[0002] Acrylic bathtubs are bathtubs made of PMMA plastic material. The tub body of an acrylic bathtub is composed of a surface layer (acrylic layer) and an inner layer (fiberglass resin reinforcement layer). They are characterized by a variety of shapes, light weight, good surface finish, and low price.

[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN221411085U) discloses an acrylic bathtub, including a bathtub body with an internal reinforcing mechanism. A water outlet is located on the lower surface of the inner cavity of the bathtub body. A box is fixed to the left side of the bathtub body, and an adjustment mechanism is located inside the box. The adjustment mechanism includes a motor fixed to the back of the inner cavity of the box. A rotating rod is fixed to the output shaft of the motor. Two first bevel gears are fixed to the outer surface of the rotating rod, and a second bevel gear meshes with the outer surface of the first bevel gears. A threaded rod is fixed to the upper surface of the second bevel gear. In this acrylic bathtub, the motor drives the rotating rod and the first bevel gears to rotate together through the adjustment mechanism, which in turn drives the second bevel gear and the threaded rod to rotate together, causing a moving block to move. The moving block, through a connecting rod, moves the backrest, adjusting the backrest height for convenient use. Furthermore, water from inside the bathtub will not enter the box.

[0004] However, during the use of a bathtub, the internal water temperature will gradually decrease. The common method is to add hot water to raise the internal water temperature. However, when adding hot water, the internal water level rises, and some water will be discharged out of the bathtub through the overflow channel, resulting in water waste. Utility Model Content

[0037] The scratch-resistant acrylic bathtub 1 in this embodiment, through the filter box 2, heating box 7, circulation pipe 10, and pump body 11, achieves circulating heating of the water inside the bathtub 1. It can reduce energy consumption while ensuring water temperature stability. Compared with the traditional method of continuously adding hot water, the energy-saving effect of this bathtub 1 is significant, which meets the requirements of modern society for green environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction. It can not only maintain a constant temperature of the water inside the bathtub 1 and improve the user experience, but also avoid the water waste problem caused by continuously adding hot water in the traditional method. The filter screen 3 and filter element 4 installed inside the filter box 2 can effectively filter the water inside the bathtub 1, remove impurities and dirt, and ensure the cleanliness of the water source. The bathtub 1 is made of scratch-resistant acrylic material, which not only reduces the overall weight of the bathtub 1, but also improves the durability and scratch resistance of the bathtub 1.

[0038] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: the water level and temperature inside the bathtub 1 are monitored in real time by the first temperature sensor 18 and the liquid level sensor 19, and the data is transmitted to the control host 24. When the water temperature inside the bathtub 1 drops, the control host 24 starts the pump body 11 to draw the water in the bathtub 1 into the filter box 2 through the inlet pipe 6. The water is filtered layer by layer by the filter screen 3 and the filter element 4 in the filter box 2 to remove impurities and foreign objects, maintain the cleanliness of the water, and extend the service life of the serpentine heating tube 8. The filtered water enters the heating box 7 through the outlet pipe 9, and the serpentine heating tube 8 in the heating box 7 heats the water. The heated water is sent back to the bottom of the bathtub 1 through the circulation pipe 10 by the pump body 11, realizing the circulation and heating of the water. The control host 24 intelligently adjusts the working status of the pump body 11 and the heating tube according to the data fed back by the first temperature sensor 18 and the second temperature sensor 22 to maintain a constant water temperature inside the bathtub 1. When it is necessary to drain the wastewater in the bathtub 1, the user can turn off all the pump bodies 11 through the control host 24 and open the second one-way valve 21 of the drain pipe 20, and the wastewater will be smoothly discharged from the bathtub 1.
