[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a toilet-assisting device for the elderly, comprising a mounting seat 1 and a pair of vertical rods 2 fixedly connected thereto, and also comprising a pair of lifting components for assisting the elderly to stand up, which are arranged on the two vertical rods 2;

[0027] The top plate 3 is used to drive the lifting assembly to reciprocate with the vertical rod 2 as the axis;

[0028] The driving assembly is arranged on the mounting base 1 and is used for driving the top plate 3 to move up and down. When the top plate 3 moves upward, the top plate 3 drives the lifting assembly to move upward.

[0029] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when an elderly person stands up, the position of the lifting assembly is first adjusted so that the two lifting assemblies are respectively supported on the armpits on both sides of the elderly person, and then the driving assembly is started. The driving assembly drives the top plate 3 to move upward, and the top plate 3 lifts the lifting assembly upward to move it upward along the vertical rod 2. During the upward movement, the two lifting assemblies provide corresponding assistance for the elderly person to stand up, and while moving upward, the movement trajectory of the lifting assembly is consistent with the movement trajectory of the elderly person's body, thereby effectively preventing the elderly person from standing unsteadily during the process of standing up, and eliminating safety hazards to a certain extent.

[0030] In one embodiment: each lifting assembly includes a pair of U-shaped plates 4 slidably arranged on the vertical rod 2, a spring 5 is sleeved on the vertical rod 2, and both ends of the spring 5 are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the two U-shaped plates 4, an outer plate 6 is arranged between the symmetrical plate bodies of one of the U-shaped plates 4, and a rotating block 7 is arranged between the symmetrical plate bodies of the other U-shaped plate 4, the outer plate 6 and the rotating block 7 are both sleeved on the corresponding vertical rod 2, an inner plate 8 is slidably arranged on each outer plate 6, a protective pad 9 is installed on the inner plate 8, and a pull rod 10 is hinged on each rotating block 7, and the pull rod 10 is hinged to the inner plate 8 at one end away from the rotating block 7.

[0031] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical scheme are as follows: the driving component starts to lift the lifting component as a whole upward, and the protection pad 9 is supported under the armpits of the elderly, providing an upward thrust for the elderly to get up, so that the elderly can slowly get up with the help of the lifting component. In the initial stage of getting up, the elderly's upper body basically moves vertically upward, which is consistent with the movement trajectory of the protection pad 9 at this time. After the two U-shaped plates 4 located at the top contact the plate body on the top of the mounting seat 1, the two U-shaped plates 4 are restricted and stop moving upward, and the two U-shaped plates 4 located at the bottom continue to move upward, so that the spring 5 is compressed, the inclination angle of the two pull rods 10 changes, and the angle between the pull rod 10 and the inner plate 8 gradually becomes smaller. The two inner plates 8 simultaneously extend in the direction away from the outer plate 6, driving the protection pad 9 to gradually move away from the outer plate 6 while moving upward, cooperating with the movement trajectory of the subsequent stage of the elderly getting up, to avoid the elderly from getting up unsteadily.

[0032] In one embodiment, the driving assembly includes a hydraulic telescopic rod 11 mounted on the mounting seat 1 , and the moving end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top plate 3 .

[0033] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 is started, and the moving end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 moves, driving the top plate 3 to move up and down synchronously.

[0034] In one embodiment: a U-shaped block 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of each protection pad 9, the U-shaped block 12 is slidably connected to the inner plate 8, a bolt 13 is threadedly connected to the middle of the U-shaped block 12, and the upper end of the bolt 13 abuts against the lower surface of the inner plate 8.

[0035] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: first loosen the bolt 13, then push the protection pad 9, adjust the position of the protection pad 9 relative to the inner plate 8, so that the protection pad 9 can be adjusted according to the actual situation of each elderly person to support their armpits. After adjustment, tighten the bolt 13.

[0036] In one embodiment, a handle 14 is installed on a side of each inner panel 8 away from the outer panel 6 .

[0037] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the handle 14 facilitates the elderly to adjust the position of the lifting assembly, and can be used for the elderly to grasp when standing up to help them stabilize their body shape, thereby further improving the practicality of the device.

[0038] In one embodiment: a trigger button 15 and a corresponding electronic control unit are provided at the upper end of each handle 14. When one of the trigger buttons 15 is triggered, the electronic control unit controls the movement of the movable end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 11, and the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 drives the top plate 3 to move upward. When another trigger button 15 is triggered, the electronic control unit controls the movement of the movable end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 11, and the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 drives the top plate 3 to move downward.

