Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathtub cover technology, and in particular to an inflatable bathtub cover. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, outdoor bathtubs are becoming increasingly popular, such as patio-style jacuzzi and open-air hot spring pools, providing users with a unique leisure experience. However, when the bathtub is not in use, the water exposed to the outdoor environment faces multiple challenges, making the bathtub cover an indispensable accessory.

[0003] Dust, leaves, insects, pollen, and other debris from the outdoor environment can easily fall into the bathtub, contaminating the water. This not only increases the cleaning burden before each use but also makes it difficult to maintain water quality, potentially leading to bacterial growth and affecting the user's health. Furthermore, sudden rainfall can cause the bathtub water to overflow or become diluted, introducing even more impurities.

[0004] Bathwater, especially hot water, rapidly loses heat into the air when outdoors. Traditional hard bathtub covers, such as wooden or plastic covers, while providing some physical insulation, have limited heat retention properties and cannot effectively block heat convection and conduction, causing the water temperature to drop quickly. Reheating the entire tub for reuse results in significant energy waste and time costs.

[0005] Rigid covers are typically bulky, heavy, and have a fixed shape, making them extremely inconvenient to move and store, and taking up a lot of storage space. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an inflatable bathtub cover to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an inflatable bathtub cover, including a bathtub cover, the bathtub cover is provided with an upper cover and a lower cover, an inflatable airbag is provided between the upper cover and the lower cover, the inflatable airbag is provided with an inflation port, and the inflatable airbag is covered with a heat insulation layer.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inflatable airbag is also provided with a power supply, an air pump and a controller, the air pump and the controller are respectively connected to the power supply, the air pump is also connected to the controller, and the air pump is connected to the inflation port.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top cover is made of waterproof Oxford cloth.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower cover is made of aluminum foil insulation fabric.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the insulation layer is made of aluminum foil insulation fabric.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, a skirt is also provided at the lower edge of the bathtub cover.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower cover is also provided with multiple latches, which are connected to the lower cover by a connecting strap.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: the bathtub cover is provided with an inflatable layer made of waterproof Oxford cloth between the upper cover and the lower cover, the inflatable layer has an internal cavity, the inflatable layer is also provided with a side opening, and the inflatable airbag is provided inside the inflatable layer.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model sets an inflatable airbag between the upper and lower covers, and covers the airbag with an insulation layer to form an air insulation layer, which can slow down heat conduction and greatly slow down the rate at which the water temperature of the outdoor bathtub drops when it is not in use. In addition, by closing the lower cover of the bathtub cover at the opening of the bathtub, it can effectively prevent debris from falling into the bathtub and contaminating the bathtub water.

[0017] 2. The insulation layer and the bottom cover are both made of aluminum foil insulation fabric. The aluminum foil material has an extremely high heat reflectivity, which can reflect most of the heat radiated outward from the water surface of the bathtub back, reducing heat radiation loss and significantly slowing down the rate at which the water temperature of the outdoor bathtub drops when it is not in use.

[0018] 3. When needed, inflate through the air inlet. Inflation can be done manually or automatically via the integrated air pump. The inflating airbag expands, causing the entire bathtub cover to unfold and quickly cover the bathtub opening. After use, simply release the air from the airbag; the entire bathtub cover can then be folded or rolled up into a small package, reducing space usage.

[0019] 4. A skirt is installed on the outer cover of the bathtub. The skirt extends the coverage area of ​​the bathtub cover, allowing the bathtub cover to fit snugly against the outer wall of the bathtub. This effectively prevents side drafts from entering from the bottom and blowing the bathtub cover over. Multiple latches are provided, and users can use the connecting straps to firmly lock the lower cover to the fixed points on the edge of the bathtub, so that the bathtub cover can be firmly closed on the bathtub opening.

[0020] 5. The inflatable airbag is equipped with a power supply, air pump and controller. There is no need to use a foot pump or mouth to blow air to inflate it. Just start the air pump through the controller to automatically complete the inflation and forming process of the cover. If the airbag is accidentally damaged, it can be removed separately through the side opening of the inflatable layer for repair or replacement without replacing the entire bathtub cover, which can improve the convenience of using the bathtub cover.

As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0029] It should also be further understood that the term "and / or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, an inflatable bathtub cover includes a bathtub cover, which is provided with an upper cover 1 and a lower cover 3. An inflatable airbag 2 is also provided between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 3. The inflatable airbag 2 is provided with an inflation port 4 and is covered with an insulation layer.

[0032] In this embodiment, when inflated, the airbag expands, providing support for the entire bathtub cover, allowing it to flatly cover the bathtub opening and effectively preventing common outdoor debris such as dust, leaves, insects, and pollen from falling into the bathtub, thus avoiding water contamination. When deflated, the airbag becomes a soft airbag skin, which, along with the equally soft cover and insulation layer, can be folded or rolled up to reduce storage volume and space occupation. Furthermore, the insulation layer covering the inflated airbag 2 hinders heat transfer, creating a thermal barrier compared to traditional single-material covers, which slows down heat loss from the bathtub and prolongs the time the water temperature is maintained.

[0033] Example 2:

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, an inflatable bathtub cover includes a bathtub cover, which is provided with an upper cover 1 and a lower cover 3. An inflatable airbag 2 is also provided between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 3. The inflatable airbag 2 is provided with an inflation port 4 and is covered with an insulation layer.

