Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot bath turntable technology, specifically to a detachable turntable structure for a foot bath. Background Technology

[0002] The detachable turntable assembly of the foot bath includes a drive gear and a snap fastener assembly. The lower end of the drive gear engages with the drive shaft inside the lower housing via a locking block. However, the snap fastener assembly does not link with the drive gear. This makes it difficult to adjust the drive gear after assembly if the positioning of the drive gear and the drive shaft on the housing is inaccurate during installation. Consequently, the drive gear and the drive shaft do not engage properly, affecting the normal use of the drive gear. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a detachable turntable structure for a foot bath.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a detachable rotating disc structure for a foot bath, comprising:

[0005] The turntable cover is located at the bottom inside the foot bath's outer casing;

[0006] The drive shaft is located inside the foot bath housing below the turntable cover, and its lower end is used to connect to the power component.

[0007] The drive gear is limited and sleeved on the drive shaft;

[0008] A rotating bracket is rotatably mounted on the turntable cover and located below the turntable cover. The rotating bracket is provided with a linkage component for cooperating with the drive gear.

[0009] A knob is rotatably mounted on the turntable cover and cooperates with the rotating bracket. It is used to drive the drive gear to rotate when the drive shaft lifts the drive gear.

[0010] Furthermore, symmetrically distributed locking blocks are provided on both sides of the drive shaft, and a first sleeve for sleeved on the drive shaft is provided below the drive gear, with symmetrically distributed stop blocks provided inside the first sleeve.

[0011] When engaged, the locking block is inserted into the first sleeve, the drive shaft rotates, and the locking block drives the stop block to move, thereby driving the drive gear to rotate;

[0012] In the jacked-up state, the locking block holds the stop block, and the drive shaft and the drive gear are not engaged. The knob drives the rotating bracket to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear to rotate until the locking block and the stop block are misaligned. Then the drive gear falls down and engages.

[0013] Furthermore, the linkage includes a first baffle evenly distributed on the upper surface of the drive gear and a second baffle disposed on the lower surface of the rotating bracket for matching the first baffle.

[0014] Furthermore, one side of the first and second retaining ribs is set as a straight surface, and the other side is set as an inclined surface.

[0015] Furthermore, a column is provided on the upper surface of the drive gear, and a second sleeve is provided at the bottom of the rotating bracket for the column to be inserted.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotating bracket is symmetrically provided with buckles on both sides, and the turntable cover is provided with symmetrically distributed buckles for limiting the buckles.

[0017] Furthermore, positioning bones are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rotating support, and positioning blocks are provided on both sides of the turntable cover on the rotating support. The positioning blocks are provided with notch areas for the positioning bones to rotate.

[0018] Furthermore, the rotating bracket is provided with multiple sockets, and the bottom of the knob is provided with a plug that is compatible with the sockets.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This invention, by setting up a rotating bracket and a knob, allows the rotating bracket to engage with the drive gear when the drive shaft and the drive gear are not properly engaged (i.e., the drive shaft is lifting the drive gear). By rotating the knob, the rotating bracket can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear to rotate. During the rotation of the drive gear, if the engagement between the locking block on the drive shaft and the drive gear is misaligned, the drive gear can fall back onto the drive shaft under the action of gravity. This allows for adjustment of the drive gear, facilitating proper engagement between the drive gear and the drive shaft and simplifying the installation process. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-11 The detachable rotating disc structure of this utility model foot bath includes:

[0036] The turntable cover 2 is located at the bottom inside the foot bath casing 1;

[0037] The drive shaft 3 is located inside the foot bath housing 1 below the turntable cover 2. Its lower end is used to connect with the power component 4. The output end of the power component 4 is provided with a worm gear 41. The lower end of the drive shaft 3 is provided with a worm wheel 42 that meshes with the worm gear 41.

[0038] The drive gear 5 is limited and sleeved on the drive shaft 3;

[0039] The rotating bracket 6 is rotatably mounted on the turntable cover 2 and located below the turntable cover 2. The rotating bracket 6 is provided with a linkage 7 for cooperating with the drive gear 5.

[0040] The knob 8 is rotatably mounted on the turntable cover 2 and cooperates with the rotating bracket 6. It is used to drive the drive gear 5 to rotate by rotating when the drive shaft 3 lifts the drive gear 5.

[0041] If the positioning of the drive gear 5 and the drive shaft 3 on the housing is inaccurate during installation, the rotary bracket 6 can be rotated by slowly turning the knob 8. Under the action of the linkage 7, the drive gear 5 will follow the rotation of the rotary bracket 6 to achieve adjustment of the drive gear 5. During the rotation of the drive gear 5, when the positioning between the drive gear 5 and the drive shaft 3 is accurate, it will fall onto the drive shaft 3 below under the action of gravity, thus ensuring the normal cooperation between the drive gear 5 and the drive shaft 3.

