Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0034] In the embodiments of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment, a bathtub seat 1 includes a base plate 10 and a movable component 20, the movable component 20 includes a panel 21, a clamping column 22 and a connecting member 23, the connecting member 23 is slidably arranged on the base plate 10, a slot 231 is opened on the connecting member 23, the clamping column 22 is rotatably arranged in the slot 231, the panel 21 is arranged on the clamping column 22, the connecting member 23 is used to drive the panel 21 to slide relative to the base plate 10, and the clamping column 22 is used to drive the panel 21 to rotate relative to the base plate 10.

[0036] It should be noted that the bottom plate 10 has a rectangular structure, and the slide groove 11 is opened from one of the short sides of the bottom plate 10 to the center of the bottom plate 10. The depth of the slide groove 11 is consistent with the height of the connecting member 23, so that when the connecting member 23 slides in the slide groove 11, the connecting member 23 is flush with the bottom plate 10. Further, a slide hole 111 is opened at the bottom of the slide groove 11, and the slide hole 111 is opened along the direction of the slide groove 11. The connecting member 23 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 11, for example, by screws passing through the slide hole 111 to connect with the connecting member 23, so that the connecting member 23 can be prevented from being separated from the bottom plate 10 when sliding on the slide groove 11. Furthermore, a slot 231 is provided on the connecting member 23, and the slot 231 includes a cylindrical portion 2311 and an oblique circular portion 2312. The cylindrical portion 2311 is connected to the oblique circular portion 2312, so that the slot 231 is a T-shaped structure. The clamping column 22 is inserted into the T-shaped structure formed by the cylindrical portion 2311 and the oblique circular portion 2312, so that the clamping column 22 can rotate relative to the connecting member 23. Further, the panel 21 is arranged on the other end of the clamping column 22. When the connecting member 23 slides in the slide groove 11, the connecting member 23 will drive the panel 21 to slide, and at the same time Since the clamping column 22 can rotate relative to the connecting member 23, the panel 21 can also rotate relative to the connecting member 23. When the connecting member 23 is located in the slide groove 11 close to one of the short sides of the bottom plate 10, the panel 21 on the clamping column 22 will also be close to one of the short sides of the bottom plate 10. In this way, the user can directly sit on the panel 21 from outside the bathtub and then slide to the center position of the seat plate. In this way, the elderly, children, people with physical disabilities and people with limited mobility do not need to stand next to the bathtub and lift their feet to step into the bathtub to avoid the risk of falling.

[0037] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the diameter of the oblique rounded portion 2312 gradually decreases toward the cylindrical portion 2311 , and the diameter of the clamping column 22 is greater than the minimum diameter of the oblique rounded portion 2312 .

[0038] It should be noted that the connecting piece 23 is a cylindrical structure with a slot 231 provided inside. The slot 231 includes an oblique circular portion 2312 and a cylindrical portion 2311. The oblique circular portion 2312 is located on the cylindrical portion 2311, and the oblique circular portion 2312 is connected to the cylindrical portion 2311. The diameter of the oblique circular portion 2312 gradually decreases toward the direction approaching the cylindrical portion 2311, so that the oblique circular portion 2312 tends to a funnel-shaped structure. Furthermore, the diameter of the opening of the oblique circular portion 2312 is larger than the diameter of the clamping column 22, so that the clamping column 22 can be inserted into the oblique circular portion 2312. When the clamping column 22 is gradually inserted into the oblique circular portion 2312, since the diameter of the oblique circular portion 2312 gradually decreases toward the direction approaching the cylindrical portion 2311, the oblique circular portion 2312 gradually clamps the clamping column 22. Furthermore, a groove 221 is provided on the clamping column 22, and the groove 221 is provided in a ring shape on the outer wall of the clamping column 22. When the clamping column 22 is fully inserted into the slot 231, the minimum diameter position of the oblique rounded portion 2312 will be located in the groove 221 on the clamping column 22. Since the diameter of the clamping column 22 is larger than the minimum diameter of the oblique rounded portion 2312, the diameters of both sides of the groove 221 are larger than the minimum diameter of the oblique rounded portion 2312. In this way, the clamping column 22 cannot be separated from the connecting member 23 when rotating in the connecting member 23.

