Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a 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 folding bath tub that can be folded horizontally, saving users storage space, reducing warehouse stacking space costs and express packaging and transportation costs for manufacturers, 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 folding bathtub includes a base plate assembly comprising a right base plate assembly, a middle base plate assembly, and a left base plate assembly. The right base plate assembly and the middle base plate are connected by a right-folding base plate, and the middle base plate and the left base plate assembly are connected by a left-folding base plate. The right base plate assembly, the middle base plate, and the left base plate assembly are made of rigid materials, while the right-folding base plate and the left-folding base plate are made of flexible materials, allowing the right base plate assembly and the left base plate assembly to be folded laterally.

[0008] The right base plate assembly includes a right base plate and a semi-circular right side plate, and the left base plate assembly includes a left base plate and a semi-circular left side plate.

[0009] The upper end of one side of the right side plate and the left side plate is connected to a first side flange. The first side flange is connected to an external attachment through a first mounting hole. The external attachment is a lifting accessory for placing infant bath products or for easy lifting by the user, such as bath utensils and shower gel. The lifting accessory is provided with a first buckle that matches the first mounting hole to achieve a detachable connection.

[0010] The upper end of the opposite side of the right and left panels is connected to a second side flange. The second side flange is connected to a decorative frame through a second mounting hole. The decorative frame is provided with a second buckle that matches the second mounting hole, so as to realize a detachable connection.

[0011] The right bottom plate has a water outlet hole.

[0012] The bottom of the right bottom plate assembly, the middle bottom plate, and the left bottom plate assembly are provided with supporting edges or supporting columns.

[0013] This utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model relates to a folding bath tub that can be folded horizontally, reducing the width of the entire tub to less than 10cm. It can be placed in other corners of the bathroom, such as under the bathroom cabinet, providing users with a wider range of storage options.

[0015] For manufacturers, there is a significant price difference between choosing packaging cartons with product widths of 50cm and 10cm, which saves on packaging costs. For courier companies, small cartons also have a cost advantage in transportation compared to existing folding bathtubs. Attached Figure Description
