[0016] In this embodiment, the support legs 22 are movably connected to the support frame 21 and are movable between a folding position and a support position. The support frame 21 has a convex mounting portion 213, and the support legs 22 are rotatably connected to the mounting portion 213 of the support frame 21. The support legs 22 are rotatable between the folding position and the support position, and support protrusions 221 extend from the side walls of the support legs 22. When the support legs 22 are rotated to the support position, the support protrusions 221 support the bottom surfaces of the mounting portions 213. When the support legs 22 are rotated to the folding position, the support legs 22 are placed on top of the support frame 21. Specifically, there are two support legs 22. The two support legs 22 are rotatably connected to both sides of the support frame 21, respectively. The support frame 21 is an annular support frame 21. The support portion 12 is an annular support portion 12. Furthermore, the support legs 22 are rotatably connected to the support frame 21 via a rotation axis. Because the support legs 22 are movable between the folding position and the support position, when using the folding bathtub, the user rotates the support legs 22 to the support position to support the support frame 21, and the support frame 21 and the support legs 22 support the folding bathtub, preventing deformation of the folding bathtub and facilitating use of the bathtub. On the other hand, when storing, transporting, or packaging the folding bathtub, the user rotates the support legs to the folding position and stacks the support legs and the support frame on top of each other, thereby reducing the volume occupied by the support legs and the support frame. Furthermore, when the support legs 22 are rotated to the support position, the support protrusions 221 support the bottom surface of the mounting portion 213, so that a portion of the weight of the folding bathtub and the support frame 21 is shared by the support protrusions 221, preventing the entire weight of the folding bathtub and the support frame 21 from being concentrated on the rotation axis. Furthermore, when the support leg 22 rotates to the support position, the support protrusion 221 supports the bottom surface of the mounting portion 213, and the support protrusion 221 comes into close contact with the bottom surface of the mounting portion 213 due to the weight of the folding bathtub and support frame 21, preventing the support leg 22 from shifting.

[0017] In this embodiment, the bathtub body 1 includes an upper wall 14, a bottom wall 15, and an intermediate connecting wall 16 connecting the upper wall 14 and the bottom wall 15.

An upper connecting portion 162 is protruding from the upper side of the intermediate sidewall portion 161. The upper connecting portion 162 is located between the first left portion 141 and the first right portion 142. The upper connecting portion 162 connects the first left portion 141 and the first right portion 142. A bottom connecting portion 163 extends from the lower side of the intermediate sidewall portion 161. The bottom wall 15 includes a first bottom portion 151 and a second bottom portion 152. The bottom connecting portion 163 is located between the first bottom portion 151 and the second bottom portion 152 and connects the first bottom portion 151 and the second bottom portion 152. Because the bottom connecting portion 163 is flexible, the first bottom portion 151 and the second bottom portion 152 can be folded. Because the upper connecting portion 162 is flexible, the first left portion 141 and the first right portion 142 can be folded. Because the middle sidewall portion 161 is flexible, the upper sidewall 14 and the bottom wall 15 can be folded. Here, the middle connecting wall 16 is made of flexible silica gel, and the upper sidewall 14 and the bottom wall 15 are rigid. The above structure further reduces the volume of the collapsible bathtub, making it easier to store, pack and transport. Here, the upper connecting portion 162, the bottom connecting portion 163 and the middle side wall portion 161 are integrally molded.

[0018] In this embodiment, the foldable bathtub further includes a sealing plug 5. A water outlet 18 is installed at the bottom of the bathtub body 1.
