The term 'one' should not be understood as limiting the quantity.

In a first preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 8C, the present invention provides a pet bathtub, such as a bathtub or a swimming pool, suitable for containing water or cleaning liquid therein. The pet bathtub includes one support frame, one operation switch 20, one receiving body 30, and one support pad 60, and preferably, the support frame includes one foldable support. frame 10, the operation switch 20 can be pulled to switch the foldable support frame 10 between an unfolded state and a folded state, and the receiving body 30 is fixed to the foldable support frame 10. Or, it is mounted detachably. That is, when the foldable support frame 10 is unfolded, the receiving body 30 can also be unfolded to accommodate the used liquid. When the foldable support frame 10 is in a folded state, the receiving body 30 and the foldable support frame 10 are folded together, so that the entire bathtub can be stored in a folded form.

Preferably, in the process of unfolding the foldable support frame 10, the receiving body 30 automatically unfolds as the foldable support frame 10 unfolds, and correspondingly, the foldable support frame 10 In the folding process, the receiving body 30 is automatically folded as the foldable support frame 10 is folded.

Preferably, the foldable support frame 10 is a rigid frame, which is made of one or more materials selected from wood, metal, metal alloy, and plastic. For example, the metal used as a material for the foldable support frame 10 may be iron, copper, or aluminum.

Preferably, the receiving body 30 is a flexible body made of a flexible waterproof material such as PE (polyethylene), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), PP (polypropylene), or TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). Accordingly, the flexible receiving body 30 is easily folded together when the foldable support frame 10 is folded, and is easily unfolded together when the foldable support frame 10 is unfolded. When unfolded, the foldable support frame 10 is supported by the operation switch 20 in the unfolded state to firmly support the receiving body 30, and the foldable support frame 10 is changed from the unfolded state to the folded state. When switched, the operation switch 20 can be operated to release the foldable support frame 10 from being firmly supported.

The pulling method related to the present invention is a unidirectional operation method in which the bathtub is switched from the unfolded state to the folded state by manipulating the bathtub, that is, the bathtub is operated in the same direction so that the bathtub is in the unfolded state. It is necessary to mention the content that can be converted to the folded state. Preferably, the pulling method related to the present invention is a manipulation method when the bathtub is manipulated to switch from the unfolded state to the folded state, and the bathtub is pulled in a one-time manner in one direction, that is, the bathtub is pulled in a one-time manner toward the same direction. By pulling, the bathtub can be converted from the unfolded state to the folded state. A person skilled in the art will know that even if the bathtub is pulled in the same direction step by step, the bathtub can be converted from the unfolded state to the folded state. In this example, if the bathtub is pulled twice in the same direction, the bathtub can be converted to the folded state. It should be understood that the unfolded state can be converted to the folded state.

The receiving body 30 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is disposed on the foldable support frame 10. The receiving body 30 is driven by the foldable support frame 10 to fold or unfold. When the receiving body 30 is ready to be unfolded, the foldable support frame 10 is driven and unfolded. It is worth mentioning that the bathtub can be fully unfolded without any additional steps. The stability of opening the receiving body 30 or supporting the receiving body 30 can be improved without any additional steps. When the foldable support frame 10 is manipulated and unfolded, the receiving body 30 is simultaneously unfolded. Additionally, folding the receiving body 30 by folding the foldable support frame 10 is similar. When the foldable support frame 10 is folded, the foldable support frame 10 may drive the receiving body 30 to be folded. Therefore, the bathtub can be transformed to fold or unfold even with light manipulation.

The foldable support frame (10) includes at least two top arms (11), at least two foldable arms (12) and at least four support legs (13), wherein each top arm (11) is configured to support the foldable support frame (10). Suitably disposed on the arm 12 and the support leg 13, where the support leg 13 supports the foldable arm 12 and the top arm 11. Preferably, the quantities of the top arm 11, the foldable arm 12, and the support legs 13 are designed in harmony, and each of the top arms 11 and each of the foldable arms 12 correspond to the It is supported by support legs 13.

The foldable arms 12 are pivotally rotated and connected to each other by the operation switch 20. When the foldable arm 12 is rotated, the top arm 11 and the support leg 13 can be moved to fold or unfold. When the foldable support frame 10 is in a folded state, the two foldable arms 12 overlap each other and are folded, and when the foldable support frame 10 is in an unfolded state, the two foldable arms 12 are opened. You can lose and become flat. Therefore, when the foldable arm 12 is folded, the top arm 11 and the support leg 13 are folded together when the foldable arm 12 is folded, so simply folding the foldable arm 12 The foldable support frame 10 is folded for easy operation. Additionally, when the foldable support frame 10 is folded, the receiving body 30 is also folded.

