Either mechanically or electrically. Either directly or indirectly through intervening media, either internally or in any other relationship. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood by those skilled in the art according to specific situations.

Referring to fig. 1 to 9, a foot bath tub 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, the foot bath tub 100 includes a base 10, a waterway system having at least a water tank 21, a foot bath 22, a first water pump 23 and a second water pump 24, and a first heating element 31, as shown in fig. 1.

Specifically, the water tank 21, the first water pump 23, the foot bath 22, and the second water pump 24 are sequentially connected and form a closed first water path. That is, the foot bath water may be introduced into the foot bath 22 from the water tank 21 by the driving of the first water pump 23, and after the foot bath is finished, the water in the foot bath 22 may be pumped and returned to the water tank 21 by the second water pump 24.

After the feet are soaked, the water tank 21 is detachably connected with the machine base 10 for the convenience of a user to soak the feet. That is, the water tank 21 is connected to the base 10 in a non-fixed manner, and the water tank 21 can be separated from the base 10, so that the water tank 21 can be removed from the base 10 before foot soaking, foot soaking water can be added, and then the water tank 21 is mounted on the base 10. After the feet are soaked, the water tank 21 is removed from the machine base 10, and the waste water is discharged.

The foot bath tub 100 operates by conducting a path between the water outlet of the water tank 21 and the first water pump 23, and supplying foot bath water to the foot bath 22 by the first water pump 23. After the feet are soaked, the passage between the water outlet of the water tank 21 and the first water pump 23 is cut off, the feet soaking water in the feet soaking basin 22 and the pipeline flows back to the water tank 21 under the driving of the second water pump 24, and a user can take out the water tank 21 from the machine base 10 and empty the feet soaking water.

In other words, when people use the footbath tub 100, people can add water and drain water through the water tank 21 without moving the whole footbath tub 100, and the use is convenient.

It is understood that the second pump 24 may be activated during the foot bath. For example, at the beginning of the foot bath mode, the first water pump 23 may be started, the second water pump 24 may be turned off, the foot bath water in the water tank 21 may be pre-delivered to the foot bath 22 by the first water pump 23, when the water amount in the foot bath 22 reaches the foot bath requirement, the first water pump 23 and the second water pump 24 may be simultaneously started, and the first water pump 23 and the second water pump 24 may drive the water flow to circulate between the water tank 21 and the foot bath 22, thereby providing a flowing foot bath mode. It can be understood that the water circulating can play a role of soft pressing for the feet of the user, and the comfort of the user is improved.

In the present application, the first heating element 31 may heat the water tank 21. For example, a first heating element 31 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 21. Still alternatively, the water flow is heated while flowing from the water tank 21 into the foot bath 22, i.e., the first heating element 31 forms a water passage, and the first heating element 31 is connected between the water tank 21 and the foot bath 22 and is heated when the water flow flows into the first heating element 31.

In the present application, the first heating element 31 may also heat the water in the footbath 22, i.e., the water flow is delivered to the footbath 22 in advance, and then the first heating element 31 is activated. In addition, the first heating element 31 may not be activated when the user adds warm water suitable for foot bath to the water tank 21.

In short, according to the foot bath tub 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the water flow smoothly flows into and out of the foot bath 22 through the division of work and cooperation of the first water pump 23 and the second water pump 24, and since the water tank 21 is detachably disposed on the base 10, a user can add or discharge water conveniently and easily, and the user experience is good.

In order to prevent the dirt in the foot basin 22 from flowing into the pipeline and affecting the normal flow of the waterway, in some embodiments of the present invention, a filtering device 25 is disposed between the foot basin 22 and the first water pump 23, and the filtering device 25 can reduce the entrance of large particulate matter into the pipeline, thereby ensuring the normal flow of the waterway. Wherein, the filtering device 25 can be a filter screen, and the filtering device 25 is detachably connected with the pipeline, so that when more dirt is retained on the filtering device 25, the filtering device can be detached for cleaning.

