Detailed Implementation

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0037] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, height, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly.

[0038] With the improvement of living standards, more and more people are paying attention to investing in their health, making foot baths, which can relieve fatigue and relax the mind and body, increasingly popular among consumers. Understandably, foot baths typically have heating and foot massage functions to relieve plantar fascia tension, promote blood circulation, and allow users to relax and achieve health and wellness goals.

[0039] In some related technologies, foot baths also have a spray function, that is, the foot bath has a built-in water pump that can drive the liquid in the foot bath chamber to flow, so that the liquid is ejected through the water spray holes in the foot bath chamber to spray the user's feet or legs, thereby stimulating the user's acupoints on the feet or legs through dynamic water flow, so as to enrich the user's foot bath experience.

[0040] However, foot bath devices in this technology often only offer a single spray mode. That is, foot bath devices in this technology only offer one spray mode for users to choose from; users can only choose to turn this spray mode on or off, and cannot personalize the spray mode. This results in a monotonous and uninteresting spray pattern, leading to a poor foot bath experience for the user.

[0041] Based on this, this application provides a foot bath device with multiple spray modes, enabling users to select the corresponding spray mode according to their own usage needs, thereby enriching the user's foot bath experience.

[0042] The following will combine Figures 1 to 10 This application provides a description of the foot bath device provided.

[0043] This application provides a foot bath device 1, including a housing assembly 10, a water collection assembly 20, a connecting assembly 30, a switching assembly 40, and a spraying assembly 50. The housing assembly 10 has a foot bath cavity 13. The water collection assembly 20 is connected to the housing assembly 10 and has a water collection chamber 23 communicating with the foot bath cavity 13. The connecting assembly 30 has at least three outflow channels communicating with the water collection chamber 23. The switching assembly 40 is movably disposed within the water collection chamber 23, allowing at least one of the at least three outflow channels to communicate with the water collection chamber 23. The spraying assembly 50 includes at least three nozzles located outside the water collection chamber 23, with each of the at least three nozzles corresponding to and communicating with one of the at least three outflow channels. Along the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13, one of the at least three nozzles is positioned lower than the remaining nozzles, and at least two of the remaining nozzles have different sizes and / or shapes.

[0044] It should be noted that, as Figure 2 As shown, the foot bath cavity 13 of the housing assembly 10 can be used to hold liquid for foot baths. The depth of the foot bath cavity 13 can be set along the vertical direction shown in the figure. The housing assembly 10 can be made by splicing, injection molding, or 3D printing, etc., and this application does not impose any limitations.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the water collection assembly 20 allows liquid in the foot bath cavity 13 to flow into the water collection cavity 23, so as to provide the necessary liquid for spraying by the spraying assembly 50. The water collection assembly 20 can utilize external forces such as negative pressure suction, rotational force, or gravity to allow liquid in the foot bath cavity 13 to flow into the water collection cavity 23. For example, the water collection assembly 20 may include a water pump or a drive component such as blades that can rotate to agitate the water flow into the water collection cavity 23; this application does not impose any limitations.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the connecting assembly 30 connects the water collecting chamber 23 to the spraying assembly 50, allowing the liquid in the water collecting chamber 23 to flow to the spraying assembly 50 and then be ejected from the nozzle. To enable the foot bath 1 to provide multiple spray modes, the connecting assembly 30 has at least three outflow channels, each corresponding to a nozzle, allowing the liquid in the water collecting chamber 23 to flow along the corresponding outflow channel to the corresponding nozzle, thus providing the corresponding spray mode by activating different nozzles. The connecting assembly 30 may include a water pipe, pipe fitting, connecting hole, or other connection structure capable of conveying liquid; this application does not impose any limitations on these components.

