Fig. 1 to 4B show a structure and a manufacturing method of an aerated water tank according to a first example of the first embodiment of the invention.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3B, an inflatable pool 10 according to a first example of a first embodiment of the present invention includes a pool body 100 and a seating furniture. The pool body 100 and the seating furniture may each be made of a flexible sheet material that is one of a polymer sheet material (e.g., polyvinyl chloride), a rubber sheet material, or a fabric, or that is compounded from a plurality of different material.

The cell body 100 includes a bottom wall 102 and side walls 104. In a first example, the side walls 104 of the cell body 100 are inflatable and the bottom wall 102 of the cell body 100 is non-inflatable. It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the bottom wall 102 is provided with an interlayer (not shown) in which is provided an elastic porous material that may promote the comfort of the bottom wall 102. The side wall 104 may include an outer wall 101 and an inner wall 103 and an interior space 105 defined by the outer wall 101 and the inner wall 103. A plurality of tension members 106 may be provided in the inner space 105. The tension member 106 may be in a strip shape or a sheet shape, and both ends of the tension member 106 are connected to the outer wall 101 and the inner wall 103 of the side wall 104, respectively. When the side wall 104 is inflated such that the air pressure of the inner space thereof is greater than the ambient air pressure, the tension member 106 tightens the outer wall 101 and the inner wall 103 of the side wall 104 such that the side wall 104 maintains a preset shape and stands up with respect to the bottom wall 102 to form the water containing space 108 together with the bottom wall 102. In a first example, the side walls 104 form a generally square shape around the bottom wall 102.

The bottom wall 102 is in some embodiments optionally provided with gas passages and gas holes (not shown in the figures), through which the gas passages communicate with the water containing space 108. The air passage is used for transporting air pressurized by an external air pump. The pressurized air is released into the water carried by the water containing space 108 through the air holes, thereby forming bubbles to realize the massage function.

The seat includes an inflatable stool 202, the inflatable stool 202 being disposed within the water volume 108. In a first example, the seat includes an inflatable bench 202. It will be appreciated that the seat may also include more than one inflatable bench. The inflatable bench 202 includes a top panel 204, side panels 206, a bottom panel 208, and an inflatable chamber 210. The top and bottom edges of side panels 206 are joined to top panel 204 and bottom panel 208, respectively, to collectively define an inflatable chamber 210. A plurality of tensioning members 212 are disposed in the plenum chamber 210. The tensioning member 212 may be in the form of a strip or sheet, and both ends of the tensioning member 212 are connected to the lower surface of the topsheet 204 and the upper surface of the backsheet 208, respectively. The above-described connection of the topsheet 204, side panels 206, backsheet 208, and tensioning members 212 to each other may be achieved by welding or gluing.

When the inflatable bench 202 is inflated such that the air pressure within its inflation chamber 210 is greater than the ambient atmospheric pressure, the tensioning members 212 tension the top sheet 204 and the bottom sheet 208 such that the inflatable bench 202 maintains the preset shape.

The bottom plate 208 of the gas stool 202 may have an integral connecting portion 214 (refer to fig. 1 and 3B) provided in the circumferential direction of the gas stool 202 and the gas stool 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 102 of the cell body 100 by the connecting portion 214, thereby fixing the gas stool 202 within the cell body 100.

The attachment portion 214 is located on the outer peripheral side of the seam 209 between the backsheet 208 and the side gusset 206, and the attachment portion 214 is welded or glued to the bottom wall 102. In the first example, the connecting portion 214 is formed at the outer periphery of the base 208 and extends along the entire periphery of the inflatable stool 202. In other words, the entire outer periphery of the bottom plate 208 is reserved as the connection portion 214, and the connection portion 214 is partially or entirely connected to the bottom wall 102 of the cell body 100. For example, the connection portion 214 is intermittently connected to the bottom wall 102 by welding or gluing, so that the connection portion 214 is partially connected to the bottom wall 102. In this case, water may enter between the bottom plate 208 and the bottom wall 102 through the portion of the connection portion 214 that is not connected to the bottom wall 102, so that the air stool 202 is subject to buoyancy of the water to provide a certain support for the user, thereby reducing the local excessive pressure of the air stool 202 on the bottom wall 102. As another example, the connection portion 214 is entirely connected to the bottom wall 102, i.e., the bottom piece 208 of the gas stool 202 is hermetically connected to the bottom wall 102 of the cell body 100 by welding or cementing over its entire outer periphery. In this case, water in the water containing space 108 of the pool body 100 cannot enter between the gas stool 202 and the bottom wall 102, so that the gas stool 202 is not pulled by buoyancy of water, thereby preventing the connection part of the gas stool 202 and the bottom wall 102 from being damaged.

It is contemplated that the connecting portion of the base 208 in some embodiments includes a plurality of connecting sections spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the inflatable stool 202, and that each connecting section of the plurality of connecting sections is connected to the bottom wall 102 of the pool body 100. It is also contemplated that the attachment portion is formed in some embodiments at the bottom edge of side gusset 206 and is attached to bottom wall 102 of cell body 100.

