Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of health, specifically to a foot bath device. Background Technology

[0002] Existing foot bath devices include a shell with an internal foot bath cavity. At the bottom of the shell are a steam generation component, a thermopressing component, and a massage component. Steam generated by the steam generation component is processed by the thermopressing component and then sprayed outwards through the massage component to provide massage stimulation. The thermopressing component extracts the steam generated by the steam generation component, heats and pressurizes it, and then delivers it to the massage component. The massage component includes multiple dispersed massage heads. Because the distance between each massage head and the thermopressing component varies, and the steam pressure decreases as the transmission distance increases, the steam pressure sprayed outwards from each massage head varies. This results in variations in the intensity of the massage stimulation generated by the steam spray, reducing massage comfort and affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a foot bath device with excellent water vapor jet effect. The massage head is equipped with nozzles of varying diameters. The nozzles are configured with different diameters according to the position of the massage head, and the water vapor pressure is adjusted to ensure that the water vapor maintains a high pressure after long-distance delivery, thereby ensuring the intensity of massage stimulation and improving the user experience.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following method: a foot bath device with good water vapor jet effect, including a shell with an internal foot bath cavity, a partition plate at the bottom of the shell, a water vapor generating component located at the partition plate, a hot pressing component located below the partition plate, and a massage component located above the partition plate. The water vapor generated by the water vapor generating component is processed by the hot pressing component and then sprayed outward through the massage component to form a massage stimulation. The massage component includes several separately placed massage heads, and each massage head is provided with a nozzle for spraying water vapor outward. The hot pressing component is connected to each massage head through a diversion plate with a diversion channel. The diversion channel is provided with an input port communicating with the hot pressing component. The diameter of the nozzle on the massage head decreases as the distance between it and the input port increases to maintain the water vapor jet pressure. The massage head is equipped with nozzles of varying diameters. The nozzles, with their different diameters, are positioned according to the massage head's location, and the steam pressure is adjusted accordingly. Reducing the nozzle diameter increases the steam pressure, effectively offsetting pressure loss during long-distance transport and ensuring the steam maintains sufficient pressure. This ensures optimal steam jet performance, enhances massage stimulation, and improves the user experience. The dividing plate serves to securely position the steam generation component, the heating element, and the massage component. It also forms the bottom wall of the foot bath cavity, providing insulation and protection for the heating element below.

[0005] Preferably, the diversion channel is H-shaped, including two separate secondary channels and a main channel spanning the middle of the secondary channels. The massage head includes a central head located in the middle of the secondary channels and an end head located at the end of the secondary channels. The nozzle diameter of the end head is smaller than that of the nozzle on the central head. The distance between the end head and the inlet is greater than the distance between the central head and the inlet. By reducing the nozzle diameter on the end head, the pressure of the flowing water vapor is increased, thereby ensuring that the water vapor jet can generate an impact force that meets the usage requirements, thus forming a massage stimulation that meets the usage requirements.

[0006] Preferably, the inlet is located in the middle of the main channel to reduce the distance between the inlet and each end head, and the secondary channels are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main channel. The main channel receives water vapor from the inlet and delivers it to each secondary channel, while the secondary channels connect adjacent massage heads. This effectively simplifies the structure of the distribution channel, facilitates processing, and effectively reduces the distance between the inlet and each massage head, thereby reducing water vapor pressure loss by shortening the water vapor delivery length.

[0007] Preferably, the lower end of the nozzle is connected to the diversion channel, and the upper end is connected to the foot bath cavity through an upward-facing nozzle. The nozzle receives water vapor from the diversion channel and sprays it into the foot bath cavity through the nozzle. The nozzle is installed inside the massage head to guide the water vapor to be sprayed in a predetermined direction, thereby creating a massage stimulation by impacting the user's feet.

[0008] Preferably, the top surface of the massage head is provided with multiple parallel nozzles, and the nozzle pipe delivers water vapor to each nozzle. Multiple nozzles connected to the nozzle pipe can be provided on the same massage head, which can not only form multiple streams of water vapor to create multiple massage stimulations, but also increase the spray speed by reducing the nozzle diameter, thereby increasing the impact force.

