Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.
[0034] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 This invention describes the foot bath device provided by this utility model.
[0035] See Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the foot bath device provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes: a tub body 100, a medicine chamber 200, and a heating component 300.
[0036] A first water storage cavity is formed inside the barrel body 100; a medicine container 200 is disposed inside the barrel body 100, and the medicine container 200 is provided with a second water storage cavity, which is connected to the first water storage cavity; the heating component 300 includes a heating element 310, which is disposed inside the second water storage cavity.
[0037] The foot bath device provided by this utility model has a medicine chamber 200 set in the barrel 100 and a heating element 310 set in the medicine chamber 200. When taking a foot bath, the medicine pack can be placed in the second water storage chamber first, and the water in the second water storage chamber can be heated to a higher temperature by the heating element 310, so that the effective ingredients of the medicine pack can be fully extracted to form a medicinal liquid. Then, the medicinal liquid in the second water storage chamber is mixed with the water in the first water storage chamber, which has a relatively lower temperature, to obtain a foot bath liquid with a suitable temperature and sufficient medicinal effect, which can significantly improve the foot bath effect of the foot bath device.
[0038] Specifically, the foot bath device provided by this utility model includes a tub body 100, a medicine chamber 200, and a heating component 300.
[0039] The tub body 100 may include a main body 110, a tub base 120, a frame cover 130, and a heat-insulating cover 140. A first water storage chamber is formed within the main body 110 to hold water and provide space for a foot bath, having a certain volume to allow the user to place their feet inside. The tub base 120 is detachably disposed at the bottom of the main body 110 to fix and support the main body 110 and to install specific components required for fixing the foot bath. The frame cover 130 is disposed at the top port of the main body 110 to strengthen the structural strength of the main body 110 and prevent it from deforming under pressure. The tub body 100 may also include a heat-insulating cover 140, which is used to seal the first water storage chamber when needed, slowing down the rate at which the water temperature in the first water storage chamber decreases.
[0040] The medicine compartment 200 is used to hold medicine packets (or medicinal materials) and releases the active ingredients from the medicine packets into the water through a second water storage chamber that communicates with the first water storage chamber inside the barrel 100. The medicine compartment 200 can be designed as a separate component, installed independently inside the barrel 100, forming the second water storage chamber, and connected to the first water storage chamber via a channel or pipe structure. Alternatively, the medicine compartment 200 can also be integrated with the barrel 100 to form the second water storage chamber; there is no particular limitation on this option.
[0041] As an example, in this embodiment, the medicine compartment 200 is an independent component, which is integrally set with the frame cover 130 of the barrel 100, eliminating the connection structure between the medicine compartment 200 and the barrel 100, making the overall structure of the foot bath simpler and improving the compactness of the foot bath.
[0042] The heating component 300 is used to heat the water in the second water storage chamber within the medicine compartment 200 separately, raising it to a higher temperature (e.g., above 50°C). This promotes the dissolution and release of the active ingredients in the medicine packet into the water, forming a medicinal liquid. The medicinal liquid can then mix with the water in the first water storage chamber within the barrel 100 through channels or pipes to form a foot bath solution with a suitable temperature and sufficient efficacy. The heating component 300 includes a heating element 310, which can rapidly heat the medicinal liquid in the second water storage chamber when energized. The heating element 310 can be a heating body, heating wire, or heating tube, etc., without special limitations.
[0043] In some embodiments, the heating element 310 may be configured with a thermostat to prevent overheating or dry burning.
[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the foot bath further includes: a water guiding component 400, which includes two water guiding channels 410. The two water guiding channels 410 are used to connect the first water storage chamber and the second water storage chamber to form a loop. At least one water guiding channel 410 is provided with a water guiding controller 420, which is used to control the flow state of water in the water guiding channel 410.
[0045] By setting the water guiding component 400, the first water storage chamber and the second water storage chamber can be connected to form a circuit, so that the high-temperature medicine in the first water storage chamber and the low-temperature water in the second water storage chamber can flow and mix with each other to obtain a physiotherapy medicine with suitable temperature and sufficient efficacy.
[0046] The water guide controller 420 is used to control the on / off state and flow rate of the water guide channel 410, that is, it can drive the liquid to flow in a set direction and control the flow rate. The water guide controller 420 can be a structure combining a pump body and a valve. For example, in the water guide controller 420, the pump body is responsible for providing the driving force to drive the water flow, while the valve is used to regulate the on / off state or flow rate of the inlet channel. The water guide controller 420 can also be a structure with a single pump body or a single valve body. The water guide controller 420 can be a unidirectional pump without a check valve, such as a centrifugal pump; the water guide controller 420 can also be a bidirectional pump, such as a diaphragm pump.
