    Detailed Description of Embodiments
  • The implementation and application of the embodiments will be discussed in detail below. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments discussed are merely illustrative of particular ways of the implementation and application of the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the scope of the claims as appended. In the description, the expressions of the structural positions of components, e.g., upper, lower, top, bottom, etc., are not absolute but relative. When the components are arranged as shown in the figures, these directional expressions are appropriate, but when the positions of the components in the figures change, these directional expressions also change accordingly.
  • The expression "inner" herein refers to a direction toward a water holding chamber or water placement zone or water receptacle defined by a pool wall and a pool bottom, and "outer" refers to a direction toward the exterior of the whole pool. The term of "air" refers to air flow, etc., that can be introduced from the outside atmosphere or by an apparatus, and "fluid" refers to liquid flow, such as water flow.
  • The expressions "first", "second", etc. herein are not used to limit the order and number of assemblies, unless otherwise stated.
  • The expression "a plurality of herein means two or more, unless specifically defined otherwise.
  • In the description of the embodiments, it should also be noted that the terms "arrange", "connected", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited. For example, the connection can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; or can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; and can be directly connected, or indirectly connected by means of an intermediate medium, or communication between interiors of two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meaning of the terms mentioned above in the embodiments should be understood in specific cases.
  • It should be appreciated that the existing massage pool has a control box disposed outside a pool body, and thus occupies a large space, is inconvenient for a user to store and use, and is inconvenient for the user to operate massage and other functions during use.
  • The present invention being described in the present disclosure is based on a new concept that the control box is integrated within the pool body. Based on this concept, an inflatable massage pool having an integrally disposed control box is proposed, in which a chamber is formed in a pool wall of a pool body to accommodate the control box, so that the product has reduced overall occupied space and improved appearance, and provides convenient control and operation for a user.
  • An embodiment of an inflatable massage pool 1 is shown in conjunction with FIGS. 1 and 2. The inflatable massage pool 1 comprises a pool body 2, the pool body 2 comprising a water holding chamber or water placement zone or water receptacle 5 defined by a pool wall 2000 and a pool bottom 203. The pool wall 2000 is formed by a top wall 202, an outer wall 201 and an inner wall 200 which are disposed in an enclosing manner, and forms an air chamber (inflatable chamber) with the pool bottom 230. Although the pool wall 2000 is circular in shape when viewed from above, it is not limited to this, and may have other shapes such as a square, triangle, or ellipse. A plurality of tensioning members 6 (FIG. 3) may be provided in the air chamber to provide support and structural strength.
  • Specifically, a top portion of the outer wall 201 and a top portion of the inner wall 200 are welded to the top wall 202, and a bottom portion of the outer wall 201 and a bottom portion of the inner wall 200 are welded to the pool bottom 203 to form the air chamber inside the pool wall 2000. The plurality of tensioning members 6 may be arranged at fixed or variable intervals within the air chamber of the pool wall 2000. The opposite ends of each tensioning member 6 are welded to the outer wall 201 and the inner wall 200, respectively. In the illustrated example, each tensioning member 6 extends in a radial direction of the pool wall 2000.
  • In addition, the pool bottom 203 is provided with an air passage 151 to provide a massage function with bubbles. Additionally or alternatively, such an air passage may be provided in the inner wall 200 of the pool wall 2000. The control box 4 is arranged in an accommodating chamber or cavity 3 provided in the pool wall 2000. The accommodating cavity 3 is isolated from the air chamber in a sealed manner. The control box 4 may be configured to control at least the massage function of the inflatable massage pool 1. The control box 4 may be configured to circulate water in the water receptacle 5 and/or supply air into the water receptacle 5, for example, by controlling fluid to enter or exit the water receptacle 5 and/or controlling air to enter the air passage 151. The control box 4 may further be configured to inflate the pool by controlling air to enter the air chamber.
  • In some embodiments, the accommodating cavity 3 may be separated from the air chamber by a chamber wall or accommodating wall 340 (FIG.3). The accommodating wall 340 separates the accommodating cavity 3 from the air chamber. Preferably, the accommodating wall 340 extends between the outer wall 201 and the inner wall 200 and is connected to both the outer wall 201 and the inner wall 200. The accommodating wall 340 may be made of a weldable material such as a PVC material or a PVC composite material, and is connected to the pool body by welding to form an integrated structure. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 4C, in some embodiments, the accommodating wall 340 comprises a chamber surrounding wall or side wall 305 so shaped as to surround the control box 4. The side wall 305 may be formed by a single sheet disposed in an enclosing manner. FIG. 4B shows the side wall 305 in a deployed state, for example, a sheet of a rectangular PVC material or a PVC composite material, with two short sides of the rectangular sheet being connected to each other in an enclosing manner to form the side wall 305. Preferably, the side wall 305 is connected to both the outer wall 201 and the inner wall 200 of the pool body 2000, respectively, along an outer wall welding line 321 and an inner wall welding line 322. In addition, a low portion of the side wall 305 is provided with a bottom wall welding line 324 to be connected to the pool bottom 203 in a sealing manner so as to form a first hole or opening 306 through which the control box 4 can be put into the accommodating cavity 3. The pool bottom 203 may comprise a second hole or opening 205 as an access opening, corresponding to the first opening 306, as shown in FIG. 3. Additionally or alternatively, such an access opening may be arranged in the outer wall 201 so as to correspond to a front hole or opening 307 formed in the side wall 305.
