Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shower racks, and in particular to a smart shower rack with adjustable height and anti-slip feet. Background Technology

[0002] In infant bathing and care scenarios, bath stands are needed to provide standing support for infants, assist in care procedures, and ensure bathing safety. However, bathing environments are often damp and prone to water accumulation, placing stringent requirements on the anti-slip stability, height adjustment precision, and locking reliability of the bath stand. It is essential to ensure that the device does not slip and remains highly stable during use to prevent safety hazards caused by structural failure.

[0003] Most existing baby bath racks use simple support structures: in actual use, the device is prone to sliding and displacement due to insufficient friction caused by wet ground; and the single locking structure has limited strength, and when the baby is bumped or touched by external force, the buckle may loosen or the height may fall unexpectedly, making it impossible to maintain a stable support height. This makes it difficult to meet the requirements for anti-slip stability and height locking reliability during bathing, and poses a significant safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, a smart, height-adjustable shower rack with anti-slip pads is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a smart, height-adjustable bath rack with anti-slip pads, aiming to improve the problem that some devices in the prior art are prone to becoming loose at height, accidentally falling back, and failing to provide continuous and stable support, thus increasing the risk of infants and young children slipping and falling.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A smart, height-adjustable shower rack with anti-slip pads includes two sliding plates. A limiting plate is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding plates. A sliding rod is slidably connected to the bottom end of the sliding plates. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod. A sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod. A limiting block is fixedly connected inside the sliding block. Multiple locking blocks are slidably connected inside the limiting block. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the adjacent end of every two locking blocks. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod. Two limiting locking plates are slidably connected inside the limiting plate.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] Two sliding plates are rotatably connected to a sliding column at their adjacent ends. A support column is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding column. A base is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support column. An anti-slip pad is provided at the bottom end of the base. A support frame is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding column.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The bottom ends of the two limiting plates are rotatably connected to the outside of the top of the base, and the outside of the sliding block is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting plates;

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding block;

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The top of the limiting block is inclined. When sliding upward, the limiting block slides inside the limiting plate. When the limiting plate slides, it moves along the inclined surface of the limiting block, thus ensuring the opening and closing of the limiting block.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The sliding rod is disposed inside the bottom end of the sliding plate and slides. When the limiting block is engaged inside the limiting plate, the sliding plate slides outside the sliding rod and is reset under the elastic force of the spring.

[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] This invention achieves a safe and stable effect through an anti-slip mat and a multi-locking structure. The anti-slip mat increases friction with the ground, preventing the bath rack from sliding; the engagement of the limiting block and the locking of the limiting plate against the limiting block form a double fixing mechanism, ensuring height stability during bathing, providing reliable support for infants and toddlers, and reducing the risk of slipping. A flexible and adaptable effect is achieved through a coordinated coarse and fine adjustment system. The sliding connection between the sliding column and the support column allows for rapid adjustment over a wide range, while the cooperation between the sliding plate and the limiting plate enables precise fine-tuning within a small range. The combination of these two systems allows for flexible height setting according to the infant's height and bathing needs, improving comfort and usability. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a smart height-adjustable bath rack with anti-slip pads, comprising two sliding plates 5 rotatably connected to the near ends of a sliding column 4, forming a "linkage structure". By applying external force to pull / press, it can slide within a small range in the vertical direction within a limiting plate 6, converting the caregiver's operating force into a height fine-tuning action to meet the needs of subtle height differences in infants or the need for dynamic adjustments during bathing, such as switching the appropriate height according to sitting or standing postures. The limiting plate 6 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding plate 5, and is slidably sleeved on the outside of the sliding plate 5. On the one hand, it provides a vertical guide track for the sliding plate 5, forcibly limiting the sliding plate 5 to move only in the height direction, avoiding deviation or shaking during adjustment; on the other hand, it accommodates locking components such as a sliding block 9 and a limiting plate 14 in the internal space, providing a physical environment for the height locking mechanism and ensuring the accuracy of the fine-tuning process. A sliding rod 7 is slidably connected inside the bottom end of the sliding plate 5, embedded inside the bottom end of the sliding plate 5, and moves synchronously with the sliding plate 5. During height adjustment, the sliding plate 5 extends and retracts within itself, working in conjunction with spring 8 to achieve a "potential energy storage-release" cycle: when the sliding plate 5 is displaced, it compresses / stretches spring 8, storing elastic force for subsequent reset actions; during the reset phase, it releases potential energy, causing the sliding plate 5 to return to its initial adjustment trajectory. This serves as a "force transmission bridge" connecting the fine-tuning operation and the locking structure. Spring 8 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 7, with the two ends anchored to the sliding plate 5 and the sliding block 9, respectively. Its core function is dynamic energy storage and reset drive: when the sliding plate 5 is displaced, the spring 8 is compressed / stretched, converting mechanical energy into elastic potential energy for storage; after the external force is removed, the elastic potential energy is released, driving the sliding plate 5 to attempt reset, providing "pre-tightening force" for height locking, while ensuring the reversibility of the adjustment operation and repeated height adjustment. The sliding rod 7 is set inside the bottom end of the sliding plate 5 and slides. When the limiting block 10 is engaged inside the limiting plate 6, the sliding plate 5 slides outside the sliding rod 7 and resets under the elastic force of the spring 8. One end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding plate 5, and the other end of the spring 8 is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding block 9.

