A safe and protective newborn bathing and care device

Abstract

This invention discloses a safe and protective newborn bathing and care device in the field of bathing and care technology, including a bathtub with a reclining part installed on it via a limiting member. The reclining part includes a base plate, with a seat cushion fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the base plate along its length direction, and an adjustable-angle bath support frame provided at the other end of the upper surface of the base plate along its length direction via a transmission part. The seat cushion and the bath support frame are rotatably connected. Protective components are provided on both sides of the bath support frame along its width direction. The protective components include two L-shaped protective rods that can rotate on the bath support frame. The L-shaped protective rods can rotate 90 degrees relative to the bath support frame via an adjustment part. When the tilt angle of the bath support frame is increased, the L-shaped protective rods automatically rotate and wrap around the baby's armpits. The larger tilt angle provides more precise protection, and when the baby is lying flat, it forms a handrail for protection, taking into account the protection needs of different bathing and care scenarios, significantly reducing the risk of the baby slipping and improving the safety of use.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathing and care technology, specifically to a safe and protective newborn bathing and care device. Background Technology

[0002] Newborns have soft bodies and weak self-protection abilities, so their lying position needs to be adjusted according to different bathing scenarios: when giving a full bath and washing the torso, the bathing stand should be laid almost flat so that most of the baby's torso is immersed in warm water for comfort, avoiding raising the upper body too high, which may cause the baby to get cold and cry; when washing the hair and cleaning the face, the angle of the bathing stand should be increased to raise the baby's head and prevent water from flowing into the mouth, nose and ears.

[0003] When the bracket is tilted at a greater angle to raise the baby's head, the baby is very likely to slide down the bracket due to its own weight. The existing bracket only has simple handrails, which cannot form a wrap-around restraint under the baby's armpits, making it difficult to effectively prevent the baby from slipping and posing a significant safety hazard.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a safe and protective newborn bathing and care device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a safe and protective newborn bathing and care device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a safe and protective newborn bathing and care device, including a bathtub, wherein the bathtub is equipped with a reclining bathing part by means of a limiting member; The reclining bath includes a base plate, a seat cushion is fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the base plate along its length, and an adjustable tilting bath bracket is provided at the other end of the upper surface of the base plate along its length via a transmission part. The seat cushion and the bath bracket are rotatably connected. The bath bracket is provided with protective components on both sides along its width direction. The protective components include two L-shaped protective rods that can rotate on the bath bracket. The L-shaped protective rods can rotate 90 degrees relative to the bath bracket via an adjustment part. When the bath tray is in a flat position, the L-shaped guardrail forms a protective armrest; when the bath tray is tilted, the L-shaped guardrail can rotate 90° relative to the bath tray and form a frame structure with the bath tray, encircling the baby under the armpits to prevent the baby from slipping off the bath tray and achieve safety protection.

[0007] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting part includes a sliding groove, which is opened along the length direction of the base plate and located in the middle of the base plate. A threaded rod is rotatably connected in the sliding groove, and a driving member is installed at the end of the threaded rod. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to a base, and toothed rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the base by sliding rods; The lower ends of both L-shaped protective rods are fixedly connected to gears that can be driven to rotate 90 degrees by a rack and pinion.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the driving component includes a rotating block, which is fixedly connected to the input end of the threaded rod.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the transmission part includes a slide groove formed on the base, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the slide groove, and the upper end of the rotating rod rotatably connected to the lower surface of the bath bracket. The base moves the slide groove toward the rotating rod; when the end of the slide groove away from the rotating rod abuts against the lower end of the rotating rod, the base continues to move toward the rotating rod, driving the rotating rod to swing around the hinge fulcrum, so as to adjust the rotation angle of the rotating rod, and thus adjust the tilt angle of the bath bracket.

[0010] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the limiting member includes a locking block fixed to the bottom of the bathtub, and the lower end of the base plate is provided with a locking groove that matches the locking block.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the protective component further includes two baffles, which are respectively disposed on both sides along the width direction of the bath bracket and correspondingly disposed below the ends of the L-shaped protective rods; the baffles are rotatably connected to the bath bracket, and the bath bracket is provided with a storage groove for storing the baffles.