  • In some embodiments, parts of the side wall 305 may be cut along the outer wall welding line 321 and the inner wall welding line 322 so as to form the third opening 307 and a fourth opening (back hole) 308 in the side wall 305. In this way, the side wall 305 may be connected to the outer wall 201 of the pool wall 2000 via the outer wall welding line 321 and to the inner wall 200 of the pool wall 2000 via the inner wall welding line 322.
  • In some embodiments, a top opening 326 of the side wall 305 may be connected to the top wall 202 of the pool body 2000 along the upper wall welding line 323 so as to close the opening 326. Alternatively, the accommodating wall 340 may include an upper wall 302 facing the top wall 202 of the pool wall 2000. More specifically, the opening 326 can be connected to the chamber upper wall (cavity upper wall) 302 along the upper wall welding line 323, and the chamber upper wall 302 is made of a weldable material such as a PVC material or a PVC composite material and is correspondingly provided with a side wall welding line 3022. In this way, the upper wall 302 and the side wall 305 together define the accommodating cavity 3, and the control box 4 is adapted to enter the accommodating cavity 3 through the second opening 205 in the pool bottom 203 of the pool body and is then integrated with the pool body. The accommodating wall 340 having upper wall 302 is preferable, because the height of the accommodating cavity 3 can be tailored to the height of the control box 4. This is particularly advantageous when the pool wall 2000 has a height much higher than that of the control box 4, because the side wall 305 is not necessary to extend to reach the top wall 202 of the pool wall 2000.
  • As can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4B, the side wall 305 may include an air supply port 325. In this case, the control box 4 includes a first air supply end (inner inflation hole) 407 (FIG. 6) to be in communication with the air chamber of the pool body via the air supply port 325 and an air supply pipe 350 (FIG. 3) connected to the first air supply end 407.
  • In some embodiments, the control box 4 may include a control panel 404 (FIG. 6). Preferably, the control panel 404 is foldable with respect to the main body of the control box 4. The control panel 404 is so configured for users as to operate at least some of the functions of the inflatable massage pool, such as water filling function or massage function during use. Preferably, the pool body has an opening through which the control panel 404 extends out of the pool wall 2000. In the illustrated embodiment, the outer wall 201 is provided with a fifth opening (panel hole) 206 (FIG. 3), and the control panel 404 passes through the third opening 307 in the side wall 305 and the fifth opening 206 in the outer wall 201 and then extends out of the pool wall as shown in FIG. 1. The foldable control panel 404 may be foldable to align with the outer wall 201 of the pool wall 2000, particularly when not in use. Additionally or alternatively, such an opening through which the control panel 404 extends out may be provided in the chamber upper wall 302 and the top wall 202 depending on the location and shape of the control panel 404.
  • In some embodiments, a protective wall 7 is arranged between the accommodating wall 340 and the control box 4. Preferably, the protective wall 7 matches the contour of the accommodating wall 340 so as to prevent air leakage from the pool body caused by friction between the accommodating wall 340 and the control box 4. The protective wall 7 may be made of a weldable material such as PVC material or PVC composite material, and be connected to the pool body by welding so as to form an integrated structure. In conjunction with FIGS. 3, 5A and 5B, the protective wall 7 may be formed by a single sheet or strip and connected to both the outer wall 201 and the inner wall 200 of the pool body. FIG. 5A shows the protective wall 7 in the deployed state. The protective wall 7 may be connected to the inner wall 200 and the outer wall 201 along the side edges of the protective wall 7 and with an inner welding line 331 and an outer welding line 332.

  • Other embodiments
  • With reference to FIGS. 10-37, other embodiments according to the present invention are described. For the sake of completeness in disclosure, some features already discussed above may again be described.