[0009] Preferably, the number of nozzles in the center head is greater than the number of nozzles in the end heads. Different numbers of nozzles are provided on the center head and the end heads. The sum of the cross-sectional areas of the nozzles on the center head is greater than the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the nozzles on the end heads. The end heads compensate for the pressure loss caused by long-distance water vapor transportation by reducing the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the nozzles, ensuring that the water vapor has a balanced pressure at the nozzles of each massage head, thereby forming a balanced massage stimulation.

[0010] Preferably, the top wall of the diversion channel has a mounting hole, and the bottom of the massage head is inserted into the corresponding mounting hole so that the nozzle is connected to the diversion channel. The mounting hole is used to fix the massage head, which not only ensures that the massage head is in a fixed position, but also facilitates the connection between the bottom of the massage head and the diversion channel, thereby facilitating the lower end of the nozzle to receive water vapor from the diversion channel and providing the user with continuous and effective massage stimulation.

[0011] Preferably, the steam generation component is disposed in the atomizing tank at the bottom of the foot bath cavity. The thermostatic component includes a pump body and a first heating element. The pump body draws steam generated in the atomizing tank and, after flowing through the first heating element, forms high-temperature steam that is delivered to the diversion channel. The atomizing tank contains a water source, which is converted into steam by the steam generation component. The pump body draws water from the water source and, after increasing the pressure, flows through the first heating element, so that the steam forms high-temperature steam that meets the pressure and temperature requirements and is delivered to the massage component through the diversion channel.

[0012] Preferably, the water vapor generation component includes an ultrasonic atomizer, through which water in the atomization tank is atomized into water vapor. The ultrasonic atomizer atomizes the water source into water vapor, providing water vapor for both the hot-pressing component and the foot bath cavity with adjustable temperature water vapor.

[0013] Preferably, the water vapor generating component includes a second heating element that heats the water source. The second heating element heats the water source in the atomizing tank so that the water vapor temperature reaches the required temperature inside the foot bath cavity.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The massage head is equipped with nozzles of different diameters. The nozzles of different diameters are set according to the position of the massage head and the water vapor pressure is adjusted. By reducing the nozzle diameter, the water vapor pressure is increased, which effectively offsets the pressure loss of water vapor after long-distance transportation, ensuring that the water vapor still has a large pressure after long-distance transportation, thereby ensuring the intensity of massage stimulation and improving the user experience.

[0023] The essential features of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] This embodiment provides a foot bath device.

[0026] like Figure 1 and 2 The foot bath shown includes a shell 1 with an internal foot bath cavity. The bottom of the shell 1 is provided with a partition plate 13, a water vapor generating component 14 located at the partition plate 13, a thermopressing component 2 located below the partition plate 13, and a massage component 3 located above the partition plate 13. The water vapor generated by the water vapor generating component 14 is processed by the thermopressing component 2 and then sprayed outward through the massage component 3 to form a massage stimulation. The massage component 3 includes several separately placed massage heads. Each massage head is provided with a nozzle 15 for spraying water vapor outward. The thermopressing component 2 is connected to each massage head through a diversion plate 6 with a diversion channel 10. The diversion channel 10 is provided with an inlet 7 communicating with the thermopressing component 2. The diameter of the nozzle 15 on the massage head decreases as the distance between it and the inlet 7 increases to maintain the water vapor spray pressure. The massage head is equipped with nozzles 15 of different diameters. The nozzles 15 of different diameters are set according to the position of the massage head and the water vapor pressure is adjusted. By reducing the diameter of the nozzles 15, the water vapor pressure is increased, which effectively offsets the pressure loss of water vapor after long-distance delivery, ensuring that the water vapor still has a large pressure after long-distance delivery, thereby ensuring the intensity of massage stimulation and improving the user experience.

