[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of this utility model are further described below.
[0028] This embodiment proposes the following technical solution: a fungicide disinfection device specifically for foot massage boxes, comprising a panel 1, which is 40-50cm long and 20-30cm wide. The panel 1 has a start button and a temperature setting button. A box body 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the panel 1. Multiple sets of ceramic heating lamps 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the box body 4. The ceramic heating lamps 6 are high-temperature, long-life heaters capable of heating the surface of the foot massage box. A control device 14 is installed inside the box body 4. The control device 14 is a waterproof box containing a control board, such as a TG280 high-temperature resistant circuit board.
[0029] In some embodiments, the control device 14 may also be installed outside the housing 4. In this case, the control device 14 may be a simple control box with a high-temperature resistant circuit board installed inside.

[0034] Additionally, an insulating plate 12 is fixedly connected between the bottom of the water tank 8 and the tank body 4. The insulating plate 12 is made of insulating material, such as wood, and serves to seal and insulate between the ceramic heating lamp 6 at the bottom of the tank body 4 and the water tank 8. The length of the water tank 8 is 40-50cm, preferably 40cm; the width is 20-30cm, preferably 20cm. The water tank 8 is located in the central area inside the tank body 4. A water inlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 8. An end cap 10 is threaded onto the top of the water inlet pipe 9, and one end of the water inlet pipe 9 extends to the outside of the panel 1.
[0035] In this embodiment, a second steam outlet 11 is provided at the top of the water tank 8, and a first steam outlet 5 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 4. The first steam outlet 5 is connected to the second steam outlet 11. The second steam outlet 11 has a circular structure and a diameter of 3-5 cm, preferably 3 cm. The first steam outlet 5 has a rectangular structure and a length and width of 1-3 cm, preferably 2 cm.
[0036] To ensure that those skilled in the art can fully understand the technical solution, the usage method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0037] Place the device inside the foot bath box that needs disinfection, then turn on panel 1. The ceramic heating lamp will heat the surface of the foot bath box to 180-200 degrees Celsius. Irradiation for 10 minutes is designed to effectively kill fungi and prevent the spread of athlete's foot. During the heating process, the water in the tank will turn into steam and be discharged through the second steam outlet 11, and then through the first steam outlet 5. The high-temperature steam can effectively prevent the foot bath box from cracking under high temperature, avoid damage to the foot bath box, and the high-temperature steam can also play a certain disinfection role.
[0038] The above embodiments are not an exhaustive list based on the present invention, and there may be other embodiments not listed. Any substitutions and improvements made without departing from the concept of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
