At the same time, the rear end of the top shower plate 3 is hinged on the mounting frame 1, so that the top shower plate 3 is conveniently swung down and flipped after use, so as to fold the top shower plate 3. Both sides of the mounting frame 1 are movably connected with a support bracket 5 and a lifting bracket 4. One end of the support bracket 5 is rotatably connected to the side of the mounting frame 1 through a rotating shaft. When the support bracket 5 is in use, it is horizontal. When the support bracket 5 is flipped, it is vertical. A plurality of side spray heads 18 and a handle ring 19 are hinged on the adjacent side surfaces of the two lifting brackets 4. Through the setting of the handle ring 19, the handle ring 19 can be folded and stored. After use, , flip the handle ring 19 upward into the lifting bracket 4, so that the lifting bracket 4 can flip normally, and the handle ring 19 can support the arms of the elderly or disabled, so that others can bathe the elderly or disabled. When a person sits on the folding seat 7, the side nozzle 18 can be used to spray water to bathe the side of the person, and the lifting bracket 4 has the function of height adjustment, which improves the practicality of the device. The left and right sides of the mounting frame 1 are provided with second slide grooves 15, and the two lifting brackets 4 slide and rise and fall in the second slide grooves 15 respectively. The front of the mounting frame 1 is provided with two opposite mounting grooves 2, and the interiors of the two mounting grooves 2 are respectively provided with lifting mechanisms for adjusting the lifting of the lifting bracket 4. The heights of the two lifting brackets 4 can be adjusted respectively by the lifting mechanism, so that it is suitable for people of different heights, and the operation is more convenient. The machinery, parts and equipment in this device all adopt conventional models in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the folding seat 7 includes a backrest fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 1 and a support seat hinged at the bottom end of the backrest, and a support leg is hinged at the front end of the bottom of the support seat. Through the arrangement of the above structure, the safety of the elderly or disabled people when bathing can be provided. When bathing is completed, the support legs are flipped to the bottom of the support seat, and then the support seat is flipped to the backrest.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the hanging mechanism includes a first slide groove 12 opened on the left and right sides of the mounting frame 1 and a sliding plate 13 that is lifted and slid between the two first slide grooves 12. The middle part of the sliding plate 13 is fixedly connected with a second holder 14 for fixing the shower head 6. Through the setting of the above structure, the shower head 6 can be hung on the second holder 14 to improve the flexibility of using the shower head 6.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, both ends of the sliding plate 13 are threadedly connected with fasteners, and both ends of the sliding plate 13 are fixed to the side of the mounting frame 1 through the fasteners, and the height of the sliding plate 13 can be adjusted by screwing the fasteners.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, each support bracket 5 is hinged on the side of the mounting frame 1, and a first holder 11 is installed on the side of the two support brackets 5, and the shower head 6 is inserted into the first holder 11, so that the bather can hang the shower head 6 on one side of the support bracket 5, which is convenient for the bather to take and use, and is more convenient to use.

[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, a fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the back of the mounting frame 1, and the fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the wall by a plurality of screws, thereby ensuring the stability of the mounting frame 1, and the bottom end of the fixing bracket can also support the device.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a fixed frame 9 fixedly connected to the mounting groove 2 and a lifting plate 17 slidably arranged in the fixed frame 9, so that the lifting plate 17 can slide up and down in the fixed frame 9, and a fixing rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 17, and one end of the fixing rod 10 passes through the second slide groove 15 and the lifting bracket 4 in sequence and is threadedly connected with a locking nut 16, and the locking nut 16 is screwed on the surface of the lifting bracket 4. When the lifting bracket 4 needs to be flipped down and folded, it only needs to rotate the locking nut 16 to release the fixing of the lifting bracket 4, so that the lifting bracket 4 can swing downward on the surface of the fixing rod 10, so that the device occupies a small space after folding, and the lifting bracket 4 can be lifted. A fixing handle 20 extending to the outside of the mounting groove 2 is fixedly connected to the front of the plate 17, and a locking handle 21 for locking the lifting plate 17 is installed on the side of the fixing frame 9, and the locking handle 21 extends to the outside of the mounting frame 1. Through the above-mentioned structural setting, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the lifting support 4, it is only necessary to pull the locking handle 21 downward so that one end of the locking handle 21 moves the lifting plate 17 upward, and one end of the locking handle 21 is separated from the lifting plate 17, and the fixing handle 20 can be slid to make the lifting plate 17 slide in the fixing frame 9. After the adjustment is completed, the locking handle 21 can be released to automatically position and fix the lifting plate 17.

[0031] like Figure 3 , Figure 6As shown, the side of the lifting plate 17 is provided with equidistantly arranged card slots, the middle part of the locking handle 21 is fixedly connected with a torsion spring shaft 8, and the two ends of the torsion spring shaft 8 are rotatably connected to the side of the fixing frame 9, and the bottom end of the locking handle 21 is inserted into the card slot of the lifting plate 17. Through the setting of the above structure, when the locking handle 21 is released, the torsion spring elastic force of the torsion spring shaft 8 can be used to automatically insert one end of the locking handle 21 into the card slot of the lifting plate 17 to fix the lifting bracket 4.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, two ends of the fixed handle 20 are respectively located above the fixed frame 9 and inside the fixed frame 9 , so that the fixed handle 20 can limit the lifting plate 17 .

[0033] The working principle and use process of the utility model are as follows: when an elderly person or a disabled person is bathing, he / she leans on the folding seat 7 and uses the shower head 6 to wash. The side spray head 18 can also be used to wash the person from the side. When others are bathing the person, the bathing person holds the hand ring 19 so that others can fully wash the bathing person. When the height of the side washing needs to be adjusted, the locking handle 21 can be pulled down to release the positioning of the lifting plate 17, and then the fixed handle 20 can be held and slid to adjust the height of the lifting support 4. After the adjustment is completed, Loosening the locking handle 21 automatically fixes the lifting plate 17, and the operation is more convenient. When the person finishes bathing, the folding seat 7 is folded and stored upward, the two support brackets 5 are swung upward and folded, and the top shower plate 3 is swung downward and folded, and finally the handle ring 19 is stored in the lifting bracket 4, and then the locking nut 16 is rotated to release the fixation of the lifting bracket 4, and the lifting bracket 4 is swung downward and folded, so that the folded shower occupies less space, so that the bathroom space is reasonably utilized, the practicality of the device is improved, and the device is more flexible and convenient when used.