[0035] Furthermore, the inflatable airbag 2 is also equipped with a power supply 6, an air pump 5, and a controller 7. The air pump 5 and the controller 7 are respectively connected to the power supply 6, and the air pump 5 is also connected to the controller 7. The air pump 5 is connected to the inflation port 4. When using the air pump 5 and the controller 7, an electrical box is wrapped around the air pump 5 and the controller 7. Figure 2 The structure of the electrical box is omitted.

[0036] Traditional inflatable products rely on manual air pumps or external air pumps 5, a laborious and cumbersome process. Manual inflation is highly unpredictable; under-inflation or over-inflation can affect product performance. This invention incorporates a power supply 6, an air pump 5, and a controller 7 in the inflatable airbag 2. The power supply 6 can be a rechargeable battery, providing power to the air pump 5 and controller 7. The controller 7 activates the air pump 5, which automatically inflates the airbag to a preset pressure via the inflation port 4, allowing the bathtub lid to quickly form. The controller 7 has pressure detection or timing functions, enabling the air pump 5 to automatically inflate the airbag to the optimal working pressure and then stop, ensuring the bathtub lid fully covers the bathtub and fits snugly against the edges. In one embodiment, the controller 7 has an inflation / deflation button and is also connected to a pressure sensor to detect the real-time pressure inside the airbag. In applications of existing systems, this invention allows the user to remove the bathtub lid from its stored state and lay it flat on the bathtub opening when using it. A short press of the button on controller 7 activates air pump 5 while keeping the deflation valve closed. Air pump 5 begins injecting air into the airbag 2. Simultaneously, the pressure sensor on controller 7 continuously monitors the pressure inside the airbag. When the pressure sensor detects that the pressure has reached the controller 7's preset optimal working pressure, controller 7 immediately cuts off the power to air pump 5, automatically stopping the inflation process. At this point, the bathtub lid is fully inflated and neatly covers the bathtub. To use the bathtub or store it, the user presses and holds the same button. Controller 7 receives the long-press instruction, first ensuring air pump 5 is off, then immediately opens the deflation solenoid valve at inflation port 4. Under the pressure inside the airbag, air is quickly expelled through the open solenoid valve. Controller 7 can control the deflation valve to remain open for a preset time. After deflation is complete, controller 7 automatically closes the deflation solenoid valve to prevent dust from entering the airbag 2. The user can then easily fold and store the softened bathtub lid.

[0037] Example 3:

[0038] An inflatable bathtub cover includes a bathtub cover, the bathtub cover having an upper cover 1 and a lower cover 3, an inflatable airbag 2 being provided between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 3, the inflatable airbag 2 having an inflation port 4, and the inflatable airbag 2 being covered with an insulation layer.

[0039] In one embodiment, the inflatable airbag 2 is further provided with a power supply 6, an air pump 5 and a controller 7. The air pump 5 and the controller 7 are respectively connected to the power supply 6, and the air pump 5 is also connected to the controller 7. The air pump 5 is connected to the inflation port 4.

[0040] In one embodiment, the top cover 1 is made of waterproof Oxford cloth.

[0041] The top cover 1, being the bathtub lid directly exposed to the external environment, is made of waterproof Oxford cloth with a dense structure and high-performance coating, effectively preventing the penetration of liquids such as rainwater, dew, and frost. Under variable outdoor weather conditions, moisture will not seep into the interior and damage the inflatable air bladder 2 and insulation layer, keeping the inside of the bathtub lid dry.

[0042] In one embodiment, the lower cover 3 is made of aluminum foil insulation fabric. Further, the insulation layer is also made of aluminum foil insulation fabric. Both the insulation layer and the lower cover 3 are made of aluminum foil insulation fabric. The lower cover 3 is the layer facing the inside of the bathtub, in direct contact with water vapor and surface heat radiation. The aluminum foil material has extremely high heat reflectivity, which can reflect most of the heat radiated outward from the bathtub surface, reducing heat radiation loss and significantly slowing down the rate at which the outdoor bathtub water temperature drops when not in use.

[0043] In one embodiment, a skirt 8 is further provided at the lower edge of the bathtub cover. The skirt 8 is further provided at the lower edge of the lower cover 3, extending the coverage area of ​​the bathtub cover so that the bathtub cover can fit snugly against the outer wall of the bathtub, effectively preventing side drafts from entering from the bottom and blowing the bathtub cover over.

[0044] As a further supplement to the above solution, the lower cover 3 is also equipped with multiple latches, which are connected to the lower cover 3 via connecting straps. With these multiple latches, the user can securely lock the lower cover 3 to a fixed point on the edge of the bathtub using the connecting straps, ensuring the bathtub cover fits firmly over the bathtub opening.

[0045] On the other hand, the bathtub cover also has an inflatable layer 10 made of waterproof Oxford cloth between the upper cover 1 and the lower cover 3. The inflatable layer 10 has an internal cavity and a side opening 9. The inflatable airbag 2 is disposed inside the inflatable layer 10. The side opening 9 can be opened and closed by means of a zipper or other structure.

[0046] like Figure 4 As shown, when the power supply 6, air pump 5 and controller 7 are applied to the inflatable airbag 2, there is no need to use a foot pump or mouth to blow air to inflate it. Just start the air pump 5 through the controller 7 to automatically complete the inflation and forming process of the cover. If the airbag is accidentally damaged, the inflatable airbag 2 can be removed separately through the side opening 9 of the inflatable layer 10 for repair or replacement, without having to replace the entire bathtub cover, which can improve the convenience of using the bathtub cover.

[0047] In summary, any other corresponding modifications made by those skilled in the art after reading this utility model document, based on the technical solution and concept of this utility model without creative mental effort, shall all fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
