Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot bath technology, and in particular to a foot bath with multiple water outlet patterns. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of health awareness, foot baths, as a traditional health preservation method, are becoming increasingly popular. Foot baths can promote blood circulation, relieve fatigue, and improve sleep quality, offering numerous health benefits. Foot bath devices, as household appliances that enable foot baths, are gradually entering thousands of households. Early foot bath devices had relatively simple functions, mainly providing a simple hot water soaking function. A heating device would heat the water to a suitable temperature, allowing the user's feet to relax in the hot water. However, as consumers' demands for the foot bath experience have continued to increase, the simple hot water soaking function can no longer meet people's needs. People want foot bath devices to provide more diversified functions to enhance the effect and enjoyment of foot baths. To meet market demand, the functions of foot bath devices have been continuously enriched and expanded. Among them, the water circulation system has become an important development direction for foot bath devices. The water circulation system uses a water generator to draw water out of the foot bath chamber and then returns the water to the foot bath chamber through a specific outlet, forming a water circulation. This water circulation not only maintains the uniformity of water temperature, but also provides a certain massage effect on the feet, further enhancing the effect of the foot bath.

[0003] Existing foot baths with water circulation functions are typically equipped with a single water outlet component, and their water flow pattern is relatively fixed; for example, they may only have one water jet pattern or one water flow intensity. While such foot baths with a single water flow pattern can provide a massage effect to some extent, the massage experience and needs vary from user to user. Some users may prefer a gentle water flow massage, while others prefer a stronger water jet impact. Furthermore, even the same user may want to experience different water flow patterns depending on the usage scenario or mood. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a foot bath with multiple water outlet patterns.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A foot bath device with multiple water outlet patterns includes a housing and a cover on the housing. The housing forms a foot bath cavity for accommodating the user's feet. The foot bath device also includes a water circulation system, which includes: multiple water outlet components for changing the water outlet pattern, a water flow generator, and a circulation pipe for connecting the water flow generator and the water outlet components. The water flow generator is configured to drive water in the foot bath cavity to flow back to the foot bath cavity through the circulation pipe and the water outlet components.

[0007] The cover has a connecting structure adapted to the water outlet component. The connecting structure has a connecting feature that allows the water outlet component to be detachably assembled to the cover. The plurality of water outlet components are selectively matched with the connecting structure to replace the water outlet component, thereby changing the water outlet pattern.

[0008] Furthermore, the combined structure is configured with an installation cavity, and the water outlet component can be slidably inserted into or removed from the installation cavity to facilitate replacement of the water outlet component.

[0009] Furthermore, the combined structure includes a limiting portion for restricting the sliding of the water outlet component.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting part and the water outlet component are configured to abut and limit each other.

[0036] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0037] Example 1:

[0038] Please see Figures 1-3This utility model discloses a foot bath device with multiple water outlet patterns. The foot bath device mainly consists of a shell 100 and a cover 200, which cooperate to form a complete foot bath space. A foot bath cavity 110 is formed within the shell 100 to accommodate the user's feet. The cover 200 covers the shell 100, leaving a portion of the area for the user's legs to extend into. The water circulation system includes: multiple water outlet components 300 for changing the water outlet pattern, a water flow generator disposed below the water outlet components 300, and a circulation pipe 500 connecting the water flow generator and the water outlets. The water outlet components 300 have water outlets suitable for discharging water into the foot bath cavity 110, and a water flow channel is formed within the circulation pipe 500. The water flow generator is configured to drive water in the foot bath cavity to flow back through the circulation pipe 500 and the water outlet components to the foot bath cavity. In this embodiment, each water outlet component 300 corresponds to a water outlet pattern, allowing for the changing of the water flow pattern. The cover 200 has a connecting structure 230 adapted to the water outlet component 300, which allows for the detachable assembly of the water outlet component 300 to the cover 200. Multiple water outlet components 300 are selectively coupled to the connecting structure 230 to replace the water outlet component 300, thereby changing the water outlet pattern. During the foot bath, the water sprayed from the water outlet component 300 can be used to wash the user's lower limbs and can also circulate as circulating water within the foot bath cavity, improving the foot bath effect. The core invention of this utility model lies in the water outlet component 300 configured on the cover 200 and its corresponding installation structure, enabling easy replacement of the water outlet component 300 to meet different usage and maintenance requirements. The water flow generator, located below the water outlet component 300, is the power source for the water circulation system. Driven by a motor, it draws in foot bath water from the foot bath chamber 110 and delivers it to the water outlet component 300 through the circulation pipe 500. The power and flow rate of the water generator can be selected according to the actual needs of the foot bath to ensure smooth water circulation and good water output. The circulation pipe 500 connects the water generator and the water outlet, forming a water flow channel inside.

