Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sanitary ware, and particularly to a barrier-free washbasin for the elderly. Background Art
[0002] In the existing technology, when the elderly use the washbasin to brush their teeth and wash their faces, they need to stand for a long time. For the elderly with poor legs and feet, standing for a long time to brush their teeth and wash their faces will cause additional burden to the users. In severe cases, it may even cause the users to stand for a long time and lead to leg weakness and falling. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: to provide a barrier-free washbasin for the elderly to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.
[0004] The solution of the present invention to solve its technical problem is:
[0005] A barrier-free washbasin for the elderly, comprising a washbasin body, a seat and a connecting member. The seat and the washbasin body are connected by the connecting member. The upper end of the connecting member is slidably connected to the washbasin body, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the seat. The connecting member slides back and forth. A height-reducing opening is formed on the front side of the washbasin body. A plurality of folding pieces are connected to the front side of the washbasin body. The folding pieces and the washbasin body enclose a washing space. The folding piece includes a surrounding portion and a connecting portion. There are two connecting portions, and the two connecting portions are respectively arranged at opposite ends of the surrounding portion. The connecting portion is fixedly connected to the surrounding portion, and the connecting portion is slidably connected or hinged to the washbasin body. The surrounding portions of the plurality of folding pieces all slide in the height-reducing opening, and the surrounding portions of the plurality of folding pieces slide to adjust the size of the washing space.
[0006] Through the above solution, for the elderly with poor leg conditions, the seat can provide a support so that the elderly can sit on the seat to wash. When the elderly wash while sitting, the plurality of surrounding portions can move downward, so that the height of the outermost edge of the folding washbasin closest to the user is reduced, so that the height is suitable for the elderly sitting, and the burden on the legs and feet of the elderly during washing is reduced.
[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the connecting portions of the plurality of folding pieces are all hinged to the washbasin body, and the connecting portions of the plurality of folding pieces all rotate around the same rotation axis.
[0008] Through the above solution, the plurality of folding pieces can adapt to users of different heights, and avoid the situation that the height of a single folding piece after folding is too low, resulting in a decline in the user experience.
[0009] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a faucet is installed at the rear side of the washbasin body, and the water outlet of the faucet faces the washing space.
[0010] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the seat is provided with a cushion surface, and the cushion surface is set as a soft member.
[0011] Through the above solution, the cushion surface of the soft member can make the user more comfortable when sitting.
[0012] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, the connecting member is set as a pneumatic rod.
[0013] Through the above solution, the adjustable setting of the pneumatic rod enables the height of the seat to be adjustable, allowing the user's feet to touch the ground and avoiding discomfort caused by the feet hanging in the air due to the excessive height of the seat.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: For the elderly with poor leg and foot conditions, the seat can provide a support so that the elderly can sit on the seat to wash. When the elderly are sitting and washing, multiple enclosing parts can slide downwards, reducing the height of the outermost edge of the folding washbasin closest to the user, thereby making the height suitable for the sitting elderly to use and reducing the burden on the legs and feet of the elderly during washing.
[0015] The present invention is used in the technical field of sanitary ware. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
