Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom technology, and in particular to an integrated cooling and heating bathtub. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the bathroom industry, people are giving bathtubs more functions, such as automatic water supply and drainage, automatic heating, or automatic water level detection—features that are now quite common. Furthermore, with the rapid rise of the smart home industry, people have increasingly higher demands for the diverse functions of home products. This necessitates that manufacturers design appropriate hardware for bathtubs to meet the demands of automation.

[0003] Currently, Chinese patent CN219538137U discloses an integrated cooling and heating bathtub system. This system uses a single circulating water pipe module for water return and outlet within the bathtub. A cooling module and a heating module are connected in series along the flow path of this water pipe module. An electrical control panel switches between the cooling and heating modules to allow them to operate independently, cooling or heating the water flowing through the water pipe module. By integrating the cooling and heating functions and supplying water through the same piping system, the overall structure is more compact, simplifying the control and piping structures, and providing a more rational installation space layout, making it particularly suitable for installation in small bathtubs.

[0004] However, in actual use, the integrated cooling or heating module of the bathtub generates a lot of heat and noise when it is working. In order to quickly dissipate this heat outside the bathtub and improve the working efficiency of the cooling or heating module, a cooling fan is usually installed to accelerate the heat dissipation. This results in the cooling fan generating a lot of noise when it is working, which is further amplified by the noise generated by the cooling or heating module. Moreover, since the space in a typical household bathroom is small, the impact of the noise is more obvious, resulting in a very poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to address the technical deficiencies mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated heating and cooling bathtub, which aims to solve the problems of poor heat dissipation and high noise in existing heating and cooling bathtubs during use, thereby providing users with a quiet and comfortable space when taking a bath, and thus improving the user's comfort and experience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

An aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel is installed in the sound insulation cavity, and sound insulation cloth is installed between the two sides of the aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel and the panels and sleeves.

[0008] Preferably, the integrated cooling and heating unit includes a casing, a refrigeration module disposed within the casing, and a heating module disposed in series with the refrigeration module. The casing is located on one side of the bathtub body and is fixedly connected to a fixed frame. The refrigeration module and the heating module are respectively connected to the bathtub body by water pipe modules, and the refrigeration module and the heating module are disposed in series on the flow path of the water pipe modules.

[0009] Preferably, the chassis is composed of multiple sheet metal panels spliced ​​together, and the sheet metal panels on the left and right sides are respectively provided with grilles and cooling fans.

[0010] Preferably, a heat exchanger is connected between the cooling module and the heating module. The heat exchanger is connected to the flow path of the water module, and the circuit of the heat exchanger is connected to both the cooling module and the heating module.

[0011] Preferably, a water circulation filtration system is also connected between the water pipe module and the bathtub body.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a more detailed description of an embodiment of an integrated cooling and heating bathtub.

[0029] A type of integrated cooling and heating bathtub, such as Figure 1 , 2 and Figure 6As shown, the bathtub includes a bathtub body 1, a tub base 2 for placing the bathtub body 1, and a combined cooling and heating unit 4 installed in the tub base 2 for cooling or heating. The bathtub body 1 is embedded in the tub base 2, and the water inlet end of the bathtub body 1 is connected to the combined cooling and heating unit 4. The tub base 2 includes a fixed frame 21 for supporting and installing the bathtub body 1 and the combined cooling and heating unit 4, a sleeve 22 surrounding and connected to the four side walls of the fixed frame 21, and a cabinet 23 installed outside the sleeve 22. The cabinet 23 is composed of multiple panels 231 and columns 232 spliced ​​together. Multiple heat dissipation vents 233 are opened on the panels 231 and the sleeve 22 at the positions corresponding to the combined cooling and heating unit 4, and a sound insulation cavity 3 for sound insulation and heat dissipation is fixedly connected between the panels 231 and the sleeve 22. An aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel 31 is installed in the sound insulation cavity 3, and sound insulation cloth 32 is installed between the two sides of the aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel 31 and the panels 231 and the sleeve 22.

[0030] Specifically, to avoid the noise generated by the integrated heating and cooling unit 4 during operation affecting the user's experience, the tub base 2 is set as a sandwich structure. An aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel 31 is installed in the cavity formed between the panel 231 and the sleeve 22 of the cabinet 23, so that the cavity forms a sound insulation cavity 3. A sound insulation cloth 32 is set between the aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel 31, the panel 231 and the sleeve 22 to further prevent noise transmission, thereby providing a quiet space for users to soak in the bathtub, thus improving the user experience.

[0031] The aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel 31 is constructed by bonding a perforated panel 231 and a perforated back panel to both sides of the honeycomb core using adhesive to form an aluminum honeycomb sandwich structure. A layer of sound-absorbing cloth is attached between the honeycomb core, the panel 231, and the back panel. Because the honeycomb core within the aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel 31 is divided into numerous closed cells, airflow is prevented, sound waves are obstructed, and the sound absorption coefficient is increased. This also improves its strength, allowing for larger individual panel sizes and greater design freedom. Furthermore, different perforation rates can be arranged according to the heat dissipation vents 233 of the jacket 22, further enhancing the sound absorption effect.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the integrated cooling and heating unit 4 includes a casing 41, a refrigeration module 42 disposed inside the casing 41, and a heating module 43 disposed in series with the refrigeration module 42. The casing 41 is located on one side of the bathtub body 1 and is fixedly connected to the fixed frame 21. The refrigeration module 42 and the heating module 43 are respectively connected to the bathtub body 1 by a water pipe module 44, and the refrigeration module 42 and the heating module 43 are disposed in series on the flow path of the water pipe module 44.

