Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of washing and care products, and specifically relates to a washing and care carrier suitable for children's washing and care devices. [Background Technology]
[0002] With families increasingly demanding higher levels of safety and convenience in infant and toddler care, child-specific bathing and care equipment has become an indispensable part of modern parenting. Existing childcare products, such as baby bathtubs, bath chairs, or sitting bath tables, typically support children through simple recessed structures or back supports. While these meet basic support requirements to some extent, the support surface is a single, flat structure, lacking proper zoning for the child's body posture. This results in an unnatural transition between upper and lower body support, leading to fatigue and increased risk of sliding forward, backward, or tilting in slippery environments, posing safety hazards. Secondly, existing products generally have rudimentary drainage designs, with wastewater often accumulating in localized areas of the support surface, especially around the buttocks and back. This not only affects bathing comfort but can also cause skin irritation due to prolonged soaking. Furthermore, overflowing wastewater can make the bathroom floor slippery, increasing the risk of secondary falls. [Utility Model Content]
[0003] To address the issues of discomfort and poor drainage in existing technologies, this application provides a washing and care carrier suitable for child washing and care devices.
[0004] This application is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A child-friendly bathing and care device includes a support member comprising an upper body support portion and a lower body support portion, with a drain outlet formed between the lower body support portions.
[0006] As described above, in a child-friendly washing and care device, the upper body support and the lower body support are inclined toward the drain outlet.
[0007] As described above, a child care device is provided with mounting slots on both sides of the support member for a safety belt to pass through and be installed to restrain the child on the support member. The mounting slots extend outward to form an arc-shaped enclosure.
[0008] As described above, in a child-friendly washing and care device, the upper body support portion bends and converges from both sides toward the center to form a curved surface that guides wastewater to flow toward the lower body support portion.
[0009] As described above, a child care device is provided with a non-slip mat on the support component.
[0010] As described above, in a child-friendly washing and care device, the anti-slip mats are respectively disposed on the upper body support and the lower body support.
[0011] As described above, a child-friendly bathing and care device includes a non-slip mat made of silicone material.
[0012] As described above, in a child care device, the upper body support extends upward and bends relative to the lower body support to form an angle α, wherein 30°≤α≤50°.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:
[0014] This application discloses a child-friendly bathing device. By designing the support component to include an upper body support and a lower body support, with a drain outlet formed between the lower body support components, it achieves segmented stable support for the child's body and efficient drainage of bathing wastewater. The upper body support conforms to the child's back and upper head area, providing good support, while the lower body support supports the thighs and buttocks, making the child's sitting posture more natural and stable, effectively preventing slipping and tipping. At the same time, the drain outlet between the two parts serves as a centralized drainage channel. Combined with the overall inclined structure in this direction, wastewater flowing through the support component is quickly collected and discharged under gravity, avoiding accumulation in the buttocks and back areas.

Detailed Implementation Methods
[0022] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects clearer, this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit this application.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 6 A washing and care device suitable for children includes a support 3, the support 3 including an upper body support 32 and a lower body support 33, with a drain outlet 34 formed between the lower body support 33.
[0024] This application discloses a child-friendly bathing device. By designing the support component to include an upper body support and a lower body support, with a drain outlet formed between the lower body support components, it achieves segmented stable support for the child's body and efficient drainage of bathing wastewater. The upper body support conforms to the child's back and upper head area, providing good support, while the lower body support supports the thighs and buttocks, making the child's sitting posture more natural and stable, effectively preventing slipping and tipping. At the same time, the drain outlet between the two parts serves as a centralized drainage channel. Combined with the overall inclined structure in this direction, wastewater flowing through the support component is quickly collected and discharged under gravity, avoiding accumulation in the buttocks and back areas. This not only improves the comfort and hygiene of the bathing process but also reduces the risk of bacterial growth. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, taking into account safety, functionality, and ease of cleaning.
[0025] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the anti-slip pads 35 are respectively disposed on the upper body support portion 32 and the lower body support portion 33.
[0026] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the anti-slip pad 35 is made of silicone material.
[0027] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the upper body support portion 32 extends upward relative to the lower body support portion 33 and bends to form an angle α, wherein 30°≤α≤50°.
