Folding bath bucket
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing folding bath buckets face issues with the thermal insulation fabric being easily damaged during use and the folded structure occupying too much space due to unfoldable components.
Innovation Solution
A novel folding bath bucket design featuring a folding bracket and a water storage component, where the water storage component is connected to the folding bracket via a connection frame with a chamber and connection slot, allowing for sliding mounting and complete wrapping of the connection portion, thus protecting it from damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If thermal insulation fabric sleeves the bath bucket opening connection sleeve, then the connection is achieved, but the thermal insulation fabric is easily worn and damaged during use, reducing service life
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a connection frame as an intermediary component between the water storage component and the folding bracket. The connection frame includes a chamber that completely wraps the connection portion, transferring the harmful external forces away from the thermal insulation fabric. This mediator structure allows the fabric to be protected while still achieving the necessary connection function.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection frame with chamber provides beforehand cushioning by completely enclosing the connection portion before external forces can reach it. The chamber structure anticipates potential wear and damage by creating a protective barrier in advance, preventing direct contact between vulnerable components and external harmful factors during use.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the base and bath bucket opening connection sleeve are made fixed for structural stability, then connection is achieved, but they cannot be folded for storage, causing large space occupation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the supporting frame into multiple detachable segments including the folding bracket, connection frame, and water storage component. These segmented parts can be disconnected and folded for compact storage, yet reassembled to provide structural stability during use. The connection frame acts as a stable core structure that maintains integrity while allowing other parts to fold.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic characteristics by making the supporting frame detachable and foldable while maintaining structural stability during use. The connection frame provides a stable connection point, while the overall structure can be dynamically assembled and disassembled for storage, transforming from a static fixed structure to a dynamic reconfigurable system.

AI summary
A novel folding bath bucket includes a folding bracket and a water storage component. The water storage component is connected to the folding bracket for water storage. A connection frame is arranged at a top of the folding bracket. A chamber is formed inside the connection frame. The chamber forms a connection slot at a bottom of the connection frame. A connection portion is arranged at a top of the water storage component. The connection portion is clamped in the chamber through the connection slot to achieve the connection between the water storage component and the folding bracket. Through the above arrangement, the connection portion of the present disclosure is completely wrapped in the chamber inside the connection frame, avoiding damage caused by direct contact between the connection portion and the outside.
