[0002] At present, people use bathtubs and bathtubs to enjoy the bathing process in family life. However, traditional bathtubs and bathtubs are large in size and take up a large space in the bathroom. A considerable number of families who need to take a bath give up their bathing needs due to the limitation of bathroom area or economic considerations.

[0003] At present, a Chinese utility model with announcement number CN211355124U discloses a folding bathtub, including a folding basin body with a basin edge, wherein fasteners symmetrically distributed are respectively provided in the middle of the front and rear ends of the folding basin body, and a plurality of support rods are rotatably mounted on the fasteners, and the support rods include a first main support rod, a second main support rod, a first auxiliary support rod and a second auxiliary support rod.

[0004] However, although the existing foldable bathtub has the function of folding and folding, the foldable bathtub is heavy and bulky, and the volume of the folded bathtub is still large, which is not convenient for storage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a foldable bathtub, which has the advantages of being able to be folded multiple times, having a small volume after folding and being easy to store.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose and other related purposes, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A foldable bathtub, comprising a flexible bathtub cloth and a foldable bracket for supporting the flexible bathtub cloth;

[0008] The folding bracket comprises a rectangular frame arranged at the mouth of the flexible basin cloth and a supporting frame vertically arranged on a group of opposite sides of the rectangular frame;

[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, fixing sheets are fixed on the side walls of both sides of the flexible basin cloth by hot pressing, and side pipe sleeves for sleeve-mounting the support frame are formed between the fixing sheets and the side walls of the flexible basin cloth.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the side pipe sleeve is used to connect the support frame and the flexible basin cloth together, so that when the bathtub is unfolded, the flexible basin cloth restricts the support frame from further rotation, thereby enabling the support frame to stably support the bathtub.

[0026] In an embodiment of the present invention, the flexible basin cloth is made of PVC.

[0027] Through the above technical solution, the flexible basin cloth is made of PVC flexible material and can be folded at will.

[0028] As described above, the foldable bathtub of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] 1. The first folding joint is used to fold the support frame 90 degrees to overlap with the rectangular frame to achieve the first folding; the second folding joint is used to fold the rectangular frame in half to achieve the second folding; because the flexible basin cloth is easy to fold, the flexible basin cloth is folded twice when the folding bracket is folded, so that the folded basin cloth has a small volume after folding and is easy to store;

[0052] Brief description of the use process: before use, the bathtub is in a fully folded state. In the first step, the rectangular frame 21 is rotated outward at a specific angle to unfold the bathtub as a whole. In the second step, the support frames 22 on both sides of the bathtub are rotated outward to unfold the bathtub. At this time, the bathtub is in a fully unfolded state and can be used for bathing normally.

[0053] After use, the first step is to rotate and fold the support frames 22 on both sides of the bathtub inward, and the bathtub is now in a straight line shape; the second step is to fold the rectangular frame 21 in half, and the bathtub is now in a completely folded state.

[0054] In summary, the utility model is simple and convenient to use, and the bathtub can be unfolded and folded in just a few steps; compared with the traditional plastic bathtub, it is lighter and cheaper; compared with other similar bathtubs that can only be folded once, the volume after folding is too large and inconvenient to store; this product can be folded twice on the basis of the original single folding, and the volume after folding is smaller and occupies less storage space. Therefore, the utility model effectively overcomes various shortcomings in the existing technology and has a high industrial utilization value.

[0055] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