  • With reference to FIGS. 10 and 11, the present application provides an inflatable massage pool 1. The inflatable massage pool 1 includes: a pool body 2, a control box accommodating cavity (accommodating chamber) 3, and a control box 4, where the pool body 2 includes a pool wall 2000, and the pool wall 2000 defines an inflatable chamber (air chamber). For example, the pool wall 2000 includes an inner wall 200, an outer wall 201, a top wall 202 and a pool wall 203 (or a part of the pool bottom 203). The inner wall 200, the outer wall 201, the top wall 202 and the pool bottom 203 (or a part of the pool bottom 203) define the inflatable chamber described above. Optionally, the inflatable chamber is formed by welding an upper end 200a of the inner wall 200 to the top wall 202 and welding a lower end 200b of the inner wall 200 to at least a part of the pool bottom 203; and by welding an upper end 201a of the outer wall 201 to the top wall 202 and welding a lower end 201b of the outer wall 201 to the pool bottom 203. For example, the inner wall 200, the outer wall 201, the top wall 202 and the pool bottom 203 are partially or completely made of a weldable material. For example, the weldable material includes thermoplastic urethane (TPU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
  • The pool wall 2000 and the pool bottom 203 define a water placement zone (water receptacle) 5.
  • The control box accommodating cavity 3 is provided in the pool wall 2000 and isolated from the inflatable chamber in a sealed manner. The control box 4 is located in the control box accommodating cavity 3. The control box 4 is configured to supply air and/or water to the pool body 2. For example, the control box 4 is in fluid communication with the water placement zone 5 of the pool body 2. The control box 4 is configured to control various functions of the inflatable massage pool 1.
  • For example, the inflatable chamber is further internally provided with a tensioning member 6. The tensioning member 6 is connected to the inner wall 200 and the outer wall 201 of the pool body 2 separately. After being tensioned, the tensioning member 6 provides a pulling force so as to limit deformation of a wall of the inflatable chamber, such that the inflatable chamber may keep a certain shape after being inflated.
  • The control box 4 is placed in the control box accommodating cavity 3, where the control box accommodating cavity 3 is located in the pool wall 2000. For example, the control box accommodating cavity 3 is located in a space formed by the inner wall 200, the outer wall 201, the top wall 202 and the pool bottom 203 of the pool body 2. In this way, the control box 4 is integrated into the pool body 2, such that no extra space for placing the control box 4 needs to be arranged outside the pool body 2, and an appearance of the entire inflatable massage pool 1 is cleaner.
  • A structure of the control box accommodating cavity will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
  • With reference to FIGS. 10-12, the control box accommodating cavity 3 includes a side wall 305 and an upper wall 302.
  • For example, the control box accommodating cavity 3 is in a substantially cuboid shape. The side wall 305 is formed by enclosing a weldable material sheet. The side wall 305 is provided with a front hole or opening 307 and a back hole or opening 308. A front hole periphery 3072 on a front side 300 of the side wall 305 and the outer wall 201 of the pool body 2 are welded to form a sealed connection, and a back hole periphery 3082 on a back side 301 of the side wall 305 and the inner wall 200 of the pool body 2 are welded to form a sealed connection. A periphery 3022 of the upper wall 302 is welded to an upper end of the side wall 305. A lower edge 3062 of the side wall 305 and the pool bottom 203 are welded to form a sealed connection, and the lower edge 3062 of the side wall 305 is provided with a first hole or opening 306, such that the first hole 306 is located at a bottom of the control box accommodating cavity 3. Corresponding to a position of the first hole 306, the pool bottom 203 is provided with a second hole or opening 205 as an access opening, and the first hole 306 is in communication with the second hole 205, so as to allow the control box 4 to enter the control box accommodating cavity 3 from the pool bottom 203. In this way, the control box accommodating cavity 3 isolates outside air from the inflatable chamber and may accommodate the control box 4, so as to facilitate mounting the control box 4 in the pool wall 2000 or removing the control box 4 from the pool wall 2000. Meanwhile, the control box accommodating cavity 3 is welded and fixed to the pool wall 2000, such that the control box accommodating cavity 3 may also limit a position of the control box 4 in the pool wall 2000, and the control box 4 is prevented from moving freely in the inflatable chamber and damaging components including a water supply pipeline.
  • It may be understood that in other embodiments, the first hole 306 and the second hole 205 may also be provided on the pool wall 2000, and accordingly, the control box 4 enters the control box accommodating cavity from the first hole 306 and the second hole 205 provided on the pool wall 2000.
  • For example, the first hole 306 and the second hole 205 are both in a rounded rectangle shape.
  • The second hole 205 may be used as an air inlet, so as to allow an air pump of the control box 4 to suck the outside air from the air inlet, and then supply air to a wave making channel described below and provide a bubble massage function. In other words, when the air pump in the control box 4 works, the outside air may be sucked into the control box 4 via the second hole 205 and the first hole 306, pressurized by the air pump, and conveyed into water in the water placement zone 5 via the pipeline, so as to form bubbles having a massage function.
