[0038] As existing smart foot baths become more widespread, users have increasingly higher expectations for the product experience. However, the inside of the foot bath tub is mostly a humid environment, which easily breeds bacteria and can lead to infections. Including a separate sterilization function inside the foot bath tub would increase its size and manufacturing cost.
[0039] The following reference Figures 1-6 The foot bath device provided by the present utility model is illustrated through specific embodiments and application scenarios.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a foot bath device 10, which includes a face cover 200, a base 300, and a sterilization module 400. The base 300 is installed on the face cover 200 and surrounds the face cover 200 to form an installation cavity 310. The base 300 is provided with an inlet hole 320 communicating with the installation cavity 310. The side of the base 300 facing the face cover 200 is also provided with a sealing groove 350 surrounding the inlet hole 320. The sterilization module 400 includes a sterilization lamp assembly and a sealing element 430. The sterilization lamp assembly is installed on the side of the base 300 facing the face cover 200 and protrudes from the inlet hole 320 and the sealing groove 350. The sealing element 430 is disposed in the sealing groove 350 and abuts against the sterilization lamp assembly and the base 300.
[0041] The foot bath 10 may also include a tub body 100, the tub body 100 having a foot bath cavity 110 and an opening 120 communicating with the foot bath cavity 110, a cover 200 covering the opening 120, and a base 300 mounted on the side of the cover 200 facing the tub body 100.
[0042] The foot bath cavity 110 is located inside the tub 100 and is designed specifically to accommodate the user's feet and provide a foot bath environment, ensuring that the user can comfortably place their feet during use.
[0043] An opening 120 is located at the top of the tub 100 for placing the face cover 200. The opening 120 allows the user to easily place their feet into the foot bath cavity 110.
[0044] The cover 200 is movably mounted on the opening 120 of the barrel 100 via a hinge or other mechanism, and can be opened or closed. This allows the user to easily place their feet inside and close the cover after use, while also providing necessary shielding and protection for the sterilization module 400.
[0045] The sterilization module 400 includes a germicidal lamp assembly and a seal 430. The germicidal lamp assembly can be a UV lamp or other forms of ultraviolet lamp, and the ultraviolet light emitted by the lamp source can effectively kill bacteria and viruses.
[0046] The base 300 has a mounting cavity 310 on the side opposite to the incident surface for mounting the sterilization module 400, thus concealing the sterilization module 400 for both aesthetic purposes and protection of the sterilization lamp 410 from external factors. The sterilization lamp 410 is installed within the mounting cavity 310 of the base 300, ensuring its secure fixation to the base 300 and facilitating maintenance and replacement.
[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the base 300 may also be part of the cover 200, and the mounting cavity 310 may be used to mount other components of the cover 200, such as control components or display components, which can further improve the fitting ability between the sterilization module 400 and the cover 200, and provide a mounting position for the sterilization module 400 without adding additional components to the cover 200.
[0048] An inlet hole 320 is provided on the base 300, penetrating the bottom surface and the incident surface of the mounting cavity 310. The inlet hole 320 allows the ultraviolet light emitted by the sterilization module 400 to pass through the base 300 and directly irradiate the inside of the foot bath cavity 110. The sterilization module 400 is installed inside the mounting cavity 310 of the base 300, corresponding to the inlet hole 320. This ensures that the sterilization module 400 is securely fixed to the base 300, while ensuring that the ultraviolet light can directly penetrate the inlet hole 320 and irradiate the inside of the foot bath cavity 110. By concealing the sterilization module 400 within the mounting cavity 310 of the base 300, direct exposure of ultraviolet light is avoided, increasing safety during use. Furthermore, the design of the base 300 makes the entire sterilization module 400 neater and more aesthetically pleasing, preventing the exposure of the sterilization lamp 410 from affecting the product's appearance.
