[0001] This utility model relates to a bathing device. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese patent document CN223049469U discloses a bathing device, which includes a shell, a shower faucet, a water outlet device, and a foaming module. The shell has an installation cavity. The shower faucet is located within the installation cavity and includes a faucet body and a control valve assembly. The faucet body has a mixing chamber and a first water outlet channel and a second water outlet channel communicating with the mixing chamber. There are at least two second water outlet channels. The control valve assembly controls the opening and closing of the water inlet channel, the first water outlet channel, and the second water outlet channel. The water outlet device includes a first water outlet and a second water outlet. The first water outlet is connected to the first water outlet channel, and the number of second water outlets is the same as the number of second water outlet channels, and they are connected one-to-one. The foaming module is located within the installation cavity and is positioned between the first water outlet and the first water outlet channel. The foaming module mixes cleaning liquid with clean water to generate foam, which is then sprayed out through the first water outlet. This bathing device requires multiple control valves to control the opening and closing of the water inlet channel, the first water outlet channel, and the second water outlet channel, resulting in a complex water circuit structure and high cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a bubble bath device that is simple in structure, low in cost, and has a good foaming effect.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A bubble bath device, characterized in that it includes an inlet tee, a throttle valve, a foamer, an outlet tee, a control valve, a liquid pump, and an air inflation device. The inlet tee includes an inlet, a first outlet, and a second outlet that are interconnected. The outlet tee includes an outlet, a first inlet, and a second inlet that are interconnected. The foamer is located at the first inlet. The first outlet is connected to the foamer via a first pipe. The throttle valve is located at the first outlet to output a constant flow of water. The inlet end of the control valve is connected to the second outlet, and the outlet end is connected to the second inlet. The output end of the liquid pump is connected to the foamer via a second pipe for pumping cleaning liquid to the foamer. The air inflation device is connected to the foamer via a third pipe for providing foaming gas to the foamer.

[0006] In the above solution, the inlet is connected to the water supply pipe, and the outlet is connected to the shower head. When cleaning fluid is not needed, the control valve is opened, allowing water entering from the inlet to pass sequentially through the second outlet, the control valve, and the second inlet, finally entering the shower head from the outlet. Simultaneously, water entering from the inlet also passes sequentially through the first outlet, the first pipe, and the foamer, finally entering the shower head from the outlet and being sprayed out. When cleaning foam is needed, the control valve is closed, and the liquid pump and air inflation device are activated. Water entering from the inlet passes through the first outlet and the first pipe, entering the foamer to mix with the cleaning fluid and gas to form cleaning foam, finally entering the shower head from the outlet and being sprayed out. This solution only requires one control valve to switch between water spraying and cleaning foam spraying; and the use of a flow throttle keeps the water entering the foamer constant, thus ensuring the foaming effect. Compared with existing technologies, it has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and good foaming effect.

The outlet is located at the lower end of the second main pipe section, the first inlet is located at the upper end of the second main pipe section, and the second inlet is located at the other end of the second side pipe section. The first main pipe body and the second main pipe body are arranged in parallel. This structure makes the overall structure of the product more reasonable and compact, and reduces the product volume.

[0008] It also includes a housing, in which the inlet tee, throttle, foamer, outlet tee, control valve, liquid pump and air inflation device are installed. A wall-mounting structure is provided on the back of the housing. The lower ends of the first main pipe section and the second main pipe section extend from the bottom surface of the housing to the outside of the housing. The bottom surface of the housing is provided with mounting holes for installing a cleaning liquid storage container. This structure facilitates the connection of the water supply pipeline and the shower head with the shower device, as well as the replacement or replenishment of the cleaning liquid.

The second connecting pipe is located on the top of the second end cap for connecting to the first pipe. The third and fourth connecting pipes are connected to the sides of the second end cap for connecting to the second and third pipes, respectively. This structure facilitates product assembly.

[0014] The throttle limits the first outlet to a constant output of 0.5-1.5 liters of water per minute, which ensures the foaming effect of the cleaning solution.

[0015] It also includes a controller, wherein the control valve is a solenoid valve, and the controller is connected to the solenoid valve, the liquid pump and the inflation device respectively, and is used to control the working status of the solenoid valve, the liquid pump and the inflation device.

The specific connection structure is the same as that of the first pair of connecting pipes 61, and will not be described in detail here.

[0025] Foamer B is located at the first inlet 55. The first outlet 15 is connected to foamer B through the first pipe 3, which is a flexible hose. A flow throttle 9 is located at the first outlet 15 to ensure a constant flow of water. The first outlet 15 of the inlet tee pipe 1 is equipped with a first end cap 2. The upper end of the first end cap 2 is equipped with a first connecting pipe 21 for connecting the first pipe 3. The flow throttle 9 is located in the first outlet 55 and is sealed by the first end cap 2. The first end cap 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first main pipe 11 by fasteners. The output end of the pump 73 is connected to foamer B through the second pipe 74 to pump cleaning liquid into foamer B. The input end of the pump 73 is connected to the cleaning liquid storage container 71 through the fourth pipe 72. The aeration device 81 is connected to foamer B through the third pipe 82 to provide foaming gas to foamer B. The second pipe 3, the third pipe 82, and the fourth pipe 72 are also flexible hoses.

[0026] Foamer B includes a second end cap 4, a second connecting pipe 41, a third connecting pipe 42, and a fourth connecting pipe 43. The second end cap 4 forms a foaming chamber 44.
