Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding bathtub technology, specifically to a folding bathtub with an improved structure. Background Technology
[0002] Folding bathtubs, also known as collapsible bathtubs, are bathroom products made of flexible materials such as PVC, primarily catering to families with limited bathroom space. They can be folded up for storage after use, reducing space usage, and are especially suitable for families with children, meeting the bathing needs of children at different stages of growth. The utility model patent with publication number CN204581083U in the prior art proposes a folding bathtub with an improved structure. The device has a pillow design that allows children to comfortably rest their heads on it. The lower tub wall and bottom wall are equipped with stronger bones, which can provide greater rigidity, facilitate folding, and maintain a fixed shape when storing hot water, without swaying. However, in actual use, this device is limited in function, only meeting basic bathing needs. It lacks water temperature control and cannot adjust the pillow's angle and height according to different heights and sitting postures, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, we need to upgrade and modify it based on existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0016] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0017] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 5, this embodiment provides a modified folding bathtub, including a device body 1. The device body 1 includes an edge frame 2. A support frame 3, a support frame 5, and a bathtub wall 7 are connected below the edge frame 2. A folding leg 4 is rotatably connected below the support frame 3, and a folding leg 6 is rotatably connected below the support frame 5. An elastic connecting wall 16 is connected below the bathtub wall 7, and a fixing buckle 20 and a temperature sensor 30 are provided inside the bathtub wall 7. A bottom wall 17 is connected below the elastic connecting wall 16, and a rotating seat 21 is rotatably connected inside the fixing buckle 20. The moving seat 21 connects the waterproof elastic pillow 22 and the connecting rod 23. The connecting rod 23 connects to the worm gear 24. The worm gear 24 meshes with the worm 25. One end of the worm 25 is connected to the knob 27. The edge frame 2 is provided with a cover plate 8 and a cover plate 9. One end of the cover plate 8 is provided with an extension buckle 10. One end of the cover plate 9 is connected to the rotating shaft 11. The bottom wall 17 is provided with a heat-insulating base 28. The heat-insulating base 28 is provided with a heating wire 29. The outside of the bathtub wall 7 is provided with a fixing seat 31. The fixing seat 31 is provided with a temperature controller 32. The heating wire 29 is electrically connected to the temperature controller 32.
[0018] Preferably, the elastic connecting wall 16 is made of highly elastic sealing rubber material, which has folding and telescopic performance, ensuring the flexibility of the bathtub when folded, eliminating the risk of water leakage, extending the service life of the bathtub, and solving the problem of easy water leakage at the joints of traditional folding bathtubs. The first cover plate 8 and the second cover plate 9 can rotate relative to each other and splice to cover the opening of the bathtub wall 7 through the extension buckle 10 and the pivot 11. Both the first cover plate 8 and the second cover plate 9 are equipped with handles 13, and the second cover plate 9 has a movable groove 12. The handles 13 facilitate carrying or opening and closing operations, and the movable groove 12 is designed to be adaptable to different situations. For user use, a towel rack 14 and a storage box 15 are respectively installed on the outer wall of the edge shelf 2. A drain pipe 18 is connected to the side of the bottom wall 17. A control valve 19 is installed on the drain pipe 18. The towel rack 14 can conveniently hang towels, bath balls and other items to avoid moisture or loss caused by careless placement. The storage box 15 can classify and store bath products such as shower gel and shampoo for easy access. The drain pipe 18, together with the control valve 19, can quickly drain the sewage in the tub without emptying the tub, making operation labor-saving and solving the problem of difficult drainage in traditional bath tubs.
[0019] Preferably, a fixing bracket 26 is installed on the worm gear 25, with one end of the fixing bracket 26 fixedly connected to the edge bracket 2. The fixing bracket 26 fixes the worm gear 25 to the edge bracket 2, ensuring that the worm gear 25 does not wobble during rotation and adjustment, improving the accuracy and stability of the transmission between the worm wheel 24 and the worm gear 25, preventing the waterproof elastic pillow 22 from shifting due to force during use, and ensuring the reliability and safety of the adjustment function. The temperature sensor 30 is a high-precision thermistor with a temperature measurement range of 0-100℃ and a measurement accuracy of ±1℃, which can monitor the water temperature in the tank in real time and accurately. The heating element 29 of the heat-insulating base 28 is a carbon fiber heating element with a power adjustment range of 50-300W. It achieves intelligent water temperature control through the temperature controller 32, which can quickly heat up and accurately maintain the set water temperature. The temperature controller 32 can also achieve intelligent start and stop, avoiding scalding from excessively high water temperature or affecting the experience from excessively low water temperature. At the same time, it reduces energy consumption and has a significant energy-saving effect compared to traditional heating methods.
[0020] The working principle and operation process of this utility model are as follows: When the device needs to be folded, folding legs 1 (4) and 2 (6) are folded towards support frame 1 (3) and support frame 2 (5), while cover plate 1 (8) and cover plate 2 (9) are folded above edge frame 2 via pivot 11. The waterproof elastic pillow 22 is adjusted to the retracted state, which greatly reduces the overall volume of the bathtub for easy storage. When unfolding, the reverse operation is performed for quick shaping, and the operation can be completed by a single person. When intelligent temperature control is required, the heating wire 29 in the heat preservation base 28 can heat the water in the tub. The temperature sensor 30 monitors the water temperature in real time and transmits the data to the temperature controller 32. The temperature controller 32 automatically adjusts the power of the heating wire 29 according to the set value to achieve precise control of the water temperature (such as maintaining it at 38-42℃) to ensure a comfortable bathing experience. When the user needs to adjust the pillow while using the device, they turn knob 27. Through the transmission of worm gear 25 and worm wheel 24, the connecting rod 23 is extended and the angle of the rotating seat 21 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the height and angle of the waterproof elastic pillow 22 to suit the needs of users of different heights and sitting postures, and improving the comfort of neck and back support during bathing. At the same time, the storage box 15 can be used to store bath products in categories; the towel rack 14 is used to hang towels; the drain pipe 18 and control valve 19 facilitate drainage after bathing. All components work together to achieve a one-stop bathing experience.
