[0037] The utility model provides a foot bath.

[0038] In the utility model embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 2 , provides a foot bath 10, wherein the foot bath 10 includes a barrel body 100 and multiple air bag massage components 200, the barrel body 100 is provided with at least one massage groove 130 adapted to the shape of the human calf; an inflation and exhaust component 300, the inflation and exhaust component 300 is connected to the multiple air bag massage components 200.

[0039] The barrel 100, as the main structure of the foot bath 10, provides sufficient support to ensure the stability of the entire device during use. At the same time, it also protects the internal massage groove 130 and airbag massage assembly 200 from external impact and damage. The barrel 100 is designed with space inside for holding foot bath water as the basis for foot massage. Users can pour an appropriate amount of warm water or water with medicinal herbs into the barrel 100 to enjoy the dual effects of soaking and massage.

[0040] The shape of the massage groove 130 closely conforms to the human calf, reducing gaps and discomfort during the massage process, providing better support and stability for the user's calf, and enhancing massage comfort. By adapting the massage groove 130 to the calf's shape, the airbag massage assembly 200 can more accurately target the target muscle groups, achieving a more precise massage effect. The calf-fitting massage groove 130 helps better wrap and compress the calf muscles, promoting blood flow through the muscle tissue, thereby relieving muscle fatigue and tension.

[0041] Multiple airbag massage assemblies 200 correspond to different calf muscle groups, achieving zoned massage of the calf. This allows each muscle group to receive a targeted massage, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the massage. The airbag massage assemblies 200 are typically independently controllable, allowing users to adjust the massage intensity and duration of each airbag according to their needs and preferences, achieving a personalized massage experience. When the airbag massage assemblies 200 expand or contract toward the center of the massage groove 130, they can concentrate the massage force on the calf muscle groups, producing a stronger massage effect, helping to better relieve muscle tension and fatigue.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the foot bath 10 also includes an inflation and exhaust component 300, which is connected to the airbag massage component 200. The inflation and exhaust component 300 is suitable for intermittently inflating and exhausting the airbag massage component 200 to make the airbag massage component 200 expand or contract.

[0043] It is understood that the inflation and exhaust assembly 300, serving as the power source for the airbag massage assembly 200, expands and contracts the airbag by injecting air into it or exhausting air from it. This simulates a real massage technique, applying pressure through changes in air pressure to achieve a massage effect. The inflation and exhaust assembly 300 of the present application can precisely control the inflation and exhaust processes, including the inflation speed, exhaust speed, and duration of inflation and deflation, thereby ensuring that the rhythm and intensity of the massage meet the user's needs.

[0044] In order to better simulate manual massage, the working mode of the inflation and exhaust component 300 of the present application is intermittent, that is, it does not continuously inflate or exhaust the airbag, but does so at a certain frequency and rhythm. This intermittent operation can simulate the pressing and releasing movements similar to the techniques of a masseur, making the massage process more natural and comfortable. By adjusting the frequency and duration of the intermittent operation, users can adjust the intensity and effect of the massage according to their preferences and needs. The dynamic massage effect brought about by intermittent inflation and exhaust can stimulate the calf muscles and acupuncture points, promote blood circulation and lymphatic return, and thus relieve muscle fatigue and tension. At the same time, since the expansion and contraction of the airbag during the massage process is gradual and controllable, the user can experience a gentle and comfortable massage experience.

[0045] The present application provides a massage groove 130 adapted to the shape of the human leg within the barrel 100, and provides a plurality of airbag massage components 200 within the inner periphery of the massage groove 130. The plurality of airbag massage components 200 correspond to different muscle groups of the human calf, and the inflation and exhaust components 300 are connected to the plurality of airbag massage components 200. In this way, the plurality of airbag massage components 200 can perform differentiated massage on the muscle groups in the calf area, thereby improving the massage comfort of the user. At the same time, by controlling the inflation and deflation of each airbag massage component 200 through the inflation and exhaust components, a variety of different massage methods can be achieved according to the needs of the user, thereby improving the applicability and comfort of the device.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the inflation and exhaust assembly 300 includes a deflation valve 330 and an air pump 310. The air pump 310 is connected to the airbag massage assembly 200 via a connecting air pipe 320, and the deflation valve 330 is connected to the airbag massage assembly 200 via a pressure relief air pipe 340. The air pump 310 is connected to multiple airbag massage assemblies 200, and the deflation valve 330 is connected to multiple airbag massage assemblies 200.

