Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom equipment technology, specifically to a waterproof and dimmable bathtub rim concealed light strip structure. Background technology:

[0002] Existing bathtub lighting fixtures mostly employ exposed LED strip designs, which not only detract from the overall aesthetics of the bathtub but are also susceptible to damage from impacts. Some concealed LED strip structures suffer from complex installation and light drop-offs at corners, affecting the uniformity of illumination. Insufficient waterproofing is a common pain point in the industry; traditional LED strips are prone to moisture seepage through the gaps between the strip and the mounting groove, leading to short circuits, light attenuation, and other malfunctions, significantly shortening their lifespan. Furthermore, most products lack convenient dimming functionality, failing to meet users' lighting needs in different scenarios, such as switching between soft lighting for bathing and strong lighting for cleaning. In addition, replacing and maintaining existing LED strip structures requires disassembling numerous components, making the process cumbersome and increasing user costs. The rigid design of corner connections easily creates dust accumulation dead zones, making cleaning difficult and hindering the maintenance of a clean bathroom environment. Therefore, this utility model proposes a waterproof, dimmable, concealed LED strip structure along the edge of the bathtub to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of existing technologies. Utility model content:

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a waterproof and dimmable bathtub rim concealed light strip structure.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A waterproof, dimmable, concealed light strip structure for a bathtub rim includes a supporting outer frame, a supporting base plate, a bathtub body, a concealed mounting structure, and a light strip. The supporting base plate is installed between the supporting outer frames, the bathtub body is placed inside the supporting outer frames, and the concealed mounting structure is installed on the top of the supporting outer frames.

[0006] The concealed installation structure includes an aluminum light trough, a corner arc, and a corner cover. The corner arc is installed at the corner of the supporting outer frame. The aluminum light trough is detachably connected to both sides of the corner arc. The top inner side of the aluminum light trough is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove for the light strip to be snapped in. The corner cover is detachably installed on the top of the corner arc.

[0007] Preferably, the corner cover has clamping grooves on both sides of its bottom and a through hole on its top.

[0008] Preferably, the corner cover has a plug-in block on its side, and the top of the corner arc has a plug-in slot for connecting the plug-in block.

[0009] Preferably, a limiting block is connected to the bottom of the corner arc, and the top corner of the supporting outer frame can be inserted between the limiting block and the side of the corner arc.

[0010] Preferably, the inner side and bottom of the aluminum lamp trough are provided with reflective surfaces.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through its concealed structural design, this utility model ensures the lighting function without compromising the aesthetics of the bathtub. The sealed combination of the aluminum light trough and the rounded corner enhances waterproof performance and extends service life. The reflective surface design improves light utilization, and the smooth corner transition avoids light interruption. The detachable connection structure of this utility model facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the light strip. The dimming function adapts to various scenarios. The overall structure is simple and practical, enhancing the user experience. Attached image description:

[0018] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate this embodiment, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a waterproof and dimmable bathtub rim concealed light strip structure includes a supporting outer frame 001, a supporting base plate 002, a bathtub body 003, a concealed installation structure 004, and a light strip 005. The supporting base plate 002, made of 304 stainless steel, is installed between the supporting outer frame 001 and is fixedly connected to the supporting base plate 002 by screws to form a stable load-bearing structure. The bathtub body 003 is placed inside the supporting outer frame 001, and the concealed installation structure 004 is installed on the top of the supporting outer frame 001.

[0020] The concealed installation structure 004 includes an aluminum light trough 410, a corner arc 420, and a corner cover 430. The corner arc 420 is installed at the corner of the supporting outer frame 001. The aluminum light trough 410 is detachably connected to both sides of the corner arc 420. The top inner side of the aluminum light trough 410 has a snap-fit ​​groove 411 for the light strip 005 to be snapped in. The light strip 005 is an IP67-rated flexible LED light strip. The corner cover 430 is detachably installed on the top of the corner arc 420. The aluminum light trough 410 is made of 6063 aluminum alloy and is anodized. The width of the snap-fit ​​groove 411 on the inner side matches the light strip 005. The aluminum light trough 410 and the corner arc 420 are detachably connected to each other by mounting screws, and the joints are filled with waterproof adhesive strips.

[0021] Further optimizations to this solution include: Figure 1-6 As shown, the corner cover 430 has clamping grooves 431 on both sides of the bottom, and a through hole 432 on the top of the corner cover 430. The light strip 005 is connected to the existing dimming controller by introducing a wire through the through hole 432.

[0022] Further optimizations to this solution include: Figure 1-6 As shown, the corner cover 430 has a plug-in block 433 on its side, and the top of the corner arc 420 has a plug-in groove 421 for the plug-in block 433 to be connected.

[0023] Further optimizations to this solution include: Figure 1-6 As shown, the bottom of the corner arc 420 is connected to the limit block 422, and the top corner of the supporting outer frame 001 can be inserted between the limit block 422 and the side of the corner arc 420.

[0024] Further optimizations to this solution include: Figure 1-6 As shown, the inner side and bottom of the aluminum light trough 410 are provided with reflective surfaces 412. The reflective surfaces 412 are mirror polished and have a reflectivity of ≥85%, which effectively improves the uniformity of illumination.

[0025] The positional relationships described in the figures are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting this patent.
