Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot bath technology, and in particular to a foot bath with a folding knee support structure. Background Technology
[0002] Hot foot baths are an effective physiotherapy and health care method in traditional Chinese medicine's sweating therapy. When the feet are stimulated by external temperature, blood vessels in the feet dilate, increasing skin temperature. Combined with the massage of reflex zones on the soles of the feet and the effect of magnetism, this promotes the upward flow of qi, blood, and body fluids along the meridians, accelerating blood circulation in the feet and throughout the body. It disperses deposits on the soles of the feet and eliminates fatigue substances in the body, ensuring smooth and improved blood circulation. This, in turn, regulates the function of various endocrine systems, stimulating the secretion of various hormones. Currently, existing foot bath basins generally only cover a small portion of the feet, ankles, and calves. Furthermore, since many acupoints are located near the knees, and the depth of foot bath basins is generally no more than 30cm, this insufficient depth prevents these acupoints from being reached.
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, existing technologies include far-infrared lamps mounted on both sides of the tub that can rotate and cover the knees. The heat effect of these lamps promotes blood circulation and improves metabolism, thus protecting the knees. However, because these lamps are supported and adjusted via flexible support tubes, which are highly elastic, they rebound after adjustment, requiring multiple adjustments to achieve the desired angle. Furthermore, the tub has a fixed control panel and a separate, removable cover. Adjusting the heat of the far-infrared lamps requires manually operating the control panel to avoid the lamps above the knees, making adjustment inconvenient. The separate cover is also cumbersome to open and close. Utility Model Content