In a first example, the side wall 104 and the inflatable bench 202 are each provided with a first inflation valve 110 and a second inflation valve 216 to allow the side wall 104 and the inflatable bench 202 to be inflated and deflated individually. Alternatively, the inflatable pool 10 in some embodiments includes a communication channel/communication opening or the like for communicating the interior space 105 of the side wall 104 with the inflation chamber 210 of the inflatable bench 202 to allow for simultaneous inflation and deflation of the side wall 104 and the inflatable bench 202, in which case an inflation valve may be provided on only one of the side wall 104 and the inflatable bench 202.

As described above, in the first example, the bottom wall 102 of the cell body 100 is non-inflatable. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the bottom wall 102 of the pool body 100 is inflatable, in which case the inflatable pool 10 may include a communication channel/communication opening or the like for communicating the interior space of the bottom wall 102 with the inflation chamber 210 of the inflatable stool 202 to allow for simultaneous inflation of the bottom wall 102 and the inflatable stool 202.

In some embodiments, the seat also includes an inflatable backrest coupled to the inflatable bench 202 to provide support for the user's head, back while sitting on the inflatable bench 202, thereby providing a more comfortable use experience. The inflatable backrest may be integral with the inflatable bench 202 or may be removably mounted to the inflatable bench 202.

A method of manufacturing an aerated water tank according to a first example of the first embodiment of the invention will be described below with reference to fig. 3A to 4B.

The method of manufacturing the pneumatic pool 10 according to the first example may include: providing a top panel 204, side gusset 206, bottom panel 208 and tensioning member 212 of the bottom wall 102 of the pool body 100, and the inflatable bench 202 (step a, as shown in fig. 4A); and assembling the gas stool 202 such that the gas stool 202 is non-detachably connected to the bottom wall 102 by the connecting portion 214 (step B, as shown in fig. 4B).

The base 208 provided in step a has a connecting portion 214 formed at its outer periphery, and the connecting portion 214 extends along the entire periphery of the inflatable stool 202. In other words, the entire outer periphery of the bottom plate 208 is reserved as a connecting portion 214 for connecting to the bottom wall 102 of the cell body 100.

Step b may comprise: connecting both ends of the tension member 212 to the lower surface of the top sheet 204 and the upper surface of the bottom sheet 208, respectively; attaching the bottom edge of side gusset 206 to backsheet 208 such that attachment portion 214 of backsheet 208 is located on the peripheral side of seam 209 between backsheet 208 and side gusset 206; and attaching the top edge of side gusset 206 to top panel 204. Wherein the top panel 204, bottom panel 208, and side panels 206 will collectively define an inflation chamber 210 of the inflatable bench 202, and the tensioning member 212 is located within the inflation chamber 210. Step b may further comprise: the connecting portion 214 of the bottom plate 208 is partially (e.g., intermittently) or entirely non-detachably connected to the bottom wall 102 of the cell body 100, thereby fixing the inflatable stool 202 to the bottom wall 102.

As shown in fig. 4B, the assembled gas stool 202 having the gas-filled chamber 210 may be placed in place on the bottom wall 102, and the connecting portion 214 of the gas stool 202 and the bottom wall 102 may be pressed and welded together on the floor base 22 of the welding apparatus by using the copper mold 24 of the welding apparatus (which has a ring-shaped configuration and has a shape matching the connecting portion 214 of the gas stool 202 extending along the entire periphery thereof), so that the bottom sheet 208 of the gas stool 202 is sealingly connected with the bottom wall 102 of the cell body 100 by welding over the entire outer periphery thereof.

It will be appreciated that the order of attachment between topsheet 204, backsheet 208, side panels 206, tensioning members 212, and bottom wall 102 may be adjusted, and is not limited to a particular order; the above-described connection of the topsheet 204, backsheet 208, side panels 206, tensioning members 212, and bottom wall 102 to each other may be accomplished by welding or gluing.

The manufacturing method may further include: the outer wall 101 and the inner wall 103 of the side wall 104 are provided, and the side wall 104 is assembled such that the side wall 104 is connected to the bottom wall 102 (step c, not shown).

Fig. 5 to 6 show the structure of an aerated water tank according to a second example of the first embodiment of the invention. The inflatable pool according to the second example is substantially identical in construction to the inflatable pool according to the first example except that the side wall 104 of the inflatable pool 10 according to the second example is formed in a generally circular shape around the bottom wall 102, and the inflatable bench 202 of the inflatable pool 10 according to the second example has an open annular (i.e., generally C-shaped) cross-section.

In addition to the shapes of the side walls and inflatable stools shown in the first and second examples, the side walls of the inflatable pool may alternatively be formed in an oval, triangular, rectangular, pentagonal or other polygonal shape around the bottom wall, or any other suitable shape; and the inflatable bench may also have a cross-section that is circular, oval, closed loop, triangular, square, rectangular, pentagonal or other polygonal, or any other suitable shape.

Further exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will be described further below, and the same points as those of the first embodiment will not be described again.
