A first rotating shaft 211 is movably inserted into the lower end of each upper connecting rod 21. Symmetrically arranged lower connecting rod assemblies 22 are hinged to the lower end of each upper connecting rod 21. Each lower connecting rod assembly 22 includes two... The upper U-shaped component 221 and the lower U-shaped component 222 are symmetrically arranged. A lower connecting rod 223 is provided between the upper U-shaped component 221 and the lower U-shaped component 222. Both ends of the lower connecting rod 223 are connected to rotating rings 2231. The rotating rings 2231 are located inside the upper U-shaped component 221 and the lower U-shaped component 222 respectively. The upper ends of the upper U-shaped component 221 and the lower U-shaped component 222 are inserted into the rotating rings 2231 through a second rotating shaft 2232. The upper and lower ends of the second rotating shaft 2232 are threaded with limit nuts 2233. The lower end of the rotating disk 1 is provided with a shower tube 3. The side wall of the shower tube 3 is provided with multiple hinge blocks 31 corresponding to the moving adjustment mechanism 2. A third rotating shaft 311 is movably inserted into the hinge block 31. The lower U-shaped piece 222 is hinged to the hinge block 31 through the third rotating shaft 311. The inner side wall of the shower tube 3 is provided with multiple equidistant toggle bars 32, and the inner side wall of the shower tube 3 is symmetrically provided with cross guide grooves 33. The lower end of the shower tube 3 is provided with a through stroke groove 34. The shower drum 3 is equipped with a back-rubbing massage mechanism 4. The back-rubbing massage mechanism 4 includes a foot plate 41 hinged at both ends. The foot plate 41 is equipped with a first hinge plate 42. An inclined connecting rod 43 is hinged on the first hinge plate 42. The back-rubbing massage mechanism 4 also includes a second hinge plate 44 symmetrically welded to the lower end of the shower tube 3. A crankshaft 45 is rotatably connected between the second hinge plates 44. One end of the crankshaft 45 passes through the second hinge plate 44 and is connected to a rotating wheel 46. The upper end of the connecting rod 43 is hinged to the eccentric shaft on the rotating wheel 46. A top rod 47 passing through the stroke groove 34 is hinged to the middle of the crankshaft 45. The back-rubbing massage mechanism 4 also includes a back-rubbing massage plate 48 located inside the shower drum 3. The lower end of the back-rubbing massage plate 48 is provided with a U-shaped shaft 481. The upper end of the top rod 47 is hinged to the U-shaped shaft 481. The back-rubbing massage plate 48 is provided with multiple rows of massage components 483 that are staggered with the actuating bar 32. Each massage component 483 includes an embedded massage head 4831. One end of the massage head 4831 is connected to a movable shaft 4832 that passes through the back-rubbing massage plate 48. The other end of the movable shaft 4832 is connected to a top head 4833. A return spring 4834 sleeved on the movable shaft 4832 is connected between the top head 4833 and the back-rubbing massage plate 48.

[0019] Specifically, four movable components 5 are evenly arranged at the lower end of the shower drum 3. Each movable component 5 includes a telescopic rod 51, and support rods 54 are symmetrically welded to the two movable components 5 located at the front end. Both ends of the foot plate 41 are rotatably connected to the support rods 54 via shafts. The shower drum 3 has a seat-type structure, and the movable components 5 adopt a telescopic buffer structure, which is convenient for elderly people to sit and stand while showering, and also facilitates all-round movement through the three movable adjustment mechanisms 2, making it convenient for elderly people to pick up bath products.

[0020] Specifically, a buffer spring 52 is provided between the movable component 5 and the shower drum 3, and a caster wheel 53 is installed at the lower end of the movable component 5.

[0021] Specifically, a shower head 12 is detachably mounted on the lower end of the rotating disc 1. A T-shaped rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected inside the rotating disc 1. A mounting plate 14 is welded to the upper end of the T-shaped rotating shaft 13, and multiple mounting bolts are provided on the mounting plate 14. This facilitates the movement and rotation of the shower drum 3, improving the flexibility of seated showers for the elderly. The mounting plate 14 is installed on the top wall to fix the entire device.

[0022] Specifically, one end of both the upper U-shaped component 221 and the lower U-shaped component 222 is provided with an integrally formed threaded sleeve 2211. The upper U-shaped component 221 is threadedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 211 through the threaded sleeve 2211, and the lower U-shaped component 222 is threadedly connected to the corresponding third rotating shaft 311 through the threaded sleeve 2211. The hinge between the upper U-shaped component 221 and the lower U-shaped component 222 facilitates vertical position adjustment, allowing the shower drum 3 to sink to accommodate elderly people of different weights. The lower connecting rod 223, which is hinged between the upper U-shaped component 221 and the lower U-shaped component 222, facilitates adjustment in the left, right, forward, and backward directions, improving the mobility of the shower aid.

[0023] Specifically, the back massage board 48 has symmetrically arranged cross rods 482 on its back, and the cross rods 482 are inserted into the cross guide grooves 33. The back massage board 48 is guided by the cross rods 482 inserted into the cross guide grooves 33, and the back massage board 48 moves up and down to massage the back of the elderly.

[0024] Specifically, both the massage head 4831 and the top head 4833 adopt a semi-circular structure. When the back massage plate 48 moves up and down, the top head 4833 is squeezed by the actuating strip 32, which drives the massage head 4831 to massage the back of the elderly, thus improving the function of the shower aid.

[0025] Specifically, the lower end of the shower tube 3 is provided with multiple drain holes 35 to facilitate the discharge of shower water through the drain holes 35.

[0026] In use, the elderly person first sits on the shower tube 3 and turns on the shower head 12 to shower. Under their weight, they press down on the lifting rod 51, which compresses the buffer spring 52. At the same time, the hinge of the upper connecting rod 21 and the lower connecting rod assembly 22 enables the vertical (Z-axis direction) adjustment mechanism 2, which is driven by the weight, to move and adjust vertically. Under the action of gravity, the moving assembly 5 is compressed. When it is necessary to move the shower tube 3 to take out bath products, the elderly person moves the shower tube 3 by supporting their legs. The rotation of the shower tube 3 can be changed by the rotation connection between the rotating disk 1 and the T-shaped rotating shaft 13. The lower connecting rod assembly... The bidirectional hinge of the lower connecting rod 223 on component 22 enables the shower tube 3 to move in all directions (realizing movement along the X and Y axes on the plane). When moving in all directions, the initial state is that the two 223s are rectangles. During the movement, the horizontal distance between the first rotating shaft 221 and the third rotating shaft 311 decreases. The upper connecting rod 21 moves inward to compensate, thereby enabling the shower tube 3 to move in all directions, improving the flexibility of this shower aid. The moving adjustment mechanism 2 ensures that the shower tube 3 moves in an upright horizontal direction, preventing the shower tube 3 from sliding sideways and tipping over. During the back-rubbing massage, pressing the foot pedal 41 causes the connecting rod 43 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating wheel 46 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the crankshaft 45 to rotate. The crankshaft 45 then drives the push rod 47 to move up and down along the stroke groove 34. This movement in turn drives the back-rubbing massage plate 48, which is hinged on the push rod 47, to rub the back up and down. During the up-and-down movement of the back-rubbing massage plate 48, the top head 4833 is lifted by the actuating bar 32. This lifts the massage head 4831 to press and massage the back through the movable shaft 4832. When the top head 4833 is not in contact with the actuating bar 32, the massage component 483 is reset by the force of the return spring 4834, thus achieving the reciprocating back-rubbing massage.
