[0036] For the convenience of explanation, in this embodiment, each direction is as follows Figure 1 shown.

[0037] In the seat assembly provided in this embodiment, the first seat tube 2 is located in front of the second seat tube 3, the rear end of the armrest 4 is rotatably connected to the second seat tube 3, and the front end of the armrest 4 is detachably connected to the first seat tube 2. When the user needs to leave the seat, the armrest 4 can be pulled out from the first seat tube 2 and then rotated backward around the second seat tube 3, thereby opening up the space on the side of the seat. In addition to leaving from the front of the seat, the user can also leave from the side of the seat, which is more convenient to use.

[0038] In some embodiments, the seat assembly further includes a rotating sleeve 5 and a fixed sleeve 6, the rotating sleeve 5 is sleeved on the second seat tube 3, the fixed sleeve 6 is sleeved on the first seat tube 2, one end of the armrest 4 is connected to the rotating sleeve 5, and the other end of the armrest 4 is detachably connected to the fixed sleeve 6. Specifically, the rotating sleeve 5 is located on the rear side of the fixed sleeve 6, the rear end of the armrest 4 is connected to the rotating sleeve 5, and the front end of the armrest 4 is inserted into the fixed sleeve 6. When the user needs to leave the seat, the front end of the armrest 4 can be pulled out of the fixed sleeve 6, and then the armrest 4 can be rotated backward around the second seat tube 3, thereby opening the space on the side of the seat, making it more convenient to use.

[0039] In some embodiments, the seat assembly also includes a limiting column 7, and the rotating sleeve 5 is provided with a limiting hole 51. The limiting hole 51 is arranged along the circumference of the rotating sleeve 5. One end of the limiting column 7 is connected to the seat tube, and the other end of the limiting column 7 passes through the limiting hole 51. Specifically, the limiting column 7 is arranged from back to front, which can limit the rotation range of the armrest 4, prevent the armrest 4 from rotating too far backward, making it difficult for the user to grab the armrest 4, and make it more convenient to use.

[0040] In some embodiments, the length of the limiting hole 51 is half of the circumference of the rotating sleeve 5. It can be understood that the rotating sleeve 5 can only rotate backward 180 degrees under the action of the limiting column 7. The design is more reasonable and more convenient to use.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first seat tube 2 includes a first seat frame tube 21 and a first adjustment tube 22, the first seat frame tube 21 is connected to the bottom of the seat plate 1, and the first adjustment tube 22 is movably connected to the first seat frame tube 21, and the second seat tube 3 includes a second seat frame tube 31 and a second adjustment tube 32, the second seat frame tube 31 is connected to the bottom of the seat plate 1, and the second adjustment tube 32 is movably connected to the second seat frame tube 31, the rotating sleeve 5 is sleeved on the second adjustment tube 32, and the fixed sleeve 6 is sleeved on the first adjustment tube 22. It can be understood that the first seat tube 2 and the second seat tube 3 are both retractable structures, which can adjust the distance between the armrests 4 on both sides, so that they can adapt to users of different body shapes, have better adaptability, and are more convenient to use.

[0042] In some embodiments, the seat assembly also includes a locking buckle 8, a locking member 9 and an elastic member. The locking member 9 is inserted into the first adjustment tube 22 along the axial direction of the first adjustment tube 22. The locking member 9 is movably connected to the first adjustment tube 22 through the elastic member. The locking member 9 is provided with a locking hole 91. The locking hole 91 passes through the locking member 9 in the vertical direction. The inner diameter of the locking hole 91 gradually decreases along the axial direction of the first adjustment tube 22. The locking buckle 8 is connected to the end of the armrest 4. The locking buckle 8 can pass through the locking hole 91 and be clamped to the edge of the locking hole 91.

[0043] Specifically, taking the first adjusting tube 22 located on the left side as an example, the locking piece 9 is located on the left side of the first adjusting tube 22, and the inner diameter of the locking hole 91 gradually decreases from left to right. The locking piece 9 is connected to the first adjusting tube 22 by an elastic piece, for example, by a spring connection, so that the locking piece 9 can move in the left and right directions. During normal use, the locking buckle 8 is clamped on the right edge of the locking hole 91, and the elastic force of the elastic piece can make the locking buckle 8 maintain a tendency to move to the left, driving the locking buckle 8 to tightly engage the locking piece 9. The front end of the armrest 4 is tightly stuck together. At this time, the front end of the armrest 4 cannot leave the first adjusting tube 22. When the user needs to pull out the front end of the armrest 4, he presses the locking piece 9 to move the locking piece 9 to the right, so that the locking buckle 8 moves relatively to the area with a larger inner diameter on the left side of the locking hole 91. At this time, the locking buckle 8 can move upward to leave the locking hole 91, that is, the front end of the armrest 4 can leave the first adjusting tube 22, thereby opening the space on the side of the seat, and the user can leave from the side of the seat, which is more convenient to use.

[0044] In some embodiments, the locking hole 91 has a teardrop shape, and the locking buckle 8 is provided with a locking groove 81, which is engaged with the edge of the locking hole 91 close to the seat plate 1. Specifically, the locking member 9 can be engaged with the locking groove 81, thereby preventing the locking buckle 8 from leaving the first adjustment tube 22, and the overall structure is more stable.

[0045] In some embodiments, the lower end of the locking buckle 8 is conical in shape. When the front end of the armrest 4 needs to be installed to the first adjustment tube 22, the conical design allows the locking buckle 8 to more easily enter the locking hole 91, making it more convenient to use.

[0046] In some embodiments, the armrest 4 has a U-shaped shape and a stable structure.

[0047] In some embodiments, the seat assembly further includes a backrest 10 , which is connected to the seat plate 1 and can be used for a user to lean on.

[0048] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention further provides a bathing chair, comprising a support frame 11 and the above-mentioned seat assembly, wherein the seat assembly is arranged on the support frame 11. The bathing chair in this embodiment adopts the above-mentioned seat assembly, which is more convenient to use.
