Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foot bath technology, and in particular to a foot bath with an easy-to-disassemble filter component. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of health and wellness concepts, foot baths, as home health care devices that provide foot soaking, massage, and cleaning, are widely used in daily life. One of their core functions is to circulate foot bath water through a water circulation system, enhancing the foot massage experience while maintaining water quality. To achieve water purification, foot baths are usually equipped with a filter to remove impurities, dead skin, dirt, and residues generated during the foot bath, preventing these contaminants from clogging the circulation pipes or affecting the normal operation of the water generator. The filtration effect of the filter mainly depends on the internal filter cartridge. However, after long-term use, the filter cartridge gradually loses its filtering capacity due to excessive impurities trapped, and may even become a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, replacing the internal filter cartridge periodically is necessary to ensure filtration effectiveness and maintain foot bath hygiene. For example, for frequently used foot baths, it is generally recommended to replace the filter cartridge every 1-2 months; even for less frequently used foot baths, replacement every 3-6 months is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of the filtration function.

[0003] Currently, most foot baths with built-in filters on the market are fixed designs with built-in filtration functions, or connected to the casing via bolts or clips. Because the filters are difficult to disassemble and assemble, daily cleaning cannot thoroughly remove impurities from their interior and surface. Over time, dirt and mold easily accumulate inside the filters, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. This not only affects the hygiene of the foot bath water but may also produce odors, posing a potential risk to foot health. Especially for users who value hygiene, the existing design cannot meet the need for regular thorough cleaning. When the filters lose their filtering capacity due to blockage or contamination, impurities directly enter the water generator and circulation pipes, leading to increased water flow resistance and pump load. This not only increases energy consumption and noise but may also cause pump impeller wear, pipe blockage, and other malfunctions, shortening the equipment's lifespan. 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 device with easy-to-disassemble and assemble filter components.

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

[0006] A foot bath device with an easily detachable filter component includes a housing and a cover disposed 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. Its features are:

[0007] The water circulation system includes a water outlet, a water generator, and a circulation pipe for connecting the water generator and the water outlet. The circulation pipe is disposed inside the housing, and the water generator is configured to return water in the foot bath cavity to the foot bath cavity through the circulation pipe and the water outlet.

[0008] The foot bath also includes a filter component, and the circulation pipeline has a joint. The filter component can be detachably and sealed to the joint for replacing the internal filter element.

[0009] Furthermore, the joint is provided with a sealing port, and the filter component is sealed and connected to the sealing port by a sealing element.

[0010] Furthermore, the filter component includes a water inlet section, the end of which has a water inlet port, the water inlet port being abutted against the sealing port by the sealing member.

[0011] Furthermore, the seal has two opposing sealing surfaces at its two ends in the horizontal direction. The inlet and the sealing outlet face each other and press against the sealing surfaces to compress and deform the seal, thereby achieving a seal.

[0012] Furthermore, the seal also includes two insertion channels adapted to insert into the joint and the water inlet, the insertion channels being adapted to have an interference fit with the joint and the water inlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the water circulation system also includes a water outlet component, which is detachably sleeved on the outside of the filter component, and the water outlet is disposed on the water outlet component.

[0014] Furthermore, the water outlet component is detachably connected to the cover so that the water outlet component and the filter component can be installed and removed simultaneously.

[0015] Furthermore, the water outlet component includes a base and a positioning portion for mounting the filter component, the base forming a placement groove for placing functional materials, and the placement groove being disposed at the bottom of the filter component.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the filter component is provided with a water outlet, a water passage is formed between the base and the joint, and a water filtration channel is formed between the water outlet, the water passage and the water outlet.

[0017] Furthermore, the circulation pipeline includes a soft water pipe and a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe has an inlet end connected to the soft water pipe and an outlet end perpendicular to the prime inlet end. The connecting part is disposed at the outlet end.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. This utility model, by providing a connecting part with a connecting feature on the housing, allows the filter component to be easily installed or removed from the connecting part for internal filter replacement. Compared to traditional fixed or complex-to-disassemble filter components, this greatly simplifies the user's operation process, saving time and effort. Positioning the filter component further downstream of the water flow generator effectively filters impurities in the water after it has passed through the water flow generator. This ensures the cleanliness of the water entering the foot bath chamber and prevents impurities from accumulating inside the water flow generator, thus extending the service life of the water flow generator.