[0027] In this embodiment, the diversion channel 10 includes a main channel 9 and a secondary channel 8. The main channel 9 connects the input port 7 and the secondary channel 8, while the secondary channel 8 connects multiple massage heads simultaneously. Each massage head includes a central head 5 located in the middle of the secondary channel 8 and an end head 4 located at the end of the secondary channel 8. Because the end head 4 and the central head 5 are positioned at different locations in the secondary channel 8, the distance between the input port 7 and the end head 4 is greater than the distance between the input port 7 and the central head 5. The pressure of the water vapor decreases as the flow distance increases, resulting in a lower pressure of water vapor at the end head 4 than at the central head 5. Reducing the diameter of the nozzle 15 on the end head 4 allows the water vapor to be pressurized as it flows through the nozzle 15, offsetting the pressure loss caused by the long-distance water vapor transport. This ensures that both the end head 4 and the central head 5 receive water vapor with balanced pressure, guaranteeing that the water vapor sprayed by each massage head onto the user's feet forms a uniform massage stimulation intensity, effectively improving massage comfort.

[0028] In this embodiment, the diversion channel 10 is H-shaped (e.g., Figure 3 As shown, the device includes two separate secondary channels 8 and a main channel 9 spanning the middle of the secondary channels 8. The massage head includes a central head 5 located in the middle of the secondary channel 8 and an end head 4 located at the end of the secondary channel 8. The diameter of the nozzle 15 on the end head 4 is smaller than the diameter of the nozzle 15 on the central head 5. There are two secondary channels 8, located at both ends of the main channel 9, so that the secondary channels 8 and their massage heads correspond to the user's feet. The central head 5 and end head 4 on a single secondary channel 8 are arranged in a straight line, facilitating massage stimulation of the corresponding feet. The ends of the main channel 9 are located in the middle of the corresponding secondary channel 8, ensuring that the distance between the input port 7 and the end head 4 at the end of each secondary channel 8 is the same, preventing excessive water vapor pressure loss due to excessive distance between the end head 4 and the input port 7.

[0029] In this embodiment, the input port 7 is located in the middle of the main channel 9, and the secondary channel 8 is symmetrically located on both sides of the main channel 9 to reduce the distance between the input port 7 and each end head 4, ensuring that the distance between the input port 7 and each end head 4 is the same, thereby ensuring that the water vapor pressure at each end head 4 is balanced by unifying the water vapor flow resistance.

[0030] In this embodiment, the connection between the secondary channel 8 and the main channel 9 is achieved through rounded corners, so that the cross-sectional area between adjacent sections of the diversion channel 10 gradually changes. The end of the main channel 9 is connected to the middle of the secondary channel 8, and the corresponding walls are connected through rounded corners. This reduces wind resistance and thus pressure loss, and also reduces the pressure variation amplitude by gradually changing the cross-sectional area at the connection, thereby ensuring that water vapor is effectively and uniformly transported.

