Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cleaning device technology, specifically relating to a baby bathing device that does not require the baby to sit up. Background Technology

[0002] When bathing infants, especially newborns, obstetric medical staff need to be gentle and prevent water from getting into their ears or eyes. When cleaning the baby's back, they need to turn the baby over or support the baby's neck to make it easier to clean the baby's back. This can sometimes cause discomfort to the baby, resulting in crying, scratching, or thrashing, making cleaning difficult. In addition, since supporting the baby requires one hand, if only one medical staff member is cleaning, they can only use one hand to clean the baby, resulting in low cleaning efficiency or some areas not being cleaned properly.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN201821358258.9, entitled "A Baby Bathtub," discloses a baby bathtub comprising a basin body with an inclined reclining board inside the basin. The reclining board has at least one water outlet. A first water pump and a second water pump are located on the lower side of the reclining board. A water storage buffer tank is also located on the lower side of the reclining board and is connected to the water outlet on the reclining board. The first water pump is connected to the water storage buffer tank via a rubber hose and is used to deliver water from the basin body to the water storage buffer tank, thereby delivering water to the water outlet for rinsing the baby. The second water pump is connected to a shower head via a rubber hose and is used to deliver water from the basin body to the shower head for rinsing the baby. The first water pump sends water from the basin to the outlet, and the second water pump sends water from the basin to the shower head. This allows for both water massage on the baby's back through the outlet on the reclining board and spraying and rinsing other parts of the body with the movable shower head, ensuring a thorough and convenient wash. This patent is one of the most representative baby bathing devices currently available, allowing the baby to lie on their back on the reclining board for washing.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN202021453312.5, entitled "A Multifunctional Baby Bathing Bed," discloses a multifunctional baby bathing bed comprising a water tank, a bathing basin, a wastewater tank, and a dressing table. The bathing basin is located directly above the wastewater tank and connected to it by four support rods. The water tank is located above the bathing basin and connected to it by a support plate. A bathing tray is placed inside the bathing basin, and a screw is fixed to the inner surface of the bathing basin. An adjustment device is connected to the bathing tray via a ball joint and a screw structure formed by an internal thread. This allows the height of the bathing tray to be adjusted by rotating the adjustment device to accommodate babies of different heights. The dressing table is located to the side of the water tank. Because the dressing table is in constant contact with the water tank, it remains warm, improving the baby's comfort and preventing them from getting cold when the dressing table is laid flat and the baby is placed on it for dressing.

[0005] The drawback of the two patents is that the baby needs to be seated to clean the back and other areas during the cleaning process. This may cause discomfort to the baby, and holding the baby up requires one hand, which makes it difficult for the cleaning staff to free up their hands and feet, thus reducing the cleaning efficiency.

[0006] In view of this, it is necessary to propose a baby bathing device that can prevent the baby from sitting up during the washing process and minimize the baby's stress response during rinsing. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a baby bathing device that is easy to operate, eliminates the need for the baby to sit up during the washing process, frees up the hands of the cleaning staff, effectively reduces the workload of the cleaning staff, and can also reduce the stress response of the baby during the rinsing process.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention discloses a baby bathing device that does not require the baby to sit up, including a rinsing device. The rinsing device includes a water receiving tray and a reclining board for the baby to lie on his back. The water receiving tray is located below the reclining board. The reclining board is a thin plate with a recessed receiving portion and a U-shaped cross-section. The reclining board is divided into two symmetrical parts along the center line. The end of the reclining board used to place the baby's head is higher than the end used to place the baby's feet. During rinsing, the water flows out from the lower side of the reclining board or the bottom hole of the receiving portion and is collected by the water receiving tray.

[0009] The two sections are provided with notches in the middle, and a baffle that can be flipped up and down is provided at the notch. The lower part of the baffle is hinged to the bottom of the lying plate. The upper part of the baffle or the lying plate is provided with a locking part for locking the baffle. When the locking part locks the baffle, the edge of the baffle is aligned with the edge of the notch of the lying plate.