[0012] As a further aspect of the present invention, the inner wall of the L-shaped protective bar is covered with a flexible anti-slip pad. The flexible anti-slip pad is used to fit the baby's armpit area to increase the contact friction and at the same time prevent the L-shaped protective bar from causing hard bumps and injuries to the baby.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the supporting surface of the reclining bath is provided with a rubber pad, which is attached to the surface of the reclining bath to improve the comfort of use and to provide anti-slip cushioning; the rubber pad can be provided in the reclining bath by means of adhesive or detachable installation.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. When the bath tray is tilted to a larger angle, the L-shaped protective bar automatically rotates and wraps around the baby's armpits. The protection is more precise when the tilt angle is larger, and it forms a handrail when the baby is lying flat. It takes into account the protection needs of different bathing and care scenarios, greatly reduces the risk of the baby slipping, and improves the safety of use.

[0015] 2. When adjusting the bathing angle, first switch the L-shaped protective bar from the protective armrest to the armpit-hugging position to limit the baby's position; only after limiting the baby's position should you adjust the reclining angle of the bath tray to achieve precise protection.

[0016] 3. Through the coordinated operation of the rotating block, threaded rod, base and slide, only the threaded rod needs to be driven to rotate to achieve the switching of the protection state by first driving the L-shaped protection rod, and then simultaneously achieve the tilting angle adjustment of the bath bracket. There is no need to set up multiple sets of drive mechanisms, nor is it necessary to manually operate the protection switching and tilting angle adjustment actions separately.

[0018] The attached diagram lists the components represented by each number as follows: Bathtub 1, base plate 2, seat cushion 3, bath bracket 4, sliding groove 5, threaded rod 6, base 7, L-shaped guard bar 8, slide bar 9, toothed rod 10, gear 11, rotating block 12, rotating rod 13, sliding groove 14, locking block 15, locking groove 16, stop bar 17. Detailed Implementation

[0019] Please see Figures 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution: a safe and protective newborn bathing and care device, including a bathtub 1, wherein the bathtub 1 is equipped with a reclining bathing part by a limiting member.

[0020] The bathing area includes a base plate 2. A cushion 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the base plate 2 along its length. An adjustable bath bracket 4 is provided at the other end of the upper surface of the base plate 2 along its length via a transmission part. The cushion 3 and the bath bracket 4 are rotatably connected.

[0021] The bath bracket 4 is provided with protective components on both sides along its width direction. The protective components include two L-shaped protective rods 8 that can rotate on the bath bracket 4. The L-shaped protective rods 8 can rotate 90 degrees relative to the bath bracket 4 through the adjustment part.

[0022] When the bath tray 4 is in a flat position, the L-shaped guardrail 8 forms a protective armrest; when the bath tray 4 is tilted, the L-shaped guardrail 8 can rotate 90° relative to the bath tray 4 and form a frame structure with the bath tray 4, which wraps around the baby's armpits to prevent the baby from slipping off the bath tray 4 and achieves safety protection.

[0023] Before use, first install the reclining bathing unit into the bathtub 1 using the limiting device to ensure a stable connection between the base plate 2 and the bathtub 1, preventing displacement during use. When it is necessary to give a newborn a full bath, wash the torso and limbs, or when the newborn is young and has weak muscle tone, adjust the transmission unit to bring the bath tray 4 into a near-flat position. At this time, the L-shaped protective bar 8 remains in its initial position, forming a protective armrest, which can provide basic protection for the baby's sides, allowing caregivers to easily wash and wipe the baby's entire body. When it is necessary to wash the newborn's hair, clean the face or neck, drive the L-shaped protective bar 8 to rotate relative to the bath tray 4 through the adjustment unit, and at the same time adjust the reclining angle of the bath tray 4 through the transmission unit to raise the baby's upper body and prevent water from flowing into the mouth, nose, or ear canal; during this process, the L-shaped protective bar 8 rotates 90° relative to the bath tray 4 simultaneously. Figure 2 As shown by the dotted L-shaped protective bar 8, it forms a frame structure with the bath tray 4, precisely encircling the baby under the armpits to provide reliable restraint and protection, preventing the baby from slipping off the bath tray 4 due to increased tilt angle and their own weight. After bathing, the reverse adjustment of the transmission unit returns the bath tray 4 to a flat position, while the L-shaped protective bar 8 rotates 90° in the opposite direction, returning to its protective armrest position, making it easy to remove the baby from the bathing area. The entire operation is smooth and convenient, requiring no separate operation of the protective components, reducing the workload of caregivers.