It can be understood that when the foot bath tub 100 is used by two or more persons together, since the foot environments of each person are different, in order to avoid cross infection, the waterway system is further provided with a sterilizing device which can sterilize the foot bath water in the pipeline. Alternatively, the sterilization device may be a silver ion sterilization device or an ultraviolet sterilization device. Preferably, the sterilization device is disposed between the water tank 21 and the footbath 22. Thus, the foot bath water is sterilized before entering the foot bath 22. Of course, a sterilization device may be disposed on the top of the foot basin 22, so as to sterilize the inner space of the foot basin 22, and further improve the safety of the foot bath tub 100.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the first heating element 31 is connected between the water tank 21 and the foot basin 22. Thus, the water flow is directly heated and then fed into the footbath 22 while passing through the first heating element 31. In other words, the first heating element 31 does not directly heat the water in the footbath 22, so that the temperature of the water in the footbath 22 is relatively uniform, the problem of local overheating is not easy to occur, and the user is prevented from being scalded by the overheated water temperature.

Optionally, the first heating element 31 is an instant heating tube. After the first heating element 31 heats the water flow to a preset temperature, it is fed into the foot bath 22.

Further alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, the water path system further includes a circulation pipe 26, an inlet of the circulation pipe 26 is connected between the first heating element 31 and the footbath 22, an outlet of the circulation pipe 26 is connected between the water tank 21 and the footbath 22, and the water tank 21, the first water pump 23, the first heating element 31 and the circulation pipe 26 are connected to form a closed second water path. That is, the foot bath water may be circulated in the second water path before the water flow is delivered to the foot bath 22, so that the water flow may be heated a plurality of times by the first heating element 31 and delivered out of the foot bath 22 after the water temperature reaches the user-set water temperature, whereby the user waiting time may be reduced and the heat loss may be reduced.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, the water outlet of the first heating element 31 may be provided with a first direction valve 41, the first direction valve 41 having one inlet and two outlets, wherein the inlet of the first direction valve 41 is connected to the water outlet of the first heating element 31, one of the outlets of the first direction valve 41 is connected to the circulation pipe 26, and the other outlet of the first direction valve 41 is connected to the footbath 22. When the water sent by the first heating element 31 reaches the water temperature set by the user, the footbath 22 is communicated with the water outlet of the first heating element 31, and the circulating pipe 26 is not communicated with the water outlet of the first heating element 31; in the case that the foot soaking water delivered from the first heating element 31 does not reach the water temperature set by the user, the foot soaking basin 22 is not communicated with the water outlet of the first heating element 31, and the circulating pipe 26 is communicated with the water outlet of the first heating element 31.

It can be understood that, in order to detect the water temperature at the water outlet of the first heating element 31, a water outlet temperature sensor 44 is disposed between the first direction valve 41 and the water outlet of the first heating element 31, and the control system of the footbath tub 100 controls the on/off of different flow paths of the first direction valve 41 according to the water outlet temperature fed back by the water outlet temperature sensor 44.

Further alternatively, the first water pump 23 is a flow pump, and the first water pump 23 is connected between the water outlet of the water tank 21 and the water inlet of the first heating element 31. The water inflow of the first heating element 31 is controlled by the flow pump, and the opening degree of the flow pump can be smaller under the condition that the rapid heating is needed, so that the water inflow entering the first heating element 31 is reduced, and at the moment, the first heating element 31 can rapidly heat up a small amount of water. When the water temperature reaches the water temperature set by the user, the opening degree of the flow pump can be larger, and hot water can be rapidly conveyed to the foot soaking basin 22.

In a further optional example, the water inlet of the first water pump 23 is further provided with a water inlet temperature sensor 43, the temperature of water flowing out from the water tank 21 is detected through the water inlet temperature sensor 43, the opening degree of the flow pump can be adjusted according to the water inlet temperature, under the condition that the water inlet temperature is high, the opening degree of the flow pump is large, under the condition that the water inlet temperature is low, the opening degree of the flow pump is small, and therefore the first water pump 23 can meet the requirements of different working conditions of the foot soaking barrel 100.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the waterway system further comprises: the steam flow path 27, the steam flow path 27 is provided with a third water pump 271, a second heating element 272 and a steam introducing device 273 in this order, wherein the inlet of the steam flow path 27 is connected to the water tank 21, and the outlet of the steam flow path 27 is communicated with the footbath 22. That is, a part of water in the water tank 21 can enter the steam flow path 27 under the driving of the third water pump 271, and is heated by the second heating element 272 to form steam, and is delivered to the footbath 22 through the steam introducing device 273, wherein the air inlet of the steam introducing device 273 is arranged opposite to the steam outlet of the second heating element 272, and the steam outlet of the second heating element 272 is larger than the air inlet of the steam introducing device 273, so that when the steam introducing device 273 operates, both steam and outside air can be delivered to the footbath 22, and the purpose of cooling the steam is achieved. In the foot bath process, steam can be intermittently supplied to the foot bath tub 22 through the steam flow path 27, and steam bath can be performed on the feet and legs of the user. The vapor introducing device 273 may be the fan 52.