[0047] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the switching component 40 is movably disposed within the water collection chamber 23, enabling it to control the opening or closing of each outflow channel. Understandably, the various spray modes of the foot bath 1 can correspond one-to-one with each outflow channel. For example, when a user selects a particular spray mode, the switching component 40 can open one corresponding outflow channel and close the others, allowing the liquid in the water collection chamber 23 to flow through the opened outflow channel to the corresponding nozzle, thus providing the corresponding spray mode. Understandably, the switching component 40 can rotate or slide within the water collection chamber 23 to control the opening or closing of each outflow channel; this application does not impose any limitations. As an example, the switching component 40 may include components such as a reversing valve, a knob, or a slide rod that can move within the water collection chamber 23. Furthermore, the switching component 40 can open one, two, three, or more outflow channels from at least three; this application does not impose any limitations. For example, the switching component 40 can also connect any two outflow channels in combination, causing the corresponding two nozzles to spray liquid in combination, thereby increasing the spray range and / or spray force.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the spray assembly 50 is used to spray liquid onto the user's instep, legs, or other desired areas to enrich the user's foot bath experience through flowing water. The spray assembly 50 has nozzles corresponding to each outflow channel, and each nozzle can operate in different spray modes. Understandably, the foot bath 1 provided in this application has at least three outflow channels and at least three corresponding nozzles, enabling the foot bath 1 to have at least three spray modes. Based on the placement, shape, and / or size of the at least three nozzles in this application, the foot bath 1 provided in this application has at least three spray modes, including a fountain mode, a water jet mode, and a water curtain mode, and combinations thereof.

[0049] Specifically, in this application, along the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13, at least one of the three nozzles is positioned lower than the remaining nozzles, allowing for a height difference between at least two nozzles. This configuration ensures that when liquid is injected into the foot bath cavity 13, the nozzle at the lower position can be below the liquid surface of the foot bath cavity 13, while the nozzle at the higher position can be above the liquid surface of the foot bath cavity 13.

[0050] When the nozzle is positioned low, it sprays liquid, which forms a surge from below the surface to slap the user's feet and / or legs, creating a fountain pattern.

[0051] When liquid is sprayed from the high-positioned nozzles, the liquid falls from above the liquid surface, impacting the user's feet and / or legs under gravity, forming a water jet pattern and / or a water curtain pattern. The high-positioned nozzles include at least two, and these nozzles can have different shapes and / or sizes, allowing each nozzle to spray liquid with different shapes and / or flow rates to correspond to the water jet and / or water curtain patterns. For example, each high-positioned nozzle includes a circular orifice and a strip-shaped orifice; the circular orifice can spray a linear water jet for the water jet pattern, and the strip-shaped orifice can spray a sheet-like water curtain for the water curtain pattern. Understandably, the foot bath 1 provided in this application sprays a linear columnar liquid in water jet mode, which can precisely stimulate acupoints on the user's feet and / or legs. The foot bath 1 provided in this application sprays a planar liquid in water curtain mode, which can cover a large area of ​​the user's feet and / or legs, thereby increasing the spray range. Of course, the nozzles at higher positions may also include large and small orifices to adjust the injection volume, and this application does not limit this. Understandably, the shape of each nozzle may include rectangular, circular, triangular, or irregular shapes, and this application does not limit this.

[0052] Thus, during use, the user can inject liquid for foot bathing into the foot bath cavity 13. When the user uses the spray mode, the liquid in the foot bath cavity 13 can enter the water collection cavity 23 and flow through at least three outflow channels connected to the water collection cavity 23 to at least three nozzles corresponding to each of the at least three outflow channels. The at least three nozzles can spray liquid onto the user's feet and / or legs, providing a foot bath spray experience. The switching component 40 in the foot bath 1 is movable within the water collection cavity 23, allowing at least one outflow channel to communicate with the water collection cavity 23, so that at least one corresponding nozzle can spray liquid. Depending on the different positions, shapes, and / or sizes of the at least three nozzles in this application, different nozzles can correspond to different spray modes. That is, the foot bath 1 provided by this application can have at least three spray modes for the user to choose from, satisfying the user's personalized adjustment needs for the spray mode and enriching the user's foot bath experience.

[0053] In some embodiments, to facilitate the placement of at least three nozzles at different heights along the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13, at least one liquid level line (not shown in the figure) may be provided on the inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13. Wherein, at least one liquid level line includes a minimum liquid level line, meaning that the liquid volume in the foot bath cavity 13 cannot fall below the minimum liquid level line during use. In this case, the foot bath device 1 provided by this application can place the nozzles at a lower position between the bottom wall of the foot bath cavity 13 and the minimum liquid level line, so that the foot bath device 1 of this application can provide users with a fountain-like spray experience.

[0054] Of course, at least one liquid level line may also include a maximum liquid level line, in which case the liquid volume in the foot bath chamber 13 cannot exceed the maximum liquid level line during use. In this case, the foot bath device 1 provided by this application can set the nozzle, which is in a high position, at a position higher than the maximum liquid level line, so that the foot bath device 1 of this application can provide users with a spraying experience such as water jet mode and / or water curtain mode.