[0047] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, one water guiding channel 410 is a water inlet channel and the other water guiding channel 410 is a water outlet channel, and both the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel are equipped with a water guiding controller 420.
[0048] By configuring the two water channels 410 as an inlet channel and an outlet channel respectively, and installing a water controller 420 on both the inlet and outlet channels, one set of water channels 410 and water controller 420 can be used as the inlet component, and the other set of water channels 410 and water controller 420 can be used as the outlet component. This allows the foot bath to achieve more precise switching and flow control of water exchange, thus improving the overall user experience of the foot bath.
[0049] Specifically, the water inlet assembly is used to guide water from the first water storage chamber to the second water storage chamber, and the water outlet assembly is used to export the medicinal liquid from the second water storage chamber to the first water storage chamber, ensuring that the water flow in the foot bath can be adjusted or circulated as needed. For example, when the foot bath is working, the water guide controller 420 on the water inlet channel can be turned on first and the water guide controller 420 on the water outlet channel can be turned off. The water in the first water storage chamber is guided into the second water storage chamber through the water guide controller 420 on the water inlet channel and heated to a higher temperature, allowing the effective ingredients of the medicinal pack to be fully extracted (at this time, there is no need to manually add water to the first water storage chamber). Then, the water guide controller 420 on the water inlet channel is turned off and the water guide controller 420 on the water outlet channel is turned on, allowing the high-temperature medicinal liquid in the second water storage chamber to be guided into the first water storage chamber, where it mixes with the relatively cool water to form a foot bath liquid with a suitable temperature and sufficient medicinal effect for the user to use. Of course, water can also be manually added to the first water storage chamber when the foot bath is working to dissolve the effective ingredients of the medicinal pack. In addition, once the active ingredients of the medicine packet in the first water storage chamber have been fully extracted, the low-temperature water in the second water storage chamber can be introduced into the second water storage chamber to mix with the high-temperature medicine liquid for preliminary mixing, so as to appropriately reduce the temperature of the medicine liquid. Then, the preliminarily mixed medicine liquid can be exported into the first water storage chamber, which can effectively prevent the high-temperature medicine liquid from scalding the feet.
[0050] When a user soaks their feet, the water in the second water storage chamber is heated and then introduced into the first water storage chamber, which also helps maintain the water temperature in the first water storage chamber. Specifically, the water in the second water storage chamber can be heated while the inlet and outlet channels are closed; then, the water guide controller 420 on the outlet channel can be opened to allow the water in the second water storage chamber to enter the first water storage chamber, or the water guide controller 420 on the inlet channel can be opened to allow the water in the first water storage chamber to enter the second water storage chamber, pre-mix with the water in the second water storage chamber, and then the water guide controller 420 on the outlet channel can be opened to allow the water in the second water storage chamber to enter the first water storage chamber.
[0051] Both the inlet and outlet water channels can be channel structures formed by pipes or water circuit boards and other components. The specific settings can be determined according to the functional requirements and spatial layout of the foot bath, and no special restrictions are imposed on them.
[0052] See Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the water guiding component 400 further includes a first filter element 430 and a second filter element 440. The first filter element 430 is disposed at the inlet end of the water inlet channel, and the second filter element 440 is disposed at the inlet end of the water outlet channel.
[0053] By installing a first filter element 430 at the inlet end of the water inlet channel, solid impurities (such as small-particle medicinal residue or foot dirt) in the first water storage chamber can be prevented from entering the water inlet channel and causing blockage of the water guide controller 420 on the water inlet channel. Similarly, by installing a second filter element 440 at the inlet end of the water outlet channel, solid impurities in the second water storage chamber can be prevented from entering the water outlet channel and causing blockage of the water guide controller 420 on the water outlet channel. In other words, by installing the first filter element 430 and the second filter element 440, equipment malfunctions are reduced, and the stability and reliability of the foot bath during use are improved.
[0054] The first filter element 430 and the second filter element 440 can be of the same type or different types of filter elements, without special limitation. For example, the first filter element 430 and the second filter element 440 can use the same type of filter element, employing the same pore size or material to ensure consistent filtration performance. Both the first filter element 430 and the second filter element 440 can be selected from mesh filter elements, activated carbon filter elements, or foam filter elements, without special limitation.
[0055] As an example, in this embodiment, both the first filter element 430 and the second filter element 440 are foam filters, which are made of foam material and have a large porosity, enabling them to hold more solid impurities.