[0039] It should be noted that the post 22 is a plastic structure, and a cutout 222 is provided at one end of the post 22 away from the panel 21. The cutout 222 extends inward from the end of the post 22 to the groove 221, so that two semicircular structures are formed at one end of the post 22. In this way, when the post 22 is inserted into the slot 231, the two semicircular structures at the end of the post 22 first abut against the inner wall of the oblique circular portion 2312. As the post 22 is gradually inserted into the slot 231, the diameter of the oblique circular portion 2312 will gradually decrease and gradually squeeze the two semicircular structures of the post 22, so that the two semicircular structures at the end of the post 22 slowly come close to each other, so that the diameter of the end of the post 22 is smaller than the diameter of the oblique circular portion 2312. The smallest part of the oblique circular portion 2312 is located behind the groove 221, and the smallest part of the oblique circular portion 2312 cannot continue to squeeze the two semicircular structures at the end of the column 22. Due to the rebound characteristics of the plastic structure, the two semicircular structures at the end of the column 22 rebound to the original diameter, so that the two semicircular structures pop open in the cylindrical portion 2311, and the original diameter of the column 22 is greater than the smallest diameter of the oblique circular portion 2312, so that the groove 221 cannot be detached from the slot 231.

[0040] like Figure 5 , Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of support rings 211 are disposed on the panel 21 , and each support ring 211 is concentrically distributed with the clamping column 22 , and at least one support ring 211 abuts against the bottom plate 10 .

[0041] It should be noted that a plurality of support rings 211 are provided on one side of the panel 21 close to the post 22, each support ring 211 is raised relative to one side of the panel 21, and each support ring 211 is gradually distributed outward with the post 22 as the center, and each support ring 211 is in contact with the base plate 10. In this way, when the panel 21 slides on the base plate 10, the contact area between the panel 21 and the base plate 10 is reduced, thereby reducing the friction between the panel 21 and the base plate 10 to improve the sliding effect.

[0042] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 , Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, a convex strip 12 is further provided on the bottom plate 10 , and the convex strip 12 abuts against at least one supporting ring 211 .

[0043] It should be noted that two convex strips 12 are provided on the bottom plate 10, so that two raised strip structures are formed on the bottom plate 10, and the two convex strips 12 are respectively located on both sides of the slide groove 11, so that when the panel 21 slides on the bottom plate 10, the two convex strips 12 are in contact with at least one support ring 211, so that the bottom plate 10 is in contact with the panel 21 in a more balanced manner, and the friction between the panel 21 and the bottom plate 10 is further reduced, which helps to improve the smoothness of sliding. Furthermore, a plurality of drainage holes are provided on the bottom plate 10 to prevent water from staying on the bottom plate 10 during bathing and causing the user to slip from the seat plate.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the bathtub seat 1 further includes a plurality of support columns 30 , and each support column 30 is slidably disposed on the bottom plate 10 .

[0045] It should be noted that the four corners of the bottom plate 10 are provided with through holes 13, each of which is provided along the long side of the bottom plate 10 from the four corners of the bottom plate 10, and each of the support columns 30 slides on the through holes 13, for example, by screws passing through the through holes 13 to connect with the support columns 30, so that the support columns 30 can slide relative to the bottom plate 10 and cannot be separated from the bottom plate 10. When the bathtub seat 1 is mounted on the bathtub, the support columns 30 at the four corners of the bottom plate 10 are respectively stuck on the outer wall of the bathtub, so that the bathtub seat 1 can be fixedly mounted on the bathtub, and because each of the support columns 30 can slide relative to the bottom plate 10, the bathtub seat 1 can be adapted to bathtubs of various sizes. When the bathtub seat 1 is installed on the bathtub, the panel 21 is slid to the side close to the base plate 10 so that the panel 21 is close to the edge of the bathtub. In this way, the user can sit on the panel 21 from outside the bathtub and then slide into the bathtub through the panel 21 to reduce the risk of the user falling.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the bathtub seat 1 further includes a handrail 40 , and the handrail 40 is disposed on the base plate 10 .

[0047] It should be noted that the handrail 40 is in a U-shaped structure, and a non-slip sponge 41 is provided in the middle of the handrail 40. Both ends of the handrail 40 are provided on the bottom plate 10, and the handrail 40 is located at the end away from the panel 21. When the user needs to stand up during bathing, he can stand by holding the handrail 40, avoiding the risk of falling due to unstable center of gravity during standing.

[0048] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the bathtub seat 1 further includes a storage groove 50, which is disposed at one end close to the handrail 40, and the storage groove 50 is used to place bathing products, such as soap for bathing.

[0049] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
