Description

A combination bathtub with a soft body and a rigid frame

[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202520021544.X, filed on January 3, 2025, entitled “A Bathtub Combination of Soft Pool Body and Hard Frame”, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This utility model relates to the field of leisure and entertainment, and in particular to a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a rigid outer frame. Background Technology

[0003] In today's fast-paced urban life, with its high work pressure, there's a greater need for leisure activities to enhance enjoyment. Bathtubs allow people to relax and enjoy life more while bathing, making them widely popular. Some bathtubs even offer massage and relaxation functions. Currently, the main types of bathtubs on the market are hard acrylic bathtubs or soft-material inflatable bathtubs. This makes them inconvenient to disassemble and store.

[0004] Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of inconvenient disassembly and storage of bathtubs. This invention provides a bathtub combining a soft tub body and a rigid outer frame, which allows for easy disassembly and storage.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a rigid outer frame, comprising:

[0007] A rigid outer frame, the rigid outer frame including a receiving cavity, the rigid outer frame being formed by a plurality of connectors detachably connected circumferentially to form the receiving cavity;

[0008] A soft pool body, the soft pool body including a water-containing cavity, the longitudinal top end of the water-containing cavity having an opening, the soft pool body being located within the containing cavity;

[0009] The rigid outer frame and the soft pool body are detachably connected via a connecting part;

[0010] And / or, the soft pool body is supported within the receiving cavity by a support member.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, the combined bathtub with a soft pool body and a rigid outer frame includes a rigid outer frame and a soft pool body. The rigid outer frame is formed by multiple connectors that are detachably connected circumferentially, facilitating disassembly and storage, reducing floor space, and simplifying transportation. Simultaneously, the pool body is made of a soft material, making it easy to store, reducing floor space, and facilitating transportation. This design facilitates the overall disassembly and storage of the combined bathtub with the soft pool body and rigid outer frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the rigid outer frame and the soft pool body are connected by a connecting part to form a complete soft pool and rigid frame bathtub combination, simplifying the assembly of the bathtub combination. When the bathtub combination needs to be stored, the connecting part can be detached to allow for separate storage and disassembly of the rigid outer frame and the soft pool body, simplifying the disassembly process. Similarly, the soft pool body is supported by a support member within the receiving cavity of the rigid outer frame to form a complete soft pool and rigid frame bathtub combination, eliminating the need for additional assembly and simplifying the assembly process. Similarly, when the bathtub combination needs to be stored, the rigid outer frame and the soft pool body can be separately stored and disassembled, simplifying the disassembly process.

[0013] Alternatively, the support member supports the soft pool body within the receiving cavity, and then the soft pool body is connected to the rigid outer frame through the connecting part. This dual function makes the connection between the two more stable, while also achieving the aforementioned technical effects of easy storage and disassembly.

[0014] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a hard outer frame. The connecting part is integrally formed with the soft pool body. The connecting part is located on the outer periphery of the soft pool body and is detachably connected to the hard outer frame; or, the connecting part is located at the longitudinal bottom end of the soft pool body and is detachably connected to the hard outer frame; or, the connecting part is located at the longitudinal bottom end and top end of the soft pool body and is detachably connected to the hard outer frame; or, the connecting part is located at the longitudinal bottom end and outer periphery of the soft pool body and is detachably connected to the hard outer frame; or, the connecting part is located at the longitudinal bottom end, top end, and outer periphery of the soft pool body and is detachably connected to the hard outer frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting part is integrally formed with the soft pool body. The connecting part is located at the longitudinal bottom of the soft pool body to connect with the rigid outer frame, thereby assembling the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame bathtub. This simplifies the assembly process of the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame bathtub. At the same time, when it is necessary to store the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame bathtub, it is only necessary to separate the connecting part from the rigid outer frame to store and disassemble the rigid outer frame and the soft pool body separately, simplifying the disassembly process.

[0016] Similarly, by integrally molding the connecting part with the soft pool body, the connecting part can be located at both the top and bottom longitudinal ends of the soft pool body, or at the outer periphery of the soft pool body, or at the bottom longitudinal end and outer periphery of the soft pool body, or at the bottom longitudinal end, top longitudinal end, and outer periphery of the soft pool body. All of these methods can achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, simplify the assembly and disassembly of the soft pool body and rigid outer frame combined bathtub, reduce the floor space occupied, and facilitate transportation.

