Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of health care, specifically to a three-way diverter and a foot bath device. Background Technology
[0002] Existing foot bath devices work by pressurizing and spraying warm water vapor to form a fluid jet, which then impacts the feet to create a massage effect. The generation of this fluid jet relies on a water vapor pressurization component. Furthermore, the massage component has multiple massage nozzles symmetrically arranged in two rows, requiring water vapor to be delivered to these nozzles. During the water vapor delivery process, there are numerous bends in the water vapor transmission path, which can cause water vapor to directly impact the pipe walls, reducing flow velocity and generating noise. Additionally, the distance between the outlet of the water vapor pressurization component and the two rows of massage nozzles is relatively large, requiring the water vapor delivery pipe to be of sufficient length. Longer pipes are prone to folding and bending, further reducing water vapor flow velocity and generating noise. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects of existing foot bath water vapor pressurization components, which reduce flow rate and generate noise due to excessive bending during water vapor transportation. This invention provides a three-way diverter and foot bath to ensure water vapor flow rate and reduce noise caused by water vapor impacting the pipe wall.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the three-way diverter of this utility model includes an integral inlet pipe, a first outlet pipe, and a second outlet pipe. The first outlet pipe and the second outlet pipe are symmetrically arranged and gently divert the flow from the same end of the inlet pipe to both sides of the inlet pipe's extension direction. This avoids water vapor directly impacting the pipe wall, thus reducing the water vapor flow velocity, preventing noise caused by water vapor impacting the pipe wall, and ensuring uniform flow diversion.
[0005] Preferably, the three-way diverter is Y-shaped, which allows water vapor from the inlet pipe to be smoothly diverted to the first outlet pipe and the second outlet pipe, avoiding water vapor from directly impacting the pipe wall and reducing the water vapor flow rate, avoiding noise caused by water vapor impacting the pipe wall, and ensuring uniform diversion.
[0006] The foot bath device of this utility model includes:
[0007] Foot bath cavity;
[0008] The massage assembly includes multiple massage nozzles protruding from the foot bath cavity. The massage nozzles are configured with spray holes and are symmetrically distributed in two rows. The massage nozzles in the left row are configured with a left water vapor dispersion channel, and the massage nozzles in the right row are configured with a right water vapor dispersion channel.
[0009] A divider plate defines the lower space below it;
[0010] Heating and atomizing components for heating atomized water;
[0011] A water vapor pressurization component, located in the lower space, is used to pressurize the water vapor generated by the heating atomization component and deliver it to the massage nozzle. The outlet end of the water vapor pressurization component is connected to the inlet pipe of the three-way diverter of this utility model. The first outlet pipe is connected to the left water vapor dispersion channel via the first diverter pipe, and the second outlet pipe is connected to the right water vapor dispersion channel via the second diverter pipe.
[0012] Therefore, direct impact of water vapor on the pipe wall is avoided, which would reduce the water vapor flow rate and prevent noise caused by water vapor impacting the pipe wall. Furthermore, the water vapor from the inlet pipe of the three-way diverter can be evenly distributed to the two rows of massage nozzles, ensuring that the spray massage effect of the two rows of massage nozzles is consistent.
[0013] Preferably, the first and / or second branch pipes are positioned and constrained by positioning mounting elements to prevent folding or bending of the first and / or second branch pipes.
[0014] Preferably, the water vapor pressurization assembly includes a steam pump, a delivery pipe, and a first check valve, a control valve, a storage tank, and a first heating element disposed in the delivery pipe path, all located in the lower space. The first check valve and the control valve are connected in series in the delivery pipe path between the steam pump and the first heating element. The storage tank is connected in the delivery pipe path between the first check valve and the control valve. The first check valve controls the flow of water vapor from the steam pump to the control valve. At least a portion of the delivery pipe is constrained and positioned by a positioning mounting component to prevent the delivery pipe from folding or bending.
