Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0026] This utility model relates to a bathtub, including a tub body 100.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the inner cavity 110 of the cylinder 100 is used to store water, allowing users to lie in the inner cavity 110 for bathing. The inner wall of the inner cavity 110 of the cylinder 100 includes a support surface 200, a first side surface 300, and a second side surface 400. The support surface 200 is the bottom surface of the inner cavity 110, and it is mainly used to support the user's lower body, such as the buttocks and legs. The first side surface 300 and the second side surface 400 are the front and rear side walls of the inner cavity 110, respectively. The front side of the support surface 200 connects to the bottom side of the first side surface 300, and the rear side of the support surface 200 connects to the bottom side of the second side surface 400. The cavity also has a third side surface 710 and a fourth side surface 720 distributed to the left and right. The first side surface 300, the second side surface 400, the third side surface 710, and the fourth side surface 720 are sequentially connected to form the circumferential side walls of the inner cavity 110. The support surface 200 can be set as a horizontal surface, or it can be set as a surface that is concave downwards or has other shapes. The first side surface 300 is inclined, forming a first angle 310 with the horizontal direction, and the first angle 310 faces the inner cavity 110. For example, if the support surface 200 is set as a horizontal plane, then the first side surface 300 and the support surface 200 form the first angle 310. The first angle 310 is an obtuse angle, and the angle of the first angle 310 is C. C can be 100°, 105°, 110°, 125°, 130°, 136°, 140°, 143°, 150°, 155°, 160°, etc. Preferably, the angle C of the first angle 310 is in the range of 110°≤C≤150°, and C can be any degree between 110°, 150°, and 110° and 150°. After the user enters the inner cavity 110 of the cylinder 100, the user's buttocks rest on the support surface 200, and the user's back rests on the first side 300. When the first included angle 310 is set within the aforementioned angle range, it can increase the contact area between the user's back and the first side 300 and reduce the pressure on the buttock muscles. Within this angle range, the body's center of gravity can be lowered, reducing the vertical distance between the heart and knees. Combined with the buoyancy of water, this allows the user to approach a floating state, achieving the purpose of relaxation. The first side 300 is provided with a protrusion 320 protruding towards the inner cavity 110. The protrusion 320 can be arc-shaped. The relative height distance A between the highest point 321 of the protrusion 320 and the lowest point of the support surface 200 satisfies 10cm≤A≤30cm. Among them, A can take values ​​such as 10cm, 13cm, 15cm, 18cm, 20cm, 22cm, 25cm, 27cm, 30cm, etc. Preferably, the value of A is in the range of 15cm≤A≤25cm, where A can be 15cm, 25cm, or any value between 15cm and 25cm.It should be noted that the first side 300 is inclined along a straight plane, and the point on the protrusion 320 at the maximum distance from the straight plane on which the first side 300 is located is the highest protrusion point 321 of the protrusion 320 relative to the first side 300. After the user enters the inner cavity 110, the protrusion 320 can support the user's waist during the movement from sitting to semi-reclining. This lumbar support can distribute the weight of the upper body and reduce the pressure on the gluteal muscles. Compared with traditional flat-backed bathtubs, it allows the waist to no longer be suspended and has a fulcrum for support, reducing waist fatigue and making it more suitable for people who are used to soaking for long periods of time.

[0028] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the maximum protrusion height B of the highest protrusion point 321 of the protrusion 320 relative to the first side surface 300 satisfies 2cm ≤ B ≤ 10m. B can be 2cm, 2.5cm, 3cm, 4cm, 4.6cm, 5cm, 5.5cm, 6cm, 6.8cm, 7cm, 8cm, 9cm, 10cm, etc. Preferably, the value of B is in the range of 3cm ≤ B ≤ 8m, that is, B can be 3cm, 8cm, or any value between 3cm and 8cm. Within this range, the protrusion 320 best conforms to the concave position of the user's waist when semi-reclining, is more suitable for the natural shape of the human spine, reduces muscle pressure caused by a flat backrest, allows the body to relax more and approach a natural state, and has a high degree of comfort in supporting the waist.

