[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the stop block is first rotated to release its limiting effect on the rotating plate. Then, using the foot-stepping mechanism composed of a connecting rod and a pedal, the user can easily control the rotation of the foot bath bucket with their foot. This rotating mechanism means that when pouring water, the user does not need to lift the entire bucket. Instead, as the user steps on the foot bath bucket, the main body of the foot bath bucket naturally tilts, and the water flows out smoothly. Finally, when there is a small amount of water left in the foot bath bucket, the user only needs to pull the handle again to easily pour out all the remaining water.
[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the foot bath tub is rotatably connected to a rotating plate via a pivot, and the rotating plate has an overall "L" shaped structure.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating plate can rotate flexibly around the axis, which not only enhances the functionality of the foot bath bucket, but also makes it easier and less strenuous for users to pour water.
[0009] Furthermore, the protective layer is made of rubber, and a groove is formed between the two sets of connecting rods and pedals to provide footholds for the user.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber material has good anti-slip, wear-resistant and waterproof properties, which can effectively protect the edge of the foot bath tub and prevent users from being bumped or scratched during use.
[0011] Furthermore, a placement mechanism is provided on the back of the foot bath tub body. The placement mechanism includes a movable plate, and the surface of the movable plate has multiple through slots for placing foot towels.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a convenient space for placing foot towels is provided for users, which not only allows users to take the foot towels at any time when using the foot bath tub, but also avoids the mess caused by randomly placing the foot towels.
[0013] Furthermore, a mounting block is provided on one side of the foot bath tub body, and a first support rod is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting block. A second support rod is provided below the movable plate, and the first support rod and the second support rod provide oblique support for the movable plate.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, not only is the stability and load-bearing capacity of the movable board guaranteed, but the angle and position of the movable board can also be flexibly adjusted.
[0015] Furthermore, the foot bath tub body is provided with two sets of pads and two sets of casters at the bottom, and a cover is provided on the top of the foot bath tub body, with a handle on the other side of the top.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the foot bath tub can be moved both stably and flexibly. The pads ensure the stability of the foot bath tub during use and prevent sliding or tipping caused by external forces.
[0017] Furthermore, the bottom inner side of the foot bath tub body is provided with multiple protrusions, which are arranged in a rectangular array to provide foot massage points for the user.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solutions, not only are the health benefits of the foot bath enhanced, but users can also enjoy a comfortable foot massage experience while soaking their feet.
[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0020] 1. This utility model utilizes a rotating mechanism. After the foot bath tub is moved to the designated position, the stop block is first rotated to release its restriction on the rotating plate. Then, using a foot-operated mechanism composed of a connecting rod and a pedal, the user can easily control the rotation of the foot bath tub with their foot. This rotating mechanism design allows the foot bath tub to tilt naturally with the user's foot movement without the user having to lift it up. This effectively pours out the water. When a small amount of water remains in the tub, the user can easily pour it out by simply pulling the handle. The entire pouring process is effortless and smooth, which not only improves the ease of use of the foot bath tub but also greatly reduces the risk of elderly users experiencing increased back strain due to pouring water, effectively avoiding safety hazards such as muscle strain. This provides users with a more comfortable and safe foot bathing experience.
[0021] 2. This utility model, through the setting of a placement mechanism, allows the user to pull the movable plate on one side when soaking their feet. At this time, the first support rod and the mounting block rotate relative to each other, and the second support rod also rotates accordingly. Through the rotation of the first and second support rods, the movable plate can be effectively supported and kept stable. Then, the user can place a foot towel in the through groove on the surface of the movable plate. At the same time, items such as Chinese medicine packs and socks can also be placed on the flat surface of the movable plate, making full use of the additional space of the foot bath bucket and increasing the practicality and flexibility of the Chinese medicine foot bath bucket.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0031] Example 1:
[0032] like Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model of a herbal foot bath tub includes a foot bath tub body 1. A rotating mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the foot bath tub body 1. The rotating mechanism 5 includes a rotating plate 501. Two sets of connecting rods 504 are provided at one end of the rotating plate 501. A pedal 505 is provided between the two sets of connecting rods 504. A stop block 503 is rotatably connected to one side of the foot bath tub body 1 via a torsion shaft 502. One side of the stop block 503 abuts against the rotating plate 501. A protective layer 8 is provided on one side of the top outer edge of the foot bath tub body 1. First, the stop block 503 is rotated to release its limiting effect on the rotating plate 501. Then, the foot bath tub body 1 is stepped on using the foot bath mechanism composed of the connecting rods 504 and the pedal 505. Users can easily control the rotation of the foot bath tub body 1 with their feet. This rotating mechanism 5 allows the user to pour out the water without having to lift the entire tub. Instead, as the user steps on the tub, the body 1 tilts naturally, allowing the water to flow out smoothly. Finally, when a small amount of water remains in the tub, the user can easily pour out the remaining water by simply pulling the handle 3 again. The entire pouring process is exceptionally effortless and smooth due to the rotating mechanism 5, greatly reducing the risk of elderly users experiencing increased back strain from pouring water and effectively avoiding safety hazards such as muscle strain. This provides users with a more comfortable, safe, and convenient foot bath experience.