[0056] Of course, in some embodiments, the first filter element 430 may be provided only at the inlet end of the water inlet channel, or the second filter element 440 may be provided only at the inlet end of the water outlet channel, without any specific limitation.
[0057] See Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the inlet end of the water inlet channel is located at the bottom of the first water storage chamber, and the first filter element 430 is detachably located at the inlet end of the water inlet channel; the inlet end of the water outlet channel is located at the bottom of the second water storage chamber, and the second filter element 440 is detachably located at the inlet end of the water outlet channel.
[0058] By placing the inlet end of the water inlet channel at the bottom of the first water storage chamber and detachably placing the first filter element 430 at the inlet end of the water inlet channel, it is convenient to periodically remove the first filter element 430 for cleaning, preventing the accumulation of impurities from clogging the inlet end of the water inlet channel. Similarly, by placing the inlet end of the water outlet channel at the bottom of the second water storage chamber and detachably placing the second filter element 440 at the inlet end of the water outlet channel, it is convenient to periodically remove the second filter element 440 for cleaning, preventing the accumulation of impurities from clogging the inlet end of the water outlet channel.
[0059] The detachable connection methods for the first filter element 430 and the second filter element 440 include various methods, such as snap-fit, plug-in, or threaded connection, without any particular limitation. For snap-fit connection, a slot can be provided at the corresponding port, and the first filter element 430 and the second filter element 440 can be directly snapped into the slot. For plug-in connection, a slot can be provided at the corresponding port, and the first filter element 430 and the second filter element 440 can be directly inserted into the slot. For threaded connection, a fixing bracket with a threaded interface can be provided, the first filter element 430 and the second filter element 440 are mounted on the fixing bracket, and the fixing bracket is then threadedly connected to the corresponding port.
[0060] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, a first temperature sensor 320 is provided in the second water storage chamber; the first temperature sensor 320 is communicatively connected to the water guide controller 420 to adjust the flow rate of water exchange between the first water storage chamber and the second water storage chamber, and / or, the first temperature sensor 320 is communicatively connected to the heating element 310 to adjust the heating power of the heating element 310.
[0061] By installing a first temperature sensor 320 inside the second water storage chamber, the temperature of the medicinal liquid inside the second water storage chamber can be detected in real time. Based on the feedback from the medicinal liquid temperature, the heating power of the heating element 310 and / or the water flow rate of the second water storage chamber can be adjusted to control the temperature of the medicinal liquid inside the second water storage chamber within the indicated range, and to control the temperature of the mixture of the high-temperature medicinal liquid in the second water storage chamber and the low-temperature water in the first water storage chamber within a suitable range. For example, when the first temperature sensor 320 detects that the temperature of the medicinal liquid inside the second water storage chamber exceeds a preset range, the heating power of the heating element 310 and / or the water flow rate of the second water storage chamber can be appropriately reduced; correspondingly, when the first temperature sensor 320 detects that the temperature of the medicinal liquid inside the second water storage chamber is below a preset range, the heating power of the heating element 310 and / or the water flow rate of the second water storage chamber can be appropriately increased.
[0062] It should be noted that the foot bath is equipped with a controller (not shown in the figure). The first temperature sensor 320 can be connected to the water guide controller 420 and / or the heating element 310 through the controller. After the first temperature sensor 320 transmits the temperature data to the controller, the controller can adjust the flow rate of water exchange between the first water storage chamber and the second water storage chamber through the water guide controller 420, and / or adjust the heating power of the heating element 310.
[0063] In some embodiments, a temperature sensor may be installed in the first water storage chamber to monitor the temperature of the mixed medicine solution in the first water storage chamber in real time.
[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the foot bath also includes a liquid level sensor (not shown in the figure), which is used to directly or indirectly detect the liquid level in the second liquid storage chamber. The liquid level sensor is communicatively connected to the heating element 310 to adjust the working state of the heating element 310.
[0065] In some embodiments, the liquid level sensor can be directly installed in the second water storage chamber. In other embodiments, when the liquid levels in the first and second liquid storage chambers are consistent, for example, when the first and second liquid storage chambers are connected by a siphon, the liquid level sensor can be installed in the first liquid storage chamber. The liquid level sensor can indirectly detect the liquid level in the second liquid storage chamber by detecting the liquid level in the first liquid storage chamber, which can avoid the liquid level sensor occupying the space of the narrower second liquid storage chamber.
[0066] The liquid level sensor can be connected to the controller and the heating element 310 through communication. That is, the liquid level sensor and the heating element 310 are respectively connected to the controller through communication. The liquid level sensor transmits the detected liquid level to the controller. The controller controls the opening and closing and power level of the heating element 310 according to the liquid level information transmitted by the liquid level sensor.
