Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bathing aids technology, and in particular to a convenient bathing aid specifically for elderly care. Background Technology

[0002] Portable bathing aids specifically designed for elderly care are tools or equipment systems that integrate safety protection, convenient operation, comfortable experience, and hygiene management. Through lightweight, intelligent, and humanized design, they help the elderly complete the bathing process independently or with assistance, while reducing the burden on caregivers and improving the quality of elderly care services.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN211381017U discloses a bathing assistance device for the elderly, including a seat. A hanging rod is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the seat, and the hanging rod is fixed to the outer wall of the seat via a connecting plate. A storage box is fixedly connected to the right outer wall of the seat. Two partitions are fixedly connected inside the storage box, dividing the storage box into three storage slots. A protective cover is L-shaped, and a slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the protective cover. The elderly person's feet step on the anti-slip plate, and several rubber protrusions increase the friction between the elderly person's feet and the anti-slip plate, preventing slipping after bathing and improving safety. Simultaneously, the rubber protective cover protects the elderly person from bumping into the seat and causing injury when handling bath products. The structure is simple, convenient to use, low in cost, and highly applicable. However, in actual use, this solution still has the following shortcomings: When elderly people use the aforementioned bathing aids, if the assistive seat is placed directly under the shower head, the shower head is usually installed in a high position. When the elderly sit on the seat, their limited physical mobility and arm reach make it difficult for them to accurately adjust the angle of the shower head's water flow. This results in the water flow either not being able to completely cover the parts of the body that need cleaning, or the entire assistive seat has a relatively fixed structure and is too large, making it difficult to fold or disassemble quickly and conveniently after use. This not only occupies the already limited space in the bathroom, hindering other bathing activities, but also adds an extra burden to the elderly or caregivers' storage work. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that existing technologies have drawbacks such as the elderly having difficulty adjusting the angle of their seats when placed under the shower head due to the high position of the shower head and their limited mobility, which affects bathing and poses a risk of falls. In addition, the seats have a fixed structure, large size, and are cumbersome to store, taking up space and reducing practicality. Therefore, we propose a convenient bathing aid specifically for elderly care.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a portable bathing aid specifically for elderly care, comprising a mounting shell and a folding stool disposed on the side of the mounting shell. Folding handrails are provided on both sides of the mounting shell, and support rods are rotatably mounted on both sides of the mounting shell. One end of each support rod passes through the side of the mounting shell, and a shower rod is fixedly mounted on the other end. A handheld handle is provided at the end of one of the shower rods. Several nozzles are provided on the outer walls of both shower rods and the handheld handle. A handheld assembly is provided on the outer wall of the handheld handle. A driving assembly for driving the two support rods is provided on the mounting shell, and two sets of locking assemblies corresponding to the support rods are symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame.

[0006] Preferably, the handheld assembly includes an outer tube disposed on the outer wall of the handheld handle, the end of the outer tube away from the handheld handle passing through the side of the mounting housing and having a connector, and a counterweight ball movably fitted on the outer wall of the inner side of the mounting housing.

[0007] Preferably, a plug is fixedly installed at the end of the hand handle, and a slot corresponding to the plug is opened at the end of the shower rod. A magnetic sheet is fixedly installed at the connection between the plug and the slot.

[0008] Preferably, the opposing magnetic poles of the two magnetic sheets are opposite.

[0009] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a servo motor fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting housing. The output end of the servo motor passes through the side of the mounting housing and is fixedly mounted with two drive reels. A connecting reel is fixedly mounted at one end of each of the two support rods located inside the mounting housing. Two guide wheels, each corresponding to one of the two drive reels, are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting housing. A waterproof pull rope is provided on the inner side of the connecting reel. The end of the waterproof pull rope passes through the guide wheel and is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the drive reel corresponding to it.

[0010] Preferably, a protective shell corresponding to the servo motor is fixedly installed on the side of the mounting shell.

