HOT TUB WALL JET NOZZLE

Abstract

A hot tub wall jet nozzle includes a nozzle body and a nozzle core seat. Water flows from the water inlet into the water flow channel in the nozzle body. Air enters through the air inlet of the nozzle body and reaches the first air accommodating cavity, then flows from the first air accommodating cavity to the second air accommodating cavity, and the air from the second air accommodating cavity is then mixed with the water in the nozzle core seat at the water outlet under the Venturi effect, and the mixed water and air flow is finally discharged through the water outlet. This structural arrangement allows for reduced dilution and loss of air bubbles during water flow transmission. The Venturi effect produced in this nozzle is capable of generating a greater volume of air ejection, thus enhancing the strength and effectiveness of the massage.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of hot tubs, in particular to a hot tub wall jet nozzle.

BACKGROUND

In modern society, with the increasing pursuit of quality of life, leisure and relaxation have become more and more important. As a way to enjoy comfort and health, hot tub massage has received widespread attention and love. Hot tub massage can relieve physical fatigue, promote blood circulation and improve psychological comfort, thus achieving the effect of stress relief and health promotion.

The hot tub has a hot tub back wall allowing the user to lean on, which is usually equipped with hot tub wall jet nozzles. However, although the traditional hot tub wall jet nozzle has certain advantages in providing comfortable bubble massage experience, its design limitations are gradually emerging. The hot tub wall jet nozzle includes a nozzle core seat with a water inlet and an air inlet. The distance between the water inlet and the air inlet of the traditional hot tub wall jet nozzle is relatively short, which may lead to a relatively long air injection path after the water enters the nozzle. This may cause the air bubbles to be easily diluted in the process of water flow transmission, and some air bubbles may merge or disappear on the way, thus reducing the density and quality of the air bubbles. Due to the poor stability of air bubbles, in use, the traditional back wall nozzle may have the issues of intermittent air bubbles and producing a mere trickle of water, which may affect the consistency and comfort of massage effect. Users may feel that the massage is weak at some body areas, or the users are even unable to feel the stimulation of air bubble massage and, as a result, uniform massage effect throughout the body cannot be achieved. This further reduces the overall quality of the massage experience.

Therefore, the design limitations in the traditional hot tub wall jet nozzles limit the effect and stability of bubble massage, which is also a problem that people have been trying to solve in the nozzle field.

SUMMARY

The present invention is directed to a hot tub wall jet nozzle, which solves some limitations existing in the traditional design to provide a better and more stable hot tub massage experience.

A hot tub wall jet nozzle is provided, which includes a nozzle body and a nozzle core seat. The nozzle body is provided with a water inlet and an air inlet, and an end of the nozzle body is opened, into which the nozzle core seat is inserted. The nozzle core seat includes a core seat body and a nozzle cover arranged at an end of the core seat body. The core seat body is provided with a water flow channel communicating with two ends of the core seat body. An end of the water flow channel is connected with the water inlet, and the other end of the water flow channel is hermetically connected with the nozzle cover, and the nozzle cover is provided with a water outlet. A first air accommodating cavity is formed between the nozzle body and the nozzle core seat, a second air accommodating cavity is formed between the core seat body and the nozzle cover, and the first air accommodating cavity and the second air accommodating cavity are communicated through a core seat air hole arranged at a side of the core seat body close to the nozzle cover.

Similarly, the second fastening structure can also be in the form of screws, rivets, elastic fasteners or the like, which will not be described herein.

In some embodiments, the nozzle body and the nozzle cover are provided with a third fastening structure for fastening the nozzle body and the nozzle cover. Specifically, the third fastening structure includes a plurality of screw holes and a plurality of screws arranged on the nozzle body. The screws pass through screw openings arranged on the nozzle cover and are screwed into the screw holes arranged on the nozzle body, thereby realizing the tight connection between the nozzle body and the nozzle cover, such that the nozzle core seat can be securely arranged in the nozzle body. The detachable connection method as described above also facilitates the maintenance of the nozzle core seat. It should be noted that the third fastening structure can also be in the form of snap-fits, rivets, elastic fasteners or the like, which will not be described in detail here.

Compared with the traditional design, the present invention provides a hot tub wall jet nozzle, which includes a nozzle body and a nozzle core seat. When the hot tub wall jet nozzle is used, water enters from the water inlet, and then flows into the water flow channel in the nozzle body. At the same time, air enters through the air inlet of the nozzle body and reaches the first air accommodating cavity, the air then flows from the first air accommodating cavity to the second air accommodating cavity through the core seat air hole, and then the air from the second air accommodating cavity is mixed with the water in the nozzle core seat at the water outlet under the Venturi effect, and the mixed water and air flow is finally discharged through the water outlet, thus realizing the water spraying in a manner in which the water and the air are first separately introduced into the hot tub wall jet nozzle, and subsequently the air is sucked to mix with the water under the Venturi effect. This structural arrangement allows for reduced dilution and loss of air bubbles during water flow transmission, such that dense air bubbles can be created in the water flow, which are guided by the water outlet and released along a specific area of the hot tub. The Venturi effect produced in this nozzle is capable of generating a greater volume of air ejection, thus enhancing the strength and effectiveness of the massage, which makes the massage more powerful and stimulating to better relieve muscle fatigue and stress, providing a richer and denser bubble massage experience. Therefore, the massage effect of the hot tub wall jet nozzle is comprehensively improved. By strengthening the massage effect, providing a full-body massage, and improving the stability and durability, the hot tub wall jet nozzle can provide the users with a better massage experience and better comfort and relaxation.
