Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathtub technology, specifically a bathtub that integrates an insulated cover and a gazebo. Background Technology

[0002] A bathtub is an important facility in the bathroom, which can not only meet daily bathing needs, but also enhance the quality of life.

[0003] For example, patent application number 202320396531.1 published on the China Patent Network, entitled "A Bathtub Insulation Cover and Bathtub," describes a bathtub insulation cover comprising a cover body that can cover the top of the bathtub body, and a temperature digital display module. This module includes a module body with a digital display and a temperature measuring part. The temperature digital display module is mounted on the cover body, and the digital display part is visible from outside the cover body. The temperature measuring part of the module is used to detect the temperature of the water inside the bathtub, which is then displayed by the digital display part. This invention allows users to know the water temperature in the bathtub while using the bathtub insulation cover for insulation.

[0004] However, the existing bathtub insulation covers are generally set up independently. Users need to remove the insulation cover when using the bathtub. The insulation cover is large in size, and additional storage requires a lot of space. At the same time, the operation is time-consuming and laborious, affecting the convenience of use.

[0005] Therefore, the bathtub, which integrates the insulation cover and the gazebo, needs to be redesigned and modified. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, the present invention aims to provide a bathtub that integrates an insulation cover and a gazebo, which has the advantage of improved ease of use. It solves the problems of existing bathtubs where the insulation cover is generally set separately, requiring users to disassemble it when using the bathtub. The insulation cover is also large in size, requiring a lot of space for storage, and the operation is time-consuming and laborious, thus affecting the ease of use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a bathtub with an integrated heat-insulating cover and a gazebo, comprising a bathtub body; The bathtub body is equipped with an insulated cover plate on top. The insulated cover plate is made of transparent insulation material. The bottom shape of the insulated cover plate can fit snugly against the top of the bathtub body. Sleeves are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bathtub body. Guide rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the insulated cover plate. The bottom end of the guide rod passes through the sleeve and is slidably connected to the sleeve. The insulated cover plate can be vertically raised and lowered at the top of the bathtub body via the guide rods.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both sides of the bathtub body are movably connected to a fork via pins, and both sides of the bottom of the heat-insulating cover are fixedly connected to a bracket. The bracket is located inside the fork, and a sliding rod located inside the fork is fixedly connected to the outside of the bracket. The sliding rod is slidably connected to the fork.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a connecting frame is fixedly connected to the back of the bathtub body, and a screw is movably connected to the inside of the connecting frame via a bearing. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw, and a push rod is fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the threaded sleeve. The side of the push rod away from the threaded sleeve extends into the interior of the shift fork, and the shift fork and the push rod are slidably connected.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame, and the output end of the drive motor extends through the interior of the connecting frame and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, movable blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the heat-insulating cover plate, and a swing rod is movably connected to the surface of the movable block via a pin. A baffle is fixedly connected to the side of the swing rod away from the movable block, and the baffle is made of heat-insulating material.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a traction rope is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sleeve, the traction rope is elastic, a force-bearing plate is fixedly connected to the side of the swing arm near the movable block, and the end of the traction rope away from the sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer side of the force-bearing plate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a limiting plate located outside the movable block is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rod, and the side of the limiting plate away from the guide rod extends to the outside of the force plate and contacts the surface of the force plate.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a roller is movably connected to the side of the limiting plate away from the guide rod via a pin, and the traction rope is hung on the surface of the roller and slidably connected to the roller.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This invention achieves an integrated lifting and lowering design of the heat preservation cover by vertically sliding the transparent heat preservation cover to the top of the bathtub body through guide rods and sleeves. While ensuring heat preservation performance, it allows light to pass through, enhancing the visual transparency during bathing and avoiding the closed and oppressive feeling of traditional non-transparent heat preservation covers. The cover can be lifted and lowered vertically without disassembly, solving the problem of traditional heat preservation covers taking up space and making operation more convenient.

[0016] 2. This invention transforms the lifting action into mechanical transmission, reducing the shaking during the lifting of the cover plate and improving stability. By transmitting power through a rigid connection, it avoids uneven force on the cover plate during lifting, which could lead to displacement or jamming, thus ensuring smooth operation.

[0017] 3. This invention utilizes the self-locking characteristic of threaded transmission to allow the cover plate to be suspended at any height, preventing accidental slippage. It converts the vertical movement of the threaded sleeve into the rotational movement of the shift fork, simplifying the power transmission path and improving transmission efficiency.