[0033] Specifically, the chassis 41 is composed of multiple sheet metal panels spliced ​​together. The sheet metal panels on the left and right sides are respectively equipped with grilles 5 and cooling fans 6. The chassis 41, constructed from spliced ​​sheet metal panels, is not only easy to install but also highly robust. Furthermore, the grilles 5 and cooling fans 6 on the sheet metal panels further enhance heat dissipation within the chassis 41, thereby improving the working efficiency of the cooling module 42 or heating module 43. In addition, a heat exchanger 7 is connected between the cooling module 42 and the heating module 43. The heat exchanger 7 is connected to the flow path of the water module, and its circuit is connected to both the cooling module 42 and the heating module 43. The heat exchanger 7 enables heat transfer, allowing the cooling module 42 or heating module 43 to respond quickly during cold and hot water production and improving the heat conversion speed.

[0034] It is worth mentioning that, in order to further improve the utilization rate of water resources, a water circulation filtration system 8 is connected between the water pipe module 44 and the bathtub body 1. The water circulation filtration system 8 is used to filter and purify the used bath water and circulate it back to the integrated cooling and heating unit 4 for recooling or heating, so that the bathtub body 1 can be reused. This is not only green and environmentally friendly, but also saves water resources.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the water pipe module 44 includes an inlet pipe 441, an outlet pipe 442, and a booster pump 443. One end of the inlet pipe 441 and the outlet pipe 442 are respectively connected to the cooling module 42, and the other end is connected to the booster pump 443. The booster pump 443 is connected to the outlet of the bathtub body 1, and the other end is connected to the heating module 43.

[0036] Specifically, a booster pump 443 pumps water from the bathtub body 1 into the inlet pipe 441 via the outlet pipe 442. The cooling module 42 or heating module 43 on the inlet pipe 441 then cools or heats the water, which returns to the bathtub body 1 via the outlet pipe 442. This ingenious design ensures efficient water circulation as the water circulates within the water pipe module 44. Simultaneously, a single-loop water pipe module 44 handles the return and outlet of water from the bathtub body 1. A cooling module 42 and a heating module 43 are connected in series along the flow path of this module. An electrical control box switches between the cooling module 42 and the heating module 43 to operate independently, allowing for separate cooling or heating of the water flowing within the water pipe module 44. Furthermore, by integrating the cooling and heating functions and circulating water through the same piping system, and sharing a single bathtub, the overall structure is more compact, simplifying the control and piping structure, and making the installation space layout more reasonable, especially suitable for installation in small bathtubs.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a temperature controller 9 for adjusting the temperature is also provided on the cylinder base 2, and the temperature controller 9 is electrically connected to the integrated cooling and heating unit 4.

[0038] Specifically, the temperature controller 9 can adjust the heating temperature of the heating module 43 according to the actual needs, thereby improving the user's comfort experience.

[0039] To enhance the comfort of the bathtub during use, a handrail 11 is provided on the inner wall of the bathtub body 1. The handrail 11 is designed to fit the human hand, allowing the user to easily place their hand on the handrail 11 when sitting or lying in the bathtub, thus enabling the user to be in a relatively relaxed posture and improving the user's bathing experience. In addition, multiple anti-slip grooves 12 are provided at the bottom of the bathtub body 1. The anti-slip grooves 12 can improve the user's safety. Since bathtubs are generally made of ceramic material and have a smooth surface, the water remaining at the bottom of the bathtub after bathing can easily cause the user's feet to slip, which can easily lead to slips and falls. Therefore, by providing anti-slip grooves 12 at the bottom of the bathtub body 1, the anti-slip grooves 12 can increase the friction between the bathtub and the user's feet, thus preventing slipping.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model:

[0041] When the integrated hot and cold water heater 4 is working, it provides cold or hot water to the bathtub body 1 through separate circulation loops. The heat generated during operation is transferred to the outside through the grille 5 and ventilation holes on the casing 41. At the same time, the noise generated by the cooling fan 6 can be absorbed by the aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel 31 in the tub base 2, thereby reducing the propagation of noise and providing users with a quiet and comfortable bathing space, thus improving the user's comfort and experience.

[0042] In summary, this utility model provides a quiet and comfortable space for users to soak in the bathtub by setting the tub base 2 as a sandwich structure and installing an aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel 31 in the cavity formed between the panel 231 and the sleeve 22 of the cabinet 23. This cavity forms a sound insulation cavity 3, and a sound insulation cloth 32 is placed between the aluminum honeycomb sound-absorbing panel 31, the panel 231, and the sleeve 22 to further prevent noise transmission. This enhances the user's comfort and experience. In addition, by integrating the cooling and heating functions and circulating water through the same pipeline system, the bathtub shares a single tub, making the overall structure of the bathtub more compact.

[0043] The embodiments described in this specific implementation are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Identical components are represented by the same reference numerals. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
