Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steam bath devices, in particular to a steam bath device that is convenient for processing and assembly. Background Technique

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and the increasing enhancement of health awareness, the fumigation therapy in traditional medicine has gradually occupied a place in the field of healthcare due to its unique curative effect and safety. The fumigation therapy utilizes the warming effect of high-temperature steam and the penetration of drug components to effectively promote blood circulation in the human body, accelerate metabolism, and thus relieve muscle fatigue, improve skin quality, enhance immunity, and other health benefits. The popularization of this therapy has promoted the rapid development and technological innovation of the fumigation device market.

[0003] However, in the design, manufacture, and application of fumigation devices, especially when facing devices of different scales and usage requirements, how to balance the structural design, production efficiency, and maintenance convenience of the device has become a key problem that needs to be solved urgently by industry technicians. Specifically, for small-sized foot bath devices, due to their limited usage scenarios to the feet and small volume, the integrated shell structure can effectively simplify the production process, facilitate demolding manufacturing, and reduce costs. This type of design is fully reflected in the foot bath device moving device and foot bath device with the publication number CN212368849U, demonstrating its advantages in small-sized products.

[0004] However, when the design of the fumigation device is extended to large steam bath devices that can cover the lower legs and even the knees, the limitations of the integrated design gradually emerge. The fumigation cavity of large steam bath devices is relatively large. If the integrated shell design continues to be used, first, it will significantly increase the size and complexity of the mold, resulting in a sharp rise in the mold manufacturing cost. Second, during the demolding process, due to the large volume and complex structure of the shell, it is extremely easy to have the situation that the product adheres to the mold and is difficult to separate, which not only reduces the production efficiency but also may damage the shell and affect the overall quality of the product. In addition, it also brings inconvenience in the subsequent maintenance process. Once a fault occurs inside the shell or cleaning is required, the entire device often needs to be disassembled, increasing the maintenance difficulty and cost.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a steam bath device that can not only ensure structural stability but also be convenient for assembly, disassembly, and maintenance to solve the existing problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a steam bath device that is convenient for processing and assembly. By dividing the shell assembly into a first shell and a second shell and fitting them together in the front-rear direction, the production process of the steam bath device is simplified, and this design not only reduces the manufacturing difficulty but also improves the production efficiency and assembly flexibility.

[0013] Further, an insertion opening for the legs to extend into is formed at the top of the second housing, and a leg length adaptation mechanism suitable for changing the size of the insertion opening is attached at the insertion opening.

[0014] Further, the material strengths of the first housing and the second housing are different.

[0015] Further, an outer housing is further included. The first housing is received in the outer housing in the front-rear direction, and at least part of the second housing is exposed outside the outer housing. Specifically, a front groove for embedding and cooperating with the second housing is formed at the front side of the joint portion; a rear groove for embedding and cooperating with the outer housing is formed at the rear side of the joint portion.

[0016] Further, a sliding guiding structure is arranged between the outer housing and the first housing to guide the assembly of the two.

[0017] Further, the outer housing includes a left housing and a right housing that are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The rear ends of the left housing and the right housing are spaced apart from each other to form a rear opening, and the rear opening is configured to facilitate the assembly of the steam generation module on the inner housing.

[0018] Further, the steam generation module includes a water tank, a steam generator, an electric control device, and a mounting base. The water tank, the steam generator, and the electric control device are all fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the mounting base is fixedly connected between the left shell and the right shell.

[0019] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present utility model has the following technical effects:

[0037] The following will, with reference to the accompanying drawings, elaborate on some embodiments of the present utility model. Without conflict, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 as shown, please refer to Figures 1 to 9 as shown, the present utility model provides a steam bath device convenient for processing and assembly, including a housing assembly 2, a base 1, and a steam generation module; wherein, the housing assembly 2 includes an outer housing and an inner housing 23. The inner housing 23 defines a fumigation chamber 8. An installation space for installing the steam generation module is formed between the rear side of the inner housing 23 and the outer housing, and a rear opening is formed on the rear side of the outer housing to conveniently assemble the steam generation module onto the inner housing 23. When the steam generation module fails, it can be disassembled and maintained through the rear opening, improving the convenience of use; and the assembly design of the housing assembly 2 is optimized, and the steam generation module adopts a modular design, reducing the assembly difficulty, greatly shortening the assembly time, and improving the convenience of assembly.

