Description

Technical Field

[0001] This technical solution relates to the field of bath products technology, specifically a folding bathtub. Background Technology

[0002] Bathtubs encompass both traditional household bathtubs and children's bathtubs specifically designed for children's bathing. Common children's bathtubs are mostly portable plastic bathtubs, which are easy to move and flexible to use.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN202321987891.5 discloses a children's bathtub, including a bathtub body, a shampoo basin, and a bath rack for placing the baby's body. Although the shampoo basin and bath rack can be disassembled for storage, there are still some shortcomings. The bathtub body does not have a folding function, and it will occupy a lot of space when not in use. At the same time, it will also occupy a lot of space during transportation, thus increasing transportation costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this technical solution is to provide a folding bathtub, which divides the main body of the bathtub into three parts: a first basin, a second basin, and a third basin. The second basin, which is located in the middle, is made of a flexible material, thereby enabling the third basin to be flipped and folded towards the first basin, thus improving the problem that traditional bathtubs cannot be folded and occupy a lot of space.

[0005] The purpose of this technical solution is achieved as follows:

[0006] A collapsible bathtub, comprising:

[0007] A first basin, a second basin, and a third basin, wherein the first basin is connected to one side of the second basin and the third basin is connected to the other side of the second basin, thereby forming the main body of the bathtub;

[0008] The second basin is made of a flexible material, and the first basin has a receiving groove; the main body of the bathtub has a bathing cavity, and the receiving groove is part of the bathing cavity;

[0009] By causing the second basin to undergo elastic deformation, the third basin is flipped toward the direction of the first basin and placed in the receiving groove, thereby achieving the folding of the bathtub body.

[0010] Preferably, the first basin, the second basin, and the third basin are integrally injection molded to form the main body of the bathtub; the first basin and the third basin are made of rigid plastic.

[0011] The width of the third basin gradually decreases along its length, allowing the end of the third basin to be flipped over and placed into the receiving groove of the first basin.

[0012] Preferably, the flexible material is TPE, soft PVC, silicone, or rubber.

[0013] Preferably, the bathtub body is connected to at least one fastener, one end of which is fixed to the first basin body and the other end of which is fixed to the third basin body; the fastener connects the first basin body and the third basin body into one unit, so that the bathtub body remains in an unfolded state.

[0014] Preferably, the fixing member is installed at the bottom of the bathtub body to support the bathtub body; both the bottom of the first basin and the third basin are provided with locking blocks, and both ends of the fixing member are provided with locking grooves. The locking block of the first basin engages with the locking groove at one end of the fixing member, and the locking block of the third basin engages with the locking groove at the other end of the fixing member.

[0015] Preferably, the bottom of the bathtub body forms a U-shaped support portion, and the opening of the U-shaped support portion faces the third basin body;

[0016] Two fasteners are provided, each covering both sides of the U-shaped support; the fasteners form the support feet at the bottom of the bathtub body.

[0017] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the card slot is provided with at least one anti-detachment block, and the sidewall of the card block is provided with an anti-detachment groove corresponding to the anti-detachment block;

[0018] When the card block engages with the corresponding card slot, the anti-detachment block is placed inside the anti-detachment slot.

[0019] Preferably, the anti-detachment block has a guiding surface for guiding the anti-detachment block into the anti-detachment groove.

[0020] Preferably, an anti-slip pad is installed in the middle of the card block; the lower end of the anti-slip pad protrudes from the lower surface of the fixing member.

[0021] Preferably, the second basin has a reclining chair section, one end of which has a leg rest area and the other end has a support protrusion.

[0022] The key and beneficial technical effects of this technical solution compared to existing technologies are:

[0023] The bathtub body designed in this technical solution can be folded. By dividing the bathtub body into three parts, namely the first basin, the second basin, and the third basin, the second basin, which is placed between the first basin and the third basin, is made of a flexible material. This allows the third basin to be flipped onto the first basin and placed in the receiving groove of the first basin, thereby realizing the folding of the bathtub body, reducing the space occupied, reducing transportation costs, and making the structure simple and easy to use.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The specific implementation of this technical solution will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Combination Figures 1-3 A folding bathtub includes: a bathtub body 1 and a fixing member 2. The bathtub body 1 includes a first basin 3, a second basin 4 and a third basin 5. The first basin 3 is connected to one side of the second basin 4, and the third basin 5 is connected to the other side of the second basin 4. That is, the second basin 4 is placed between the first basin 3 and the third basin 5. The bathtub body 1 has a bathing cavity 6 for accommodating a user to bathe.

[0034] The second basin 4 is made of flexible material, and the first basin 3 is provided with a receiving groove 31, which is part of the bathing cavity 6.

[0035] After the second basin 4 is elastically deformed by external force, the third basin 5 is flipped toward the direction of the first basin 3 and placed in the receiving groove 31, thereby realizing the folding of the bathtub body 1. The structure is simple, and the folding of the bathtub body 1 reduces the space occupied and the transportation cost.

[0036] When the bathtub body 1 needs to be unfolded for use, the third basin 5 is flipped away from the first basin 3 to unfold the bathtub body 1, and the second basin 4 maintains the first basin 3 and the third basin 5 in the unfolded state through its own elastic deformation force.

[0037] The first basin 3, the second basin 4, and the third basin 5 are integrally injection molded to form the bathtub body 1. Specifically, the first basin 3, the second basin 4, and the third basin 5 are formed by two-stage injection molding. That is, the first basin 3 and the third basin 5 are first injection molded separately using corresponding molds. Then, the first basin 3 and the third basin 5 are placed into the mold used to manufacture the second basin 4, thereby fusing the second basin 4 between the first basin 3 and the third basin 5. That is, one end of the second basin 4 is bonded to the first basin 3 (bonded connection, i.e. fused connection), and the other end of the second basin 4 is bonded to the third basin 5.