[0029] Reference Figures 3 to 5A sliding block 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding rod 7, connecting the sliding rod 7 and the limiting block 10. It slides synchronously with the sliding plate 5 within the limiting plate 6. Its function is displacement transmission and structural connection: it converts the linear displacement of the sliding plate 5 and the sliding rod 7 into the movement of the limiting block 10. At the same time, it serves as the mounting carrier for the limiting block 10 and the spring 8, integrating the fine-tuning execution structure and the locking trigger structure to achieve the connection and transition of the "adjustment-locking" action. The bottom ends of the two limiting plates 6 are rotatably connected to the top of the base 1. The outside of the sliding block 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting plate 6. The inside of the sliding block 9 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 10, which is fixed inside the sliding block 9. The top end is provided with a sloping structure. The function is divided into two stages: during adjustment, the inclined plane interacts with the limiting plate 14, squeezing the locking block 11 to make it retract, thus allowing the sliding block 9 and the sliding plate 5 to move; during locking, it moves to a specific locking position on the limiting plate 6, using its own position to trigger the locking block 11 to pop out, while the inclined plane guides the limiting plate 14 to reset, thus constructing a "trigger core" for high-level locking, which is the key structure for realizing the dual locking of the locking block 11 and the limiting plate 14.

[0030] Multiple locking blocks 11 are slidably connected inside the limiting block 10 and linked to adjacent locking blocks 11 via telescopic rods 12. During the adjustment phase, when squeezed by the limiting plate 14, they retract along the inside of the limiting block 10 to avoid the movement of the sliding block 9 and the limiting block 10. During the locking phase, under the elastic force of the second spring 13, they pop out from the limiting block 10 and engage with the locking slot of the limiting plate 6, directly realizing the mechanical engagement between the sliding block 9 and the limiting plate 6. This is a highly locking actuator that physically locks the position of the sliding plate 5. A telescopic rod 12 is fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of every two locking blocks 11, connecting adjacent locking blocks 11 and providing telescopic guidance and structural support for the locking blocks 11. When the locking block 11 retracts, the telescopic rod 12 compresses synchronously, ensuring the stability of the locking block 11's retraction trajectory. When the locking block 11 pops out, the telescopic rod 12 extends and resets, providing rigid support for the locking block 11 and ensuring that the locking block 11 can stably engage with the slot of the limiting plate 6 after popping out, avoiding locking failure due to structural deformation. A second spring 13 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 12, serving as the "power source" for the locking block 11 to pop out. When the locking block 11 retracts, the second spring 13 is compressed and stores elastic force. After the limiting block 10 moves to a specific locking position, the second spring 13 releases its elastic force, pushing the locking block 11 to pop out quickly from inside the limiting block 10, ensuring that the locking block 11 accurately engages with the slot of the limiting plate 6, enhancing the reliability and response speed of the height locking. Two limiting plates 14 are slidably connected inside the limiting plate 6, engaging with the inclined surface of the limiting block 10. During adjustment, the limit block 10 slides along the inclined surface, squeezing the locking block 11 to retract it, creating conditions for the sliding block 9 to move. During locking, the limit block 10 is reset along the inclined surface, blocking the movement path of the limit block 10. The locking mechanism is formed by the locking block 11 and the locking plate 6. The limit plate 14 restricts the displacement of the limit block 10, and the locking block 11 restricts the displacement of the sliding block 9, which greatly improves the stability of the height lock and prevents the height from loosening due to external force during bathing. The top of the limit block 10 is an inclined surface. When sliding upward, the limit block 10 slides inside the limit plate 6. When the limit plate 14 slides, it moves along the inclined surface of the limit block 10, thus ensuring the opening and closing of the limit block 10.