[0002] The existing toilets have relatively simple functions. As a special group, the elderly have insufficient waist strength and find it difficult to sit up, so they need assistance to sit up.

[0003] Patent publication number CN110805107B discloses an elderly-assisted toilet, including a base, a protective cover, a toilet lid and a U-shaped backrest. The top of the base is connected to a lifting plate through a lifting device, and the outer cover of the lifting plate is provided with a protective cover. One end of the protective cover is rotatably connected to the lifting plate through a rotating shaft. The lifting plate is equipped with a tilting device for tilting the protective cover. A driving device for driving the lifting device and the tilting device is installed in the lifting plate. The top of the protective cover is rotatably connected to the toilet lid. A U-shaped backrest is fixed to one end of the base, and a controller and an infrared sensor are embedded in the U-shaped backrest. The lifting device includes a mounting seat, a screw rod, a connecting plate, a support rod and a first driven bevel gear. Three mounting seats are fixed on both sides of the top of the base.

[0004] The aforementioned elderly-assist toilet utilizes a red-hot sensor to control a servo motor that drives the threaded rod and the screw, thereby tilting the protective cover and toilet lid to the appropriate position and adjusting the rise and fall of the lift plate, assisting the elderly in sitting and standing. While these toilets require a servo motor as a power source, which is relatively expensive, the present invention provides a toilet that is user-friendly for the elderly without requiring an electric drive. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the disadvantages of the above-mentioned toilet requiring a servo motor to provide a power source and being relatively costly, the present invention provides a toilet that does not require an electric drive and is convenient for use by the elderly.

[0006] The utility model relates to a toilet convenient for use by the elderly, comprising a toilet, a slow-sitting mechanism and a rising-assisting mechanism. The slow-sitting mechanism for the elderly to slowly sit down is provided in the middle of the toilet, and the rising-assisting mechanism for assisting the elderly to stand up is provided in the middle of the toilet.

[0007] Furthermore, the slow-sitting mechanism includes a seat plate, a first rack, a first gear, a first pressure spring, a telescopic rod and a first support frame. The first support frames are connected to the left and right sides of the toilet, the inner sides of the first support frames are slidably connected to the first racks, the tops of the first racks are connected to the seat plates, the seat plates are respectively located on the left and right sides above the squat toilet opening, the middle of the upper part of the first support frame is rotatably connected to the first gear, the first gears are meshed with the adjacent first racks, the bottom ends of the first racks are connected to the telescopic rods between the toilet, the upper parts of the telescopic rods are wound with first pressure springs, and the two ends of the first pressure springs are respectively connected to the first rack and the telescopic rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting assistance mechanism includes a foot pedal, a second gear, a rotating rod, a lifting block and a first torsion spring. The left and right sides of the toilet are rotatably connected to the foot pedal, the second gear and the rotating rod. The rear part of the foot pedal is connected to a full gear. The inner and outer sides of the second gear are respectively engaged with the full gear of the foot pedal and the internal teeth of the rotating rod. The top of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the lifting block. When the rotating rod drives the lifting block to swing backward and upward, it contacts the bottom of the seat plate. At least one first torsion spring is connected between the lifting block and the rotating rod.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a supporting mechanism, which includes a second rack, an armrest and a guide rod. The outer side of the first supporting frame is slidably connected to the second rack, the top of the second rack is connected to the armrest, the back side of the armrest is connected to the guide rod, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the toilet.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a support mechanism, which includes a barrier rod, a third torsion spring and a first support rod. The first support rods are connected to the left and right sides of the front of the toilet. The upper part of the first support rod is rotatably connected to the barrier rod, and the third torsion spring is wound around the upper part of the barrier rod. The two ends of the third torsion spring are respectively connected to the barrier rod and the first support rod, and the bottom of the foot pedal is in contact with the rear part of the barrier rod on the same side.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a massage mechanism, which includes a pull rod, a second support rod and a second pressure spring. The second support rods are connected to the left and right sides of the toilet. The upper part of the second support rod is slidably connected to the pull rod. Several second pressure springs are connected between the pull rod and the second support rod. Several knocking balls are evenly connected from top to bottom on the side close to the pull rod, and the knocking balls are located directly above the foot pedal.

[0013] Furthermore, the lifting assist mechanism also includes a second torsion spring, the pedal rod is wound with a second torsion spring, and both ends of the second torsion spring are connected to the pedal rod and the toilet respectively.

