DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0035] The following is a detailed description of the specific implementation of the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementations described here are intended to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, not to limit it.
[0036] It should be understood that in the present disclosure, unless stated otherwise, directional terms such as up, down, and the like indicate positional or directional relationships based on the orientation of the drawings. These terms are used for the convenience of description and simplification, not to imply or suggest that the devices or components must have specific orientations or particular configurations and operations. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations of the present disclosure. Terms such as inside and outside may refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding structure. Additionally, terms like first, second, etc., are used to distinguish one element from another and do not indicate a sequence or importance. Moreover, in reference to the accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings represent the same elements.
[0037] Further, unless explicitly specified and defined otherwise, terms like set, connect, linked, and installed should be broadly understood. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may be direct or indirect connections via intermediary media. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in the context of the present disclosure.
[0038] Research has found that conventional shampoo apparatuss require adjusting the user's head position to align it precisely with the intersection of the pipe water flow, to accommodate different body sizes. However, for users, adjusting their own position to align with the water flow is uncomfortable. While the head position might be suitable, it could result in an uncomfortable lying posture, making it inconvenient for the user to adapt to the water flow.
[0039] In view of this, as shown in
[0040] It should be noted that since a plurality of liquid columns are formed by the first liquid emitted from the multiple liquid spray nozzles 32, and since the multiple liquid spray nozzles 32 all face the headrest 20, the gathering zone of the liquid columns will form in areas near the headrest 20 where the liquid columns converge. During washing therapy process, the position of the gathering zone can be adjusted based on the user's position to accommodate different users, thereby improving comfort while facilitating the washing therapy process.
[0041] Furthermore, when multiple positions need to be washed, the liquid spraying tube 30 can be rotated continuously, changing the position of the emitted first liquid, thereby achieving uniform rinsing of the treatment area. For example, when the first liquid used for shampoo or head therapy is a medicinal solution, rotating the liquid spraying tube 30 can sweep the solution back and forth across the head, ensuring the medicinal solution is evenly sprayed on an upper of the head, thus minimizing any dead spots that may not receive the solution during therapy. Additionally, this improves the uniformity of the treatment. The first liquid is not limited to a medicinal solution but can also be water or any other suitable liquid.
[0042] By adjusting the position of the multiple liquid spray nozzles 32 to change the gathering zone of the flow of the first liquid, the shampoo apparatus can adaptively match different users based on their age or head size, thus improving compatibility and comfort. Unlike prior art that requires adjusting a height of the pillow or adding a towel, this embodiment achieves optimal fit and cleaning effect without additional aids. Additionally, the spray ports can target specific acupoints on the head, combining cleaning and massage functions to further enhance the user experience.
[0043] The first pressurizing component 53 is configured to provide power to the first liquid, ensuring it has sufficient force to spray from the multiple liquid spray nozzles 32 onto the headrest 20, thus ensuring effective rinsing.
[0044] Furthermore, the base 10 can be standalone, such as supported by a supporting frame 80, or directly integrated into a wash basin, with no limitation on the location of the base 10. The headrest 20 is used to support the part of the user that requires washing or therapy (e.g., the head), ensuring comfort during use. For example, when washing the hair, the user can place their head on the headrest 20, providing support to the head.
[0045] Through the above technical solution, the liquid spraying tube 30 with multiple liquid spray nozzles 32 is rotatably connected to the base 10, allowing adjustment of the liquid spraying tube's position and thus enabling the gathering zone's location to be changed after the first liquid is emitted. The liquid spraying tube 30 can be adjusted to the optimal position based on the user's position, making it more convenient for the user without requiring them to move. This greatly improves comfort, enhances the adaptability of the shampoo apparatus 100, simplifies the coordination between the shampoo apparatus 100 and the user, and ensures the effectiveness of the washing and therapy.
[0046] To make it easier for the first liquid sprayed from the liquid spraying tube 30 to gather, the liquid spraying tube 30 can be designed with a V-shape or U-shape, or other enclosing structures. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the liquid spraying tube 30 can be designed as a U-shaped tube, with the multiple liquid spray nozzles 32 arranged along an inner curvature of the U-shaped tube. This design is more ergonomic, particularly for head therapy. The U-shape adapts to the shape of the head, and through reasonable design of the U-shaped tube's dimensions, the force of the emitted first liquid to the head can be kept consistent, thereby improving the user experience.
[0047] Optionally, the shampoo apparatus 100 can also include a rotating component 40. The rotating component 40 includes at least two hinge parts 46, which respectively connect the liquid spraying tube 30 and the base 10. The at least two hinge parts 46 allow relative rotation between them. A hinge part 46 refers to two components that can rotate relative to each other, forming a rotating component 40. For example, the hinge part 46 can be ball joint, bearing connection, hinge connection, or other suitable structures. Alternatively, as described later, the rotating component can include a first rotating shaft 41 and a first shaft sleeve 42, as well as a second rotating shaft 43 and a second shaft sleeve 44.