[0029] In one embodiment, the top of the first side surface 300 is provided with an arc portion 330, which extends in an arc shape away from the second side surface 400. The arc portion 330 may be tangent to the upper part of the first side surface 300. The radius of the arc portion 330 is D, which satisfies 80mm≤D≤220mm. D can take values ​​such as 80mm, 85mm, 90mm, 95mm, 100mm, 106mm, 110mm, 130mm, 145mm, 160mm, 176mm, 185mm, 190mm, 200mm, 210mm, 220mm, etc. When the user leans against the first side surface 300, the user's head tilts back, and the arc portion 330 can support the user's head and neck.

[0030] In one embodiment, the second side surface 400 forms a second included angle 410 in the horizontal direction, which is an obtuse angle toward the inner cavity 110. For example, if the supporting surface 200 is set to a horizontal plane and the second side surface 400 is set at an angle, the second included angle 410 is formed between the second side surface 400 and the supporting surface 200. The angle of the second included angle 410 is E, which satisfies 85°≤E≤130°. E can be 85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 106°, 110°, 115°, 120°, 130°, etc. The user lies semi-reclined in the cylinder 100, and his / her legs and feet are naturally relaxed under the action of water buoyancy. The feet face the second side surface 400, and the foot can step on the second side surface 400. The second included angle 410, within the above-mentioned angle range, can adapt to the user's ankle opening angle, making the user's feet more comfortable when stepping on the second side surface 400.

[0031] In one embodiment, the support surface 200 includes a first surface 210 and a second surface 220. The first surface 210 is connected to a first side surface 300, and the second surface 220 is connected to a second side surface 400. The first surface 210 and the second surface 220 can be configured as horizontal surfaces, or as inclined surfaces, concave surfaces, etc. The second surface 220 and the first surface 210 have a height difference, with the highest point of the second surface 220 being higher than the lowest point of the first surface 210, and the height difference between the highest point of the second surface 220 and the lowest point of the first surface 210 is F, which satisfies 4cm ≤ F ≤ 18cm. F can take values ​​of 4cm, 5cm, 6cm, 7cm, 8cm, 8.5cm, 9cm, 10cm, 11cm, 12.5cm, 13cm, 14cm, 15cm, etc. The first surface 210 is mainly used to support the user's buttocks, and the second surface 220 is mainly used to support the user's legs. The height difference between the first surface 210 and the second surface 220 restricts the user's hips from sliding from the first side 300 to the second side 400, thus preventing the user from sliding towards the second side 400 when in a semi-reclining position. Simultaneously, the height difference between the second surface 220 and the first surface 210 keeps the knee height as close as possible to the heart height, creating a feeling of suspension. The first surface 210 and the second surface 220 are connected by a tilted third surface 230. The third surface 230 forms a third included angle 231 along the horizontal direction, pointing towards the first side 300 at an obtuse angle. For example, if the first surface 210 is horizontal, the third included angle 231 is formed between the third surface 230 and the first surface 210. The angle of the third included angle 231 is G, which satisfies 125°≤G≤165°, and G can take values ​​such as 125°, 130°, 135°, 140°, 150°, 155°, 160°, and 165°. The third side 230 can provide local support for the user's buttocks and thighs, allowing the user's legs to bend naturally when lying down, making it more comfortable.

[0032] In one embodiment, the height difference between the support surface 200 and the outer bottom of the cylinder body 100 is no greater than 200mm. When a user steps into the inner cavity 110 from the outside of the cylinder body 100, the height difference of less than 200mm is suitable for most people's habits of going up and down stairs, and also provides enough space to accommodate the necessary accessories.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a handle 500 and / or control panel 600 are installed on the upper side of the bathtub. The handle 500 and control panel 600 can be located on the left or right side of the bathtub. When the handle 500 is installed, the horizontal distance H between the highest point of the first side 300 and the handle 500 satisfies 480mm ≤ H ≤ 830mm. H can take values ​​such as 480mm, 520mm, 545mm, 560mm, 600mm, 630mm, 680mm, 700mm, 750mm, 800mm, and 830mm. When the user is reclining, their neck or head can rest on the highest point of the first side 300. The handle 500 mainly assists in getting up; the first step is pulling the body upright, and the second step is providing support to stand up. The position of the handle 500 allows the user to easily switch from a reclining to a sitting position by holding the handle 500. During bathtub use, users can rest their hands on the handle 500 for support. When the control panel 600 is installed, the horizontal distance J between the highest point of the first side 300 and the control panel 600 satisfies J≤700mm. The control panel 600 controls the bathtub's spray system, hydro-massage system, etc. This range allows most users to operate the control panel 600 while in a semi-reclined position.