[0018] 4. This invention allows users to control the lifting and lowering of the cover plate using a switch, completely replacing manual operation, saving time and effort. At the same time, the power output is direct and efficient, reducing energy loss and noise.

[0019] 5. This invention extends the bathtub's function to sunshade and rain protection scenarios by forming a side enclosure when the cover is raised, thus improving the outdoor user experience. In non-bathing conditions, the baffle can help the cover reduce heat loss and enhance the overall heat preservation effect.

[0020] 6. This invention automatically adjusts the tension when the cover plate is raised and lowered, and synchronously controls the opening angle of the baffle. No additional operation is required. It converts the tension of the traction rope into the rotation torque of the swing arm, thereby realizing the automatic linkage of the baffle opening / closing.

[0021] 7. The present invention limits the position of the swing arm by having the limiting plate contact the force plate, ensuring that the baffle is locked when it is unfolded to the vertical state, preventing the structure from shaking due to wind or vibration, and the physical limitation prevents the swing arm from rotating excessively, protecting the mechanical structure from impact damage.

[0022] 8. This invention adds rollers to the outside of the limiting plate to guide the traction rope, reducing the frictional resistance between the traction rope and the limiting plate, making the tension transmission smoother, reducing wear, increasing the service life of the traction rope, and reducing operating noise.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the bathtub with an integrated heat-insulating cover and pavilion provided by the present invention includes a bathtub body 1; The top of the bathtub body 1 is equipped with an insulated cover plate 2. The insulated cover plate 2 is made of transparent insulation material. The bottom shape of the insulated cover plate 2 can fit into the top of the bathtub body 1. The left and right sides of the bathtub body 1 are fixedly connected with sleeves 3. The bottom sides of the insulated cover plate 2 are fixedly connected with guide rods 4. The bottom end of the guide rod 4 passes through the sleeve 3 and is slidably connected to the sleeve 3. The insulated cover plate 2 can be vertically raised and lowered at the top of the bathtub body 1 through the guide rods 4.

[0027] refer to Figure 3 Both sides of the bathtub body 1 are movably connected to the fork 5 via pins. Both sides of the bottom of the heat-insulating cover plate 2 are fixedly connected to the bracket 6. The bracket 6 is located inside the fork 5. The outer side of the bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 7 located inside the fork 5. The slide rod 7 is slidably connected to the fork 5.

[0028] As a technical optimization of the present invention, by converting the lifting action into mechanical transmission, the shaking during the lifting of the cover plate is reduced and the stability is improved. Power is transmitted through rigid connection to avoid uneven force on the cover plate during lifting, which may cause deviation or jamming, and ensure smooth operation.

[0029] refer to Figure 3 A connecting frame 8 is fixedly connected to the back of the bathtub body 1. A screw 9 is movably connected to the inside of the connecting frame 8 through a bearing. A threaded sleeve 10 is threaded to the surface of the screw 9. Push rods 11 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the threaded sleeve 10. The side of the push rod 11 away from the threaded sleeve 10 extends into the inside of the shift fork 5. The shift fork 5 and the push rod 11 are slidably connected.

[0030] As a technical optimization of the present invention, by utilizing the self-locking characteristic of the threaded transmission, the cover plate can be suspended at any height to prevent accidental slippage, and the vertical movement of the threaded sleeve 10 is converted into the rotational movement of the shift fork 5, simplifying the power transmission path and improving transmission efficiency.

[0031] refer to Figure 3 A drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 8. The output end of the drive motor 12 passes through the interior of the connecting frame 8 and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the screw 9.

[0032] As a technical optimization of the present invention, the user can control the lifting and lowering of the cover plate by using a switch, which completely replaces manual operation, saves time and effort, and provides direct and efficient power output, reducing energy loss and noise.

[0033] refer to Figure 6 Movable blocks 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the heat insulation cover plate 2. A swing rod 14 is movably connected to the surface of the movable block 13 through a pin. A baffle 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the swing rod 14 away from the movable block 13. The baffle 15 is made of heat insulation material.

[0034] As a technical optimization of the present invention, when the cover is raised, the baffle 15 forms a side enclosure, expanding the bathtub function to sunshade and rain protection scenarios, improving the outdoor use experience. In the non-bathing state, the baffle 15 can help the cover reduce heat loss and enhance the overall heat preservation effect.