[0010] When the baby is placed on the reclining board, lift down one section of the baffle to expose one side of the baby's back and one side of the buttocks, allowing the operator to clean the exposed side of the back and one side of the buttocks. At this time, the other parts of the receiving section and the baffle of the other section still support the baby. When it is necessary to clean the other side of the baby's back and the other side of the buttocks, reset the baffle on this side and open the other baffle to carry out the cleaning operation.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the lying board is also provided with a V-shaped limiting part for preventing the baffles of the two sections from being fully opened at the same time. The V-shaped limiting part is a V-shaped rod that can swing left and right, and the baffles of the two sections are located inside the V-shaped limiting part.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the V-shaped limiting part is hinged to the bottom of the lying plate. The V-angle of the V-shaped limiting part is equal to the angle between the two baffles when the baffle of one part is at its maximum opening angle and the baffle of the other part is locked. This causes the V-shaped limiting part to deflect to the same side during the process of opening the baffle of one part to its maximum opening angle. At this time, on the other side of the lying plate, the rod of the V-shaped limiting part abuts against the outer wall of the baffle of the other part, so that the baffle of the other part cannot be opened, or the baffles of the two parts cannot be fully opened at the same time.

[0013] Preferably, when the baffle is at its maximum opening angle, the baffle as a whole is still higher than the hinge point between the V-shaped limiting part and the lying plate, so that the baffle has an effective receiving area in the horizontal direction, forming a catch for the water splashed during rinsing, and guiding the water on the surface of the baffle back to the water receiving tray.

[0014] Preferably, the notch has no stop bar in the middle or has 1-2 stop bars, the stop bars are connected to the reclining board, and the stop bars still provide support for the baby when the board is open.

[0015] Preferably, the baffle is provided with a small window for accommodating the baffle bar at a position corresponding to the baffle bar.

[0016] Preferably, the surface of the receiving part is provided with multiple drainage channels along the transverse direction, which are used to guide the rinsing water to the lower part of the receiving part.

[0017] Preferably, the locking part is an insert-type or knob-type lock.

[0018] Preferably, the rinsing device is fixedly mounted or placed on a movable base.

[0019] Preferably, it also includes a shower head, which is connected to an external water source or a water tank on a movable base.

[0020] The baby bathing device of the present invention that eliminates the need for the baby to sit up has at least the following advantages:

[0021] 1. The middle of the reclining board features a partially openable design, allowing one side of the baby's back and one side of the buttocks to be exposed for washing without having to sit up or turn the baby over, thus avoiding discomfort and reducing the baby's pain. It also frees up one hand for the cleaning staff, improving rinsing efficiency, and can be completed by a single person, saving labor costs.

[0022] 2. The V-shaped limiting part design ensures that only one of the two baffles can be in the open state, guaranteeing the safety of the baby during washing.

[0023] 3. The safety bar provides support for the baby's body during bathing, further ensuring safety. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below through embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0029] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0030] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a baby bathing device that does not require the baby to sit up includes a rinsing device. The rinsing device includes a water tray 1 and a reclining board 2 for the baby to lie on their back. The water tray 1 is located below the reclining board 2. The reclining board 2 is a thin plate with a recessed receiving portion and a U-shaped cross-section. The reclining board 2 is divided into two symmetrical sections along its center line. The end of the reclining board 2 used to place the baby's head is higher than the end used to place the baby's feet. During rinsing, water flows out from the lower side of the reclining board 2 or from the bottom hole of the receiving portion and is collected by the water tray 1.

[0031] The two sections are provided with notches 3 in the middle, and a baffle 4 that can be flipped up and down is provided at the notch 3. The lower part of the baffle 4 is hinged to the bottom of the lying board 2. The upper part of the baffle 4 or the lying board 2 is provided with a locking part 5 for locking the baffle 4. When the locking part 5 locks the baffle 4, the edge of the baffle 4 is aligned with the edge of the notch 3 of the lying board 2. Furthermore, a gap of a certain width should be left between the edge of the baffle 4 and the edge of the notch 3 to avoid the occasional phenomenon of pinching the baby's skin when the baffle 4 is closed.