[0028] In this embodiment, the angle design fully integrates the infant's sitting posture with ergonomic features, allowing the upper body support to naturally conform to the child's back curve, providing stable support and effectively supporting the weight of the upper body. This prevents backward or forward tilting due to muscle relaxation or slippery conditions during bathing. Simultaneously, this tilt angle range ensures the child's pelvis is in a slightly forward-tilted, stable sitting position, facilitating a good fit between the lower body and the lower body support, thus improving overall support stability. Furthermore, this tilted structure forms a smooth transition surface with the lower body support, guiding the back and... The wastewater flowing down the head naturally converges towards the center along the inclined direction and is quickly discharged through the drain, preventing water from stagnating in the shoulder, back, or buttock areas, significantly improving drainage efficiency and bathing comfort. The tilt angle α has been optimized and verified within the range of 30° to 50°, ensuring both support comfort and safety while taking into account structural strength and spatial compactness. This avoids insufficient support due to an angle that is too small or instability due to an angle that is too large, thus achieving an organic combination of efficient drainage and humanized design while ensuring the safety and comfort of children during bathing.
[0029] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, it includes a washing and care device body 1 connected to the support member 3, a shower device 4 and a wastewater tank 5 provided on the washing and care device body 1, the wastewater tank 5 being used to collect wastewater that falls after flowing through the support member 3.
[0030] In this embodiment, by setting a shower device on the main body of the washing and care device, the tedious operation of parents using a water ladle to pour water is eliminated, improving the bathing efficiency; while the wastewater tank can effectively collect the wastewater flowing through the support, avoiding the ground from being slippery and ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the use environment. The setting of the support legs does not require the user to squat or bend down, allowing the child to be bathed and cared for upright, thus achieving a more convenient, efficient and safe child washing and care experience.
[0031] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the shower device 4 includes a hot water tank 41 disposed within the main body 1 of the washing and care device, and a shower head 43 connected to the hot water tank 41 via a water pipe 42.
[0032] In this embodiment, an integrated water supply system is formed by embedding a hot water tank inside the main body of the bathing device and connecting it to the shower head via water pipes. The hot water tank is pre-connected to a hot water source or has an internal heating function to heat and store water. When in use, the warm water in the tank is delivered to the shower head via water pipes through a control valve or water pump. The shower head sprays water evenly for the user to shower and clean the child on the support. This structure not only achieves independent and continuous showering function, avoiding the tedious operation of frequently scooping water in traditional methods, but also improves the convenience and comfort of bathing. At the same time, since the hot water tank is integrated inside the main body of the device, it saves external space, making the overall structure more compact and beautiful, and reducing the clutter and safety hazards caused by external piping. The built-in design of the hot water tank also helps to retain heat, reduce heat loss, maintain a stable water temperature, and improve the user experience. In addition, this integrated water supply method can be further upgraded with a temperature display or constant temperature control module to achieve safe temperature control and prevent scalding of children. When the user needs to bathe the child, the desired water temperature can be set through the user interface / operation panel. After receiving the command, the controller checks the water temperature in the hot water tank as reported by the temperature sensor. If the water temperature is lower than the set value, the controller activates the heating element to heat the water in the tank. During the heating process, the temperature sensor continuously monitors the water temperature, and the controller stops heating when the water temperature reaches the set value. Simultaneously, the anti-dry-burning protection device continuously monitors the water level to prevent dry burning.
[0033] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the support member 3 is provided with mounting slots 31 on both sides for a seat belt to pass through and be installed to restrain the child on the support member 3.
[0034] In this embodiment, the mounting slots on both sides are used for the safety belt to pass through and be secured, thereby safely restraining the child on the support. The reasonable arrangement of the mounting slots ensures that the safety belt can be appropriately adjusted and tightened according to the child's body size, providing additional safety during bathing and preventing the child from slipping or falling due to accidental movements. This improves safety during use and allows parents to operate more freely when showering the child, eliminating the need to constantly support the child to prevent slipping, reducing the burden on parents and improving bathing efficiency. The mounting slots can be designed with locking mechanisms. The design of the seat belt makes installation and removal more convenient and ensures a secure connection, solving the problem of ordinary seat belts easily coming loose and further enhancing safety. The seat belt is made of soft and waterproof materials, such as TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) or high-density nylon with a PVC coating, and has anti-slip textures or comfort pads added to the part that contacts the skin. This ensures comfort and increases friction, preventing the seat belt from slipping due to sweating during activities, while also reducing irritation to children's delicate skin, resulting in a more comprehensive and considerate user experience.
[0035] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the support member 3 includes an upper body support portion 32 and a lower body support portion 33, with a drain outlet 34 formed between the lower body support portions 33, and the upper body support portion 32 and the lower body support portion 33 inclined toward the drain outlet 34.
