Description

[0001] Claim priority to the patent (title: A simple folding shower rack, application number: 2025211593451, application date: June 6, 2025). Technical Field

[0002] This utility model relates to a simple folding shower rack, and more particularly to a simple folding shower rack. Background Technology

[0003] As society develops and people's living standards improve, many families keep pets. Therefore, pet grooming is essential, and one common method is bathing pets in a tub. To avoid the strain of bending over, we place the tub on a stand, allowing the owner to bathe the pet while standing. Of course, the same tub and stand can also be used to bathe infants and young children.

[0004] As a result, a foldable bathtub and stand have appeared on the market (patent name: a foldable stand; patent number: ZL202420832187.0). The folding structure is complex. Not only do pull ropes need to be sewn onto the bathtub and fixed to the fastener box, but there is also only one buckle structure located in the middle of the bottom of the bathtub. Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the unfolding of the first and second folding parts, the fastener box needs to be made relatively large and complex, which increases the production cost. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a simple folding shower rack.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A simple folding bath rack includes a basin, two opposing support frames, a first folding component, and a second folding component. The basin has a sleeve around its edge, and the support frames are located within the sleeve. The first and second folding components are hinged together, and both sides of the first and second folding components have latching structures to restrict their rotation relative to each other. The basin is not connected to the latching structures. The latching structures include a slider mounted on the first folding component and movable along it, and a locking member mounted on the second folding component. The slider engages with the locking member. The first folding component contains an elastic element that keeps the slider engaged with the locking member, and a limiting structure to prevent the slider from disengaging from the first folding component.

[0008] The sleeve has a cut.

[0009] The cut is located on the inside of the support frame, and the cut is located at the bend of the support frame.

[0010] The slider is provided with a sliding hole, the tube end of the first folding member slides in conjunction with the sliding hole, and the elastic member is located inside the tube end.

[0011] The elastic element is a spring, and a rivet is provided inside the tube end. One end of the spring abuts against the rivet, and the other end of the spring abuts against the bottom of the sliding hole.

[0012] The limiting structure includes an elongated hole disposed on the slider and a limiting member fixed to the end of the tube, the limiting member being located in the elongated hole.

[0013] The end of the slider is provided with a slot, and the locking member can be engaged in the slot.

[0014] The locking component includes a cap end and a rod end. The rod end and the second folding component are provided with a limiting hole. The rod end passes through the limiting hole and is fixed to the cap end. The cap end can be inserted into the slot.

[0015] A connecting rod is provided between the sliders, and a slot is provided on the slider. The end of the connecting rod is fixed in the corresponding slot.

[0016] It also includes a connecting rod and two supporting frames, the supporting frames being hinged to each other to form an X shape, the connecting rod being fixed to the supporting frame and hinged to the supporting frame.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The buckle structure of this utility model includes a slider disposed on the first folding member and movable along the first folding member, and a locking member disposed on the second folding member. The slider can engage with the locking member, and the first folding member is provided with an elastic member that keeps the slider engaged with the locking member and a limiting structure that prevents the slider from disengaging from the first folding member. In the above structure, there is no need for a pull rope, and the basin is not connected to the buckle structure. The user can directly move the slider to fold the first and second folding members. Therefore, the assembly structure is simple. Moreover, both sides of the first and second folding members are provided with buckle structures, so the first and second folding members have good stability after unfolding. Therefore, the slider of this application can be small in size and simple in structure, thus saving costs. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The shower rack of this structure includes a basin, two opposing support frames 1, two opposing supporting frames 2, and a connector 3. Both the support frames 1 and the supporting frames 2 are hinged to the connector 3. In this application, the support frames 1 are connected by several support rods to form a U-shaped structure, and the supporting frames 2 are connected by several frame rods to form a U-shaped structure. The support rods and frame rods are preferably made of stainless steel tubing. When not folded, the two supporting frames 2 form a V-shape, while the parallel supporting frames 1 form a supporting plane. The connector 3 is a square strip molded from plastic. The connector 3 has a slot. The connector 3 is not only the connecting part of the support frame 1 and the supporting frame 2, but also the end feet of the two support frames 1 are located in the corresponding slots and are hinged to the slot wall; and the end feet of the two supporting frames 2 are located in the corresponding slots and are hinged to the slot wall. In this way, the end feet are hidden in the slots, which is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also prevents the sharp edges of the slots from being exposed and injuring people. The basin (not shown in the figure) is made of waterproof tape. The upper edge of the basin is provided with a sleeve, and the support frame 1 is located in the sleeve. The above is the conventional structure of the bath rack, and the above structure constitutes the main body of the bath rack.