[0032] When the baby is placed on the reclining board 2, lift down one of the partitions 4 to expose one side of the baby's back and one side of the buttocks, allowing the operator to clean the exposed side of the back and one side of the buttocks. At this time, the other parts of the receiving section and the partition 4 of the other section still support the baby. When it is necessary to clean the other side of the baby's back and the other side of the buttocks, reset the partition 4 on this side and open the partition 4 on the other side to perform the cleaning operation.

[0033] The bottom of the lying board 2 is also provided with a V-shaped limiting part 6 to prevent the baffles 4 of the two parts from being fully opened at the same time. The V-shaped limiting part 6 is a V-shaped rod that can swing left and right, and the baffles 4 of the two parts are located inside the V-shaped limiting part 6.

[0034] The bottom of the V-shaped limiting part 6 is hinged to the bottom of the lying plate 2. The V-angle of the V-shaped limiting part 6 is equal to the angle between the two baffles 4 when one baffle 4 is at its maximum opening angle and the other baffle 4 is locked. This causes the V-shaped limiting part 6 to deflect to the same side during the process of opening the baffle 4 of one part to its maximum opening angle. At this time, on the other side of the lying plate 2, the rod of the V-shaped limiting part 6 abuts against the outer wall of the baffle 4 of the other part, so that the baffle 4 of the other part cannot be opened, or the baffles 4 of the two parts cannot be fully opened at the same time.

[0035] When the baffle 4 is at its maximum opening angle, the baffle 4 as a whole is still higher than the hinge point between the V-shaped limiting part 6 and the lying plate 2, so that the baffle 4 has an effective receiving area in the horizontal direction, forming a catch for the water splashed during rinsing, and guiding the water on the surface of the baffle 4 back to the water receiving tray 1.

[0036] Furthermore, as another implementation method, such as Figure 3 As shown, the notch 3 has no baffle 8 in the middle or has 1-2 baffles 8. The baffles 8 are connected to the reclining board 2. When the baffle 4 is open, the baffles 8 still provide support for the baby. The baffle 4 has a small window 7 at a position corresponding to the baffles 8 to accommodate the baffles 8. The baffles 8 can also be designed to slide slightly along the length of the reclining board 2 (the width of the small window is adapted to the sliding range of the baffles 8), so that the baffles 8 can be placed in a more comfortable position for the baby, and the skin covered by the baffles 8 can also be cleaned through the baffles 8.

[0037] The surface of the receiving part is provided with multiple drainage channels along the transverse direction, which are used to guide the rinsing water to the lower part of the receiving part.

[0038] The locking part 5 adopts a plug-in type or a knob-type lock. Locks such as bolts, hook locks, and rotary locks can be used; push-button switches are not recommended to prevent accidental activation.

[0039] The rinsing device is fixedly installed or placed on a movable base; it also includes a shower head, which is connected to an external water source or a water tank on the movable base. When applied in hospital obstetrics departments, the rinsing device can be easily moved to the delivery room or other locations, allowing the baby to be bathed in front of the mother, fulfilling the common wish of mothers and avoiding the anxiety caused to the mother when the baby is taken to the bathroom and out of her sight.

[0040] To effectively prevent cross-infection during use, a disposable pad can be laid on the surface of the lying board 2. When laying the pad, a redundancy should be provided at the baffle 4. When one baffle 4 is opened, the corresponding position of the pad loses support, and under gravity, the middle of the pad separates from the baby's back and buttocks, allowing for direct hand contact with the skin for cleaning. During the cleaning process, lay the baby supine on the lying board 2. First, clean the baby's head, neck, chest, abdomen, and legs. Then, open one baffle 4 to expose one side of the baby's back and buttocks for cleaning. After cleaning, close that side of the baffle 4 and open the other side to clean the other side of the baby's back and buttocks.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and embodiments shown and described herein.
