[0033] The following is a clear and complete description of the technical solution of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "middle", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. 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 direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Example 1

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a coverable toilet bowl with an auxiliary rod includes a basin body 1, an openable and closable basin cover 2 is provided on the top of the basin body 1, a horizontal telescopic rod 3 is provided on the side of the basin body 1, the horizontal telescopic rod 3 is connected to the bottom plate of the basin body 1, the end of the horizontal telescopic rod 3 is provided with a corner joint seat 4, the corner joint seat 4 is connected to a vertical telescopic rod 5, and the upper end of the vertical telescopic rod 5 is provided with a grippable handle 6.

[0036] The coverable bedpan with an auxiliary rod has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture and use, and can help patients and people at home or in hospitals who are bedridden for a long time due to illness or other reasons and are unable to squat to defecate on their own to defecate, thereby reducing the safety risks caused by repeated squatting for their caregivers and enhancing the privacy of the use and storage of the bedpan.

[0037] The basin 1 is the primary carrier for excrement and is typically placed under a bed. The horizontal telescopic rod 3 allows for easy pushing and pulling of the basin under the bed. The vertical telescopic rod 5 facilitates the caregiver's ability to move the basin while standing, eliminating the need for frequent squatting and standing, reducing energy consumption. This significantly reduces the burden of caregiving for elderly caregivers and avoids potential safety hazards. Whether in the hospital or at home, some patients are often cared for by family members, often elders or spouses. These caregivers are often physically challenged and, while caring for the patient, also need to consider their own comfort and safety. The use of this toilet tray can significantly enhance the comfort of both the caregiver and the caregiver.

[0038] While this toilet pan has additional components, such as a lid, vertical and horizontal telescopic rods, and a higher cost compared to traditional toilet pans, it is still very user-friendly compared to more advanced smart toilet pans, meeting basic care needs without incurring a significant financial burden. The shape and size of the toilet pan can be customized based on actual needs and are not limited to the ones shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0039] The arrangement of the basin cover 2 can temporarily cover the basin body 1, thereby reducing odor escape and causing little pollution to the surrounding air.

[0040] The horizontal telescopic rod 3 and the vertical telescopic rod 5 are usually used in combination. The two can form a right-angle telescopic rod, which can be adjusted in length horizontally and vertically respectively. The basin can be placed on the ground or other required places, which is also convenient to use.

[0041] The corner joint seat 4 has connection ports 401 in two directions, which can be connected to the horizontal telescopic rod 3 and the vertical telescopic rod 5 respectively, and then fixed with connectors such as screws, round nuts or clamps to connect the two telescopic rods together; the corner joint seat, the horizontal telescopic rod and the vertical telescopic rod can all be mature products available on the market.

[0042] The corner joint seat 4 can be used as a support while connecting the horizontal telescopic rod and the vertical telescopic rod. After the horizontal telescopic rod is pulled out, the corner joint seat is supported on the ground to prevent the bedpan from tipping over.

[0043] Furthermore, an accommodating cavity 101 is provided in the bottom plate of the basin body 1 , and at least one section of the horizontal telescopic rod 3 is installed in the accommodating cavity 101 . The accommodating cavity 101 is located in the middle of the bottom plate.

[0044] The arrangement of the receiving cavity 101 not only effectively connects to the horizontal telescopic rod 3, but also avoids occupying the internal receiving space of the basin body 1, thereby maintaining a smooth and regular structure inside the basin body 1 for accommodating excrement and subsequent cleaning. Placing it in the middle ensures that the force is evenly distributed during pushing and pulling, preventing bias to either side and preventing tipping.

[0045] Furthermore, the maximum extension length of the horizontal telescopic rod 3 is equivalent to half the width of a conventional nursing bed, hospital bed or home bed. By designing the length of the horizontal telescopic rod 3, while controlling its length, the toilet pan can also be moved to any area under the bed. The width of nursing beds and hospital beds is usually 80-100 cm, and the width of home beds has multiple sizes such as 1.2 m, 1.5 m, and 1.8 m. According to the general models of such beds, different lengths of (multi-level) telescopic rods can be formulated, that is, multiple models of telescopic toilet pans can be provided for consumers to use.

