[0033] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a step splicing method for a bathtub, referring to Figure 1 The ladder structure diagram shown includes:

[0034] At least two steps 300 are prepared, and the sides of the two steps 300 are interlocked and spliced ​​to form at least two steps.

[0035] Further, the preparing at least two steps comprises:

[0036] Two left and right side panel groups 100 and a pedal 200 are prepared. The side panel group 100 includes left and right side panels 110 of the same height. Both ends of the pedal 200 are mounted on the left and right side panels 110 of the same height and spliced ​​to form a step 300.

[0037] In some embodiments, at least two steps also include: side panel groups 100 with different heights and pedals 200 with the same width, the side panel group 100 includes left and right side panels 110 of equal height, and the two ends of the pedal 200 are mounted on the left and right side panels 110 of equal height, and spliced ​​to form at least two steps 300 of different heights; at least two steps are arranged in a gradually higher or lower manner according to the height of the steps 300, and the long sides of adjacent steps are interlocked and spliced ​​to form at least two steps.

[0038] Furthermore, the step of interlocking and splicing the sides of the two steps comprises:

[0039] At least two steps are arranged adjacent to each other in a gradually higher or lower manner according to the height of the steps 300, and the long sides of adjacent steps are interlocked and spliced ​​to form at least two steps.

[0040] Through the above-mentioned splicing method, stairs of different heights and different numbers can be freely combined to adapt to the use of bathtubs of various heights. At the same time, the height difference between the steps can be adjusted according to actual use needs to adapt to the use of different user groups, such as children, adults, the elderly, etc.

[0041] In this embodiment, four steps are arranged according to the height of the bathtub. In some embodiments, according to the actual scene or site requirements, a non-gradually high form is adopted to gradually climb up to enter the bathtub, or a non-gradually low form is adopted to walk down the bathtub from the high platform, that is, a combination of various forms such as high first and then low (such as climbing three steps first and then going down one step) or low first and then high (going down one step first and then climbing four steps) or walking up a few steps in the middle to enter the bathtub, as long as the steps of different heights are arranged close to each other and then the long sides of the adjacent steps are interlocked and spliced, it can be specifically arranged according to the practical needs of the site or scene. The purpose of this embodiment is that the steps of different heights can be interlocked and spliced ​​through the side panels of the long sides to meet the use needs of different people or scenes.

[0042] For better understanding, based on the above embodiments, an optional embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0043] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the long side portions of adjacent steps are placed adjacent to each other such that the side plates 110 at the ends of adjacent steps are aligned;

[0044] The side plate 110 is provided with an opening groove 111 on the side adjacent to the adjacent step, and the opening grooves of the two side plates are aligned to form a "work" - shaped splicing groove 120;

[0045] A "work" - shaped splicing member 130 is inserted into the bottom of the splicing groove to fixedly connect the two side plates, so that the left and right ends of adjacent steps 300 are limited and fixed through the splicing groove 120 and the splicing member 130 of the side plate 110, and at least two - level steps are spliced.

[0046] Further, referring to Figure 4 , both sides of the side plate 100 are secondarily bent at a right angle towards the same side to form a "L" - shaped hooked side end 112. A middle portion of the first side surface 113 of the side end 112 sinks to form an opening groove 111, and the opening width of the opening groove 111 is smaller than the groove width such that the cross - sectional shape surrounded by the cross - sectional contour of the opening groove is "convex" - shaped.

[0047] Further, as shown in Figure 2-4 , adjacent steps 300 are placed adjacent to each other such that the first side surfaces 113 of the side ends 112 are adjacent to each other, and the openings of the opening grooves 111 are aligned with each other to form a splicing groove 120. The cross - sectional shape surrounded by the cross - sectional contour of the splicing groove 120 is "work" - shaped;

[0048] The "work" - shaped splicing member 130 is placed into the splicing groove to fix the two adjacent side plates 110, so as to fixedly splice adjacent steps 300.

[0049] In this embodiment, an opening groove combination between the side plate and the side forms a "work" - shaped splicing groove, and then the "work" - shaped splicing member is used to lock the two side plates, making the splicing between steps more stable and firm.

[0050] It should be noted that the height of the splicing member is determined according to the actual height of the side plate or the size of the steps. This embodiment does not impose any form of restriction on the height of the splicing member. Those skilled in the art can set it according to actual usage requirements. Generally, the higher the height of the splicing member, the more stable the splicing of the two steps. It can generally be set to be similar to the height of the side plate of the lowest step.

