1022 to flow into the steam bath chamber 101. The side outlets 402 are the outlets of the second channel 1022 and are long strip-shaped outlets extending in the up and down directions. In this embodiment, the long strip-shaped outlet extends from top to bottom and its length is not less than half of the height of the steam bath chamber 101. In this way, steam can enter the steam bath chamber 101 from positions such as the upper part, the middle part, and the lower part near the middle on the side, enabling the steam to fill the steam bath chamber 101 faster and ensuring that steam enters the steam bath chamber 101 at various heights on the side to avoid the feeling of steam stratification. In this embodiment, the side outlets 402 extend from the upper end to the lower end of the partition 4. In this embodiment, grid strip plates 42 are provided in at least part of the area of the long strip-shaped outlet, and a number of grid holes are formed in the grid strip plates 42. The provision of the grid strip plates 42 is conducive to the uniform dispersion of steam flowing out through the grid holes.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the hybrid temperature-controlled steam bath 100 further includes a temperature measuring member 81 for detecting the temperature of the suitable-temperature steam, and the temperature measuring member 81 is disposed in the second channel 1022. Since the steam entering the second channel 1022 is blocked and turbulently flowed by the flow dividing protrusion 111, its mixing is relatively sufficient. By disposing the temperature measuring member 81 in this second channel 1022, the temperature measurement is more accurate. In this embodiment, the temperature measuring member 81 is disposed outside the flow blocking protrusion 41, so that the steam measured by the temperature measuring member 81 is the steam turbulently flowed through the tortuous flow channel formed by the flow dividing protrusion 111 and the flow blocking protrusion 41. The steam at this place is more sufficiently mixed and the temperature measurement is more accurate. The temperature measuring member 81 is a temperature measuring probe, which protrudes into the steam temperature control chamber 102 through the rear wall of the chamber.

[0047] A bottom outlet 401 is provided at the lower end of the partition plate 4 for the steam in the first channel 1021 to flow into the steam bath 101. The bottom outlet 401 is the outlet of the first channel 1021. In this embodiment, the bottom outlet 401 is formed by a distance between the middle of the lower end edge of the partition plate 4 and the bottom wall of the chamber. The partition plate 4 is provided with a low-temperature air flow delivery port 403 near the upper end. The low-temperature air flow delivery port 403 communicates the steam bath 101 and the steam temperature control chamber 102, so as to suck the steam in the upper part of the steam bath 101 into the steam temperature control chamber 102 to be adjusted into suitable-temperature steam, and then input it into the steam bath 101 from the bottom outlet 401 and the side outlet 402.

[0048] Since high-temperature steam is introduced into the steam temperature control chamber 102, to prevent the partition plate 4 from being too hot and causing scalding when a human body part contacts it, a scald prevention part 43 is provided on the side of the partition plate 4 facing the steam bath 101. In this embodiment, the scald prevention part 43 includes a plurality of protrusions, and the protrusions are configured to reduce the contact area between the limb and the partition plate 4 when the user's limb touches the partition plate 4. In one embodiment, the protrusion can be a solid column. The solid column has poor thermal conductivity and is relatively thick, which can reduce the risk of the partition plate 4 scalding the user. In this embodiment, the protrusion is a rib plate. The rib plate can be in the shape of a long strip, an arc, a circle, a spiral, etc. While reducing the contact area when the user touches it, it can also form a pattern to improve the aesthetics. For example, in this embodiment, the protrusion includes a plurality of arc-shaped and circular rib plates, which are arranged in a plurality of diffused water ripple shapes. It should be noted that the scald prevention part 43 in this embodiment prevents scalding by reducing the contact area; in other embodiments, the scald prevention part 43 can also be realized by heat insulation means, such as setting heat insulation members, coating heat insulation materials, etc.; in some other embodiments, it can also be that the partition plate 4 is made of heat insulation materials in whole or in part.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the hybrid temperature-controlled steam bath 100 includes a housing 1 and a cover 2 covering the housing 1. An operation panel for operating the steam bath 100 is provided on the cover 2. A recess for supporting the human legs is provided at the upper end of the front side of the housing 1. The housing 1 encloses a chamber, and the housing 1 includes an inner shell 11 and an outer shell 12 located outside the inner shell 11. Please refer to Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the inner shell 11 is a semi-frame shell with an open upper end and front end, and the inner shell 11 forms a part of the wall of the chamber. The flow-dividing convex portion 111 is formed on the wall of the chamber, specifically on the inner surface of the rear wall of the inner shell 11. In other embodiments, the flow-dividing convex portion 111 may also be formed on the partition plate 4. In this embodiment, the flow-dividing convex portion 111 has a certain width and is a hollow rib protruding towards the partition plate 4 and extending in the vertical direction. In other embodiments, the flow-dividing convex portion 111 may also be provided as a thin plate-shaped convex plate. In this embodiment, the flow-dividing convex portion 111 is also provided on the bottom wall of the inner shell 11, that is, each flow-dividing convex portion 111 is L-shaped, and the pair of flow-dividing convex portions 111, that is, two, are arranged substantially in parallel. The flow-dividing convex portion 111 and the flow-blocking convex portion 41 are also arranged substantially in parallel. Of course, in other embodiments, the flow-dividing convex portion 111, the flow-blocking convex portion 41, and between them may not be parallel. For example, a pair of flow-dividing convex portions 111 may be trumpet-shaped that becomes wider or narrower from top to bottom. In this embodiment, the flow-dividing convex portion 111 is a continuous rib in the vertical direction. In other embodiments, it may also be intermittently arranged so that a part of the steam can enter the second channel 1022 through the small openings at the intermittent joints to increase the amount of steam distributed to the second channel 1022. The steam passing over the flow-dividing convex portion 111 in this application includes embodiments where the steam passes through the holes and grooves on the flow-dividing convex portion 111 and passes through the flow-dividing convex portion.