[0039] The cover 200 includes a base 220 and a connecting structure 230 disposed below the base 220. The base 220 serves to cover the opening of the housing 100, and its shape is adapted to fit the top opening of the housing 100 and partially covers the top opening of the housing 100. In this embodiment, the base 220 is detachably disposed above the connecting structure 230. This detachable design facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the cover 200. Figure 8As shown, in other embodiments, the connecting structure 230 can be formed by extending downward from the base 220. This integrated design is simple and easy to manufacture and install. The connecting structure 230 has an installation cavity 210 for positioning the water outlet component 300. The installation cavity 210 has an opening 211 through which the water outlet component 300 can be detachably assembled to the connecting structure 230.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 The connecting structure 230 is a key component that mates with the water outlet component 300. It has a mounting cavity 210 with an opening 211 through which the water outlet component 300 can be slidably inserted or removed, thus enabling replacement of the water outlet component 300. Furthermore, the water outlet component 300 is interference-fitted with the mounting cavity 210. Specifically, the connecting structure 230 includes a sliding wall portion 231 that slidably engages with the water outlet component 300 and a limiting portion 232 that prevents the water outlet component 300 from sliding out of bounds. The limiting portion 232 is configured to abut and limit the water outlet component 300. The sliding wall portion 231 is disposed on the periphery of the mounting cavity 210, is interference-fitted with the mounting cavity, and allows the water outlet component 300 to slide smoothly along the sliding wall portion 231. The limiting part 232 is disposed at the sliding end of the water outlet component 300 for installation. When the water outlet component 300 slides to abut against the limiting part 232, it indicates that the water outlet component 300 has been installed in place, preventing the water outlet component 300 from continuing to slide and detaching from the mounting cavity 210. The water outlet component 300 is the core component for realizing various water outlet patterns, and each water outlet component 300 corresponds to one water outlet pattern. The water outlet component 300 has various different structural forms, which are described in detail below.

[0041] Please see Figure 6 , Figure 7In this embodiment, the water outlet component 300 is an inverted T-shaped component, with its outer side wall forming a first sliding portion 340 that slides in conjunction with the sliding wall portion 231. This inverted T-shaped structure design allows the water outlet component 300 to be stably installed within the mounting cavity 210 of the connecting structure 230. The water outlet component 300 includes an inlet component 310 for connecting a water flow channel and an outlet component 320 detachably attached to the inlet component 310. The water outlet component 300 has an outlet, with one end of the inlet component 310 connected to the circulation pipe 500 and the other end connected to the outlet component 320, introducing water flow into the outlet component 320. In this embodiment, the outlet is a plurality of horizontally arranged outlet holes 321 disposed on the outlet component 320. The style, size, and arrangement of the outlet holes 321 on the outlet component 320 can be different, thereby achieving different water outlet patterns. For example, some water outlets 320 have round water outlets 321 that are arranged relatively densely, forming a fine water flow when water is discharged, which is suitable for a gentle massage of the feet; some water outlets 320 have oval water outlets 321 that are arranged relatively sparsely, forming a larger water flow when water is discharged, which is suitable for a stronger impact massage of the feet.