[0015] Preferably, the positioning and mounting component includes a main body comprising an integrally connected upper horizontal section, a lower horizontal section, and a vertical section connecting the upper and lower horizontal sections. The upper horizontal section is fixed to a partition plate, and the lower horizontal section constrains the positioning pipeline. The vertical section maintains a distance between the lower horizontal section and the conveying pipe and the upper horizontal section. The positioning and mounting component suspends and positions the conveying pipe, reducing vibration and preventing collision noise between components. Furthermore, the positioning and mounting component supports the conveying pipe, preventing it from bending and reducing resistance to water vapor flow.
[0016] Preferably, the positioning and mounting component includes a mating part, and the mating part and / or the lower horizontal part are provided with a positioning groove, with the pipeline located in the positioning groove. The mating part can better position and fix the delivery pipe to the lower horizontal part.
[0017] Preferably, the mating part and the lower horizontal part are connected together by fasteners, which also constrain and position the pipeline. This ensures that the mating part and the lower horizontal part are reliably assembled and the delivery pipe is positioned and fixed, preventing the delivery pipe from loosening or shifting.
[0018] Preferably, the positioning and mounting component includes a bending member with a bending groove along its length for positioning and fixing the conveying pipe. The bending member is installed on the lower horizontal portion of at least one main body. Accordingly, the conveying pipe can be laid in the bending groove, positioning and fixing a longer pipe section rather than a shorter local section. This allows for more reliable positioning and fixing of the conveying pipe and prevents deformation, displacement, and reduction of the flow area when the conveying pipe turns or changes direction.
[0019] Preferably, the bending component includes a first fastening part and a second fastening part, which are fastened together. Accordingly, after placing the conveying pipe in the bending groove, the assembly is completed by fastening the first fastening part and the second fastening part together, which is convenient to operate.
[0020] Preferably, the positioning and mounting components are made of a flexible material to enhance vibration damping.
[0021] This invention connects the outlet end of the water vapor pressurization component to the inlet pipe of the three-way diverter, connects the first outlet pipe of the three-way diverter to the left water vapor dispersion channel of the massage component via the first diverter pipe, and connects the second outlet pipe of the three-way diverter to the right water vapor dispersion channel of the massage component via the second diverter pipe. This makes the first and second outlet pipes symmetrically divert water vapor from the same end of the inlet pipe to both sides of the inlet pipe extension direction, thus avoiding direct impact of water vapor on the pipe wall, which would reduce the water vapor flow rate and generate noise, and ensuring uniform water vapor distribution.

[0047] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0048] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such as a method or product that includes a series of technical features, not limited to those technical features explicitly listed, but also including other technical features that may be included in the method or product but not explicitly listed.
[0049] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the technical features defined by terms such as "first" and "second" which have a sequential concept are only for the purpose of clearly describing the defined technical features and making the defined technical features clearly distinguishable from other technical features, and do not represent that they are named in this way in actual implementation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0050] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0051] Figure 1 , Figure 7 A foot bath device is shown, comprising: an upper housing 500, a lower housing 700, a foot bath cavity, a massage component 100, a heating and atomizing component 200, a water vapor pressurization component 300, and a controller.
[0052] The foot bath chamber is defined between the upper housing 500 and the massage component 100. The upper housing 500 has an opening 501 for the feet to enter and exit the foot bath chamber. The upper housing 500 also has an insertion port 502 for inserting a water bottle 800 to add water to the heated atomizing water tank 210. The upper housing 500 is also equipped with a control panel 503 for displaying the working status of the foot bath and for operating the foot bath.
[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 8As shown, the massage assembly 100 includes multiple massage nozzles 130 with configured jet holes. The massage nozzles 130 are distributed on the upper side of the mounting plate 120 and protrude from the foot bath cavity. The multiple massage nozzles are symmetrically arranged in two rows, with the left row of massage nozzles configured with a left water vapor dispersion channel 141 and the right row of massage nozzles configured with a right water vapor dispersion channel 142. The left and right water vapor dispersion channels are isolated from each other. Each massage nozzle is connected to the corresponding left or right water vapor dispersion channel on the lower side of the mounting plate 120 via a tubular shaft.
