Massage bathtub with light-transmitting adjusting valve

Abstract

The massage bathtub with the light-transmitting adjusting valve comprises a bathtub body, a water pump is arranged on the bathtub body, the adjusting valve is connected to a water outlet pipe of the water pump, the top of a valve body of the adjusting valve is located on the top wall of the bathtub body and provided with a rotary knob with a vertical shaft as the rotation center for people to rotate and adjust water flow, and a lamp strip is installed at the top of the valve body. A light guide lampshade covers the outer side of the lamp strip to guide out light rays emitted by the lamp strip, the knob covers the outer side of the lampshade, and a strip-shaped light-transmitting groove allowing the light rays to transmit outwards is formed in the edge of the knob. When the main illuminating lamp is used, light emitted by the lamp strip is led out through the lampshade and then is transmitted out from the strip-shaped light-transmitting groove in the knob, and therefore a user can clearly observe the light-transmitting groove in the knob under the condition that the main illuminating lamp for the bathroom is not started. As the light-transmitting groove is formed in the edge of the knob and changes the direction along with the rotation of the knob, a user can roughly judge the rotation angle of the knob by taking the light-transmitting groove as an indication mark of the knob and observing the change of the direction of the light-transmitting groove when rotating the knob.

[0023] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the specific embodiments.

[0024] First embodiment:

[0025] A massage bathtub with light-transmitting regulating valve is seen in Figure 1 , which comprises a bathtub body 10, a massage nozzle 30 arranged on the inner wall 102 of the bathtub body 10, a water pump 20 hidden inside the bathtub body 10, a water inlet pipe 201 connected to the water inlet end of the water pump 20, the water inlet pipe 201 communicating with the inner cavity 101 of the bathtub body 10, a water outlet pipe 202 connected to the water outlet end of the water pump 20, and the water outlet pipe 202 connecting the massage nozzle 30. When a user uses it, the water pump 20 is started, and the water pump 20 pumps the water in the inner cavity 101 of the bathtub body 10 to the massage nozzle 30 to spray out, thereby massaging the user's body. A regulating valve 40 is connected to the water outlet pipe 202, seen in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , which comprises a valve body 4, the top 41 of the valve body 4 extending out of the inner part of the bathtub body 10 to the top wall 103 of the bathtub body 10, a mounting hole 42 being arranged in the center of the valve body 4, a vertical valve rod 5 being mounted in the mounting hole 42, a knob 6 being mounted on the valve rod 5 with the vertical central axis of the valve rod 5 as the rotation center, and anti-slip patterns being arranged on the side wall 62 of the knob 6. The user rotates the knob 6 to drive the valve rod 5 to rotate, thereby changing the opening and closing degree of the valve body 4, and adjusting the water flow rate and pressure flowing to the massage nozzle 30 (seen in Figure 1 ), so as to adjust the water flow intensity and mode of the massage nozzle 30. Specifically, when the knob 6 is rotated to the left, the valve body 4 is gradually closed to reduce or block the water flow; when the knob 6 is rotated to the right, the valve body 4 is gradually opened to increase the water flow rate and pressure.

[0026] seen in Figure 3 and Figure 5, the valve body 4 top 41 is provided with an inner and outer annular groove around the mounting hole 42. The inner annular groove is the sealing ring mounting groove 411, in which the first sealing ring 71 is mounted. The outer mounting groove is the lamp strip mounting groove 412, in which the annular cold light lamp strip 8 is mounted. The lamp strip mounting groove 412 groove bottom wall 4110 is provided with a threading hole 413 downward to the inside of the cylinder body 10, and the inside of the cylinder body 10 is provided with a power line 104 which extends upward through the threading hole 413 to the groove bottom of the lamp strip mounting groove 412 for power connection of the lamp strip 8. The annular light guide lamp shade 9 is covered outside the lamp strip 8, and the valve body 4 top 41 is provided with an outer thread 415 on the upper side, a sealing gasket 73 in the middle and a lateral protrusion 416 on the lower side. The inner side wall of the lamp shade 9 edge part 91 is provided with an inner thread 915 matching the outer thread. When the lamp shade 9 is installed, it is rotated from top to bottom, and is installed and fixed to the valve body 4 top 41 through the engagement of the inner and outer threads 915, 415. After installation, the lamp shade 9 top 92 and the sealing ring mounting groove 411 groove bottom wall together clamp the first sealing ring 71, and the lamp shade 9 edge part 91 is located outside the lamp strip mounting groove 412 and above the lateral protrusion 416 of the valve body 4, pressing the sealing gasket 73.