[0036] In this embodiment, the support is composed of an upper body support section and a lower body support section, with a drain outlet formed between the lower body support sections. The overall structure is inclined from top to bottom towards the drain outlet. Through a segmented support design that conforms to the human sitting posture, the upper body support section supports the back and head, while the lower body support section supports the thighs and buttocks, forming a stable and comfortable sitting posture. At the same time, the inclined surface design allows the water flow and cleaning wastewater generated during showering to automatically converge towards the drain outlet in the middle under the action of gravity and be quickly discharged, avoiding water stagnation on the support surface and effectively preventing children's buttocks and back from being soaked in water for a long time. In water, this design enhances the hygiene and comfort of bathing. It not only improves the stability of children's sitting posture and reduces the risk of slipping, but also significantly improves drainage efficiency by guiding water flow for centralized discharge. Combined with the wastewater tank below, it enables the orderly collection of wastewater, preventing overflow and environmental pollution. A removable filter screen can be integrated at the drain outlet 34, effectively intercepting hair, dirt, and other debris that may be generated during bathing, preventing them from clogging the drain pipe or entering the wastewater tank. This simplifies the cleaning of the wastewater tank, extends the service life of the drainage system, and solves the potential drain outlet clogging problem in existing designs. Furthermore, a micro-textured anti-slip treatment can be added to the inclined surface of the support component 3, increasing friction for children while ensuring drainage efficiency, further preventing them from sliding in wet environments and improving bathing safety.
[0037] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the lower body support portion 33 extends outward on both sides to form an arc-shaped enclosure 331, and the mounting slot 31 is provided on the arc-shaped enclosure 331.
[0038] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped barrier forms an upward-extending protective boundary on both sides of the child's body, effectively preventing the child from slipping or falling to the side during bathing due to twisting, playing, or losing balance. This enhances the overall safety and restraint of the support. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped structure conforms to the natural posture of the human body, avoiding any sense of pressure and instead providing moderate support, thus enhancing sitting stability and comfort. The mounting slots are located on the arc-shaped barrier, allowing the safety belt to pass through from the side for secure fixation, improving the flexibility and reliability of the safety belt layout and avoiding the risk of slippage due to the safety belt being too low or at an unreasonable angle. This design also makes the installation and adjustment of the safety belt more convenient; parents can easily thread and fasten the belt from the outside of the support without needing to reach inside, making it particularly practical in space-constrained bathroom environments.
[0039] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the upper body support portion 32 is bent from both sides toward the center to form a curved surface that guides wastewater to flow toward the lower body support portion 33.
[0040] In this embodiment, utilizing the natural contours of the human back and the back of the head, an inwardly curving surface supports the child's upper body while creating a directional drainage path. During bathing, as water flows from the head and shoulders to the back area, this curved surface effectively prevents water from accumulating on the sides or back edges. Instead, the geometric guidance of the surface gradually gathers the dispersed water flow towards the center line and then directs it downwards to the connected lower body support, ultimately concentrating at the drain below. This prevents water from stagnating in the child's head, neck, or shoulder area for extended periods, improving bathing comfort and preventing discomfort or coldness caused by water accumulation around the head. It also significantly enhances overall drainage efficiency, ensuring the support surface remains relatively dry and clean, reducing bacterial growth and improving hygiene and safety. Furthermore, this curved surface design conforms to ergonomics, providing even back support, reducing localized pressure, and making the child's sitting posture more natural and stable.
[0041] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the drain outlet 34 is provided above the wastewater tank 5.
[0042] In this embodiment, a vertical or near-vertical direct drainage channel is established between the lowest drainage point of the support component—the drain outlet—and the wastewater tank located inside or at the bottom of the main body of the washing and care device. This allows the bathing wastewater flowing down from the support component to fall naturally and smoothly into the wastewater tank under gravity without the need for external piping or pumping devices, achieving centralized collection and storage of wastewater. This structure avoids the problems of poor water flow, stagnation, leakage, or noise caused by excessively long, winding drainage paths or the need for active pumping in traditional designs. It ensures that wastewater can be discharged in a timely manner during bathing, preventing water accumulation in the support area and improving the dryness and safety of the usage environment. At the same time, since the drain outlet is directly opposite the opening above the wastewater tank, the water flows directly down, reducing intermediate connecting parts, simplifying the overall structure, reducing manufacturing costs and failure rates, and improving the sealing and hygiene of the device, preventing sewage overflow from contaminating the interior of the washing and care device or other components.
[0043] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation, the main body 1 of the washing and care device is provided with a pull-out port 11 on one side for the wastewater tank 5 to be pulled out or put into the main body 1 of the washing and care device, and the main body 1 of the washing and care device is provided with an opening 12 corresponding to the drain outlet 34.
