[0019] Hereinafter, several embodiments of the present invention will be disclosed with reference to the drawings. For the purpose of clarity, many details of the implementation will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these details of the implementation are not intended to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these details of the implementation are not necessary. In addition, in order to simplify the description of the drawings, some conventional structures and components are shown schematically in the drawings.
[0020] In addition, in the embodiments of the present invention, all terms indicating directions (up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are merely used to interpret the relative positional relationships and movement situations of each part in a specific posture (see the drawings), and when the specific posture changes, the terms indicating directions also change accordingly.
[0021] Furthermore, in this invention, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., is for descriptive purposes only and does not indicate any particular order or sequence, nor does it limit the invention. It merely serves to distinguish between components or operations described with the same technical terms, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or the number of technical features covered. Accordingly, a feature defined by "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the feature. Furthermore, while the technical features of each embodiment may be combined with each other, it is assumed that such combination can be realized by a person skilled in the art. If a combination of technical features contradicts or is not possible, such combination of technical features should be deemed not to exist and not within the scope of protection claimed by the invention.
[0022] In order to better understand the contents, features and effects of the present invention, the following examples are given and described in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the present invention provides a safe health chamber, which includes a base 1, a top cover 2, a steam generator 3, a control panel 4, at least two temperature sensors 5, and a first control switch. A cavity 11 is formed in the base 1. The top cover 2 is movably mounted on the base 1. A steam outlet of the steam generator 3 communicates with the cavity 11. The control panel 4 is mounted on the top cover 2 and electrically connected to the steam generator 3. The at least two temperature sensors 5 are both mounted in the top cover 2 and electrically connected to the control panel 4. The first control switch is electrically connected to the control panel.
[0023] The above-mentioned "top cover 2 is movably provided to cover base 1" means that top cover 2 can be opened and closed relative to base 1. Specifically, opening top cover 2 relative to base 1 may mean completely removing top cover 2 from base 1.
[0024] In actual use, there are two temperature sensors 5, and the user can first set the target temperature and time on the control panel 4, then open the top cover 2 to enter the cavity 11, and then close the top cover 2. The control panel 4 controls the first control switch to close the circuit, and the steam generator 3 is powered on to generate high-temperature steam. The high-temperature steam flows in the cavity 11, promoting sweating, improving blood circulation, promoting fatigue recovery, stress relief, and skin care. The two temperature sensors 5 simultaneously monitor the temperature in the cavity 11 and provide real-time feedback to the control panel 4, and the control panel 4 controls based on the feedback results of the two temperature sensors 5. The temperatures monitored by the two temperature sensors 5 are When both of the two temperature sensors 5 reach a preset temperature value (e.g., 40°C) and are within an error range of the preset temperature value (e.g., 40°C ± 2°C), the control panel controls the first control switch to open the circuit and turn off the steam generating device 3; when the temperature monitored by one of the two temperature sensors 5 reaches the preset temperature value and the temperature monitored by the other temperature sensor 5 reaches or exceeds the preset temperature value, the control panel controls the first control switch to open the circuit and turn off the steam generating device 3, which is more reliable and safer to use than when using only one temperature sensor 5. Specifically, the steam generating device 3 may be a steam generator.
[0025] Specifically, the two temperature sensors 5 are both provided in the upper part of the upper cover 2.
[0026] In actual use, the temperatures monitored by the two temperature sensors 5 may both exceed the preset temperature value because the first control switch is not open. In some preferred embodiments, to avoid this situation, the safe health chamber further includes a second control switch, which is connected in series with the first control switch. In this technical embodiment, when the temperatures monitored by the two temperature sensors 5 both exceed the preset temperature value, the control panel 4 controls the second control switch to open the circuit, and the entire safe health chamber is powered off. As a result, the steam generating device 3 continues to operate and does not generate high-temperature steam, further improving safety in use.
[0027] To achieve better effects from the traditional sauna, Chinese herbal medicines are generally added to the steam generator 3, and in some preferred embodiments, to make it easier to add the Chinese herbal medicines and then remove and clean the herbal medicines from the steam generator 3 after the traditional sauna is over, the steam generator 3 is mounted outside the base 1, and the base 1 is provided with an air inlet 13 which communicates with the cavity 11, and the steam outlet of the steam generator 3 communicates with the air inlet 13 via a pipeline. The Chinese herbal steam generated by the steam generator 3 passes through the steam outlet of the steam generator 3, the pipeline and the air inlet 13 in this order, before entering the cavity 11 and acting on the human body.