[0027] See Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the valve stem 5 rod body 51 extends laterally to form a lateral extension 52, and the top of the lateral extension 52 is provided with an annular abutting groove 521, and the second sealing ring 72 is sleeved on the inner side wall of the abutting groove 521. The center part 93 of the lamp shade 9 extends downward into the abutting groove 521, and together with the abutting groove 521 groove bottom wall 5210 vertically clamps the second sealing ring 72 and together with the valve stem 5 rod body 51 laterally clamps the second sealing ring 72. The knob 6 covers the outside of the lamp shade 9, see Figure 4 , the knob 6 top wall 61 edge is provided with three strip-shaped main light transmission grooves 610 arranged in a circle, and the three main light transmission grooves 610 are all radial grooves, wherein: the first main light transmission groove 611 is located in front and is front-to-back oriented, and the second and third main light transmission grooves 612, 613 are located in the back and are inclinedly oriented, and the three main light transmission grooves 611, 612, 613 are arranged in a Y shape. The main light transmission grooves 610 are opened from the edge of the knob 6 top wall 61 to the side wall 62, and the end 6101 close to the rotation center of the knob 6 is wider than the end 6102 away from the rotation center of the knob 6. Between the second and third main light transmission grooves 612, 613, there is also a left and right direction auxiliary light transmission groove 614, which is a circumferential groove located at the rear edge of the knob 6 top wall 61.

[0028] See Figure 3 and Figure 5, when in use, the power line 104 supplies power to the light strip 8 to make the light strip 8 emit light, the light emitted by the light strip 8 is guided outwards through the lampshade 9, and then outwards through the main light-transmitting groove 610 and the auxiliary light-transmitting groove 614 on the knob 6, so that the user can clearly see the light transmitted through the light-transmitting grooves 610, 614 of the knob 6 without turning on the main bathroom lighting lamp, and thus can clearly observe the light-transmitting grooves 610, 614 of the knob 6. In this embodiment, the light strip 8 is a blue light strip, and in other embodiments, the light strip 8 can be replaced by a light strip of other cold color, such as a green light strip. Since the light strip 8 is a cold light strip, the light emitted by the light strip 8 will not destroy the quiet and relaxing atmosphere in the bathroom when the user turns off the main bathroom lighting lamp. The lampshade 9 is located outside the light strip 8 and plays a waterproof role to prevent external water from directly wetting the light strip 8. If water flows to the central part 93 of the lampshade 9, the second sealing ring 72 can prevent the water from entering the abutment groove 521 from the central part 93 of the lampshade 9. Even if a small amount of water enters the abutment groove 521 from the central part 93 of the lampshade 9, the water will be blocked by the groove wall of the abutment groove 521 and will not further penetrate. Even if a small amount of water flows upward along the inner wall of the central part 93 of the lampshade 9 due to air pressure or other reasons, the first sealing ring 71 can block the water to prevent it from entering the light strip mounting groove 412 and wetting the light strip 8. When water flows to the edge part 91 of the lampshade 9, the sealing gasket 73 can effectively prevent water from entering the gap between the lampshade 9 and the valve body 5, thereby preventing water from entering the light strip mounting groove 412 and wetting the light strip 8.

[0029] See Figure 4 Since the main light-transmitting grooves 610 and the auxiliary light-transmitting groove 614 are both opened on the edge of the knob 6 and change their orientation with the rotation of the knob 6, the user uses the light-transmitting grooves 610, 614 as the indicator of the knob 6, and when rotating the knob 6, the user observes the change of the orientation of the light-transmitting grooves 610, 614 to roughly determine the rotation angle of the knob 6. Since the three main light-transmitting grooves 610 on the knob 6 collectively form a Y-shaped type, this design can naturally guide the user's line of sight to focus on the first main light-transmitting groove 611 of the Y-shaped leg, so that the user uses this main light-transmitting groove 611 as the main indicator when using, and the other two main light-transmitting grooves 612, 613 and the auxiliary light-transmitting groove 614 serve as secondary indicators, which are mainly used to assist in determining the position of the first main light-transmitting groove 611. The following examples are given:

[0030] When the first main light-transmitting groove 611 faces forward, the first user feels that the water flow rate and pressure are moderate. At this time, the user can confirm the current setting according to the direction of the first main light-transmitting groove 611.

