[0035] In some embodiments, a protruding buckle extends vertically from the inner wall of the basin 1 to the massage disc 4. When the massage disc 4 is placed at the bottom of the basin 1, the buckle abuts against the side of the massage disc 4 that is perpendicular to the bottom of the basin 1 to fix the massage disc 4 inside the basin 1.

[0036] Figure 5 This diagram shows a vertical cross-sectional view of the massage disc in the detachable foot bath of this invention. Please refer to it. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transmission mechanism 7 includes a secondary gear 72. A first rotating shaft 433 and a second rotating shaft 434 are disposed within the water channel 41, and the first rotating shaft 433 and the second rotating shaft 434 are interference-fitted with the fixed cover 43. An impeller 6 is disposed on the first rotating shaft 433. The secondary gear 72 is disposed on the second rotating shaft 434. The impeller 6 has teeth that mesh with the secondary gear 72. The transmission mechanism 7 also includes an input gear 74, which is connected to the output shaft 3 of the drive mechanism. The input gear 74 meshes with the secondary gear 72. In this embodiment, the secondary gear 72 is a double gear, which allows the secondary gear 72 to simultaneously engage both the impeller 6 and the input gear 74.

[0037] Preferably, the transmission mechanism 7 further includes an output gear 75. The output gear 75 meshes with the input gear 74 and connects to the massage disc 42, with the output gear 75 and the massage disc 42 connected by screws. Each massage disc 42 is connected to one output gear 75. Adjacent output gears 75 mesh to simultaneously drive multiple massage discs 42. The transmission mechanism 7 uses gear transmission, which is highly efficient, helps save energy, and improves the performance of the device. By selecting an appropriate gear ratio, the transmission mechanism 7 can achieve a wide range of transmission ratios to meet the transmission needs of more application scenarios.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The massage plate 4 is also equipped with a first fixing cover 71. The secondary gear 72 is located between the first fixing cover 71 and the massage plate 4. The first fixing cover 71 is screwed to the massage plate 4 to fix the position of the secondary gear 72.

[0039] In some embodiments, the massage disc 4 is further provided with a second fixing cover 73. The second fixing cover 73 is screwed to the first fixing cover 71. The input gear 74 is also provided with a latch 741. The latch 741 engages with the second fixing cover 73. Specifically, the input gear 74 extends near the surface of the second fixing cover 73 to form a protruding ring, and the latch 741 is located on the outer side of the protruding ring. The second fixing cover 73 has a hole for the protruding ring to engage. After the protruding ring engages with the hole of the second fixing cover 73, the latch 741 hooks the second fixing cover 73. At this time, part of the structure of the second fixing cover 73 is sandwiched between the latch 741 and the main structure of the input gear 74.

[0040] In some embodiments, the massage disc 4 is further provided with a decorative cover 5. The decorative cover 5 covers the fixed cover 43. The decorative cover 5 conceals the fixed cover 43, enhancing the aesthetics of the massage disc 4. Simultaneously, the decorative cover 5 has a water filter hole 52 connected to the water inlet 431. The water filter hole 52 includes several small holes. When water enters the decorative cover 5 along the water filter hole 52, impurities in the water with a volume larger than the diameter of the small holes in the water filter hole 52 are blocked by the water filter hole 52, thus filtering and preventing impurities from entering and accumulating in the water passage 41. At the same time, the decorative cover 5 has a water passage hole 51 connected to the water outlet 432, through which water in the water passage 41 is drained into the basin 1.

[0041] Please refer to the diagram. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The massage plate 4 includes a separate fixed cover 43. A water channel 41 is formed between the fixed cover 43 and the main body of the massage plate 4. The fixed cover 43 has an inlet 431 and an outlet 432 that connect to the water channel 41. When the massage plate 4 is installed inside the basin 1, only the fixed cover 43 needs to be removed to inspect and maintain the sterilizing lamp 11, without having to remove the entire massage plate 4, which facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the foot bath basin.

[0042] In some embodiments, a protective cover 111 is also provided on the basin 1. The protective cover 111 is fitted onto the germicidal lamp 11 to prevent large objects from directly contacting and damaging the germicidal lamp 11. A light-transmitting hole 112 is also provided on the protective cover 111 to allow the light from the germicidal lamp 11 to pass through and sterilize the water passage 41.

[0043] In some embodiments, the basin 1 is further provided with an opening, and an insulating cover 2 is provided at the opening of the basin 1. The insulating cover 2 is hinged to the basin 1. A sensor is provided at the end of the insulating cover 2 away from the hinge position, and a Hall sensor is provided on the basin 1 to sense the magnet, so as to quickly detect whether the insulating cover 2 is closed.

[0044] The specific workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0045] When using the foot bath, the user first opens the heat preservation cover 2 and fixes the massage disc 4 to the bottom of the basin 1. Then, the user starts the heater 12, the sterilizing lamp 11, and the drive mechanism, and then inserts their feet into the basin 1. After the heater 12 is activated, it heats the water in the basin 1. The drive mechanism outputs torque through the output shaft 3, and the torque of the output shaft 3 is transmitted to the impeller 6 along the input gear 74 and the secondary gear 72. This causes the impeller 6 to rotate, and the rotating impeller 6 draws water from the basin 1 into the water channel 41. The water in the water channel 41 is sterilized by the sterilizing lamp 11 and then pushed by the impeller 6 into the basin 1. At the same time, the torque of the output shaft 3 is transmitted to the massage disc 42 along the input gear 74 and the output gear 75. This drives the massage disc 42 to rotate. The massage disc 42 has a textured massage surface, and the rotating massage disc 42 causes this massage surface to press and massage the user's feet.

[0046] When the user is not using the foot bath, first open the heat preservation cover 2 and remove the massage disc 4 from the basin body 1. At this time, the sterilization lamp 11 can directly irradiate the inside of the basin body 1. Then close the heat preservation cover 2 and turn on the sterilization lamp 11 to directly sterilize the inside of the basin body 1.

[0047] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