[0044] In this embodiment, a pull-out opening is provided on the side of the main body of the washing and care device, allowing the wastewater tank to slide in or out horizontally from the inside of the device, enabling convenient loading and unloading operations. The opening on the main body serves as a channel for the drainage path of the supporting component, allowing wastewater discharged from the drain to fall vertically into the wastewater tank located directly below it, forming a direct drainage path from top to bottom. This structural design not only ensures the sealing and efficiency of wastewater collection but also greatly facilitates the daily cleaning and maintenance of the wastewater tank. After showering, users do not need to empty or move the entire device; they can simply hold the wastewater tank handle and pull it out smoothly from the pull-out opening to thoroughly rinse and empty it in the sink or toilet. After cleaning, it can be pushed back in for continued use. The entire process is simple, clean, and hygienic, effectively solving the problems of inconvenient drainage, difficulty in cleaning internal water, and easy bacterial growth in traditional integrated washing and care devices. The pull-out structure also makes the replacement of the wastewater tank more flexible.
[0045] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the support member 3 is provided with an anti-slip pad 35.
[0046] In this embodiment, a flexible material layer with a high coefficient of friction is provided on the surface of the support component, specifically in key areas that directly contact the child's body, such as the upper and lower body support sections. This layer utilizes the surface roughness or elastic deformation characteristics to increase static friction with the child's clothing or skin, effectively preventing the child from sliding, shifting, or even tipping over during bathing due to water lubrication, body twisting, or sudden movements. This significantly improves safety and stability during bathing. The anti-slip mat not only maintains good anti-slip performance when wet but also provides a soft touch, reducing the pressure of hard plastic supports on the delicate skin of infants and improving sitting comfort. In possible embodiments, the anti-slip mat can adopt a segmented design, covering only slippery areas such as the hip support area and thigh support area, ensuring anti-slip effect without affecting overall drainage performance. Furthermore, the surface of the anti-slip mat can be provided with special structures such as a dot array, wave pattern, mesh pattern, or biomimetic sharkskin texture to further enhance its anti-slip properties. Enhanced grip at the microscopic level, maintaining highly effective anti-slip properties, especially in low-friction environments with soap or shower gel residue, solves the problem of significant decrease in anti-slip performance of traditional flat structures under wet conditions. Furthermore, anti-slip mats can also possess antibacterial and anti-mildew functions. Their materials or surface coatings contain silver ions, copper ions, or organic antibacterial agents, continuously inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold, making them particularly suitable for high-temperature, high-humidity bathroom environments, preventing odors and cross-infection. Anti-slip mats can be made of food-grade silicone, which has excellent flexibility, temperature resistance, and biocompatibility, a gentle touch, and is less likely to cause allergies. TPE can also be used, combining the elasticity of rubber with the processing convenience of plastics, being environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and wear-resistant. Foamed EVA materials can also be selected, which are lightweight, soft, and resilient, suitable for prolonged contact. In addition, high-density sponge composites with PVC anti-slip coatings or natural rubber materials are also viable options; the former is low-cost and easy to mold, while the latter has a high coefficient of friction and strong water resistance.
[0047] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this solution and not a limitation thereof, the main body 1 of the washing and care device is detachably connected to a top cover 44 for sealing the hot water tank 41.
[0048] In this embodiment, by detachably installing the top cover at the position corresponding to the water inlet of the hot water tank on the main body of the washing and care device, the sealing and opening of the internal space of the hot water tank can be controlled. When the top cover is closed, it can effectively prevent water vapor from escaping from the hot water tank, heat loss, and external dust and foreign objects from falling into the tank during heating or use, ensuring heating efficiency and water quality cleanliness, while improving safety and preventing users from accidentally touching high-temperature steam or internal components. When it is necessary to add water to the hot water tank or clean or maintain the tank, simply remove or open the top cover to expose the water inlet, making it convenient for users to add clean water or clean the internal scale, solving the problems of inconvenience in adding water and difficulty in cleaning traditional closed water tanks.
[0049] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:
[0050] This application discloses a child-friendly bathing device. By designing the support component to include an upper body support and a lower body support, with a drain outlet formed between the lower body support components, it achieves segmented stable support for the child's body and efficient drainage of bathing wastewater. The upper body support conforms to the child's back and upper head area, providing good support, while the lower body support supports the thighs and buttocks, making the child's sitting posture more natural and stable, effectively preventing slipping and tipping. At the same time, the drain outlet between the two parts serves as a centralized drainage channel. Combined with the overall inclined structure in this direction, wastewater flowing through the support component is quickly collected and discharged under gravity, avoiding accumulation in the buttocks and back areas. This not only improves the comfort and hygiene of the bathing process but also reduces the risk of bacterial growth. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, taking into account safety, functionality, and ease of cleaning.