[0039] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: by pressing the trigger button 15 on one of the handles 14, the moving end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 pulls the top plate 3 upward, and the top plate 3 moves upward to drive the lifting assembly to move upward, providing assistance for the elderly to get up. After pressing the trigger button 15 on the other handle 14, the moving end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 moves downward, driving the lifting assembly to reset.

[0040] In one embodiment, a support seat 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the top plate 3 close to the inner plate 8 , and a limiting groove for limiting the rotation of the outer plate 6 is formed on the upper surface of each support seat 16 .

[0041] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: when the top plate 3 moves upward, it drives the two support seats 16 to move upward synchronously, so that the lower sides of the two outer plates 6 are respectively embedded in the limit grooves on the upper sides of the support seats 16, which is used to limit the rotation of the two outer plates 6, thereby avoiding the shaking of the lifting assembly during operation. At the same time, the support seat 16 and the outer plate 6 cooperate to form a triangular support, further improving the stability of the device.

[0042] In one embodiment: baffles 17 are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two U-shaped plates 4 , and two limiting rods 18 are fixedly connected to the mounting base 1 , and each limiting rod 18 is located below the corresponding U-shaped plate 4 .

[0043] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the baffle 17 can hold the outer panel 6 against the wall after it is rotated to a position perpendicular to the wall, thereby preventing the lifting assembly from shaking excessively when the elderly stand up, thereby improving the stability of the device; the limit rod 18 can hold the lifting assembly against the specified position after it moves down to the specified position, so that the two support seats 16 on the top plate 3 can be smoothly detached from the corresponding outer panel 6, and the rotation of the outer panel 6 is no longer restricted.

[0044] In one embodiment, a pair of supporting frames 19 arranged opposite to each other are installed at the bottom of the mounting base 1 .

[0045] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the support frame 19 can share the force exerted on the device when the elderly stand up, and after the device is installed, the probability of the screws thereon becoming loose is reduced, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0046] In one embodiment: a plurality of symmetrically arranged mounting blocks 20 are fixedly connected to the mounting seat 1 , and each mounting block 20 is provided with a mounting hole.

[0047] The working principle and beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: by passing a plurality of screws through the corresponding mounting holes on the mounting block 20 and screwing them into the threaded grooves pre-opened on the wall, the device can be installed on the wall behind the toilet.

[0048] Working principle and usage process:

[0049] First, screw through the mounting holes on the mounting block 20 to fix the device on the wall behind the toilet. When the elderly need to go to the toilet, first pull the handle 14 to make the outer plate 6 and the rotating block 7 rotate with the vertical rod 2 as the axis at the same time, and rotate the lifting assembly to a position close to both sides of the elderly's body to ensure that the elderly can reach the lifting assembly with their hands when sitting on the toilet.

[0050] After the elderly person uses the toilet, the position of the lifting assembly is further adjusted so that the elderly person can hold the two handles 14 with both hands, and the two protection pads 9 are respectively placed under the armpits on both sides. The trigger button 15 on one of the handles 14 is pressed, and the moving end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 pulls the top plate 3 upward, and the two ends of the top plate 3 respectively squeeze the two U-shaped plates 4 located below, so that the lifting assembly is lifted upward as a whole, and the protection pads 9 are supported under the armpits of the elderly person, providing an upward thrust for the elderly person to get up, so that the elderly person can slowly get up with the help of the lifting assembly. In the initial stage of getting up, the elderly person's upper body basically moves vertically upward, which is consistent with the movement trajectory of the protection pads 9 at this time. After the two U-shaped plates 4 located at the top contact the plate body at the top of the mounting seat 1, the two U-shaped plates 4 are restricted and stop moving upward. The two U-shaped plates 4 at the bottom continue to move upward, so that the spring 5 is compressed, the inclination angle of the two pull rods 10 changes, the angle between the pull rod 10 and the inner plate 8 gradually becomes smaller, and the two inner plates 8 extend in the direction away from the outer plate 6 at the same time, driving the protection pad 9 to gradually move away from the outer plate 6 while moving upward, cooperating with the movement trajectory of the elderly in the subsequent stage of getting up, to avoid the elderly from getting up unsteadily. At the same time, the elderly hold the handles 14 with both hands, which can further improve the stability when getting up. After the elderly successfully recovers the upright state, press the trigger button 15 on the other handle 14 to make the moving end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 11 move downward, driving the lifting assembly to reset, and then pull the two handles 14 to make them close to the wall without affecting the normal use of the toilet by other family members.

[0051] It should be noted that the device is not only suitable for the elderly, but also for other people who have difficulty getting up after using the toilet, and the device can adjust the installation height and the size of the support frame 19, so that the device can be adapted to various models of toilets and squat toilets.

[0052] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