The operation switch 20 is connected to both ends of the two foldable arms 12, and can control the folding and unfolding of the foldable support frame 10. The operation switch 20 can be further operated by pulling the foldable arm 12 to change it from an unfolded state to a folded state. That is, when the foldable support frame 10 is in an unfolded state, the operation switch 20 is pulled and the situation of the foldable arm 12 is changed. In other words, the foldable arm 12 loses its support and is folded due to gravity, and the foldable support frame 10 can be folded by pulling the operation switch 20 through a pulling method.

Specifically, the two foldable arms 12 are connected to each other by pivoting and rotating around one rotating rod 121, and the mutual rotating rod 121 is disposed between the ends of the two folding arms 12, and , the rotating rod 121 is mounted on the operation switch 20. While the two foldable arms 12 rotate around the operation switch 20, the operation switch 20 limits the rotation of the foldable arms 12 against each other. According to this embodiment, one of the foldable arms 12 is fixed to the operation switch 20, and the other arm of the foldable arm 12 rotates relatively freely opposite to the operation switch 20. Here, one of the foldable arms 12 is defined as one fixed arm 1202, and the other foldable arm 12 is defined as one free arm 1201. The fixed arm 1202 and the rotating rod 121 are mounted together on the operation switch 20. The free arm 1201 surrounds the rotary rod 121 and is rotated and installed on the operation switch 20.

Additionally, the fixed arm 1202 and the free arm 1201 surround the rotary rod 121 and rotate asymmetrically. That is, when the fixed arm 1202 and the free arm 1201 are folded together, the fixed arm 1202 and the free arm 1201 are stacked in a staggered manner so that they do not contact or collide with each other. On the one hand, this means that the fixed arm 1202 and the free arm 1201 may not suffer mechanical damage while being folded and unfolded, and on the other hand, after being folded, the fixed arm 1202 and the free arm 1201 may not be damaged. One holding passage is formed between (1201).

It is worth mentioning that the end of the free arm 1201 is connected to the diverting rod 122 in a more transverse direction. When the folding arm 12 is unfolded flat, the switching rod 122 is firmly supported by the operation switch 20, and the free arm 1201 is parallel to the fixed arm 1202. When the switching rod 122 is supported, the free arm 1201 is supported opposite to the same side of the fixed arm 1202. If the operation switch 20 is to be maintained to support the switching rod 122, the free arm 1201 is maintained relatively parallel to the fixed arm 1202. If the operation switch 20 releases the conversion rod 122, the free arm 1201 loses its support and rotates around the rotary rod 121 under the action of gravity to secure the fixed arm 1202. folded towards That is, when the switching rod 122 is supported by the operation switch 20, it is difficult for the foldable arm 12 to unfold and change its position due to the limitations of the operation switch 20. When the switching rod 122 leaves the operation switch 20, the foldable arm 12 can be rotated and folded around the rotating rod. Accordingly, the foldable arm 12 is restricted in the movement of the operation switch 20, and the folded or unfolded state of the foldable support frame 10 is indirectly determined by the operation switch 20.

In addition, the support leg 13 and the foldable arm 12 each surround and connect to one main axis 130 so as to pivot and rotate. When the foldable arm 12 rotates around the rotary rod 121, the angle and distance between the foldable arms 12 change, and the support leg 13 is forced to rotate around the main axis 130. Receive. Each of the support legs 13, each of the foldable arms 12, and the main shaft 130 are formed into a rotatable X-shaped frame. When the foldable arm 12 is moved, it is transmitted to the support leg 13, so there is no need to move the support leg 13 to further fold or unfold it.

More preferably, the top arm (11) is driven and rotated by the support leg (13) via a foldable assembly (110), wherein the foldable assembly (110) is mounted on the top end of the support leg (13). do. The support legs 13 fold and unfold as the foldable arm 12 rotates, and the top arm 11 is forced to rotate around the foldable assembly 110 . Each of the support legs 13, each of the top arms 11, and the folding assembly 110 are molded into a rotatable Λ-shaped frame. Since the foldable assembly 110 can be transferred to the support leg 13 when moved, there is no need to fold or unfold the support leg 13 due to the driving of the foldable assembly 110.

In detail, the foldable assembly 110 includes one turn back base portion 111 and one linkage device 112. The turnback base portion 111 is installed at the end of the top arm 11, and the upper end of the support leg 13 is accommodated therein. The linkage device 112 includes two connecting arm members 1121 mounted on the top end of the support leg 13 and the end of the top arm 11, respectively. Since the connecting arm members 1121 are connected through one interlocking axis 1122, the angle between each of the top arms 11 and each of the support legs 13 can be controlled and subject to maximum angle limitations. Each of the top arms 11, each of the support legs 13, and the connecting arm member 1121 are shaped like A, the top arm 11 of which moves the support leg 13, and the support leg 13 moves the support leg 13. (13) leads the top arm 11 to move around the turnback base portion 111.

