Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot bath health care technology, specifically a convenient Chinese herbal fumigation foot bath basin. Background Technology
[0002] The Chinese herbal fumigation foot bath basin is a health care device that combines the functions of Chinese herbal fumigation and foot bath. Its main working principle combines the principles of Chinese herbal fumigation and foot bath. Chinese herbal fumigation uses the warmth of steam to release the Chinese herbal ingredients in the form of steam ions, which penetrate into the body through the pores of the skin on the feet, exerting effects such as promoting blood circulation, warming the meridians and dispelling cold, and dispelling wind and dampness. The principle of foot bath is to heat the water to a suitable temperature through a heating device, which provides warmth and stimulation to the feet, promotes blood circulation in the feet, dilates blood vessels, and at the same time, the buoyancy and pressure of the water can also relax the muscles.
[0003] Traditional foot baths typically involve placing Chinese herbs directly into the basin and adding hot water for steaming. However, this method has several shortcomings in practical use. For example, in terms of cleaning, a large amount of herbal residue remains in the basin after the foot bath. This residue not only adheres to the inner wall and bottom of the basin but can even enter the drain pipe. Cleaning the basin requires repeated wiping and rinsing, and the small residues adhering to the bottom are difficult to reach with conventional cleaning tools, often requiring a lot of time and effort and proving difficult to clean thoroughly. Furthermore, during the foot bath, the herbs may break into small pieces or fragments due to soaking and water flow. These small fragments constantly rub against the skin of the feet, allowing users to clearly feel these foreign objects sliding between the soles and toes. Especially some harder herbal fragments may cause a slight stinging sensation, which may be unbearable for some people with sensitive skin, potentially leading them to abandon the use of Chinese herbal foot baths altogether, thus severely interfering with the comfortable experience of a foot bath. Utility Model Content
[0004] One of the technical problems this application aims to solve is that traditional foot bath basins typically involve directly placing Chinese herbal medicines into the basin and adding a certain amount of hot water to achieve fumigation.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a convenient herbal fumigation foot bath basin, including a basin body 1. A fixing seat 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the middle of the basin body 1. A slanted insertion hole 20 is opened in the middle of the fixing seat 2. A filter frame 21 is inserted into the middle of the fixing seat 2. An insert plate 24 is fixedly installed on one side of the filter frame 21. A sliding hole 25 is opened on one side of the middle of the insert plate 24. A sliding hole 26 is opened on one side of the other end of the insert plate 24. The sliding hole 25 and the sliding hole 26 are connected. A fixing block 27 is fixedly installed in the middle of the sliding hole 25. Both ends of the fixing block 27 are fixedly connected with spring pieces. 28. A rod 29 is fixedly installed on one side of each of the two spring pieces 28. A lever 30 is fixedly installed at one end of the middle of each of the two rods 29. The two rods 29 are slidably engaged with the two sides of the middle of the first sliding hole 25. The two levers 30 are slidably engaged with the two sides of the middle of the second sliding hole 26. The two rods 29 are engaged with the two inclined insertion holes 20. The filter frame 21 is inserted into the inclined insertion hole 20 opened in the fixed base 2 through the rod 29 in the middle of the insertion plate 24. A top cover 22 is engaged at the top of the middle of the filter frame 21. A lever 23 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper end of the top cover 22.
[0025] In this embodiment, a filter frame 21 is used to place the herbal medicine pack or herbs, making it convenient to use and replace. Users can choose different types of herbs or herbal medicine packs to place in the filter frame 21 according to their own physical condition and needs. This effectively prevents the herbs from scattering and floating randomly in the basin 1, avoiding herbal residue from mixing into the water and reducing the foreign body sensation caused by herbal residue touching the user's feet. It also makes the water easier to clean after the foot bath and prevents herbal residue from clogging the drain. After use, simply remove the filter frame 21, pour out the herbal residue, and then rinse the filter frame 21. This reduces the difficulty and time of cleaning. At the same time, the presence of the filter frame 21 does not hinder the circulation of water in the basin. During the heating and circulation process, the water can fully contact the herbs, so that the herbal components are evenly distributed in the water, improving the effect. To improve the utilization rate of traditional Chinese medicine, the water temperature can be more evenly felt on the feet. The filter frame 21 is fixed to one side of the middle of the basin 1 by the insertion rod 29 on the insertion plate 24 and the inclined insertion hole 20 on the fixing seat 2. This ensures that the filter frame 21 will not shake or fall off during use. After use, pinch the two levers 30 and squeeze them inward towards the sliding hole 26. During this process, you will feel the insertion rod 29 moving inward against the elastic force of the spring piece 28 in the sliding hole 25. After the insertion rod 29 is completely disengaged from the inclined insertion hole 20, hold the main body of the filter frame 21 and pull the filter frame 21 out of the fixing seat 2 to complete the disassembly of the filter frame 21. This allows the filter frame 21 to be quickly removed from the fixing seat 2, making it convenient to clean the filter frame 21, remove the traditional Chinese medicine residue, and keep the basin 1 clean for the next use.
