[0002] Foot bath tubs are a common health care product widely used in many households. After a long day of work or study, people's feet often feel tired, and soaking their feet in a foot bath tub is a relaxing option. Current foot bath tubs generally have a manual drain outlet. After soaking, users need to bend over and remove the drain plug to empty the tub, which is a slow natural drainage method. To speed up drainage, users need to manually pour the water out of the tub, which not only increases labor intensity but also easily wets the floor. For people with mobility issues, frequently getting up to empty the water is also inconvenient. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a foot bath tub that can both achieve water circulation and rapid drainage. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example 1

[0028] See Figure 1This embodiment provides a foot bath tub, which includes a tub body 10, a three-way pipe 20, a drain switch 50, and a power unit 60.

[0029] The barrel body 10 includes a barrel bottom 11 and a barrel wall 12. The barrel bottom 11 is provided with a first opening 111, and the barrel wall 12 is provided with a second opening 122.

[0030] The three-way pipe 20 includes a first port 21, a second port 22, and a third port 23. The first port 21 is connected to a first opening 111 via a first conduit 31. The second port 22 is connected to a second opening 122 via a second conduit 32. The third port 23 is connected to a drain outlet 40 via a third conduit 33. A drain switch 50 is located in the third conduit 33. A power unit 60 is located in the first conduit 31. The power unit 60 is used to drive water circulation within the tank via the first conduit 31 and the second conduit 32 when the drain switch 50 is closed; alternatively, the power unit 60 is used to accelerate the emptying of water from the tank when the drain switch is open. In this embodiment, the first port 21 and the third port 23 of the three-way pipe 20 are arranged horizontally, while the second port 22 is arranged vertically upwards. The drain outlet 40 is located near the ground.

[0031] In this embodiment, after the user finishes soaking their feet, they open the drain switch 50 and then turn on the power device 60. The power device 60 quickly draws water from the first pipe 31, from the first opening 111 to the power device 60, and discharges it through the drain switch 50. At this time, the water flows horizontally towards the drain outlet 40 after passing through the three-way pipe 20. The power device 60 and the drain switch 50 are relatively close to each other, so the water sprayed from the outlet of the power device 60 can quickly pass through the drain outlet 40 without resistance. At the same time, the water flowing out from the upward-facing second port 22 at the three-way pipe 20 needs to overcome gravitational potential energy. Only a small portion of the water reaches a certain height and then flows down because it cannot overcome gravitational potential energy. When there is enough water, it will form a communication vessel with the foot bath container, and the water level will be maintained at the same level as the inside of the foot bath. There will be no situation where some water returns to the foot bath through the second pipe 32 while the foot bath is being drained. In other words, the water in the foot bath 1 can not only drain naturally under its own weight and pressure, but the power device 60 can also accelerate the drainage after the foot bath is finished.

[0032] Therefore, compared to existing technologies, this embodiment, by placing the drain switch 50 between the power unit 60 and the drain outlet, greatly improves the user experience without increasing costs: allowing the power unit 60 to easily circulate the foot bath water. It also addresses the technical problem of slow drainage after use of the existing foot bath tub 1, achieving a simple structure and rapid drainage effect.

[0033] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment, the foot bath tub 1 may further be provided with a third opening 123 on the tub wall 12. The third opening 123 is located near the top of the tub wall and is connected to the drain outlet 40 via a fourth pipe 34, or connected to a third pipe 33 near the drain outlet 40. The position of the third opening 123 is higher than that of the second opening 122. In this embodiment, the third opening 123 is an overflow preventer. When the foot bath tub 1 is filled with too much water, the excess water can be drained through the overflow preventer, thus keeping the highest water level of the foot bath tub 1 below the height of the tub wall and preventing water from overflowing from the top of the tub.

[0034] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the foot bath tub 1 may further include a filter structure 70, which is detachably disposed in the first opening 111 or the second opening 122 via a slot 71 for filtering impurities from the circulating water.

[0035] In one embodiment, the filter structure can be a single-layer or multi-layer structure. In one embodiment, the single-layer structure can be a filter screen made of stainless steel or plastic with a pore size of 0.2-0.5 mm to effectively filter impurities, medicinal residue, and dead skin cells from the feet in the water. In another embodiment, the multi-layer structure can be a layer of filter cotton, a layer of PP cotton, and a layer of activated carbon stacked sequentially. The first layer of filter cotton typically uses a coarse-pore filter material to filter larger impurities, such as medicinal residue and leaves; the second layer of PP cotton uses a fine-pore filter material to further filter small particles in the water; the third layer of activated carbon may use activated carbon or other adsorption materials to remove odors, pigments, and some harmful substances from the water. Compared to a single-layer structure, a multi-layer structure has higher filtration precision and can effectively remove various impurities and harmful substances from the water, improving the cleanliness and hygiene of the water. Combinations of different filter materials can filter and adsorb different types of impurities, resulting in a more comprehensive filtration effect.