[0011] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a slot formed on the side of the mounting housing directly below the support rod. Two guide sleeves are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slot. A positioning rod is slidably installed on the inner wall of the two guide sleeves. A spring is fitted at the bottom end of the positioning rod, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the slot and the positioning rod, respectively. A positioning groove corresponding to the positioning rod is formed on the outer wall of the support rod.

[0012] Preferably, the side of the mounting shell is provided with a communicating groove that communicates with the slot, and the outer wall of the positioning rod is rotatably fitted with a rotating sleeve corresponding to the communicating groove, and an operating rod is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the operating lever passes through the connecting groove and is fixedly mounted with an operating head.

[0014] Preferably, a sealing strip is provided at the side edge of the mounting housing.

[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: In the initial state, the support rod, folding stool, and folding handrail are all vertical, occupying little space and easy to store. After use, when the handrail is reset, the excess part of the outer tube is stored inside the mounting shell under the action of the counterweight ball, avoiding exposure and occupying space. This solves the problem of cumbersome storage and space occupation of traditional chairs, and improves the utilization rate of bathroom space. In this invention, a servo motor drives the support rod to reciprocate, and the spray head can wash the body in all directions. When specific parts need to be washed, the hand handle can be pulled out, and the outer tube moves with it to expand the range. The elderly do not need to adjust the shower head with effort, which not only ensures a thorough wash but also reduces the risk of accidents and improves the convenience of bathing. In this invention, after bathing is completed and the support rod is rotated to a horizontal position, the positioning rod is operated to enter the positioning groove to lock the support rod. The elderly can pull on the shower rod to assist in getting up, avoiding difficulty in getting up. After getting up, the positioning rod is operated to release the lock, and the support rod is rotated back to a vertical position, ensuring the safety of the elderly when getting up and enhancing the practicality of the device.

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of the invention or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this invention.

[0019] Reference Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a convenient bathing aid for elderly care, including a mounting shell 11 and a folding stool 12 disposed on the side of the mounting shell 11. Folding handrails 13 are provided on both sides of the mounting shell 11. Sealing strips 14 are provided at the side edges of the mounting shell 11. Support rods 21 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the mounting shell 11. One end of the support rod 21 passes through the side of the mounting shell 11 and the other end is fixedly mounted with a shower rod 22. A hand handle 23 is provided at the end of one shower rod 22. Several nozzles 24 are provided on the outer walls of both shower rods 22 and the hand handle 23. A hand-held component is provided on the outer wall of the hand handle 23. A driving component for driving the two support rods 21 is provided on the mounting shell 11. Two sets of locking components corresponding to the support rods 21 are symmetrically arranged on the mounting frame.

[0020] When in use, the mounting shell 11 can first be installed in the shower area of ​​the bathroom. The sealing strip 14 on the mounting shell 11 can contact the wall to prevent water from entering the inside of the mounting shell 11. In the initial state, the support rod 21, folding stool 12, and folding handrail 13 are all in a vertical state. The whole appliance occupies little space and is easy to store. When unfolded, the folding stool 12 can be unfolded directly, and the two folding handrails 13 can be rotated to a horizontal state. Elderly people can sit directly on the folding stool 12 when showering, and the folding handrails 13 help the elderly stabilize their bodies. When installing the mounting shell 11, the water pipe of the shower rod 22 needs to be connected to the water source. The working principle of the shower rod 22 and the spray head 24 is a mature existing technology, which will not be described in detail here.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the handheld assembly includes an outer tube 31 disposed on the outer wall of the handheld lever 23. The end of the outer tube 31 away from the handheld lever 23 passes through the side of the mounting housing 11 and is provided with a connector 32. A counterweight ball 33 is movably fitted on the outer wall of the outer tube 31 located inside the mounting housing 11. A plug 34 is fixedly installed at the end of the hand handle 23, and a slot 35 corresponding to the plug 34 is opened at the end of the shower rod 22. A magnetic piece 36 is fixedly installed at the connection between the plug 34 and the slot 35, and the magnetic poles of the two magnetic pieces 36 are opposite.