[0050] In this embodiment, the steam temperature adjustment chamber 102 is configured to be suitable for inhaling the low-temperature steam in the steam bath chamber 101 to mix with the high-temperature steam to form the suitable-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam delivery port 61 protrudes into the steam mixing channel and ejects the high-temperature steam from top to bottom. The high-temperature steam is high-pressure steam, which can be ejected independently, and its flow rate and velocity can be independently controlled. It does not rely on the flow of low-temperature air passively, which can make the air mixing smoother, more uniform, and the mixing process more controllable. The pressure of the high-temperature steam can be adjusted by controlling the relationship between the steam generation amount and the discharge amount of the steam generator 6, so that the steam can accumulate in the steam generator 6 to generate pressure. Specifically, it can be achieved by setting the pipe diameter of the steam delivery pipeline and setting controllable valves, etc. For the technical means of realizing the pressurization of the steam, the well-known techniques in the art can be adopted, and the present application does not limit this. In this embodiment, the low-temperature air flow is the low-temperature steam sucked from the steam bath chamber 101. In other embodiments, the low-temperature air flow can also be the external air sucked from outside the steam bath device 100, or part of it is the low-temperature steam sucked from the steam bath chamber 101 and part of it is the air outside the steam bath device 100. In this embodiment, the steam in the steam bath chamber 101 flows in from the bottom up and from both sides, and after fumigating the human body limbs, the temperature decreases; especially at the upper part of the steam bath chamber 101, because it is connected to the outside through the knee position of the human body, the steam temperature here is relatively low. The present application inhales the low-temperature steam into the steam temperature adjustment chamber 102 to mix with the high-temperature steam introduced into the steam temperature adjustment chamber 102 to form the suitable-temperature steam and then input it into the steam bath chamber 101. In this way, the steam in the steam bath chamber 101 can be recycled. Compared with the air inhaled from outside the steam bath device 100 for mixing and temperature adjustment, the low-temperature steam still has relatively high thermal energy that can be utilized, so that the energy consumption of the steam bath device 100 for mixing and temperature adjustment can be reduced.