[0054] The installation disk 120 has a lower side with Figure 8-9 The water vapor dispersion plate 140 shown is a plate-shaped component with water vapor dispersion channels distributed on it. These channels are used to disperse the delivered water vapor to distribute it evenly to each massage nozzle. Figure 8-9 In the structure shown, grooves of a corresponding shape are arranged on the water vapor dispersion plate, and then a cover plate is used to cover the grooves to form a water vapor dispersion channel. In other embodiments, the grooves can be placed on the cover plate, and the cover plate can be assembled onto the water vapor dispersion plate to form a water vapor dispersion channel. Figure 9 In the diagram, the water vapor dispersion plate 140 is cut by two planes perpendicular to the water vapor dispersion plate 140, passing through the left water vapor dispersion channel 141 and the input interface 143 respectively, thus clearly showing the position and structure of the input interface 143 and the mounting interface 144. Multiple mounting interfaces 144 are distributed along the left water vapor dispersion channel 141 and the right water vapor dispersion channel 142. Each mounting interface is fixed with... Figure 11 The bushing 145 shown is fixed to the mounting interface 144 by threads, which facilitates assembly and ensures a seal between the bushing and the mounting interface.
[0055] Water vapor is supplied to the water vapor dispersion channel via input interface 143, and then distributed to each massage nozzle. Multiple massage nozzles 130, symmetrically arranged in two rows, form two side-by-side zones, each designed to massage one foot, increasing comfort. The massage assembly 100 is positioned and mounted on a positioning plate 610.
[0056] like Figure 10 As shown, the massage nozzle 130 includes Figure 11 The headstock 131 shown and Figure 12The tubular shaft 132 shown has a headstock 131 with a water vapor chamber 1312 and multiple spray holes 1311 for spraying water vapor outward from the water vapor chamber. The upper end of the tubular shaft 132 is sealed and inserted into the headstock 131 and communicates with the spray holes 1311 through the water vapor chamber 1312. The lower end of the tubular shaft 132 extends into the water vapor dispersion channel to receive water vapor from the channel. This allows each spray hole to spray water vapor with a consistent force. Furthermore, the upper end of the tubular shaft is sealed to the headstock, and the lower end is sealed to the water vapor dispersion plate. This sealing is achieved by fitting sealing rings at corresponding parts of the tubular shaft, ensuring that the massage nozzle rotates flexibly without water vapor leakage. The headstock 131 has a key shaft section 1313, which is square-shaped. The driven gear 150 is fitted onto the key shaft section 1313 through a square hole 151. This ensures that the driven gear drives the massage nozzle.
[0057] A mounting space is maintained between the mounting plate 120 and the water vapor dispersion plate 140, and the mounting space is isolated from the water vapor dispersion channel to prevent water vapor in the water vapor dispersion channel from entering the mounting space and adversely affecting the structures within the mounting space, such as gears. Multiple massage nozzles 130 are rotatably distributed on the upper side of the mounting plate 120 and each is connected to a water vapor dispersion channel. Therefore, the mounting plate serves as the assembly base for the massage nozzles and bears the pressure from the massage nozzles and the feet during a foot bath.