Optionally, the steam flow path 27 is further provided with a fragrance box, so that the steam can also bring the fragrance into the foot soaking basin 22, thereby improving the comfort of the user for soaking feet.

Further optionally, an air outlet temperature sensor 274 is disposed at an air outlet of the steam guiding device 273, and when the air outlet temperature sensor 274 detects that the temperature of the steam is high, the steam outlet of the steam guiding device 273 can be closed, so as to prevent the user from being scalded by the high-temperature steam.

It is understood that the high temperature steam may be introduced into the foot bath 22 before the user enters the foot bath mode, and the foot bath 22 may be sterilized by the high temperature steam.

In order to reduce the complexity of the water circuit system, a second direction changing valve 42 is arranged between the water tank 21 and the first water pump 23, the second direction changing valve 42 has an inlet and two outlets, the inlet of the second direction changing valve 42 is connected with the water tank 21, one outlet of the second direction changing valve 42 is communicated with the first water pump 23, and the other outlet of the second direction changing valve 42 is connected with a third water pump 271.

In a further optional example, the foot bath tub 100 further includes: and the hot air module 50, the hot air module 50 is arranged on the machine base 10, thereby conveying hot air outwards. In this way, after the user finishes soaking the feet, the feet can be placed at the air outlet of the hot air module 50, and the feet can be dried by hot air. The hot air module 50 may include a resistance wire 51 and a fan 52, and hot air is blown out by the fan 52 after the resistance wire 51 generates heat. In addition, the hot air module 50 may further include a hot air temperature controller 53, and the hot air temperature is controlled by the hot air temperature controller 53, so as to prevent the user from being scalded due to overhigh hot air temperature. It is understood that the hot air may be directly supplied to the footbath 22 or may be externally supplied.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1-2 and fig. 3-4, the water path system at least includes a water tank 21, a first water pump 23, a first heating element 31, a foot soaking basin 22 and a second water pump 24, which are connected in sequence, wherein an inlet of the second water pump 24 is connected to the foot soaking basin 22, and an outlet of the second water pump 24 is connected to the water tank 21. The first water pump 23 has a pumping function and does not have a shut-off function, and the first water pump 23 is a vane pump, for example. The second water pump 24 has both pumping and cut-off functions, and the second water pump 24 may be a diaphragm pump, for example.

Further, the waterway system further comprises: a circulation pipe 26. The water inlet of the circulation pipe 26 is connected between the first heating element 31 and the footbath 22, the water outlet of the circulation pipe 26 is connected between the water tank 21 and the footbath 22, and the water tank 21, the first water pump 23, the first heating element 31 and the circulation pipe 26 are connected in sequence to form a closed second water path.

Further, the waterway system further comprises: the steam flow path 27, the steam flow path 27 is provided with a third water pump 271, a second heating element 272 and a steam introducing device 273 in this order, wherein the inlet of the steam flow path 27 is connected to the water tank 21, and the outlet of the steam flow path 27 is communicated with the footbath 22.

It will be appreciated that as the water in the foot basin 22 drains, the water in the line will also be drained.

The "mixed foot bath mode" refers to a process in which water flows between the water tank 21 and the foot bath 22 in the initial stage of foot bath and does not flow between the water tank 21 and the foot bath 22 in the later stage of foot bath.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4, when the hybrid foot bath mode is started, the first water pump 23 is turned on and the second water pump 24 is turned off during a period T1, and water in the water tank 21 is driven by the first water pump 23 to enter the first heating element 31 for heating and is delivered to the foot bath 22. That is, during the period T1, the water is pumped into the foot bath 22 by the first water pump 23, and the second water pump 24 stops the water in the foot bath 22 from flowing back into the water tank 21.

When the period T2 is entered, the first water pump 23 and the second water pump 24 are simultaneously turned on, and the water flow is driven to circulate between the water tank 21 and the footbath 22 by the second water pump 24. In the time period, the water flow which circularly flows can softly press the feet of the user, so that the comfort of the user is improved.

