[0002] Portable massage bathtubs are a crucial part of the bathtub's structure, ensuring that all parts of the tub can be securely connected and withstand various pressures and weights during use. Corner connectors are mainly used to connect the side walls and bottom of the bathtub, as well as any other structural components. They ensure the overall structural stability of the bathtub, preventing deformation or damage during use. However, corner connectors have low overall structural strength and are prone to breakage. Furthermore, the outer end faces of the corner connectors develop numerous surface scratches over time, affecting safety during use. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: in order to overcome the problems in the prior art where the overall structural strength of the corner connector is low and it is easy to break during use, and the outer end face of the corner connector will generate a lot of surface scratches as the usage time increases, affecting the safety of use, a portable massage bathtub is provided.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a portable massage bathtub, including a corner connector, a protective layer on the outer end face of the corner connector, the protective layer being made of ASA material, and the corner connector being made of PVC hard resin. The corner connector and the protective layer are formed by a dual-supply process. By adding the protective layer, the service life of the corner connector is improved, and surface scratches on the transition surface of the corner connector are reduced. The dual-supply molding of the protective layer and the corner connector reduces the molding cycle and improves the overall production efficiency. Different materials can achieve a tight bond with high bonding strength, ensuring the durability and reliability of the product.

[0005] To address the issue that during the installation of corner connectors and frame inserts, the mating parts are sheet-like, and the mating parts on the frame lack support during installation, and the mating groove is a rigid structure, requiring the mating parts to maintain force in a certain direction during insertion into the mating groove, otherwise the mating parts are prone to breakage during insertion, the following solution is proposed: the end of the mating groove extends towards the center of the mating groove to form a connecting part, the end of the connecting part near the center of the mating groove bends into the mating groove to form a first support part, and a second support part protrudes from the bottom surface of the mating groove. Both the first and second support parts are used to support the mating parts of the frame that need to be fitted into the mating groove.

[0006] To address the issue of effectively supporting the mating parts on the frame, the system further includes a first support portion and a second support portion that correspond one-to-one and are arranged opposite to each other. The cooperation between the first support portion and the second support portion at both ends of the mating groove forms a T-shaped mating cavity.

[0007] To address the issue of low structural strength in corner connectors, the corner connector further includes an outer shell and an inner shell, with the outer shell and inner shell connected by reinforcing ribs, and a mating groove subsequently formed on the outer shell.

[0008] To address the issue of sharp-angled transition surfaces being prone to wear or damage to users, the corner connector further includes two mating end faces, with an arc-shaped transition surface located on the outer side of the corner connector between the two mating end faces.

[0009] To address the issue of low connection strength between the angle connector and the frame, a positioning groove is further included between the mating end face and the transition surface end on its side.

[0010] To address the issue of scratches easily forming on the transition surface, the transition surface is further designed to be curved.

[0011] Furthermore, the protective layer and corner connectors are integrated into a single structure.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The portable massage bathtub provided by this utility model improves the service life of the corner connectors by adding a protective layer, and also reduces surface scratches on the transition surface of the corner connectors. The dual supply molding of the protective layer and the corner connectors reduces the molding cycle and improves the overall production efficiency. Different materials can achieve a tight bond with high bonding strength, ensuring the durability and reliability of the product. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0018] like Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model, a portable massage bathtub, including a corner connector 1, a mating end face 2 on the corner connector 1, and a mating groove 3 extending along the extending direction of the corner connector 1 on the mating end face 2. Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the outer end face of the corner connector 1 has a protective layer 14, which is attached to the transition surface 8. The protective layer 14 is made of ASA material, which is a high-performance plastic material, a ternary polymer composed of acrylonitrile, styrene and acrylic rubber, also known as impact-modified resin. By adding the protective layer 14, the service life of the corner connector 1 is improved, and surface scratches on the transition surface 8 of the corner connector 1 can also be reduced.

[0019] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the protective layer 14 and the corner connector 1 are an integrated structure. The protective layer 14 and the corner connector 1 are directly prepared by dual-supply molding. The corner connector 1 and the protective layer 14 are formed by dual-supply molding, which reduces the molding cycle, improves the overall production efficiency, and allows different materials to be tightly bonded with high bonding strength, ensuring the durability and reliability of the product.

[0020] The corner connector 1 is made of rigid PVC resin, i.e., rigid polyvinyl chloride, which is an amorphous thermoplastic resin made by polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer, and is composed of certain additives.

[0021] The end of the groove of the mating groove 3 extends upward toward the middle of the mating groove 3 to form a connecting part 4. The end of the connecting part 4 near the middle of the mating groove 3 bends upward toward the mating groove 3 to form a first support part 5. A second support part 6 protrudes from the bottom surface of the mating groove 3. Both the first support part 5 and the second support part 6 are used to support the mating parts of the frame that need to be fitted into the mating groove 3. Through the design of the first support part 5 and the second support part 6, the mating parts have an elastic support surface during the process of being embedded into the mating groove 3, so as to prevent the mating parts from being broken.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, the first support part 5 and the second support part 6 correspond one-to-one and are arranged opposite each other. The first support part 5 and the second support part 6 at both ends of the groove of the mating groove 3 form a T-shaped mating cavity 7, which makes the mating groove 3 and the mating parts have greater connection strength, and makes the connection strength between the corner connector 1 and the frame higher. This T-shaped structure makes the mating parts have excellent stability and load-bearing capacity. It can withstand forces and moments in various directions and is suitable for occasions that need to withstand large loads and complex stresses.

[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the corner connector 1 includes an outer shell 11 and an inner shell 12. The outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 are connected by a reinforcing rib 13. The mating groove 3 is then opened on the outer shell 11. The inner shell 12 has a ring structure with the ends connected. The outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 connected by the reinforcing rib 13 make the corner connector 1 have greater structural strength and make the whole lighter and easier to carry.

[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the corner connector 1 has two mating end faces 2, and an arc-shaped transition surface 8 is located on the outer side of the corner connector 1 between the two mating end faces 2. The design of the arc-shaped transition surface 8 can also reduce manufacturing costs. Since the arc-shaped transition surface makes the external lines of the product smoother and more natural, it can simplify the mold design and manufacturing process, reduce production difficulty and cycle. Moreover, the arc design makes the connection part smoother, avoids stress concentration and wear problems caused by right angle or acute angle connection, and can also effectively alleviate stress distribution, so that stress will not concentrate at the corner.

[0025] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, there is a positioning groove 9 between the mating end face 2 and the end of the transition surface 8 on its side. The positioning groove 9 can ensure that the equipment or component remains stable during use and is not easily deviated from the predetermined position. The position and direction of the corner connector 1 and the frame can be precisely adjusted to achieve accurate positioning.

[0026] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