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Two sliding plates 5 are rotatably connected to a sliding column 4 at their adjacent ends, which, together with the support column 3, form a "main frame". By being fitted and slidably connected to the outside of the support column 3, they can move in a wide range along the vertical direction of the support column 3. This structure provides a coarse height adjustment dimension for the device. Caregivers can quickly push and pull the sliding column 4 to adjust the basic height of the top support frame 15, adapting to the initial needs of infants and toddlers of different heights or bathing scenarios. The external sliding column 4 is connected to the support column 3, which serves as the fixed load-bearing end of the "main frame". It vertically connects the base 1 and the sliding column 4, restricting the vertical direction of the sliding trajectory of the sliding column 4 and bearing the vertical load of the device, including the weight of the infant and toddler and the self-weight of the structure, ensuring the structural stability during coarse height adjustment. It is the basic support structure for achieving a wide range of height adjustments. The bottom end of the support column 3 is fixedly connected to the base 1, which serves as the basic load-bearing unit of the bath rack. It is used to stably place the device in the bathing area, such as the bathroom floor, providing a bottom support benchmark for the entire device. With its own structural area and gravity distribution, it works in conjunction with the anti-slip pad 2 to suppress the overall sliding tendency of the device, creating a safe bathing environment. The bottom end of the base 1 is equipped with an anti-slip pad 2, which fits against the bottom end of the base 1. It utilizes the high friction characteristics of materials such as rubber and silicone to increase the friction with the bathing floor. Even in wet or puddled conditions, the shower rack effectively prevents displacement, reducing the risk of infants and toddlers falling due to slippage and enhancing stability during bathing. A support frame 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding column 4, employing a ring-shaped design. This provides physical support for infants and toddlers during standing baths: the ring-shaped enclosure helps them maintain a standing position, preventing falls; it also provides hand grips and a support surface, improving comfort and safety during bathing.

[0032] Working principle: Before use, the base 1 is stably placed in the bathing area by the anti-slip pad 2 at the bottom, and the friction of the anti-slip pad 2 prevents the whole body from sliding. The sliding column 4 is sleeved and slidably connected to the outside of the support column 3, and the two form the "main frame" for basic height adjustment; two sliding plates 5 are rotatably connected to the near ends of the sliding column 4 to form a "linkage structure" for height fine adjustment; the limiting plate 6 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the sliding plate 5 to provide guidance and limiting space for the movement of the sliding plate 5. The sliding rod 7 is embedded in the bottom end of the sliding plate 5, and the spring 8 is sleeved on the outside of it. The two ends of the spring 8 are fixed to the bottom end of the sliding plate 5 and the top end of the sliding block 9, respectively; the limiting block 10 is fixed inside the sliding block 9, and multiple locking blocks 11 are slidably connected inside the limiting block 10. The near ends of every two locking blocks 11 are connected by a telescopic rod 12, and the telescopic rod 12 is sleeved on the outside of a spring 13; two limiting locking plates 14 are also slidably connected inside the limiting plate 6, which together form a "locking system" for height locking. The top support frame 15 provides a circular support space for infants and young children to stand and bathe.

