Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bathroom stools, in particular to a bathroom stool with adjustable friction damping. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, bathing is a necessary activity for everyone.

[0003] Nowadays, most of the elderly families and nursing homes in my country install shower facilities for the elderly to bathe due to limited bathroom space and cost issues. As the elderly's physical fitness declines and they cannot stand for a long time to bathe, the bathroom stool becomes a very important bathroom facility in the bathroom space. At present, the bathing stools on the market are mainly divided into two categories. One is the floor-mounted type, which is an ordinary four-legged stool with necessary anti-slip and waterproof treatments; the other is the wall-mounted type, which fixes the bathroom stool to the wall of the bathroom with expansion screws, and folds the panel to a horizontal state with the help of the hinge structure when in use, and can be folded when not in use. Among them, the installation structure of the current wall-mounted bathroom stool is often relatively simple. Generally, the fixed end of the hinge is attached to the wall and locked with an expansion screw, while the movable end of the hinge is fixed and locked to one side of the panel. The position of the hinge of this type of bathroom stool remains unchanged after production. However, since the panel is generally a rectangular plate with a long side and a short side, if the bathroom building area is small, it is easy to limit the fixed installation angle of the bathroom stool, resulting in the inconvenience of on-site installation or flipping and use. In addition, most of the hinges used in current bathroom stools cannot adjust their damping. After long-term use, the hinge structure is prone to loosening, causing the panel to flip and fall easily, causing additional trouble. Utility Model Content

[0030] The utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Combination Figure 1-6 The present embodiment discloses a bathroom stool with adjustable friction damping, which can be flexibly installed in different orientations and has a damping adjustment function to reduce the occurrence of unexpected troubles caused by the bathroom stool's uncontrollable self-flipping and falling.

[0032] The bathroom stool comprises a base 1, a panel 2, a connecting pipe 3, a mounting seat 4, a countersunk bolt 5, an embedded part 6 and a gasket 7.

[0033] Specifically, the base 1 is a rectangular frame structure. In this embodiment, the base 1 is welded from 4 aluminum profiles, and in other embodiments, it can also be made of plastic. The main function of the base 1 is to provide stable bearing support, shaping and component connection.

[0034] The panel 2 is connected to the base 1. Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the panel 2 is provided with a plurality of countersunk holes, which are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1 by means of a countersunk bolt 5 structure, wherein an embedded part 6 is provided at the corresponding countersunk holes inside the aluminum profile, and the embedded part 6 is a rod body with an internal thread structure. After installation, the countersunk bolt 5 is engaged with the internal thread of the embedded part 6.

[0035] Furthermore, a drain groove 21 is provided on the panel 2. The drain groove 21 is a strip-shaped through-hole structure. The drain groove 21 vertically penetrates the panel 2 and is used to avoid excessive water accumulation on the top of the panel 2 when in use. The drain groove 21 is staggered from the base 1 structure so that the accumulated water can be discharged in time and the situation where the water flows and stays on the base 1 structure is reduced, thereby protecting the base 1 to a certain extent and extending its service life.

[0036] Furthermore, in order to adapt to the contact between the panel 2 and objects such as a bathtub after being turned over and to avoid bumping and wearing the outer surface of the objects, a gasket 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the base 1, and the gasket 7 is made of an elastic rubber sheet or a silicone sheet.

[0037] The base 1 is provided with connecting pipes 3 on the front side (long side) and the left side (short side). The connecting pipes 3 are arranged horizontally. The outer wall of the connecting pipes 3 is connected and fixed to the outer wall of the base 1 by welding. The connecting pipes 3 are located on the outside, and the connecting pipes 3 have horizontal openings at both axial ends.

[0038] The openings at the axial ends of the connecting pipe 3 on the left side are connected to a mounting base 4, and the mounting base 4 has a connecting piece 41 for connecting to the wall. The connecting piece 41 is "L"-shaped, and its vertical section is provided with 3 staggered connecting through holes. The connecting through holes pass through the connecting piece 41 horizontally and are used to connect the expansion bolts to the wall. After installation, the connecting piece 41 is fixed to the wall.