[0051] To improve the stability and support between the pedal and the side - plate group, in an alternative embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 and 5As shown, a support notch 115 is provided at the top of the second side surface 114 of the side end 112, and the pedal 200 includes two cross beams 210, one in front of the other, and the ends of the cross beams 210 are mounted on the support notch 115. A limiting sub-notch 116 is also provided on the support notch 115 corresponding to the bottom surface contour of the cross beam 210, which is used to limit the loosening of the cross beam 210 after being mounted on the top of the side end.

[0052] Furthermore, the end side of the crossbeam 210 is also cut with a splicing notch 230 that matches the cross-sectional contour of the side end 112, so that the crossbeam 210 is embedded in the side end 112 for limiting when it is installed on the side end 112, and the remaining parts on both sides of the splicing notch are just embedded in the side end and embedded on both sides of the opening groove, so that the outer side surface of the crossbeam 210 fits with the inner side surface of the side end 112, effectively improving the stability of the splicing of the pedal and the side panel.

[0053] Furthermore, a support sheet 211 and a pressing sheet 212 extend inward from the top of the cross beam 210, and a plate 220 is provided between the support sheet 211 and the pressing sheet 212. The plate is inserted between the support sheet and the pressing sheet, and the ends of the front and rear cross beams are embedded in the side ends. The cross beams are limited in the front and rear directions by the side side ends to ensure that the plate does not loosen and fall off. At the same time, a reinforcing rib 213 is provided under the support sheet to further improve the support of the pedal.

[0054] In this embodiment, the crossbeam and the side panels are directly connected by means of the splicing notches of the crossbeam, the supporting notches at the side ends and the limiting notches. The notches are used to limit the positions in the horizontal directions, thereby ensuring the structural stability after splicing. After the splicing is completed, the side covers 240 are put on to prevent the top of the side panels from being exposed. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this also prevents the sharp edges of the top from cutting the user.

[0055] It should be noted that the present invention can also form a staircase with only one step by splicing the side panel group and the pedal. The technicians can set the number of steps of the present invention according to actual use requirements. For example, if the height of the bathtub is relatively low, such as 30 cm, it is not necessary to have two or more steps to enter and exit the bathtub. Therefore, the present invention also forms a staircase with one step by splicing the side panel group and the pedal according to actual conditions, which also falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the step structure and splicing method of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Without departing from the concept of the present invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the above structure and splicing method so that the present invention can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0057] The present invention also provides another embodiment. On the basis of the above embodiment, the open groove between adjacent steps is filled with a rubber strip for buffering or anti-collision. The rubber strip extends downward from the top of the open groove and extends over the pedals of the adjacent steps. The thickness of the rubber strip is higher than the depth of the open groove so that the rubber strip slightly protrudes from the open groove.

[0058] In this embodiment, the colloid is placed in the opening groove where there is no splicing piece inserted, so as to effectively prevent the groove edge or border of the opening groove from cutting the user or accumulating dust and debris. In this embodiment, the thickness of the rubber strip is set to be slightly higher than the depth of the opening groove so that the rubber strip slightly protrudes from the opening groove, that is, protrudes from the first side surface where the opening groove is located, so that friction and collision between adjacent steps can be prevented when the step is subjected to force, and a buffering and anti-collision effect can be played, and friction between steps can be prevented, thereby avoiding abnormal noise and having a mute effect.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment, the number of steps is two to five. The height difference between adjacent steps of the steps is 15-30 cm. The depth of the steps is 20-33 cm, and the width is 55-120 cm. The height of a bathtub is usually 40-60 cm, which is more comfortable. According to this height, a four-step step is configured, and the height difference between the steps is 18 cm. The user obtains better comfort, and the splicing between the steps also has higher stability.

[0060] The present invention splices adjacent steps, uses open grooves between side panels to form splicing grooves, inserts splicing pieces from the bottom of the steps and / or side panels for splicing, locks adjacent side panels and / or adjacent steps, makes the splicing stable and strong, and improves the stability and support of the entire ladder.

[0061] The above disclosure is only one or more preferred embodiments of the present invention, which are used to help understand the inventive concept of the technical solution, and is not intended to limit the present invention in other forms. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other equivalent or customary replacement schemes based on the features defined by the present invention, which still fall within the scope of the present invention.
