[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of baby product technology, and specifically refers to a connection structure between a baby care tool and a support. Background technology:

[0002] Currently, products on the market that mount bathtubs or nursing tables on supports are available to avoid discomfort caused by frequent bending over when parents care for infants. The applicant's earlier utility model patent (publication number CN219374478U, application date 2323.01.06, publication date 2023.07.21) discloses a connection structure between a support frame and a supported component, including a support frame and a supported component. The support frame includes a first support frame and a second support frame. The first support frame includes a first top rod, and the second support frame includes a second top rod. The supported component is provided with two or more mounting seats. Each mounting seat has a first slot that engages with the first or second top rod. The opening end of the first slot is provided with a fixing cover, which is fixed to the mounting seat by screws to achieve the connection between the supported component and the first and second support frames.

[0003] The aforementioned structure requires screwdrivers and other tools to assemble and disassemble the supported components, which is very inconvenient.
