[0002] With the continuous development of the economy, pets have gradually become popular among humans and have entered people's homes, even becoming indispensable members of some families. In addition, with the increase in only children, many parents feel that their children are very lonely. Pets such as cats and dogs can cultivate children's character of caring for small animals. Therefore, the number of pets will continue to grow rapidly. With the rise of the pet-keeping craze, pets can add alternative fun to life and achieve a joyful atmosphere through interaction with pets. Moreover, the types of pets kept are becoming more and more diversified. Now, pet grooming is also becoming increasingly popular. Many pet owners take their pets to pet grooming shops for cleaning. As the core tool for cleaning pets, the rationality of the pet bathtub directly affects the cleaning efficiency, the pet's comfort, and the labor intensity of the operator.

[0003] Existing pet bathtubs typically lack adjustable height mechanisms, with the pet-supporting components at a fixed height. This limits their ability to meet the bathing needs of pets of a single size. For small to medium-sized pets, operators must bend over for extended periods, leading to lower back fatigue. For large dogs and other tall pets, operators must raise their arms, increasing strain on the shoulders and neck. These bathtubs fail to meet the diverse needs of different pet breeds, reducing the ease of cleaning and increasing the physical exertion on operators. They may also cause pets to resist cleaning due to the inconvenience, compromising safety. Furthermore, some bathtubs have simple bottom support structures lacking adjustment mechanisms, making them prone to wobbling on uneven surfaces. This not only hinders cleaning but may also frighten pets, increasing safety hazards during the cleaning process. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a height-adjustable pet bathtub with an internal height adjustment function to solve the problems of fixed height, poor adaptability, and insufficient support stability in the prior art.

[0005] This utility model provides a height-adjustable pet bathtub, which includes a bathtub body and a support part. The support part is located at the bottom of the bathtub body and supports the bathtub body. The bathtub body is provided with a lifting component and a lifting component that matches the lifting component. The lifting component drives the lifting component to move up and down within the bathtub body.

[0006] The lifting assembly includes a ball screw and a sleeve threadedly connected to the ball screw. The sleeve is fixedly connected to the lifting assembly via a connecting rod. The lifting assembly is driven to rotate by a transmission assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the lifting components are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bathtub body.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a perforated plate and a lifting frame, wherein the perforated plate is located above the lifting frame and is fixedly connected to the lifting frame, and the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lifting frame.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a motor, a first bevel gear set, a second bevel gear set, a third bevel gear set, and a connecting rod. The two ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the driven gears of the first bevel gear set and the second bevel gear set, respectively.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This utility model provides a height-adjustable pet bathtub. It features a lifting component and a matching lifting component inside the bathtub body, enabling the lifting component to move up and down within the bathtub. A motor drives a connecting rod via a first bevel gear set, which in turn drives a ball screw via a second and third bevel gear set, causing the sleeve to move up and down along the ball screw axis. This ultimately raises and lowers the lifting component. The height of the lifting component within the bathtub body can be flexibly adjusted according to the pet's size, placing the pet in a suitable bathing position for easy soaking and scrubbing by the cleaning staff. This fundamentally solves the problem of a fixed height not being suitable for pets of various sizes, reducing the physical exertion of the cleaning staff and minimizing pet resistance, making the bathing process smoother. The extension length of the support feet can be adjusted by rotating them, allowing independent adjustment of the four corners of the bathtub body according to the actual ground conditions, ensuring stability during use and preventing water damage during bathing. To prevent pets from being startled or water from spilling due to shaking, this design enhances safety. The inverted U-shaped support block suspends the bottom of the bathtub, allowing for smoother drainage during cleaning, reducing water residue and the possibility of bacterial growth. It also facilitates thorough cleaning of the bottom of the bathtub. The bathtub features a shower door with a matching locking mechanism. The shower door is hinged to the bathtub and locked in place by the locking mechanism, effectively preventing pets from jumping out of the bathtub during bathing. This reduces the physical exertion of cleaning staff and minimizes pet resistance, making the bathing process smoother. During pet bathing, a large amount of hair and other impurities are generated. If discharged directly into the sewer, it can easily cause blockages. By installing a matching filter at one end of the drain, the filter can filter hair and other impurities in the water during drainage, preventing them from entering the sewer and avoiding blockages, thus reducing subsequent maintenance and cleaning work.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] This utility model discloses a height-adjustable pet bathtub, comprising a bathtub body 1 and a support part 2. The support part 2 is located on the bathtub body 1 and supports the bathtub body 1. The bathtub body 1 is provided with a lifting component 11 and a lifting component 12 that matches the lifting component 11. The lifting component 12 is located on both sides of the lifting component 11 and drives the lifting component 11 to move up and down within the bathtub body 1. The lifting component 11 includes a hollow plate 111 and a lifting frame 112. The lifting frame 112 is located at the bottom of the hollow plate 111 and supports the hollow plate 111. The lifting component 12 includes a ball screw 121 and a sleeve 122 threadedly connected to the ball screw 121. The sleeve 122 is provided with a connecting rod 123 fixedly connected to the lifting frame 112. The bottom of the ball screw 121... The part is equipped with a matching transmission assembly 13. The sleeve 122 drives the ball screw 121 to rotate through the transmission assembly 13, thereby moving up and down along the axis of the ball screw 121. The transmission assembly 13 is located at the bottom of the bathtub body 1. The transmission assembly 13 includes a motor 131. The motor 131 is equipped with a connecting rod 132 that matches the lifting assemblies 12 on both sides. The motor 131 drives the connecting rod 132 to rotate through the first bevel gear set 133. The other end of the connecting rod 132 is equipped with a second bevel gear set 134. The second bevel gear set 134 is equipped with a matching output shaft 136. The connecting rod 132 drives the output shaft 136 to rotate through the second bevel gear set 134. The output shaft 136 and the ball screw 121 are transmitted through a third bevel gear set 135.