[0014] Beneficial effects: 1. When the elderly sit down, the seat board slowly lowers their body to support them, preventing them from being accidentally injured due to insufficient waist strength. The power source is provided by the elderly's own gravity, without the need for electric drive, which is more energy-efficient and has a lower toilet cost.

[0015] 2. The lifting block provides an upward force to the seat plate. When the elderly have insufficient back strength, they can use the power of their feet to help them stand up, making it easier for them to stand up safely without the need for electric drive.

[0016] 3. When the elderly sit down, the first gear rotates forward to drive the second rack to slide upward, thereby driving the armrest to slide upward, and then driving the guide rod to slide upward along the toilet, making it convenient for the elderly to support their hands on the armrests when using the toilet, increasing their stability when sitting down.

[0017] 4. When the footrest swings downward, the footrest drives the rear part of the barrier rod to swing downward, and the third torsion spring deforms, so that the front part of the barrier rod swings upward to press against the instep of the elderly, thereby supporting the legs when standing up and preventing insufficient strength to stand up.

[0018] 5. Move the ball inward to hit your legs to massage your legs and prevent numbness in your legs that makes it difficult to get up.

[0019] 6. By shaking the metal shell, the metal ball will shake and hit the metal shell to make a ringing sound, so as to promptly alert family members to come and help the elderly get up. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example 1

[0033] A toilet that is convenient for the elderly to use, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a toilet 1, a slow-sitting mechanism 2 and an assisting mechanism 3. The slow-sitting mechanism 2 is arranged in the middle of the toilet 1, and is used for the elderly to sit down slowly. The assisting mechanism 3 is arranged in the middle of the toilet 1, and is used to assist the elderly to stand up.

[0034] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the slow-sitting mechanism 2 includes a seat plate 21, a first rack 22, a first gear 23, a first pressure spring 24, a telescopic rod 25 and a first support frame 26. The first support frames 26 are respectively connected to the left and right sides of the toilet 1. The first racks 22 are slidably connected to the inner side of the first support frame 26. The seat plates 21 are connected to the top of the first rack 22. The seat plates 21 are respectively located on the left and right sides above the squatting opening of the toilet 1. The first gears 23 are rotatably connected to the middle of the upper part of the first support frame 26. The first gears 23 are meshed with the adjacent first racks 22. The telescopic rod 25 is connected between the bottom end of the first rack 22 and the toilet 1. The first pressure springs 24 are wound around the upper part of the telescopic rod 25. The two ends of the first pressure spring 24 are respectively connected to the first rack 22 and the telescopic rod 25.

[0035] like Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a foot rod 31, a second gear 32, a rotating rod 33, a lifting block 34, a first torsion spring 35 and a second torsion spring 36. The left and right sides of the toilet 1 are rotatably connected to the foot rod 31, the left and right sides of the toilet 1 are rotatably connected to the second gear 32, the left and right sides of the toilet 1 are rotatably connected to the rotating rod 33, the lower part of the rotating rod 33 is engraved with an inner tooth pattern, the rear of the foot rod 31 is connected to a full gear, and the inner side of the second gear 32 is connected to the The full gears of the foot pedal 31 are meshed, and the outer sides of the second gears 32 are meshed with the inner teeth of the rotating rod 33. The lifting blocks 34 are rotatably connected to the top of the rotating rod 33. When the rotating rod 33 drives the lifting blocks 34 to swing backward and upward, they contact the bottom of the seat plate 21. At least one first torsion spring 35 is connected between the lifting blocks 34 and the rotating rod 33. The second torsion springs 36 are wound around the foot pedal 31, and the two ends of the second torsion springs 36 are respectively connected to the foot pedal 31 and the toilet 1.

[0036] This is a toilet 1 that is convenient for the elderly to use. When the elderly need to use the toilet, they sit on the seat plate 21, which drives the first rack 22 to slide downward, the first pressure spring 24 and the telescopic rod 25 contract, and the first rack 22 drives the first gear 23 to rotate slowly, so that the seat plate 21 descends slowly, and the seat plate 21 moves downward until it contacts the lifting block 34. When the elderly stand up, the first pressure spring 24 and the telescopic rod 25 slowly reset and drive the first rack 22 to slide upward, thereby driving the seat plate 21 to move upward and reset, and the first rack 22 drives the first gear 23 to slowly reverse. At the same time, the elderly can step on the foot pedal 31, so that the foot pedal 31 swings downward, and the foot pedal 31 drives the second gear 32 to rotate through the full gear, thereby driving the rotating rod 33 to swing backward and upward through the inner tooth pattern of the rotating rod 33, thereby driving The lifting block 34 supports the seat plate 21 upward. In the process of supporting the seat plate 21 upward, the lifting block 34 will adaptively rotate, and the first torsion spring 35 will adaptively deform. When the foot releases the foot pedal 31, the second torsion spring 36 resets and drives the foot pedal 31 to swing upward. The foot pedal 31 drives the second gear 32 to reverse through the full gear, thereby driving the rotating rod 33 to swing forward and downward through the internal teeth of the rotating rod 33, and then drives the lifting block 34 away from the seat plate 21. The first torsion spring 35 drives the lifting block 34 to reset. In summary, when the elderly sit down, the seat plate 21 is used to slowly lower their body and support it to prevent the elderly from being accidentally injured due to insufficient waist strength. The lifting block 34 is used to give the seat plate 21 an upward force, and when the elderly's waist and back strength is insufficient, the foot strength is used to assist in getting up, so that the elderly can get up safely. Example 2