After the hybrid foot bath mode is finished, the drain mode is activated, the first water pump 23 is turned off, and the water in the foot bath 22 is discharged to the water tank 21 through the second water pump 24. It will be appreciated that as the water in the foot basin 22 drains, the water in the line will also be drained.

Further, the foot bath bucket 100 may initiate a pre-heating mode before initiating a single foot bath mode or a hybrid foot bath mode. The water in the water tank 21 is preheated for a period of time by the first heating element 31 and then delivered to the footbath 22. As shown in fig. 1, in the preheating mode, water flows in a second water path formed by the water tank 21, the first water pump 23, the first heating element 31 and the circulation pipe 26 in a circulating manner, and water in the water tank 21 can be heated by the first heating element 31 for a plurality of times until a preset water temperature is reached, so that when the foot soaking mode is entered, the water inflow per unit time of the first water pump 23 can be set to be maximum without considering the relationship between the heating capacity of the first heating element 31 and the water pumping amount per unit time of the first water pump 23, thereby rapidly injecting foot soaking water into the foot soaking basin 22 to meet the foot soaking demand of a user.

Further, before the preheating mode, the water tank 21 and the steam flow path 27 may be conducted, that is, a part of water in the water tank 21 is introduced into the steam flow path 27 by the third water pump 271 and heated by the second heating element 272 to form steam, and the steam flow path 27 communicates with the foot bath tub 100, so that the steam may be input to the foot bath tub 100 through the steam flow path 27 to perform high-temperature sterilization of the foot bath tub 100 using the steam. The steam flow path 27 is further provided with a steam introducing device 273, and the steam introducing device 273 can cool the steam and introduce the steam into the footbath 100. The vapor introducing device 273 may be the fan 52. Preferably, the steam flow path 27 is further provided with an outlet temperature sensor 274, the outlet temperature sensor 274 can detect the temperature of the steam in the steam flow path 27, and when the temperature of the steam exceeds a preset temperature, the outlet of the steam flow path 27 is closed.

Further, after the foot bath mode is finished, the hot air drying mode is started, and hot air is supplied to the outside through the hot air module 50. Namely, after the feet are soaked, the feet can be dried by the hot air drying module. The heated air may be delivered to the foot bath 22 after the water in the foot bath 22 is drained. The hot air can also be directly supplied to the outside, and the user can air-dry the feet close to the air supply outlet.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5 in combination with fig. 6 and 7, the housing 10 defines a receiving cavity, and the footbath 22 is movably disposed in the receiving cavity. In fig. 6, the footbath 22 is in an extended state, and in fig. 7, the footbath 22 is in a folded state. That is, the height of the foot bath 22 may be adjusted, for example, the height of the foot bath 22 may be adjusted to be lower when a child uses the foot bath 100, and the height of the foot bath 22 may be adjusted to be higher when an adult uses the foot bath 100. Therefore, the height of the foot soaking basin 22 is designed to be adjustable, and the requirements of different crowds can be met.

In addition, after the foot bath is finished, the height of the foot bath 22 can be adjusted to be the lowest, for example, the foot bath 22 is almost embedded in the machine base 10, at this time, the top of the foot bath 22 is slightly higher than the top of the machine base 10, and the total height of the foot bath tub 100 is the lowest, so that the foot bath tub is convenient to store.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 5 in combination with fig. 8, the footbath 22 includes a barrel body 221, the barrel body 221 defines a left placement cavity 2211 and a right placement cavity 2212, an avoidance space 2213 is defined between the left placement cavity 2211 and the right placement cavity 2212, and the water tank 21 extends into the avoidance space 2213. That is, the foot soaking basin 22 is divided into two independent chambers, and the foot soaking water flowing out of the water tank 21 can be respectively sent into the left placing cavity 2211 and the right placing cavity 2212, and the foot soaking water flowing out of the left placing cavity 2211 and the right placing cavity 2212 is converged and then sent back to the water tank 21.

Further optionally, as shown in fig. 9, the footbath 22 further includes a cover 222, the cover 222 covers the tub 221, the cover 222 defines a first through hole 2221 and a second through hole 2222, the first through hole 2221 is communicated with the left placement cavity 2211, a plurality of water outlet holes are formed in the wall surface of the first through hole 2221, the second through hole 2222 is communicated with the right placement cavity 2212, and a plurality of water outlet holes are formed in the wall surface of the second through hole 2222.