[0017] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a hard outer frame. The connecting part is provided at least one location at the longitudinal top end, longitudinal bottom end, and between the hard outer frame and the soft pool body of the bathtub, and is detachably connected to the hard outer frame and the soft pool body.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting part is located at the top longitudinal direction of the combined bathtub with the soft pool body and the hard outer frame to connect with the hard outer frame and the soft pool body, thereby assembling the combined bathtub with the soft pool body and the hard outer frame. This simplifies the assembly process of the combined bathtub with the soft pool body and the hard outer frame. At the same time, when it is necessary to store the combined bathtub with the soft pool body and the hard outer frame, it is only necessary to separate the connecting part from the hard outer frame and the soft pool body to store and disassemble the hard outer frame and the soft pool body separately, which simplifies the disassembly process.

[0019] Similarly, by providing connecting parts at the longitudinal bottom end, longitudinal top and bottom ends of the combined bathtub with a soft pool and a hard outer frame, or between the hard outer frame and the soft pool, or between the longitudinal top end and the hard outer frame and the soft pool, or between the longitudinal bottom end and the hard outer frame and the soft pool, or between the longitudinal bottom end, top end, and the hard outer frame and the soft pool, the above-mentioned technical effects can be achieved, simplifying the assembly and disassembly of the combined bathtub with a soft pool and a hard outer frame, reducing the floor space occupied, and facilitating transportation.

[0020] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a hard outer frame. The support member is disposed on the inner periphery and / or outer periphery of the soft pool body and is spaced apart along the circumferential direction. The support member extends axially.

[0021] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a hard outer frame. The support member is disposed on the outer periphery of the soft pool body and is spaced apart along the circumferential direction. The support member extends axially, and the connecting part is disposed at at least one location between the longitudinal top end, the longitudinal bottom end, and the hard outer frame and the soft pool body of the bathtub combining the soft pool body and the hard outer frame, and is detachably connected to the hard outer frame and the soft pool body.

[0022] Using the above technical solution, the support member supports the soft pool body within the receiving cavity, allowing it to stand stably within the cavity. Then, a connecting part is located at the longitudinal top of the combined soft pool body and hard outer frame bathtub, and is detachably connected to the hard outer frame and soft pool body, thereby assembling the combined soft pool body and hard outer frame bathtub. This simplifies the assembly process of the combined soft pool body and hard outer frame bathtub. At the same time, when it is necessary to store the combined soft pool body and hard outer frame bathtub, it is only necessary to separate the connecting part from the hard outer frame and soft pool body to store and disassemble the hard outer frame and soft pool body separately, simplifying the disassembly process. Furthermore, the dual function of the support member and the connecting part further stabilizes the connection between the soft pool body and the hard outer frame.

[0023] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a hard outer frame. The connecting part is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove and a protrusion on the side facing the hard outer frame. The protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove are arranged radially at intervals. The longitudinal top and / or bottom ends of the plurality of connecting members are limited to the snap-fit ​​groove, and the supporting member is limited to the protrusion.

[0024] Using the above technical solution, the snap-fit ​​groove of the connecting part limits the longitudinal top and / or bottom of multiple connecting parts, thus limiting the rigid outer frame within the snap-fit ​​groove, that is, the rigid outer frame and the connecting part are connected. The protrusion limits the supporting part, thus limiting the soft pool body within the protrusion, that is, the soft pool body and the connecting part are connected. Thus, the rigid outer frame and the soft pool body are connected to form a complete soft pool body and rigid outer frame combination bathtub.

[0025] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a hard outer frame, wherein the connecting part is a double-sided suction cup or Velcro.

[0026] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a hard outer frame, wherein the support member includes a plurality of first support members, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction.

[0027] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a hard outer frame, wherein the hard outer frame is made of wood-plastic composite or wood.

[0028] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a bathtub combining a soft pool body and a hard outer frame, wherein the soft pool body is made of PVC or PVC with mesh reinforcement. Attached Figure Description

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0059] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, this application embodiment provides a bathtub with a soft pool body and a hard outer frame. The bathtub with a soft pool body and a hard outer frame includes a hard outer frame 100 and a soft pool body 200. The hard outer frame 100 includes a receiving cavity 101. Figure 3 shows that the shape of the receiving cavity 101 is circular, but this application does not limit the shape of the receiving cavity 101, as long as it can accommodate the soft pool body 200. For example, in some possible embodiments, the shape of the receiving cavity 101 is quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, etc.