[0058] Specifically, the tubular shaft 132 is fitted with the bushing 145 in a sealed and rotating assembly. For example... Figure 12 As shown, a tubular shaft 132 passes through a bushing 145 and extends downwards to form a lower shaft section 1321. At least one rotating retaining ring 1322 is fitted onto the lower shaft section, acting as a sealing ring. The rotating retaining ring both constrains the tubular shaft to the bushing and provides a seal to prevent moisture leakage from the rotational gap between the tubular shaft and the bushing. Specifically, since the rotating retaining ring is fitted onto the lower shaft section rather than being pressed between the inner walls of the tubular shaft and the bushing, the resistance generated by the rotating retaining ring is smaller when the tubular shaft rotates relative to the bushing, thus ensuring the flexibility of the tubular shaft's rotation. Multiple rotating retaining rings can increase the seal life. The tubular shaft 132 also extends upwards to form an upper shaft section 1323, which is fitted with at least one sealing ring 1324. The sealing ring 1324 is pressed between the upper shaft section 1323 and the head seat 131, thereby ensuring a seal between the tubular shaft and the head seat.
[0059] Multiple driven gears 150 are located within the mounting space and are individually configured with the massage head 130 to rotate the massage head. Specifically, as shown... Figure 10As shown, the driven gear 150 is driven and assembled with the upper shaft section 1323 and the head base 131. The structure shown in the figure has keyed shaft sections 1313 on both the upper shaft section 1323 and the head base 131. The driven gear 150 has a square hole 151, which fits onto the keyed shaft sections 1313 of the upper shaft section 1323 and the head base 131 to rotate the entire massage head, preventing relative rotation between the tubular shaft and the head. The driven gear is driven by the driving gear, which is driven by a motor.
[0060] The heating atomizing assembly 200 is used to heat and atomize water. It includes a heating atomizing water tank 210, a second heating element 220, and an ultrasonic atomizer 230. The second heating element 220 and the ultrasonic atomizer 230 are disposed at the bottom of the heating atomizing water tank 210. After water is added to the heating atomizing water tank, the second heating element and the ultrasonic atomizer are submerged in water to atomize and heat the water into water vapor. Typically, the upper part of the heating atomizing water tank 210 is covered with a... Figure 7 A housing 240 is shown, which, together with the heating and atomizing water tank, defines a diffusion chamber. This allows for the heating and atomizing of the water stored in the heating and atomizing water tank. The diffusion chamber provides space for heating and atomizing, ensuring efficient heating and atomizing. The housing protrudes from the foot bath chamber. The heating and atomizing water tank 210 is located below the partition plate 620. The partition plate 620 and the positioning plate 610 have openings corresponding to the heating and atomizing water tank, connecting the heating and atomizing water tank to the diffusion chamber, promoting efficient heating and atomizing. The side wall of the diffusion chamber has an intake port and a steam channel. The intake port 211 is preferably located on the side wall of the heating and atomizing water tank 210, ensuring it is not submerged in water. The intake port 211 is connected to the steam pump 310 of the steam pressurization assembly 300. The steam channel is located within the housing. At any stage of operation, when the pressure in the diffusion chamber is less than the pressure in the foot bath chamber, the water vapor in the foot bath chamber flows back to the diffusion chamber through the water vapor channel. When the pressure in the foot bath chamber is less than the pressure in the diffusion chamber, the water vapor in the diffusion chamber will escape into the foot bath chamber through the water vapor channel.
[0061] The water vapor pressurization component 300 is used to pressurize the water vapor generated by the heating atomizing component 200 and deliver it to the massage nozzle. For example... Figure 2 , Figure 6 As shown, the water vapor pressurization assembly 300 includes a steam pump 310, a delivery pipe 320, and a first check valve 330, a storage tank 340, a control valve 350, a first heating device 360, a second check valve 370, and a fan 380, all configured in the delivery pipe path.
[0062] The storage tank 340 is connected in the delivery pipeline between the first one-way valve 330 and the control valve 350. The first one-way valve 330 controls the flow of water vapor from the steam pump to the control valve 350, that is, the first one-way valve 330 prevents water vapor from flowing to the steam pump. Accordingly, the control valve 350 can be closed first to fill the storage tank 340 with water vapor. After the air pressure in the storage tank 340 reaches the required pressure, the control valve 350 can be opened to allow the water vapor to flow to the massage nozzle 130 at a certain pressure, thus avoiding insufficient water vapor pressure sprayed from the spray hole.
