Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of health care equipment, and particularly to a steam bath machine. 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. Adding the steam fumigation function can heat and stimulate the human legs, improving the comfort of users.

[0003] To avoid scalding users with high-temperature steam, the steam needs to be cooled down before being delivered to the human legs. In an existing technology, such as the solution disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN210748931U, the steam is cooled by mixing it with the cold air outside the foot bath device and then delivered 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, on the one hand, the speed at which the steam fills the entire foot bath basin is relatively slow, and on the other hand, the steam gradually cools down during the process of rising from the soles of the feet. Thus, for the steam that feels at a suitable temperature on the feet, when it rises to the legs, the user will feel that the steam has become cooler. That is, due to the slow filling speed of the steam and the relatively uneven steam temperature in the vertical direction in this existing solution, the fumigation effect felt on the legs is not obvious, affecting the comfortable experience of users.

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

[0049] 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.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9As shown, the present application discloses a steam bath machine 100, 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 machine 100 is mainly used to fumigate the limbs of the human body. For example, in one embodiment, the steam bath machine 100 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 machine 100 can be used to fumigate the upper limbs of the human body, that is, the arms and hands. The steam bath machine 100 includes a steam bath chamber 101 and a steam temperature adjustment chamber 102 that is 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 adjustment 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 from person to person and from environment to environment. For example, in one embodiment, the temperature of the suitable-temperature steam is between 30°C and 60°C. The steam temperature adjustment chamber 102 includes a first steam channel 1021, a second steam channel 1022, and at least a pair of flow-dividing convex parts 111. Among them, the first steam channel 1021 is adapted to configure the suitable-temperature steam to be input from the bottom of the steam bath chamber 101; the second steam 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 steam channel 1021 is defined between the pair of flow-dividing convex parts 111, and the second steam channel 1022 is defined outside the flow-dividing convex parts 111. When the suitable-temperature steam flows in the first steam channel 1021, it can partially cross the flow-dividing convex parts 111 and enter the second steam channel 1022.

[0051] The steam bath machine 100 provided by the present application 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 of 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 steam 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 faster speed impacting the middle and upper parts of the steam bath chamber 101 to the user; 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 steam channel 1022 be adjusted more appropriately, avoiding the body discomfort caused by the insufficient or uneven temperature adjustment of the steam, resulting in overheated, overcooled or uneven hot and cold steam.

[0052] In this embodiment, a flow-blocking convex portion 41 for slowing down the flow of the suitable-temperature steam in the second steam channel 1022 is further provided in the second steam channel 1022. The suitable-temperature steam in the second steam channel 1022 passes over the flow-blocking convex portion 41 and is input into the steam bath chamber 101. The flow-dividing convex portion 111 and the flow-blocking convex portion 41 are arranged in an alternating manner to construct a zigzag flow channel. By further providing the flow-blocking convex portion 41 in the second steam channel 1022, which constructs a zigzag flow channel with the flow-dividing convex portion 111, the flow rate of the steam input from the second steam channel 1022 into the steam bath chamber 101 can be further slowed down, and further turbulent flow mixing can be achieved, avoiding the rapid impact of the steam flow and the insufficient or uneven temperature distribution of the steam, resulting in discomfort caused by overheating, overcooling or uneven hot and cold of the steam. A diversion inclined surface 411 for guiding the suitable-temperature steam to flow out of the second steam channel 1022 is provided on the flow-blocking convex portion 41.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the steam bath machine 100 has a cavity surrounded by several walls and a partition 4 disposed in the cavity. The partition 4 divides the cavity into the steam bath chamber 101 and the steam temperature control cavity 102. By providing the partition 4 in the cavity to divide it into two chambers, namely the steam bath chamber 101 and the steam temperature control cavity 102, the structure is simple. Specifically, the cavity has a front wall facing the user side during use and a rear wall away from the user side. The partition 4 is disposed close to the rear wall and has a certain distance from the rear wall to form the steam temperature control cavity 102 therebetween. It can be understood that the partition means that the steam bath chamber 101 and the steam temperature control cavity 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 cavity 102 and the steam bath chamber 101 are in fluid communication with each other, and air can flow in and out between the two.

[0054] Please refer to together Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the partition 4 is integrally plate-shaped, and the flow-blocking convex portion 41 is provided near its left and right edges. In this embodiment, the flow-blocking convex portion 41 has a certain width and is a hollow convex rib 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 portion 41 at the same time. Since the flow-blocking convex portion 41 is closer to the rear wall, several screw posts can be provided on the flow-blocking convex portion 41 or at the position on the rear wall opposite to the flow-blocking convex portion 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 portion 41 can also be provided as a thin plate-shaped convex plate.

[0055] There is a distance between the left and right side edges of the partition plate 4 and the rear wall to form a side outlet 402 for the steam in the second steam channel 1022 to flow into the steam bath room 101. The side outlet 402 is the outlet of the second steam channel 1022, which is a long strip-shaped outlet extending vertically. 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 room 101; in this way, steam can enter the steam bath room 101 from positions such as the upper part, the middle part, and the lower-middle part on the side, so that the steam can fill the steam bath room 101 faster, and steam enters the steam bath room 101 at various heights on the side, avoiding the feeling of steam stratification. In this embodiment, the side outlet 402 extends from the upper end of the partition plate 4 to the lower end of the partition plate 4. In this embodiment, at least part of the area of the long strip-shaped outlet is provided with grid strip plates 42, and a number of grid holes are opened on the grid strip plates 42. The arrangement of the grid strip plates 42 is beneficial to the uniform dispersion of steam flowing out through the grid holes.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the steam bath machine 100 further includes a temperature measuring element 81 for detecting the temperature of the appropriate-temperature steam, and the temperature measuring element 81 is arranged in the second steam channel 1022. Since the steam entering the second steam channel 1022 is blocked and turbulently flowed by the flow dividing convex part 111, its mixing is relatively sufficient. By arranging the temperature measuring element 81 in the second steam channel 1022, the temperature measurement is more accurate. In this embodiment, the temperature measuring element 81 is arranged outside the flow blocking convex part 41, so that the steam measured by the temperature measuring element 81 is the steam turbulently flowed through the zigzag flow channel formed by the flow dividing convex part 111 and the flow blocking convex part 41. The steam at this place is more fully mixed and the temperature measurement is more accurate. The temperature measuring element 81 is a temperature measuring probe, which protrudes into the steam temperature regulating chamber 102 through the rear wall of the chamber.

