Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shower devices, and specifically to a sitting shower device and an application system. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living quality and the aggravation of population aging, the market has put forward higher requirements for the functions and applicability of shower devices. To meet the usage needs of special groups, especially the elderly, sitting shower devices have emerged. By setting a seat, they provide a safer and more comfortable showering method for the elderly, disabled, or those with limited mobility, allowing them to enjoy the showering process while sitting and avoiding risks such as slipping that may occur during standing showers. However, existing sitting shower devices still have the following defects in actual use: 1. Space occupation problem: In a limited bathroom space, the seat design of the sitting shower device takes up a relatively large space, which not only affects the layout and usability of other facilities in the bathroom but also makes the overall bathroom appear messy and crowded, reducing the usage experience; 2. Functional limitation problem: Existing sitting shower devices lack back flushing and massage functions. During the showering process, it is difficult for people to clean some blind spots on their backs by themselves. For the elderly, due to the decline in physical flexibility, this problem is more prominent. Long-term inadequate cleaning may cause skin health problems. At the same time, after a busy day, people hope to relieve physical fatigue through showering, but sitting shower devices without massage functions cannot meet this need, cannot relax and soothe the muscles, and cannot provide a more comprehensive comfortable experience; 3. Lack of intelligence problem: Existing sitting shower devices do not have the ability to mine user data, cannot record and analyze users' usage habits, and cannot automatically adjust shower parameters according to users' habits. Each time of use requires manual adjustment by the user, so the operation is cumbersome and cannot provide users with an intelligent and convenient service experience. Summary of the Invention