[0048] In the present disclosure, as shown in
[0049] The first shaft sleeve 42 and the first rotating shaft 41 allows the liquid spraying tube 30 to rotate and adjust the position of the gathering zone. Specifically, the liquid spraying tube 30 can be fixedly connected to the first shaft sleeve 42, and the first shaft sleeve 42 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 41, with a stop function between them. In this way, when the first rotating shaft 41 is fixed, the first shaft sleeve 42 can rotate around the first rotating shaft 41 to the appropriate position, while driving the liquid spraying tube 30 to rotate to a correct position. Since there is a stop function between the first rotating shaft 41 and the first shaft sleeve 42, the first shaft sleeve 42 can be relatively stationary when it reaches the appropriate position, and thus the position of the liquid spraying tube 30 is also fixed. This completes the adjustment of the position of the liquid spraying tube 30, and consequently, the adjustment of the gathering zone.
[0050] The rotating component 40 consists of two parts and is located on both sides of the headrest 20. Thus, when the liquid spraying tube 30 rotates around the axis of the first rotating shaft 41, it effectively rotates around the headrest 20, allowing the first liquid to be sprayed from the liquid spraying tube 30 onto the headrest.
[0051] Here, the stop function between the first rotating shaft 41 and the first shaft sleeve 42 can be achieved by setting an appropriate friction force at their connection position or by incorporating a self-locking mechanism between them. This disclosure is not limited to these methods, as long as they allow relative rotation and relative stillness between the first rotating shaft 41 and the first shaft sleeve 42.
[0052] In this embodiment, the rotating component 40 can also include a second rotating shaft 43 and a second shaft sleeve 44 that can rotate relative to each other. The first rotating shaft 41 is connected to the second rotating shaft 43 via the second shaft sleeve 44, and the second rotating shaft 43 is connected to the base 10. The first rotating shaft 41 rotates along an axis of the second rotating shaft 43 to adjust a position of the first rotating shaft 41.
[0053] The first rotating shaft 41 can be fixedly connected to the second shaft sleeve 44, and the second shaft sleeve 44 can rotate relative to the second rotating shaft 43, with a stop function between them. In this way, when the second rotating shaft 43 is fixed, the second shaft sleeve 44 can rotate around the second rotating shaft 43 to the correct position while also driving the first rotating shaft 41 to the correct position. Since there is a stop function between the second rotating shaft 43 and the second shaft sleeve 44, the second shaft sleeve 44 can be relatively stationary when it reaches the correct position. Since the rotation axis of the liquid spraying tube 30 is the same as the axis of the first rotating shaft 41, changing the position of the first rotating shaft 41 will simultaneously change the position of the liquid spraying tube 30, thus expanding the adjustable range of the liquid spraying tube 30 and improving adaptability.
[0054] It can be understood that, just like the first shaft sleeve 42 and the first rotating shaft 41, the second shaft sleeve 44 and the second rotating shaft 43 can also rotate relative to each other and remain stationary relative to each other. Therefore, when the second shaft sleeve 44 reaches the correct position, it can remain stationary relative to the second rotating shaft 43, and thus the position of the first rotating shaft 41 is also fixed, completing the adjustment of the first rotating shaft 41's position and, in turn, the adjustment of the liquid spraying tube 30's position. Similarly, this disclosure is not limited to a specific way of connecting the second rotating shaft 43 and the second shaft sleeve 44, as long as they allow relative rotation and relative stillness.
[0055] To increase the range of adjustment for the first rotating shaft 41, the rotating component 40 can also include a connecting rod 45, which connects the second shaft sleeve 44 to the first rotating shaft 41. This arrangement increases the distance between the second shaft sleeve 44 and the first rotating shaft 41, thus expanding the position range in which the first rotating shaft 41 can be adjusted, optimizing the adaptability of the shampoo apparatus 100.
[0056] It should be noted that, as described below, the circulating pipeline 50 is connected to the liquid spraying tube 30. The circulating pipeline 50 may connect to a port of the liquid spraying tube 30, with the liquid spraying tube 30 adding a supporting rod connected to the rotating component 40. Alternatively, as shown in
[0057] Optionally, the headrest 20 can be connected to the base 10 via an adjustment component 21, which is used to adjust a position of the headrest 20. This arrangement allows for better adaptation to different users, ensuring comfort during use.
[0058] The adjustment component 21 may include a rotating structure and/or a telescoping structure, with one end of the adjustment component 21 connected to the base 10 and another end connected to the headrest 20. When the position of the headrest 20 needs adjustment, the adjustment component 21 can be rotated or extended.
[0059] Additionally, as shown in
[0060] In this disclosure, as shown in
[0061] In this embodiment, the first switch 112 can be a piston, a valve, or any component capable of opening or closing, and this embodiment is not limited to any particular type. The first switch 112 can be opened to allow the circulating pipeline 50 to communicate when the first liquid needs to be recycled, and it can be closed during the use of the second liquid to prevent the second liquid from entering the circulating pipeline 50.
