Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medicinal bath tub accessories, in particular to a water valve assembly for a medicinal bath tub. Background Art
[0002] Dermatology primarily treats a variety of skin conditions, including psoriasis, herpes, rosacea, impetigo, pyogenic infections, scars, ringworm, ichthyosis, underarm odor, acne, folliculitis, and alopecia areata. In addition to traditional oral medications and topical ointments, medicated baths are also a common treatment method used by dermatologists. Typically, herbs and a certain amount of warm water are placed in a bathtub and stirred to mix thoroughly. The patient then enters the bathtub for a soak. When adding warm water to the bathtub, one of the two pipes connected to the valve on one side of the tub is hot water and the other is cold water. This requires a nurse to open both the hot and cold water pipes, place a thermometer in the tub, and adjust the valve according to the water temperature to maintain the desired temperature before allowing the patient to enter the bathtub.
[0003] However, the use of the medicinal bathtub is rather troublesome. Not only is it difficult to clean up the medicinal residue after the medicinal bath, but also someone needs to be watching when adding water to the medicinal bathtub in the early stage of the medicinal bath to observe the water level in the bathtub. This is to prevent the water level from being too high, which will affect the concentration of the medicinal solution and the quality of the medicinal bath, and to avoid overflowing from the bathtub due to excessive water addition. This requires the nurse to keep an eye on the water level at all times, which wastes manpower. Moreover, after the nurse measures the water temperature in the medicinal bathtub with a handheld thermometer, it is necessary to adjust the water outlet temperature of the water valve in time. Since the water outlet temperature of the water valve is difficult to determine, it is necessary to measure the water temperature in the bathtub multiple times and adjust the water valve multiple times to keep the water temperature in the bathtub stable. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inconvenient to adjust the temperature of the water valve. Utility Model Content

[0019] like Figure 1As shown, the utility model discloses a water valve assembly for a medicinal bathtub, which is installed on one side of the upper portion of the bathtub. The assembly includes a mixing valve 1 with a hot water inlet and a cold water inlet, which are connected to the hot and cold water pipes in the wall, respectively. The outlet at the lower end of the mixing valve 1 is connected to a main water pipe 2. A first switch 201 and a second switch 202 are provided at each end of the main water pipe 2. The first switch 201 and the second switch 202 are respectively used to discharge cold water and conditioned warm water. Specifically, when cold water is needed to clean the bathtub, the first switch 201 is opened, the second switch 202 is closed, and the mixing valve 1 is simultaneously turned to the cold water position, allowing cold water to flow out of the first switch 201. When warm water is needed, the first switch 201 is closed, the second switch 202 is opened, and the mixing valve 1 is turned to discharge both cold and hot water simultaneously, with the mixed warm water entering the second switch 202. The cold water is used to clean the bathtub after the medicinal bath, while the warm water is mixed with the medicinal materials for the patient's medicinal bath.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the second switch 202 is connected to a temperature measuring element 6 for measuring the temperature of the water in real time. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the second switch 202. The temperature measuring element 6 is composed of a digital temperature sensor connected to a three-way pipe. The upper end of the three-way pipe is connected to the water outlet of the second switch 202, and the lower end of the three-way pipe is connected to a water supply hose 7. The digital temperature sensor adopts existing technology and will not be described in detail. The lower end of the water supply hose 7 is fixedly connected to a water full stop valve 8. The water full stop valve 8 is placed in the bathtub at the required water level. When the bathtub water level reaches the water full stop valve 8 position, the water buoyancy will close the valve of the water full stop valve 8 and stop the water from flowing out. This facilitates the control of the water level in the medicinal bathtub and prevents water overflow without human supervision.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, a telescopic component 9 is provided on one side of the mixing valve 1. The telescopic component 9 can be fixedly connected to the wall. The telescopic component 9 includes a hollow fixed plate 901 fixedly connected to the wall and a telescopic plate 902 slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 901. The telescopic plate 902 can move horizontally relative to the fixed plate 901. The end of the telescopic plate 902, away from the fixed plate 901, is provided with a clamping groove 903 for clamping the water supply hose 7. The clamping groove 903 is a groove-shaped structure larger than a semicircle. The inner wall of the clamping groove 903 is provided with elastic protrusions or elastic clips, which facilitate clamping the water supply hose 7 while improving durability and maintaining the clamping force after long-term use. The water supply hose 7 is a deformable hose that cannot be flattened. The clamping groove 903 can freely clamp the upper or lower portion of the water supply hose 7. The telescopic plate 902 drives the horizontal movement of the water supply hose 7, thereby adjusting the height and horizontal displacement of the water full stop valve 8 within the bathtub. It can adapt to a variety of water levels of different depths and improve the water level regulation efficiency in the medicinal bathtub.
[0022] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the first switch 201 is connected to a threaded tube 3, the upper end of which is connected to a high-pressure nozzle 4 and a cleaning component 5 that moves axially around the periphery of the high-pressure nozzle 4. The high-pressure nozzle 4 can be hung or clamped to the wall and removed for use when cleaning the bathtub. The periphery of the high-pressure nozzle 4 is provided with at least two sleeves 401 axially parallel to the high-pressure nozzle 4. Of course, more sleeves 401 can be provided. In this embodiment, two sleeves 401 are provided.
[0023] The cleaning component 5 includes a sliding post 501 that is inserted through and slidably connected to the sleeve 401. A fixing ring 502 and a pressing plate 503 are fixedly connected at each end of the sliding post 501. The fixing ring 502 is located on the side where the high-pressure nozzle 4 sprays water. A plurality of bristles 504 are arranged on the outer periphery of the fixing ring 502. The bristles 504 can be used to clean the bathtub wall. The bristles can be conventional hard or soft bristles, and the present invention does not specifically limit them. A spring 505 is connected between the pressing plate 503 and the sleeve 401 and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sliding post 501. The ends of the spring 505 are respectively connected to the pressing plate 503 and the sleeve 401. The inner diameter of the fixing ring 502 is larger than the outer diameter of the high-pressure nozzle 4, so that the fixing ring 502 can move axially around the outer periphery of the high-pressure nozzle 4. By pushing the pressing plate 503, the fixing ring 502 can drive the bristles 504 to move axially along the high-pressure nozzle 4. While the bristles 504 clean the cylinder wall, the high-pressure nozzle 4 sprays water for cleaning. The spraying and cleaning are carried out simultaneously, and the residue on the cylinder wall is cleaned more thoroughly.
[0024] The preferred specific implementation methods and embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above implementation methods and embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention.
