[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. 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.
[0024] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art, the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model discloses a modular staircase for a bathtub, comprising at least two step structures arranged in a stepped manner, with adjacent step structures connected in a modular manner. The step structure is provided with an N-level support frame 1 and an N-level platform 2, and the N-level platform 2 is detachably installed on the upper end of the N-level support frame 1.
[0026] The bathtub ladder in this embodiment uses a modular design, which assembles a multi-step structure by splicing. It is efficient and convenient to install, and users can complete the installation and disassembly without the need for additional tools. It is suitable for bathtubs of different heights.
[0027] The upper end of the N-level support frame 1 is provided with a clamping component 3, which limits and fixes the N-level platform 2. The upper surface of the N-level platform 2 is provided with anti-slip protrusions.
[0028] Here, "N-level" can refer to level one, level two, level three, level four, and so on. The bathtub uses a modular staircase consisting of at least two stepped structures. The specific height and number of steps in each step are adjusted according to the height of the bathtub, allowing users to easily enter the tub for bathing via the modular staircase structure. Each step structure has a basically identical composition.
[0029] In this embodiment, the modular step ladder is placed beside the bathtub and installed by splicing together N-level support frames 1. The N-level platform 2 is detachably installed on the upper end of the N-level support frames 1, facilitating quick disassembly and installation by the user. The N-level platform 2 is flat, allowing the user to step onto the bathtub step by step. The N-level platform 2 is secured between the clamping member 3 and the upper end of the N-level support frame, ensuring its reliability and stability and preventing the other end of the N-level platform 2 from lifting up when the user steps on one edge. Anti-slip protrusions are also designed on the upper surface of the N-level platform 2 to prevent slipping on wet feet after bathing, improving the safety of the device.
[0030] Furthermore, each step structure typically has at least two N-level support frames 1. Generally, there is one N-level support frame 1 on the left and one N-level support frame 1 on the right. The N-level platform 2 is detachably installed between the left N-level support frame 1 and the right N-level support frame 1.
[0031] Furthermore, there are at least two clamping parts 3, namely, one clamping part 3 is provided at the upper end of the N-level support frame 1 on the left and one clamping part 3 is provided at the upper end of the N-level support frame 1 on the right, which respectively limit and fix the left and right ends of the N-level platform 2.
[0032] For example, there are two stepped structures, specifically a first-level stepped structure and a second-level stepped structure. The second-level stepped structure is higher than the first-level stepped structure. The first-level stepped structure has a first-level support frame 1 and a first-level platform 2, and the second-level stepped structure has a second-level support frame 1 and a second-level platform 2. The first-level support frame 1 and the second-level support frame 1 are spliced together. The first-level platform 2 can be detachably installed on the upper end of the first-level support frame 1, and the second-level platform 2 can be detachably installed on the upper end of the second-level support frame 1. Both the first-level platform 2 and the second-level platform 2 are provided with anti-slip protrusions. The upper ends of the first-level support frame 1 and the second-level support frame 1 are respectively provided with clamping parts 3, which limit and fix the first-level platform 2 and the second-level platform 2.
[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the splicing connection can be any one of the following: inlay connection, snap-fit connection, adhesive connection, magnetic connection, or bolt connection.
[0034] The above-mentioned splicing connection method allows users to quickly assemble multi-level step structures, which are suitable for bathtubs of different heights. It also allows users to quickly disassemble the step structure, saving time and providing convenience. The disassembled step structure occupies less space, effectively utilizing the space in the bathroom.
[0035] Preferably, the front and rear sides of the N-level support frame 1 are respectively provided with positioning grooves 4, the width of the positioning grooves 4 is reduced towards the adjacent N-level support frame 1, the adjacent positioning grooves 4 form a positioning channel 5, and an insert 6 is embedded in the positioning channel 5.
[0036] For example, there is a two-stage step structure, with a first-stage support frame 1 and a second-stage support frame 1. A first positioning groove 4 is provided on one side of the first-stage support frame 1, and the width of the first positioning groove 4 decreases towards the second support frame 1. A second positioning groove 4 is provided on one side of the second-stage support frame 1, and the width of the second positioning groove 4 decreases towards the first support frame 1. The first positioning groove 4 and the second positioning groove 4 form a positioning channel 5, and an insert 6 is embedded in the positioning channel 5.
[0037] More preferably, the insert 6 is in the shape of a Chinese character '工', and the corresponding positioning groove 4 is in the shape of a Chinese character '凸'. Correspondingly, the positioning channel 5 is in the shape of a Chinese character '工'.