[0062] As shown in
[0063] It is understandable that the first filter 51 here can be easily removed and installed, making it convenient to replace or clean the first filter 51. Additionally, the first heater 52 is connected to the circulation pipe 50, and the first heater 52 does not come into direct contact with the first liquid, thus avoiding safety hazards related to the first heater 52's contact with the first liquid.
[0064] As shown in
[0065] The water tank 61 is used to store the second liquid, which could be water or other cleaning liquids.
[0066] In the present embodiment, a second heater 64 can be set on the outlet pipe 62, and the second pressurizing assembly 65 includes a second pump 651. By setting the second heater 64 on the outlet pipe 62 instead of inside the water tank 61, it avoids direct contact with the second liquid, thus preventing safety hazards related to the second heater 64's contact with the second liquid.
[0067] Optionally, the shampoo apparatus 100 can also include an inlet pipe 66. The base 10 is provided with a water inlet 12, and the inlet pipe 66 connects the water inlet 12 to the water tank 61. By setting the water inlet 12 on the base 10, there is no need to open the water tank 61 to refill the second liquid promptly, improving the convenience of use.
[0068] The water inlet 12 is positioned higher than the liquid collecting pool 11 and the water tank 61 on the base 10, so that when the second liquid is refilled, no pump is required, and it ensures that the second liquid will not be contaminated by the first liquid, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the second liquid. Additionally, the water inlet 12 is arranged near the water tank 61 to shorten the length of the inlet pipe 66, saving space.
[0069] To facilitate the removal, cleaning, or replacement of the water tank 61, the water tank 61 can be detachably connected to the base 10.
[0070] In the present embodiment, the shampoo apparatus 100 can also include a sewage tank 71 and a sewage pipe 72. The base 10 includes a liquid collecting pool 11, which has a drainage hole 13 at the bottom for passing the second liquid through. The sewage pipe 72 connects the drainage hole 13 to the sewage tank 71, and the drainage hole 13 is equipped with a second switch 14, which is used to open or close the drainage hole 13. The drainage hole 13 serves to discharge used first or second liquids, while the sewage tank 71 is used to hold the discharged liquids, ensuring that the used liquids are collected promptly.
[0071] The second switch 14 could be a piston, valve, or any other component capable of opening or closing, and this embodiment does not limit the type. The second switch 14 is used to discharge the used second liquid when needed, and closed to prevent leakage of the first liquid when the first liquid is being recycled. When the first liquid is no longer in use, the second switch 14 can be opened to discharge the used first liquid.
[0072] As shown in
[0073] Optionally, the sewage tank 71 can be drained using a drainage pipe or removed for treatment. In this disclosure, the sewage tank 71 can be detachably connected to the base 10, and it also includes a handle 713 located on the sidewall 714 of the water tank body 711. The bottom of the water tank body 711 is equipped with a second rolling wheel 73 and a supporting plate 74. The supporting plate 74 is positioned on the side near the handle 713, and the second rolling wheel 73 is placed on the side far from the handle 713. By positioning the second rolling wheel 73 on the opposite side of the handle 713, it makes it easier for the user to apply force when dragging the sewage tank 71. Moreover, the supporting plate 74 has a certain height to ensure that the sewage tank 71 does not tilt when there is no second rolling wheel 73 on one side. After removing the sewage tank 71, the supporting plate 74 lifts off the ground, allowing the user to grip the handle 713 and drag the sewage tank 71 for cleaning.
[0074] The sewage tank 71 and base 10 can be designed for a plug connection to facilitate installation and removal.
[0075] To facilitate the installation and movement of the base 10, a supporting frame 80 can be provided at the bottom of the base 10 to support it. The supporting frame 80 has several first rolling wheels 81 at its bottom, making it easier to move the base 10 when needed.
[0076] The first rolling wheels 81 can be swivel wheels, which are suitable for most scenarios, including narrow passages.
[0077] In this disclosure, the supporting frame 80 can include connected side plates 82, front plate 83, and rear plate 84. The side plates may included a right side plate and a left plate. The shampoo apparatus 100 includes a water tank 61 and a sewage tank 71. The water tank 61 is connected to the base 10 through either the front plate 83 or the rear plate 84, and the sewage tank 71 is connected to the base 10 through the other frame. The water tank 61 and sewage tank 71 are connected to the front or rear, respectively, to avoid any potential leakage between the two and minimize their mutual influence.
[0078] Moreover, since the sewage tank 71 needs to be cleaned frequently, it can be placed on the side far from the headrest 20. This way, when the base 10 is combined with other devices, such as when the base 10 is used with a bed, the sewage tank 71 can be conveniently removed without obstruction by the user or other devices.
[0079] Optionally, as shown in
[0080] The power supply assembly 90 can include components such as a battery, wires, and a controller.

However, the disclosure is not limited to the specific details of these embodiments. Various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions within the scope of the disclosure, and these modifications are considered to fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.
[0084] Additionally, it should be noted that the specific technical features described in the embodiments above can be combined in any suitable manner, as long as they do not contradict each other.