[0024] The bath tray 4 achieves simultaneous adjustment of tilt angle and safety protection, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of the protective components. When the bath tray 4 is tilted (for washing hair), the L-shaped protective bar 8 automatically rotates and wraps around the baby's armpits. The protection is more precise when the tilt angle is increased, and it forms a handrail for protection when the baby is lying flat. It takes into account the protection needs of different bathing and care scenarios, greatly reducing the risk of the baby slipping and improving the safety of use. The bath tray 4 can flexibly adjust its tilt angle. The flat position is suitable for full-body bathing and lying down for young babies. The tilt angle is increased to suit washing hair and cleaning the face, adapting to different bathing and care scenarios for newborns. At the same time, the seat cushion 3 is rotatably connected to the bath tray 4, conforming to the spinal development characteristics of newborns and improving the comfort of the baby lying down.

[0025] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting part includes a sliding groove 5, which is opened along the length direction of the base plate 2 and located in the middle of the base plate 2. A threaded rod 6 is rotatably connected in the sliding groove 5, and a driving member is installed at the end of the threaded rod 6.

[0026] The threaded rod 6 is threadedly connected to a base 7, and the two sides of the base 7 are fixedly connected to a toothed rod 10 via a slide rod 9.

[0027] The lower ends of both L-shaped protective rods 8 are fixedly connected to gears 11 that can be driven to rotate 90 degrees by rack 10.

[0028] When the tilt angle of the bath bracket 4 needs to be adjusted (e.g., increasing the tilt angle when washing hair), the drive component at the end of the threaded rod 6 is operated first, causing the threaded rod 6 in the sliding groove 5 to rotate. Since the base 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 6, and the sliding groove 5 acts as a limiting guide for the base 7, the rotation of the threaded rod 6 will drive the base 7 to make a linear displacement to the left along the length direction of the sliding groove 5 (i.e., the length direction of the base plate 2). When the base 7 moves, it will drive the rack 10 to move synchronously to the left through the sliding rods 9 on both sides. The lower ends of the two L-shaped protective rods 8 are fixed with gears 11 that mesh with the rack 10. When the rack 10 moves, it will drive the gears 11 to rotate ninety degrees, thereby causing the L-shaped protective rods 8 to rotate relative to the bath bracket 4. (Due to the presence of the slide groove 14, the base 7 will not drive the rotating rod 13 to rotate at this time, that is, the reclining angle of the bath bracket 4 will not change.) This realizes the switching of the L-shaped protective bar 8 from a protective armrest to an underarm embracing limit position; so that when it is necessary to adjust the bathing angle, the L-shaped protective bar 8 is switched from a protective armrest to an underarm embracing limit position to limit the baby; after the baby is limited, the reclining angle of the bath bracket 4 will be adjusted to achieve precise protection.

[0029] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the driving component includes a rotating block 12, which is fixedly connected to the input end of the threaded rod 6.

[0030] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the transmission part includes a slide groove 14 formed on the base, and a rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the slide groove 14. The upper end of the rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the bath bracket 4.

[0031] The base 7 drives the slide 14 to move toward the rotating rod 13; when the end of the slide 14 away from the rotating rod 13 abuts against the lower end of the rotating rod 13, the base 7 continues to move toward the rotating rod 13, driving the rotating rod 13 to swing around the hinge fulcrum to adjust the rotation angle of the rotating rod 13, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the bath bracket 4.

