[0033] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 6In this embodiment, the telescopic support leg includes an outer cylinder 19, a pillar 20, an adjusting screw 21, a knob 22 and a base 23; the lower end of the seat plate 1 is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 19, and the pillar 20 is slidably connected to the outer cylinder 19. The outer wall of the outer cylinder 19 is penetrated with a screw hole, and the same screw hole is penetrated in the pillar 20. The outer thread of the adjusting screw 21 is adapted to the inner thread of the screw hole and is threadedly connected to the screw hole. The end of the adjusting screw 21 located on the outer side of the outer cylinder 19 is integrally fixedly connected with the knob 22, and the lower end of the pillar 20 is fixedly connected to the base 23. The outer cylinder 19 serves as the main external supporting structure of the telescopic support leg, provides a sliding space for the pillar 20, and cooperates with the adjusting screw 21 through the screw hole thereon to achieve the adjustment of the support leg height. The pillar 20 is the embodiment of the telescopic support leg. The first support 20 is a load-bearing part. By rotating the adjusting screw 21, the No. 1 support 20 is fixed in the No. 1 outer cylinder 19, so as to adjust the height of the shower stool. The knob 22 is used as a tool for the user to operate the adjusting screw 21. The adjusting screw 21 is driven to rotate by rotating the knob 22.

When in use, the care worker first smoothly pulls the No. 1 support 20 out of the No. 1 outer cylinder 19, and then accurately aligns the adjusting screw 21 with the screw hole position on the surface of the No. 1 support 20. Then, by rotating the knob 22, the adjusting screw 21 is gradually screwed into the screw hole of the No. 1 support 20, so that the No. 1 support 20 is firmly locked inside the No. 1 outer cylinder 19.
[0034] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 7In this embodiment, the telescopic support leg includes a No. 2 outer cylinder 24, a No. 2 pillar 25, a fixing nut 26 and a No. 2 base 27; the No. 2 outer cylinder 24 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the seat plate 1, the inner wall of the No. 2 outer cylinder 24 is provided with an internal thread, the outer wall of the No. 2 pillar 25 is provided with an external thread adapted to the internal thread, the No. 2 pillar 25 is threadedly connected to the No. 2 outer cylinder 24, the outer wall of the No. 2 pillar 25 is threadedly connected with a fixing nut 26 and the fixing nut 26 is located at the lower end of the No. 2 outer cylinder 24, and the lower end of the No. 2 pillar 25 is fixedly connected with the No. 2 base 27. The No. 2 outer cylinder 24 serves as the main external structure and load-bearing basis of the telescopic support leg. The No. 2 outer cylinder 24 not only provides a rotation space for the No. 2 pillar 25, but also realizes a threaded connection with the No. 2 pillar 25 through the internal thread provided on its inner wall. This design allows the No. 2 pillar 25 to move up and down in the No. 2 outer cylinder 24, thereby realizing To adjust the height of the shower stool, the No. 2 pillar 25 is the actual load-bearing part of the telescopic legs. The height of the shower stool is adjusted by rotating and lifting. The fixing nut 26 is tightly attached to the bottom of the No. 2 outer tube 24 and is used to lock the height of the No. 2 pillar 25. After adjusting the height of the shower stool, the position of the No. 2 pillar 25 is locked by rotating and tightening the fixing nut 26 to prevent it from accidentally rotating or loosening during use. The No. 2 base 27 serves as the contact point between the shower stool and the ground, providing a stable supporting force to ensure that the shower stool does not slide or tilt during use. When in use, the caregiver can flexibly adjust its position in the No. 2 outer tube 24 by rotating the No. 2 pillar 25 to achieve the function of rising or falling. Once the desired height is reached, the fixing nut 26 is then rotated to firmly lock the No. 2 pillar 25 to ensure that it is stably fixed inside the No. 2 outer tube 24.
[0035] See also Figure 8, in this embodiment, a No. 1 through slot 28 is provided at the front and rear ends of the chair back 2, and two fixed rods 29 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the left and right ends of the No. 1 through slot 28, and a hole matching the outer diameter of the fixed rod 29 is provided in the movable plate 30, and the movable plate 30 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod 29, and the left end of the movable plate 30 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 31, and the left end of the connecting rod 31 passes through the left end of the chair back 2 and is fixedly connected to a handle 32, and the back-rubbing structure includes a No. 2 through slot 33, a rotating support seat 34, a rotating shaft 35 and a back-rubbing roller 36; a No. 2 through slot 33 is provided at the front and rear ends of the movable plate 30, and the upper and lower inner walls of the No. 2 through slot 33 are fixedly connected to the rotating support seat 34, and a rotating shaft 35 is rotatably connected in the rotating support seat 34, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 35 is fixedly connected to the back-rubbing roller 36, and the No. 1 through slot 28 provides space for the installation and movement of the movable plate 30 and the back-rubbing structure, so that the back-rubbing structure can move along the length direction of the chair back 2, and the back-rubbing structure can be moved. When rubbing the back of the elderly, the fixed rod 29 serves as a guide rail for the sliding of the movable plate 30, which is used to support and guide the sliding of the movable plate 30 to ensure the stability of the back-rubbing structure during the movement. The movable plate 30 carries the back-rubbing structure, and its forward and backward movement enables the back-rubbing roller 36 to rub the back at different positions of the elderly's back. The connecting rod 31 and the handle 32 serve as tools for the nursing worker to operate the movable plate 30. The nursing worker drives the movement of the movable plate 30 and the back-rubbing structure by pulling the handle 32, thereby facilitating the back-rubbing of the elderly and improving the convenience of use. The No. 2 through groove 33 provides the necessary space for the installation of the back-rubbing roller 36, and the rotating support seat 34 provides stable support for the rotation of the back-rubbing roller 36. When the rotating shaft 35 rotates in the rotating support seat 34, the back-rubbing roller 36 also rotates accordingly. The back-rubbing roller 36 is the component that actually performs the back-rubbing action. Through the movement of the movable plate 30, the back-rubbing roller 36 rotates on the back of the elderly, thereby realizing the back-rubbing function.
[0036] When the elderly shower, the care worker first pulls the pull ring 18, which causes the locking rod 13 to be released from the No. 1 limiting groove 15, and then slowly unfolds the chair back 2 until a 90-degree angle is formed between the chair back 2 and the seat 1. At this time, the pull ring 18 is released, and the spring 12 immediately exerts its restoring force to push the locking rod 13 to automatically slide into the No. 2 limiting groove 16, thereby firmly locking the position of the chair back 2;
[0037] Next, in order to adapt to the height of the elderly, adjust the height of the telescopic legs to ensure that the seat 1 is in the most suitable position, then pull the footbath 6 out from under the seat 1, and help the elderly to sit on the seat 1 steadily, while guiding the elderly's feet to comfortably put into the footbath 6;
[0038] Finally, pull the handle 32, this action drives the movable plate 30 to move smoothly through the transmission of the connecting rod 31. During the slow movement of the movable plate 30, the back-rubbing roller 36 will rotate softly and effectively against the back of the elderly, bringing a back-rubbing effect to the elderly.
[0039] Through the above steps, the foldable multifunctional shower stool for elderly care allows the chair back 2 to be easily folded and unfolded through the folding and locking structure, which saves space and ensures stability during use. In addition, the telescopic legs can be adjusted according to the heights of different elderly people to ensure comfort and safety in use. The ingenious design of the back rubbing structure allows the elderly to easily enjoy the convenience of back rubbing while showering, greatly improving the comfort during showering, and solving the problem that most existing shower stools only have basic seating functions and cannot be folded.