[0039] The following will further elaborate on each component of the housing assembly 2:

[0040] Furthermore, as Figure 7As shown, since the inner shell 23 has a relatively large volume, it is inconvenient for mold opening and manufacturing. To solve the above problems, the inner shell 23 in this embodiment includes a first shell 231 and a second shell 232 that are joined together in the front-rear direction, and a fumigation chamber 8 is defined between the two; and for easy demolding, the cross-section of the first shell 231 and / or the second shell 232 in the horizontal direction is U-shaped. By adopting the U-shaped design, the edges of the first shell 231 and / or the second shell 232 have an arc design, improving the demolding quality; preferably, the volume of the cavity defined in the first shell 231 accounts for more than 50% of the volume of the cavity of the fumigation chamber 8. In this embodiment, the ratio of the length dimensions of the first shell 231 and the second shell 232 in the front-rear direction is 2:1 - 5:1, that is, the size of the first shell 231 is larger than that of the second shell 232, which is convenient for distinguishing the first shell 231 and the second shell 232. Preferably, the material strengths of the first shell 231 and the second shell 232 are different. For example, the strength of the first shell 231 is weaker than that of the second shell 232. In this embodiment, the first shell 231 is received in the outer shell in the front-rear direction, and the second shell 232 is at least partially exposed outside the outer shell. In this way, the outer shell can protect the inner shell 23, and the second shell 232 being exposed outside can serve as the front outer wall of the steam bath device. Such a design improves the overall aesthetics of the steam bath device, and the second shell 232 being a part of the outer shell can reduce the covering area of the outer shell, saving manufacturing materials.

[0041] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the first shell 231 is recessed toward the side away from the second shell 232 to form a first chamber, and the second shell 232 is recessed toward the side away from the first shell 231 to form a second chamber. The first chamber and the second chamber together form the fumigation chamber 8; preferably, the ratio of the volume of the first chamber to the volume of the second chamber is 3:1 - 5:1. By optimizing the sizes of the first shell 231 and the second shell 232, the size of the first shell 231 can be adapted to the size of the outer shell, thereby improving the neatness and aesthetics of the surface of the steam bath device. A leg insertion opening for the legs to extend into is formed at the top of the second shell 232, and a leg length adaptation mechanism 12 suitable for changing the size of the leg insertion opening is attached to the leg insertion opening. In this way, the fumigation needs of people with different leg lengths can be met. The leg length adaptation mechanism 12 includes a steam baffle movably arranged at the leg insertion opening, and a biasing spring is also arranged between the steam baffle and the second shell 232. By applying an elastic force to the steam baffle through the biasing spring, when the user's leg extends into the fumigation chamber 8 through the leg insertion opening, the steam baffle will closely adhere to the inner side of the user's thigh or the inner side of the knee joint under the action of the spring, thereby preventing steam leakage and improving the user's fumigation experience.

[0042] The steam bath device further includes a partition plate 6, a circulation fan 7, and a steam outlet pipe installed in the fumigation chamber 8. Since the inner shell 23 is designed with a front-back assembled structure, it greatly facilitates the installation of components such as the partition plate 6, the circulation fan 7, and the steam outlet pipe. Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the steam outlet pipe can cooperate with the steam generation module to deliver high-temperature steam into the fumigation chamber 8. To prevent the high-temperature steam from directly spraying onto the user's lower limbs and scalding the user, it is blocked by the partition plate 6. The partition plate 6 is vertically arranged at the rear side of the fumigation chamber 8 and forms a temperature adjustment chamber at an interval from the rear wall of the fumigation chamber 8. At the same time, the circulation fan 7 can draw the cooled high-temperature steam at the top of the fumigation chamber 8 into the temperature adjustment chamber and mix and adjust the temperature with the high-temperature steam delivered by the steam outlet pipe in the temperature adjustment chamber to ensure a constant temperature in the fumigation chamber 8 and improve the fumigation effect of the steam bath device. To facilitate the assembly of the partition plate 6, the circulation fan 7, and the steam outlet pipe, before assembling the first shell 231 to the second shell 232, the partition plate 6, the circulation fan 7, and the steam outlet pipe are respectively assembled to the rear wall of the first shell 231, improving the convenience of assembling the steam bath device.

[0043] A joint portion 231a is formed at the front edge of the first shell 231. A front groove for embedding and mating with the second shell 232 is formed at the front side of the joint portion 231a; a rear groove for embedding and mating with the outer shell is formed at the rear side of the joint portion 231a to ensure the tightness between the inner shell 23 and the outer shell. Further, the first shell 231 and the second shell 232 are fixedly connected together by screws, and a sealing member such as a sealing ring is arranged at the joint between the two to ensure the sealing of the fumigation chamber 8. The joint portion 231a has bolt holes; during assembly, the screws pass through the bolt holes from the direction facing the second shell 232 and are combined with the threaded grooves on the second shell 232 to prevent the screws from being corroded by steam invasion, and the outer shell is sleeved outside the inner shell 23, which can also shield the screws, ensuring the simple and beautiful appearance of the steam bath device.