[0063] When the water vapor produced by the heating atomizing component 200 is insufficient or / and the power of the pressurizing pump is inadequate, the water vapor pressurizing component 300 cannot continuously spray a high-speed water vapor stream. While typical pressurizing pumps, such as airbag pumps, can continuously inflate, they cannot achieve high-pressure air delivery. Forcing the pressurizing pump to deliver high pressure would result in a severe suction sensation above the foot bath cavity and increased pump noise. Therefore, using a storage tank to accumulate and store water vapor, and then intermittently releasing it, ensures that the water vapor pressurizing component 300 can continuously spray a high-speed water vapor stream with lower operating noise. Given the function of the storage tank, it is preferably made of an elastic material, making it function like an elastic bladder. Furthermore, an elastic bladder offers a certain degree of safety compared to a rigid bladder wall.
[0064] The first heating element 360 is used to heat the fluid flowing through it.
[0065] The fan 380 and the second one-way valve 370 are connected in the delivery pipe path between the control valve 350 and the first heating device 360. The second one-way valve 370 controls the airflow generated by the fan 380 to flow towards the first heating device 360, preventing fluid from flowing towards the fan 380. This prevents water vapor from flowing towards the fan when delivering water vapor. Accordingly, closing the control valve 350 and turning on the fan 380 generates airflow to dry the water vapor path downstream of the fan 380. Simultaneously, the first heating device 360 is activated to heat the airflow, resulting in higher drying efficiency and better effect.
[0066] The steam pump has an inlet pipe 390, which connects to the suction port 211 of the heating atomizing assembly 200. One end of the delivery pipe 320 is connected to the outlet of the steam pump 310, and the other end of the delivery pipe 320 is split via a three-way diverter 900. Specifically, as shown... Figure 3 As shown, the three-way diverter 900 is Y-shaped, comprising an integral inlet pipe 901, a first outlet pipe 902, and a second outlet pipe 903. The first outlet pipe 902 and the second outlet pipe 903 are symmetrically arranged, gently diverting the flow from the same end of the inlet pipe 901 to both sides of the inlet pipe's extension direction. The outlet end of the water vapor pressurization assembly 300 (i.e., the other end of the delivery pipe 320) is connected to the inlet pipe 901 of the three-way diverter 900. The first outlet pipe 902 is connected to the left water vapor dispersion channel 141 via the first diverter pipe 904, and the second outlet pipe 903 is connected to the right water vapor dispersion channel 142 via the second diverter pipe 905.
[0067] During foot bath, the steam pump 310 draws water vapor from the heated atomizing water tank 210 through the inlet pipe 390 and the suction port 211 and pressurizes the water vapor. The water vapor flows through the first one-way valve 330, the control valve 350 and the first heating device 360 and then enters the water vapor dispersion left channel and the water vapor dispersion right channel from their respective input interfaces, and is evenly distributed to each massage nozzle.
[0068] The positioning plate 610 and the partition plate 620 keep the foot bath cavity relatively sealed. Under the action of the water vapor pressurization component 300, water vapor circulates between the heating atomizing water tank 210, the water vapor pressurization component 300, the water vapor dispersion left channel and the water vapor dispersion right channel, the massage nozzle 130, the foot bath cavity, and the diffusion cavity.
[0069] The water vapor pressurization component 300 is fixed to the lower space below the partition plate 620 and is shielded by the lower housing 700, and is isolated from the foot bath cavity by the positioning plate 610 and the partition plate 620.
[0070] In particular, Figure 2 , Figure 6 In the structure shown, the pipeline (including the delivery pipe 320 of the water-gas pressurization assembly 300, the first branch pipe 904, and the second branch pipe 905) is selectively positioned and installed using a positioning mounting component 400, and the positioning mounting component 400 is fixed to the partition plate 620 by its upper horizontal part 411. This achieves suspended positioning installation of the pipeline, weakens vibration, and avoids collision noise between various components.