  • With reference to FIGS. 11 and 13, at least one protective wall 7 is arranged between the control box accommodating cavity 3 and the control box 4. The protective wall 7 is located between the control box accommodating cavity 3 and the control box 4, and is configured to prevent the control box 4 from making direct contact with the control box accommodating cavity 3 and being rubbed with the control box accommodating cavity 3 and then causing air leakage of the inflatable chamber.
  • With reference to FIGS. 11, 12 and 14, the outer wall 201 of the pool body is provided with a panel hole 206. The panel hole 206 is aligned with the front hole 307, so as to allow a control panel 404 of the control box 4 to extend out of the outer wall 201 of the pool body. For example, the control panel 404 allows a user to set a working state of the control box 4.
  • With reference to FIGS. 11, 14 and 15, the control box 4 is internally provided with a fluid pipe 410, a water pump 405, an air pump 403 and a heater 406, where the fluid pipe 410 includes a water outlet pipe 411, a water inlet pipe 412, an air inlet pipe 413, and an inflation pipe 414. A front end surface 408 of the control box 4 is provided with a control box water outlet connector 8. The inner wall 200 of the pool body is provided with a pool water outlet connector 9. One end of the control box water outlet connector 8 is in communication with the water outlet pipe 411, and the other end of the control box water outlet connector is in communication with the pool water outlet connector 9. In this way, the water in the water placement zone of the pool body passes the pool water outlet connector 9 and the control box water outlet connector 8 successively, and thus enters the water outlet pipe 411 in the control box.
  • The front end surface 408 of the control box 4 is provided with a control box water inlet connector 10. The inner wall 200 of the pool body is provided with a pool water inlet connector 11. One end of the control box water inlet connector 10 is in communication with the water inlet pipe 412, and the other end of the control box water inlet connector is in communication with the pool water inlet connector 11. In this way, water in the water inlet pipe 412 of the control box 4 passes the control box water inlet connector 10 and the pool water inlet connector 11 successively, and thus enters the water placement zone of the pool body, where the water outlet pipe 411 is in communication with the water inlet pipe 412. Specifically, water enters the water outlet pipe 411 from the water placement zone 5 of the pool body, passes the water pump 405, flows through the heater 406, then enters the water inlet pipe 412, and finally returns to the water placement zone 5. That is, the water pump 405 is in fluid communication with the water placement zone of the pool body, so as to achieve water circulation. On one hand, the heater 406 may heat the water as required, so as to make a user in the water placement zone 5 more comfortable. On the other hand, a filtering apparatus arranged on a water circulation path may filter impurities in the water. For example, a filtering apparatus 911 is mounted on the inner wall 200 of the pool body 2 as shown in FIG. 10.
  • A connection between the control box water outlet connector 8 and the pool water outlet connector 9 will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
  • With reference to FIGS. 11, 12 and 16, the inflatable massage pool further includes a water outlet sealing assembly 800, the control box 4 includes the control box water outlet connector 8, the inner wall 200 of the pool body is provided with the pool water outlet connector 9, and the back side 301 of the control box accommodating cavity 3 is provided with the back hole 308, so as to allow the pool water outlet connector 9 to penetrate the back hole 308 to be connected to the control box water outlet connector 8 in a sealed manner by means of the water outlet sealing assembly 800, where the water outlet sealing assembly 800 may simultaneously achieve a sealed connection between the control box water outlet connector 8 and the pool water outlet connector 9 in a radial direction (a Z direction in FIG. 16) and an axial direction (an R direction in FIG. 16) of the control box water outlet connector 8. The control box water outlet connector 8 is connected to the pool water outlet connector 9 in a sealed manner, such that water may be prevented from leaking when entering the control box water outlet connector 8 from the pool water outlet connector 9.
  • Specifically, the water outlet sealing assembly 800 includes a first radial sealing member 809. For example, the first radial sealing member 809 is an annular sealing ring. With reference to FIGS. 16 and 17, the pool water outlet connector 9 includes a water outlet insertion end 901. For example, the water outlet insertion end 901 is of a hollow tubular structure. A radial size of the water outlet insertion end 901 gradually increases in an axial direction, facing an interior of the control box, of the pool water outlet connector 9.
  • It may be understood that the sealing member described herein and hereafter is made of an elastic material. The elastic material may be (but not limited to) rubber or silica gel.
  • With reference to FIGS. 16 and 18, the control box water outlet connector 8 includes a water outlet slot 804. For example, one end of the water outlet slot 804 away from the filter 911 is closed (as shown in A in FIG. 16) and the other end of the water outlet slot is open (as shown in B in FIG. 16).
