[0028] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the utility model provides a foldable bath rack, which includes a bath rack body 1000 and a foot rack 2000 detachably connected to one end of the bath rack body 1000, the bath rack body 1000 includes a first frame 1100, a second frame 1200, and a folding assembly 1300 connecting the first frame 1100 and the second frame 1200, and the first frame 1100 and the second frame 1200 are unfolded or folded by the folding assembly 1300;
[0029] The folding assembly 1300 includes a first folding portion 1110 disposed on the first frame 1100, a second folding portion 1210 disposed on the second frame 1200, and a locking member 1310. A first limiting hole 1111 is disposed in the first folding portion 1110, a first positioning block 1112 is formed in the first limiting hole 1111, a second limiting hole 1211 corresponding to the first limiting hole 1111 is disposed in the second folding portion 1210, a second positioning block 1212 is formed in the second limiting hole 1211 in a direction close to the first positioning block 1112, and the locking member 1310 penetrates the first limiting hole 1111 and the second limiting hole 1211, and enables the first folding portion 1110 and the second folding portion 1210 to be rotatably connected.
[0030] When the first folding portion 1110 and the second folding portion 1210 rotate relatively until the first frame 1100 and the second frame 1200 are unfolded, the second locking block 1212 abuts against the first locking block 1112 and locks the first frame 1100 and the second frame 1200 .
[0031] This embodiment provides a foldable bath rack, which has a delicate structure, is easy to carry, and can stably support when in use, thus meeting various needs of users when bathing.
[0032] In this embodiment, the folding bath rack mainly includes a bath rack body and a foot rack. The bath rack body is further composed of a first frame body, a second frame body and a folding assembly connecting the first frame body and the second frame body. This design allows the bath rack body to be easily unfolded and folded, thereby adapting to different usage environments and storage requirements.
[0033] In this embodiment, a first folding portion is provided on the first frame, and a second folding portion is provided on the second frame. The two parts are rotatably connected by a locking member, thereby realizing the folding and unfolding functions of the bath rack body. At the same time, in order to ensure stability in the unfolded state, a first limiting hole is provided in the first folding portion, and a first positioning block is formed therein. Correspondingly, a second limiting hole corresponding to the first limiting hole is provided in the second folding portion, and a second positioning block is formed therein in a direction close to the first positioning block. When the first folding portion and the second folding portion are relatively rotated until the bath rack body is fully unfolded, the second positioning block will abut against the first positioning block, thereby effectively locking the first frame and the second frame, and ensuring the stability of the bath rack when in use.
[0034] The advantage of this folding bath rack is that it has a compact structure and a small volume after folding, which is easy to carry and store. At the same time, the unfolded bath rack has a stable structure and can bear a certain weight, meeting the needs of users to place toiletries and support the body. In addition, due to the detachable tripod design, users can choose whether to install the tripod according to actual needs, which further increases the flexibility and applicability of the bath rack.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a flexible seat 1320 is provided on the first frame 1100 and the second frame 1200, and the seat 1320 is deformed as the first frame 1100 and the second frame 1200 are unfolded or folded, wherein the seat 1320 is provided with a corrugated portion 1321, and the corrugated portion 1321 is configured on the folding component 1300 and is deformed as the first frame 1100 and the second frame 1200 are unfolded or folded.
[0036] Specifically, the foldable bath rack is provided with a flexible seat on the first frame and the second frame. This design enables the user to have a comfortable and stable seat when bathing, greatly improving the convenience and comfort of bathing. When the bath rack body is in a folded state, the seat can be deformed accordingly, maintaining its flexibility and foldability, and does not affect the overall carrying and storage of the bath rack. When the bath rack body is unfolded, the seat returns to its original state, providing the user with a flat and stable sitting surface.