[0071] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the positioning mounting component 400 includes a main body 410, which comprises an upper horizontal portion 411, a lower horizontal portion 412, and a vertical portion 413 connected together. The upper horizontal portion is fixed to the partition plate 620, such as with fasteners, while the lower horizontal portion constrains the positioning pipeline. The vertical portion maintains a distance between the lower horizontal portion, the pipeline, and the upper horizontal portion. The positioning mounting component suspends and positions the pipeline, reducing vibration and preventing collision noise between components. In other embodiments not shown, the positioning mounting component can be used independently to position and fix the pipeline.
[0072] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning mounting member 400 includes a mating part 420, which mates with the lower horizontal part 412 for positioning and installing the pipeline. The mating part allows for better positioning and fixing of the pipeline to the lower horizontal part. Furthermore, the mating part 420 and the lower horizontal part 412 are connected together by a fastener 430 to position and install the pipeline. This ensures reliable assembly and positioning of the pipeline between the mating part and the lower horizontal part, preventing loosening and displacement of the pipeline. The mating part 420 and the lower horizontal part 412 are provided with positioning grooves 421 and 4121 for positioning the pipeline. This not only positions and fixes the pipeline but also prevents the pipeline from being squeezed and deformed, thus affecting the flow of water vapor. In other embodiments, the positioning grooves may be provided only on the mating part or the lower horizontal part.
[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment, the positioning mounting component 400 includes a bending component 440. The bending component 440 has a bending groove 441 along its length for positioning and fixing the pipeline. The bending component 440 is connected to at least one lower horizontal portion 412 of the main body portion 410, such as by fasteners. Accordingly, the pipeline can be laid in the bending groove, and a longer pipe section rather than a shorter section can be positioned and fixed, which can more reliably position and fix the pipeline and avoid deformation, displacement, and reduction of flow area when the pipeline turns or changes direction. The bending component 440 includes a first fastening portion 442 and a second fastening portion 443, which are fastened together. Accordingly, after the pipeline is placed in the bending groove, the first fastening portion and the second fastening portion are fastened together to complete the assembly, which is convenient and easy to install.
[0074] In any embodiment, the positioning mount is made of an elastic material such as rubber. This can cushion vibrations.
[0075] The controller (circuit control board) is fixed to the lower side of the partition plate 620 and concealed by the lower housing 700, and is isolated from the foot bath cavity by the positioning plate 610 and the partition plate 620. The controller is electrically connected to the control panel 503 and the electrical components of the foot bath, such as the air pump 310, the first one-way valve 330, the control valve 350, the first heating element 360, the second one-way valve 370, and the fan 380. The controller is connected to an external power source via a power cord to power the entire foot bath cavity and to control the operation of the foot bath.
[0076] Based on the above structure, the massage assembly delivers warm water vapor to each massage nozzle through the left vapor dispersion channel 141 and the right vapor dispersion channel 142. The warm water vapor is sprayed out from the massage nozzles to stimulate and massage the feet. By driving each massage nozzle to rotate through a power and transmission mechanism, the foot bath experience can be further enhanced.
[0077] The aforementioned foot bath device, when in operation, activates the second heating element 220, ultrasonic atomizer 230, and steam pressurization component 300 via the control panel 503. The heated steam is then ejected from the spray nozzles of the massage head 130. Placing the feet on the corresponding massage head provides a stimulating steam massage. During operation, the pipes are suspended to minimize vibration.
[0078] In particular, using mounting brackets to fix the pipeline can effectively reduce the flow resistance of the pipeline. Since the steam pump is prone to high-frequency vibration during operation, suspending the pipeline between the steam pump outlet and inlet ends with limiting mounting brackets can effectively reduce vibration and noise.
[0079] Furthermore, since the first and / or second branch pipes are relatively long, the first and / or second branch pipes are constrained and positioned by positioning and mounting components to prevent folding and bending.
