Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a multi-folding bathtub. It belongs to the technical field of folding bathtubs. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, bathtubs are essential for most families, especially those with children. Most bathtubs on the market, especially portable children's bathtubs, are large. These large bathtubs waste water and increase transportation costs. They also take up a lot of space and are extremely inconvenient to carry. Furthermore, they do not provide children with the flexibility and versatility they are intended for use.
[0003] Folding bathtubs are bathroom fixtures designed for easy storage and portability. They are characterized by their foldability, lightweight portability, water-saving design, and wide applicability, making them a popular bathroom product in modern homes.
[0004] However, the typical dimensions of a folding bathtub are (80-100cm) * (50-55cm) * (20-30cm), and the folded dimensions are (80-100cm) * (50-55cm) * (9-15cm). Currently, folding bathtubs only allow for vertical folding based on thickness, which limits the length of the product (the standard size of a typical family shower room is 90*90cm). Folding bathtubs are designed for children aged 0-5 years. According to statistics, the standard height of a 2-year-old child is already 88.5cm, and a folding bathtub with a length of 90cm is no longer sufficient for children's needs. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention proposes a multi-fold bathtub that can be folded horizontally and vertically, saving users storage space along the longitudinal direction, and saving manufacturers warehouse stacking space costs and express packaging and transportation costs, thus solving the problems existing in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A multi-folding bathtub includes a base plate assembly and a panel assembly, as well as a vertically foldable annular basin wall connected between the base plate assembly and the panel assembly. The panel assembly includes a separately disposed left panel and a right panel. The base plate assembly includes a right base plate, a left base plate, and a middle base plate. The right base plate and the left base plate are made of rigid material, and the middle base plate is made of flexible material that allows the right base plate and the left base plate to be folded laterally.
[0008] The left and right panels have protruding ends on opposite sides, and the two protruding ends are rotated through a rotating connector to cooperate with the horizontal folding of the bottom plate.
[0009] The panel protruding end is provided with a rotating hole, the rotating connecting piece comprises a left connecting piece and a right connecting piece, the left connecting piece and the right connecting piece are respectively provided with a third plug and a fourth plug, the third plug and the fourth plug are inserted into the rotating hole to form a rotating shaft of the panel assembly and the rotating connecting piece, and the rotating shaft provides convenience for the rotation of the left panel and the right panel.
[0010] The left connecting piece and the right connecting piece are provided with a first plug and a second plug for fixed connection.
[0011] The panel protruding end is further provided with an annular limiting hole, the left connecting piece is provided with a limiting block matched with the limiting hole to realize limited angle rotation, and the left connecting piece is provided with a decorative panel through a connecting buckle.
[0012] The middle bottom plate is provided with one or more creases perpendicular to the bottom plate assembly and capable of folding the middle bottom plate towards the panel assembly, so that the middle bottom plate can be folded in half.
[0013] The left panel and the right panel are connected through a middle panel, the middle panel is made of flexible material, and the width of the middle panel is greater than 2 times the width of the middle bottom plate.
[0014] The left panel and the right panel are rotatably connected through a rotating shaft below the left panel and the right panel, and a plurality of supporting legs are arranged, which can support the bathtub when the bathtub is unfolded and can be accommodated when the bathtub is folded.
[0015] The annular wall is provided with one or more annular creases parallel to the bottom plate assembly and capable of folding the annular wall towards the bottom plate, so that the bottom plate assembly and the panel assembly can be folded.
[0016] The left panel and the right panel are detachably connected with an accessory placing rack for placing bathing accessories of infants and young children, such as bathing tools and shower gel.
[0017] The utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0018] The multi-folded bathtub can be vertically folded first and then horizontally folded, the length of the whole bathtub is reduced to less than 50 cm, and the bathtub can be stored in other corners of the bathroom, such as below the bathroom cabinet, so that the user has more choices for storage (the length and width of the bathroom are not large, and if a 90 cm product is placed, the user will have difficulty in arranging) and the size limitation of the length of the folded bathtub product by the manufacturer can be widened, and a longer product more suitable for children over 2 years old can be produced.
[0019] For manufacturers, the packaging cartons for products with sizes of 50 cm and 90 cm have a large price difference, and the packaging cost is saved, and the express company also has an advantage in transportation cost compared with the existing folded bathtub. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