  • The water outlet insertion end 901 is inserted into the water outlet slot 804. The first radial sealing member 809 is arranged between the water outlet insertion end 901 and a slot wall of the water outlet slot 804, and abuts against a side wall of the water outlet insertion end 901 and the slot wall of the water outlet slot 804 separately, such that the water outlet insertion end 901 is connected to the water outlet slot 804 in a sealed manner.
  • The control box water outlet connector 8 includes an inner control box water outlet connector 801 and an outer control box water outlet connector 802. The outer control box water outlet connector 802 is arranged around the inner control box water outlet connector 801 so as to define the water outlet slot 804. For example, a radial size of the outer control box water outlet connector 802 is greater than that of the inner control box water outlet connector 801. That is, a distance between the outer control box water outlet connector 802 and the inner control box water outlet connector 801 in a radial direction forms the water outlet slot 804, and the water outlet insertion end 901 is inserted into the water outlet slot 804.
  • The inner control box water outlet connector 801 is connected to the water outlet insertion end 901 in a sealed manner. Optionally, the inner control box water outlet connector 801 is hollow and is provided with an outer thread 803 on an outer surface, and the water outlet insertion end 901 is provided with an inner thread 902 on an inner wall. The outer thread 803 is connected to the inner thread 902. The first radial sealing member 809 is located between an outer wall of the water outlet insertion end 901 and the slot wall of the water outlet slot 804, such that the water outlet slot 804 is connected to the water outlet insertion end 901 in a sealed manner. It may be understood that the inner control box water outlet connector 801 and the water outlet insertion end 901 may further be connected to each other in known ways such as a flange connection or an interference fit connection.
  • With reference to FIGS. 16 and 19, the water outlet sealing assembly 800 further includes a first axial sealing member 808, the pool water outlet connector 9 further includes a first water outlet end surface 900 connected to the water outlet insertion end 901, and the first water outlet end surface 900 extends outward in the radial direction (the Z direction in FIG. 16) of the pool water outlet connector 9.
  • The control box water outlet connector 8 further includes a second water outlet end surface 805 connected to the water outlet slot 804, and the second water outlet end surface 805 extends outward in the radial direction of the control box water outlet connector 8. For example, the second water outlet end surface 805 is annular.
  • The first water outlet end surface 900 and the second water outlet end surface 805 are arranged oppositely and at an interval in the axial direction (the R direction in FIG. 16) of the control box water outlet connector 8. The first axial sealing member 808 is located between the first water outlet end surface 900 and the second water outlet end surface 805, and is connected to the first water outlet end surface 900 and the second water outlet end surface 805 separately in the axial direction of the control box water outlet connector 8 in a sealed manner. For example, the first axial sealing member 808 is connected to the first water outlet end surface 900 and the second water outlet end surface 805 separately in a sealed manner, such that water leaking into the water outlet slot 804 may be effectively prevented from leaking between the first water outlet end surface 900 and the second water outlet end surface 805.
  • With reference to FIGS. 16 and 20, the inflatable massage pool further includes a water outlet fixing member 913, at least a part of the water outlet fixing member 913 is located in the water outlet slot 804, an inner wall 913a of the water outlet fixing member 913 abuts against the outer wall of the water outlet insertion end 901, and an outer wall 913b of the water outlet fixing member 913 abuts against the slot wall of the water outlet slot 804. The water outlet insertion end 901 and the water outlet fixing member 913 jointly achieve reliable sealing between the control box water outlet connector 8 and the pool water outlet connector 9. An outer diameter of the water outlet insertion end 901 gradually decreases in a direction away from the first water outlet end surface 900, such that the water outlet fixing member 913 is gradually pressed in a process of fastening the water outlet insertion end 901 to the inner control box water outlet connector 801.
  • The outer wall 913b of the water outlet fixing member 913 is provided with a water outlet sealing clamping groove 917, and the water outlet sealing clamping groove 917 accommodates the first radial sealing member 809. The first radial sealing member 809 is pressed between the water outlet fixing member 913 and the inner wall of the outer control box water outlet connector 802, so as to form a seal between the control box water outlet connector 8 and the pool water outlet connector 9. There are two (or more) water outlet sealing clamping grooves 917, and each of the water outlet sealing clamping grooves 917 accommodates one first radial sealing member 809, such that a desirable sealing effect can still be ensured when any first radial sealing member 809 fails.