[0055] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the housing assembly 10 includes a tub body 11 with a foot bath cavity 13 and a cover 12 connected to the tub body 11. The cover 12 is movably connected relative to the tub body 11 to open or close the foot bath cavity 13. The nozzles at higher positions are positioned close to the cover 12, while the nozzles at lower positions are positioned close to the bottom of the tub body 11. Furthermore, the housing assembly 10 may also include a massage structure 15 disposed within the foot bath cavity 13. The massage structure 15 has several protrusions (not shown in the figures) to massage the user's feet, thereby relieving foot fascia tension. Further details are omitted here.

[0056] like Figures 2 to 6As shown, in some embodiments, the water collection assembly 20 further includes a water collection cover, which can be connected to the inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13 to form a water collection cavity 23 communicating with the foot bath cavity 13. The inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13 may be provided with a water collection connector 16, and the water collection cover can be connected and fixed to the water collection connector 16 by means of insertion, snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, etc., which is not limited in this application.

[0057] Understandably, in order to facilitate the entry of liquid from the foot bath cavity 13 into the water collection cavity 23, the water collection cover can be connected to the bottom wall of the foot bath cavity 13, so that the water collection cavity 23 is located at the bottom of the foot bath cavity 13.

[0058] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the water collection assembly 20 further includes a filter cover 22, which can form a filter chamber 24 between the foot bath chamber 13 and the water collection chamber 23. The inner wall of the foot bath chamber 13 may also be provided with a filter connector 17, and the filter cover 22 can be connected and fixed to the filter connector 17 by means of insertion, snap-fit, or threaded connection, etc., which is not limited in this application. Furthermore, the filter cover 22 can be integrated with the water collection cover, or it can be configured as two independent components. When the filter cover 22 and the water collection cover are two independent components, the filter cover 22 and the water collection cover can be connected and fixed by means of insertion, snap-fit, or threaded connection, which is not limited in this application.

[0059] Understandably, users can add herbal packs and / or bath salts to the foot bath chamber 13 during the foot bath process to enhance the experience. The filter chamber 24 prevents liquid impurities in the foot bath chamber 13 from clogging the water collection chamber 23, the various outflow channels, and the nozzles. In addition, the spray function of the foot bath 1 can also use the impact force of the water flow to promote the faster dissolution of the herbal packs and / or bath salts, helping users absorb the effective ingredients of the herbal packs and / or bath salts.

[0060] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, to facilitate the allocation of the nozzle locations, the spray assembly 50 further includes at least two supports, which are connected to the housing assembly 10 and / or the water collection assembly 20. The at least two supports include a first support 51 and a second support 52, with the first support 51 positioned below the second support 52 along the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13. At least three nozzles include a first nozzle 53, a second nozzle 54, and a third nozzle 55. The first nozzle 53 is located on the first support 51, while the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 are located on the second support 52. The second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 have different sizes and / or shapes.

[0061] It should be noted that the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 have a height difference along the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13, which allows the first nozzle 53 to be positioned lower than the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55. Specifically, the first bracket 51 is positioned close to the bottom wall of the foot bath cavity 13, so that the first nozzle 53 is below the liquid surface, thus providing a fountain mode. The second bracket 52 is positioned close to the cover 12, so that the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 are above the liquid surface, thus providing a water column mode and / or a water curtain mode. The first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 can be connected to each other to form a bracket assembly, which is then connected to the housing assembly 10 and / or the water collection assembly 20. Of course, the first bracket 51 and the second bracket 52 can also be set independently, i.e., the first bracket 51 is connected to the water collection assembly 20, and the second bracket 52 is connected to the housing assembly 10; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0062] Understandably, integrating the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 into the second bracket 52 can save space in the foot bath cavity 13.

[0063] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, to spray different locations on the user's feet and / or legs, the first bracket 51 and the second bracket can be spaced apart along the front-to-back direction in the figure. When the user's feet are placed in the foot bath cavity 13, the soles of the feet can face forward, and the heels can face backward. Thus, the first bracket 51, in conjunction with the first nozzle 53, can provide a "Yongquan" (a type of acupoint) pattern near the user's heel to stimulate acupoints on the back of the foot. The second bracket 52, in conjunction with the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55, can provide a spray pattern near the user's soles, allowing liquid to be sprayed onto the user's instep and legs to stimulate acupoints on the front of the foot and legs.

