Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a shower seat. Background Art

[0002] Due to the deterioration of physiological functions, the coordination of various parts of the body is reduced, making bathing very difficult for the elderly. During the bathing process, they often have blurred vision and decreased balance, which leads to unstable standing, and are prone to safety accidents such as slips and bumps, which cause physical damage and psychological trauma to the elderly. Data shows that falls are the number one cause of accidental casualties among people over 65 years old. About 40 million elderly people in my country fall and slip every year, with the bathroom space being the most frequent area, and slips in the bathroom accounting for about 50%.

[0003] Based on my country's current national conditions, the proportion of middle-aged and elderly people in old urban areas and rural areas is high. The facilities and equipment in residential areas cannot keep up with the development of the times. The bathroom space is small, and there are toilets without dry and wet areas. At present, there are some shower seats on the market that are difficult to install, inconvenient to disassemble, and cannot be adjusted. Floor-standing seats are in danger of slipping and overturning. Summary of the invention

[0004] In summary, in order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a shower seat.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a shower seat, comprising a seat mechanism, a connecting mechanism for fixing to a wall and an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the position of the seat mechanism, the adjusting mechanism comprising a mounting member, a sliding member and a positioning assembly, the sliding member is sleeved outside the mounting member, the front end of the sliding member is connected to the seat mechanism, the rear end of the sliding member is provided with an opening for avoiding the connecting mechanism, a plurality of positioning holes are provided on one side of the mounting member, and the positioning assembly comprises a positioning member adapted to the positioning hole and an elastic member provided between the sliding member and the positioning member.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting piece is first connected to the wall through a connecting mechanism, the seat mechanism is connected to the sliding piece, and then the sliding piece is sleeved on the outside of the mounting piece. The position of the sliding piece can be changed by the adjusting mechanism, thereby changing the height of the seat mechanism. The assembly is convenient, and the stability is strong through the cooperation of the positioning hole and the positioning piece. By arranging an elastic piece between the sliding piece and the positioning piece, the operation is simple and more labor-saving and convenient.

[0007] The present invention is further provided that: a sliding groove for sliding the sliding member is arranged on the side of the mounting member corresponding to the positioning hole, the sliding member includes a sliding part sliding along the sliding groove, the positioning hole is arranged in the sliding groove, a positioning channel adapted to the positioning member is arranged on the sliding part, and the positioning member passes through the positioning channel and abuts against the positioning hole.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding part slides up and down along the mounting part, and at the same time, the sliding part slides up and down along the sliding groove on the side, thereby enhancing the stability of sliding and increasing the contact surface between the two, thereby enhancing the friction of positioning and fixing the two. At the same time, the positioning part passes through the positioning channel and abuts against the positioning hole, thereby further enhancing the stability of the positioning assembly.

[0009] The present invention is further provided that: a receiving cavity for receiving an elastic member is provided at a position of the sliding portion corresponding to the positioning channel, a connecting portion connected to the elastic member is provided on the positioning member, the connecting portion is arranged at a position within the receiving cavity, one end of the elastic member is connected to the connecting portion, and the other end is abutted against an end of the receiving cavity.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, one end of the elastic member is connected to the connecting part. When the positioning member is pulled outward to disengage from the positioning hole, one end of the elastic member moves with the positioning member, and the other end of the elastic member abuts against the cavity wall of the other end of the accommodating cavity opposite to the mounting member. The elastic member is squeezed to generate elastic force. When the sliding member slides to a suitable position, the positioning member is released, and the elastic member drives the positioning member to automatically reset for positioning. The elastic member is located in the accommodating cavity. First, it is easy to install, and second, it is not easy to fall off and has high stability.

[0011] The present invention further provides that: the positioning hole includes a positioning portion and an inclined sliding portion, and the inclined sliding portion is inclined from the upper end to the lower end toward the sliding portion.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the sliding part slides upward, it drives the positioning part to automatically squeeze upward and outward along the inclined sliding part, and there is no need for manpower to keep pulling the positioning part outward. When the sliding part reaches the specified position, the sliding part is released, and the elastic part resets and pushes the positioning part to slide down along the inclined sliding part of the positioning hole to the positioning part for positioning, making the operation simpler and more labor-saving.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, since the sliding part is sleeved outside the mounting part and needs to slide to adjust the position, a cushion is provided to avoid direct friction between the sliding part and the mounting part, thereby reducing the wear of both. The cushion includes a first protective part and a second protective part, which protect the sliding part and the sliding part at the same time and prevent wear at the connection between the two, thereby increasing the structural stability. The accommodating groove is provided to make the installation of the cushion more stable and not easy to fall off.

[0015] The present invention further provides that: a wave-shaped friction portion is provided on one side of the second protection portion corresponding to the mounting member.

[0017] The present invention further provides that: the second protection portion is divided into a plurality of friction areas corresponding to one side of the sliding member, and each friction area is provided with a recess.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a recess, the second protective part and the sliding part will not rub against each other in the whole area, thus reducing the friction area and the friction force. However, multiple friction areas are set at the same time to make the friction more uniform and maintain a certain friction, so that the stability between the sliding part and the pad is maintained.

[0019] The present invention is further provided that: a mounting groove is provided on a side of the mounting piece corresponding to the seat mechanism, a front plate is provided in the mounting groove, the front plate is inserted in the mounting groove, the mounting piece is hollow, a connecting through hole is provided on a side of the mounting piece corresponding to the connecting mechanism, one end of the connecting mechanism is provided in the mounting piece, and the other end passes through the connecting through hole and extends out of the mounting piece.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting mechanism is first fixed to the wall through the mounting piece, and then the front plate is inserted into the mounting groove so that the inside of the mounting piece is shielded, thereby protecting the connecting mechanism. Finally, the sliding piece is sleeved outside the mounting piece to further enhance safety and stability while being more beautiful. When disassembly is required, the sliding piece is first removed, then the front plate is removed, and then the connecting mechanism is disassembled from the mounting piece. The installation is convenient and simple, and the stability is high.

[0021] The present invention further provides that: cover bodies for fixing the front plate are arranged at both ends of the mounting member, mounting channels are arranged at both sides of the mounting member, and clamping parts adapted to the mounting channels are arranged at both sides of the cover body.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, a cover body is provided to further fix the front plate, and at the same time, it plays a role of protecting and waterproofing the inside of the mounting piece. When the front plate is inserted into the mounting groove, the clamping part of the cover body is inserted into the mounting channels on both sides of the mounting piece to enhance the stability of the connection.

[0023] The present invention further provides that: the cover body at the lower end includes a fixing portion fixedly connected to the mounting portion, and the fixing portion is inserted into the mounting member and fixedly connected to the mounting member by bolts.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover body at the lower end is first inserted into the mounting piece, and then the fixing part is fixed to the mounting piece by bolts from the front end direction of the mounting piece, and then the front plate is inserted into the mounting groove, and then the cover body at the upper end is inserted into the mounting piece to complete the fixation of the front plate, thereby further improving stability and safety.