  • With reference to FIGS. 16 and 19, the first axial sealing member 808 includes a first protrusion 808a, and an inner wall of the first protrusion 808a is provided with a first clamping groove 808f. The outer wall 913b of the water outlet fixing member 913 is provided with a clamping part 915 in a protruding manner. The clamping part 915 is connected to the first clamping groove 808f in a clamped manner. For example, the first protrusion 808a covers the clamping part 915, such that a certain tightness is ensured while relative fixation of the first axial sealing member 808 and the water outlet fixing member 913 is achieved.
  • With reference to FIGS. 16 and 19, the first axial sealing member 808 further includes a connection part 808b and a second protrusion 808c. The first protrusion 808a and the second protrusion 808c are located at two ends of the connection part 808b in the axial direction (the R direction in FIG. 16) of the first axial sealing member 808, respectively. For example, a radial size of the first protrusion 808a is greater than that of the second protrusion 808c. The second protrusion 808c is clamped between the outer wall 913b of the water outlet fixing member and the slot wall of the water outlet slot 804 in the radial direction (the Z direction in FIG. 16) of the first axial sealing member 808. The connection part 808b extends outward in the radial direction of the first axial sealing member 808 so as to be attached to the inner wall 200 of the pool body. A surface of the connection part 808b and the inner wall 200 of the pool body are welded and sealed to prevent water from leaking from a joint between the second water outlet end surface 805 and the connection part 808b.
  • With reference to FIGS. 16 and 18, one side of the second water outlet end surface 805 facing the connection part 808b is provided with a second clamping groove 808d extending in the axial direction of the control box water outlet connector 8, the second clamping groove 808d accommodates a first water outlet sealing ring 808e, and the first water outlet sealing ring 808e abuts against the connection part 808b. For example, the first axial sealing member 808 and the first water outlet sealing ring 808e fill a space between the first water outlet end surface 900 and the second water outlet end surface 805 in the axial direction (the R direction in FIG. 16) of the control box water outlet connector 8, and the first water outlet end surface 900 and the second water outlet end surface 805 also press the first axial sealing member 808 and the first water outlet sealing ring 808e, such that a gap between the first water outlet end surface 900 and the second water outlet end surface 805 is as small as possible, so as to achieve a better sealing effect.
  • An outer wall of the outer control box water outlet connector 802 is provided with a third clamping groove 802a configured to accommodate a fastening member 810, and the fastening member 810 is configured to fasten the control box water outlet connector 8 and the pool water outlet connector 9. For example, the fastening member 810 presses the water outlet insertion end 901 in the water outlet slot 804 of the control box water outlet connector 8 and the first radial sealing member 809 by means of a fastening force, such that sealing of the control box water outlet connector 8 and the pool water outlet connector 9 is tighter and more reliable.
  • With reference to FIGS. 15, 16 and 21, the pool water outlet connector 9 is connected to the filter 911, and the filter 911 is fixed to the inner wall 200 of the pool body. For example, under the action of the water pump 405, the water in the water placement zone of the pool body first flows into the filter 911, and the impurities in the water are filtered by a filter element of the filter 911. The filtered water enters the control box 4, and optionally is heated by the heater 406, and then is returned to the water placement zone by means of the control box water inlet connector.
  • The inflatable massage pool further includes a water bypass assembly 912. The water bypass assembly 912 is fixed to the inner wall 200 of the pool body and is in fluid communication with the filter 911. For example, the water bypass assembly 912 is in communication by means of a pipeline arranged in the pool wall, such that the water pump 405 is not only in communication with the water in the water placement zone by means of the filter 911, but also in communication with the water in the water placement zone by means of the water bypass assembly 912. When the filter 911 is blocked, the water in the water placement zone may still be sucked into the water pump 405 by means of the water bypass assembly 912. Especially, in the case that the filter 911 is blocked by hair of a user, existence of the water bypass assembly 912 enables the user to easily leave the filter 911 without danger. In order to prevent the water pump 405 from working abnormally due to the fact that large impurities are sucked into the water pump 405, the water bypass assembly 912 is optionally provided with a filter screen (not shown in the figure). Alternatively, the water bypass assembly 912 is further provided with a filter element, or the water bypass assembly 912 is another filter the same as or approximately the same as the filter 911, so as to improve filtration efficiency of a filtration system.
  • A connection between the control box water inlet connector and the pool water inlet connector will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
  • With reference to FIGS. 12, 14 and 22, the inflatable massage pool further includes a water inlet sealing assembly 100, the control box 4 includes the control box water inlet connector 10, the inner wall 200 of the pool body is provided with the pool water inlet connector 11, and the back side 301 of the control box accommodating cavity 3 is provided with the back hole 308, so as to allow the pool water inlet connector 11 to penetrate the back hole 308 to be connected to the control box water inlet connector 10 in a sealed manner by means of the water inlet sealing assembly 100, where the water inlet sealing assembly 100 simultaneously achieve a sealed connection between the control box water inlet connector 10 and the pool water inlet connector 11 in a radial direction (a Z direction in FIG. 22) and an axial direction (an R direction in FIG. 22) of the control box water inlet connector 10.