[0064] See Figure 7 To facilitate fixing the second bracket 52, the housing assembly 10 is also provided with a mounting structure 14 located on the inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13, and the second bracket 52 is connected to the mounting structure 14. Understandably, the second bracket 52 can be fixed to the mounting structure 14 by means of plugging, snapping, or threading, etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0065] See Figure 7 In some embodiments, the inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13 includes a front inner wall and a rear inner wall arranged in the front-back direction as shown in the figure, and the inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13 also includes a left inner wall and a right inner wall arranged in the left-right direction as shown in the figure. At least one of the front inner wall, rear inner wall, left inner wall and right inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13 may be provided with a mounting structure 14. This application does not limit the number of mounting structures, and each mounting structure 14 may be connected to a corresponding second bracket 52.

[0066] Understandably, when the mounting structure 14 is disposed on the front inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13, the second bracket 52 can spray liquid from front to back corresponding to the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55, and the sprayed liquid can cover at least one of the user's legs. When the mounting structure 14 is disposed on the rear inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13, the second bracket 52 can spray liquid from back to front corresponding to the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55. When the mounting structure 14 is disposed on the left inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13, the second bracket 52 can spray liquid from left to right corresponding to the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55. When the mounting structure 14 is disposed on the right inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13, the second bracket 52 can spray liquid from right to left corresponding to the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55.

[0067] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 To facilitate the flow of liquid in the water collection chamber 23 to the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 on the second support 52, the connecting assembly 30 includes a first conduit 36 ​​and a second conduit 37. The first conduit 36 ​​is connected between the second outflow channel 32 and the second nozzle 54, and the second conduit 37 is connected between the third outflow channel 33 and the third nozzle 55.

[0068] It should be noted that the water collecting chamber 23 is often located near the bottom of the foot bath chamber 13, so that the water collecting chamber 23 is below the liquid surface of the foot bath chamber 13, which facilitates the entry of liquid from the foot bath chamber 13 into the water collecting chamber 23. To meet the spraying requirements, the second support 52 is often positioned higher than the liquid surface in the foot bath chamber 13. Thus, the first conduit 36 ​​compensates for the distance between the water collecting chamber 23 and the second nozzle 54, and the second conduit 37 compensates for the distance between the water collecting chamber 23 and the third nozzle 55, allowing the liquid in the water collecting chamber 23 to be pumped to the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 along the first conduit 36 ​​and the second conduit 37.

[0069] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 In one embodiment, to prevent water accumulation in the first conduit 36 ​​and the second conduit 37, the connecting assembly 30 further includes a connecting frame 38. The connecting frame 38 has a first connecting channel 381 and a second connecting channel 382. The first connecting channel 381 connects the first conduit 36 ​​and the second outflow channel 32, and the second connecting channel 382 connects the second conduit 37 and the third outflow channel 33. The connecting frame 38 also has a first drainage channel 383 and a second drainage channel 384 arranged along the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13. The first drainage channel 383 connects to the first connecting channel 381, and the second drainage channel 384 connects to the second connecting channel 382.

[0070] Understandably, when each conduit is directly connected to each outlet channel, the part where each conduit connects to each outlet channel forms a bend. When the foot bath 1 is not in use, water can easily accumulate at the bend, causing the pipes to smell bad and affecting the hygiene and lifespan of the foot bath 1.

[0071] This application installs a detachable connecting bracket 38 between each outflow channel and each conduit. When the foot bath 1 is in use, the first connecting channel 381 of the connecting bracket 38 connects the first conduit 36 ​​to the second outflow channel 32, and the second connecting channel 382 connects the second conduit 37 to the third outflow channel 33, allowing the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 to operate in their respective spray modes. When the foot bath 1 is not in use, because the connecting bracket 38 has a first drainage channel 383 and a second drainage channel 384 arranged along the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13, water accumulated between the first conduit 36 ​​and the second outflow channel 32 can flow out from the first drainage channel 383 by gravity, and water accumulated between the second conduit 37 and the third outflow channel 33 can flow out from the second drainage channel 384 by gravity, thereby improving the problem of water accumulation at bends.

[0072] In addition, the connecting bracket 38 can be installed on the outer wall of the tub 11 facing away from the foot bath cavity 13, so that the first conduit 36 ​​and the second conduit 37 are simultaneously arranged on the outside of the foot bath cavity 13, so as to avoid occupying the inner bottom wall space of the foot bath cavity 13.