[0038] The flexible material is TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), soft PVC, silicone, or rubber. For soft PVC, refer to Chinese patent CN202210529920.7.

[0039] The first basin 3 and the third basin 5 are made of rigid material, specifically rigid plastic. The rigid plastic is preferably made of PP material, but it can also be made of ABS material, PET material or PC material.

[0040] When the bathtub body 1 is unfolded for use, the first basin 3, the second basin 4, and the third basin 5 maintain the unfolded state of the bathtub body 1 through their respective anti-deformation capabilities.

[0041] Along the length of the third basin 5 (i.e. the length of the bathtub body 1), its width gradually decreases. That is, the further away the third basin 5 is from the first basin 3, the smaller its width becomes, so that the end of the third basin 5 can be flipped over and placed into the receiving groove 31 of the first basin 3.

[0042] Combination Figures 2-4 At least one fastener 2 is detachably connected to the bathtub body 1. One end of the fastener 2 is fixed to the first basin 3, and the other end of the fastener 2 is fixed to the third basin 5. The fastener 2 connects the first basin 3 and the third basin 5 into one unit, so that the bathtub body 1 can maintain the unfolded state.

[0043] The fastener 2 can be used to connect the side walls of the first basin 3 and the third basin 5 and / or to connect the bottom of the first basin 3 and the third basin 5.

[0044] Both ends of the fastener 2 are provided with slots 7, and the bottom of both the first basin 3 and the third basin 5 are provided with blocks 8 corresponding to the slots 7.

[0045] When the locking block 8 of the first basin 3 engages with the locking groove 7 at one end of the fixing member 2, and the locking block 8 of the third basin 5 engages with the locking groove 7 at the other end of the fixing member 2, the bathtub body 1 is kept in the unfolded state. The first basin 3 and the third basin 5 are connected by the fixing member 2, thereby ensuring that the first basin 3 and the third basin 5 can be kept in the set position, that is, ensuring that the bathtub body 1 is kept in the unfolded state, thus ensuring the stability of the use of the bathtub body 1.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixing member 2 is installed at the bottom of the bathtub body 1, that is, between the lower ends of the first basin 3 and the third basin 5; the fixing member 2 is installed at the lower end of the bathtub body 1, which can not only ensure the stability of the bathtub body 1 in use, but also serve as a support foot to support the bathtub body 1.

[0047] A further solution is to install a fixing member 2 on the side of the bathtub body 1, that is, the side of the first basin 3 and the side of the third basin 5 are connected by the fixing member 2, thereby improving the stability of the bathtub body 1 during use.

[0048] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 The bottom of the bathtub body 1 forms a U-shaped support part 15, and the opening of the U-shaped support part 15 faces the third basin body 5;

[0049] Two fasteners 2 are provided, respectively covering the bottom of both sides of the U-shaped support 15. That is, the two fasteners 2 are respectively installed on the bottom of the corresponding two sides of the U-shaped support 15. The fasteners 2 form the support feet of the bottom of the bathtub body 1. When the bathtub body 1 is full of water or there is a child, the weight of the bathtub body 1 will be concentrated on the fasteners 2, pressing the fasteners 2 firmly to the ground. When the upper part of the second basin 4 is pressed by hand, the first basin 3 and the third basin 5 will be subjected to an inward tilting force. The first basin 3 and the third basin 5 have a tendency to drive the two ends of the fasteners 2 to bend upward. However, since the fasteners 2 are pressed firmly to the ground and the fasteners 2 themselves also have a certain strength, the two ends of the fasteners 2 are difficult to bend upward, making it difficult for the first basin 3 and the third basin 5 to tilt towards the middle of the bathtub body 1, thus supporting the second basin 4. Using the fasteners 2 as support feet is one of the innovations of this solution.

[0050] Combination Figures 4-6 The inner sidewall of the slot 7 is provided with at least one anti-detachment block 9, and the sidewall of the block 8 is provided with an anti-detachment groove 10 corresponding to the anti-detachment block 9; the technical solution is that anti-detachment blocks 9 are provided on both opposite sidewalls of the slot 7, and anti-detachment grooves 10 are provided on the corresponding two sidewalls of the block 8.

[0051] When the locking block 8 engages with the corresponding locking slot 7, the anti-detachment block 9 is placed inside the anti-detachment slot 10, thereby preventing the fixing part 2 from falling off the bathtub body 1 and ensuring the stability of the fixing part 2 installation.

[0052] External force can be used to detach the anti-detachment block 9 from the anti-detachment groove 10, thereby allowing the fixing component 2 to be removed from the bathtub body 1.

[0053] like Figure 6 The anti-detachment block 9 has a guide surface 11, which is used to guide the anti-detachment block 9 to slide into the anti-detachment groove 10, so as to facilitate the installation of the fixing part 2 onto the bathtub body 1.

[0054] like Figure 7 An anti-slip pad 16 is installed in the middle of the locking block 8. The anti-slip pad is a rubber block, a silicone block, or a block with high surface friction. The lower end of the anti-slip pad 16 protrudes from the lower surface of the fixing member 2, so that the anti-slip pad 16 and the ground can avoid the slippage of the bathtub body 1 through friction, thus ensuring the stability of the bathtub body 1 and the safety of use.

[0055] like Figure 1 The second basin 4 has a reclining chair section 12 for the user to lie down. The reclining chair section 12 is curved to fit the user's back and buttocks. One end of the reclining chair section 12 has a leg rest area 13 for the user's legs to rest. The other end of the reclining chair section 12 has a support protrusion 14 for supporting the user's head or neck.