[0038] Preferably, one side of the N - level support frame 1 is provided with a slide rail, and one side of the adjacent N - level support frame 1 is provided with a slider. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail. When the N - level support frame 1 is placed vertically on the bathroom floor, the length direction of the slide rail is relatively perpendicular to the ground plane. The slider on the other side of the N - level support frame 1 is vertically clamped on the slide rail. A groove adapted to the slide rail is provided on the slider, so that the slider and the slide rail can slide relative to each other, and the slider will not脱离 the slide rail track.
[0039] Exemplarily, one side of the first - level support frame 1 is provided with a slide rail, and one side of the second - level support frame 1 is provided with a slider. The slider is adapted to the slide rail, and the slider can freely slide into the slide rail. More preferably, the top diameter of the slide rail is smaller than the bottom diameter of the slide rail, so as to prevent the slider from脱离 the slide rail. Correspondingly, the slider is in the shape of a T - character.
[0040] Preferably, a through - hole is provided on one side of the N - level support frame 1, and adjacent N - level support frames 1 are bolt - connected through the through - holes and locked with nuts, which also realizes quick disassembly and assembly, ensuring the connection stability and reliability of adjacent stepped structures.
[0041] Preferably, one side of the N - level support frame 1 is provided with a first magnetic attraction part, and one side of the adjacent N - level support frame 1 is provided with a second magnetic attraction part. The first magnetic attraction part and the second magnetic attraction part are magnetically attracted to each other. At least one of the first magnetic attraction part and the second magnetic attraction part is made of a magnetic material. The adjacent N - level support frames 1 are spliced and connected by using the magnetic attraction principle.
[0042] When the first magnetic attraction part is made of a magnetic material, such as a magnet, and the second magnetic attraction part is made of a material that is mutually attracted to the magnetic material, such as iron. The first magnetic attraction part and the second magnetic attraction part can also be made of magnetic materials that are mutually attracted.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment, a positioning notch 101 is provided at the upper end of the N - level support frame 1, and the N - level platform 2 is clamped in the positioning notch 101. The N - level platform 2 and the N - level support frame 1 are connected by a clamping connection method, which is convenient for disassembly and installation, time - saving and labor - saving, and does not require additional installation tools.
[0044] As a preferred embodiment, a cross - frame 7 is further provided at the upper end of the N - level support frame 1. The end of the cross - frame 7 is clamped on the positioning notch 101, and the N - level platform 2 is镶嵌 connected to the cross - frame 7. The cross - frame 7 is used to ensure the reliability of the N - level platform 2, and avoid problems such as bending and breaking of the N - level platform 2.
[0045] It should be noted that in the above translation, the part "脱离" in the original text seems to be an incorrect or incomplete expression. It might be a misspelling or an unclear term. Here, I translated it as "脱离" as it was in the original, but it may need to be corrected according to the actual correct content.In a preferred embodiment, a limiting part 31 is provided on one side of the clamping member 3, and the limiting part 31 is engaged in the positioning groove 4. Correspondingly, a limiting opening 102 is opened at the upper end of the N-level support frame 1. The clamping member 3 is engaged in the limiting opening 102 and abuts against the N-level platform 2, pressing the N-level platform 2 and the N-level support frame 1 together. At the same time, the limiting part 31 on one side of the clamping member 3 is engaged in the positioning recess 101, ensuring the connection stability between the clamping member 3 and the N-level support frame 1.
[0046] In a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the N-level support frame 1 is provided with an anti-slip pad 8. The anti-slip pad 8 is designed to prevent the steps from shifting or slipping due to residual moisture on the bathroom floor during use of the interlocking steps, thus ensuring user safety during the process of climbing onto the bathtub.
[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the anti-slip protrusions are provided on the upper surface of the N-level platform 2, and their shape can be wavy, dotted, ridged, or irregular.
[0048] Preferably, the anti-slip protrusion can also be recessed on the upper surface of the N-level platform 2.
[0049] When the foot contacts the bumps and depressions, they interlock, creating additional friction and preventing slippage. The design principle is similar to the tread pattern of a vehicle tire, which increases traction and grip by increasing the contact area and friction with the ground.
[0050] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0051] In summary, any other corresponding modifications made by those skilled in the art after reading this utility model document, based on the technical solution and concept of this utility model without creative mental effort, shall all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