  • Specifically, the water inlet sealing assembly 100 includes a second radial sealing member 106. For example, the second radial sealing member 106 is an annular sealing ring. With reference to FIGS. 21 and 22, the pool water inlet connector 11 includes a water inlet insertion end 111. For example, the water inlet insertion end 111 is of a hollow tubular structure, and extends in the axial direction of the control box water inlet connector 10. A radial size of the water inlet insertion end 111 gradually increases in a direction facing an exterior of the control box.
  • For example, the pool water inlet connector 11 further includes a water inlet limiting part 113. The water inlet limiting part 113 is arranged at a periphery of a first water inlet end surface 110 and extends in the axial direction of the pool water inlet connector 11 so as to protrude from the first water inlet end surface 110.
  • With reference to FIGS. 22-24, the control box water inlet connector 10 includes a water inlet slot 103. For example, one end of the water inlet slot 103 in the axial direction (the R direction in FIG. 22) of the control box water inlet connector 10 is closed (as shown in C in FIG. 22) and the other end of the water inlet slot is open (as shown in D in FIG. 22).
  • The water inlet insertion end 111 is inserted into the water inlet slot 103. The second radial sealing member 106 is arranged between the water inlet insertion end 111 and a slot wall of the water inlet slot 103, and abuts against the water inlet insertion end 111 and the slot wall of the water inlet slot 103 separately in the radial direction of the pool water inlet connector 11, such that the water inlet insertion end 111 is connected to the water inlet slot 103 in a sealed manner.
  • With reference to FIGS. 22 and 24, the control box water inlet connector 10 includes an inner control box water inlet connector 101 and an outer control box water inlet connector 102. The outer control box water inlet connector 102 is arranged around the inner control box water inlet connector 101 so as to define the water inlet slot 103. For example, a radial size of the outer control box water inlet connector 102 is greater than that of the inner control box water inlet connector 101. That is, a distance between the outer control box water inlet connector 102 and the inner control box water inlet connector 101 in the radial direction of the control box water inlet connector 10 forms the water inlet slot 103. One end of the water inlet slot 103 in the axial direction of the control box water inlet connector 10 is open and the other end of the water inlet slot is closed. An opening of the water inlet slot allows the water inlet insertion end 111 to be inserted into.
  • The inner control box water inlet connector 101 is hollow and is provided with an outer thread 101a on an outer surface, and an inner wall of the water inlet insertion end 111 is provided with an inner thread 112 matching the outer thread 101a. For example, under the condition that the inner control box water inlet connector 101 is in threaded connection with the water inlet insertion end 111, the second radial sealing member 106 is located between an outer wall of the water inlet insertion end 111 and the slot wall of the water inlet slot 103, such that the water inlet slot 103 is connected to the water inlet insertion end 111 in a sealed manner. It may be understood that the inner control box water inlet connector 101 and the water inlet insertion end 111 may further be connected to each other in a sealed manner in known ways such as a flange connection or an interference fit connection.
  • The water inlet sealing assembly 100 further includes a second axial sealing member 105. The pool water inlet connector 11 further includes the first water inlet end surface 110 connected to the water inlet insertion end 111, and the first water inlet end surface 110 extends outward in the radial direction of the pool water inlet connector 11.
  • The control box water inlet connector 10 further includes a second water inlet end surface 104 connected to the water inlet slot 103, and the second water inlet end surface 104 extends outward in the radial direction of the control box water inlet connector 10. For example, the second water inlet end surface 104 is annular.
  • The first water inlet end surface 110 and the second water inlet end surface 104 are arranged oppositely and at an interval in the axial direction (the R direction in FIG. 22) of the control box water inlet connector 10. The second axial sealing member 105 is located between the first water inlet end surface 110 and the second water inlet end surface 104, and is connected to the first water inlet end surface 110 and the second water inlet end surface 104 separately in the axial direction of the control box water inlet connector 10 in a sealed manner.
  • With reference to FIGS. 22 and 25, the inflatable massage pool further includes a water inlet fixing member 107, at least a part of the water inlet fixing member 107 is located in the water inlet slot 103, and an inner wall 107a of the water inlet fixing member 107 abuts against the outer wall of the water inlet insertion end 111 in the radial direction (the Z direction in FIG. 22) of the control box water inlet connector 10. An outer wall 107b of the water inlet fixing member 107 abuts against the slot wall of the water inlet slot 103 in the radial direction of the control box water inlet connector 10. That is, the water inlet insertion end 111 and the water inlet fixing member 107 jointly achieve reliable sealing between the control box water inlet connector 10 and the pool water inlet connector 11. An outer diameter of the water inlet insertion end 111 gradually decreases in a direction away from the first water inlet end surface 110, such that the water inlet fixing member 107 is gradually pressed in a process of fastening the water inlet insertion end 111 to the inner control box water inlet connector 101.