[0060] For example, the rigid outer frame 100 is formed by ten connectors 102 detachably connected in the circumferential direction (i.e., direction A as shown in FIG3) to form a receiving cavity 101.

[0061] For example, the soft pool 200 includes a water-containing cavity 201 (for storing water). The top of the water-containing cavity 201 has an opening in the longitudinal direction (i.e., the axial direction of the water-containing cavity 201, i.e., the X direction shown in FIG3). The soft pool 200 is located inside the cavity 101. The rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool 200 are arranged radially (i.e., the Y direction shown in FIG3) or the rigid outer frame 100 is attached to the soft pool 200. FIG3 shows that the water-containing cavity 201 is circular, but this application does not limit the shape of the water-containing cavity 201, as long as it can be accommodated in the rigid outer frame 100. For example, in some possible embodiments, the water-containing cavity 201 is quadrilateral, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, etc.

[0062] The rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200 are detachably connected via a connecting part 300; or, the soft pool body 200 is supported in the receiving cavity 101 by a support member 400; or, the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200 are detachably connected via a connecting part 300 and the soft pool body 200 is supported in the receiving cavity 101 by a support member 400.

[0063] Using the above technical solution, the combined bathtub with a soft pool body and a rigid outer frame includes a rigid outer frame 100 and a soft pool body 200. The rigid outer frame 100 is formed by ten detachable connectors 102, which facilitates disassembly of the rigid outer frame 100, making it easy to store after disassembly, reducing floor space, and facilitating transportation. Simultaneously, the pool body is made of a soft material, making it easy to store, reducing floor space, and facilitating transportation. This design facilitates the overall disassembly and storage of the combined bathtub with the soft pool body and rigid outer frame. Furthermore, the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200 are connected by the connecting part 300 to form a complete soft pool body and rigid outer frame bathtub combination, simplifying the assembly of the soft pool body and rigid outer frame bathtub combination. When the soft pool body and rigid outer frame bathtub combination needs to be stored, only the connecting part 300 needs to be disassembled to allow the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200 to be stored and disassembled separately, simplifying the disassembly process. Similarly, the soft pool body 200 is supported by the support member 400 so that it is located within the receiving cavity 101 of the rigid outer frame 100 to form a complete soft pool body and rigid outer frame bathtub combination, eliminating the need for additional assembly procedures and simplifying the assembly of the soft pool body and rigid outer frame bathtub combination. Similarly, when the soft pool body and rigid outer frame bathtub combination needs to be stored, the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200 can be stored and disassembled separately, simplifying the disassembly process.

[0064] Alternatively, the support member 400 supports the soft pool body 200 in the receiving cavity 101, and then the soft pool body 200 is connected to the rigid outer frame 100 through the connecting part 300. The dual function makes the connection between the two more stable, and also has the above-mentioned technical effect of easy storage and disassembly.

[0065] It should be noted that the number of connectors 102 is not limited in this application embodiment, as long as they can form the rigid outer frame 100 as described above in the circumferential direction, and can be eight, twelve, fifteen, etc.

[0066] For example, the rigid outer frame 100 described above is made of wood-plastic composite or wood. Currently, the outer frames of bathtubs with soft pool bodies and rigid outer frames on the market are made of acrylic, inflatable bladders, metal frames, or concrete structures. The rigid outer frame 100 of this application uses wood-plastic composite connectors 102, replacing traditional acrylic, inflatable bladders, metal frames, etc. The combination of soft pool body and rigid outer frame bathtub is aesthetically pleasing.

[0067] For example, the soft pool body 200 described above is made of PVC or PVC with mesh reinforcement. The water pressure bearing requirements are met by selecting PVC with mesh reinforcement or PVC sheet material.

[0068] For example, ten connectors 102 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction (i.e., direction A as shown in Figure 3), and the structures of the ten connectors 102 in this application are all the same. The following description uses the structure of one of the connectors 102 as an example, which is referred to as the first connector 103 for ease of description. The structures of the other connectors 102 can be referred to the structure of the first connector 103, and will not be described again.

[0069] For example, referring to FIG4, the first connector 103 extends circumferentially (i.e., direction A shown in FIG4), and has a third protrusion 104 at one end, which extends longitudinally, and a third groove 105 at the other end, which extends longitudinally (i.e., the axial direction of the water receiving cavity 201, i.e., direction X shown in FIG4). Correspondingly, the connector 102 adjacent to it has a third groove 105 that mates with the third protrusion 104 of the first connector 103, and a third protrusion 104 that mates with the third groove 105 of the first connector 103.