[0022] When a specific part of the body needs to be rinsed, the elderly can stop the servo motor 41 and pull the hand rod 23 out of the shower rod 22. At this time, the plug 34 can move out of the slot 35, and the two magnetic pieces 36 separate. The elderly can then hold the hand rod 23 and move it to rinse the specific part of the body. During the movement of the hand rod 23, the outer tube 31 can be pulled to move it, ensuring a larger range of movement for the hand rod 23. After the hand rod 23 is used, it can be reset, and the plug 34 can be inserted into the slot 35. Under the attraction of the two magnetic pieces 36, the hand rod 23 can be fixed. Under the action of the counterweight ball 33, the excess part of the outer tube 31 can be stored inside the mounting shell 11 to avoid exposure and space occupation.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive assembly includes a servo motor 41 fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting housing 11. The output end of the servo motor 41 passes through the side of the mounting housing 11 and is fixedly mounted with two drive reels 42. One end of each of the two support rods 21 located inside the mounting housing 11 is fixedly mounted with a connecting reel 43. Two guide wheels 44 corresponding to the two drive reels 42 are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting housing 11. A waterproof pull rope 45 is provided on the inner side of the connecting reel 43. The end of the waterproof pull rope 45 passes through the guide wheel 44 and is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the drive reel 42 corresponding to it. A protective shell 46 corresponding to the servo motor 41 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting housing 11.

[0024] When bathing, the elderly can turn on the servo motor 41. When the servo motor 41 is turned on, it drives two drive reels 42 to rotate. When the drive reels 42 rotate, they can wind up and unwind the waterproof pull rope 45. During the winding and unwinding process of the waterproof pull rope 45, the guide wheel 44 drives the connecting reel 43, thereby causing the connecting reel 43 to rotate. When the connecting reel 43 rotates, it drives the support rod 21, the shower rod 22, and the hand handle 23 to rotate. Under the action of the servo motor 41, the support rod 21 is driven to rotate back and forth, and the rotation angle is 90 degrees at a time. This allows the support rod 21 and the shower rod 22 to rotate from a vertical state to a horizontal state and then back. During the entire back and forth rotation process, the nozzles 24 on the shower rod 22 and the hand handle 23 can spray water to give the elderly a comprehensive wash, ensuring a larger and more convenient shower area.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the locking assembly includes a slot 51 located on the side of the mounting housing 11 directly below the support rod 21. Two guide sleeves 52 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slot 51. A positioning rod 53 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the two guide sleeves 52. A spring 54 is fitted at the bottom end of the positioning rod 53, and the two ends of the spring 54 are fixedly connected to the slot 51 and the positioning rod 53, respectively. A positioning groove 55 corresponding to the positioning rod 53 is opened on the outer wall of the support rod 21. A connecting groove 56 communicating with the slot 51 is opened on the side of the mounting housing 11. A rotating sleeve 57 corresponding to the connecting groove 56 is rotatably fitted on the outer wall of the positioning rod 53. An operating rod 58 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 57. The end of the operating rod 58 passes through the connecting groove 56 and is fixedly installed with an operating head 59.

