Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathtub technology, specifically a bathtub with an improved structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of bathtub technology, traditional bathtubs are mostly of one-piece structure, which presents many inconveniences in production, transportation, and installation. For example, one-piece bathtubs are large in size, requiring high-quality molds and molding equipment during production, thus increasing production costs; during transportation, their large and heavy size not only takes up a lot of space but also makes them prone to damage from collisions, increasing transportation costs and loss rates; during installation, one-piece bathtubs are difficult to fit into some confined spaces, posing significant challenges to the installation work.
[0003] Furthermore, some modular bathtubs have poor sealing performance at the joints, making them prone to leaks during use. The existing modular structure has poor guidance, making it difficult to precisely align components during assembly. Additionally, the elastic seals do not fit tightly enough into the joint structure after assembly, leading to a further decrease in sealing effectiveness over time. This affects the normal use and lifespan of the bathtub, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a bathtub with an improved structure.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A bathtub with an improved structure includes:
[0007] The combined cylinder block has a splicing port;
[0008] The second combined cylinder has a splicing port corresponding to the splicing port on the first combined cylinder;
[0009] A U-shaped plate is fixed to the outer edge of one of the combined cylinder assembly ports;
[0010] A pair of elastic plates are fixed to the U-shaped plate on the side of the U-shaped plate closest to the other combined cylinder;
[0011] The second "U"-shaped plate is fixed to the outer edge of the assembly port of another combined cylinder block;
[0012] The receiving cavity is opened inside the "U"-shaped plate two to accommodate a pair of elastic plates;
[0013] A guide plate is fixed inside the receiving cavity, and the guide plate and the inner wall of the receiving cavity form an insertion opening that gradually narrows when the elastic plate is inserted.
[0014] Preferably, the direction in which the guide plate forms the insertion port with the inner wall of the receiving cavity is at an angle to the insertion direction of the elastic plate, and the angle ranges from 15 degrees to 30 degrees.
[0015] Preferably, the end of the guide plate that forms an insertion port with the inner wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a sealing groove, and the sealing groove is recessed to the side away from the guide plate.
[0016] Preferably, the insertion opening formed by the guide plate and the inner wall of the receiving cavity is wavy.
[0017] Preferably, the combined cylinder body one and combined cylinder body two are joined together by bolts.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] 1. This application provides a guide plate within the receiving cavity of the "U"-shaped plate II. The guide plate and the inner wall of the receiving cavity form a gradually narrowing insertion opening, and the insertion opening has an angle of 15-30 degrees with the insertion direction of the elastic plate. During the insertion of the elastic plate, the guide plate can provide good guidance, allowing the elastic plate to be smoothly inserted from the end with the larger insertion opening, reducing the alignment difficulty during splicing and facilitating operation.
[0020] 2. The insertion port of this application has a gradually narrowing structure. During the insertion process, the elastic plate will be gradually squeezed, so that the elastic plate and the insertion port fit tightly together to form a preliminary seal. The sealing groove at the end of the insertion port can make the elastic plate bend after insertion, further blocking the liquid from flowing out and enhancing the sealing effect. The wavy insertion port can increase the contact area between the elastic plate and the insertion port, making the compression tighter, improving the sealing performance, and effectively preventing liquid in the bathtub from leaking from the joint.

[0029] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0030] Example
[0031] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a bathtub with an improved structure includes:
[0032] The combined cylinder block 1 has a splicing port;
[0033] Combination cylinder 2 has a joint port corresponding to the joint port on combination cylinder 1;
[0034] This utility model divides the bathtub into two parts: combined tub body one and combined tub body two, which can be produced separately, reducing the requirements for production equipment and the difficulty of production; during transportation, the two combined tub bodies can be transported separately, reducing the volume and weight of a single transport, and lowering transportation costs and the risk of damage; during installation, the two combined tub bodies can be transported to the installation position separately and then spliced together, which is suitable for places with narrow spaces and improves the flexibility of installation.
[0035] The U-shaped plate 3 is fixed to the outer edge of one of the combined cylinder assembly ports;
[0036] A pair of elastic plates 31 are fixed to the "U"-shaped plate 3 on the side of the "U"-shaped plate 3 near the other combined cylinder body;
[0037] "U" shaped plate 24 is fixed to the outer edge of the assembly port of another combined cylinder block;
[0038] The receiving cavity 41 is opened inside the "U"-shaped plate 4 and is used to accommodate a pair of elastic plates 31;
[0039] The guide plate 42 is fixed inside the receiving cavity 41, and the guide plate 42 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41 form an insertion opening that gradually narrows when the elastic plate 31 is inserted.
