Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a pet bath tub. [Background Technology]

[0002] As living standards improve, more and more people are keeping pets. One of the most important aspects of pet ownership is maintaining their hygiene, including bathing them. Currently, pet owners typically take their pets to pet salons regularly for grooming, which increases the financial cost of pet ownership and is also time-consuming.

[0003] Therefore, this utility model came into being. [Utility Model Content]

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a pet bath tub with a simple structure. This pet bath tub allows pet owners to bathe their pets at home, reducing the cost of pet ownership. Furthermore, the pet bath tub is foldable and can be folded for storage when not in use, reducing its space requirements.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A pet bathtub, movable from an unfolded position to a folded position after a locking device is unlocked, includes a left support frame and a right support frame spaced apart from each other. The upper ends of the left and right support frames are provided with a frame connecting them. A flexible and foldable tub body is connected to the frame. The tub body has a bathing space capable of holding water and providing a space for a pet to bathe. The left support frame includes a first support rod and a second support rod that are hinged to each other. The right support frame includes a third support rod and a fourth support rod that are hinged to each other. The frame includes a first U-shaped frame and a second U-shaped frame. The first U-shaped frame is rotatably connected to the open end of the second U-shaped frame. The side of the first U-shaped frame away from its open end is hinged to the first support rod and the third support rod. The side of the second U-shaped frame away from its open end is hinged to the second support rod and the fourth support rod. When the pet bathtub moves from the unfolded position to the folded position, it can ensure that: the upper ends of the first support rod and the second support rod are close to each other, the upper ends of the third support rod and the fourth support rod are close to each other, and the position where the first U-shaped frame and the second U-shaped frame are connected moves towards the hinged position of the first support rod and the second support rod and towards the hinged position of the third support rod and the fourth support rod.

[0007] A first support frame, which connects the first and third support rods and supports the bottom of the basin, is fixedly provided in the middle of the first support rod and the third support rod. A second support frame, which connects the second and fourth support rods and supports the bottom of the basin, is fixedly provided in the middle of the second support rod and the fourth support rod.

[0008] The first support rod includes a first inclined rod segment inclined relative to the ground and a first straight rod segment bent relative to the first inclined rod segment and perpendicular to the ground; the second support rod includes a second inclined rod segment inclined relative to the ground and a second straight rod segment bent relative to the second inclined rod segment and perpendicular to the ground; the third support rod includes a third inclined rod segment inclined relative to the ground and a third straight rod segment bent relative to the third inclined rod segment and perpendicular to the ground; the fourth support rod includes a fourth inclined rod segment inclined relative to the ground and a fourth straight rod segment bent relative to the fourth inclined rod segment and perpendicular to the ground.

[0009] The first support rod is composed of two rods detachably connected by a connector; the second support rod is composed of two rods detachably connected by a connector; the third support rod is composed of two rods detachably connected by a connector; and the fourth support rod is composed of two rods detachably connected by a connector.

[0010] A support portion for placing items is provided between the left and right support frames and below the basin.

[0011] The supporting part includes a first supporting rod fixed between the first supporting rod and the second supporting rod, and a second supporting rod fixed between the second supporting rod and the fourth supporting rod. A flexible and foldable tablecloth is provided on the first supporting rod and the second supporting rod.

[0012] The basin is made of PVC mesh fabric.

[0013] The locking device includes a first connecting shell at the opening end of the first U-shaped frame and a second connecting shell at the opening end of the second U-shaped frame. Both the first and second connecting shells are provided with multiple engaging grooves. Within the space enclosed by the first and second connecting shells, there is an engaging member that can slide within it and engage simultaneously with the engaging grooves on the first and second connecting shells. The second connecting shell is provided with an exposed and pressable button. When the button is pressed, it can push the engaging member to disengage from the engaging groove on the second connecting shell. A return spring is provided between the engaging member and the first connecting shell to push the engaging member to slide back to its original position.

[0014] The button includes a pressable body with multiple protruding rods along the circumferential direction. The second connecting shell has a through hole through which the protruding rods can pass. The end of the protruding rod has a hook that can pass through the through hole when pressed and can elastically return to hook the edge of the through hole after passing through the through hole. When the body is pressed, the hook pushes the engaging member to disengage from the engaging groove on the second connecting shell.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: When the pet bath tub is unfolded, users can fill the tub with water and place their pets inside for a bath, eliminating the need to regularly take their pets to a pet store for bathing, saving money and time. Furthermore, when the pet bath tub is not in use, the user can unlock the locking device and press down on the connection point between the first and second U-shaped frames, causing this connection point to move towards the hinged position between the first and second support rods, and also towards the hinged position between the third and fourth support rods. At this time, the upper and lower ends of the first and second support rods move closer together, as do the upper and lower ends of the third and fourth support rods, folding the flexible tub body. This ensures that the pet bath tub can be easily folded when not in use, taking up little space when folded, and can be unfolded again when needed. The entire pet bath tub has a simple structure, is easy to fold, and reduces space occupation when folded, making it suitable for widespread application. [Attached Image Description]

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a pet bath tub can be moved from an unfolded position to a folded position after the locking device is unlocked. In the unfolded position, it can be used to bathe pets, while in the folded position, it is easy to store and reduces the space occupied.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the pet bathtub in this embodiment includes a left support frame 1 and a right support frame 2 arranged at intervals. The upper ends of the left and right support frames 1 and 2 are provided with a frame 3 that connects them. A flexible and foldable basin body 4 is connected to the frame 3. The basin body 4 has a bathing space 5 that can hold water and allow a pet to bathe inside. After water is filled into the bathing space 5, the pet can be placed inside for a bath. To facilitate folding and reduce weight, the basin body 4 can be made of PVC mesh fabric.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the left support frame 1 includes a first support rod 11 and a second support rod 12 that are hinged to each other. The right support frame 2 includes a third support rod 23 and a fourth support rod 24 that are hinged to each other. The enclosure frame 3 includes a first U-shaped frame 31 and a second U-shaped frame 32. The open ends of the first U-shaped frame 31 and the second U-shaped frame 32 are rotatably connected together. The side of the first U-shaped frame 31 away from its open end is hinged to the first support rod 11 and the third support rod 23. The side of the second U-shaped frame 32 away from its open end is hinged to the second support rod 12 and the fourth support rod 24.