Preferably, the support leg 13 and the top arm 11 can be folded by folding the foldable arm 12 by operating the operation switch 20 to release the conversion rod 122. Preferably, when the top arm 11 is unfolded, the foldable arm 12 is further driven to be supported by the operation switch 20, and the support leg 13 is unfolded.

Moreover, each of the support legs 13 is suitable for correspondingly installing one extension leg 14 to increase the height of the top arm 11 and the receiving body 30 on the top arm 11. ) is used to keep it in a predetermined position, as shown in Figure 5. Through the extension legs 14, the receiving body 30 is supported at a predetermined height point away from the ground, allowing for more hygienic cleaning while using water or cleaning liquid, and allowing the user to comfortably clean the body without bending the waist. You can use a bathtub.

The receiving body 30 is sealed and connected to the peripheral wall 31 by one peripheral wall 31 and one bottom wall 32, thereby making the receiving body 30 shaped like a bowl. One edge 310 of the peripheral wall 31 is disposed on the top arm 11 of the foldable support frame 10. In some alternative versions of the present invention, the receiving body 30 is detachably disposed on the top arm 11 and can be replaced. The receiving body 30 further includes at least one pocket 33 disposed on the peripheral wall 31. The pocket 33 is suitable for storing other items in the pocket, making it easy to hold items when cleaning or playing with liquid.

It is worth mentioning that the bottom wall 32 is provided with a drain hole 322 through which the receiving body 30 can be discharged. Preferably, the drain hole 322 is located in an area where the bottom wall 32 is relatively lower than other areas, so that the liquid therein can be effectively discharged. The drain 322 is suitable for connecting one drain pipe 46 to discharge the liquid from the receiving body 30 along a specific path. The liquid contained in the receiving body 30 can be used by covering and sealing the drain hole 322 with a plug.

In particular, when the foldable support frame 10 is in the folded state, the drain pipe 40 is disposed within the holding passage. This is because the fixed arm 1202 and the free arm 1201 are folded asymmetrically, so that the holding passage has a constant width. When the drain pipe 40 is within the holding passage, it is not pressed by the fixed arm 1202 and the free arm 1201. In other words, the drain pipe 40 is maintained in the holding passage when in the folded state, and the fixed arm 1202 and the free arm 1201 surround the drain pipe 40 in the holding passage from both sides. do. Accordingly, the drain pipe 40 is not damaged due to force applied from both sides, and the drain pipe 40 is maintained in a constant position to prevent random shaking.

The bottom wall 32 further includes one handle 321 connected to the operation switch 20. The foldable arm 12 can be folded by manipulating the manipulation switch 20 by manipulating the handle 321.

The operation switch 20 includes one main body 21, one slider 22 movably mounted within the main body 21, and the main body 21 is connected to the slider 22. The slider (22) includes one elastic member (23) that is firmly fixed to the body (21). The body 21 is formed and molded and held at one end on the foldable arm 12. In particular, the main body 21 may be rotatably disposed on the free arm 1201 and fixedly disposed on the fixed arm 1202. It is worth mentioning that the slider 22 partially protrudes out of the main body 21 due to the force propelled by the elastic member 23. When the slider 22 is pushed to protrude out of the main body 21, the slide block 23 may support the foldable arm 12 to remain in place. When the slider 22 moves toward the inside of the main body 21, the foldable arm 12 loses its support, falls, and rotates around the rotation rod 121. When the foldable arm 12 is no longer supported by the slider 22 of the operation switch 20, the foldable arm 12 is folded, that is, the two foldable arms 12 overlap each other. .

When the free arm 1201 is rotated and supported by the slider 22 and is parallel to the fixed arm 1202, the foldable arm 12 is unfolded flat and the foldable support frame 10 is unfolded. It becomes a state. When the slider 22 returns to the inside of the main body 21, the free arm 1201 falls and is folded with the fixed arm 1202.

According to a preferred embodiment, the main body 21 is formed by two fixed arm cavities 211, two free arm cavities 212, and one slide cavity 213. The end of the fixed arm 1202 is fixedly mounted within the fixed arm cavity 211, and the rotating rod 121 penetrates the fixed arm cavity 211. The end of the free arm 1201 is movably installed in the free arm cavity 212, surrounds the rotary rod 121, and is rotatably connected. Accordingly, the rotating rod 121 may penetrate the fixed arm cavity 211 and the free arm cavity 212. This means that both ends of the free arm 1201 and both ends of the fixed arm 1202 surround the rotating rod 121. The fixed arm 1202 and the fixed arm cavity 211 of the main body 21 remain stationary, and the free arm 1201 rotates in the free arm cavity 212 of the main body 21. . The slider 22 may be movably installed in the slide cavity 213 so that it can be moved, or may be removed from the slide cavity 213 by being pushed by the elastic member 23.