[0026] When an elderly person needs to get up after bathing, the position of the positioning rod 53 should be as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the support rod 21 is in a free state and can reciprocate under the action of the servo motor 41. When the support rod 21 rotates to a horizontal state, the servo motor 41 is stopped. The elderly can turn the two operating heads 59 on both sides of the mounting shell 11 in sequence to make the operating rod 58 and the rotating sleeve 57 rotate. When the operating rod 58 rotates out of the connecting groove 56, the positioning rod 53 can be released from its limit. Under the action of the spring 54, the positioning rod 53 moves upward along the guide sleeve 52 and enters the positioning groove 55 on the support rod 21, thereby locking the support rod 21. At this time, the elderly can pull the shower rod 22 to help them get up, making it more convenient for them to get up after bathing. After getting up, the operating head 59 can be pulled down, and the positioning rod 53 moves out of the positioning groove 55. Then, the operating head 59 can be rotated, and the operating rod 58 enters the connecting groove 56 again, thus locking the positioning rod 53. At this time, the servo motor 41 can be turned on to drive the support rod 21 to rotate to a vertical state.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, the mounting shell 11 can first be installed in the shower area of ​​the bathroom. The sealing strip 14 on the mounting shell 11 can contact the wall to prevent water from entering the inside of the mounting shell 11. In the initial state, the support rod 21, folding stool 12, and folding handrail 13 are all in a vertical state. The whole device occupies little space and is easy to store. When unfolded, the folding stool 12 can be unfolded directly, and the two folding handrails 13 can be rotated to a horizontal state. Elderly people can sit directly on the folding stool 12 when showering, and the folding handrails 13 help the elderly stabilize their body. When installing the mounting shell 11, the water pipe of the shower rod 22 and the connector 32 of the external pipe 31 need to be connected to the water source. The working principle of the shower rod 22 and the spray head 24 is a mature existing technology, which will not be described in detail here. When bathing, the elderly can turn on the servo motor 41. When the servo motor 41 is turned on, it can drive the two drive reels 42 to rotate. When the drive reels 42 rotate, they can wind up and unwind the waterproof pull rope 45. During the winding and unwinding process of the waterproof pull rope 45, the guide wheel 44 can drive the connecting reel 43, thereby causing the connecting reel 43 to rotate. When the connecting reel 43 rotates, it can drive the support rod 21, the shower rod 22 and the hand handle 23 to rotate. Under the action of the servo motor 41, the support rod 21 can be driven to rotate back and forth, and the rotation angle is 90 degrees at a time. This allows the support rod 21 and the shower rod 22 to rotate from a vertical state to a horizontal state and then back. During the entire back and forth rotation process, the nozzles 24 on the shower rod 22 and the hand handle 23 can spray water to give the elderly a comprehensive wash, ensuring a larger and more convenient shower area. When it is necessary to rinse a specific part of the body, the elderly can stop the servo motor 41 and pull the hand rod 23 out of the shower rod 22. At this time, the plug 34 can move out of the slot 35, and the two magnetic pieces 36 separate. The elderly can then hold the hand rod 23 and move it to rinse the specific part of the body. During the movement of the hand rod 23, the outer tube 31 can be pulled to move it, ensuring that the hand rod 23 has a larger range of movement. After the hand rod 23 is used, it can be reset and the plug 34 can be inserted into the slot 35. Under the attraction of the two magnetic pieces 36, the hand rod 23 can be fixed. Under the action of the counterweight ball 33, the excess part of the outer tube 31 can be stored inside the mounting shell 11 to avoid exposure and space occupation. When the elderly person needs to get up after bathing, the position of the positioning rod 53 should be as follows: Figure 5As shown, the support rod 21 is in a free state and can reciprocate under the action of the servo motor 41. When the support rod 21 rotates to a horizontal state, the servo motor 41 is stopped. The elderly can turn the two operating heads 59 on both sides of the mounting shell 11 in sequence to make the operating rod 58 and the rotating sleeve 57 rotate. When the operating rod 58 rotates out of the connecting groove 56, the positioning rod 53 can be released from its limit. Under the action of the spring 54, the positioning rod 53 moves upward along the guide sleeve 52 and enters the positioning groove 55 on the support rod 21, thereby locking the support rod 21. At this time, the elderly can pull the shower rod 22 to help them get up, making it more convenient for them to get up after bathing. After getting up, the operating head 59 can be pulled down, and the positioning rod 53 moves out of the positioning groove 55. Then, the operating head 59 can be rotated, and the operating rod 58 enters the connecting groove 56 again, thus locking the positioning rod 53. At this time, the servo motor 41 can be turned on to drive the support rod 21 to rotate to a vertical state.
