Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the technical field of intelligent foot bath devices, specifically a water spray structure for a foot bath device. Background Technology

[0002] The intelligent foot bath is a new type of health appliance that integrates modern technology with the traditional foot bath health concept. Based on the traditional foot bath basin, it adds a variety of intelligent functions to provide users with a more convenient, comfortable and efficient foot bath experience. These functions mainly include intelligent temperature control, massage, surfing, ozone sterilization and medicinal bath functions.

[0003] Currently, most foot bath devices require a pump to deliver water to the spray head, similar to a shower head, to create a spray effect and improve the user's foot bath experience. There are two main solutions in the industry: one is to use an electric water pump to deliver circulating water. The advantages of an electric water pump are its independent structure, ease of assembly and maintenance, but the disadvantages are high cost of independently purchased components, low motor torque making it prone to stalling, and complex piping assembly requiring solutions to pipe sealing issues. The second solution is to use a massage motor to directly drive the pump structure, as illustrated in the technical document with application number 220396035U. The advantages of this method are high driving torque and less susceptibility to clogging, but the disadvantages are high motor shaft speed, complex connection between the motor shaft and the pump structure requiring consideration of high-speed rotation stability and fatigue resistance, and the need for water pipe connections outside the foot bath tub, necessitating consideration of sealing issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing solutions are too simplistic. Specifically, this utility model provides a water spray structure for a foot bath, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section, where the two methods of pumping water to the spray head in existing foot baths both have certain defects, and the location where the water pump impeller is installed is prone to fatigue, blockage, and other technical problems.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A water spray structure for a foot bath includes a tub body, which comprises a base, a tub body, a massage disc, a basin lid, and a cover plate. The massage disc and the base are detachably connected. The basin lid is located on the upper edge of the tub body, and the cover plate is installed at the opening of the basin lid. A boss is provided on the massage disc, and a spray mechanism is provided on the boss. The spray mechanism includes a massage motor, an impeller cover, and a spray head. The spray head is located at the interface position on the boss. The impeller cover is installed on the lower side of the boss by screws. A worm is provided at the output end of the massage motor, and the worm is meshed with a worm wheel. The worm wheel is connected to a drive gear through a rotating shaft. The inner edge teeth of the drive gear are meshed with a tower wheel, and the upper edge teeth of the tower wheel are meshed with a toothed impeller, which is located inside the impeller cover.

[0007] Furthermore, a water inlet hole is provided on one side of the upper surface of the boss.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the multiple circular holes on the massage disc is rotatably connected to a driven gear, with adjacent driven gears meshing with each other, and two of the driven gears also meshing with the drive gear.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the driven gears is equipped with a massage disc.

[0010] Furthermore, the massage disc is also equipped with arc-shaped acupressure massage bumps.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention utilizes a massage motor, worm gear, worm wheel, drive gear, tower wheel, impeller cover, toothed impeller, and spray head to convert high-speed, low-torque energy into low-speed, high-torque energy to drive the impeller and pump water into the spray head. The increased driving torque prevents impeller blockage, effectively mitigating the effects of impurities and residues from added herbal packets during foot baths. Furthermore, the water pumping structure is integrated inside the foot bath tub, eliminating the need for external water pipes and thus eliminating concerns about external sealing. This optimizes the overall layout, simplifies construction, facilitates injection molding, and allows for easy assembly and maintenance. The controlled cost and the coordinated action between the driven gear and massage disc provide simultaneous foot massage, demonstrating practical value and promising application prospects.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 1-5A water spray structure for a foot bath includes a tub body 1. The tub body 1 includes a base 11, a tub body 12, a massage disc 13, a basin lid 14, and a cover plate 15. The massage disc 13 and the base 11 are detachably connected. The basin lid 14 is located on the upper edge of the tub body 12, and the cover plate 15 is installed at the opening of the basin lid 14. The massage disc 13 is provided with a boss 131, and a spray mechanism 2 is provided on the boss 131. The spray mechanism 2 includes a massage motor 21, an impeller cover 26, and a spray head 2. 8. The spray head 28 is located at the interface position on the boss 131. The impeller cover 26 is installed on the lower side of the boss 131 by screws. The output end of the massage motor 21 is provided with a worm 22. The worm 22 is meshed with a worm wheel 23. The worm wheel 23 is connected to a drive gear 24 through a rotating shaft. The inner edge teeth of the drive gear 24 are meshed with a tower wheel 25. The upper teeth of the tower wheel 25 are meshed with a toothed impeller 27, and the toothed impeller 27 is located inside the impeller cover 26.

[0024] Through the above structure, the kinetic energy provided by the massage motor 21, combined with the large reduction ratio of the worm gear 22 and worm wheel 23 transmission, is used to convert high speed and low torque into low speed and high torque to drive the impeller to rotate, thereby pumping water into the spray head 28. The increased driving torque makes the impeller less prone to clogging, effectively dealing with the influence of uncontrollable factors such as impurities generated during foot baths and residues from added medicine packets. Moreover, the water pumping structure is implemented inside the foot bath tub, eliminating the need to consider external sealing issues, optimizing the overall layout of the equipment. The structure is simple and easy to implement, facilitating mold injection molding, easy assembly and maintenance, and controllable cost, thus possessing certain practical value.

[0025] The specific operation is as follows: First, turn on the massage motor 21, which drives the worm gear 22 and worm wheel 23 to rotate. Then, the worm wheel 23 drives the drive gear 24 to rotate through the shaft. Since the drive gear 24 and the driven gear 3 mesh, the massage block 31 on the driven gear 3 rotates to massage the user's feet. At the same time, the inner edge teeth of the drive gear 24 drive the tower wheel 25 to rotate. The tower wheel 25 drives the toothed impeller 27 in the impeller cover 26 to rotate. Then, the impeller cover 26 and the area below the boss 131 form a sealed space. The water in the barrel 1 enters the space formed by the impeller cover 26 and the area below the boss 131 through the water inlet hole 132. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the impeller creates a negative pressure, which drives the water to spray out from the spray head 28 to spray the user's feet.

[0026] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figure 2 and attached Figure 3Each of the multiple circular holes on the massage disc 13 is rotatably connected to a driven gear 3, with adjacent driven gears 3 meshing with each other. Two driven gears 3 also mesh with a drive gear 24. Each driven gear 3 is provided with a massage block 31. Through the cooperation between the drive gear 24 and the driven gear 3, the rotation of the massage block 31 is provided. The massage disc 13 is also provided with an arc-shaped acupressure massage protrusion 133. Through the acupressure massage protrusion 133, the acupressure massage protrusion 133 stimulates the acupoints on the user's feet, accelerates blood flow, and thus improves the blood circulation efficiency of the feet.

[0027] The present invention has been described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvement made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, shall be within the protection scope of the present invention.