[0020] 2. This utility model includes a sealing element between the sealing port and the water inlet. The water inlet is connected to the sealing port by the sealing element to achieve a sealed connection. Furthermore, the sealing element has sealing surfaces at both ends in the horizontal direction. The water inlet and the sealing port press against these sealing surfaces, causing the sealing element to deform and achieve a seal. This sealing structure effectively prevents water leakage, ensures the normal operation of the water circulation system, and avoids safety hazards and equipment damage caused by water leakage.

[0035] 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.

[0036] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model discloses a foot bath device with an easily detachable filter component, including a housing 100 and a cover 200 covering the housing 100. A foot bath cavity 110 for accommodating the user's feet is formed within the housing 100. The foot bath device also includes a water circulation system 300. The water circulation system 300 includes a water outlet 320, a water flow generator 330, and a circulation pipe 310 connecting the water flow generator 330 and the water outlet 320. The circulation pipe 310 is disposed within the housing 100. The water flow generator 330 is configured to return water from the foot bath cavity 110 to the foot bath cavity 110 via the circulation pipe 310 and the water outlet 320. In this embodiment, the water flow generator 330 is a water pump, the power of which can be selected according to actual needs to meet the water circulation requirements during foot bathing. When the water flow generator 330 is working, it will generate a certain suction force to draw the water in the foot bath cavity 110 into the circulation pipe 310, and then send it back to the foot bath cavity 110 through the water outlet 320 to form a complete water flow circulation. This allows the water in the foot bath cavity 110 to keep flowing, improves the effect of the foot bath, and also allows the medicinal ingredients or other beneficial ingredients in the water to be distributed more evenly.

[0037] The foot bath device of this application also includes a filter component 332. The circulation pipe 310 has a connecting part 312, and the filter component 332 can be detachably and sealed to the connecting part 312 for replacement of the internal filter element. This detachable connection method allows users to regularly replace the filter element inside the filter component 332, ensuring filtration efficiency. The filter element inside the filter component 332 can be selected according to different needs, such as activated carbon filter element, ultrafiltration filter element, etc. Activated carbon filter element has good adsorption performance and can adsorb odors, pigments, and some organic matter in water; ultrafiltration filter element can filter out bacteria, rust, colloids, and other impurities in water. Users can choose a suitable filter element according to their own needs and usage environment. The connecting part 312 is equipped with a sealing port 3411, and the filter component 332 is sealed and connected to the sealing port 3411 through a sealing element 600. The shape of the sealing port 3411 can be circular, square, etc. In this embodiment, the sealing port 3411 adopts a circular design, which makes it easier to connect and seal with the filter component 332. The sealing element 600 is made of food-grade silicone, possessing excellent elasticity and sealing properties, and is resistant to high and low temperatures and aging, maintaining good sealing performance over a long period in the operating environment of the foot bath. The filter component 332 includes a water inlet 3323, with an inlet 3321 at its end. The inlet 3321 is connected to the sealing opening 3411 via the sealing element 600. The water inlet 3323 and the main body of the filter component 332 can be manufactured as a single piece, ensuring a strong and airtight connection and reducing the risk of leakage. The dimensions of the inlet 3321 and the sealing opening 3411 match to ensure a tight connection via the sealing element 600. The sealing element 600 has two opposing sealing surfaces 610 at its horizontal ends. The inlet 3321 and the sealing opening 3411 press against the sealing surfaces 610, causing the sealing element 600 to deform and achieve a seal. When the filter element 332 is installed onto the joint 312, the inlet 3321 and the sealing port 3411 apply pressure to the sealing surface 610 of the seal 600 from both sides, causing the seal 600 to deform under pressure, thereby filling the gap between the inlet 3321 and the sealing port 3411 and achieving a sealing effect. The flatness of the two sealing surfaces 610 is required to ensure the reliability of the seal. The seal 600 also includes two insertion channels 620 suitable for inserting into the joint 312 and the inlet 3323. The insertion channels 620 are adapted to have an interference fit with the joint 312 and the inlet 3323. The inner diameter of the insertion channel 620 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the joint 312 and the water inlet 3323. When the joint 312 and the water inlet 3323 are inserted into the insertion channel 620, they will form an interference fit with the seal 600, which will further enhance the sealing effect. At the same time, it can also play a certain role in fixing the filter component 332 and prevent the filter component 332 from loosening during water circulation.The length of the insertion channel 620 can be designed according to the insertion depth of the joint 312 and the water inlet 3323. Generally, it is advisable to ensure sufficient interference and sealing area after insertion.

