Description

Anti-pollution hip bath device through self-balancing pressure
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of medical and health supplies, in particular to a sitting bath device capable of preventing pollution by self-balancing pressure.
Background
The hip bath device is generally in a basin shape, namely, a bidet, is widely popularized and used as a washing, sterilizing and hydrotherapy tool for buttocks, anorectum, pudendum and the like in the prior home or hospital.
The cavity of the prior hip bath device (CN 205072752U) is internally provided with a steam generator, a steam outlet of the steam generator is connected to a first check valve joint of a fumigation hole through a first communicating pipe provided with a check valve, when the novel hip bath device is used, steam formed at high temperature can enter a basin body along the first communicating pipe through the first check valve joint of the fumigation hole, clear water or liquid medicine in the basin body is gradually heated and kept at the temperature, thereby realizing hot bath, and being beneficial to cleaning the affected part of a user and permeation of medicine.
However, when the steam generator heats, the internal pressure is high, steam is discharged, and when the temperature is cooled to room temperature, the volume of the gas in the steam generator is contracted to become negative pressure, and the risk that sewage after cleaning in the basin body flows back to the steam generator along the check valve and the communicating pipe exists, especially the current check valve cannot ensure that 100% of the sewage does not leak, and the allowable leakage amount is 5%. When sewage flows back to the steam generator, the cleaning liquid in the steam generator is polluted, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed into the basin body when being used next time, so that pathogens carried by the previous user can be transmitted to the next user.