[0046] The extended length of the vertical telescopic rod 5 is equivalent to the height of a normal adult's hand from the ground when standing naturally, ensuring that the vertical telescopic rod can be used by an adult while standing. When retracted, the height of the vertical telescopic rod 5 does not exceed the height of the basin body 1. The vertical telescopic rod section exposed to the outside when retracted is attached with a grip 6, which facilitates the removal of the bedpan, excrement cleaning, and adjustment of the telescopic rod.

[0047] In some embodiments, the outer periphery of the horizontal telescopic rod 3 and the vertical telescopic rod 5 are each provided with scale markings 7. These scale markings 7 help the user determine their length, ensuring that the extension is the appropriate length. Accurate length control can sometimes facilitate accurate placement of the toilet pan when the pan is not visible.

[0048] In some embodiments, the vertical telescopic rod 5 is a telescopic rod with a button, and the button 8 is located above the grip 6. The telescopic rod with a button can be a mature product available on the market, such as a telescopic rod similar to that on a single-rod suitcase. By pressing the button, the pin inside the telescopic rod is released to adjust the telescopic position, and after the adjustment is completed, the pin is automatically reset and locked by releasing the button.

[0049] Furthermore, the grippable handle 6 has a contoured gripping portion, and the contoured gripping portion is provided with anti-slip lines or an anti-slip cover, so that the user can reliably grip the grippable handle with a good hand feel.

[0050] Furthermore, a plurality of restraining members 12 are provided on the outer side of the basin edge of the basin body 1, and the restraining members 12 are used to connect and restrain the garbage bag; the restraining members 12 are one of bag clips, rings and hooks.

[0051] Furthermore, a handle 9 is provided on the basin cover 2 to facilitate opening and closing the basin cover 2; one side of the basin cover 2 is connected to the basin body via a rotating shaft or a hinge, and the other side is provided with a fastener, which includes a male buckle 11 and a female buckle 10, which are respectively provided on the edges of the basin body 1 and the basin cover 2 to temporarily lock the basin cover. Example 2

[0052] This embodiment provides a restraining member for fixing a garbage bag and another method for fixing a basin cover.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the hook member 13 includes a fixing base 1301 disposed on the outside of the basin rim. A rotatable retractable hook 1302 is connected to the fixing base 1301 via a small shaft. The retractable hook 1302 is shaped like a hook and extends downward from the connection point of the outside of the basin rim of the basin body 1, a distance less than the length of the basin rim. The retractable hook 1302 can be reversibly fastened to the basin rim to ensure that the garbage bag can be secured when used. In addition to securing the garbage bag, the hook member 13 can also be used to hang the basin body under a bed.

[0054] Furthermore, the basin cover 2 and the basin body 1 can be connected by magnetic attraction. For example, magnets 14 are respectively embedded between the lower surface of the basin cover 2 and the upper end surface of the basin body 1, and the locking is completed by adsorption of the magnets 14. This connection method is also relatively simple and easy to open. In this case, the basin cover can be easily removed from the basin body.

[0055] The utility model can reflect its practicality and practical significance from the following aspects:

[0056] (1) Considerations for patients’ mental health: Assisting patients and people at home or in the hospital who are bedridden for a long time or who are unable to squat to defecate due to illness or other reasons is often accompanied by problems of damaged self-esteem and low mood. The inconvenience and discomfort of traditional bedpans may aggravate this psychological pressure and affect the patient’s recovery process and quality of life. Humanized and easy-to-use bedpans can not only improve the patient’s physical comfort, but also alleviate their psychological burden to a certain extent and promote the recovery of their mental health.

[0057] (2) Importance of infection control: Cross infection is a problem that cannot be ignored in hospitals and nursing homes. Traditional bedpans cannot effectively isolate excrement, increasing the risk of transmission of microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, posing a threat to the health and safety of patients and other personnel. The non-contact bedpan of this application can reduce the risk of infection.

[0058] (3) Social aging trend: The elderly are the main users of bedpans. As the aging of society continues to intensify, the proportion of the elderly population continues to rise, and the demand for medical care resources also increases. The elderly are often accompanied by more chronic diseases and physical function deterioration. The bedpan with auxiliary rods in this application is suitable for use by the elderly and is highly comfortable. It is of great significance to alleviate the pressure of social elderly care and improve the quality of life of the elderly.

[0059] (4) Rehabilitation of certain patients: Good excretion care is crucial to the patient's recovery process. A properly designed bedpan can reduce the discomfort and pain of patients during defecation, which is conducive to physical recovery and functional reconstruction.

[0060] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