  • The outer wall 107b of the water inlet fixing member 107 is provided with a water inlet sealing clamping groove 107c, and the water inlet sealing clamping groove 107c accommodates the second radial sealing member 106. The second radial sealing member 106 is pressed between the water inlet fixing member 107 and the inner wall of the outer control box water inlet connector 102, so as to form a sealed connection between the control box water inlet connector 10 and the pool water inlet connector 11. There are two (or more) water inlet sealing clamping grooves 107c, and each of the water inlet sealing clamping grooves 107c accommodates one second radial sealing member 106, such that a desirable sealing effect can still be ensured when any second radial sealing member 106 fails.
  • With reference to FIGS. 22 and 26, the second axial sealing member 105 includes a third protrusion 105a, and an inner wall of the third protrusion 105a is provided with a fourth clamping groove 105d. The outer wall 107b of the water inlet fixing member 107 is provided with a second clamping part 107d in a protruding manner. The second clamping part 107d is connected to the fourth clamping groove 105d in a clamped manner. The third protrusion 105a covers the second clamping part 107d, such that relative positions of the second axial sealing member 105 and the water inlet fixing member 107 are fixed, and sealing is provided.
  • The second axial sealing member 105 includes a third connection part 105b and a fourth protrusion 105c. The third protrusion 105a and the fourth protrusion 105c are located at two ends of the third connection part 105b in the axial direction (the R direction in FIG. 22) of the second axial sealing member 105, respectively. For example, a radial size of the third protrusion 105a is greater than that of the fourth protrusion 105c. The water inlet limiting part 113 presses the third protrusion 105a. The fourth protrusion 105c is clamped between the outer wall 107b of the water inlet fixing member 107 and the slot wall of the water inlet slot 103 in the radial direction (the Z direction in FIG. 22) of the second axial sealing member 105. The third connection part 105b extends outward in the radial direction of the second axial sealing member 105 so as to be attached to the inner wall 200 of the pool body. For example, a surface of the third connection part 105b and the inner wall 200 of the pool body are welded and sealed to prevent water from leaking from a joint between the second water inlet end surface 104 and the third connection part 105b.
  • With reference to FIGS. 22 and 24, one side of the second water inlet end surface 104 facing the third connection part 105b is provided with a second water inlet clamping groove 104a, the second water inlet clamping groove 104a accommodates a first water inlet sealing ring 104b, and the first water inlet sealing ring 104b abuts against the third connection part 105b.

The protective cover 12 is provided with a plurality of water inlet holes 122 and is connected to the pool water inlet connector 11 by means of its columnar part 120 in a clamped manner.
  • With reference to FIGS. 11, 13 and 15, the control box 4 is internally provided with a control box air inlet connector, and the inner wall 200 of the pool body is provided with a pool air inlet connector 15. One end of the pool air inlet connector 15 penetrates an air inlet hole 409 of the front end surface 408 of the control box 4, so as to be in communication with the control box air inlet connector, and the other end of the pool air inlet connector 15 is in fluid communication with a connection channel 152 of the pool body. The air pump 403 sucks air from the outside, pressurizes the air, and then conveys the air to a wave making channel 151 via the connection channel 152. The pressurized air supplies bubbles to a water storage zone via air injection holes 153 distributed on the wave making channel 151 so as to produce a massage effect.
  • A connection between the control box air inlet connector and the pool air inlet connector will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

That is, the control box air inlet connector 14 and the pool air inlet connector 15 are sleeved with the radial sealing connector 131 at the same time, such that the control box air inlet connector 14 is connected to the pool air inlet connector 15.
  • For example, the radial sealing connector 131 further includes a contraction part 134a. One end of the contraction part 134a is connected to the first air inlet end 133 and the other end of the contraction part is connected to the second air inlet end 134.

Specifically, if a radial size of the first air inlet end 133 is greater than that of the second air inlet end 134, a radial size of the contraction part 134a gradually decreases in the axial direction, facing the pool body, of the radial sealing connector 131. That is, the radial size of the contraction part 134a gradually decreases from a maximum radial size at a joint with the first air inlet end 133 to a minimum radial size at a joint with the second air inlet end 134.
  • With reference to FIGS. 27 and 28, the air inlet sealing assembly 13 further includes a first air inlet sealing ring 142.