[0038] The water circulation system 300 also includes a water outlet component 400, which is detachably fitted onto the outside of the filter component 332. A water outlet 320 is disposed on the water outlet component 400. Multiple water outlets 320 can be evenly distributed on the water outlet component 400, allowing for more uniform water flow back into the foot bath chamber 110. The multiple water outlets 320 can be of the same or different sizes to meet different water flow intensity requirements. The water outlet component 400 is detachably connected to the cover 200 for simultaneous installation and removal of the water outlet component 400 and the filter component 332. The water outlet component 400 and the cover 200 can be slidably connected. During installation, simply push the water outlet component into the sliding groove on the cover to a specific position to complete the connection; during removal, simply slide the water outlet component out, making operation very convenient. This simultaneous installation and removal design reduces user steps and improves ease of use. The water outlet component 400 includes a base 440 and a positioning part 430 for mounting the filter component 332. The base 440 forms a placement groove 420 for placing functional materials, and the placement groove 420 is disposed at the bottom of the filter component 332. The positioning part 430 can be a protrusion or groove provided inside the water outlet component 400, which cooperates with the corresponding structure on the outside of the filter component 332 to achieve positioning and fixation of the filter component 332 and prevent the filter component 332 from shaking inside the water outlet component 400. Functional materials such as mugwort, ginger, and traditional Chinese medicine packs can be placed in the placement groove 420. When water flows through the filter component 332 and then through the placement groove 420, it will carry the effective ingredients of the functional materials into the foot bath cavity 110, enhancing the health benefits of the foot bath. The filter element 332 has a water outlet 3322 at its bottom, and a water passage 410 is formed between the base 440 and the connecting part 312. A water filtration channel 500 is formed between the water outlet 3322, the water passage 410, and the water outlet 320. Water enters the filter element 332 through the inlet 3321, is filtered by the filter element, flows out through the water outlet 3322 at the bottom of the filter element 332, then enters the water outlet element 400 through the water passage 410 between the base 440 and the connecting part 312, and finally flows out through the water outlet 320, completing the entire water filtration process.

[0039] The circulation pipe 310 includes a flexible water pipe 311 and an adapter pipe 340. The adapter pipe 340 has an inlet end 342 connected to the flexible water pipe 311 and an outlet end 341 perpendicular to the inlet end 342. A connecting part 312 is disposed on the outlet end 341. The inlet end 342 and the flexible water pipe 311 can be connected by adhesive or clamps to ensure a firm and leak-proof connection. The adapter pipe 340 is mounted on the cover 200. The adapter pipe 340 can be installed on the cover 200 by screw fixing, snap-fit ​​connection, or other methods.

[0040] The working process of this utility model is as follows: When the user uses the foot bath, first add an appropriate amount of water to the foot bath cavity 110, and then start the water flow generator 330. The water flow generator 330 works, drawing the water in the foot bath cavity 110 into the soft water pipe 311 in the circulation pipe 310. The water flows through the soft water pipe 311 into the inlet end 342 of the transfer pipe 340, and then flows out from the outlet end 341 of the transfer pipe 340, passing through the sealing port 3411 of the joint 312 and the sealing element 600 into the inlet 3321 of the filter component 332. After being filtered by the filter element in the filter component 332, the water flows out from the water outlet 3322 at the bottom of the filter component 332 and enters the water inlet 410 between the base 440 and the joint 312 of the water outlet component 400. Then the water flows through the placement tank 420, carrying the effective components of the functional materials in the placement tank 420, and finally flows back to the foot bath cavity 110 through the water outlet 320, completing one water circulation.

[0041] When it is necessary to replace the filter element inside the filter element 332, the user only needs to remove the water outlet component 400 from the cover 200. Since the water outlet component 400 is detachably fitted onto the outside of the filter element 332, the filter element 332 will be removed along with the water outlet component 400. Then, remove the filter element 332 from the positioning part 430 of the water outlet component 400. At this time, the filter element 332 separates from the connecting part 312, and the seal 600 is no longer compressed. The user can open the filter element 332, replace the internal filter element, and after replacement, reverse the steps to install the filter element 332 back into the connecting part 312 and install the water outlet component 400 back onto the cover 200.

[0042] When installing the filter component 332, it is necessary to ensure that the inlet 3321 is tightly connected to the sealing port 3411 of the joint 312 through the seal 600. The inlet 3321 and the sealing port 3411 are directly facing the sealing surface 610 of the seal 600, causing the seal 600 to be squeezed and deformed. At the same time, the joint 312 and the inlet 3323 are inserted into the insertion channel 620 of the seal 600 to form an interference fit, so as to ensure a good sealing effect and prevent water leakage.

[0043] The above are merely specific embodiments 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.