[0027] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, when the pet bathtub moves from the unfolded position to the folded position, the upper ends of the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 approach each other, and the upper ends of the third support rod 23 and the fourth support rod 24 approach each other. Furthermore, the connection point between the first U-shaped frame 31 and the second U-shaped frame 32 moves towards the hinged position of the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12, and towards the hinged position of the third support rod 23 and the fourth support rod 24. In the unfolded position, the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 are spread apart, as are the third support rod 23 and the fourth support rod 24. During the folding process, the upper and lower ends of the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 approach each other, and the upper and lower ends of the third support rod 23 and the fourth support rod 24 also approach each other. The first U-shaped frame 31 and the second U-shaped frame 32 are then stored between the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12, and between the third support rod 23 and the fourth support rod 24, thus minimizing the space occupied by the folded pet bathtub.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a first support frame 61, which can connect the first support rod 11 and the third support rod 23 and support the bottom of the basin 4, is fixedly provided in the middle. A second support frame 62, which can connect the second support rod 12 and the fourth support rod 24 and support the bottom of the basin 4, is fixedly provided in the middle.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the first support rod 11 includes a first inclined rod segment 111 inclined relative to the ground and a first straight rod segment 112 bent relative to the first inclined rod segment 111 and perpendicular to the ground; the second support rod 12 includes a second inclined rod segment 121 inclined relative to the ground and a second straight rod segment 122 bent relative to the second inclined rod segment 121 and perpendicular to the ground; the third support rod 23 includes a third inclined rod segment 231 inclined relative to the ground and a third straight rod segment 232 bent relative to the third inclined rod segment 231 and perpendicular to the ground; the fourth support rod 24 includes a fourth inclined rod segment 241 inclined relative to the ground and a fourth straight rod segment 242 bent relative to the fourth inclined rod segment 241 and perpendicular to the ground. This design allows the pet bath tub of this embodiment to have sufficient height while its lower part does not occupy too much ground area, making the pet bath tub structure compact.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the first support rod 11 consists of two rods detachably connected by a connector 7; the second support rod 12 consists of two rods detachably connected by a connector 7; the third support rod 23 consists of two rods detachably connected by a connector 7; and the fourth support rod 24 consists of two rods detachably connected by a connector 7. The first support rod 11, the second support rod 12, the third support rod 23, and the fourth support rod 24 are all constructed by connecting two rods, facilitating packaging and transportation.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a support portion 8 for placing items is provided between the left support frame 1 and the right support frame 2 and below the basin body 4. Pet bathing brushes, towels, and other items can be placed on the support portion 8. The support portion 8 includes a first support rod 81 fixedly disposed between the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12, and a second support rod 82 fixedly disposed between the second support rod 12 and the fourth support rod 24. A flexible and foldable tablecloth 83 is provided on the first support rod 81 and the second support rod 82.

[0032] like Figure 7As shown, the locking device includes a first connecting shell 91 located at the opening end of the first U-shaped frame 31 and a second connecting shell 92 located at the opening end of the second U-shaped frame 32. Both the first connecting shell 91 and the second connecting shell 92 are provided with multiple engaging slots 93. Within the space enclosed by the first connecting shell 91 and the second connecting shell 92, there is an engaging member 94 that can slide within it and engage simultaneously with the engaging slots 93 on the first connecting shell 91 and the second connecting shell 92. The second connecting shell 92 is provided with an exposed and pressable button 95. When the button 95 is pressed, it can push the engaging member 94 to disengage from the engaging slots 93 on the second connecting shell 92. Between the engaging member 94 and the first connecting shell 91, there is a return spring 96 that can push the engaging member 94 to slide back to its original position. When the pet bath tub needs to be folded, press button 95. Button 95 pushes the engaging piece 94 to disengage from the engaging groove 93 on the second connecting shell 92. At this time, the locking device is unlocked, and the user can push down the position where the first U-shaped frame 31 and the second U-shaped frame 32 meet to fold the pet bath tub. The entire folding operation is very convenient and quick. Of course, the locking device can also adopt other structures, such as setting a convex shaft on the first support rod 1, and a hook that can be engaged or disengaged from the convex shaft is rotatably connected to the second support rod 12.

[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, the button 95 is injection molded and includes a pressable body 951. The body 951 has multiple protruding rods 952 along its circumference. The second connecting shell 92 has through holes 97 through which the protruding rods 952 pass. The end of each protruding rod 952 has a hook 953 that allows it to pass through the through hole 97 when pressed and elastically recovers after passing through the through hole 97, hooking onto the edge of the through hole 97. The hook 953 prevents the body 951 from detaching from the second connecting shell 92. When the body 951 is pressed, the hook 953 pushes the engaging member 94 away from the engaging groove 93 on the second connecting shell 92.

[0034] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