[0073] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the second nozzle 54 may include a circular hole, and the third nozzle 55 may include a strip-shaped hole, wherein the length of the strip-shaped hole is greater than the length of the circular hole in a direction perpendicular to the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13.

[0074] Understandably, the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13 can be set along the vertical direction in the figure, and the direction perpendicular to the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13 can be set along the horizontal direction in the figure.

[0075] With this configuration, the length of the third nozzle 55 in the left-right direction of the figure can be greater than the length of the second nozzle 54, enabling the second nozzle 54 to form a water jet spray and the third nozzle 55 to form a water curtain spray. The number of the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 can be set according to requirements, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0076] See Figure 7 and Figure 8In some embodiments, to enable the second support 52 to meet the spraying requirements of the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55, the second support 52 includes a connecting portion 521 connected to the mounting structure 14 and a spraying portion 522 connected to the connecting portion 521. The connecting portion 521 has a first guide cavity 523 and a second guide cavity 524 that are separated from each other. The first guide cavity 523 communicates with the first conduit 36, and the second guide cavity 524 communicates with the second conduit 37. The second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 are located in the spraying portion 522, and the second nozzle 54 communicates with the first guide cavity 523, and the third nozzle 55 communicates with the second guide cavity 524.

[0077] It should be noted that the first guide cavity 523 and the second guide cavity 524 can be separated along the vertical direction shown in the figure, or they can be separated along the horizontal direction shown in the figure. This application does not impose any restrictions.

[0078] For example, when the mounting structure 14 is located on the front inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13, the first guide cavity 523 and the second guide cavity 524 can be separated along the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13, and the first guide cavity 523 and the second guide cavity 524 extend in a direction perpendicular to the depth direction of the foot bath cavity. It can be understood that the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13 can be arranged in the vertical direction as shown in the figure, and the direction perpendicular to the depth direction of the foot bath cavity 13 can be arranged in the horizontal direction as shown in the figure. In this case, the first guide cavity 523 and the second guide cavity 524 can be separated in the vertical direction and extend in a strip shape in the horizontal direction.

[0079] With this configuration, the second nozzle 54 and the third nozzle 55 located on the spray section 522 can also be arranged separately in the vertical direction. For example, when the spray section 522 is provided with multiple second nozzles 54 and multiple third nozzles 55, when the second guide cavity 524 is located above the first guide cavity 523, the multiple third nozzles 55 can be distributed in the upper part of the spray section 522 in the left-right direction, and the multiple second nozzles 54 can be distributed in the lower part of the spray section 522 in the left-right direction, so that the second nozzles 54 and the third nozzles 55 can have the same spray range in the left-right direction.

[0080] Thus, multiple third nozzles 55 can spray water in a curtain-like pattern onto the user's legs and / or feet from front to back, and multiple second nozzles 54 can also spray water in a jet-like pattern onto the user's legs and / or feet from front to back.

[0081] Of course, in other embodiments, when the installation structure 14 is located on the left inner wall and / or right inner wall of the foot bath cavity 13, the first guide cavity 523 and the second guide cavity 524 can also be separated in the vertical direction, and the first guide cavity 523 and the second guide cavity 524 can be extended in the front-back direction. This application will not elaborate on this.

[0082] In some embodiments, the spraying part 522 and the connecting part 521 can be connected and fixed by means of plugging or snapping, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0083] In addition, a seal 56 can be installed between the second bracket 52 and the mounting structure 14 to prevent liquid from flowing out at the connection between the second bracket 52 and the mounting structure 14, which would affect the water pressure at each nozzle.

[0084] See you later Figures 3 to 6 In some embodiments, to facilitate the foot bath 1 to connect different outflow channels to correspond to different spray modes, the connecting component 30 of this application includes a flow guide 34. The flow guide 34 is connected to the housing component 10 and / or the water collection component 20. The flow guide 34 is provided with at least three outflow channels, including a first outflow channel 31 corresponding to the first nozzle 53, a second outflow channel 32 corresponding to the second nozzle 54, and a third outflow channel 33 corresponding to the third nozzle 55. The switching component 40 includes a turntable 41 located in the water collection cavity 23. The turntable 41 is provided with a flow guide hole 411. The turntable 41 can rotate relative to the flow guide 34, so that the flow guide hole 411 can communicate with at least one of the first outflow channel 31, the second outflow channel 32, and the third outflow channel 33.