[0037] In this embodiment, the seat is also provided with corrugated parts, which are cleverly arranged on the folding assembly. This design enables the seat to better adapt to the deformation of the first frame and the second frame during folding and unfolding, and maintain the stability of its shape and function. At the same time, the presence of the corrugated parts also increases the elasticity and durability of the seat, allowing it to withstand more use pressure and wear, and prolong the service life of the bath rack.
[0038] The advantage of this improved folding bath rack is that it not only inherits the advantages of traditional folding bath racks that are easy to carry and store, but also innovates in user experience. By setting up a flexible seat and a corrugated part, the bath rack can provide users with a more comfortable and convenient bathing experience while providing stable support. Whether at home, on a trip, or in other occasions where temporary bathing is required, this improved folding bath rack can bring great convenience and comfort to users.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a thermometer 1224 is disposed on the second frame 1200 .
[0040] Specifically, the setting of the thermometer allows users to easily obtain water temperature information when bathing. By observing and reading the data on the thermometer, users can accurately judge whether the temperature of the bath water is appropriate, thereby avoiding discomfort or safety hazards caused by too high or too low water temperature.
[0041] In addition, the thermometer is designed with user convenience in mind. It is cleverly mounted on the second rack, which does not take up too much space or affect the overall aesthetics of the shower rack. At the same time, the thermometer's reading method is simple and clear, allowing users to easily obtain the information they need without additional operation or adjustment.
[0042] The benefits of this improved folding bath rack are manifold. First, it improves the safety of bathing. By accurately grasping the water temperature information, users can avoid problems such as scalding or colds caused by improper water temperature and ensure their own health and safety. Secondly, it improves the comfort of bathing. Users can adjust the temperature of the bath water according to their preferences and needs, and enjoy a more comfortable and pleasant bathing experience. Finally, it also enhances the practicality and functionality of the bath rack. The presence of the thermometer makes the bath rack not just a simple bathing tool, but also a smart device that can provide a full range of services and meet the various needs of users.
[0043] In other embodiments (not shown in the figure), a special hook is provided on one side or the top of the bath rack for hanging the shower head. This makes it convenient for users to adjust the position and height of the shower head during bathing, making bathing more flexible and comfortable; a storage basket is added under or on the side of the bath rack to store toiletries, such as shampoo, shower gel, soap, etc. This keeps the bathing space tidy and convenient for users to take the required items at any time; a massage pad or massage point is added to the seat to provide the function of relieving muscle fatigue. Users can enjoy the comfort brought by massage during bathing and further relax their body and mind; anti-skid pads are provided at the bottom of the seat and the footrest to increase the friction with the ground, prevent the bath rack from sliding or tipping over during use, and ensure the safety of users; integrated intelligent control systems, such as Bluetooth connection, voice control, etc., allow users to control the functions of the bath rack, such as water temperature adjustment, shower head switch, etc., through mobile phones or other smart devices, to improve the convenience and intelligence level of use.
[0044] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in the present embodiment, a first embedded block 1113 is formed on the first folding portion 1110, and at least one first embedded groove 1114 is provided at the lower end of the first frame body 1100, the first embedded groove 1114 is provided to correspond to the shape of the first embedded block 1113, a first fixing hole 1115 is formed in the first embedded block 1113, and a second fixing hole 1116 is formed in the first embedded groove 1114, wherein the first folding portion 1110 and the first frame body 1100 are fixedly connected via the first embedded block 1113, the first embedded groove 1114 and the first fixing member.
[0045] Specifically, a first embedded block is formed on the first folding portion, which makes the first folding portion more complete in structure and also facilitates the subsequent connection with the first frame. At the lower end of the first frame, at least one first embedded groove is provided, and the shape of these embedded grooves matches the first embedded block to ensure that the two can be tightly embedded together.
[0046] In order to further enhance the stability of the connection, a first fixing hole is formed in the first embedded block, and a second fixing hole is formed in the corresponding first embedded groove. The arrangement of these two fixing holes enables the first folding portion and the first frame to be firmly connected together by a first fixing member (such as a screw, a pin, etc.). This connection method is not only simple in structure, but also reliable in connection effect, and can effectively prevent the bath rack from becoming loose or deformed during use.