[0028] In some preferred embodiments, a vapor diffusion box 10 is provided in the cavity 11 so that the vapor is uniformly distributed in the cavity 11. The side wall of the vapor diffusion box 10 has a vapor inlet 1011 and a plurality of exhaust holes 1012, and the steam inlet 1011 is connected to the air supply hole 13 via a pipeline. In this technical embodiment, the vapor generated by the steam generator 3 enters the vapor diffusion box 10 through the steam outlet of the steam generator 3, the air supply hole 13, and the steam inlet in this order, and then diffuses uniformly into the cavity 11 through the plurality of exhaust holes 1012.
[0029] 6, in some preferred embodiments, the vapor diffusion box 10 includes a box 101, a cover 102, and a perforated plate 103. A vapor inlet 1011 and a plurality of exhaust holes 1012 are both located on the side wall of the box 101. The cover 102 is provided to cover the box 101. The inner wall of the box 101 has a plurality of support ribs 1013 extending inward, and the perforated plate 103 is provided on the support ribs 1013 and is located between the vapor inlet 1011 and the exhaust holes 1012. In this technical embodiment, when vapor entering the vapor diffusion box 10 flows toward the plurality of exhaust holes 1012, it is dispersed by the porous structure on the perforated plate 103, which allows the vapor to diffuse more uniformly into the cavity 11 through the plurality of exhaust holes 1012.
[0030] In some preferred embodiments, to provide a better user experience, an opening 21 is provided in the top cover 2. In actual use, when the user is in the cavity 11, the user's head can be exposed from the cavity 11 through the opening 21, allowing the user to breathe smoothly.
[0031] In some preferred embodiments, the control panel 4 is located on one side of the opening 21. In this technical embodiment, the user can view the contents displayed on the control panel 4 in real time, which is advantageous for knowing the operating status of the health chamber.
[0032] In some preferred embodiments, the above-mentioned safe-to-use health chamber further includes a support plate 6, which is provided on the base 1 and located above the cavity 11, and has a notch 61 at the edge of the support plate 6, which communicates with the cavity 11. In this technical embodiment, a user can lie on the support plate 6 to enjoy a traditional sauna, improving the comfort of the traditional sauna.
[0033] Specifically, the inner wall of the base 1 has a boss 12 extending inward, and a limiting groove that fits the shape of the support plate 6 is formed between the boss 12 and the inner wall of the base 1, and the support plate 6 is positioned within the limiting groove and abuts against the boss 12. In this technical embodiment, the support plate 6 can be well fixed.
[0034] In some preferred embodiments, a first insulating cover 7 is provided in the base 1, a second insulating cover 8 is provided in the top cover 2, and the at least two temperature sensors 5 are both housed in the second insulating cover 8. In this technical embodiment, good heat retention and insulation are achieved, preventing the heat in the cavity 11 from dissipating too quickly, and avoiding longer heating times, increased energy consumption, and unstable temperatures.
[0035] In some preferred embodiments, a drain pipe 9 is provided on the base 1, and the water inlet of the drain pipe 9 is connected to the cavity 11. In this technical aspect, not only can the sweat and water vapor generated by the human body in the cavity 11 during the traditional sauna bath be discharged through the drain pipe 9, but also the condensed water formed in the cavity 11 can be discharged through the drain pipe 9 after the traditional sauna bath is over, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the cavity 11.
[0036] Specifically, the cavity 11 is molded within the first insulating cover 7, a drain outlet 71 is provided at the bottom of the first insulating cover 7, the drain outlet 71 is connected to the cavity 11, and the water supply port of the drain pipe 9 is connected to the drain outlet 71.
[0037] In some preferred embodiments, one end of the top cover 2 is hinged to the base 1 to facilitate opening and closing the top cover 2. In this technical aspect, when opening or closing the top cover 2, simply applying force to the other end of the top cover 2 allows the top cover 2 to rotate around the end hinged to the base 1, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the top cover 2. Compared to completely removing the top cover 2 from the base 1 to open it, there is no need to repeatedly move the top cover 2. Furthermore, when a user wants to exit the cavity 11, they can open the top cover 2 by themselves without relying on others.
[0038] In some preferred embodiments, for easier use, the safe-to-use health chamber further includes a hydraulic rod 20. One end of the hydraulic rod 20 is connected to the base 1, and the other end of the hydraulic rod 20 is connected to the top cover 2. In actual use, one end of the top cover 2 is hingedly connected to the base 1, and the hydraulic rod 20 can support the top cover 2 when the top cover 2 is opened, so that the user does not need to constantly support the top cover 2 with their hands to keep it open when the top cover 2 is open.
[0039] Specifically, the number of hydraulic rods 20 is two, and the two hydraulic rods 20 can well support the top cover 2 when the top cover 2 is open.
[0040] As can be seen from the above, in one or more embodiments of the present invention, the safe-to-use health chamber of the present invention uses at least two temperature sensors to simultaneously monitor the temperature within the health chamber, making it more reliable and safer to use than a health chamber with only one temperature sensor.
[0041] The above-mentioned are merely embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