[0047] It will be appreciated that the air pump 310 is the power source within the inflation / exhaust assembly 300, responsible for injecting air into the airbag massage assembly 200 to inflate it. The air pump 310 is connected to the airbag massage assembly 200 via a connecting air tube 320. When the air pump 310 is activated, air flows along the connecting air tube 320 into the airbag, gradually inflating it. The operation of the air pump 310 can be controlled by the control system of the foot bath 10, adjusting the inflation speed and duration as needed to achieve the optimal massage effect.

[0048] The air release valve 330 is responsible for exhausting the air in the airbag massage assembly 200, causing the airbag to deflate. The air release valve 330 is connected to the airbag massage assembly 200 via a pressure relief air pipe 340. When air is needed, the air release valve 330 opens, allowing the air in the airbag to flow out through the pressure relief air pipe 340. Similar to the air pump 310, the operation of the air release valve 330 can also be controlled by the foot bath 10 control system, adjusting the exhaust speed and time as needed.

[0049] In actual use, the air pump 310 and the air release valve 330 work together, alternately starting and stopping to achieve intermittent expansion and contraction of the airbag. This dynamic change simulates realistic massage techniques, providing the user with a more comfortable massage experience. The control system precisely controls the operating status of the air pump 310 and the air release valve 330 according to preset programs or user instructions to ensure the desired massage rhythm and intensity.

[0050] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the inflation and exhaust component 300 includes multiple deflation valves 330 and multiple air pumps 310, and any air pump 310 is connected to any airbag massage component 200 in a one-to-one correspondence, and any deflation valve 330 is connected to any airbag massage component 200 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0051] It is understandable that since each airbag massage component 200 is equipped with an independent inflation and exhaust component 300, precise control of each airbag can be achieved. During the massage process, each airbag can independently expand and contract according to the preset program or the user's operating instructions, thereby providing a more personalized and precise massage experience. The one-to-one correspondence setting also allows the user to independently adjust the massage intensity and time of each airbag. For example, if the user feels that the muscles in a certain area are particularly tense or fatigued, the massage effect can be enhanced by increasing the inflation speed and duration of the corresponding airbag; conversely, if the massage intensity in a certain area feels too strong, the inflation speed can be appropriately reduced or the massage time can be shortened. Since each airbag can work independently, different massage modes and programs can be flexibly combined according to different massage needs and user preferences.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, the inflation and exhaust components 300 may also correspond to multiple airbag massage components 200 for group control, which is not particularly limited here.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 According to one embodiment of the present invention, at least one airbag massage component 200 is provided with a massage protrusion 240, and the massage protrusion 240 is provided on the outer side of the airbag massage component 200 facing the human leg.

[0054] It is understood that the design of the massage protrusions 240 enables them to act more directly and more concentratedly on the user's muscles and acupuncture points when the airbags are inflated. The localized pressure stimulation helps promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension and fatigue, and may bring a deeper massage effect.

[0055] Optionally, the massage protrusions 240 can achieve diversified massage effects by providing massage protrusions 240 of different shapes, sizes and distributions.

[0056] Reference Figure 3 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of airbag massage components 200 include at least two of the inner leg airbags 210 , the outer leg airbags 220 and the calf airbags 230 .

[0057] It is understood that by including the airbag massage assembly 200 for multiple areas such as the inner leg, outer leg, and calf, the foot bath 10 of this embodiment can achieve full coverage of the user's calf and surrounding areas. Full coverage ensures a comprehensive and balanced massage effect, helping to relieve fatigue and tension in the entire calf.

[0058] Different types of airbag massage assemblies 200 can provide targeted massages for different areas of the calf. For example, the inner leg airbag 210 may focus on massaging the meridians and muscles of the inner calf, while the calf airbag 230 may be more focused on relieving calf soreness and tension. Targeted massage can more precisely meet the user's massage needs and enhance the massage effect. The inclusion of multiple airbag massage assemblies 200 allows users to flexibly combine them according to their needs and preferences.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 According to one embodiment of the present invention, two massage grooves 130 are provided on the barrel body, and the foot bath 10 includes two groups of massage units, which are respectively arranged in correspondence with the massage grooves 130, and each group of massage units includes multiple airbag massage components 200.