[0047] The benefits of this improved folding bath rack are manifold. First, through the interlocking design of the first embedded block and the first embedded groove, the structure of the bath rack is more stable and can withstand greater weight and impact, thereby extending the service life of the bath rack. Secondly, this connection method is easy to disassemble and assemble, and the user can easily disassemble or reassemble the bath rack as needed, which is convenient for carrying and storage. In addition, due to the embedded design, the appearance of the bath rack is neater and more beautiful, which meets the aesthetic needs of modern homes.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first folding portion and the first frame are fixedly connected by the first embedded block, the first embedded groove and the first fixing member. In other embodiments (not shown in the figure), the first folding portion and the first frame are not limited to being fixedly connected by the first embedded block, the first embedded groove and the first fixing member, and can also be configured as a snap connection, welding, riveting and any other connection method that meets the requirements.
[0049] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in the present embodiment, a second embedded block 1213 is formed on the second folding portion 1210, and at least one second embedded groove 1214 is provided at the lower end of the second frame body 1200, the second embedded groove 1214 is configured to correspond to the shape of the second embedded block 1213, a third fixing hole 1215 is formed in the second embedded block 1213, and a fourth fixing hole 1216 is formed in the second embedded groove 1214, wherein the second folding portion 1210 and the second frame body 1200 are fixedly connected via the second embedded block 1213, the second embedded groove 1214 and the second fixing member.
[0050] Specifically, a second embedded block is formed on the second folded portion, which makes the second folded portion more stable in structure and provides effective support for the connection with the second frame. At the same time, at the lower end of the second frame, at least one second embedded groove is set, and the shape of these embedded grooves is precisely matched with the second embedded block to ensure that the two can be tightly embedded together to form a stable connection structure.
[0051] In order to further enhance the stability of the connection, we designed a third fixing hole in the second embedded block, and formed a fourth fixing hole in the corresponding second embedded groove. The arrangement of these two fixing holes enables us to firmly connect the second folding part and the second frame body together through a second fixing member (such as a screw, a pin, etc.). This connection method is not only simple and effective, but also reliable, and can ensure that the bath rack will not become loose or deformed during use.
[0052] This improved folding bath rack brings many benefits. First, through the interlocking design of the second embedded block and the second embedded groove, the structure of the bath rack is more stable and can withstand greater weight and impact, thereby extending the service life of the bath rack. Secondly, this connection method greatly simplifies the disassembly and assembly process of the bath rack. Users can easily disassemble or reassemble the bath rack as needed, which is convenient for carrying and storage. In addition, due to the embedded design, the appearance of the bath rack is neater and more beautiful, which meets the aesthetic needs of modern homes.
[0053] In this embodiment, the second folding portion and the second frame are fixedly connected by the second embedded block, the second embedded groove and the second fixing member. In other embodiments (not shown in the figure), the first folding portion and the first frame are not limited to being fixedly connected by the first embedded block, the first embedded groove and the first fixing member, and can also be configured as a snap connection, welding, riveting and any other connection method that meets the requirements.
[0054] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in the present embodiment, a first snap-fitting ring 1117 and a first accommodating portion 1118 are formed on the first folding portion 1110, and the first accommodating portion 1118 is configured to accommodate a second snap-fitting ring 1217; a second snap-fitting ring 1217 and a second accommodating portion 1218 are formed on the second folding portion 1210, and the second accommodating portion 1218 is configured to accommodate the first snap-fitting ring 1117, wherein the second snap-fitting ring 1217 is arranged in the first accommodating portion 1118, and the first snap-fitting ring 1117 is arranged in the second accommodating portion 1218.
[0055] Specifically, a first snap ring and a first receiving portion are formed on the first folding portion. The first snap ring serves as a fixed structure and provides a stable support point for the connection. The first receiving portion is configured to accommodate the second snap ring. This design enables the second folding portion to be tightly embedded therein to form a stable connection.