[0039] Further, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The outer end of the connecting piece 41 is provided with a flip connection structure, and the flip connection structure specifically includes a fixed cylinder 42 and a pivot cylinder, wherein the fixed cylinder 42 is connected to the connecting piece 41, and the fixed cylinder 42 is horizontally arranged in the axial direction. In this embodiment, the fixed cylinder 42 is horizontally oriented front to back, and the axial inner end of the fixed cylinder 42 is movably connected with a pivot cylinder, and the pivot cylinder is inserted into the opening of the connecting tube 3.

[0040] In this implementation, reference Figure 5 The pivot tube includes an inner tube 44 and an outer tube 43. The fixed tube 42 is horizontally fixed to the inner side of the horizontal end of the connecting piece 41. An operating cavity b is formed inside the fixed tube 42. The operating cavity b transversely penetrates the fixed tube 42. The pivot tube is located at the inner side of the operating cavity b. The inner cylinder 44 and the outer cylinder 43 can rotate relative to each other around the axial center line, the axial outer end of the inner cylinder 44 is fixedly connected to the axial inner end of the fixed cylinder 42 by welding, the outer cylinder 43 can be movably sleeved on the axial inner end of the inner cylinder 44 and the inner ends of the two are arranged flush (the inner cylinder 44 is inside the outer cylinder 43, and the inner and outer side walls of the two are abutted), the axial inner end of the outer cylinder 43 is inserted into the opening of the connecting tube 3, and the axial inner ends of the inner cylinder 44 and the outer cylinder 43 are both provided with the deformation groove a, which is an axial linear slot structure. The deformation groove a makes the axial inner ends of the inner cylinder 44 and the outer cylinder 43 constitute a radial expansion and contraction free end structure, which can undergo radial deformation to a certain extent, and when it expands outward, it can increase the rotational damping between the connecting tube 3. The axial outer end of the built-in cylinder 44 is fixedly provided with a baffle 45 by welding, and a through hole is provided at the center of the baffle 45, whereby an adjusting bolt 46 is passed through the baffle 45 with clearance, and the baffle 45 forms a limiting structure for the adjusting bolt 46, so that it will not move axially inward when it is twisted and rotated, and the screw rod of the adjusting bolt 46 is threadedly connected with a cone block 47, and the cone block 47 is located at the axial inner end of the inner cavity of the built-in cylinder 44. The outer wall of the cone block 47 forms a conical structure with a small inside and a large outside relative to the inner cavity contour of the built-in cylinder 44, and the cone block 47 can move a certain stroke into the inner cavity of the built-in cylinder 44, and the movement is driven by the rotation of the adjusting screw to drive the cone block 47 to occur, and the nut of the adjusting bolt 46 is located in the operating cavity b, which is convenient for the operator to insert a screwdriver from the outside of the operating cavity b to twist the adjusting bolt 46.

[0041] The cone block 47, the adjusting bolt, the baffle 45, the inner tube 44 and the outer tube 43 cooperate to form a damping adjustment structure. The cone block 47 is axially displaced relative to the inner tube 44 inside the inner tube 44, which can form the deformation control action of the radial expansion and contraction free end. Specifically, when the cone block 47 is affected by the adjusting bolt 46 and moves toward the inner cavity of the inner tube 44, the outer conical surface structure of the cone block 47 gradually presses the inner wall of the inner tube 44, forcing the axial inner end of the inner tube 44 to expand radially outward, which indirectly causes the axial inner end of the outer tube 43 to expand radially outward, thereby increasing the damping between the outer tube 43 and the connecting tube 3.

[0042] Furthermore, a plug 48 is provided at the outer end of the operating cavity b, which can effectively prevent water from entering the operating cavity b during normal use.

[0043] It should be noted that the connecting pipes 3 at two different positions are used in a standby manner and in a non-use state, and a plug 48 is provided at the outer end of the opening of the connecting pipe 3 in an idle state.

[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
