[0016] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0018] refer to Figure 1-4In one embodiment, a bathtub assembly 100 includes a bathtub 10 and an auxiliary frame 20 detachably connected to the bathtub 10. For young children, the auxiliary frame 20 is attached to the bathtub 10 to ensure a sitting posture during bathing. In this case, the bottom and side walls of the bathtub 10, along with the auxiliary frame 20, form a space just large enough to accommodate the child. Thus, the child can lean against the side wall of the bathtub 10 and be restrained by the auxiliary frame 20, thereby maintaining a sitting posture. When not in use, the auxiliary frame 20 can be removed from the bathtub 10, especially for foldable bathtubs. That is, after removing the auxiliary frame 20, the bathtub can be folded in half, thereby reducing the storage space required.

[0019] With the above structure, by connecting the auxiliary frame 20 to the bathtub 10, a space that can just accommodate a child can be formed by the auxiliary frame 20 and the bottom and side walls of the bathtub 10, so that the child can maintain a sitting posture during bathing.

[0020] In one embodiment, the auxiliary frame 20 includes a first rod portion 30 and a second rod portion 40. The first rod portion 30 has connecting portions 31 at opposite ends for detachably connecting the first rod portion 30 to the two side walls 11 of the bathtub 10. The top end of the second rod portion 40 is connected to the first rod portion 30. The first rod portion 30 and the second rod portion 40 are configured to form through holes 50 with the bottom 12 of the bathtub 10 for a child's two legs to pass through.

[0021] In one embodiment, the first rod portion 30 and the second rod portion 40 are generally T-shaped, that is, the first rod portion 30 is generally perpendicular to the second rod portion 40.

[0022] In one embodiment, the first rod portion 30 includes a body 32, with two connecting portions 31 formed at both ends of the body 32. Each connecting portion is an arc-shaped wall with a slot 33, which allows the connecting portion 31 to engage with the top of the side wall 11 of the bathtub 10. In this embodiment, the top of the side wall 11 of the bathtub 10 is arc-shaped, and the shape of the slot 33 conforms to the top of the side wall 11, approximately semi-circular. With this construction, the top of the side wall 11 of the bathtub 10 can be precisely accommodated in the slot 33. Furthermore, the arc-shaped wall forming the slot 33 is thin-walled, allowing for slight deformation. Thus, after the connecting portion 31 is connected to the side wall 11 of the bathtub 10, the arc-shaped wall is slightly deformed by the support of the top of the side wall 11, allowing the connecting portion 31 to be securely fixed to the top of the side wall 11 of the bathtub 10.

[0023] In this embodiment, the two connecting portions 31 are respectively connected to two opposing side walls 11 of the bathtub 10, such that the first rod portion 30 extends from one side wall 11 of the bathtub 10 to the side wall 11 opposite to that side wall 11. At this time, as... Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary frame 20, together with the bottom and side walls of the bathtub 10, forms a small space that restricts the movement of the toddler. The toddler is restricted by the auxiliary frame 20 and the side walls of the bathtub 10 and will not tip over and be in danger.

[0024] It is understood that the method of detachably connecting the first rod 30 to the bathtub 10 is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and a suitable connection method can be selected from the existing connection methods according to actual needs.

[0025] In one embodiment, the body 32 includes an intermediate connector 34 and two connecting rods 35 connected to the left and right ends of the intermediate connector 34, wherein the two connecting portions 31 and the connecting rods 35 are integrally formed (e.g., by injection molding).

[0026] In one embodiment, the left and right ends of the intermediate connector 34 are both open. The end of the connecting rod 35 opposite to the connecting portion 31 is received in the left and right ends of the intermediate connector 34, and then connected together by a fastener. In this embodiment, the fastener 36 includes a body 361 and a hook 362 extending from the end of the body 361. The left and right ends of the intermediate connector 34 are provided with through holes 341, and the end of the connecting rod 35 opposite to the connecting portion 31 is provided with a receiving hole 351. After the end of the connecting rod 35 opposite to the connecting portion 31 is received in the left and right ends of the intermediate connector 34, the through hole 341 is aligned with the receiving hole 351. The user can insert the fastener 36 through the through hole 341 into the receiving hole 351 until the hook 362 hooks one end of the receiving hole 351. In this way, the connecting rod 35 is detachably connected to the intermediate connector 34.

[0027] In one embodiment, the top end of the second rod portion 40 is detachably connected to the bottom of the intermediate connector 34. Specifically, the intermediate connector 34 is generally T-shaped, having a hollow left and right transverse portion 342 and a longitudinal portion 343 connected to the transverse portion 342 approximately perpendicularly. The longitudinal portion 343 is hollow, and its surface is provided with a through hole 344. An elastic piece 345 with a cantilever structure is provided in the through hole 344, and a protrusion 346 is formed at the free end of the elastic piece 345. The top end of the second rod portion 40 forms a receiving cavity 41, and a through hole 42 is formed on the side wall of the receiving cavity 41. The bottom of the intermediate connector 34 (i.e., the longitudinal portion 343) is received in the receiving cavity 41, and the protrusion 346 is received in the through hole 42, thereby detachably connecting the second rod portion 40 to the intermediate connector 34.

[0028] With the above-described structure, the first rod portion 30 itself, as well as the first rod portion 30 and the second rod portion 40, can be easily assembled together and can be easily disassembled when needed.

[0029] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this utility model.