[0031] In this embodiment, the lower end of the nozzle 15 is connected to the diversion channel 10, and the upper end is connected to the foot bath cavity through an upwardly exposed nozzle 11. The top surface of the massage head is provided with multiple parallel nozzles 11. The nozzle 15 supplies water vapor to each nozzle 11, and receives water vapor from the diversion channel 10, simultaneously spraying it into the foot bath cavity through the multiple nozzles 11. The top wall of the diversion channel 10 has mounting holes 12 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 As shown), the bottom of the massage head is inserted into the corresponding mounting hole 12 so that the nozzle 15 communicates with the diversion channel 10. The mounting hole 12 is opened on the top wall of the secondary channel 8. The massage head includes a mounting base 21 and a massage cover 22 (as shown). Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the mounting base 21 is sealed and inserted into the mounting hole 12, and the top is sealed and covered by the massage cover 22. Both the massage cover 22 and the mounting base 21 are hollow structures, and they are connected to form the nozzle 15. The top surface of the massage cover 22 is provided with a nozzle hole 11 that communicates with the nozzle 15. The lower end of the nozzle 15 is opened on the bottom surface of the mounting base 21, so that the nozzle 15 is connected to the secondary channel 8 and provides the water vapor required for spraying to the nozzle hole 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, the top surface of the massage cover 22 is provided with massage protrusions. Rotation of the massage cover 22 causes the massage protrusions to apply pressure to the user's feet, thus providing massage stimulation. The bottom of the housing 1 includes a drive gear 23 driven by a motor and a transmission gear 24 fitted onto the corresponding mounting base 21. The transmission gear 24 has a square hole in its center that fits onto the mounting base 21. Adjacent mounting bases 21 are linked by the transmission gear 24. The drive gear 23 drives any transmission gear 24 to rotate, causing each mounting base 21 to drive the corresponding massage cover 22 to rotate synchronously. The section of the mounting base fitted by the square hole has a square cross-section, ensuring that the transmission gear 24 and the mounting base 21 rotate synchronously. The square hole simultaneously cooperates with the mounting base 21 and the massage cover 22, ensuring that there is no relative rotation between the mounting base 21 and the massage cover 22, and ensuring that the rotational power of the massage cover 22 and the mounting base 21 comes directly from the transmission gear 24, guaranteeing that the mounting base 21 and the massage cover 22 can rotate synchronously.

[0033] In actual operation, a control panel is provided at the bottom of the housing 1 to uniformly control the hot pressing component 2, the steam generating component 14, and the massage component 3, ensuring coordinated operation between the components and providing comfortable foot bath, drying, and massage functions. The steam generating component 14 is located in the atomizing groove 16 at the bottom of the foot bath cavity (e.g., Figure 5As shown, the water vapor generating component 14 includes an ultrasonic atomizer 19 and a second heating element 20. Water in the atomizing tank 16 is atomized into water vapor by the ultrasonic atomizer 19, and the second heating element 20 heats the water. The water in the atomizing tank 16 is heated to a preset temperature by the second heating element 20. The ultrasonic atomizer 19 atomizes the water heated to the preset temperature into water vapor. Part of the water vapor passes through the thermo-pressing component 2 to form high-temperature, high-pressure water vapor, which is then sprayed onto the user's feet through the massage component 3. Another part of the water vapor rises into the foot bath cavity, raising the temperature inside the foot bath cavity and ensuring that the feet are enveloped in a suitable temperature of water vapor for a warm compress. The water vapor sprayed through the massage component 3 also diffuses into the foot bath cavity after contacting the user's feet, maintaining the temperature inside the foot bath cavity.

[0034] In actual operation, the hot-pressing assembly 2 includes a pump body 17 and a first heating element 18. The pump body 17 draws water vapor generated in the atomizing tank 16 and, after flowing through the first heating element 18, forms high-temperature water vapor that is delivered to the diversion channel 10. The pump body 17 draws water vapor from the atomizing tank 16 and increases the pressure of the water vapor to ensure that the water vapor jet speed meets the usage requirements, thereby enhancing the massage stimulation by increasing the impact force. The first heating element 18 reheats the water vapor to ensure that the water vapor temperature meets the usage requirements, thereby enhancing the massage stimulation by increasing the water vapor temperature.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] Compared to Embodiment 1, this embodiment provides another foot bath device.

[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, the number of nozzles 11 on the central head 5 is greater than the number of nozzles 11 on the end head 4. The pressure of water vapor injection is adjusted by changing the number of nozzles 11 on the central head 5 and the end head 4. The water vapor injection pressure is increased by reducing the number of nozzles 11, which is used to compensate for the pressure loss of water vapor during long-distance transportation and ensure that the water vapor injection pressure at the central head 5 and the end head 4 is balanced. Specifically, the central head 5 is provided with eight nozzles 11 to form eight streams of water vapor injected into the foot bath cavity; the end head 4 is provided with four nozzles 11 to form four streams of water vapor injected into the foot bath cavity.

[0038] The other structures and effects of the foot bath device described in this embodiment are the same as those in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.