[0036] refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, the foot bath tub 1 may further include a medicine pack structure 80, which includes a fixing structure 81 disposed near the second opening 122 and a medicine pack 82 disposed on the fixing structure 81. In this embodiment, the fixing structure 81 may be a mesh hanging basket, which includes hooks and a basket connected to each other. The hooks may be suspended from the top of the side wall of the foot bath tub 1, and the hanging basket is used to hold the medicine pack 82. In this embodiment, the medicine pack 82 is placed in the hanging basket facing the second opening 122 so that the circulating water can quickly disperse the medicinal ingredients of the medicine pack into the water through circulation.

[0037] refer to Figure 5In one embodiment, the foot bath tub 1 may further include a heating device 90, which is disposed in the first pipe 31 or the second pipe 32 (the second pipe is used as an example in the figure) for heating or keeping warm the water circulating through the first pipe 31 and the second pipe 32.

[0038] In one embodiment, after the drain switch 50 is closed, the power unit 60 is turned on, and then the heating device 90 is turned on to heat the water. Water is drawn upward from the second port 22 of the three-way pipe 20, flows through the heating device 90, and its temperature rises. Then, it flows back into the foot bath tub 1 from the second opening 122. Hot water is continuously injected into the foot bath tub 1 through circulation, thus achieving the function of heating the water in the foot bath tub 1. In another embodiment, during the foot bath process, by setting a temperature sensor inside the tub, the heating device 90 can be controlled according to the water temperature. When the water temperature is lower than the first preset temperature, for example, 40 degrees Celsius, the heating device 90 is turned on to raise the water temperature. When the water temperature is higher than the second preset temperature, for example, 42 degrees Celsius, the heating device 90 is turned off to allow the water temperature to drop naturally. In this way, the water temperature can be controlled within a preset temperature range, for example, between 40 and 42 degrees Celsius. Alternatively, using a temperature sensor to detect the water temperature in real time and automatically controlling the heating device 90 according to the water temperature can also achieve the effect of constant temperature water circulation, for example, keeping the water temperature at around 41 degrees Celsius.

[0039] In one embodiment, the direction of the circulating water flow can be controlled by the power device 60. For example, during the heating of the circulating water, the first opening 111 is the inlet and the second opening 122 is the outlet. The water sprayed from the second opening can prevent the hot water from scalding the soles of the feet. When the circulating water is not heated, the first opening 111 is the outlet and the second opening 122 is the inlet. At this time, the water sprayed from the first opening 111 at the bottom of the bucket 11 can massage the soles of the feet.

[0040] See Figure 6 The foot bath tub 1 may further include a disinfection structure 100, which is disposed in the first pipe 31 or the second pipe 32 (in this embodiment, the second pipe is used as an example) for disinfecting the water circulating through the first pipe 31 or the second pipe 32. In one embodiment, the disinfection structure 100 is an ultraviolet disinfection device or a saline slow-release device. In one embodiment, the disinfection structure 100 is detachably inserted into the first pipe 31 or the second pipe 32 through the first opening 111 or the second opening 122. In one embodiment, the ultraviolet disinfection device is a hollow cylindrical ultraviolet light-emitting device with a transparent inner wall. When the circulating water flows through the hollow pipe formed by the transparent inner wall, the light irradiates the water to sterilize it. In one embodiment, the saline slow-release device is a hollow cylindrical saline container with one or more capillary channels on its inner wall. When the circulating water flows through the hollow pipe formed by the inner wall of the saline container, the capillary channels slowly release saline into the circulating water through the saline osmotic pressure.

[0041] See Figure 7 The foot bath tub 1 further includes a control board 130, which is connected to a drain switch 50 and a power unit 60. The control board 130 is used to turn off the drain switch 50 and / or start the power unit 60 when the foot bath tub is in operation. The control board 130 is also used to turn on the drain switch 50 and start the power unit 60 when the foot bath tub is in a draining state. Optionally, this embodiment also includes a temperature sensor (not shown) connected to the control board 130.

[0042] The control board 130 of this embodiment can realize at least three working modes of the foot bath tub: 1. When the drain switch 50 is closed and the heating device 90 and the power device 60 are working, a constant temperature water circulation system is realized; 2. When the drain switch 50 is closed and the heating device 90 and the power device 60 are not working, the foot bath tub 1 maintains a sealed container filled with water to realize the function of ordinary foot bath; 3. When the drain switch 50 is open and the power device 60 is working, the suction force of the power device 60 is used to quickly and directly draw water to the drain switch 50 position and discharge it through the drain outlet 40 to achieve a rapid drainage effect.

[0043] In one embodiment, the drain switch 50 can be an automatic switch or a manual switch, and the drain switch 50 can be a solenoid valve or an electric brake. In one embodiment, the electric brake can include a motor and a baffle driven by the motor. The baffle has at least two rotation positions. In one rotation position, the baffle seals and blocks the pipe, preventing drainage. In the other rotation position, the baffle avoids the water passage in the pipe to allow drainage. In one embodiment, the power unit 60 includes at least one of a water pump, a centrifugal pump, and a vacuum pump.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, combinations, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