[0037] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a support mechanism 4, which includes a second rack 41, an armrest 42 and a guide rod 43. The second rack 41 is slidably connected to the outside of the first support frame 26, the armrest 42 is connected to the top of the second rack 41, and the guide rod 43 is connected to the rear side of the armrest 42. The guide rod 43 is slidably connected to the toilet 1.

[0038] When the elderly person sits down, the first gear 23 rotates forward to drive the second rack 41 to slide upward, thereby driving the armrest 42 to slide upward, and then driving the guide rod 43 to slide upward along the toilet 1, so that the elderly person can support his hands on the armrest 42 when using the toilet, increasing his stability when sitting. When the elderly person is ready to get up, he presses down the armrest 42 with both hands, and the armrest 42 drives the second rack 41 to slide downward, so that the second rack 41 drives the first rack 22 to slide upward through the first gear 23, thereby assisting the seat plate 21 to move upward, and further achieving the effect of assisting getting up through the power of the hands.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 8As shown, it also includes a support mechanism 5, which includes a baffle 51, a third torsion spring 52 and a first support rod 53. The first support rod 53 is respectively connected to the left and right sides of the front of the toilet 1, and the baffles 51 are rotatably connected to the upper part of the first support rod 53. The third torsion springs 52 are all wound around the upper part of the baffle 51. The two ends of the third torsion spring 52 are respectively connected to the baffle 51 and the first support rod 53, and the bottom of the foot pedal 31 is in contact with the rear part of the baffle 51 on the same side.

[0040] When the footrest rod 31 swings downward, the footrest rod 31 drives the rear part of the barrier rod 51 to swing downward, and the third torsion spring 52 is deformed, so that the front part of the barrier rod 51 swings upward and presses against the front and lower part of the elderly person's calf. By supporting the legs when getting up, the elderly person has a force point to get up, preventing insufficient strength to get up. When the footrest rod 31 swings upward and resets under the action of the second torsion spring 36, the third torsion spring 52 resets and drives the barrier rod 51 to swing in the opposite direction and reset.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, a massage mechanism 6 is also included, and the massage mechanism 6 includes a pull rod 61, a second support rod 62 and a second pressure spring 63. The second support rod 62 is respectively connected to the left and right sides of the toilet 1, and the pull rod 61 is slidably connected to the upper part of the second support rod 62. Several second pressure springs 63 are connected between the pull rod 61 and the second support rod 62, and several knocking balls are evenly connected from top to bottom on the side close to the pull rod 61, and the knocking balls are located directly above the foot pedal 31.

[0042] When the elderly are using the toilet, they can push the pull rod 61 outward, the second pressure spring 63 is deformed, and the pull rod 61 drives the knocking ball to move outward. Then, the pull rod 61 is released, and the second support rod 62 is reset to drive the pull rod 61 to move inward, thereby driving the knocking ball to move inward and knock on the legs, which has the effect of massaging the legs and preventing leg numbness and difficulty in getting up.

[0043] like Figure 1 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, an alarm mechanism 7 is also included, which includes a second support frame 71, a metal shell 72 and a metal ball 73. The second support frame 71 is connected to the back side of the toilet 1, the metal shell 72 is connected to the second support frame 71 through a pull rope, and the metal ball 73 is connected to the metal shell 72 through a pull rope.

[0044] When the elderly person is still unable to get up, he or she can shake the metal shell 72, causing the metal ball 73 to shake and hit the metal shell 72 to emit a ringing sound, thereby promptly alerting family members to come and help the elderly person get up.

[0045] It should be understood that the above description is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that variations of the present invention will fall within the scope of the claims herein.
