[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This invention improves the pool frame using a corrugated cardboard box structure. During product packaging and transportation, the corrugated cardboard box-shaped pool frame is in an open, folded state, reducing transportation volume by 70%–80% compared to rigid foam materials. Users assemble the pool by sealing and folding the corrugated cardboard box to form the pool frame. This reduces transportation volume and is environmentally friendly and recyclable. A corrugated cardboard frame is filled inside the corrugated cardboard box, improving the overall support strength. An innovative design involves adding a 1cm–5cm PE cotton insulation layer to the side of the corrugated cardboard box-shaped pool frame close to the inner wall of the pool. A protective plate is installed at the top of the pool frame, improving the vertical strength of the pool wall. Attached Figure Description

[0021] In the description of this application, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified. All directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, top, bottom, etc.) in the embodiments of this application are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the figures). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. 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 IoT terminal that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or IoT terminals.
[0022] Furthermore, the reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0024] To address the drawbacks of existing rigid foam materials, such as large transport volume, environmental unfriendliness, high product transportation costs, and the inherent difficulty in biodegradability in nature, this invention provides the following technical solution:
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a non-inflatable pool, including a pool wall and a pool bottom. The pool wall includes an inner pool wall, an outer pool wall, and an internal space disposed between the inner and outer pool walls. The internal space is filled with a pool frame, which is composed of several corrugated cardboard boxes. The pool bottom and pool walls are both made of waterproof, soft composite reinforcing material, such as mesh fabric, artificial leather, or composite material.
[0026] Furthermore, the corrugated cardboard boxes are joined together at the corners, with the joining surfaces of the corrugated cardboard boxes on the horizontal plane of the pool frame. The inner and outer walls of the pool prevent the pool frame from collapsing.
[0027] Furthermore, the opening of the corrugated cardboard box is positioned on the splicing surface of the water tank frame. Positioning the opening on the splicing surface of the water tank frame makes the cardboard box manufacturing process easier and allows for the formation of the required slope.
[0028] The inner wall flap of the pool frame made of the corrugated cardboard box is shorter than the outer wall flap of the pool frame. When the flap is closed, it forms the slope required for assembly.
[0029] Furthermore, the corrugated direction of the corrugated cardboard box is set in the vertical direction of the pool frame. The compressive strength in the corrugated direction is higher than that in the non-corrugated direction, with the aim of improving the support strength of the pool frame for people sitting on it.
[0030] Furthermore, the interior of the pool frame made of corrugated cardboard boxes is filled with corrugated cardboard frames to improve the overall support of the pool frame.
[0031] Furthermore, the pool frame is provided with an insulation layer near the inner wall of the pool, and the insulation layer can be PE cotton of 1cm to 5cm.
[0032] Furthermore, a protective plate is installed above the pool frame to improve the vertical strength of the pool wall. The protective plate can be made of PE cotton or cardboard, and it can be snapped onto the pool frame.
[0033] Furthermore, the corrugated cardboard boxes are glued together at the corners, and the glued surfaces of the corrugated cardboard boxes are on the horizontal surface of the pool frame.
[0034] The opening of the corrugated cardboard box is positioned horizontally along the pool frame. The inner and outer walls of the pool frame corresponding to the corrugated cardboard box are formed by bonding two corrugated cardboard pieces together, with the bonding point located at the joint surface of the pool frame. The corrugated cardboard box is typically formed by one corrugated cardboard piece forming one bonding surface, or two corrugated cardboard pieces forming two bonding surfaces.
[0035] Furthermore, the corrugated cardboard boxes can also be interlocked and connected to each other.
[0036] Furthermore, the non-inflatable pool can be circular, elliptical, or polygonal in shape, and the inner and outer pool walls are connected by zippers, buckles, buttons, or ropes to cover the pool frame.
[0037] The basic principles of this application have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should be noted that the advantages, benefits, and effects mentioned in this application are merely examples and not limitations, and should not be considered as essential features of each embodiment of this application.