[0033] When the height of the shower rack needs to be adjusted to suit the height of infants or toddlers or their bathing needs, first apply an external force to the sliding plate 5, such as pulling it upwards or pressing it downwards, to drive the sliding plate 5 to slide vertically inside the limiting plate 6. During this process, the sliding rod 7 at the bottom of the sliding plate 5 moves synchronously with the sliding plate 5. Since one end of the spring 8 is fixed to the sliding plate 5 and the other end is fixed to the sliding block 9, the displacement of the sliding plate 5 will compress or stretch the spring 8, allowing it to store elastic potential energy, preparing for subsequent reset and locking.

[0034] As the sliding plate 5 continues to move, the sliding block 9 connected to the bottom of the sliding rod 7 slides synchronously inside the limiting plate 6. The limiting block 10 inside the sliding block 9 moves accordingly, and its top is designed with a sloping structure. When the limiting block 10 slides upward, it interacts with the limiting plate 14 inside the limiting plate 6: when the limiting plate 14 slides, it moves along the sloping surface of the limiting block 10, squeezing the locking block 11 inside the limiting block 10. After being squeezed, the locking block 11 retracts into the limiting block 10. The "retraction action" is achieved through the telescopic support of the telescopic rod 12 and the compression deformation of the second spring 13. The second spring 13 stores elastic force during this process.

[0035] When the sliding plate 5 reaches the target height, the external force is removed. At this time, the elastic potential energy of spring 8 is released, attempting to reset the sliding plate 5. However, the special structure of the limiting block 10 triggers a "locking mechanism": when the limiting block 10 moves to a specific locking position within the limiting plate 6, the locking block 11 pops out from inside the limiting block 10 under the elastic force of spring 13 and locks into the corresponding slot within the limiting plate 6; simultaneously, the limiting plate 14 resets along the inclined surface of the limiting block 10, blocking the movement path of the limiting block 10. Through the engagement of the locking block 11 with the limiting plate 6 and the linkage between the limiting plate 14 and the limiting block 10, the sliding block 9 is fixed in its current position inside the limiting plate 6, thereby locking the position of the sliding plate 5 and completing the height adjustment and fixation.

[0036] If the height needs to be adjusted again, apply an external force in the opposite direction, such as pressing down or pulling up the sliding plate 5, to drive the sliding plate 5 to move in the initial direction. During this process, the sliding rod 7, sliding block 9, and limiting block 10 move in opposite directions simultaneously. The inclined surface of the limiting block 10 presses against the limiting plate 14 again, forcing the locking block 11 to retract and disengage from the locking plate 6 slot; the spring 8 is compressed / stretched again, storing potential energy. After the sliding plate 5 moves to the new target height, repeat the process of "removing the external force → the spring 8 releasing potential energy → the locking block 11 popping out and engaging → the limiting plate 14 resetting and locking" to fix the new height.

[0037] In addition to the "fine-tuning system" consisting of the sliding plate 5 and the limiting plate 6, the sliding connection between the sliding column 4 and the support column 3 provides a coarse-adjustment dimension: by manually pushing and pulling the sliding column 4, allowing it to slide up and down outside the support column 3, the basic height of the support frame 15 can be quickly adjusted. The coarse and fine-tuning mechanisms work together to achieve an intelligent height adjustment effect of "large-range rapid adjustment + small-range precise adaptation". At the same time, the anti-slip pad 2 of the base 1 continuously ensures the stability of the device, preventing slippage during bathing and providing safe support for infants and young children to stand up during bathing.

[0038] The entire workflow revolves around the core logic of "sliding plate 5 displacement → spring energy storage → limit block 10 linkage → locking block 11 retraction / expansion → structural locking / unlocking." Height adjustment and fixation are achieved through the elastic deformation springs 8 and 13, the inclined sliding limit block 10 and limit plate 14, and the locking block 11 and limit plate 6. The precise coordination of each component ensures both flexibility in height adjustment and safety through the anti-slip pad 2 and multiple locking structures, ultimately providing a stable and adjustable support environment for infants' standing baths.
