Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sitting defecation in sanitary ware, and particularly relates to a toilet defecation aid. Background Art

[0002] With the progress of society, toilets have gradually entered households in cities and towns. This progress has also brought some discomfort in defecation.

[0003] The physiological structure of the human body determines that the larger the anorectal angle formed by the rectum and the anal canal, the smoother the defecation. When defecating in a sitting position, the spine and thigh are basically perpendicular, and the anorectal angle is about 80° to 90°; when defecating in a squatting position, the angle between the spine and thigh decreases, and the anorectal angle can reach 100° to 110°.

[0004] Studies have shown that when the thigh is at an angle of 35 degrees (or so) to the spine, the puborectalis muscle is most relaxed, the anus is open, and the rectum and anal canal are close to forming a straight line. The anorectal angle almost reaches 180°, making defecation the smoothest and easiest.

[0005] In order to achieve the best defecation effect in a toilet, the angle between the thigh and the spine is usually adjusted by lifting the legs on a small stool to achieve a squatting defecation posture.

[0006] However, the height of each person in a family is different, and the height of the stool required to achieve the best squatting defecation posture is different. However, the height of an ordinary stool cannot be adjusted, so it cannot meet the needs of all family members. At the same time, when standing up on the stool, there is a risk of the stool tipping over and falling. Summary of the invention

[0050] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0051] Embodiment 1:

[0052] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a toilet aid comprises two support columns 1 extending vertically upward, the upper ends of the two support columns 1 are vertically fixedly provided with support handrails 2, and the front ends of the two support handrails 2 are vertically fixedly provided with support uprights 3 downward; the bottom end surface of the support uprights 3 is flush with the bottom end surface of the support columns 1; wherein the setting of the support handrails 2 is mainly for the elderly group, so as to solve the trouble of the elderly's "standing up and falling down" action, and make it convenient for the elderly to go to the toilet;

[0053] A support bottom plate 4 is vertically fixedly arranged at the lower part between the two support vertical plates 3, and electric push rods 5 are arranged at the upper parts of both ends of the support bottom plate 4;

[0054] The end of the electric push rod 5 is connected upward to an adjustment component for adjusting the angle between the center line of the thigh and the vertical direction.

[0055] Preferably, a supporting cross bar 6 is vertically fixed between the tops of the two supporting columns 1 .

[0056] Preferably, the adjustment assembly is a pedal assembly for supporting the foot.

[0057] Preferably, the pedal assembly includes a foot pedal 7, and upwardly extending columns 8 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the upper part of the foot pedal 7, and a transverse connecting rod 9 extending toward the direction of the electric push rod 5 on the corresponding side is vertically fixed at the top of the column 8; the bottom end of the transverse connecting rod 9 is connected to the push rod end of the electric push rod 5 on the corresponding side.

[0058] Preferably, a sleeve 91 extending downward is provided at the bottom of the transverse connecting rod 9, and the push rod of the electric push rod 5 is upwardly inserted into the sleeve 91 of the corresponding transverse connecting rod 9. The connection between the push rod end of the electric push rod 5 and the pedal assembly is realized through the sleeve 91, so that the pedal assembly can be detachably connected and the installation is simple.

[0059] Preferably, rollers 71 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the footrest 7, and the support upright plate 3 is provided with roller grooves 31 extending in the vertical direction and cooperating with the corresponding rollers 71. The arrangement of the rollers 71 and the roller grooves 31 can ensure the linear movement of the footrest 7 in the vertical direction.

[0060] When the toilet aid in Example 1 is used, the two support columns 1 and the two support plates 3 are evenly arranged on both sides of the toilet 0, and the bottom end surfaces of the support columns 1 and the support plates 3 are in contact with the ground. At this time, the pedal assembly is located at the front side of the toilet 0, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 When a person sits on the toilet, he places his feet on the footrest 7, with his back close to the support crossbar 6, and starts the electric push rod 5 to raise the footrest 7, thereby reducing the angle between the thigh and the spine. Figure 4 As shown; when the angle between the thigh and the spine reaches a better angle that is conducive to defecation (for example, 35°), the electric push rod 5 stops extending. Therefore, the toilet aid in Example 1 of the present application can adjust the angle between the thigh and the spine by setting the electric push rod 5 and the pedal assembly, and by adjusting the height of the foot pedal 7, so as to achieve the best 35° angle that is conducive to defecation, and can be suitable for people of different heights; at the same time, the connection relationship between the pedal assembly and the electric push rod 5 prevents the foot pedal 7 from tilting.

[0061] Embodiment 2:

[0062] Different from Example 1, the adjustment component is a lifting component for lifting the thigh.

[0063] Preferably, Figure 5-6 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a lifting rod 10, and lifting sleeves 101 extending downward are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the bottom of the lifting rod 10, and the push rod of the electric push rod 5 is inserted upward into the corresponding lifting sleeves 101. The connection between the push rod end of the electric push rod 5 and the lifting assembly is realized through the lifting sleeve 101, realizing the detachable connection of the lifting assembly and easy installation.

[0064] The remaining technical features are the same as those in Example 1.

