Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fall prevention equipment technology, specifically a wall-mounted fall prevention device for assisting elderly people when using the toilet. Background Technology

[0002] For elderly people with mobility issues or those who are very old, using the toilet can be difficult and they are prone to falling, especially when standing up after squatting. The effort required to stand up makes it easy for them to fall forward, causing serious injury. Although many toilets have child-friendly features such as handrails to help the elderly, these handrails only provide support and can help them squat or stand up. They do not provide any protective assistance during the standing process. If an elderly person lacks the strength to hold onto the handrail firmly, they will inevitably fall forward.

In addition, when the insertion positioning strip 74 plays a role in fixing the receiving sliding block 4, it is inserted into the fixed channel 42.

[0038] The arch-shaped support frame 1 is fixedly installed on the wall. In use, the elderly person places both arms on the movable arm support plate 2, then holds the two handle posts 22, and simultaneously presses the push-button switch 23 that controls the extension of the electric telescopic rod 12. This causes the movable arm support plate 2 to slowly move downwards. During the squatting process, the movable arm support plate 2 provides consistent support and protection for the elderly person. Releasing the push-button switch 23 stops the extension of the electric telescopic rod 12. Furthermore, the sliding block 4 remains fixed during the downward movement of the movable arm support plate 2. The protective movable support plate 3 is moved in this way. Under the action of the hinged drive rod 37, it will push the protective movable support plate 3 to move towards each other and eventually close together. During the movement, the protective movable support plate 3 will push the movable positioning rod 5 to move under the action of the pushing and cooperating inclined surface 34 until the movable positioning rod 5 is aligned with the support plate fixing hole 35. Then, under the action of the first connecting spring 52, the movable positioning rod 5 is inserted into the support plate fixing hole 35, thereby fixing the protective movable support plate 3. In addition, during the movement and closing process of the protective movable support plate 3, the support plate fixing block 32 will push the movable pushed block 6 to move, and then under the action of the hinged linkage rod 62, it will push the movable connecting block 6. 3. Move the plug-in positioning strip 74 out of the fixed channel 42 under the action of the plug-in driving plate 65. At this time, the receiving sliding block 4 is in the unlocked state. When the elderly person gets up, press the push switch 23 to retract the electric telescopic rod 12, which will drive the movable arm support strip 2 to move upward. Under the action of the movable arm support strip 2, the elderly person can be pushed upward, making it easier for them to get up. At the same time, the protective movable support plate 3 is always in the closed state during the elderly person's getting up, which can effectively prevent the elderly person from falling during the getting up process. In addition, releasing the control electric telescopic rod 12 to retract When the switch 23 is pressed, the electric telescopic rod 12 stops retracting. After the elderly person gets up, pulling the movable positioning rod 5 to disengage it from the support plate fixing hole 35 will unlock the protective movable support plate 3. Under the action of gravity, the receiving sliding block 4 moves down to reset, and at the same time, the protective movable support plate 3 is reset. Meanwhile, the insertion positioning strip 74 abuts against the limit top strip 43 until the insertion positioning strip 74 is aligned with the fixed channel 42. Under the action of the second connecting spring 72, the insertion positioning strip 74 is inserted into the fixed channel 42 to fix the receiving sliding block 4 again. At this time, the protective movable support plate 3 is in a separated state, and the elderly person can get out.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
