EMBODIMENTS

A swimming pool with an adjustable shading angle as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, where the swimming pool includes a swimming pool body 1 and an awning 2, the awning 2 is arranged on the swimming pool body 1; the opening of the swimming pool body 1 faces upward and is provided with a water chamber, the swimming pool body 1 includes a soft side sheet 6 enclosing a wall of the pool and a soft substrate 7 as the bottom of the pool. The advantage of using soft materials is that it saves space when the swimming pool needs to be stored and carried. There are a side water outlet 8 and a bottom water outlet 9 on the pool wall and pool bottom of swimming pool body 1, respectively. When the water needs to be drained/changed, the two water outlets can work at the same time to improve the work efficiency.


The pool opening and the pool bottom of the swimming pool body 1 are both provided with inflatable rings, the inflatable rings are inflatable air bags. In the present embodiment, inflatable rings at the pool opening of the swimming pool body 1 includes a top inflatable ring 3 and a middle inflatable ring 4, and the top inflatable ring 3 and the middle inflatable ring 4 are vertically overlaid. The top inflatable ring 3 and the middle inflatable ring 4 constitute the upper and lower double-layer inflatable structure to support the shape of swimming pool opening. Even if one of the layers leaks, it does not affect the use of the whole swimming pool, increasing the service life of the swimming pool. The bottom inflatable ring 5 can be inflated to open the bottom of the swimming pool, make the bottom of swimming pool more flat, maintain the bottom shape of the swimming pool, so that it is convenient for consumers to use when filling water. The air chambers of the top inflatable ring 3, the middle inflatable ring 4 and the bottom inflatable ring 5 are independent of each other. The outside of each inflatable ring is connected with an air valve 18 that can be used for inflation and deflation. Each inflatable ring is inflated and deflated independently.


The awning 2 includes a piece of tarpaulin 12, a rod and a strap 10, and the piece of tarpaulin 12 is installed above the swimming pool body 1 through the rod. One end of the strap 10 is connected to the piece of tarpaulin 12. Specifically, a tarpaulin side sheet 14 is provided with a through hole for connecting the strap 10. The other end is detachable and connected to the swimming pool body 1. The piece of tarpaulin 12 includes a tarpaulin inner sheet 13 and the tarpaulin side sheet 14, and the tarpaulin inner sheet 13 and the tarpaulin side sheet 14 are sewn together. Further, the tarpaulin inner sheet 13 is provided with a rod sleeve 16, and the rod is disposed in the rod sleeve 16 to keep the tarpaulin inner sheet 13 in an arch shape. The tarpaulin inner sheet 13 is arranged on the swimming pool body 1 through two parallel rods, the rods are located on the opposite sides of the tarpaulin inner sheet 13, and the two ends of the rods are arranged on the swimming pool body 1.


The swimming pool body 1 is provided with a plurality of bases in different positions, the shading angle of the piece of tarpaulin 12 is changed by connecting the strap 10 to different bases. The base includes a strap base 11 and a storage rope base 17; when the strap 10 is connected with the strap base 11, the tarpaulin side sheet 14 is expanded to increase the shading area; when the strap 10 is connected with the storage rope base 17, the tarpaulin side sheet 14 is folded to reduce the shading area. See FIG. 4 for details. It can be seen that the strap base 11 is located between the rod bases 15 of the same rod, and the storage rope base 17 is located between the rod bases 15 of two rods. When the strap 10 is connected to the strap base 11, the tarpaulin side sheet 14 would be expanded to increase the shading angle of the piece of tarpaulin 12. When the strap 10 is connected to the storage rope base 17, the tarpaulin side sheet 14 would be tight along the rod to reduce the shading angle of the piece of tarpaulin 12.


Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are only examples to explain the present invention more clearly, but not the limitation to the embodiments of the present invention. For a person skilled in the art, other changes or alternations in different forms can be made on the basis of the above description. It is not possible to give an exhaustive list of all the embodiments here. All obvious changes or alterations derived from the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