[0070] For example, referring to Figures 4 to 4A, one end of the first connector 103 is provided with an arc-shaped recess 106, and the third protrusion 104 is provided in the arc-shaped recess 106 and protrudes outward away from the arc-shaped recess 106. The third protrusion 104 includes a horizontal segment 1041 and an arc-shaped segment 1042. One end of the horizontal segment 1041 is connected to the arc-shaped recess 106, and the other end is connected to the arc-shaped segment 1042. The horizontal segment 1041 extends circumferentially.

[0071] For example, referring to Figures 4 to 4B, the other end of the first connector 103 is provided with a first part 107 and a second part 108. One end of the first part 107 and the second part 108 are connected by an arc to form an arc groove 1051, and the other end is arranged radially (i.e., in the Y direction shown in Figure 4B) to form a horizontal groove 1052. The arc groove 1051 and the horizontal groove 1052 are connected to form the aforementioned third groove 105. The arc segment 1042 is inserted into the arc groove 1051 in the circumferential direction, and the horizontal segment 1041 is inserted into the horizontal groove 1052 in the circumferential direction, so that the third protrusion 104 and the third groove 105 achieve a concave-convex fit. The arc recessed portion 106 covers a part of the first part 107 and the second part 108, thereby making the two adjacent connectors 102 detachably connected.

[0072] Alternatively, one end of the first connector 103 protrudes outward in a circumferential direction away from the other end to form a strip-shaped third protrusion 104 (not shown in the figure), and the other end of the first connector 103 is recessed in a circumferential direction toward one end to form a third groove 105 (not shown in the figure), wherein the shape of the third protrusion 104 matches the shape of the third groove 105. It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not limit the shape of the third protrusion 104 and the shape of the third groove 105, as long as the third protrusion 104 and the third groove 105 fit together to allow adjacent connectors 102 to be detachably connected.

[0073] For example, the first connector 103 has sixteen first weight-reducing holes 109 at one longitudinal end. The sixteen first weight-reducing holes 109 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first connector 103 (i.e., the circumferential direction, i.e., direction A in Figure 4) and extend through the first connector 103 longitudinally (i.e., the direction X in Figure 4). The number of first weight-reducing holes 109 is not limited in this embodiment of the application, and can be three, five, ten, fifteen, etc.

[0074] Alternatively, in other possible embodiments, referring to Figures 5 to 5B and in conjunction with Figure 1, the other end of the first connector 103 includes a first segment 1053, a second segment 1054, a third segment 1055, a fourth segment 1056, and a bent segment 1057 connected in sequence. The first segment 1053 extends radially and close to the soft pool body 200. The third segment 1055 extends circumferentially (i.e., direction A shown in Figure 5B). The second segment 1054 extends toward the third segment 1055 to connect the first segment 1053 and the third segment 1055. The fourth segment 1056 extends radially and away from the soft pool body 200. One end of the fourth segment 1056 is connected to the third segment 1055, and the other end is bent toward the second segment 1054 to form the bent segment 1057, and is radially spaced from the third segment 1055 (i.e., direction Y shown in Figure 5B) to form the aforementioned third groove 105.

[0075] Referring to Figures 5 and 5A, one end of the first connector 103 includes a fifth segment 1043, a sixth segment 1044, and a seventh segment 1045. The fifth segment 1043 extends circumferentially (i.e., direction A as shown in Figure 5A), and the sixth segment 1044 extends radially (i.e., direction Y as shown in Figure 5A). One end of the sixth segment 1044 is connected to one end of the fifth segment 1043. The other end of the sixth segment 1044 is bent toward the third groove 105 to form the seventh segment 1045. The seventh segment 1045 extends circumferentially. The fifth segment 1043, the sixth segment 1044, and the seventh segment 1045 form a Z-shaped third protrusion 104. The other end of the fifth segment 1043 abuts against one end of the first segment 1053, so that the sixth segment 1044 and the seventh segment 1045 are located within the third groove 105.

[0076] In other possible implementations, referring to Figures 3 and 3A, the rigid outer frame 100 includes a first frame 600 and a second frame 601. The soft pool body 200, the first frame 600 and the second frame 601 are arranged radially spaced apart. The second frame 601 is formed by a plurality of connectors 102 detachably connected in the circumferential direction. The first frame 600 is formed by a plurality of second connectors 603 detachably connected in the circumferential direction to form the aforementioned receiving cavity 101. The first frame 600 and the second frame 601 are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​part 604.

