[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drainage technology, and in particular to a drainage device for a bathtub. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, their demands for the functionality and quality of bathtubs are also increasing. To meet diverse user needs, modern bathtubs have increasingly complex internal structures, incorporating multiple water channels to achieve different functions, such as water circulation and hydro-massage. After the bathtub is manufactured, leak detection and functional testing of the internal water channels are essential steps to ensure user safety and experience. However, after testing, residual moisture may remain in the various water channels; this moisture must be drained before the bathtub leaves the factory.

[0003] The current method for dealing with residual water in bathtub drains is to use a tilting machine to tilt the bathtub over and then let it drain by gravity. However, this traditional method is not effective for bathtub drains with complex internal structures, many bends and different pipe diameters. It is difficult to completely remove the residual water in the pipes, and the drainage efficiency is low, which cannot meet the requirements of high-quality bathtub production.

[0004] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] This utility model provides a drainage device for a bathtub. To make the purpose, technical solution, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the following describes this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a drainage device for a bathtub, including a flipping mechanism 1 for clamping and flipping the bathtub 10, an air supply mechanism 2, a control box 3 connected to the air supply mechanism 2 and used to control the start and stop of the air supply mechanism 2, and an air jet pipe 43 connected to the control box 3. The air supply mechanism 2 is used to supply gas to the air jet pipe 43; the free end of the air jet pipe 43 is used to insert into the nozzle 20 of the bathtub 10.

[0024] In practical use, a trolley is used to move the bathtub 10 to be drained to the side of the tilting mechanism 1, and the bathtub 10 is placed in the tilting mechanism 1. The tilting mechanism 1 clamps and fixes the bathtub 10, and then tilts it over, using gravity to empty most of the water inside. Then, the jet pipe 43 is inserted into the corresponding area of ​​the nozzle 20 in the bathtub 10. The gas supply of the gas supply mechanism 2 is controlled by buttons on the control box 3, such as the gas volume, start-up time, and stop. The jet pipe 43 delivers gas to the nozzle 20, draining any remaining water in the waterway connected to the nozzle 20. Specifically, the bottom of the bathtub 10 has multiple drain outlets, each corresponding to a specific area of ​​the bathtub 10. In addition, each area contains multiple nozzles 20. When the jet pipe 43 is inserted into the nozzle 20 of one area, the water in the water channel of that area can be discharged through the drain corresponding to the bottom of the bathtub 10, and can also be discharged from the adjacent nozzles 20 of that area. With the cooperation of the air supply mechanism 2 and the jet pipe 43, the drainage speed of residual water is further accelerated.

[0025] The aforementioned drainage device, through the gravity drainage of the flipping mechanism 1 and the coordinated work of the air supply mechanism 2 and the jet pipe 43, effectively solves the problem of the difficulty in quickly and thoroughly draining the residual water in the bathtub 10 waterway, and greatly improves the drainage efficiency.

[0026] In some embodiments, multiple jet pipes 43 are provided, and the connecting ends of the multiple jet pipes 43 are connected to a pipe diverter 42. The pipe diverter 42 is connected to the control box 3 via a connecting pipe 41. As described above, each bathtub 10 is divided into multiple areas. The pipe diverter 42 connects the multiple jet pipes 43, allowing multiple jet pipes 43 to be inserted into the nozzles 20 of the corresponding areas, achieving simultaneous drainage of multiple areas. Compared to a single jet pipe 43, this significantly shortens the overall drainage time and further improves drainage efficiency, enabling faster removal of residual water from the waterways of the bathtub 10. Furthermore, different models and designs of bathtubs 10 have different nozzle 20 distributions and waterway structures. The arrangement of multiple jet pipes 43 in conjunction with the pipe diverter 42 allows for flexible adjustment of the number and insertion position of the jet pipes 43 according to the specific structural characteristics of the bathtub 10, better adapting to the diverse drainage needs of the bathtub 10.

[0027] In some embodiments, the free ends of multiple jet pipes 43 are provided with pipe connectors 44, which are connected to extension pipes 45. The free end of the extension pipe 45 is used to insert into the shower head 20 of the bathtub 10. The pipe connector 44 is a quick-connect connector. When it is necessary to install the extension pipe 45 to match the position of the shower head 20 of the bathtub 10 or to extend the jet pipes 43, one end of the pipe connector 44 is inserted into the free end of the jet pipe 43 through an interference fit, and then the connecting end of the extension pipe 45 is inserted into the other end of the pipe connector 44 through an interference fit. The above arrangement helps to improve the applicability of the drainage device, enhance the targeted drainage of the bathtub 10, and facilitate pipe replacement.

[0028] In some embodiments, the side wall of the control box 3 is provided with a tube winding frame 31, which is used to wind multiple jet pipes 43 around itself. When not in use, the multiple jet pipes 43 can be orderly wound around the tube winding frame 31, avoiding the messiness caused by random placement of the jet pipes 43. In addition, by storing the jet pipes 43 in the tube winding frame 31, the pipes can be prevented from being stepped on, bent, or subjected to other accidental damage when idle, reducing the risk of pipe wear and breakage, and extending the service life of the jet pipes 43.

[0029] In some embodiments, two tubing frames 31 are provided, with each frame located on one side of the control box 3. The symmetrical distribution of the two tubing frames 31 on both sides of the control box 3 makes the overall structure more balanced and stable, preventing the control box 3's center of gravity from shifting due to tubing on one side, thus avoiding interference with the normal placement and operation of the equipment. The tubing can also be wound according to its usage frequency, length, or the type of bathtub 10 to which it is applicable. Furthermore, compared to a single tubing frame 31, two tubing frames 31 significantly increase the number of jet pipes 43 that can be accommodated.

[0030] In some embodiments, the air supply mechanism 2 is an air compressor. Air compressors are technologically mature, readily available on the market, and can continuously and stably provide sufficient gas to the jet pipe 43, ensuring the continuity and stability of the drainage process. The air compressor can also precisely control the output gas pressure by adjusting equipment parameters, and in conjunction with the control box 3, can flexibly adjust the jet pressure according to the different waterway structures and drainage needs of the bathtub 10.

[0031] In some embodiments, the air compressor is provided with wheels 21 at its bottom and a first pusher 22 on its top. As described above, the bathtub 10 to be drained needs to be moved to the side of the tilting mechanism 1. Therefore, the wheels 21 and the first pusher 22 can also push the air compressor to the side of the tilting mechanism 1, facilitating the draining operation of the bathtub 10.

[0032] In some embodiments, a brake wheel 32 is provided at the bottom of the control box 3, and a second push handle 33 is provided on the control box 3. Similarly, the provision of the brake wheel 32 and the second push handle 33 is also to facilitate the movement of the control box 3.

[0033] In some embodiments, the tilting mechanism 1 includes a tilting drive source 11 and a clamping frame 12 connected to the tilting drive source 11, the clamping frame 12 being used to clamp the bathtub 10. This tilting mechanism 1 is a conventional design, utilizing the rotation of a motor to drive the rotation of the clamping frame 12, thereby tilting the bathtub 10 and quickly emptying the water inside. See also a tilting device disclosed in CN208182098U.

[0034] In some embodiments, an elastic protective layer is provided on the wall surface of the clamping frame 12 that contacts the bathtub 10. The clamping frame 12 is made of a rigid structure, and the bathtub 10 is made of acrylic sheet. The elastic protective layer ensures that the surface of the bathtub 10 will not be scratched or deformed.