[0044] A sliding guiding structure is arranged between the outer shell and the inner shell 23 to guide their assembly. The sliding guiding structure includes a clamping groove 23b and a clamping hook 2a that cooperate with each other. One of them is formed on the inner shell 23, and the other is formed on the outer shell; as Figures 4 to 9As shown, the outer shell includes a left shell 21 and a right shell 22 spaced apart in the left-right direction. A plurality of hooks 2a are respectively provided on the left shell 21 and the right shell 22. A plurality of slots 23b are formed on both sides of the inner shell 23. The interlocking structure of the hooks 2a and the slots 23b ensures the stable connection between the two, improving the assembly convenience and structural stability. Further, both sides of the inner shell 23 have a plurality of guiding protrusions 23a protruding outward, which can strengthen the shell structure and prevent deformation. The slot 23b is formed at one end of the guiding protrusion 23a close to the steam generating module. Further, the guiding protrusions 23a are spaced apart in the height direction, and the lengths of any two adjacent guiding protrusions 23a are different. In this way, the lengths of the respective guiding protrusions 23a change alternately, further optimizing the mechanical support and stability of the inner shell 23 and enhancing the structural strength of the inner shell 23.

[0045] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the rear ends of the left shell 21 and the right shell 22 are spaced apart from each other to form a rear opening, and the rear opening is configured to facilitate the assembly of the steam generating module onto the inner shell 23. The steam generating module includes a water tank 5, a steam generator 4, an electric control device 11, and a mounting base 9. The water tank 5, the steam generator 4, and the electric control device 11 are all fixedly connected to the mounting base 9. The rear ends of the left shell 21 and the right shell 22 both extend toward the middle to partially shield the rear side of the inner shell 23. In this way, the opening width of the rear opening is also made smaller to better clamp the steam generating module. Locking structures 10 are respectively arranged between the mounting base 9 and the left shell 21 and the right shell 22. The locking structure 10 includes a clamping seat 101 and a bolt column 102 that are cooperatively connected. One of the two is arranged on the mounting base 9, and the other is arranged on the left and right shells 22. In this embodiment, the bolt column 102 is arranged on the mounting base 9, the clamping seat 101 is correspondingly arranged on the left and right shells 22, and the clamping seat 101 has a positioning space for receiving the bolt column 102 to facilitate the positioning of the two, and then the two are fixedly connected by bolts. The locking structure 10 is arranged inside the shell assembly 2, thus playing a role of concealment and ensuring the aesthetics of the outside of the shell assembly 2. After the left shell 21 and the right shell 22 are assembled with the mounting base 9, then the whole is slid into the outside of the inner shell 23 through the front opening formed on the front sides of the left shell 21 and the right shell 22.

[0046] The mounting base 9 has a plurality of mounting grooves on the side facing the rear opening, so as to sequentially assemble the steam generator 4, the electric control device 11, and the water tank 5 into the corresponding mounting grooves from the rear opening. As Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the electronic control device 11 uses an integrated circuit board for the circuit control of the steam bath device. During use, the water in the water tank 5 is pumped to the steam generator 4, and then high-temperature steam generated by the steam generator 4 is transported to the fumigation chamber 8 for fumigating the user. The outer shell further includes a rear shell 24 for closing the rear opening, and the rear shell 24 is at least partially movably connected to the mounting base 9 so as to add water to the water tank 5 through the rear opening. This water addition method can be directly adding water to the water tank 5, or removing the water tank 5 from the installation groove, adding water, and then reinstalling it; preferably, the rear shell 24 includes a first rear shell 24a and a second rear shell 24b. The first rear shell 24a is adapted to cover the steam generator 4 and the electronic control device 11, and the second rear shell 24b is adapted to cover the water tank 5. Moreover, the second rear shell 24b is detachably combined with the mounting base 9. Preferably, the second rear shell 24b and the mounting base 9 can be connected by a hinge to realize the opening and closing of the second rear shell 24b, or can be connected in a removable manner such as a card slot 23b for disassembling and assembling the second rear shell 24b to perform the water replenishment operation on the water tank 5.

[0047] It further includes a cover plate 3 attached to the top of the inner shell 23. A joint portion 231a matching the inner shell 23 is formed at the bottom of the cover plate 3, which is adapted to guide the alignment and assembly of the cover plate 3 and the inner shell 23, making the assembly of the two more compact and improving the assembly convenience. As Figures 6 to 9 shown, preferably, after the inner shell 23 is assembled, it can be first fixedly installed on the base 1 and then the cover plate 3 is installed, or it can be first installed with the cover plate 3 and then assembled to the base 1, and the installation order of the two can be arranged by itself; after the inner shell 23, the base 1, and the cover plate 3 are assembled, the left shell 21 and the right shell 22 are respectively fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner shell 23. The left shell 21 and the right shell 22 are spaced apart and a rear opening is formed at their rear ends. The steam generation module can be conveniently assembled with the inner shell 23 through the rear opening to complete the assembly operation of the entire shell assembly 2.