[0034] As shown in the figure, it also includes a first folding component 5 and a second folding component 6. The first folding component 5 and the second folding component 6 are respectively hinged to the corresponding support frame 1, and both sides of the first folding component 5 and the second folding component 6 are provided with a buckle structure to restrict the rotation of the first folding component 5 and the second folding component 6. Of course, the first folding component 5 and the second folding component 6 are both U-shaped tubes, and the two buckle structures are respectively located at the tube ends of the U-shaped tubes. In this application, the basin body is not connected to the buckle structure, and the buckle structure includes a slider 4 disposed on the first folding component 5 and capable of moving along the first folding component 5, and a locking component 7 disposed on the second folding component 6. The slider 4 can engage with the locking component 7, and the first folding component 5 is provided with an elastic component 8 that can keep the slider 4 engaged with the locking component 7, as well as a limiting structure to prevent the slider 4 from disengaging from the first folding component 5. Therefore, the user can directly move the slider 4, which compresses the elastic element 8 and moves, thereby separating the slider 4 from the locking element 7. The user can then rotate and fold the folding elements 5 and 6, thereby causing the support frame 1 to rotate and fold. After the slider 4 is separated from the locking element 7, it will not separate from the folding element 5 due to the effect of the limiting structure. In use, the user moves the slider 4 and unfolds the folding elements 5 and 6. After releasing the slider 4, the slider 4 will reset and lock with the locking element 7 due to the action of the elastic element 8. As a specific structure, the end of the slider 4 is provided with a slot 16, and the locking element 7 can be inserted into the slot 16.

[0035] As shown in the figure, the slider 4 is provided with a sliding hole 9, and the tube end of the folding member 5 is slidably engaged with the sliding hole 9. The elastic member 8 is located inside the tube end. Specifically, the elastic member 8 is a spring. A rivet 10 is provided inside the tube end. One end of the spring abuts against the rivet 10 and the other end of the spring abuts against the bottom of the sliding hole 9. The above structure is simple and easy to install.

[0036] As shown in the figure, the limiting structure includes an elongated hole 11 on the slider 4 and a limiting member fixed to the tube end. The limiting member is located in the elongated hole 11. When the hole wall of the elongated hole 11 abuts against the limiting member, it can lock the slider 4 and prevent the slider 4 from being disengaged from the folding member 5 by the elastic member 8. The limiting member is also a rivet fixed to the folding member 5.

[0037] As shown in the figure, the locking member 7 includes a cap end 12 and a rod end 13. The rod end 13 and the folding member 2 6 are provided with a limiting hole 14. The rod end 13 passes through the limiting hole 14 and is fixed to the cap end 12. The cap end 12 can be inserted into the slot 16. The rod end 13 is a rivet 10. One end of the rivet 10 is inserted into the cap end 12 for tight fit and fixation. The diameter of the cap end 12 is relatively large and cannot be inserted into the limiting hole 14. Therefore, when the folding member 1 5 and the folding member 2 6 are unfolded, they can be inserted into the slot 16 to prevent the folding member 1 5 and the folding member 2 6 from rotating.

[0038] As shown in the figure, a connecting rod 15 is provided between the sliders 4, and a slot 16 is provided on the slider 4. The end of the connecting rod 15 is fixed in the corresponding slot 16. The above structure strengthens the structural strength of the first folding part 5 and the second folding part 6 after they are unfolded.

[0039] As shown in the figure, the sleeve has a slit. Because the material of the sleeve is the same as that of the basin, it is not as soft as the fabric. Therefore, after the support frame 1 is put on, the sleeve has an uneven degree of curvature on the outside and inside at the bend of the support frame. As a result, the inside of the sleeve pulls on the outside of the sleeve, causing the outside of the sleeve to be uneven and wrinkled, which affects the overall appearance. Therefore, we set a slit on the inside of the sleeve at the bend of the support frame to avoid pulling on the outside of the sleeve at this point and causing unevenness and wrinkles.

[0040] There are two ways to connect the supporting frame 1 and the supporting frame 2 in this application.

[0041] One way is as follows Figures 1 to 3 As shown, both the support frame 1 and the supporting frame 2 are hinged to the connector 3. The two supporting frames 2 form a figure-eight structure, and the supporting frame 2 and the support frame 1 are connected by a connecting rod 17 and a connecting rod 18. The connecting rod 17 is L-shaped and is fixed to the support frame 1. One end of the connecting rod 18 is hinged to the connecting rod 17, and the other end of the connecting rod 18 is hinged to the supporting frame 2, thereby realizing the unfolding and folding of the support frame 1 and the supporting frame 2.

[0042] Another way is as follows Figure 6 and 7 As shown, the supporting frame 2 is not hinged to the connecting piece 3. The two supporting frames 2 are hinged to each other to form an X-shaped structure. The supporting frame 2 and the supporting frame 1 are connected only by a connecting rod 17. The connecting rod 17 is fixed to the supporting frame 1 and hinged to the supporting frame 2, thereby realizing the unfolding and folding of the supporting frame 1 and the supporting frame 2.

[0043] The above provides a detailed description of a simple folding shower rack provided by the embodiments of this utility model. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
