Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infant bathtubs, specifically an adjustable bathtub. Background Technology

[0002] During infant bathing, because their physiological structure is still developing, their head and neck muscles are weak, and their spine is not fully ossified, they need external support to maintain a stable position and avoid accidents such as slipping or choking on water. Therefore, adults generally need to manually support the infant's head or torso before bathing. In practice, this method often requires multiple people to work together, which is not only inconvenient but also restricts the freedom of movement of caregivers to some extent.

[0003] Some existing bathtub designs attempt to alleviate these problems by incorporating rigid support structures, such as fixed-shape plastic or metal supports to support the infant's head, neck, and back. However, these structures generally suffer from excessive material rigidity and non-adjustable shape, making it difficult to adapt to the body shapes of infants of different ages. Infants' skin is thin and delicate; when it comes into contact with a rigid support, excessive local pressure can cause discomfort, even resulting in soft tissue contusions or indentations. Furthermore, the assembly gap between the support components and the tub body poses a risk of skin pinching, further limiting the safety and comfort of its practical application. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable bathtub to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an adjustable bathtub, comprising a bathtub consisting of a bottom surface and a side wall surrounding the bottom surface, wherein one side of the side wall is provided with a notch; a flexible pad of flexible material is fixedly connected to one side of the notch to close the bathtub and realize the function of holding water; A rigid support pad is embedded in the middle of the flexible pad, and a support rib is provided on the back of the support pad; The support rib plate uses the support bar as a fulcrum, and the support bar can be adjusted in position on the support leg; The support leg is U-shaped and surrounds the outside of the flexible pad, with both ends fixedly connected to the bathtub. The change in the position of the support rod alters the shape of the flexible pad, causing a change in the angle between the support pad and the bottom surface of the bathtub. The angle between the support pad and the bottom surface of the bathtub varies from 100° to 150°.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the bathtub is provided with a raised anti-drowning slope in the middle to prevent infants and young children from slipping into the water and drowning.

[0007] Preferably, the inner edges of both sides of the U-shaped support leg are provided with adjustment grooves in which the end of the support rod can slide. Each adjustment groove is provided with at least one locking groove that can place the support rod therein, so as to realize the adjustment of the support pad. The locking groove makes the height position of the support rod relatively fixed to ensure the support rod supports the support pad.

[0008] Preferably, the flexible pad is made of TPR material.

[0009] Preferably, the bathtub, support pad, and support legs are made of PP plastic.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting piece is fixedly connected to both ends of the support bar that slides in the adjustment groove, and the limiting piece also slides in the adjustment groove to prevent the support bar from slipping off.

[0011] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By incorporating a flexible pad made of TPR material, which forms a stable, integrated structure with the bathtub, the invention maintains its integrity during adjustment, effectively avoiding the risk of pinching or abrasions that may occur due to component separation or gaps, thus improving the safety and comfort of infants during bathing. This flexible pad can work in conjunction with the support pad and support bar to achieve flexible adjustment at multiple angles and positions to adapt to the body shape and bathing needs of infants of different ages. Furthermore, the anti-drowning slope structure inside the bathtub can, to a certain extent, prevent the infant's body from sliding downwards, reducing the risk of drowning due to accidental slippage into the water, further enhancing the safety of the bathing process.

[0014] 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.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-2To address the problems of excessively rigid materials, non-adjustable shapes, and the risk of skin pinching due to gaps between support components and the tub body in existing structures, a flexible pad 2 made of TPR (thermoplastic elastomer) is incorporated. This flexible pad forms a stable, integrated structure with the bathtub 1, maintaining its integrity during adjustment and effectively preventing pinching or abrasions caused by component separation or gaps. This enhances the safety and comfort of infants during bathing. The flexible pad 2 works in conjunction with the support pad 3 and support bar 5 to achieve flexible adjustment at multiple angles and positions to accommodate the body shape and bathing needs of infants of different ages. Furthermore, the anti-drowning slope 101 structure inside the bathtub 1 can, to some extent, prevent infants from sliding downwards, reducing the risk of drowning due to accidental entry into the water and further enhancing safety during bathing. This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable bathtub, including a bathtub 1, which consists of a bottom surface and side walls surrounding the bottom surface. One side of the side wall has a notch, allowing an infant to be placed against the side wall for bathing. A flexible pad 2 made of flexible material is fixedly connected to one side of the notch, thus enclosing the bathtub 1 and enabling it to hold water. The infant can also be placed on the side of the flexible pad 2 for bathing. A rigid support pad 3 is embedded in the middle of the flexible pad 2 to provide rigid support. A support rib 301 is provided on the back of the support pad 3. The support rib 301... The support bar 5 serves as a fulcrum and its position can be adjusted on the support leg 4. The support leg 4 is U-shaped, encircling the outside of the flexible pad 2, with both ends fixedly connected to the bathtub 1. The middle of the U-shape of the support leg 4 bends downward, contacting the ground to support the bathtub 1. Ribs can also be provided on the outer side of the bottom of the bathtub 1 to keep the outer side of the bottom a certain distance from the ground, facilitating water filling. The change in the position of the support bar 5 changes the shape of the flexible pad 2, causing the angle between the support pad 3 and the bottom of the bathtub 1 to change. The angle between the support pad 3 and the bottom of the bathtub 1 varies from 100° to 150°. The flexible pad 2 is made of TPR (thermoplastic elastomer). The bathtub 1, support pad 3, and support leg 4 are made of PP plastic. A raised anti-drowning slope 101 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the bathtub 1 to support the infant's buttocks and prevent the infant from slipping into the water and drowning. The bathtub 1 may also be equipped with a water outlet 102 and its matching plug. The water outlet 102 and the plug are based on existing technology and are not limited in this application, as long as they can achieve sealing and water discharge. In use, the water outlet 102 is sealed with the plug, and then the angle of the support pad 3 is adjusted as needed. The support pad 3 causes the flexible pad 2 to deform, causing the flexible pads 2 on both sides of the support pad 3 to fold outward. Since the flexible pad 2 is made of flexible material, there will be no gaps that could pinch or injure the infant. At this time, the support bar 5 is placed at a suitable height so that the support bar 5 supports the support pad 3, thereby locking the position of the support pad 3, which is convenient for bathing the infant.

[0016] To address the issue of adjustable angle of the support pad 3, the inner edges of both sides of the U-shaped support leg 4 are equipped with adjustment grooves 401 for the end of the support rod 5 to slide within. Each adjustment groove 401 has at least one locking groove 4011 for placing the support rod 5, thus adjusting the position of the support pad 3. The locking groove 4011 relatively fixes the height of the support rod 5, ensuring its support of the support pad 3. A limiting piece is fixedly connected to both ends of the support rod 5 that slides within the adjustment groove 401, preventing the support rod 5 from slipping. A gripping plate 501 is fixedly connected to the middle of the support rod 5. The gripping plate 501 has anti-slip raised particles, which can be made of rubber. The purpose of the gripping plate 501 is to facilitate the movement of the support rod 5 while preventing the support rod 5 from pinching the user's fingers against the support pad 3. In use, adjust the position of the support bar 5 according to the required angle of the support pad 3, and grasp the gripping plate 501 to drive the support bar 5 to move, so that the support bar 5 and the limiting plates at both ends slide in the adjustment groove 401. When it moves to the appropriate height, move the support bar 5 into the nearest locking groove 4011 to form a position lock. At this time, the support bar 5 can no longer move, and the support pad 3 abuts against the support bar 5 to form support, thereby ensuring the appropriate support angle.

[0017] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