[0065] When the toilet aid in Example 2 is used, the two support columns 1 and the two support plates 3 are evenly arranged on both sides of the toilet 0, and the bottom end surfaces of the support columns 1 and the support plates 3 are in contact with the ground. At this time, the lifting assembly is located at the front side of the toilet 0, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 When a person sits on the toilet, the lifting rod 10 is located under the legs, the back is close to the support cross bar 6, and the electric push rod 5 is started to make the lifting rod 10 rise to cause the thigh to tilt, so that the angle between the thigh and the spine becomes smaller, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown; when the angle between the thigh and the spine reaches a better angle that is conducive to defecation (for example, 35°), the electric push rod 5 stops extending. Therefore, the toilet aid in Example 2 of the present application can achieve the best 35° angle that is conducive to defecation by setting the electric push rod 5 and the lifting assembly and adjusting the height of the lifting rod 10 to adjust the angle between the thigh and the spine, and can be suitable for people of different heights.

[0066] Embodiment 3:

[0067] On the basis of embodiment 1, an auxiliary lifting rod 11 is provided on the upper part of the pedal assembly;

[0068] like Figure 9-10 As shown, a threaded sleeve 111 is vertically fixedly disposed at one end of the auxiliary lifting rod 11, and a limiting sliding cylinder 112 is vertically fixedly disposed at the other end of the auxiliary lifting rod 11;

[0069] An upwardly extending adjusting stud 92 is disposed at the top of one end of the transverse connecting rod 9, and the bottom end of the adjusting stud 92 is rotatably connected to the transverse connecting rod 9; an upwardly extending limiting sliding column 93 is disposed at the top of the other end of the transverse connecting rod 9;

[0070] The adjusting screw 92 is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 111 , and the limiting sliding column 93 is slidably connected to the limiting sliding cylinder 112 .

[0071] With the threaded cooperation between the adjusting stud 92 and the threaded sleeve 111, and the sliding and limiting cooperation between the limiting sliding column 93 and the limiting sliding cylinder 112, when the adjusting stud 92 is rotated, the auxiliary lifting rod 11 can achieve up and down linear motion, thereby adjusting the height between the auxiliary lifting rod 11 and the foot pedal 7 to meet the needs of people of different heights.

[0072] Preferably, an adjustment handle 921 is provided at the lower end of the adjustment stud 92 .

[0073] When the toilet aid in Example 3 is used, the two support columns 1 and the two support plates 3 are evenly arranged on both sides of the toilet 0, and the bottom end surfaces of the support columns 1 and the support plates 3 are in contact with the ground. At this time, the pedal assembly and the auxiliary lifting rod 11 are both located at the front side of the toilet 0. Fig.11When a person sits on the toilet, he places his feet on the footrest 7, with his back close to the support crossbar 6, and then rotates the adjustment stud 92 to adjust the height of the auxiliary lifting rod 11, so that when the auxiliary lifting rod 11 touches the bottom of the thigh, the feet can just be placed on the footrest 7;

[0074] The electric push rod 5 is started to make the auxiliary lifting rod 11 and the foot pedal 7 rise simultaneously to cause the thigh to tilt, so that the angle between the thigh and the spine becomes smaller, such as Fig.12 When the angle between the thigh and the spine reaches a better angle conducive to defecation (e.g., 35°), the electric push rod 5 stops extending. During the ascending process of the auxiliary lifting rod 11, the foot pedal 7 rises synchronously and always supports the user's feet, thereby improving the comfort of the lifting process.

[0075] Therefore, the toilet aid in Example 3 of the present application is arranged in combination with the electric push rod 5, the pedal assembly, and the auxiliary lifting rod. The electric push rod 5 is used to achieve synchronous adjustment of the height of the foot pedal 7 and the auxiliary lifting rod 11, and the angle between the thigh and the spine is adjusted to achieve the optimal 35° angle that helps defecation, which can be suitable for people of different heights; at the same time, the height between the auxiliary lifting rod 11 and the foot pedal 7 can also be adjusted to meet the needs of people of different heights.

[0076] Embodiment 4:

[0077] On the basis of Example 1 or Example 2 or Example 3, a support reinforcing rod 12 is arranged between the lower parts of the support column 1 and the support plate 3 located on the same side; an intermediate reinforcing rod 14 is arranged between the support column 1 and the support plate 3 located on the same side at a position close to the height of the toilet seat; the arrangement of the support reinforcing rod 12 and the intermediate reinforcing rod 14 is used to enhance the strength of the overall frame of the toilet aid of the present application to prevent it from falling apart;

[0078] A marking line 13 is provided between the support handrail rod 2 and the middle reinforcing rod 14 on the same side, and the marking line 13 forms an angle of 55° with the horizontal plane.

[0079] Since research shows that when the angle between the spine and the thigh is about 35°, the anorectal angle can reach the maximum, which is conducive to defecation. Therefore, in this application, by setting a marking line 13 at an angle of 55° to the horizontal plane, an angle reference is provided for the user when adjusting the thigh angle. When the center line of the thigh is parallel to the marking line 13, it means that the angle between the thigh and the spine has reached the best angle of 35° that is conducive to defecation.

[0080] Although the above describes the specific implementation mode of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not a limitation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention without creative work are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
