[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of intelligent furniture, in particular to intelligent furniture specially designed for the elderly. Background Art
[0002] Bathroom cabinets are one of the core furniture in modern bathroom spaces. They not only carry storage functions, but also serve as a key element to enhance the overall beauty and practicality of the bathroom. Bathroom cabinets are usually made of high-quality materials that are waterproof and moisture-proof to ensure durability in a humid bathroom environment. In terms of design, bathroom cabinets focus on the balance between practicality and aesthetics. They usually include cabinets, countertops, drawers, and mirrors, which can conveniently store daily necessities such as toiletries, cosmetics, and towels.
[0003] Existing bathroom cabinets are generally not convenient for the elderly to wash and use. When using them, the elderly need to stand for a long time. Even if they are equipped with seats with adjustable height, the elderly's arms lack certain support and are in direct contact with the bathroom cabinet, which makes the comfort and safety less than ideal. In addition, the materials of existing bathroom cabinets are generally hard, and the common ones are solid wood, PVC, stainless steel, etc. Although these materials have their own advantages, these hard materials are in direct contact with the elderly's limbs, which is obviously not comfortable and easy to be bumped and damaged.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Technical personnel in this field can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] To solve the problem that the elderly need to stand for a long time when washing in the existing bathroom cabinets, even if they are equipped with height-adjustable seats, their arms lack certain support and come into direct contact with the hard bathroom cabinets, which makes the comfort and safety unsatisfactory. Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 4-Figure 5The utility model provides a smart furniture for the elderly, which can support the elderly's upper limbs when they wash and brush their teeth, greatly improving the comfort and safety of the elderly when using the bathroom cabinet. It includes a bathroom cabinet body 1 and a support plate 2 located above the bathroom cabinet body 1 and movable toward the human body. Two sets of adjustable support arm assemblies 3 for supporting human arms are installed on the top of the support plate 2; the support arm assembly 3 includes a second L-shaped plate 302 and a soft support block 301 fixed on the top of the second L-shaped plate 302, and the soft support block 301 and the second L-shaped plate 302 are detachably fixed by Velcro; an inclined groove 203 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the support plate 2, and the lower end of the inclined groove 203 extends to the top of the sink of the bathroom cabinet body 1, and a rubber water guide plate 204 is provided at the lower end of the inclined groove 203; a soft cover 205 is covered on the edge of the side of the support plate 2 close to the human body.
[0026] When in use, the elderly sit on the height-adjustable seat, pull the support plate 2 outward to a position suitable for the elderly, and then put their arms on the two sets of support arm assemblies 3, so that the washing waste water falls into the sink of the bathroom cabinet 1 through the inclined chute 203.
[0027] In order to improve the adaptability of the arm support assembly 3 and make it suitable for use by elderly people of different physiques, the arm support assembly 3 also includes a second slider 303 fixed at the end of the second L-shaped plate 302; a slide groove 206 is provided on the side of the support plate 2 facing away from the human body, and the second slider 303 is slidably provided in the slide groove 206. A third knob 304 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the second slider 303, and the second slider 303 is locked in the slide groove 206 by the third knob 304. A second slot 207 for the third knob 304 to pass through is provided on the bottom surface of the slide groove 206. Based on the physique of the elderly, the family members can adjust the arm support assembly 3 to a suitable position. When adjusting, loosen the third knob 304, and the second slider 303 can move freely along the slide groove 206, and the third knob 304 moves along the second slot 207. After reaching the desired position, tighten the third knob 304.
[0028] In order to further improve the comfort of the use of the support arm assembly 3, which is suitable for use in cold environments such as winter, a temperature control assembly 7 for regulating the temperature of the support arm assembly 3 is also included; the temperature control assembly 7 includes a temperature sensor 701 and a controller 702 arranged in the groove on the side of the support plate 2 and an electric heating film 703 arranged inside the soft pack support block 301, and the temperature sensor 701 and the electric heating film 703 are both electrically connected to the controller 702. The model of the temperature sensor 701 can be set to DS18B20, the controller 702 can use an STC series single-chip microcomputer, and the electric heating film 703 can be set to a graphene electric heating film, and the specific size is customized based on actual needs. The temperature of the surrounding environment is monitored by the temperature sensor 701, and the controller 702 controls the heating of the electric heating film 703 based on the temperature of the surrounding environment. The electric heating film 703 evenly dissipates heat to the surface of the soft pack support block 301, thereby bringing a warm feeling to the elderly, making the support arm assembly 3 comfortable and convenient to use in cold environments such as winter.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] On the basis of embodiment 1, in order to further solve the adaptability of the support plate 2 and the problem that young people at home do not need to use the support plate 2, as Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, a sliding assembly 4 is installed at one end of the bottom of the support plate 2, and the sliding assembly 4 is rotatably connected to the support plate 2. A slide rail 5 and a supporting rubber block 6 are respectively fixed to the two ends of the top of the bathroom cabinet 1. The sliding assembly 4 slides with the slide rail 5, and the other end of the bottom of the support plate 2 overlaps the supporting rubber block 6.
[0031] The sliding assembly 4 includes a first slider 401 and a first L-shaped plate 403 fixed on the first slider 401; the first slider 401 is slidably matched with the slide rail 5, and a first knob 402 is rotatably provided on the top of the first slider 401. The first slider 401 is locked in the slide rail 5 through the first knob 402, and a first slot hole 501 is provided on the top surface of the slide rail 5 for the first knob 402 to pass through.
[0032] Based on the physique of the elderly, family members can pull the tray 2 out to a suitable position. When pulling it out, loosen the first knob 402. At this time, the first slider 401 can move freely along the slide rail 5, and the first knob 402 moves along the first slot 501 to the desired position, and then tighten the first knob 402.
[0033] A support 201 is fixed to one end of the bottom of the support plate 2 corresponding to the first L-shaped plate 403 . The support 201 is hinged to the top of the first L-shaped plate 403 via a pin, and the pin is locked via a second knob 202 .
[0034] When the young people in the family do not need to use the support plate 2, the support plate 2 can be adjusted to a vertical state. When adjusting, first push the support plate 2 completely inward, then loosen the second knob 202. At this time, the support 201 can rotate freely. Lift one end of the support plate 2 upward to make it rotate. After it is in a vertical state, tighten the second knob 202.
[0035] The above-mentioned embodiment only expresses one implementation method of the utility model, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
