Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of architectural decoration technology, specifically to an extended storage design structure for elderly-friendly residential interiors. Background Technology

[0002] my country has entered the middle and late stages of urbanization, and urban development faces new challenges, making urban renewal an urgent priority. The renovation of old urban communities, as a crucial component of urban renewal, is of great significance for promoting urban development. This renovation addresses common problems in old communities, such as deteriorating community environments, chaotic road traffic, inadequate infrastructure, and poor indoor living conditions, aiming to adapt to modern economic development and meet the growing needs of the people for a better life. Simultaneously, the aging population has drawn increasing attention to the elderly. As the most frequent users of community spaces, research on age-friendliness, with the elderly as the primary research subject, is of significant practical importance.

[0003] As people age, their physiological functions change and decline. Changes in the range of motion in the limbs of the elderly result in slight differences in their daily activities of standing, sitting, lying down, and walking compared to younger people. Furthermore, many elderly people are nostalgic and frequently put things away and retrieve them, which can lead to noticeable discomfort over time. Existing residential interior storage structures lack designs to alleviate the discomfort experienced by the elderly and other groups. Their simple structures, limited functions, and poor user experience hinder the renovation process in this area. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an extended storage design structure for elderly-friendly residential interiors in order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an extended storage design structure for elderly-friendly residential interiors, comprising: The cabinet has several storage slots arranged in an array, with a first receiving slot on the outside of the storage slots in the middle and a second receiving slot at the bottom. An arm support structure includes a swing arm, a support member, and a locking member. The swing arm is hinged to a first movable slot in the first receiving slot via a first pivot. When swinging, the end of the swing arm extending outside the cabinet body engages with the support member. The locking member locks the swing arm in multiple swing postures. The seating support structure is movably disposed within the second receiving groove. It includes a folding stool and a connecting rod. The folding stool is hinged to the outer end of the connecting rod to switch between a flat storage state and an upright unfolded state. The inner end of the connecting rod slides and engages with the guide groove inside the second receiving groove with limited travel.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution: The first receiving groove also includes a second movable groove that is connected to the bottom of the first movable groove. The locking member is a swing rod, the bottom of which is hinged in the second movable groove through a second pivot, and a locking block is provided on its top. The swing arm is provided with several locking slots that engage with the locking block.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The bottom of the second movable groove is provided with a wedge-shaped stop to limit the swing range of the locking member.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: A torsion spring is provided at the hinge point between the second rotating shaft and the inner wall of the second movable groove.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The swing arms and locking components are arranged in several sets. The first rotating shaft passes through the cabinet and connects to several of the swing arms. The second rotating shaft passes through the cabinet and connects to several of the locking components.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The first receiving groove also includes a third movable groove that extends horizontally and communicates with the first movable groove, and the support member is integrally and movably embedded in the third movable groove.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The third movable groove has a first hand-holding groove extending from its side, and the second receiving groove has a second hand-holding groove extending from its side.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: A buffer pad is provided on the inner side of the third movable groove.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution: The folding stool is a small stool, which includes an X-shaped hinge structure consisting of a first stool leg and a second stool leg hinged in the middle, and a flexible stool surface that connects to the top of the first stool leg and the second stool leg. The connecting rod is hinged to the bottom of the first stool leg or the second stool leg.

[0014] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art: 1. This interior hard-furnishing storage structure integrates embedded arm support and seating support structures, making it convenient for the elderly and other groups to support themselves when retrieving items at varying heights. When the arm support structure is extended, it supports the user's arms, reducing arm pain from prolonged lifting and discomfort when retrieving items from high places. When the seating support structure is extended, residents can sit on an extended folding stool, reducing fatigue from squatting when retrieving items from low places. Addressing the issue of uncomfortable user postures, the storage structure's components have been expanded to achieve multi-functional integration and improve the user experience. When folded, the components are completely retracted into the storage structure, preventing the extended structure from interfering with the user's activities around it.