[0077] Referring to Figures 3 and 3A, the structure of the ten connectors 102 of the second frame 601 is the same as that of the first connector 103 described in any of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0078] The structure of the ten second connectors 603 of the first frame 600 can be the structure of the first connector 103 described in any of the above embodiments. The ten second connectors 603 are detachably connected in the circumferential direction (i.e., direction A shown in FIG3) and then connected to the ten connectors 102 of the first frame 600 through the buckle part 604. Alternatively, the second connector 603 can also be a plate-shaped structure of a connecting plate, without the third protrusion 104 and the third groove 105 provided at both ends. The ten connecting plates are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction and are connected to the ten connectors 102 of the first frame 600 and the adjacent connecting plates only through the buckle part 604.

[0079] The number of the second connectors 603 in this embodiment is not limited; it can be five, eleven, twelve, etc.

[0080] Specifically, the latching part 604 includes the third protrusion 104 and the third groove 105 described in any of the above embodiments, except that the latching part 604 is located between the first frame 600 and the second frame 601, and the two ends of the latching part 604 are respectively connected to the first connector 103 and the second connector 603.

[0081] By setting two frames (i.e., the first frame 600 and the second frame 601 mentioned above), the load-bearing capacity of the rigid outer frame 100 is enhanced, and the thickness of the rigid outer frame 100 is increased, making the user experience more comfortable. In addition, the thickness of the rigid outer frame 100 is not increased by simply thickening the first frame 600, but by setting two frames to thicken it, the weight is reduced, the cost is saved, and it is also convenient for storage.

[0082] In some possible implementations, the soft-walled and hard-framed bathtub also includes a cover assembly 500. The cover assembly 500 can be disposed at the longitudinal top and / or longitudinal bottom of the soft-walled and hard-framed bathtub. The specific placement can be selected based on the position of the connecting part 300. When the connecting part 300 is located at the longitudinal top of the soft-walled and hard-framed bathtub, the cover assembly 500 can be located at the longitudinal bottom of the soft-walled and hard-framed bathtub or not disposed. When the connecting part 300 is located at the longitudinal bottom of the soft-walled and hard-framed bathtub, the cover assembly 500 can be located at the longitudinal top of the soft-walled and hard-framed bathtub or not disposed. When the connecting part 300 is located at both the longitudinal bottom and top of the soft-walled and hard-framed bathtub, the cover assembly 500 may not be disposed.

[0083] For example, referring to FIG1, the connecting part 300 can be integrally formed. Referring to FIG2, the connecting part 300 can also include ten first connecting parts 314 with the same structure, and the ten first connecting parts 314 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction (i.e., direction A shown in FIG2).

[0084] Example 1

[0085] For example, the rigid outer frame 100 and the flexible pool body 200 are connected only by a connecting part 300, and the connecting part 300 is integrally formed with the flexible pool body 200. The connecting part 300 may be located at the longitudinal bottom end, the outer periphery, the top and bottom ends, or the bottom and outer periphery of the flexible pool body 200, or the connecting part 300 may be located at the longitudinal bottom end, the outer periphery, and the top end of the flexible pool body 200.

[0086] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not limit the way in which the connecting part 300 and the rigid outer frame 100 are detachably connected, as long as the connecting part 300 and the rigid outer frame 100 can be detachably connected. For ease of understanding, the embodiments of this application show several connection methods for reference, that is, the way in which the connecting part 300 and the rigid outer frame 100 are detachably connected can be any of the methods described later.

[0087] In some possible implementations, referring to Figures 6 and 6A, the connecting portion 300 includes a first extension 301. One end of the first extension 301 is connected to the soft pool body 200, and the other end extends toward the rigid outer frame 100. The rigid outer frame 100 has a first groove 111 on the side facing the connecting portion 300. The first extension 301 extends in the direction toward the first groove 111 and is inserted into the first groove 111 to connect with the connector 102 of the rigid outer frame 100. Alternatively, the other end of the first extension 301 has a first protrusion that engages with the first groove (not shown).