[0032] When the reclining angle of the bath bracket 4 needs to be adjusted, the operator manually rotates the rotating block 12 fixed to the input end of the threaded rod 6. The rotating block 12 drives the threaded rod 6 to rotate synchronously within the sliding groove 5 in the middle of the base plate 2. Since the base 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 6, and the sliding groove 5 acts as a limiting guide for the base 7, the rotation of the threaded rod 6 will drive the base 7 to make a linear displacement along the length direction of the sliding groove 5 (the length direction of the base plate 2) toward the rotating rod 13.

[0033] When the base 7 is displaced, it will simultaneously drive the sliding groove 14 opened on it to move toward the rotating rod 13. Initially, the lower end of the slide groove 14 and the rotating rod 13 are in a horizontal sliding connection. At this time, the rotating rod 13 maintains its initial angle, and the bath tray 4 does not change its tilt angle. When the end of the slide groove 14 away from the rotating rod 13 abuts against the lower end of the rotating rod 13, the base 7 continues to move towards the rotating rod 13. The abutting end will generate a thrust on the lower end of the rotating rod 13, driving the rotating rod 13 to swing around its hinge point with the slide groove 14, thereby changing the rotation angle of the rotating rod 13. Since the upper end of the rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the bath tray 4, the rotating rod 13 will push the bath tray 4 upward when it swings, realizing the precise adjustment of the tilt angle of the bath tray 4. When the bath tray 4 needs to be returned to the flat position, the rotating block 12 is rotated in the opposite direction, which drives the threaded rod 6 to rotate in the opposite direction. The base 7 and the slide 14 are displaced in the opposite direction, the thrust of the slide 14 on the rotating rod 13 disappears, and the rotating rod 13 swings in the opposite direction under the action of the weight of the bath tray 4, returning to the initial angle. The bath tray 4 is simultaneously restored to the flat position. The whole process is smooth and controllable, and is linked with the gear 10 and gear 11 of the adjustment part to synchronously complete the state switching of the L-shaped protective rod 8.

[0034] Through the coordinated operation of the rotating block 12, threaded rod 6, base 7 and slide groove 14, only the threaded rod 6 needs to be driven to rotate to first drive the L-shaped protective rod 8 to complete the protection state switch, and then simultaneously realize the tilt angle adjustment of the bath bracket 4. There is no need to set up multiple sets of drive mechanisms separately, nor is there a need for manual operation of protection switching and tilt angle adjustment. This effectively simplifies the operation process, improves the convenience of equipment operation and linkage reliability, and reduces the structural complexity and manufacturing cost of the equipment.

[0035] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the limiting member includes a locking block 15 fixed to the bottom of the bathtub 1, and the lower end of the base plate 2 is provided with a locking groove 16 adapted to the locking block 15.

[0036] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the protective component further includes two baffles 17, which are respectively disposed on both sides along the width direction of the bath bracket 4 and are correspondingly disposed below the end of the L-shaped protective rod 8; the baffles 17 are rotatably connected to the bath bracket 4, and the bath bracket 4 is provided with a storage groove for storing the baffles 17.

[0037] When the L-shaped guard bar 8 can rotate 90° relative to the bath bracket 4 and form a frame structure with the bath bracket 4, the stop bar 17 can be manually rotated into the storage slot for storage.

[0038] As a further aspect of the present invention, the inner wall of the L-shaped protective bar 8 is covered with a flexible anti-slip pad. The flexible anti-slip pad is used to fit the baby's armpit area to increase the contact friction and at the same time prevent the L-shaped protective bar 8 from causing hard bumps and injuries to the baby.

[0039] As a further embodiment of the present invention, the supporting surface of the reclining bath is provided with a rubber pad, which is attached to the surface of the reclining bath to improve the comfort of use and to provide anti-slip cushioning; the rubber pad can be provided in the reclining bath by means of adhesive or detachable installation.