[0015] 2. Reuse the stools that are not used in old residential communities and integrate them into the storage structure. This reduces the material consumption for the renovation and refurbishment of the storage structure, improves the material utilization rate, and realizes the concept of environmental protection design. The reuse of stools is also more acceptable to the elderly and other nostalgic groups, realizing the integration of traditional and modern products and making the storage structure more attractive.

[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0027] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper" and "inner" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the invention is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0028] In the description of this invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances. Example 1:

[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 This invention provides a technical solution: an extended storage design structure for elderly-friendly residential interiors, comprising: The cabinet 1 has several storage slots 2 arranged in an array, with a first receiving slot 3 located on the outside of the storage slots 2 in the middle and a second receiving slot 4 located at the bottom. The arm support structure 5 includes a swing arm 6, a support member 7, and a locking member 8. The swing arm 6 is hinged in the first movable groove 9 of the first receiving groove 3 via a first pivot. When it swings, the end of the swing arm extending outside the cabinet 1 connects to the support member 7. The locking member 8 locks the swing arm 6 in multiple swing postures. The sitting support structure 10 is movably disposed within the second receiving groove 4. It includes a folding stool 11 and a connecting rod 12. The folding stool 11 is hinged to the outer end of the connecting rod 12 to switch between a flat storage state and an upright unfolded state. The inner end of the connecting rod 12 slides and engages with the guide groove inside the second receiving groove 4 with limited travel.

[0030] The first receiving groove 3 also includes a second movable groove 13 that is connected to the bottom of the first movable groove 9. The locking member 8 is a swing rod, the bottom of which is hinged in the second movable groove 13 through a second pivot, and a locking block 14 is provided on its top. The swing arm 6 is provided with a plurality of locking slots 15 that engage with the locking block 14.

[0031] The working principle of the extended storage design structure for an elderly-friendly residential building in this embodiment includes: When in use, if it is necessary to retrieve or place items in the upper storage slot 2 of this storage structure, the support member 7 is pulled out, causing the swing arm 6 to swing to the desired height. The locking member 8 is then moved out and its position adjusted so that the locking block 14 engages with the corresponding slot 15. At this time, the swing arm 6 and the locking member 8 partially form a triangular support structure. This structure ensures that the locking block 14 remains stably engaged with the slot 15 even when the swing arm 6 and the support member 7 are under pressure, resulting in a stable structure. At this point, elderly residents can... Place your hand on the support 7 to retrieve or place items in the storage slot 2. This design supports the arm and reduces arm pain caused by prolonged arm elevation and posture maintenance when retrieving items from a height. This is especially common among the elderly, thus achieving an age-friendly design. When it is necessary to release the lock, lift the support 7 upwards to disengage the latch 15 from the latch block 14, allowing for readjustment of the position and posture of the arm support structure 5. Alternatively, the locking piece 8, swing arm 6, and support 7 can be sequentially pressed back into the first receiving slot 3 for storage.

[0032] If it is necessary to retrieve or place items in the bottom storage slot 2, the folding stool 11 in the second receiving slot 4 is pulled out, and the connecting rod 12 slides into the guide slot for guidance. The latter is equipped with a limiting block to abut against the protrusion at the inner end of the connecting rod 12, or to form a positioning form such as snap-fit ​​or magnetic attraction based on magnets, thereby limiting the distance the connecting rod 12 moves out. This limits the travel of the folding stool 11. Then, it can be rotated along the connecting rod 12 to an upright state and unfolded for use. Through the limiting effect of the connecting rod 12, the probability and degree of wobbling and displacement of the folding stool 11 can be reduced, improving the stability of use. When storing, the folding stool 11 is folded and flipped to a flat state, and then pushed into the second receiving slot 4 together with the connecting rod 12 for storage. This design can reduce the space required for storage, improve the space utilization of the storage structure, and facilitate the improvement and decoration of existing storage structures. This design allows the elderly and other groups to lean on and support themselves when using the storage structure in a squatting or sitting position, reducing fatigue from squatting and achieving an age-friendly design.