[0035] refer to Figure 6 A traction rope 16 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sleeve 3. The traction rope 16 is elastic. A force plate 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the swing arm 14 near the movable block 13. The end of the traction rope 16 away from the sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the force plate 17.

[0036] As a technical optimization of the present invention, by automatically adjusting the tension when the cover plate is raised and lowered, the opening angle of the baffle 15 is controlled synchronously, without additional operation, and the tension of the traction rope 16 is converted into the rotational torque of the swing rod 14, so as to realize the automatic linkage of the opening / closing of the baffle 15.

[0037] refer to Figure 6 A limiting plate 18 located outside the movable block 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the guide rod 4. The side of the limiting plate 18 away from the guide rod 4 extends to the outside of the force plate 17 and contacts the surface of the force plate 17.

[0038] As a technical optimization of the present invention, the position of the swing arm 14 is limited by the contact between the limiting plate 18 and the force plate 17, ensuring that the baffle 15 is locked when it is unfolded to the vertical state, preventing the structure from shaking due to wind or vibration, and the physical limitation avoids excessive rotation of the swing arm 14, protecting the mechanical structure from impact damage.

[0039] refer to Figure 6 A roller 19 is movably connected to the side of the limiting plate 18 away from the guide rod 4 via a pin, and the traction rope 16 is hung on the surface of the roller 19 and slidably connected to the roller 19.

[0040] As a technical optimization of the present invention, by adding a roller 19 to the outside of the limiting plate 18 to guide the traction rope 16, the frictional resistance between the traction rope 16 and the limiting plate 18 is reduced, making the tension transmission smoother, reducing wear, increasing the service life of the traction rope 16, and reducing operating noise.

[0041] The working principle and usage process of this invention: The user starts the transmission motor 12 by controlling the switch. The motor output shaft drives the screw 9 to rotate within the connecting frame 8. The forward rotation of the screw 9 drives the screw sleeve 10 to move vertically along its surface. When the screw sleeve 10 moves, the push rods 11 on both sides follow the horizontal displacement. The push rods 11 insert into the inside of the shift fork 5, and its horizontal movement is converted into the rotation of the shift fork 5 around the pin shaft. When the screw sleeve 10 moves upward, the push rods 11 push the shift fork 5 downward, causing the end of the shift fork 5 to swing inward; conversely, it unfolds. The inward swing of the shift fork 5 cooperates with the slide rod 7 on the bracket 6 through its inner sliding groove, driving the bracket 6 to move vertically as a whole. The bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the heat insulation cover 2, thereby pulling the guide rod 4 at the bottom of the cover to slide within the sleeve 3, realizing the smooth lifting and lowering of the cover. When the heat insulation cover 2 descends, it completely fits the top of the bathtub body 1 to form a sealed heat insulation. When it rises, it hangs above the bathtub body. To form a top shield, as the guide rod 4 rises, the limiting plate 18 fixed to the surface of the guide rod 4 moves upward synchronously. The roller 19 on the outside of the limiting plate 18 pulls the elastic traction rope 16, which applies tension to the force plate 17 on the swing rod 14. This tension drives the swing rod 14 to rotate outward around the pin axis of the movable block 13, causing the baffle 15 to unfold from a folded state to a vertical state, forming the side enclosure structure of the pavilion. At the same time, the transparent heat-insulating cover 2 is exposed to the external environment, allowing sunlight to penetrate. When the guide rod 4 rises to its highest point, the limiting plate 18 pulls the traction rope 16 to its maximum tension through the roller 19. At this time, the baffle 15 is fully unfolded and perpendicular to the cover, forming a complete pavilion space. During the descent, the traction rope 16 elastically contracts, and the swing rod 14 is driven by gravity to pull the baffle 15 inward until the cover is closed, at which point the baffle 15 returns to a horizontally stacked state.

[0042] In summary, this bathtub with an integrated insulated cover and gazebo achieves a unified lifting design by vertically sliding the transparent insulated cover to the top of the bathtub body via guide rod 4 and sleeve 3. It ensures heat preservation while allowing light to pass through, enhancing the visual openness during bathing and avoiding the closed and oppressive feeling of traditional non-transparent insulated covers. The cover can be vertically raised and lowered without disassembly, solving the space-consuming problem of traditional insulated covers and making operation more convenient.