[0067] After the liquid level sensor is connected to the heating element 310, when the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the second water storage chamber is lower than the position of the heating element 310, the controller can control the heating element 310 to stop working. Of course, the controller can also control the heating element 310 to stop working when the liquid level in the second water storage chamber is slightly higher than the position of the heating element 310.
[0068] The foot bath device provided in this embodiment can control the heating element 310 to stop working when the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the second water storage chamber is lower than the position of the heating element 310, that is, when the liquid in the second water storage chamber cannot submerge the working surface of the heating element 310, thereby avoiding the heating element 310 from burning dry and improving product safety.
[0069] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the first water storage cavity includes a lower limb receiving area 150, and the medicine storage chamber 200 is provided with a steam outlet structure 210 for connecting the first water storage cavity and the second water storage cavity. The steam outlet structure 210 is located on the side wall of the medicine storage chamber 200 away from the lower limb receiving area 150.
[0070] By setting up a steam outlet structure 210 and placing it on the side wall of the medicine chamber 200 away from the lower limb receiving area 150, the steam generated by heating in the second water storage chamber can be directed to the side where the first water storage chamber is located. This allows users to enjoy steam treatment on their legs while soaking their feet, thus enhancing the user experience. Simultaneously, the location of the steam outlet structure 210 on the side wall of the medicine chamber 200 away from the lower limb receiving area 150 ensures that the steam outlet is far from the user's legs, allowing sufficient time for the steam to cool down and preventing the high-temperature steam from directly affecting the user's legs.
[0071] The steam outlet structure 210 can be a hollow structure such as a steam outlet hole or a steam outlet groove, and there is no special limitation on it. For example, in this embodiment, the steam outlet structure 210 is a steam outlet hole.
[0072] See Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the foot bath device further includes: a fumigation component 500, the fumigation component 500 including a fan 510, the fan 510 being disposed in the medicine chamber 200, the fan 510 being used to transport water vapor in the second water storage chamber to the first water storage chamber through the steam outlet structure 210.
[0073] By setting up the fumigation component 500, the fan 510 of the fumigation component 500 can use the heat generated in the second water storage chamber to be discharged through the steam outlet structure 210 to the side where the first water storage chamber is located, so that users can perform fumigation care on their legs with medicinal steam while foot bathing, thereby improving the user experience.
[0074] The blower 510 can drive the liquid medicine vapor to the side where the first water storage chamber is located by either blowing or suction. For example, when the blower 510 is blown, it can be installed on the side wall of the medicine chamber 200, and the strong airflow will push the liquid medicine vapor to flow towards the steam outlet structure 210 and enter the side where the first water storage chamber is located. When the blower 510 is suction, it can also be installed directly at the steam outlet structure 210, and the suction will draw out the liquid medicine vapor and guide it to the side where the first water storage chamber is located.
[0075] Understandably, to prevent the blower 510 from coming into contact with the liquid medicine, it is preferable to place the blower 510 in the upper middle part of the medicine tank 200.
[0076] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the medicine chamber 200 is located on the back side inside the barrel 100, and the steam outlet structure 210 is located on the side wall of the medicine chamber 200 away from the first water storage chamber.
[0077] By placing the medicine chamber 200 on the back side of the barrel 100 and placing the steam outlet structure 210 on the side wall of the medicine chamber 200 away from the first water storage chamber, the steam outlet position of the medicine liquid can be far away from the user's legs, allowing the medicine liquid steam to have enough time to cool down and preventing the high-temperature medicine liquid steam from directly acting on the user's legs.
[0078] Specifically, when using the foot bath, the user faces the front side of the foot bath and both feet are in the first liquid storage chamber. At this time, the user's legs are far from the back of the foot bath. When the medicinal steam flows in the air, it can exchange heat with the air and the temperature gradually decreases. By the time it reaches the user's legs, it has cooled to a suitable temperature, which can prevent the user from being burned or causing discomfort.
[0079] See Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the fumigation assembly 500 further includes a second temperature sensor 520, which is located in the outlet area of the steam outlet structure 210; the second temperature sensor 520 is communicatively connected to the fan 510 to adjust the speed of the fan 510, and / or the second temperature sensor 520 is communicatively connected to the heating element 310 to adjust the heating power of the heating element 310.