[0049] The germicidal lamp assembly is installed on the side of the base 300 facing the cover 200 and protrudes from the inlet hole 320 and the sealing groove 350, thereby making the germicidal module 400 easier to disassemble and assemble as a whole.
[0050] The base 300, facing the cover 200, also has a sealing groove 350 surrounding the injection hole 320; a sealing element 430 is circumferentially disposed within the sealing groove 350 and seals against the base 300 and the germicidal lamp assembly. The sealing element 430 prevents moisture and dust from entering the germicidal module 400, ensuring the safe operation of the germicidal module 400. In this embodiment, the tight contact between the sealing element 430 and the germicidal lamp assembly ensures the airtightness between the germicidal lamp assembly and the base 300, preventing external contaminants from entering the germicidal module 400.
[0051] This application achieves a sterilization effect by installing the sterilization module 400 within the mounting cavity 310 formed by the base 300 and the cover 200, and irradiating the foot bath cavity 110 through the injection hole 320. Since the sterilization module 400 is embedded inside the cover 200, rather than being independently installed in other parts of the foot bath 10, it does not occupy additional space in the foot bath 10, maintaining its original appearance and size. Therefore, the sterilization function can be achieved without increasing the size of the foot bath 10. Furthermore, the sterilization module 400 protrudes from the injection hole 320 and the sealing groove 350, making the sterilization module 400 easier to install and remove.
[0052] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the sterilization module 400 is centrally located on the base 300.
[0053] It is understood that in this embodiment, by centrally placing the sterilization module 400 on the base 300, the ultraviolet light irradiated by the sterilization module 400 into the foot bath cavity 110 through the entrance hole 320 can evenly irradiate every part of the foot bath cavity 110, making the sterilization effect of the foot bath device 10 more uniform and more thorough.
[0054] In some embodiments, the foot bath 10 further includes an electronic control component mounted on the side of the base 300 facing the cover 200, and a sterilization module 400 disposed between the base 300 and the electronic control component.
[0055] It is understood that, in this embodiment, the foot bath 10 can be equipped with an electronic control component for controlling its own operation within the mounting cavity 310 of the base 300, making the spatial arrangement of the mounting cavity 310 more compact and improving the space utilization rate of the mounting cavity 310. Alternatively, the sterilization module 400 of this application can be directly embedded in the existing mounting position of the electronic control component, reducing the need to set up a separate mounting structure for the sterilization module 400 and improving the integration and aesthetics of the foot bath 10.
[0056] Refer to 3 to Figure 6 In one embodiment, the germicidal lamp assembly includes a germicidal lamp 410 and a light guide 420. In the direction from the base 300 to the cover 200, the seal 430, the light guide 420 and the germicidal lamp 410 abut against each other in sequence, and the light of the germicidal lamp 410 enters the entrance hole 320 through the light guide 420.
[0057] It is understood that in this embodiment, the sealing member 430, the light guide 420, and the germicidal lamp 410 are sequentially abutted together in the direction from the base 300 to the cover 200, and the light from the germicidal lamp 410 enters the entrance hole 320 through the light guide 420. Thus, after the ultraviolet light is emitted from the germicidal lamp 410, it passes through the light guide 420 and then through the entrance hole 320 to irradiate the inside of the foot bath cavity 110. The light guide 420 ensures that the ultraviolet light is evenly scattered inside the foot bath cavity 110, improving the uniformity and efficiency of sterilization. The light guide 420 also protects the germicidal lamp 410, preventing it from being directly exposed to the environment inside the foot bath cavity 110 and reducing the impact of dust and moisture on the germicidal lamp 410. The germicidal lamp 410 may include lamp beads and a lamp board, etc.
[0058] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the base 300 is provided with a plurality of limiting steps 330, which are spaced apart and surround the outside of the sealing groove 350, and the light guide cover 420 is limited between the plurality of limiting steps 330.