[0056] At the same time, a second snap ring and a second receiving portion are formed on the second folding portion. The second snap ring corresponds to the first snap ring, and through the cooperation of the two, a tight connection between the first folding portion and the second folding portion is achieved. The second receiving portion is configured to accommodate the first snap ring, and this design enables the first folding portion to be smoothly embedded therein, further enhancing the stability of the connection.
[0057] In actual application, the second snap ring is arranged in the first receiving portion, and the first snap ring is arranged in the second receiving portion. This configuration allows the folding bath rack to remain stable during the unfolding and folding process, and is not prone to loosening or misalignment. At the same time, the combination of the snap ring and the receiving portion also has a certain degree of flexibility, which can adapt to the adjustment of different angles and forces, so that the user can experience a smoother and more comfortable use experience during the operation.
[0058] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in the present embodiment, a first inner ring 1119 is formed on the first snap ring 1117 in a direction approaching the second snap ring 1217, the first inner ring 1119 is configured to allow entry into the second snap ring 1217, a first snap protrusion 1120 is formed on the first inner ring 1119, and a second snap protrusion 1219 is provided in the second snap ring 1217, wherein the first snap ring 1117 and the second snap ring 1217 are movably connected via the first inner ring 1119, the first snap protrusion 1120 and the second snap protrusion 1219.
[0059] Specifically, we cleverly designed a first inner ring in the direction from the first snap ring to the second snap ring. This inner ring is configured to allow entry into the interior of the second snap ring to form a tight fitting structure. This design allows the first snap ring and the second snap ring to fit together more closely when connected, enhancing the overall stability.
[0060] In order to further improve the firmness of the connection, we formed a first buckle protrusion on the first inner ring. These buckle protrusions have a certain elasticity and toughness, and can be firmly embedded in the second snap ring to form an effective snap connection. At the same time, corresponding second buckle protrusions are also set in the second snap ring, which cooperate with the first buckle protrusions to form a stable active connection structure.
[0061] Through this active connection method combining the inner ring and the buckle protrusion, the first buckle ring and the second buckle ring can be quickly and firmly connected. The user only needs to simply insert the first inner ring into the second buckle ring and ensure that the first buckle protrusion and the second buckle protrusion are engaged with each other to complete the connection process. This connection method is not only simple and convenient to operate, but also has a reliable connection effect, which can effectively prevent the bath rack from loosening or falling off during use.
[0062] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the second locking ring 1217 is formed with a second inner ring 1220 inwardly, and the second inner ring 1220 is configured to allow entry into the first inner ring 1119, and the inner ring is formed with a second locking block 1212 in a direction close to the first inner ring 1119, and a first locking block 1112 is formed in the first inner ring 1119, wherein at least a portion of the first locking block 1112 is allowed to abut against the second locking block 1212.
[0063] Specifically, a second inner ring is formed inwardly of the second snap ring, and this design makes the second snap ring more complete in structure, and also provides the possibility of close cooperation with the first inner ring. The second inner ring is configured to allow entry into the first inner ring, and this nested structure enables the first snap ring and the second snap ring to form a more compact and stable structure when connected.
[0064] In order to further enhance the stability of the connection, a second blocking block is formed in the direction of the second inner ring approaching the first inner ring. These blocking blocks are designed with certain geometric shapes and sizes, and can form an effective match with the first blocking blocks in the first inner ring. At the same time, corresponding first blocking blocks are also formed in the first inner ring, and these blocking blocks are at least partially allowed to abut against the second blocking blocks.
[0065] In actual use, when the second snap ring is connected to the first snap ring, the second inner ring will enter the first inner ring, and the second clamping block will abut against the first clamping block. This abutment mechanism not only increases the stability of the connection, but also prevents the bath rack from accidentally loosening or deforming during use.