[0031] After the first user uses, the second user wants to increase the flow rate and pressure of the water flow, and rotates the knob 6 to the right until the first main light-transmitting slot 611 turns to the right rear side. In this process, the second user observes the change in the orientation of the first main light-transmitting slot 611, and can roughly determine the rotation angle of the knob 6.

[0032] After the second user finishes using, the first user uses again, and only needs to quickly find the position of the first main light-transmitting slot 611 according to the Y-shaped design on the knob 6, and then observes the change in the orientation of the first main light-transmitting slot 611, and can roughly determine how many degrees the knob 6 is rotated by the second user. The first user rotates the knob 6 to the left to the state that the first main light-transmitting slot 611 faces forward, to restore the previous setting. If it is found that the first main light-transmitting slot 611 already faces forward, but the flow rate and pressure of the water flow are still large, it may mean that the second user has rotated the knob 6 more than one circle, at this time, the first user needs to continue to rotate the knob 6 to the left until the first main light-transmitting slot 611 faces forward again, to restore to the initial setting.

[0033] See Figure 4 The end 6101 of the main light-transmitting slot 610 close to the rotation center of the knob 6 is wider than the end 6102 far from the rotation center of the knob 6 in the embodiment, the end 6101 of the main light-transmitting slot 610 close to the rotation center of the knob 6 allows more light to pass through, is visually more prominent, attracts the attention of the user, and provides sufficient light feedback, and the end 6102 far from the rotation center of the knob 6 can play an accurate indication role due to the small size, so that the user can clearly understand the current setting.

[0034] Second embodiment:

[0035] The second embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, and the difference is that see Figure 6 The main light-transmitting slot 610 of the second embodiment has five circumferential arrangements, and the auxiliary light-transmitting slot 614 of the second embodiment also has five circumferential arrangements, the main light-transmitting slot 610 and the auxiliary light-transmitting slot 614 are arranged alternately, the user takes one of the main light-transmitting slot 610 or the auxiliary light-transmitting slot 614 as an indication mark of the knob 6, and observes the change in the orientation of the main light-transmitting slot 610 or the auxiliary light-transmitting slot 614 when rotating the knob 6, to roughly determine the rotation angle of the knob 6.

[0036] Third embodiment:

[0037] The third embodiment is basically the same as the first embodiment, and the difference is that see Figure 7, the valve stem 5 of the third embodiment cancels the abutting groove 521, and the second sealing ring 72 is sleeved on the stem body 51 of the valve stem 5 and located above the lateral extension 52. The top 41 of the valve body 4 of the third embodiment cancels the lamp strip mounting groove 412 and the sealing gasket 73, the annular lamp strip 8 is changed to be mounted on the lateral protrusion 416, the threading hole 413 is changed to be opened on the lateral protrusion 416, the lamp shade 9 extends downward with an annular connecting portion 94, and the internal thread 915 is changed to be arranged on the inner side wall of the connecting portion 94. The lamp shade 9 is mounted and fixed to the top 41 of the valve body 4 through the engagement of the internal thread 915 and the external thread 415, after being mounted, the edge portion 91 of the lamp shade 9 covers the lamp strip 8, and the center portion 93 of the lamp shade 9 extends downward into the mounting hole 42, downward abuts against the lateral extension 52 of the valve stem 5 and laterally clamps the second sealing ring 72 together with the stem body 51 of the valve stem 5.

[0038] The above-mentioned embodiments are only the creation of the present application, and do not limit the scope of patent protection. Those skilled in the art can make non-essential changes or substitutions on the basis of the creation of the present application, and still fall within the scope of patent protection.
