Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathtubs, and in particular to a swimming pool bathtub with an electrically operated flip-top. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, for small swimming pools, various types of covers are used to insulate the surface. The types of pool covers and their corresponding drawbacks are as follows: 1. Ordinary manually operated foam leather cover plate. Although the cover plate is low in cost and easy to operate, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to operate. It usually requires two people to operate. In addition, when users use the pool, they need to find a place to store the removed cover plate, which takes up a lot of space. 2. Gas spring support frame cover plate: This type of cover plate saves a lot of effort in terms of manual operation by using the external force of the gas spring, and does not need to be stored separately. However, it is still a cover plate that is manually operated, and support frames need to be set at both ends of the pool, resulting in excessive protrusion on both sides. 3. Four-post lifting cover: This cover achieves the required results in terms of heat preservation, energy saving and cleaning functions, and is intelligent in operation. However, due to its structural characteristics, this cover has a higher cost and higher installation requirements. It also requires a wider site and occupies more space. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0015] Example 1, as Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the swimming pool bathtub with an electric flip-top cover proposed in this embodiment includes a cover plate 11, a bathtub shell 17 and a flipping mechanism.

[0016] A bathtub frame 16 is installed inside the bathtub shell 17. The bathtub shell 17 has a recessed bathing area 171 with multiple steps and rows of anti-slip protrusions on both sides along its length.

[0017] Two cover plates 11 are provided, and the two cover plates 11 are hinged at adjacent ends by hinges 12. When one cover plate 11 moves, it can drive the other cover plate 11 to move through the hinges 12. The cover plate 11 includes a frame, foam cotton filled in the frame, and a leather sleeve wrapped around the frame. The frame is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and has good structural strength. The internal foam cotton has good heat insulation effect, and the leather sleeve can prevent water from seeping into the inside and has good waterproof performance.

[0018] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the flipping mechanism includes two sets of flipping components distributed opposite to each other and a drive component that simultaneously drives the two sets of flipping components. The flipping components include a first rotating shaft 7 and a second rotating shaft 10 rotatably mounted on the bathtub frame 16, a first connecting rod 8 with one end mounted on the first rotating shaft 7 and the other end rotatably connected to the side of one cover plate 11, and a second connecting rod 9 with one end mounted on the second rotating shaft 10 and the other end rotatably connected to the side of the other cover plate 11. When the two covers plate 11 initially cover the bathing area 171, they are in a side-by-side unfolded state. When the first rotating shaft 7 rotates counterclockwise, it can drive the right cover plate 11 to rotate counterclockwise via the first connecting rod 8. The right cover plate 11, through the hinge 12, drives the left cover plate 11 and the second connecting rod 9 to rotate. Ultimately, the two covers plate 11 can rotate to the side of the bathtub shell 17 and be in a folded state. Under the action of the flipping mechanism, the two covers plate 11 either cover the bathing area 171 or flip to the outside of the bathtub shell 17. The length of connecting rod 8 is greater than the length of connecting rod 9. When the cover plate 11, which is rotatably connected to connecting rod 9, flips from above the bathing area 171 to the side of the bathtub shell 17, the cover plate 11 is located between the bathtub shell 17 and another cover plate 11, and both cover plates 11 are located on one side of the width direction of the bathtub shell 17. During the movement of the two cover plates 11, there will be no interference with other structures.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, the drive assembly includes a geared motor and two sets of transmission components. The geared motor is mounted on the bathtub frame 16. The geared motor includes a motor 1 and a reducer 2. The reducer 2 has one input end and two output ends, and the motor 1 is connected to the input end of the reducer 2. The transmission components include a synchronous shaft 3 connected to the output end of the geared motor and a commutator assembly that drives the synchronous shaft 3 and the rotating shaft 7. The two synchronous shafts 3 in the two sets of transmission components are respectively connected to the two output ends of the reducer 2. The output shaft of the motor 1 can rotate in both directions, thus driving the two synchronous shafts 3 to rotate simultaneously in either direction via the reducer 2. The synchronous shafts 3 then drive the rotating shaft 7 to rotate via the commutator assembly.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, the commutator assembly includes two commutators, 4 and 6, arranged side-by-side on the bathtub frame 16. Both commutators 4 and 6 are right-angle commutators with a transmission ratio of 1:1. A connecting shaft 5 is driven between one end of commutator 4 and one end of commutator 6, a synchronous shaft 3 is driven to the other end of commutator 4, and a rotating shaft 7 is driven to the other end of commutator 6. The synchronous shaft 3, rotating shaft 7, and rotating shaft 10 are parallel and perpendicular to the connecting shaft 5. By designing the commutator assembly, the transmission structure can be made more compact, achieving a 90-degree reversing transmission.

[0021] The geared motor, synchronous shaft 3, commutator 1 4, connecting shaft 5, and commutator 2 6 are all located inside the bathtub shell 17. Rotary shaft 1 7 and rotary shaft 2 10 both penetrate the side of the bathtub shell 17 and are sealed at the penetration points. The overall transmission structure of the swimming pool bathtub is designed to be more compact, occupy less space, have a neat structure, and good aesthetics.

[0022] This embodiment achieves the covering and opening of the two covers 11 through electric control, which is highly efficient, saves manpower, occupies little space, and is less expensive than existing four-post lifting covers. The drive assembly is electrically driven, and the forward and reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 7 drives the connecting rod 8, connecting rod 9, and the two covers 11 to move. The two covers 11 are folded and stored on the outside of the bathtub shell 17, at which point the user can enter the bathing area 171, or the two covers 11 can be unfolded and placed on top of the bathing area 171 for heat preservation.

[0023] Example 2, as Figures 1-3 As shown in this embodiment, a swimming pool bathtub with an electric flip-top cover is proposed. Compared to Embodiment 1, in this embodiment, a central control panel 15 is provided on the side of the bathtub shell 17, and the central control panel 15 is connected to the geared motor for control. The forward and reverse rotation and rotation angle of the geared motor are controlled through the central control panel 15. Control is convenient. The central control panel 15 has a touch screen, and a remote control that can control the geared motor can also be added to improve the user experience.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a sensor plate 13 is installed on the synchronous shaft 3, and a sensor probe 14 for detecting the position of the sensor plate 13 is installed on the bathtub frame 16. The sensor probe 14 is communicatively connected to the central control panel 15. When the synchronous shaft 3 rotates, it can drive the sensor plate 13 to rotate. The sensor probe 14 can detect the sensor plate 13 when it rotates to its position, triggering a detection signal, which is transmitted to the central control panel 15. The central control panel 15 then controls the reduction motor to stop driving, serving as a control safety measure to further ensure that the two covers 11 can move into position.

[0025] This embodiment, through the design of the sensing probe 14 and the central control panel 15, enables more accurate and convenient control over the flipping of the cover plate 11.

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