[0088] In some possible implementations, referring to Figures 7 and 7A, the connecting portion 300 includes a second extension 302 and a first bending section 303. One end of the second extension 302 is connected to the soft pool body 200, and the other end extends radially (i.e., in the Y direction shown in Figure 7A) and is connected to the first bending section 303. The first bending section 303 extends toward the rigid outer frame 100 and is located at a position other than both ends of the rigid outer frame 100. The side of the connector 102 of the rigid outer frame 100 facing the first bending section 303 is provided with a second groove 112. The first bending section 303 is inserted into the second groove 112 to connect with the connector 102 of the rigid outer frame 100. Alternatively, the connecting portion 300 includes a second extension 302 that extends radially to be flush with or beyond the outer periphery of the rigid outer frame 100. The second extension 302 has a second protrusion (not shown) facing a portion of the rigid outer frame 100. The connecting member 102 of the rigid outer frame 100 has a second groove 112 on the side facing the second protrusion. The second protrusion is inserted into the second groove 112 to connect with the connecting member 102 of the rigid outer frame 100.

[0089] For example, the connecting portion 300 of the soft pool body 200 is high-frequency heated with PVC strips to form the first bent section 303 described above, and the rigid PVC strip is high-frequency connected to the mesh PVC. The PVC strip is snapped into the second groove 112 of the connector 102, resulting in a stable connection and convenient installation.

[0090] In some possible implementations, referring to Figures 8 and 8A, the connecting portion 300 includes a third extension 304 and a second bending section 305. One end of the third extension 304 is connected to the soft pool body 200, and the other end extends radially (i.e., in the Y direction shown in Figure 8A) beyond the outer periphery of the rigid outer frame 100 and connects to the second bending section 305. The second bending section 305 extends axially and toward the rigid outer frame 100, and the second bending section 305 is detachably connected to the rigid outer frame 100.

[0091] This application does not limit the detachable connection method. For example, the second bent section 305 may have a fourth protrusion 306 on the side facing the rigid outer frame 100, and the connector 102 of the rigid outer frame 100 may have a fourth groove 113 on the side facing the second bent section 305. The fourth protrusion 306 and the fourth groove 113 are in a convex-concave fit, so that the connecting part 300 is detachably connected to the rigid outer frame 100. Alternatively, the side of the second bent section 305 facing the rigid outer frame 100 may be bonded to the connector 102 of the rigid outer frame 100. Or, the side of the second bent section 305 facing the rigid outer frame 100 may have a fourth groove, and the connector 102 of the rigid outer frame 100 may have a fourth protrusion, with the fourth protrusion and the fourth groove in a convex-concave fit (not shown in the figure).

[0092] The number of fourth protrusions 306 in this embodiment is not limited, but is determined according to the connecting part 300. When the connecting part 300 is integrally formed, there is one fourth protrusion 306. When the connecting part 300 is composed of multiple first connecting parts 314, the number of fourth protrusions 306 is equal to or greater than the number of first connecting parts 314. That is to say, one or more fourth protrusions 306 can be provided on a connecting part 300 so that the number of fourth protrusions 306 corresponds to the number of fourth grooves 113.

[0093] In some possible implementations, referring to Figures 9 and 9A, when the connecting portion 300 is located at either the top or bottom of the longitudinal direction of the soft pool body 200, the connecting portion 300 may also include a fourth extension 307 and two third bending sections 308. The two third bending sections 308 are arranged radially (i.e., in the Y direction shown in Figure 9A) to form a snap-fit ​​groove 309. The connector 102 of the rigid outer frame 100 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 309 so that the connecting portion 300 is detachably connected to the rigid outer frame 100.

[0094] Similarly, the number of snap-fit ​​slots 309 is not limited in this application embodiment, but is determined according to the connecting part 300. When the connecting part 300 is integrally formed, there is one snap-fit ​​slot 309. When the connecting part 300 is composed of multiple first connecting parts 314, the number of snap-fit ​​slots 309 is equal to or greater than the number of first connecting parts 314. That is to say, one or more snap-fit ​​slots 309 can be provided on a connecting part 300 so that the number of snap-fit ​​slots 309 corresponds to the number of connecting members 102.

[0095] Example 2

[0096] For example, the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200 are connected only by the connecting part 300, and the connecting part 300 and the soft pool body 200 are not integrally formed. That is, the connecting part 300 is a separate structure, wherein the connecting part 300 may be provided at any one or two of the following locations: the longitudinal bottom end of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame, between the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200, and the longitudinal top end of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame; or, the connecting part 300 may be provided simultaneously at the longitudinal bottom end of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame, between the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200, and the longitudinal top end of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame.