[0059] Understandably, multiple limiting steps 330 are spaced apart and surround the outside of the sealing groove 350, with the light guide cover 420 positioned between these limiting steps 330. The multiple limiting steps 330 ensure that the light guide cover 420 is securely engaged with the base 300, preventing it from moving or falling off during use. They also facilitate the removal of the light guide cover 420 from between the limiting steps 330. Furthermore, the design of the multiple limiting steps 330 helps ensure precise alignment between the light guide cover 420 and the entrance hole 320, guaranteeing that ultraviolet light can evenly pass through the light guide cover 420 and irradiate the inside of the foot bath cavity 110.
[0060] Reference Figure 6 In one embodiment, a guide slope 340 is provided on the inner periphery of the limiting step 330.
[0061] It is understandable that by providing a guide slope 340 on the inner periphery of the limiting step 330, the light guide cover 420 is guided during installation, thereby facilitating the alignment and installation of the light guide cover 420 and improving the installation efficiency of the light guide cover 420.
[0062] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the sterilization module 400 further includes a mounting base 440, through which the sterilization lamp 410 is fixedly mounted on the base 300.
[0063] Understandably, the mounting base 440 is installed within the mounting cavity 310 to secure the germicidal lamp 410. The mounting base 440 ensures that the germicidal lamp 410 is firmly installed within the mounting cavity 310, preventing it from moving or falling off during use. This embodiment, through the design of the mounting base 440, simplifies the installation and maintenance process of the germicidal lamp 410, making it easier for users or technicians to replace or repair it.
[0064] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the bottom of the mounting cavity 310 is provided with at least one fixing hole 360 along the outer periphery of the incident hole 320, and the fixing seat 440 is provided with a connecting hole 442 corresponding to the fixing hole 360. The fastener fixes the fixing seat 440 to the bottom of the mounting cavity 310 through the connecting hole 442 and the fixing hole 360.
[0065] It is understood that in this embodiment, at least one fixing hole 360 is provided at the bottom of the mounting cavity 310 along the outer periphery of the entrance hole 320. The fixing hole 360 is used to mate with the connecting hole 442 on the mounting base 440. The mounting base 440 is provided with a connecting hole 442 corresponding to the fixing hole 360, and the connecting hole 442 matches the fixing hole 360 at the bottom of the mounting cavity 310. By using fasteners (such as screws) passing through the connecting hole 442 and engaging with the fixing hole 360, it can be ensured that the mounting base 440 is securely installed at the bottom of the mounting cavity 310. The design of the fixing hole 360 and the connecting hole 442 makes the installation and removal of the mounting base 440 simpler and more convenient for user maintenance.
[0066] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the end face of the fixing base 440 opposite to the bottom of the mounting cavity 310 is provided with a limiting groove 441, and the connecting hole 442 is provided in the limiting groove 441. The germicidal lamp 410 is provided with a mounting hole 411 corresponding to the connecting hole 442. The fastener passes through the mounting hole 411, the connecting hole 442 and the fixing hole 360 in sequence to fix the germicidal lamp 410 and the fixing base 440 to the base 300.
[0067] Understandably, the limiting groove 441 is located on the end face of the fixed base 440 opposite to the bottom of the mounting cavity 310. The limiting groove 441 ensures that the germicidal lamp 410 is accurately positioned on the fixed base 440, preventing it from moving or misaligning during use. The limiting groove 441 has a connecting hole for engaging with the mounting hole 411 on the germicidal lamp 410. A connecting hole 442 is located within the limiting groove 441 for engaging with the fixing hole 360 and the mounting hole 411 on the germicidal lamp 410. The germicidal lamp 410 has mounting holes 411 corresponding to the connecting holes, and these holes match the connecting holes on the fixed base 440. By sequentially passing fasteners (such as screws) through the mounting holes 411, connecting holes, and fixing holes 360, the germicidal lamp 410 can be securely mounted on the fixed base 440. The design of the connecting holes and mounting holes 411 simplifies the installation and removal of the germicidal lamp 410, facilitating user maintenance.