[0042] The foot bath device of this application is also equipped with a water outlet connector 400. The function of the water outlet connector 400 is to connect the water flow channel inside the foot bath device to the water inlet 310 of the water outlet component 300. In this embodiment, the water outlet connector 400 is a right-angle connector. The water inlet of the water outlet connector 400 is connected to the water flow channel inside the foot bath device, and the water outlet is connected to the water inlet 310 or the water inlet part 333. In actual installation, the water outlet connector 400 can be fixedly or detachably installed on the cover. Its water inlet is connected to the internal circulating water through the water flow channel. The pipe can be a flexible hose or a rigid pipe, selected according to the actual installation space and usage requirements. At the same time, in order to ensure smooth water flow, the internal channel diameter of the water outlet connector 400 should be compatible with the water inlet diameter of the water inlet 310 to avoid water blockage or excessive pressure loss.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] Please see Figure 9In another embodiment of this utility model, the water outlet component 300 includes an installation cylinder 330. The installation cylinder 330 includes a water inlet 333, a water outlet 331, and a second sliding part 332 that slidably engages with the sliding wall part 231. Furthermore, a release chamber for placing functional materials (such as bath salts, medicinal herbs, etc.) is formed inside the installation cylinder 330. The water outlet component 300 has a water outlet, which in this embodiment is strip-shaped. The water inlet 333 is used to connect to the circulation pipe 500, introducing water into the installation cylinder 330. The water outlet 331 discharges water from the outlet to form a waterfall-like spray pattern. A through groove is formed inside the sliding wall part 231 for the water inlet 333 to pass through, allowing the installation cylinder 330 to be smoothly slidably installed into the connecting structure 230. A filter element 600 is disposed within the mounting cylinder 330, and a water inlet 333 is disposed within the filter element 600, allowing the water outlet element 300 to be connected to the water flow channel via the filter element 600. The filter element 600 effectively filters out impurities such as dander and hair from the foot bath water, preventing these impurities from entering the water flow generator and circulation pipe 500, causing blockages and damage. Simultaneously, the filter element 600 can be cleaned and replaced periodically to ensure its filtration effect. Furthermore, a magnetic attraction structure capable of magnetic engagement can be disposed between the water outlet element 300 and the limiting part 232. The magnetic attraction structure includes a first magnetic attractor 710 disposed on the mounting cylinder 330 and a second magnetic attractor 720 disposed on the limiting part 232. When the mounting cylinder 330 slides to the limiting part 232, the first and second magnetic attractors engage with each other, making the mounting cylinder 330 more securely installed within the connecting structure 230, preventing loosening due to water flow impact during use.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] Please see Figure 10 , 11 In another embodiment of this utility model, the water outlet component 300 has the same overall appearance as that in embodiment 2. The difference is that in this embodiment, the water outlet component 300 does not have the filter component as in embodiment 2. The water in the circulation pipeline flows directly into the mounting cylinder from one end of the water outlet component. The functional material at the bottom of the mounting cylinder is released under the action of the water flow, and then the water flows out from the outlet. This outlet is the outlet of a waterfall spray structure.

[0047] It should be noted that the water outlet in this embodiment is the water outlet of the waterfall spray structure, and a stop plate is provided in front of the water outlet component in this embodiment to block the front end of the sliding wall. Both of these can also be used in the water outlet component of Embodiment 2 or other structures, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0048] When using the foot bath device of this utility model, the user first introduces foot bath water into the foot bath chamber. The water in the tub is then connected to the water outlet 400 via the water flow channel. The water in the tub, as circulating water, flows through the water generator and the water outlet 400 into the water inlet 310 of the water outlet component 300. It is then evenly sprayed onto the user's feet through the water outlet holes 321 on the water outlet component 320 to clean the feet. When the user needs to change the water outlet component 300 to a different style, first turn off the power and water supply of the foot bath device to ensure safe operation. Then, open the cover 200, hold the water outlet component 320 part of the water outlet component 300, and pull the water outlet component 300 outwards along the sliding wall 231 until the water outlet component 300 is completely removed from the mounting cavity 210. During the removal of the water outlet component 300, care should be taken to avoid excessive force to prevent damage to the water outlet component 300 or the structure of the connecting structure 230. After removing the old water outlet component, prepare the new one. Align the inlet 310 of the new water outlet component 300 with the opening 211 of the mounting cavity 210, and slowly push it into the mounting cavity 210 along the direction of the sliding wall 231. During the pushing process, ensure that the water outlet component 300 fits tightly with the sliding wall 231 to avoid shaking or jamming. When the water outlet component 300 slides to contact the limiting part 232, it indicates that the water outlet component 300 is installed in place. After installing the new water outlet component 300, check whether the connection between the water outlet component 300 and the water outlet connector 400 is tight to ensure there is no leakage. Then, close the cover 200, connect the power and water supply to the foot bath, and you can use the new water outlet component 300 for different foot bath modes.

[0049] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