[0040] Specifically, this application uses the guide plate 42 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41 to form an insertion port that gradually narrows when the elastic plate 31 is inserted. When the elastic plate 31 is inserted, it is inserted from the end with the larger insertion port, which facilitates the insertion of the elastic plate 31. During the insertion process, as the insertion port gradually narrows, the insertion end of the elastic plate 31 will fill the insertion port to form a tight squeeze, thereby achieving a seal and preventing the liquid in the bathtub from flowing out from the joint of the combined cylinder 1 and the combined cylinder 2.
[0041] The U-shaped plate 3 and the U-shaped plate 4 are respectively fixed to the outer edge of the splicing port of the two combined cylinders. Their U-shaped structure is adapted to the shape of the cylinder port, which can pre-position the splicing direction of the two cylinders to avoid left and right offset during splicing. The guide plate 42 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41 form a "gradually narrowing insertion port", which provides precise guidance for the insertion of the elastic plate 31: the elastic plate 31 first contacts the wide end of the insertion port and can be inserted smoothly without high-precision alignment. As the insertion depth increases, the insertion port gradually narrows, automatically correcting the angle deviation of the elastic plate 31, and finally guiding it to fit tightly against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41. This structure greatly reduces the difficulty of manual splicing operation, and is especially suitable for non-professional installers to quickly complete the assembly. When the elastic plate 31 is inserted into the gradually narrowing insertion port, it will undergo elastic deformation due to the narrowing of the insertion port, forming a tight compression with the guide plate 42 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41. This "tightening as it's inserted" structure ensures that the elastic plate 31 completely fills the gaps, blocking the path of liquid leakage from the joint and forming the first line of defense for sealing. The elastic properties of the elastic plate 31 itself can cope with changes in the gaps caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the tub body due to temperature changes such as the injection of hot water or slight vibrations: when the gap increases slightly, the elastic plate 31 can fill the gap by rebounding; when the gap shrinks, the elastic plate 31 will be further compressed to maintain sealing pressure. This dynamic compensation capability solves the problem of "easy leakage due to alternating hot and cold temperatures" in traditional rigid splicing structures; the elastic deformation of the elastic plate 31 generates a continuous reaction force, acting on the "U"-shaped plate 3 and the "U"-shaped plate 4, offsetting the lateral tension generated by water flow impact or human body leaning during bathtub use, reducing the stress on the bolts, and preventing the tub body from separating due to bolt loosening after long-term use, significantly improving the stability and durability of the overall structure.
[0042] Furthermore, the direction in which the guide plate 42 forms an insertion port with the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41 is at an angle to the insertion direction of the elastic plate 31, and the angle ranges from 15 degrees to 30 degrees.
[0043] Specifically, this application makes the direction of the insertion port formed by the guide plate 42 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41 at an angle to the insertion direction of the elastic plate 31, so that the elastic plate 31 can be squeezed and deformed by the insertion port during the insertion process, thereby enhancing the squeezing force between the elastic plate 31 and the insertion port and further improving the sealing effect.
[0044] Furthermore, a sealing groove 43 is provided at the end of the guide plate 42 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41 that forms an insertion port, and the sealing groove 43 is recessed to the side away from the guide plate 42.
[0045] Specifically, by opening a sealing groove 43 at the end of the insertion port formed by the guide plate 42 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41, and the sealing groove 43 is recessed to the side away from the guide plate 42, the elastic plate 31 can continue to be inserted into the sealing groove 43 after it is fully inserted into the insertion port, so that the elastic plate 31 bends and blocks the outflow of liquid, thereby further improving the sealing performance.
[0046] Furthermore, the insertion opening formed by the guide plate 42 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 41 is wavy;
[0047] Specifically, after the elastic plate 31 is inserted into the wavy insertion port, it is tightly squeezed, resulting in a better sealing effect.
[0048] Furthermore, the combined cylinder block 1 and the combined cylinder block 2 are joined together by bolts.
[0049] Specifically, the two combined cylinder bodies of this application are joined together by bolts, and the elastic plate and the receiving cavity are tightly fitted together, so that the two combined cylinder bodies are firmly connected. The overall structure after splicing has high stability and can withstand various loads during the use of the bathtub, thus extending the service life of the bathtub.
[0050] The bathtub in this application is more ergonomic, preventing people from sliding down due to water buoyancy, and allowing taller people to lie comfortably in the bathtub.
[0051] Practice has shown that men who are 190cm tall and weigh 100kg can fully immerse themselves in water.
[0052] The opening at the back of the bathtub is fitted with a guide rail with a bearing base, which guides the high-strength webbing to raise and lower the user, allowing them to enter and exit the water slowly and easily.
[0053] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
