[0002] A bathtub is a plumbing fixture used for bathing or showering, typically installed in a home bathroom. In recent years, wooden bathtubs have become increasingly popular, mainly made from Sichuan cedar wood, hence the name "Cecichuan wooden tub." Wooden bathtubs are usually used in conjunction with a bathtub rack.

[0003] While most bathtub racks can be folded and unfolded during use, they lack a stable positioning structure. As a result, when placing heavy items (such as bottled bath sets, tablets, etc.), the tray is prone to shifting or wobbling due to the force, which may not only cause the items to slip and be damaged, but also pose a safety hazard. In order to address the above problems, the inventor proposes a foldable bathtub rack to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The two ends of the support frame 1 are aligned with the positioning hole 18. The device is said to have a sliding connection with a U-shaped side pull plate 2. Several positioning holes 3 are opened at the center of the front end of the support frame 1. A circular groove 31 is opened inside the front end of the U-shaped side pull plate 2 near the center of the support frame 1. A positioning shaft 32 is slidably inserted at the front end of the U-shaped side pull plate 2 and located at the circular groove 31. The positioning shaft 32 is adapted to the positioning holes 3. A disc 33 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the positioning shaft 32 near the center. A return spring 34 is fixedly connected to the front end of the disc 33 and sleeved on the outer ring of the positioning shaft 32. The other end of the return spring 34 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 31. The tray 14 can rotate around the hinge axis. When unfolded, it remains horizontal with the top surface of the support frame 1. When folded, it is embedded in the top groove 12. The U-shaped side pull plate 2 is U-shaped. The front and rear ends of the support frame 1 are symmetrically provided with guide rails, which slide in conjunction with the guide grooves on the U-shaped side pull plate 2. The circular groove 31, positioning shaft 32, disc 33 and return spring 34 are symmetrically distributed on the two U-shaped side pull plates 2 near the center of the support frame 1.

[0020] The front end of the positioning shaft 32 is fixedly connected to a pull plate, and the pull plate is located at the front end of the U-shaped side pull plate 2.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface of the pull plate is provided with anti-slip texture, which makes it easy for the operator to manually pull the positioning shaft 32.

[0022] A rectangular placement slot 11 is provided at the top of the support frame 1 and near one side.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the rectangular placement slot 11 is equipped with an anti-slip rubber pad for placing rectangular items such as toiletries to prevent them from slipping.

[0024] A circular placement slot 13 is provided at the top of the support frame 1 and near the center of the other side.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the circular placement slot 13 is suitable for round items such as water cups and aromatherapy bottles, and the inner wall of the slot is attached with a cushioning sponge pad to prevent the items from being damaged by collision.

[0026] The positioning hole 2 19 has a detachable sliding insert shaft 110 inside, and the insert shaft 110 is compatible with the positioning hole 2 19 and the positioning hole 18.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the insert shaft 110 is greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the positioning block 17 and the support frame 1, thereby achieving a stable lock in the unfolded state of the tray 14.

[0028] An annular pull groove 15 is provided at the center of the top of the pallet 14.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner wall of the annular pull groove 15 is provided with anti-slip protrusions, which makes it easy for operators to insert their fingers to pull the tray 14 to achieve folding and unfolding.

[0030] The side end of the tray 14 near the positioning block 17 has a placement groove 16 that is compatible with the insertion shaft 110.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner wall of the placement groove 16 is provided with an elastic rubber ring, which can tightly fix the insertion shaft 110, making it easy to store the insertion shaft 110 when not in use and prevent it from being lost.

[0032] Working principle: When this device is unfolded, the U-shaped side plates 2 are pulled to both sides. Before pulling the U-shaped side plates 2, the positioning shaft 32 needs to be stretched (so that the return spring 34 is squeezed), so that the positioning shaft 32 is moved out of the positioning hole 3, so that the U-shaped side plates 2 can be pulled horizontally to achieve the effect of unfolding the two U-shaped side plates 2. After unfolding, the force on the positioning shaft 32 is released to fix the U-shaped side plates 2.

[0033] When unfolding and flipping the tray 14, first remove the insert shaft 110 from the placement slot 16, and then rotate the tray 14 with the help of the annular pull slot 15. After the tray 14 has rotated 90 degrees, the insert shaft 110 can be inserted into the positioning hole 18 and the positioning hole 29, thereby achieving a stable lock in the unfolded state of the tray 14. By setting the placement slot 16, the insert shaft 110 can be tightly fixed, making it easy to store the insert shaft 110 when not in use and preventing it from being lost.

[0034] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