[0057] The lower end of the partition plate 4 is provided with a bottom outlet 401 for the steam in the first steam channel 1021 to flow into the steam bath room 101. The bottom outlet 401 is the outlet of the first steam channel 1021. In this embodiment, the bottom outlet 401 is formed by a distance between the middle part of the lower end edge of the partition plate 4 and the bottom wall of the chamber. The partition plate 4 is provided with an air suction port 403 near the upper end. The air suction port 403 communicates the steam bath room 101 and the steam temperature regulating chamber 102, so as to suck the steam in the upper part of the steam bath room 101 into the steam temperature regulating chamber 102 to be adjusted into appropriate-temperature steam, and then input it into the steam bath room 101 from the bottom outlet 401 and the side outlet 402.

[0058] Since high-temperature steam is introduced into the steam temperature adjustment chamber 102, in order to prevent the partition 4 from being too hot and causing scalding when contacting a human body part, a heat insulation part 43 is provided on the side of the partition 4 facing the steam bath chamber 101. In this embodiment, the heat insulation part 43 includes a plurality of protrusions, and the protrusions are configured to reduce the contact area between the limb and the partition 4 when the user's limb touches the partition 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 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 wave shapes. It should be noted that the heat insulation part 43 in this embodiment prevents scalding by reducing the contact area; in other embodiments, the heat insulation 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 4 is wholly or partly made of heat insulation materials.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the steam bath machine 100 includes a housing 1 and a cover body 2 covering the housing 1. The cover body 2 is provided with an operation panel for operating the steam bath machine 100 to work. A concave part 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. The housing 1 includes an inner housing 11 and an outer housing 12 located outside the inner housing 11. Please refer to Figures 7 to 9As shown, in this embodiment, the inner shell 11 is a semi-frame shell with openings at the upper end and the 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, which extends 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 and the flow-blocking convex portion 41 may not be parallel to each other or to themselves, for example, the pair of flow-dividing convex portions 111 may be in the shape of a trumpet that widens or narrows 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 steam passage 1022 through the small openings at the intermittent connection points to increase the amount of steam distributed to the second steam passage 1022. The steam passing over the flow-dividing convex portion 111 described in this application includes embodiments in which the steam passes through the holes and grooves on the flow-dividing convex portion 111 and passes through the flow-dividing convex portion.

[0060] In this embodiment, the steam temperature regulation 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 steam in the steam bath chamber 101 flows in from the bottom up and from both sides, and after fumigating the limbs of the human body, the temperature decreases; especially near the upper part of the steam bath chamber 101, since it is in communication with the outside through the knee position of the human body, the steam temperature here is relatively low. In this application, the low-temperature steam is inhaled into the steam temperature regulation chamber 102 to mix with the high-temperature steam introduced into the steam temperature regulation chamber 102 to form the suitable-temperature steam and then input 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 the outside of the steam bath machine 100, the low-temperature steam still has relatively high thermal energy that can be utilized, so that the energy consumption of the steam bath machine 100 can be reduced. In other embodiments, the steam temperature regulation chamber 102 may also be temperature-regulated in other ways, such as by electrically heating the inhaled low-temperature steam or by using a refrigerant heat exchange method, etc.

[0061] In this embodiment, both the low-temperature steam and the high-temperature steam are introduced into the first steam channel 1021 for mixing. Specifically, a fan 5 for sucking in the low-temperature steam and a steam discharge port 61 for inputting the high-temperature steam are provided in the steam temperature adjustment chamber 102. Both the fan 5 and the steam discharge port 61 are between the pair of diversion convex portions 111. Among them, the fan 5 is disposed above the steam discharge port 61, and it drives the low-temperature steam to flow from top to bottom to mix with the high-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam has an upward tendency, and the low-temperature steam mixes with the high-temperature steam from top to bottom, resulting in a better mixing effect. In this embodiment, both the steam discharge 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 from top to bottom in the first steam channel 1021, and a part is discharged from the bottom outlet 401, and another part passes over the diversion convex portion 111 and the flow blocking convex portion 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 steam discharge port 61. The vortex fan drives the low-temperature steam to enter the air axially and exit tangentially. 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.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 6 As shown, a support pedal 13 for supporting the limbs is provided in the steam bath room 101.

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. Thus, 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 configured 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 onto 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.

[0065] When in use, the user sits on the front side of the steam bath machine 100, places the legs in the steam bath chamber 101, starts the steam bath machine 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 suitable-temperature steam. The suitable-temperature steam is transported to the steam bath chamber 101 through the first steam channel 1021 and the second steam channel 1022. The steam passing through the first steam 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 user's legs and feet.

[0066] From the above description, it can be seen that the steam bath machine 100 provided by the present application enables a part of the suitable-temperature steam to be input from the bottom of the steam bath chamber 101 and a part to be input from the middle or upper region 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 regions in the steam bath chamber 101, and improve the fumigation effect and comfort for the body.

[0067] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
