Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathtub technology, and in particular to a foldable and retractable bathtub. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, bathtubs are products used for home bathing. Their overall structure is primarily a tub with a certain water depth, resulting in a certain height. When users need to use a bathtub, the current method of entering is usually by stepping in. However, when the bathtub is high, this method is very inconvenient and dangerous, as it's easy to lose balance or misstep. Therefore, users usually use a stool to step into the bathtub. However, since the stool is a separate component, placing it in the bathroom not only affects the bathroom's appearance but also takes up space. Furthermore, it requires separate storage after each use, which is a very tedious task for users. Utility Model Content

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a foldable bathtub, including a tub body 1, a water storage tank 2 on the tub body 1, a pedal 3 hinged to the side of the tub body 1, support feet 4 hinged to the bottom surfaces at both ends of the pedal 3, a hydraulic rod 5 hinged to the bottom surface of the pedal 3, and the other end of the hydraulic rod 5 is hinged to the side of the tub body 1.

[0026] Wherein, the angle of the unfolded support leg 4 is greater than or equal to 90°, and after the support leg 4 is unfolded, the bottom of the support leg 4 is parallel to the bottom surface of the cylinder body 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, a footboard 3 is attached to the tub body 1, allowing users to use the footboard 3 as a step to more easily and safely step into the bathtub. At the same time, both the footboard 3 and the support foot 4 are designed as folding structures, so that the footboard 3 and the support foot 4 can be quickly folded and stored when not in use, achieving a hidden function and not taking up extra space.

[0028] In practical use, simply pry the pedal 3 out along the hinge point, rotate the pedal 3 to a horizontal position, and then unscrew the support legs 4 one by one from under the pedal 3, rotating them to their maximum angle so that the bottom of the support legs 4 supports the ground. The combination of the pedal 3 and support legs 4 can then be used as a step. When not in use, first fold the support legs 4, and then rotate the pedal 3 back along the original path to achieve folding and storage. A hydraulic rod 5 is incorporated during the rotation of the pedal 3 to optimize the unfolding and folding operation, reducing the impact force during opening or closing, and ensuring greater structural stability after unfolding or folding.

[0029] Furthermore, to better accommodate the unused pedal 3, the side of the cylinder 1 in this embodiment is provided with a receiving groove 6 for accommodating the pedal 3. One end of the hydraulic rod 5 is hinged to the groove wall of the receiving groove 6. The hinge between the pedal 3 and the cylinder 1 is located on the receiving groove 6, so that the pedal 3 can be rotated and stored in the receiving groove 6. When the pedal 3 is stored in the receiving groove 6, the surface of the pedal 3 is flush with the opening of the receiving groove 6.

[0030] Furthermore, to achieve a locking effect after the pedal 3 is retracted, this embodiment also provides a magnetic rebounder 61 within the receiving groove 6, and a magnetic piece 62 is provided on the back of the pedal 3 at a corresponding position relative to the magnetic rebounder 61. After the pedal 3 is retracted, the magnetic rebounder 61 provides cushioning and forms a magnetic lock, thereby enhancing the stability of the pedal 3 during retraction. It should be noted that the magnetic piece 62 can specifically be a metal sheet that can be attracted by a magnet. The magnetic rebounder 61 in this embodiment is an existing device, therefore, its specific structure will not be described in detail; it is sufficient to select a rebounder with magnetic attraction.

[0031] Furthermore, to ensure the support leg 4 is stable after being retracted, the bottom surface of the pedal 3 in this embodiment is provided with a mating groove 7. The support leg 4 is hinged to the mating groove 7, and the shaft of the support leg 4 corresponds to the mating groove 7, allowing the shaft of the support leg 4 to be rotated and pressed into the mating groove 7. This pressing force achieves a locking effect on the support leg 4, preventing it from accidentally disengaging.

[0032] Furthermore, to facilitate the user's gripping of the pedal 3, a groove 8 is provided at the edge of the pedal 3 in this embodiment. The bottom of the groove 8 extends inward to form a relief cavity 9 for accommodating the insertion of a finger. When gripping the pedal, the finger can be placed in the relief cavity 9, so that the finger can apply force to the groove 8, thereby applying force to pry the pedal 3 up.

[0033] Furthermore, to provide higher quality bathing water, this embodiment includes a filter chamber 11 on the tank body 1. The filter chamber 11 is covered by a cover plate 10. A filter bottle 12 is installed inside the filter chamber 10, and a filter element 13 is installed inside the filter bottle 12. The filter element 13 has a hollow tube structure. The filter bottle 12 has an outlet 14 connected to the central tube of the filter element 13, and an inlet 15 connected to the outside of the filter element 13. The inlet 15 is connected to the water inlet pipe of the tank body 1, and the outlet 15 is connected to the water storage tank 2. Thus, each time water enters the water storage tank 2, it is filtered by the filter element 13. To facilitate the replacement of the filter element 13, the filter bottle 12 in this embodiment is screwed shut by a cap 16, which faces the opening of the filter chamber 11. When replacement is needed, simply open the cover plate 10 to expose the filter bottle 12, then unscrew the cap 16, remove the old filter element 13, insert the new filter element 13, ensuring the central tube of the new filter element 13 aligns with the water outlet 14, and then replace the cap to complete the replacement. To prevent excessive internal water pressure, a vent valve 17 is provided on the cap 16. This vent valve 17 can be a manually operated vent valve or a self-vent valve. Furthermore, the cylinder 1 in this embodiment can be equipped with a piping design for either a cooling or heating system. Regardless of whether it's a cooling or heating system, the water inlet 15 connects to the water pipe that needs to enter the water storage tank 2, which is the outlet of the cooling or heating system piping.

[0034] In addition, to facilitate the temporary placement of some items, such as mobile phones or jewelry, the cover plate 10 of this embodiment is provided with an item slot 18 for temporary storage of items, and these mobile phones can be placed in the item slot.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