[0051] In this embodiment, the low-temperature air flow delivery port 403 is located above the high-temperature steam delivery port 61, and the low-temperature air flow flows downward to mix with the high-temperature steam. In this embodiment, although the high-temperature steam is ejected downward, the high-temperature steam still has an upward trend. Especially in some embodiments, when the height of the high-temperature steam delivery port 61 from the bottom outlet 401 is not less than 20 cm, the power for the high-temperature steam to be ejected downward to the bottom outlet 401 is insufficient. In this application, the low-temperature air flow flows downward to mix with the high-temperature steam. On the one hand, it has a good mixing effect, and on the other hand, it further provides power to promote the mixed air flow to flow toward the bottom outlet 401. Further, a fan 5 is arranged at the low-temperature air flow delivery port 403, and the air outlet of the fan 5 faces downward. In this embodiment, the fan 5 is a vortex fan, and its air outlet is formed downward by means of a volute; in other embodiments, the fan 5 can also be set as an axial flow fan, and then the low-temperature air flow delivery port 403 is correspondingly configured to face downward, and the axial flow fan drives the air flow to blow out along the axis. Further, both the fan 5 and the high-temperature steam delivery port 61 are located in the upper half area of the steam mixing channel, so that the steam mixing channel has enough length for the low-temperature air flow and the high-temperature steam to mix, so as to improve the mixing uniformity. In an embodiment of this application, the flow rate of the low-temperature air flow driven by the fan 5 and the flow rate of the high-temperature steam delivered by the high-temperature steam delivery port 61 can be independently controlled. Specifically, both the low-temperature steam and the high-temperature steam are introduced into the first channel 1021 for mixing. A fan 5 for sucking the low-temperature steam and a high-temperature steam delivery port 61 for inputting the high-temperature steam are arranged in the steam temperature adjustment cavity 102. Both the fan 5 and the high-temperature steam delivery port 61 are between the pair of flow dividing convex parts 111. Among them, the fan 5 is arranged above the high-temperature steam delivery port 61, and it drives the low-temperature steam to flow downward to mix with the high-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam has an upward trend, and the low-temperature steam mixes with the high-temperature steam from top to bottom, having a good mixing effect. In this embodiment, both the high-temperature steam delivery port 61 and the air outlet of the fan 5 face downward, so that the low-temperature steam and the high-temperature steam are mixed during the process of flowing downward in the first channel 1021, and a part of them is discharged from the bottom outlet 401, and the other part passes over the flow dividing convex part 111 and the flow blocking convex part 41 and is discharged from the side outlet 402. In this embodiment, the fan 5 is a vortex fan, and its air outlet faces the high-temperature steam delivery port 61. The vortex fan drives the low-temperature steam to enter the air along the axis and blow out along the tangent direction. The air volume is concentrated and the wind speed is high, and it has a good mixing effect when impacting into the high-temperature steam.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 6As shown, a support pedal 13 for supporting the limbs is provided in the steam bath room 101. Through holes are formed in the support pedal 13. The outlet of the first channel 1021, that is, the bottom outlet 401, is located below the support pedal 13. The appropriate-temperature steam discharged from the bottom outlet 401 passes through the through holes and flows upward. In this embodiment, the support pedal 13 is for the user's feet to step on, and a massage part is further provided on the support pedal 13 to massage the soles of the feet. The massage part can be a protrusion, an electric pulse emitter, an electrically controlled massage head, etc., to stimulate the acupoints on the soles of the feet.

[0053] The steam bath device 100 with mixed temperature control further includes a medicinal material storage bin 14 for storing medicinal materials. The medicinal material storage bin 14 is arranged close to the outlet of the first channel 1021. Medicinal materials with health care or therapeutic effects, such as traditional Chinese medicinal materials like mugwort, are stored in the medicinal material storage bin 14. Through the infiltration of steam, their medicinal properties can be better released into the steam to achieve steam fumigation of the human body and promote physical health. In this embodiment, the medicinal material storage bin 14 is arranged in a narrow space below the support pedal 13. The steam output from the bottom outlet 401 enters this narrow space. Due to the blocking effect of the support pedal 13, the steam will form a certain accumulation in the narrow space where the medicinal material storage bin 14 is located, forming a certain air pressure, which is conducive to strengthening the contact between the steam and the medicinal materials and the extraction of the medicinal properties.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the steam bath device 100 with mixed temperature control includes an inner shell 11 enclosing a chamber and an outer shell 12 arranged outside the inner shell 11. A steam generating assembly is arranged between the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12. In this embodiment, the outer shell 12 includes a front shell 121, a rear cover 122, a right shell 123, a left shell 124, and a bottom shell 125. An installation frame 3 is arranged between the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12. The installation frame 3 includes a number of installation cavities separated. The steam generating assembly includes a steam generator 6 and a water tank 7 for supplying water to the steam generator 6. The steam generator 6 and the water tank 7 are installed in different installation cavities. The steam generating assembly further includes a circuit board 8, and the circuit board 8 is also installed in an installation cavity different from the steam generator 6 and the water tank 7. In this way, by installing the steam generator 6, the water tank 7, and the circuit board 8 in separate cavities, the mutual influence of each component can be avoided, ensuring the safety of each component. In this embodiment, the rear cover 122 is provided to be openable and closable. When it is opened, the water tank 7 can be exposed, and when it is closed, the water tank 7 is covered. The water tank 7 is detachably installed and can be removed from or assembled to the installation frame 3 after the rear cover 122 is opened. The detachable setting of the water tank 7 facilitates taking it down to add water.

[0055] When in use, the user sits on the front side of the hybrid temperature-controlled steam bath 100, places the legs in the steam bath chamber 101, starts the hybrid temperature-controlled steam bath 100 to work. The steam generator 6 generates high-temperature steam and inputs it into the steam temperature adjustment chamber 102, where it is mixed with the low-temperature air flow inhaled by the fan 5 to form a suitable-temperature steam. The steam is transported to the steam bath chamber 101 through the first channel 1021 and the second channel 1022. The steam passing through the first channel 1021 also flows through the medicinal material storage bin 14, so that the steam bath chamber 101 generates steam with medicinal properties, thereby realizing the fumigation of the human legs and feet.

[0056] From the above description, it can be seen that the hybrid temperature-controlled steam bath 100 provided by the present application can transport high-temperature steam and low-temperature air flow to the same steam mixing channel and flow in the same direction in the steam mixing channel, making the mixing of the air flow smoother and more uniform.
