Hydrotherapy device and bidet toilet seat comprising the same

Abstract

A hydrotherapy device comprising a primary unit, a conduit, and a control panel electrically connected to the primary conduit for controlling the treatment of water. The primary unit includes a filter unit, a heater for heating the water, and a pressure regulator for pressurizing the water. The conduit directs water that is pre-treated by the primary unit out for use in hydrotherapy. The invention connects to an existing water supply system and pre-treats the water for use in hydrotherapy to be of higher quality and more purified so as to ensure the usage safety and reduce the chance of the user feeling discomforts or getting infections.

         6 . The hydrotherapy device as described in  claim 1 , wherein the predetermined pressure value is between 1 and 5 gf/cm 2 .  
     
     
         7 . The hydrotherapy device as described in  claim 1 , wherein the primary unit further comprises a disinfector for disinfecting the water.  
     
     
         8 . The hydrotherapy device as described in  claim 7 , wherein the disinfector is disposed downstream of the pressure regulator.  
     
     
         9 . The hydrotherapy device as described in  claim 1 , wherein the conduit comprises a deformable section relatively distal to the other end of the conduit and a non-deformable section relatively proximal to the other end of the conduit, the deformable section having an accordion structure which extends or shortens so as to change a total length of the conduit and, the non-deformable section having a plurality of water outlets separately formed therein.  
     
     
         10 . The hydrotherapy device as described in  claim 2 , wherein the primary unit further comprises a casing for encasing the heater, and a filling opening formed correspondingly above the heater and in communication with the inside of the heater.  
     
     
         11 . A bidet toilet seat, which is installed on a toilet bowl, comprising: a seat disposed on the toilet bowl; and a hydrotherapy device assembled with the seat to form a bidet toilet seat component, the bidet toilet seat component comprising: 
 a primary unit connected to a water source for a flow of water to enter the primary unit, comprising: a filter unit for filtering the water; a heater for heating the water to a predetermined temperature; and a pressure regulator for pressurizing the water to a predetermined pressure value;    a conduit, one end of which being in communication with the primary unit and the other end of which directing the water treated by the primary unit out of the conduit for use in hydrotherapy; and    a control panel electrically connected to the primary unit for controlling the processing of the water in the primary unit.    
     
     
         12 . The bidet toilet seat as described in  claim 11 , wherein the filter unit comprises at least one filtering chamber, at least one activated carbon treatment chamber, at least one reverse osmosis chamber, or a combination thereof, the at least one chamber being in series and in communication with one another.  
     
     
         13 . The bidet toilet seat as described in  claim 11 , wherein the predetermined temperature is between 30° C. and 35° C.  
     
     
         14 . The bidet toilet seat as described in  claim 11 , wherein the pressure regulator is disposed downstream of the heater.  
     
     
         15 . The bidet toilet seat as described in  claim 11 , wherein the predetermined pressure value is between 1 and 5 gf/cm 2 .  
     
     
         16 . The bidet toilet seat as described in  claim 11 , wherein the primary unit further comprises a disinfector for disinfecting the water.  
     
     
         17 . The bidet toilet seat as described in  claim 16 , wherein the disinfector is disposed downstream of the pressure regulator.  
     
     
         18 . The bidet toilet seat as described in  claim 11 , wherein the conduit comprises a deformable section relatively distal to the other end of the conduit and a non-deformable section relatively proximal to the other end of the tube, the deformable section having an accordion structure which extends or shortens so as to change a total length of the conduit and the non-deformable section having a plurality of separated water outlets formed therein.