[0066] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a first limiting hole 1111 is provided in the first inner ring 1119, and a second limiting hole 1211 is provided in the second inner ring 1220, and the locking member 1310 passes through the second limiting hole 1211 and the first limiting hole 1111 in sequence, wherein the first folding portion 1110 and the second folding portion 1210 are rotationally connected through the locking member 1310.
[0067] Specifically, a first limiting hole is carefully arranged in the first inner ring, and this design enables the locking member to accurately pass through and be fixed at this position, providing a stable basis for the subsequent rotation connection. At the same time, corresponding second limiting holes are also arranged in the second inner ring, and these limiting holes correspond to the first limiting holes in position, and together provide a path for the locking member to pass through.
[0068] In actual application, the locking member is designed to pass through the second limiting hole and the first limiting hole in sequence. This step is simple and direct. The user only needs to align the locking member with the limiting hole and gently push it in to complete the installation. In this way, a tight rotation connection is formed between the first folding part and the second folding part. This connection is not only stable and reliable, but also allows the two to rotate freely within a certain range, thereby realizing the folding and unfolding functions of the bath rack.
[0069] like Figures 5 to 9As shown, in this embodiment, at least one fixing protrusion 1311 and a locking protrusion 1312 are formed on the locking member 1310, and a fixing snap ring 1221 is formed in the second inner ring 1220, and the fixing snap ring 1221 corresponds to the fixing protrusion 1311, wherein the locking member 1310 and the second folding portion 1210 form a snap connection;
[0070] At least one locking block 1121 is formed in the first inner ring 1119, and the locking block 1121 corresponds to the locking protrusion 1312. A first slope 1313 is formed on the locking protrusion 1312, and a second slope 1122 is formed on the locking block 1121, and the second slope 1122 corresponds to the first slope 1313, wherein the locking member 1310, the first folding portion 1110 and the second folding portion 1210 form a lock.
[0071] Specifically, at least one fixing protrusion and a locking protrusion are formed on the locking member. The shapes and sizes of these protrusions are carefully designed to ensure that they can accurately match other components. The fixing protrusion corresponds to the fixing snap ring in the second inner ring. When the locking member is inserted into the second limiting hole, the fixing protrusion will fit tightly with the fixing snap ring to form a stable fixed connection. This design makes it difficult for the locking member to loosen or fall off when subjected to force, thereby enhancing the stability of the bath rack structure.
[0072] At the same time, the locking protrusion on the locking member corresponds to the locking block in the first inner ring. These locking protrusions and locking blocks are designed with specific shapes and angles to achieve the function of snap connection. A first slope is formed on the locking protrusion, and a corresponding second slope is formed on the locking block. When the locking member is pushed into place, the first slope and the second slope will contact each other and generate a certain friction force, so that the locking member can be firmly fixed in the first inner ring. This design not only enhances the stability of the connection, but also makes the operation smoother and more labor-saving.
[0073] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a first tooth portion 1123 is provided at one end of the first inner ring 1119 close to the second inner ring 1220, and a second tooth portion 1222 is provided at one end of the second inner ring 1220 close to the first inner ring 1119, and the second tooth portion 1222 and the first tooth portion 1123 are meshed with each other.
[0074] Specifically, we carefully set the first teeth at the end of the first inner ring close to the second inner ring. These teeth are arranged in a certain arrangement and spacing to form a unique meshing structure. At the same time, a corresponding second tooth is also set at the end of the second inner ring close to the first inner ring. The shape, size and arrangement of the second teeth match the first teeth, so that the two can mesh with each other.
[0075] In actual application, when the first inner ring is connected to the second inner ring, the first tooth portion and the second tooth portion will contact each other and mesh tightly. This meshing mechanism enables the first folded portion and the second folded portion to form a more stable and firm structure when connected. Due to the existence of the tooth portion, even under the action of external force, the two inner rings are not easy to separate or loosen, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the bath rack.
