Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom building materials technology, specifically to a hidden, liftable, and foldable handrail on the skirt of a massage bathtub. Background Technology

[0002] Bathroom building materials are a general term encompassing all materials and appliances used for the renovation, decoration, and functional realization of toilets and bathrooms, covering a wide range. Sanitary ware is the core component, including toilets, bathtubs, shower heads, and washbasins, meeting basic needs such as washing, bathing, and toileting. A massage bathtub, as a type of bathroom building material, is a bathroom device integrating hydro-massage functions. It mainly consists of a tub, a massage system (such as nozzles, a water pump, and pipes), and a control system. Its core feature is that the water pump drives water flow through nozzles, creating water jets of varying intensities and angles that massage the shoulders, neck, back, and legs, relieving muscle fatigue, promoting blood circulation, and relaxing the mind and body. The tub is often made of acrylic, cast iron, or steel, and comes in various shapes, including freestanding and built-in designs, to suit different bathroom spaces. Some high-end massage bathtubs also feature constant temperature heating, bubble massage, and LED lighting ambiance, further enhancing the bathing experience through the combined effects of water flow and bubbles, making them a choice for those seeking a high-quality bathroom lifestyle. Handrails in a whirlpool bathtub are auxiliary devices installed around the bathtub or on the tub itself. They are primarily made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or engineering plastics, and are characterized by their anti-slip and corrosion-resistant properties. Their function is to provide support points for users when getting up, sitting down, or bathing. They are especially suitable for the elderly, children, or those with mobility issues, reducing the risk of slipping and falling, while enhancing stability and safety when using the whirlpool bathtub.

[0003] However, the existing massage bathtub handrails have certain defects. Since the current massage bathtub handrails cannot be adjusted in height or rotation, they are inconvenient for different people to use. After use, the handrails stand in place and cannot be folded up, which greatly affects the appearance. Furthermore, children are prone to collisions while playing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hidden, liftable, and foldable armrest on the skirt of a massage bathtub to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] The massage bathtub features a concealed, liftable, and foldable armrest along its skirt, comprising a mounting tube, a lifting tube, and an armrest body, with an adjustment component at the top of the mounting tube.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a spring sheet is provided on the inner side of the bottom of the lifting tube, a limit block is provided on the inner side of the fixing block, and the limit block is connected to one side of the spring sheet.

[0014] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The height and orientation of the handrail can be adjusted by raising and lowering the lifting tube within the installation tube, making it convenient for different users. When the handrail is at different heights and orientations, the spring clips push the limiting block and fixing block, causing the fixing block to insert into different fixing slots, thus fixing the height and orientation of the handrail. After use, the fixing block is removed by pressing it into the fixing slot. Then, the handrail is moved downwards and placed against the side of the massage bathtub skirt, on the side of the installation tube, thus achieving a concealed storage effect. At this time, the fixing block aligns with the latch, and the spring clips push the fixing block into the latch to fix the handrail in place, preventing it from standing upright, ensuring aesthetics, and avoiding collisions with children.

The spring piece 32 pushes the fixing block 3 into the latch 12 to fix the armrest, preventing it from standing in place, thus ensuring aesthetics and preventing children from colliding with it.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the lifting tube 2 moves up and down and rotates in the installation tube 1, thereby adjusting the height and orientation of the handrail to facilitate use by different people. When the handrail is at different heights and orientations, the spring piece 32 pushes the limiting block 31 and the fixing block 3, so that the fixing block 3 is inserted into different fixing ports 11, thereby fixing the height and orientation of the handrail. After the handrail is used, the fixing block 3 is pressed to remove it from the fixing port 11. At this time, the handrail is moved downward and placed against the side of the massage bathtub skirt, on the side of the installation tube 1, which achieves the effect of storing and hiding the handrail. At this time, the fixing block 3 aligns with the bayonet 12. The spring piece 32 pushes the fixing block 3 into the bayonet 12 to fix the handrail, preventing it from standing in place, thus ensuring aesthetics and preventing children from colliding with it.