[0027] The support part 2 includes a support frame 21 located at the bottom of the bathtub body 1, an adjustable support foot 23, and a support block 22 that supports the support frame 21. The support frame 21 has a receiving cavity inside, and the transmission component 13 is located inside the receiving cavity. The support block 22 is located at the bottom of the support frame 21 and has an inverted U-shaped design. The adjustable support foot 23 is connected to the bathtub body 1 by a spiral, and the adjustable support foot 23 is located at the bottom of the bathtub body 1 and is distributed in a rectangular shape.

[0028] The bathtub body 1 is provided with a bathing component 14, which is located above the support component 11. The bathtub body 1 is provided with a drain outlet 15, which is located below the support component 11. One end of the drain outlet 15 is provided with a matching filter screen 151.

[0029] The bathtub body 1 is provided with a shower door 16 and a locking structure 161 that matches the shower door 16. The shower door 16 is hinged to the bathtub body 1 and locked and fixed by the locking structure 161. The bathtub body 1 is also provided with a fixedly connected storage basket 17.

[0030] In use, the motor 131 is driven according to the size of the pet to be cleaned. The motor 131 drives the connecting rods 132 on both sides to rotate through the first bevel gear set 133. The connecting rods 132 drive the ball screws 121 on both sides of the bathtub body 1 to rotate synchronously through the second bevel gear set 134 and the third bevel gear set 135. The ball screws 121 drive the sleeve 122 to rotate threadedly. The sleeve 122 drives the lifting assembly 11 to move up and down along the axis of the ball screw 121 through the connecting rod 132, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting assembly 11 in the bathtub body 1. This makes it suitable for pets of different sizes, facilitating bathing and washing of pets and avoiding bending over during washing. It fundamentally solves the problem that a fixed height cannot accommodate pets of various sizes. After the lifting assembly 11 is moved to the appropriate height, the pet to be washed is placed inside the bathtub body 1 by opening the shower door 16 and locking the door 161. The shower door 16 is locked to prevent pets from jumping out during bathing, reducing the physical exertion of cleaning personnel and minimizing pet resistance. The pet is cleaned using the bathing components 14 inside the bathtub body 1. The storage basket 17 is used to place items needed during the cleaning process. Wastewater generated during cleaning is discharged through the drain outlet 15. During the wastewater discharge process, the filter screen 151 filters impurities such as hair in the water to prevent blockage of the sewer. During the cleaning process, the bathtub body 1 is supported by the support part 2. By adjusting the cooperation between the support foot 23 and the support block 22, the extension length of the support foot 23 can be adjusted to ensure the stability of the bathtub body 1 during use, preventing the pet from being startled or water from spilling due to shaking during bathing. The support block 22 is inverted U-shaped, which allows the bottom of the bathtub body 1 to be suspended during use, facilitating drainage and cleaning and reducing water residue.

[0031] Compared to existing designs, the motor 131, in conjunction with the first bevel gear set 133, drives the connecting rod 132 to rotate. The connecting rod 132, via the second bevel gear set 134 and the third bevel gear set 135, drives the ball screw 121 to rotate synchronously. This causes the sleeve 122 to move up and down along the axis of the ball screw 121, ultimately raising and lowering the lifting assembly 11. The height of the lifting assembly 11 within the bathtub body 1 can be flexibly adjusted according to the pet's size, placing the pet in a suitable bathing position for easy soaking and scrubbing by cleaning personnel. This fundamentally solves the problem of a fixed height being unsuitable for pets of various sizes. The extension length of the adjustable support feet 23 can be adjusted by rotating them, allowing independent adjustment of the four corners of the bathtub body 1 according to the actual ground conditions. This ensures the bathtub body 1 remains stable during use, preventing pets from being startled or water from spilling due to shaking, thus improving safety. The support block 22, located at the bottom of the support frame 21 and designed in an inverted U-shape, allows the bottom of the bathtub body 1 to be suspended, enabling wastewater to be more effectively disposed of during cleaning. Smooth drainage reduces water residue and the possibility of bacterial growth, while also facilitating thorough cleaning of the bathtub bottom. In existing pet bathtubs, pets may try to jump out due to fear or resistance during bathing, causing inconvenience to cleaning staff and potentially leading to injury. The locking structure 161 secures the bathing door 16, effectively preventing pets from jumping out during bathing, reducing the physical exertion of cleaning staff, and minimizing pet resistance, making the bathing process smoother. During pet bathing, a large amount of hair and other impurities are generated. If directly discharged into the sewer, this can easily cause blockages. A matching filter 151 is installed at one end of the drain outlet 15. During wastewater discharge, the filter 151 filters out hair and other impurities in the water, preventing them from entering the sewer and avoiding blockages. This reduces subsequent maintenance and cleaning work. Cleaning staff can place items needed during cleaning in the storage basket 17 for easy access, improving cleaning efficiency.

[0032] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
