[0029] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used in this disclosure to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish elements of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, the first element may also be referred to as the second element, and similarly, the second element may also be referred to as the first element.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the hip cleaning seat cushion according to the present invention includes a cushion body 200 and a plurality of floating plugs 300.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cushion body 200 is provided with a water cavity 210, a water supply port 210, a drain port 220, and a plurality of water outlet channels 240 that are all communicated with the water cavity 210. The water outlet channels 240 are arranged on the upper surface of the cushion body 200, and the floating plugs 300 are partially movably inserted through the water outlet channels 240, and the floating plugs 300 protrude from the upper surface of the cushion body 200; the floating plugs 300 can close or partially disengage from the water outlet channels 240 to achieve the closing and communication between the water cavity 210 and the outside. When the floating plugs 300 are not under pressure and the water cavity 210 is in a full state, the floating plugs 300 close the water outlet channels 240, and the flowing water in the water cavity 210 flows out from the drain port 230. When the floating plugs 300 are in a pressed state, the floating plugs 300 partially disengage from the inner wall of the water outlet channels 240 to enable the water outlet channels 240 to communicate the water cavity 210 and the outside, and the water flowing out of the water cavity 210 flows out through the water outlet channels 240. At this time, part of the floating plugs 300 protrudes from the upper surface of the cushion body 200.

[0032] When performing body flushing care, first connect the water supply port 210 to an external water pipe to introduce external water source into the water cavity 210. Then place the human body on the upper surface of the cushion body 200. The human body exerts a downward pressure on the floating plug 300, causing the floating plug 300 to move towards the inside of the cushion body 200. When the floating plug 300 disengages from the inner wall of the water outlet channel 240, since part of the floating plug 300 protrudes from the upper surface of the cushion body 200, a certain space is maintained between the human body surface and the upper surface of the cushion body 200, so that the water cavity 210 communicates with the outside world, and the water in the water cavity 210 flows out through the water outlet channel 240 to achieve flushing care for the human body surface. When the human body is not placed on the cushion body 200, that is, when the floating plug 300 is not subjected to external pressure, with the continuous injection of external water source into the water cavity 210, the floating plug 300 moves upward under the action of buoyancy to close the water outlet channel 240. With such a setting, water only flows out from the water outlet channel 240 where the floating plug 300 is pressed, which is beneficial to strengthening the water flow pressure, improving the flushing effect, and saving water resources. The hip cleaning seat cushion of the embodiment of the present invention can achieve automatic flushing of the human body only by connecting to an external water pipe, and can perform separate flushing on multiple parts of the human body such as the back and buttocks. It has a simple structure, is convenient to use, easy to carry, has a wide application range, and a low usage cost, and is especially suitable for home care.

[0033] It can be understood that the water supply port 220 can be arranged on the side or below of the cushion body 200 where the water supply port 210 is arranged, and the drain port 220 can be arranged on the side or below of the cushion body 200. Further, a water pump can be connected between the water supply port 220 and the external water pipe to strengthen the water pressure of the water outlet channel 240, making the flushing effect better.

[0034] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 2 , the floating plug 300 includes an abutting portion 310, the diameter of the abutting portion 310 gradually increases from top to bottom, the maximum diameter of the abutting portion 310 is greater than or equal to the maximum diameter of the water outlet channel 240, and the minimum diameter of the abutting portion 310 is less than the minimum diameter of the water outlet channel 240. Refer to Figure 2 , the abutting portion 310 is arranged on the upper side of the floating plug 300, and the abutting portion 310 is a conical structure that gradually thickens from top to bottom, which is beneficial to preventing the floating plug 300 from falling out of the upper end opening of the water outlet channel 240 and guiding the movement of the floating plug 300. Correspondingly, the water outlet channel 240 can be set to a structure that gradually widens from top to bottom to adapt to the structure of the abutting portion 310, which is beneficial to improving the guiding effect. It can be understood that the top of the abutting portion 310 is arranged as a plane, which is beneficial to improving the comfort of the contact between the human body and the floating plug 300.

[0035] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the water outlet channel 240 includes a first channel section 241 and a second channel section 242, and the first channel section 241 is disposed above the second channel section 242; wherein, when the floating plug 300 is not subjected to a downward pressure and the water cavity 210 is in a full state, the first channel section 241 is separated from the floating plug 300 and the second channel section 242 abuts against the floating plug 300. Refer to Figure 2 , the inner wall of the second channel section 242 is adapted to the surface of the abutting portion 310, and both are structures that gradually widen from top to bottom, so that when the floating plug 300 floats upward, the inner wall of the second channel section 242 fits more closely to the lower surface of the abutting portion 310. Refer to Figure 2 , the first channel section 241 has a structure with a constant diameter from top to bottom. The first channel section 241 is always separated from the abutting portion 310, and there is always a certain space between the first channel section 241 and the abutting portion 310, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of the movement of the floating plug 300.