[0085] It should be noted that the turntable 41 can rotate relative to the guide member 34 to correspond to different spray modes. For example, when the user selects the fountain mode, the position of the turntable 41 relative to the guide member 34 allows the guide hole 411 to connect with the first outflow channel 31. At this time, the liquid in the water collection chamber 23 can sequentially enter the first nozzle 53 through the guide hole 411 and the first outflow channel 31. When the user selects the water jet mode, the position of the turntable 41 relative to the guide member 34 allows the guide hole 411 to connect with the second outflow channel 32. At this time, the liquid in the water collection chamber 23 can sequentially enter the second nozzle 54 through the guide hole 411 and the second outflow channel 32. When the user selects the water curtain mode, the position of the turntable 41 relative to the guide member 34 allows the guide hole 411 to connect with the third outflow channel 33. At this time, the liquid in the water collection chamber 23 can sequentially enter the third nozzle 55 through the guide hole 411 and the third outflow channel 33.

[0086] Understandably, one guide hole 411 can be provided on the turntable 41 to connect one outflow channel. Two guide holes 411 can also be provided on the turntable 41 to connect two outflow channels. This application does not limit the number of guide holes 411 on the turntable 41. Of course, the size of the guide holes 411 can also be increased so that one guide hole 411 can cover two outflow channels, and this application does not limit this.

[0087] Understandably, the flow guide 34 can be integrated with the tub body 11 to reduce the assembly steps of the foot bath 1. Of course, an installation position can also be reserved on the tub body 11 for the flow guide 34, so that the flow guide 34 can be connected to the water collection cover before being assembled to the tub body 11. This application does not limit this.

[0088] See Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, to facilitate the rotation of the turntable 41, the first support 51 includes a rotating part 511 and a plug-in part 512 connected to the rotating part 511. The first nozzle 53 is disposed on the rotating part 511, and the plug-in part 512 is provided with a plug hole 513 communicating with the rotating part 511. The flow guide 34 is also provided with a plug-in mating part 341 communicating with the first outflow channel 31. The water collecting cavity 23 is provided with a mounting hole 25, and at least a portion of the plug-in part 512 passes through the mounting hole 25 and connects with the plug-in mating part 341, so that the first outflow channel 31 communicates with the first nozzle 53. The plug-in part 512 and the plug-in mating part 341 are rotatably connected, and the turntable 41 is sleeved on the plug-in part 512, so that the rotating part 511 can drive the turntable 41 to rotate relative to the flow guide 34.

[0089] With this configuration, since the rotating part 511 of the first bracket 51 is located outside the water collection cavity 23, the user can rotate the rotating part 511 to drive the plug part 512 to rotate, and then drive the turntable 41 to rotate relative to the guide member 34 through the plug part 512, so as to adjust the outflow channel corresponding to the guide hole 411 on the turntable 41, and thus select different spray modes.

[0090] In addition, with this configuration, the first bracket 51 can not only support the first nozzle 53 to provide users with a fountain mode, but also adjust various spray modes to save installation space in the foot bath cavity 13.

[0091] In some embodiments, to facilitate precise adjustment of each spray mode by the user, one of the flow guide 34 and the turntable 41 is further provided with a protrusion 42, and the other of the flow guide 34 and the turntable 41 is further provided with at least three recesses 60, each of which corresponds to at least three outflow channels. When the turntable 41 rotates relative to the flow guide 34, the protrusion 42 can be sequentially positioned within the at least three recesses 60, allowing one of the at least three outflow channels to communicate with the flow guide hole 411.

[0092] This configuration allows the user to manually rotate the rotating part 511 along the path of the rotating part 511. Figure 6Taking the clockwise rotation of the rotating part 511 as an example, when the protrusion 42 engages with the first recess 60, the guide hole 411 on the turntable 41 aligns and connects with the second guide channel, allowing the second nozzle 54 to spray liquid, thus providing a water jet mode. When the protrusion 42 engages with the second recess 60, the guide hole 411 on the turntable 41 aligns and connects with the first guide channel, allowing the first nozzle 53 to spray liquid, thus providing a fountain mode. When the protrusion 42 engages with the third recess 60, the guide hole 411 on the turntable 41 aligns and connects with the third guide channel, allowing the third nozzle 55 to spray liquid, thus providing a water curtain mode.