[0097] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application do not limit the way in which the connecting part 300 is detachably connected to the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200, as long as the connecting part 300 can be detachably connected to the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200. For ease of understanding, the embodiments of this application show several connection methods for reference, that is, the way in which the connecting part 300 is detachably connected to the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200 can be any of the methods described below.

[0098] The detachable connection method between the connecting part 300 and the rigid outer frame 100 is as described in Embodiment 1, and will not be repeated here.

[0099] The detachable connection between the connecting part 300 and the soft pool body 200 can be achieved by bonding, or the connecting part 300 facing the soft pool body 200 can be provided with a fifth groove, and the soft pool body 200 facing the connecting part 300 can be provided with a fifth protrusion. The fifth protrusion and the fifth groove are engaged to make the connecting part 300 and the soft pool body 200 detachably connected.

[0100] In some possible implementations, the connector 300 may also be a double-sided suction cup or Velcro.

[0101] Example 3

[0102] For example, referring to Figures 3 and 3A, the soft pool body 200 is supported in the receiving cavity 101 by a support member 400, which is located on the inner periphery and / or outer periphery of the soft pool body 200 and is spaced apart along the circumferential direction.

[0103] Specifically, the support member 400 includes a plurality of first support members 401. The first support member 401 is a round tube, but is not limited to this; it can also be a bracket, as long as it can provide support for the soft pool body 200. The plurality of first support members 401 are arranged at intervals along the circumference. The number of first support members 401 is not limited in this embodiment of the application; it can be three, five, ten, twelve, etc.

[0104] Example 4

[0105] For example, the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200 are connected by the connecting part 300, and the connecting part 300 and the soft pool body 200 are not integrally formed. That is, the connecting part 300 is a separate structure. The connecting part 300 can be provided at any one or two of the following locations: the longitudinal bottom end of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame, between the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200, and the longitudinal top end of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame. Alternatively, the connecting part 300 can be provided at the longitudinal bottom end of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame, between the rigid outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200, and the longitudinal top end of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the rigid outer frame. The soft pool body 200 is supported in the receiving cavity 101 by the support member 400.

[0106] Referring to Figures 10 to 11A, the soft pool body 200 is supported in the receiving cavity 101 by the support member 400. The support member 400 is provided on the inner periphery and / or outer periphery of the soft pool body 200 and is spaced apart along the circumferential direction.

[0107] Specifically, the support member 400 includes a plurality of first support members 401. The first support member 401 is a round tube, but is not limited to this; it can also be a bracket, as long as it can provide support for the soft pool body 200. The plurality of first support members 401 are arranged at intervals along the circumference. The number of first support members 401 is not limited in this embodiment of the application; it can be three, five, ten, twelve, etc.

[0108] For example, referring to Figures 10 to 10B, when the connecting portion 300 is located at the longitudinal bottom end and / or top end of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the hard outer frame, the connecting portion 300 includes a first surface 311. The side of the first surface 311 facing the hard outer frame 100 and the soft pool body 200 is provided with two fourth bending segments 313. The two fourth bending segments 313 extend axially and are arranged radially (i.e., the Y direction shown in Figure 10B) to form a snap-fit ​​groove 309. The first connector 103 of the hard outer frame 100 is limited to the snap-fit ​​groove 309 so that the connecting portion 300 is detachably connected to the hard outer frame 100.

[0109] The connecting part 300 also includes a protrusion 310, which extends axially and is radially spaced from the two fourth bending sections 313. The protrusion 310 and the first surface 311 form a semi-groove 312. When the soft pool 200 is filled with water, it expands toward the rigid outer frame 100 so that the first support member 401 abuts against the protrusion 310 and is located in the semi-groove 312 to limit the soft pool 200.

[0110] For example, referring to Figures 11 and 11A, when the connecting part 300 is located at the outer periphery of the combined bathtub of the soft pool body and the hard outer frame, the side of the connecting part 300 facing the soft pool body 200 is provided with a sixth groove (not shown in the figure), the sixth groove (not shown in the figure) is engaged with the first support member 401 of the soft pool body 200, the side of the hard outer frame 100 facing the connecting part 300 is provided with a seventh protrusion 110, the side of the connecting part 300 facing the hard outer frame 100 is provided with a seventh groove (not shown in the figure), the seventh protrusion 110 and the seventh groove (not shown in the figure) are engaged to connect the connecting part 300 to the hard outer frame 100.