[0042] In one embodiment, the drive shaft 3 is provided with symmetrically distributed locking blocks 31 on both sides, and a first sleeve 51 for sleeved on the drive shaft 3 is provided below the drive gear 5. The first sleeve 51 is provided with symmetrically distributed stop blocks 52.

[0043] In the engaged state, the locking block 31 is inserted into the first sleeve 51, the drive shaft 3 rotates, and the locking block 31 drives the stop block 52 to move, thereby driving the drive gear 5 to rotate;

[0044] In the jacked-up state, the locking block 31 holds the stop block 52, and the drive shaft 3 and the drive gear 5 are not engaged. The knob 8 drives the rotating bracket 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear 5 to rotate until the locking block 31 and the stop block 52 are misaligned. Then, the drive gear 5 falls down and engages with the drive shaft 3. This design allows for adjustment of the drive gear 5 by rotating the rotating bracket 6 via the knob 8 when the drive gear 5 and the drive shaft 3 are not engaged, i.e., during the process of the drive shaft 3 jacking up the drive gear 5. This ensures that the drive gear 5 and the drive shaft 3 are properly engaged.

[0045] In one embodiment, the linkage 7 includes a first baffle 71 evenly distributed on the upper surface of the drive gear 5 and a second baffle 72 disposed on the lower surface of the rotating bracket 6 for matching the first baffle 71. This design, by providing the first baffle 71 and the second baffle 72, allows the drive gear 5 to rotate when it is lifted by the drive shaft 3. In this state, rotating the rotating bracket 6 drives the drive gear 5 to rotate. When the drive gear 5 is normally engaged with the drive shaft 3, there is a gap between the drive gear 5 and the rotating bracket 6. In this case, the first baffle 71 and the second baffle 72 do not interfere with each other, thus not affecting the normal rotation of the drive gear 5.

[0046] In one embodiment, one side of the first baffle 71 and the second baffle 72 is set as a straight surface, and the other side is set as an inclined surface. This design allows the rotating bracket 6 to drive the drive gear 5 to rotate when the drive gear 5 is lifted, thanks to the straight surface cooperation of the first baffle 71 and the second baffle 72. Furthermore, by setting the other side of the first baffle 71 and the second baffle 72 as inclined surfaces, even if the drive gear 5 is lifted during rotation, the rotating bracket 6 will not affect the normal rotation of the drive gear 5 due to the cooperation of the inclined surfaces of the first baffle 71 and the second baffle 72.

[0047] In one embodiment, a column 53 is provided on the upper surface of the drive gear 5, and a second sleeve 61 for inserting the column 53 is provided at the bottom of the rotating bracket 6. This design, by providing the column 53 on the drive gear 5 and the second sleeve 61 on the rotating bracket 6, ensures that when the drive gear 5 is lifted, the column 53 is inserted into the second sleeve 61, providing a limiting effect during the rotation of the drive gear 5 by the rotating bracket 6, thus preventing positional misalignment between the rotating bracket 6 and the drive gear 5 during rotation.

[0048] In one embodiment, the rotating bracket 6 is symmetrically provided with buckles 62 on both sides, and the turntable cover 2 is provided with symmetrically distributed locking positions 21 for limiting the buckles 62. The direction in which the buckles 62 are screwed into the locking positions 21 is consistent with the rotation direction of the drive shaft 3 during operation. If the drive gear 5 moves upward during operation, the first stop 71 and the second stop 72 in this direction are inclined planes, so that the rotating bracket 6 will not affect the rotation of the drive gear 5. With this design, by setting the cooperation between the buckles 62 and the locking positions 21, after the rotating bracket 6 adjusts the drive gear 5, the rotating bracket 6 can be rotated again until the buckles 62 are engaged in the locking positions 21.

[0049] In one embodiment, positioning bones 63 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rotating support 6, and positioning blocks 22 are provided on both sides of the rotating support 6 on the turntable cover 2. Each positioning block 22 has a notch area 23 for allowing the positioning bones 63 to rotate. This design, by providing the positioning bones 63 and the notch area 23, allows the rotating support 6 to rotate within the notch area 23, thus limiting the rotation angle of the knob 8 and the rotating support 6.

[0050] In one embodiment, the rotating bracket 6 is provided with a plurality of sockets 64, and the bottom of the knob 8 is provided with a post 81 that is adapted to the sockets 64. This design, by providing the cooperation between the sockets 64 and the post 81, facilitates the rotation of the rotating bracket 6 during the rotation of the knob 8.

[0051] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