[0060] As you can understand, the two massage units each massage the left and right calves. Because each person's left and right calves have symmetry and differences (such as muscle tension and fatigue levels), the two independent massage units can adapt to these differences to provide a personalized massage experience. Users can adjust the intensity, rhythm, and pattern of each massage unit individually to achieve the optimal massage effect based on their personal preferences.

[0061] The two massage units work simultaneously, massaging both the left and right calves, thus improving the efficiency of the massage. Users do not need to wait for one calf to be massaged before massaging the other, saving time and energy.

[0062] In some embodiments, the airbag massage assembly 200 and the barrel body 100 are detachably connected.

[0063] It is understood that the detachable connection between the airbag massage assembly 200 and the barrel body 100 allows the user to freely combine and replace different massage assemblies according to actual needs. For example, the user can choose airbag massage assemblies 200 of different shapes, sizes, and massage effects according to personal preferences or physical conditions, thereby providing a more personalized massage experience.

[0064] The detachable design allows the airbag massage assembly 200 to be taken out separately for cleaning and maintenance, thereby maintaining the hygiene of the foot bath 10 and extending its service life.

[0065] In some embodiments, the barrel body 100 has a foot bath cavity 110 , and the foot bath 10 further includes a foot massage component, which is disposed at the bottom of the foot bath cavity 110 .

[0066] It is understandable that the interior of the barrel 100 is designed with a foot bath chamber 110 for accommodating the user's feet and calves. The size and shape of the foot bath chamber 110 should ensure that the user can comfortably place his feet when in use and allow water or foot bath liquid to fully cover and soak the feet.

[0067] The foot massage component is located at the bottom of the foot bath chamber 110, in direct contact with the user's feet. The foot massage component can include a variety of massage elements, such as rollers, massage balls, and vibrators, which act on the soles and sides of the user's feet in different ways to simulate the effects of manual massage, help relieve foot fatigue, and promote blood circulation.

[0068] The foot massage assembly is combined with the airbag massage assembly 200 to form a full-scale, multi-level massage experience. While the user enjoys the comfortable massage of the calf by the airbag massage assembly 200, they can also feel the precise massage of the sole of the foot by the foot massage assembly.

[0069] In one embodiment, the barrel body 100 further includes a barrel body and a massage base, the massage base is detachably connected to the barrel body, and the massage groove 130 is provided on the massage base.

[0070] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the massage groove 130 and the airbag massage component 200 are arranged on the massage base. By detachably connecting the massage base to the barrel body, the user can separate the entire massage base from the barrel body 100 when needed. The user can adjust the massage position of the airbag massage component 200 as needed, such as different positions of the calf or thigh, to meet the different needs of the user and improve the applicability of the device.

[0071] In one embodiment, one of the barrel body and the massage base is provided with a bayonet, and the other is provided with a buckle, and the massage base and the barrel body are connected by snapping the buckle with the bayonet.

[0072] It is understood that the massage base can have several clips on the edge, while the barrel body has a corresponding number of clips. Conversely, the barrel body can have several clips on the edge, while the massage base has a corresponding number of clips. During installation, the user simply aligns the clips of the massage base with the clips of the barrel body and gently presses down. The clips will naturally snap into place, forming a secure connection. When disassembly is required, simply lift the massage base to separate it from the barrel body 100. This not only simplifies the installation and disassembly process, but also ensures a secure connection between the massage base and the barrel body 100.

[0073] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the barrel body 100 also has a foot bathing port 120 connected to the foot bathing cavity 110, and the foot bath 10 also includes a surface cover assembly 400, which is movably provided on the foot bathing port 120, and the surface cover assembly 400 is suitable for movably opening or closing the foot bathing port 120.

[0074] It is understandable that the footbath opening 120 opened on the barrel body 100 is a passage connecting the outside with the footbath cavity 110, allowing the user to put his feet into the footbath cavity 110. The size and shape of the footbath opening 120 should be spacious enough so that the user can easily put his feet in and out, while maintaining sufficient sealing to prevent water from splashing out.

[0075] The cover assembly 400 is movable and can open or close the foot bath opening 120 as needed. When the user needs to put his feet into the foot bath cavity 110, the cover assembly 400 can be opened; when the foot bath is completed, the cover assembly 400 can be covered to keep the foot bath cavity 110 clean and hygienic.

[0076] Optionally, an operation panel or control buttons may be provided on the face cover assembly 400 so that the user can quickly control the face cover assembly 400 according to needs.

[0077] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and are intended to be encompassed by the claims of the present invention.