[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The bottom of the foot bath tub body 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 501 via a pivot. The rotating plate 501 has an overall "L" shape, which allows it to rotate flexibly around the pivot. This not only enhances the functionality of the foot bath tub but also makes it easier and less strenuous for users to pour water. At the same time, the "L" shape of the rotating plate 501 ensures its stability while providing sufficient stepping space for the user, making it more stable and less prone to slipping. This greatly improves the convenience and safety of using the foot bath tub, allowing users to enjoy the comfort of foot bathing with greater peace of mind.
[0034] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The protective layer 8 is made of rubber. A groove is formed between the two sets of connecting rods 504 and the pedal 505 to provide footholds for the user. The rubber material has good anti-slip, wear-resistant and waterproof properties, which can effectively protect the edge of the foot bath tub and prevent the user from being bumped or scratched during use. At the same time, the groove formed between the two sets of connecting rods 504 and the pedal 505 provides convenient footholds for the user, which not only allows the user to easily control the rotation of the rotating plate 501 with their feet, but also makes the foot bath tub more beautiful and practical overall.
[0035] Example 2:
[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 The foot bath tub body 1 has a placement mechanism 4 on its back. The placement mechanism 4 includes a movable plate 401. The surface of the movable plate 401 has multiple through slots 402 for placing foot towels. This provides users with a convenient place to put their foot towels, allowing them to easily access them while using the foot bath tub and preventing the mess caused by randomly placing the towels. At the same time, the movable plate 401 also enhances the practicality of the foot bath tub, making it easier for users to place foot bath products. In addition, the simple design of the placement mechanism 4 conforms to the aesthetic standards of modern homes, adding beauty to the user's home environment.
[0037] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 A mounting block 403 is provided on one side of the foot bath tub body 1. A first support rod 404 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting block 403. A second support rod 405 is provided below the movable plate 401. The first support rod 404 and the second support rod 405 form an oblique support for the movable plate 401, which not only ensures the stability and load-bearing capacity of the movable plate 401, but also allows the movable plate 401 to be flexibly adjusted in angle and position to meet different user needs. At the same time, the oblique support structure also enhances the overall stability of the foot bath tub and prevents it from tipping over or sliding due to external forces. In addition, the first support rod 404 and the second support rod 405 also facilitate cleaning and maintenance by users, extending the service life of the foot bath tub.
[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The foot bath tub body 1 has two sets of pads 6 and two sets of casters 7 at the bottom. The top of the foot bath tub body 1 has a cover plate 2 and a handle 3 on the other side of the top, which allows the foot bath tub to move steadily and flexibly. The pads 6 ensure the stability of the foot bath tub during use and prevent it from sliding or tipping over due to external forces. The casters 7 allow users to easily push the foot bath tub to any position, meeting the needs of users in different usage scenarios. At the same time, the cover plate 2 and handle 3 on the top of the foot bath tub body 1 not only enhance the practicality of the foot bath tub, but also make it easier for users to open and close the foot bath tub, as well as move and carry it.
[0039] See Figure 3The foot bath tub body 1 has multiple protrusions 9 on its inner bottom side. These protrusions 9 are arranged in a rectangular array to provide foot massage points for users. This not only enhances the health benefits of the foot bath tub but also allows users to enjoy a comfortable foot massage experience while soaking their feet. The rectangular array of protrusions 9 ensures the even distribution of massage points and the comprehensiveness of the massage effect. At the same time, the protrusions 9 also take into account the user's comfort, avoiding foot discomfort caused by massage points that are too concentrated or too hard.
[0040] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: When the user soaks their feet, they can pull the movable plate 401 on one side. At this time, the first support rod 404 and the second support rod 405 rotate, so that the first support rod 404 and the second support rod 405 support the movable plate 401. Then, the user can place a foot towel in the through groove 402 and place the Chinese medicine pack and socks on the movable plate 401, thereby increasing the practicality and flexibility of the Chinese medicine foot bath bucket. After washing the feet, the movable plate 401 can be rotated, so that the first support rod 404 and the second support rod 405 rotate and retract, thereby realizing the storage of the movable plate 401.
[0041] First, slightly lift the handle to detach the pad 6 under the foot bath tub body 1 from the ground. Then, push the handle 3 to rotate the caster 7, thus moving the foot bath tub body 1. When it reaches the water pouring area, place the handle 3 so that the pad 6 contacts the ground, ensuring the foot bath tub body 1 is stably placed on the ground. Next, rotate the stop 503 to disengage it from the rotating plate 501, and step on it into the slot formed by the connecting rod 504 and the pedal 505. As the user steps on it, the rotating plate 501 rotates. As the foot bath tub moves, the main body 1 also rotates. When it rotates to a certain angle, the water in the foot bath tub is poured out. When a small amount of water remains in the tub, the user can pull up the handle to easily pour out the remaining water. During this operation, due to the presence of the rotating mechanism 5, the user can pour out all the water in the foot bath tub with relatively little force, without having to lift the foot bath tub and pour out the foot bath water with great effort. This reduces the possibility of elderly users aggravating the burden on their lower back due to pouring out the water, and reduces the risk of user strain and other risks, thereby improving the convenience of using the herbal foot bath tub.
