[0022] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0023] It should also be further understood that the term "and / or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0024] An embodiment of this utility model provides a bathtub cover, such as... Figure 1-3 As shown, the bathtub cover 100 is a foldable and rollable bathtub cover. In the prior art, to solve the support problem of the middle of the rollable bathtub cover being prone to collapse, a keel or support frame 200 is generally added inside the bathtub cover. For waterproofing or aesthetic purposes, a top layer 300 of waterproof material is set on the keel or support frame. At the same time, in order to ensure the heat preservation requirements of the bathtub, the bottom surface of the bathtub cover is made of heat preservation material to form a heat preservation layer 400. Therefore, the support structure such as the keel or support frame 200 is located between the heat preservation layer 400 and the top layer 300, which inevitably forms a cavity 110 inside the bathtub cover. Furthermore, if the bathtub cover has other layered structures, such as multiple layers of heat preservation layers, then multiple cavities of the bathtub cover are formed.

[0025] It should be noted that this embodiment is based on a foldable and rollable bathtub cover. To address the issue of gas affecting the rolling process due to cavities within the rollable or foldable internal space of the bathtub cover, bathtub covers that are solid or completely filled with foam are not considered in this embodiment. Of course, other types of bathtub covers with cavity structures (non-foldable and rollable) are within the scope of protection defined by this utility model, provided they do not deviate from the concept of this invention.

[0026] Specifically, a bathtub cover includes at least one cavity 110, and the side of the bathtub cover 100 is provided with at least one opening 120 and the opening 120 communicates with the cavity 110 so that the bathtub cover 100 can vent or draw air into the cavity 110 through the opening 120 when it is rolled up and / or extended.

[0027] This embodiment connects the bathtub lid to the cavity through an opening, allowing air to escape from the cavity during the rolling and folding process. Those skilled in the art will understand that if gas is present in the cavity during the rolling process, the lid will bulge, hindering the rolling process; in cases of excessive gas, rolling will fail. Therefore, this embodiment provides an opening on the side of the bathtub lid to allow gas to escape from the cavity during rolling.

[0028] Furthermore, to ensure the integrity of the bathtub cover's outer layer or improve its overall stability, in an optional embodiment, a ventilated mesh is provided on the opening. This mesh seals the opening, preventing other internal structures of the bathtub cover from being exposed or protruding, and utilizes the mesh's permeability to allow air to escape from the internal cavity of the bathtub cover. In other words, without a ventilated mesh sealing the opening, internal components such as the ribs or support frames might protrude through the opening, causing tearing and affecting the overall stability or lifespan of the bathtub cover's outer layer. This embodiment uses a ventilated mesh to cover the internal structure of the bathtub cover while simultaneously utilizing its permeability to allow air to escape from the internal cavity.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the opening can be square, circular, irregularly shaped, or any combination of these shapes. The purpose is to allow gas to escape from the cavity, or for the bathtub lid to draw in air when opened, ensuring the multi-layered structure of the bathtub lid adheres well to the surface and appears fuller when used in the bathtub. Technicians can customize the opening shape according to actual usage requirements. For example, if the bathtub lid involves two cavities, the opening can be square or triangular on the upper cavity side and circular or square on the lower cavity side. Connecting the two openings creates an irregularly shaped opening, allowing gas to circulate between the cavities and the outside. The specific shape is determined by the actual usage requirements.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the opening is located on one or more sides of the bathtub cover. In this embodiment, the location on one or more sides is determined according to the size of the bathtub cover, the capacity of the cavity, and the ventilation requirements.

[0031] Preferably, the openings are distributed on opposite sides of the bathtub cover. More preferably, the bathtub cover has several rib structures inside, and the multiple ribs arranged side by side create multiple parallel cavity areas in the bathtub cover. The openings are preferably located on opposite sides of the corresponding ribs to improve gas flow efficiency.

[0032] In existing technologies, rollable bathtub covers utilize the fine gaps or seams in the outer fabric or surface of the cover for air release during rolling. Some bathtub covers also have small holes in the outer fabric for air release. Inevitably, when rolling up the bathtub cover, it is necessary to press down the central cavity forcefully and wait for the air in the cavity to slowly escape, which is time-consuming and laborious. To improve the air release efficiency of the bathtub cover during rolling, in an optional embodiment, such as... Figure 2As shown, the opening is horizontally oriented, extending from one end of the bathtub cover to the other, and is equipped with a ventilated mesh that completely covers the opening. The ventilated mesh connects the upper and lower sides of the opening, ensuring complete coverage of the side of the bathtub cover. This allows for ventilation through the entire opening or ventilated mesh, improving the efficiency of folding and rolling up the bathtub cover.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, at least two openings on the same side of the bathtub cover are arranged horizontally side by side. That is, the openings located on the same side of the bathtub cover are arranged horizontally at intervals, which can be equidistant or have different gaps set according to the cavity structure or other considerations.

[0034] More preferably, the width of the opening is 20-35cm, and the height is set according to the actual situation. For example, if the side of the bathtub cover is 3 meters wide, then there are 6 openings with a width of 20-35cm.

[0035] In some embodiments, the bathtub cover has two or more cavities. For example, the insulation material on the bottom surface of the bathtub cover forms a first insulation layer, a keel is fixed on the first insulation layer, and a second insulation layer is disposed on the top of the keel, so that a first cavity is formed between the first insulation layer and the second insulation layer inside the bathtub cover, and a second cavity is formed between the second insulation layer and the top surface layer of the bathtub cover. In this embodiment, when the bathtub cover has two or more cavities, each cavity has at least one opening connected to the outside to allow gas flow, so that the bathtub cover vents or draws air into the cavities when it is rolled up and / or extended.

[0036] Obviously, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the structure of the bathtub cover and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Without departing from the concept of this invention, those skilled in the art can adjust the structure of the bathtub cover, such as the technical solution formed by combining the above two or more embodiments, so that this utility model can be applied to more specific application scenarios.

[0037] Another embodiment of this example provides a bathtub, including a bathtub cover as described in one or more of the embodiments or alternative embodiments as described above.

[0038] The above disclosure is only one or more preferred embodiments of the present utility model, used to help understand the inventive concept of the technical solution, and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any other equivalent or conventional substitution schemes made by those skilled in the art based on the features defined by the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