[0036] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the moving stroke of the floating plug 300 is less than the length difference between the abutting portion 310 and the water outlet channel 240, which is beneficial to keeping the abutting portion 310 protruding from the upper surface of the cushion body 200 whether the floating plug 300 is in the floating state or the downward moving state. It can be understood that when the sum of the lengths of the abutting portion 310 and the water outlet channel 240 is greater than the moving stroke of the floating plug 300, the abutting portion 310 remains partially inserted into the water outlet channel 240, which is beneficial to preventing the floating plug 300 from detaching from the lower end opening of the water outlet channel 240.

[0037] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the floating plug 300 further includes a supporting portion 320. The supporting portion 320 is connected to the lower side of the abutting portion 310, and the diameter of the supporting portion 320 is greater than the maximum diameter of the abutting portion 310. Refer to Figure 2 , the upper end of the supporting portion 320 is connected to the lower end of the abutting portion 310. The supporting portion 320 has a structure similar to a cylinder, and the diameter of the supporting portion 320 is significantly greater than the diameter of the abutting portion 310, so as to increase the contact area between the floating plug 300 and the inner cavity of the cushion body 200, and prevent the floating plug 300 from falling off from the upper end opening of the water outlet channel 240. When a person is placed on the cushion body 200, the floating plug 300 plays a main role in supporting the person. By providing the supporting portion 320, the rigidity of the floating plug 300 is effectively improved. It can be understood that the upper edge and the lower edge of the supporting portion 320 can be provided with arcs.

[0038] It should be noted that the floating plug 300 can also be composed of a first cylinder and a second cylinder. The diameter of the water outlet channel 240 is larger than the diameter of the first cylinder and smaller than the diameter of the second cylinder. The first cylinder is movably inserted into the water outlet channel 240 and partially protrudes from the upper surface of the gasket 200. The second cylinder is arranged in the water chamber 210 and below the water outlet channel 240. Correspondingly, the water outlet channel 240 can also be formed by a cylindrical structure. The above embodiments are only for illustrative purposes and are not specifically limited.

[0039] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the gasket 200 of the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to multiple parts of the human body, such as the back and buttocks, for flushing and nursing. Refer to Figures 3 to 5 , the upper surface of the gasket 200 can be set as a flat structure, or a number of arc-shaped concave surfaces 251 can be provided on the upper surface of the gasket 200 according to the physiological curvature of the human body, so that the curvature of the upper surface of the gasket 200 is adapted to the physiological curvature of the human body. In an application scenario, the buttock cleaning seat cushion of the embodiments of the present invention is used for buttock flushing and cleaning. Refer to 3, the gasket 200 is a rectangular plate-like structure, and two arc-shaped concave surfaces 251 are provided on the upper surface of the gasket 200. The two arc-shaped concave surfaces 251 are symmetric with each other to form a curvature structure adapted to the human buttocks.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the gasket 200 further includes an elastic sheet 260 for resetting the floating plug 300 upward. The elastic sheet 260 is arranged in the water chamber 210 and below the floating plug 300. The elastic sheet 260 is provided with an arc-shaped curved surface 262 adapted to the arc-shaped concave surface 251. The elastic sheet 260 is provided with a through hole, and the external water source introduced from the water supply port 220 flows into the space between the elastic sheet 260 and the floating plug 300 through the through hole. When the floating plug 300 moves downward under the pressure of the human body, the lower end of the floating plug 300 contacts the elastic sheet 260, and the elastic sheet 260 restricts the floating plug 300 from moving further downward. The upper end of the floating plug 300 remains protruding from the upper surface of the gasket 200. At this time, under the elastic action of the elastic sheet 260, the height of the floating plug 300 will change with the physiological curvature of the human body, which can improve the use comfort. When the human body leaves the gasket 200, the floating plug 300 moves upward under the buoyancy force, and at the same time, part of the floating plug 300 is subjected to the restoring force of the elastic sheet 260 and moves upward. Refer to Figure 4, at the lower position of the arc-shaped surface 262 of the gasket 200, the upper end of the partial floating plug 300 may sink into the water outlet channel 240. When the downward pressure on the elastic piece 260 disappears, the arc-shaped surface 262 of the elastic piece 260 generates an upward reset force and acts on the floating plug 300, which is beneficial to ensuring the reliability of the upward movement and reset of the floating plug 300. Further, the upper surface of the gasket 200 can be provided with an elastic pad surface 250, and a plurality of adjustment grooves 252 are provided below the elastic pad surface 250. The adjustment grooves 252 are arranged between the two floating plugs 300, so as to improve the sealing performance of the floating plug 300 to the water outlet channel 240 and the smoothness of the up and down movement of the floating plug 300.

[0041] It can be understood that the gasket 200 includes a base 270 and an elastic pad surface 250. The base 270 and the elastic pad surface 250 can be set as an integral structure, and the base 270 and the elastic pad surface 250 are detachably and sealedly connected. By adopting the detachable connection method, it is convenient to disassemble and clean the floating plug 300 and the inner cavity of the gasket 200. Further, the base 270 and the elastic pad surface 250 can be sealedly connected through a sealing groove and a sealing ring.

[0042] As mentioned above, it is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation manners. As long as it achieves the technical effects of the present invention by the same means, any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. It shall all belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. Within the scope of protection of the present invention, its technical solutions and / or implementation manners can have various different modifications and changes.