[0093] When the protrusion 42 engages with the second recess 60, the guide hole 411 becomes connected to the first guide channel. At this time, as... Figure 5 As shown, because the insertion and mating part 341 on the flow guide 34 can communicate with the first flow guide channel, the liquid flowing out of the first flow guide channel can flow through the cavity in the insertion and mating part 341 to the insertion hole 513 of the first bracket 51, and then flow from the insertion hole 513 to the first nozzle 53. Figure 5 The arrows shown by the dashed lines indicate the flow path of the liquid as it passes through the filter chamber 24, the water collection chamber 23, the guide hole 411, the first outflow channel 31, the insertion and mating part 341, the insertion hole 513, and the first nozzle 53 in sequence.

[0094] See Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, to facilitate the switching movement of the protrusion 42 between at least three recesses 60, the connecting assembly 30 further includes a spring 35, which is sleeved on the insertion part 512 and located between the turntable 41 and the inner wall of the water collection cavity 23. The turntable 41 can adjust the distance between itself and the guide member 34 by the deformation of the spring 35, so that the protrusion 42 can be moved out of at least three recesses 60.

[0095] As an example, the protrusion 42 can be provided on the side of the turntable 41 facing the guide member 34, and the recess 60 can be provided on the side of the guide member 34 facing the turntable 41. When the protrusion 42 moves out of the recess 60, the protrusion 42 can push upwards towards the turntable 41, at which time the spring 35 can be in a compressed state, allowing the protrusion 42 to continue rotating. When the protrusion 42 enters one of the recesses 60, the spring 35 can restore its deformation, pressing the turntable 41 against the guide member 34 to prevent the protrusion 42 from accidentally sliding out of the recess 60 and interrupting the spraying mode.

[0096] Furthermore, through the engaging engagement of the protrusion 42 and the recess 60, the user can feel the resistance of the protrusion 42 and the recess 60 when rotating the rotating part 511, thus indicating to the user that the rotation is in place.

[0097] In addition, the outer surface of the rotating part 511 may be provided with several raised ribs to increase the friction between the user's hand and the rotating part 511, making it easier for the user to rotate the rotating part 511.

[0098] See Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, the foot bath 1 further includes a rotation limiting member 43, which is connected to one of the turntable 41 and the guide member 34. The other of the turntable 41 and the guide member 34 is provided with a rotation engagement part. The rotation limiting member 43 is slidably connected to the rotation engagement part to limit the rotation range of the turntable 41 relative to the guide member 34 and avoid excessive rotation.

[0099] Understandably, the rotation limiting member 43 includes a slider disposed on the turntable 41, and the rotation mating part includes a groove disposed on the flow guide 34. By moving the slider within the groove, the rotation range of the turntable 41 relative to the flow guide 34 can be limited to avoid excessive rotation of the turntable 41. That is, the rotation range can be limited by the groove, allowing the user to quickly match various spray patterns within a shorter rotation range.

[0100] See Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, to improve the connection reliability between the first support 51 and the turntable 41, the foot bath 1 further includes a movable limiting member 70. The movable limiting member 70 is located on one of the turntable 41 and the insertion part 512. The other of the turntable 41 and the insertion part 512 is provided with a limiting engagement part 514. The movable limiting member 70 is connected to the limiting engagement part 514 to limit the movement distance of the first support 51 along the axis of the mounting hole 25.

[0101] It should be noted that the movable limiting member 70 may include a retaining ring, and the limiting mating part 514 may include a retaining groove provided in the insertion part 512. When the insertion part 512 is inserted into the turntable 41, the axial movement of the insertion part 512 and the turntable 41 in the mounting hole 25 can be restricted by the compression of the retaining ring between the turntable 41 and the insertion part 512, thereby improving the connection reliability.

[0102] In addition, the movable limiting member 70 may also include a buckle provided on the insertion part 512, and the movable mating part may also include a slot provided on the turntable 41. The axial displacement of the turntable 41 and the insertion part 512 is limited by the engagement of the buckle and the slot. This application does not limit this.

[0103] In some embodiments, the foot bath 1 further includes a heating element to even out the water temperature and prevent localized overheating or undercooling of the liquid. Understandably, the heating element may include a PTC heater, a DPS heating device, or a heating wire, etc., and this application is not limited thereto.

[0104] In some embodiments, the foot bath 1 further includes an air supply component to inject air bubbles into the liquid in the foot bath cavity 13, thereby using the air bubbles to drive the liquid flow and enrich the user's foot bath experience. This application will not elaborate on this.

[0105] The technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or complemented by each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings. All modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