[0026] Example 2: As Figure 1-3 As shown, a partition 11 is fixedly installed in the middle of the basin 1. A notch 13 is opened at one end of the partition 11. A filter frame 21 is installed at the end of the partition 11 where the notch 13 is opened. Multiple through holes 12 are evenly opened in the middle of the partition 11. A base 16 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the basin 1. Multiple sets of electric heating plates 17 are evenly fixedly installed at the upper end of the base 16. Multiple massage balls 14 are evenly rotatably installed at the bottom of the basin 1. A cover plate 18 is rotatably connected to one side of the upper end of the basin 1 via a hinge. An operation screen 19 is fixedly installed in the middle of the cover plate 18. A drain pipe 15 is connected and fixed to one side of the middle of one end of the basin 1.
[0027] In this embodiment, the partition 11 divides the basin 1 into different areas. A filter frame 21 is installed at the notch 13 to make the area for placing Chinese medicine relatively independent, avoiding direct contact between the Chinese medicine and components such as the massage balls 14, which could affect their function or cause blockage. It also helps to concentrate the steam from the Chinese medicine and enhance the fumigation effect. Multiple massage balls 14, which are rotatably installed at the bottom of the basin 1, can massage the feet during the foot bath, stimulate acupoints, promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue, and increase the user's comfort experience. Multiple sets of electric heating plates 17 at the top of the base 16 can quickly and evenly heat the water in the basin, keeping the water temperature suitable and providing good temperature conditions for Chinese medicine fumigation and foot bath. At the same time, the temperature can be precisely controlled in conjunction with the operation screen 19. A fixed drain pipe 15 is connected to the middle of one end of the basin 1, which makes it convenient to drain the water in the basin after use without manual pouring, reducing the trouble of operation and helping to keep the surrounding environment clean. Through the operation screen 19 in the middle of the cover 18, the user can easily control various functions of the foot bath basin, such as adjusting the temperature and setting the massage mode. The operation is intuitive and convenient, reducing the user's threshold for use.
[0028] like Figure 1-5As shown, when using the foot bath, first select the appropriate Chinese medicine or herbal pack according to personal needs and place it in the filter frame 21. Then, snap the top cover 22 onto the filter frame 21 to ensure that the Chinese medicine does not leak out. Next, snap the filter frame 21 into place by engaging the insert rod 29 on the insert plate 24 with the inclined insertion hole 20 on the fixing base 2, and install it at the end of the partition plate 11 with the notch 13. Then, add an appropriate amount of water to the basin 1. The user can adjust the temperature of the foot bath basin through the control panel 19 on the cover plate 18 to suit different needs and preferences. The electric heating plate 17 on the base 16 can be activated to heat the water in the basin 1. As the water temperature rises, the effective ingredients of the Chinese medicine or herbal pack in the filter frame 21 are gradually released into the water under the soaking of hot water. Due to the separating effect of the partition 11, the area containing the traditional Chinese medicine is relatively independent, which is conducive to the more concentrated release of the medicinal ingredients in this area. Furthermore, through the multiple through-holes 12 in the middle of the partition 11, the water containing the medicinal ingredients can exchange with the water in other areas of the basin 1, distributing it evenly throughout the entire basin 1. When the water temperature reaches a suitable level, the user places their feet into the basin 1. At this time, the steam generated by the hot water carries the medicinal ingredients upwards, providing a steaming effect on the feet. Meanwhile, the massage ball 14 at the bottom of the basin 1 rotates under the pressure and movement of the user's feet, massaging the feet, stimulating acupoints and reflex zones, promoting blood circulation, and enhancing the body's metabolism. The Chinese medicine ingredients are absorbed by the body through the skin and acupoints, playing a role in regulating the body and relieving fatigue. After use, first turn off the power of the electric heating plate 17 and massage ball 14 through the control panel 19, then open the drain pipe 15 to drain the water in the basin 1. Since the Chinese medicine residue is intercepted by the filter frame 21 during use, there will be no blockage of the drain pipe 15 when draining. Then push the lever 30 on the insert plate 24 to make the insert 29 disengage from the inclined insert hole 20, remove the filter frame 21, pour out the Chinese medicine residue inside and clean it, and finally put the cover plate 18 back on the basin 1 for the next use.