[0080] By setting a second temperature sensor 520, the temperature change of the liquid medicine vapor in the outlet area of the steam outlet structure 210 can be monitored in real time, and the operating parameters of the fan 510 and / or the heating element 310 can be adjusted according to the actual temperature to improve the user experience. For example, when the second temperature sensor 520 detects that the temperature in the outlet area of the steam outlet structure 210 exceeds a preset range, the heating power of the heating element 310 and / or the speed of the fan 510 can be appropriately reduced; correspondingly, when the second temperature sensor 520 detects that the temperature in the outlet area of the steam outlet structure 210 is lower than a preset range, the heating power of the heating element 310 can be appropriately increased and / or the speed of the fan 510 can be appropriately reduced.
[0081] It should be noted that the foot bath is equipped with a controller (not shown in the figure). The second temperature sensor 520 can be connected to the fan 510 and / or the heating element 310 through the controller. After the second temperature sensor 520 transmits the temperature data to the controller, the controller can adjust the speed of the fan 510 and / or adjust the heating power of the heating element 310.
[0082] In some embodiments, a medicine compartment cover may also be provided, which can be locked by an electronic lock. When the medicine compartment is in the process of boiling medicine packets, the electronic lock controls the medicine compartment cover to lock, preventing the medicine compartment cover from opening and scalding the user.
[0083] See Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the foot bath further includes: a filter chamber 600, a filter cavity is formed inside the filter chamber 600, and a filter structure 610 is provided in the filter chamber 600, the filter structure 610 being used to connect the filter cavity and the second water storage cavity.
[0084] By setting up the filter chamber 600, medicinal materials or medicine packets can be placed directly into the filter chamber 600. Solid impurities generated by the medicinal materials or medicine packets when soaking in water can be filtered by the filter structure 610, preventing them from entering the filter chamber 600. This can effectively prevent large-particle solid impurities from getting stuck in the components inside the medicine chamber 200 or the water passage structure connected to the medicine chamber 200.
[0085] The filter structure 610 can employ a filter hole or a filter screen. For example, when the filter structure 610 is a filter hole, holes can be directly made at a lower position (such as the bottom or a side wall near the bottom) of the filter chamber 600. The aperture of the filter hole can be designed according to the particle size of the solid impurities produced by the medicinal materials or medicine pack. When the filter structure 610 is a filter screen, an opening can be first set at a lower position of the filter chamber 600, and the filter screen can be fixed at the opening (such as by clipping or fixing with threaded connectors). Similarly, the aperture of the filter screen can be designed according to the particle size of the solid impurities produced by the medicinal materials or medicine pack.
[0086] The filter chamber 600 and the medicine chamber 200 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected, without any special limitation. For example, when the filter chamber 600 and the medicine chamber 200 are fixedly connected, the filter structure 610 can adopt the structure of the filter screen plate described above. When cleaning is required, the filter screen plate can be removed. When the filter chamber 600 and the medicine chamber 200 are detachably connected, the filter structure 610 can adopt the structure of the filter holes described above. When cleaning is required, the entire filter chamber 600 can be removed.
[0087] See Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, at least a portion of the filter chamber 600 is disposed within the medicine chamber 200, and the filter chamber 600 and the medicine chamber 200 are detachably connected.
[0088] By placing at least a portion of the filter chamber 600 within the medicine chamber 200 and configuring the filter chamber 600 and the medicine chamber 200 to be detachably connected, the medicine chamber 200 can accommodate at least a portion of the volume of the filter chamber 600, reducing the space occupied by the filter chamber 600. At the same time, when cleaning is required, the filter chamber 600 can be removed as a whole. Its structure is simple and its operation is convenient.
[0089] There are several ways to detachably connect the filter chamber 600 and the medicine chamber 200. For example, an outer edge can be provided at the top port of the filter chamber 600, which can be directly overlapped with the port of the medicine chamber 200; or, a snap-fit structure (such as a slot) can be provided on the side wall of the medicine chamber 200, and a matching snap-fit structure (such as a snap-fit part) can be provided at the corresponding position on the side wall of the filter chamber 600, so that the two can be snap-fitted together.
[0090] See Figure 1 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the top port of the filter chamber 600 is flush with the top port of the medicine chamber 200, and a gap is provided between the bottom of the filter chamber 600 and the bottom of the medicine chamber 200.
[0091] By aligning the top port of the filter chamber 600 with the top port of the medicine chamber 200, and creating a gap between the bottom of the filter chamber 600 and the bottom of the medicine chamber 200, the entire filter chamber 600 can be housed within the medicine chamber 200, preventing its top port from protruding and reducing the space occupied by the foot bath. Simultaneously, the gap ensures sufficient space between the bottom of the filter chamber 600 and the bottom of the medicine chamber 200 to accommodate the heating element 320 and the medicinal liquid.