[0033] In summary, this interior hard-furnishing storage structure, through the embedded integration of arm support and seating support structures, facilitates the use of elderly people and others when retrieving items at varying heights. When unfolded, the arm support structure provides arm support, reducing arm pain from prolonged lifting and discomfort when retrieving items from high places. When unfolded, the seating support structure allows residents to sit on an unfolded folding stool, reducing fatigue from the squatting posture when retrieving items from low places. Addressing the issue of uncomfortable user postures, the storage structure's components have been expanded to achieve multi-functional integration and improve the user experience. When folded, the components are completely retracted into the storage structure, preventing the extended structure from interfering with user activities around it. Example 2:

[0034] Please see Figure 1-4 The figure shows an extended storage design structure for an elderly-friendly residential interior provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: A wedge-shaped stop 16 is provided at the bottom of the second movable groove 13 to limit the swing range of the locking member 8. When the locking member 8 swings to its outermost position, it is stopped by the wedge-shaped stop 16, preventing it from continuing to flip and fall, thus avoiding collision with the ground or other objects or injuring the user. At this time, the arm support structure 5 extends outward to its maximum extent, and through the abutment of the wedge-shaped stop 16, structural support and reinforcement are achieved, improving structural stability.

[0035] A torsion spring is provided at the hinge between the second rotating shaft and the inner wall of the second movable groove 13. In use, after the swing arm 6 and the support 7 are raised, the torque applied by the torsion spring will cause the locking piece 8 to swing out automatically, reducing the difficulty of operation. When storing, the locking piece 8 can be released by pressing it inward to a certain extent. Under the gravity of the swing arm 6 and the support 7, the three parts can be automatically reset and stored.

[0036] The swing arms 6 and locking components 8 are arranged in several sets. The first rotating shaft passes through the cabinet 1 and connects to several swing arms 6. The second rotating shaft passes through the cabinet 1 and connects to several locking components 8, thereby realizing the association of multiple sets of swing arms 6 and multiple sets of locking components 8, and improving the stability of swinging and positioning. Example 3:

[0037] Please see Figure 1-4The figure shows an extended storage design structure for an elderly-friendly residential interior provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: the first receiving groove 3 includes a third movable groove 17 extending horizontally and connecting to the first movable groove 9, and the support member 7 is movably embedded in the third movable groove 17. This achieves complete embedded storage of the support member 7 within the storage structure, preventing structural exposure.

[0038] The third movable groove 17 has a first hand-holding groove 18 extending from its side, and the second receiving groove 4 has a second hand-holding groove 20 extending from its side, so as to facilitate inserting a hand or an object such as a cane used by the elderly into the hand-holding groove to pull out the structure and improve the ease of operation.

[0039] A buffer pad 19 is provided on the inner side of the third movable groove 17 to buffer the support member 7 when it swings back to its original position during the storage of the arm support structure 5. Example 4:

[0040] Please see Figure 5 , 6 The figure shows an extended storage design structure for an elderly-friendly residential interior provided by Embodiment 4 of the present invention. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further improves upon the following technical solution: the folding stool 11 is a small stool, comprising an X-shaped hinge structure consisting of a first stool leg 21 and a second stool leg 22 hinged in the middle, and a flexible seat surface 23 connecting the tops of the first stool leg 21 and the second stool leg 22. The bottom of the first stool leg 21 or the second stool leg 22 is hinged to the connecting rod 12. The flexible seat surface 23 is a conventionally woven seat surface made of cloth or hemp rope. This reuses small stools that are rarely used in older residential communities, integrating them into the storage structure, reducing the material consumption for renovation and refurbishment, improving material utilization, and achieving an environmentally friendly design concept. The reuse of small stools is also more acceptable to the elderly and other nostalgic groups, achieving a fusion of traditional and modern products, making the storage structure more attractive.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
