Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of toilets for visually impaired people, and more specifically, relates to a public toilet suitable for visually impaired people. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the independent travel of visually impaired individuals has received widespread attention from all sectors of society, and many facilities and equipment have been introduced in various fields such as public transportation to facilitate their use. Solving the problem of independent toilet use in public places is a crucial aspect of addressing the challenges faced by visually impaired individuals. Currently, while the design of accessible restrooms in public places takes into account the difficulties of travel for visually impaired individuals, the facilities and equipment for independent use by visually impaired individuals in these restrooms are still insufficient, and many safety hazards remain when visually impaired individuals use public toilets independently.

[0003] People with visual impairments are not completely blind; they simply have limited ability to exert force, making it difficult for them to quickly distinguish objects visually. For example, when using public restrooms, their limited vision may prevent them from locating the toilets and various bathroom facilities, leading to accidental touches or bumps in the dim light. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a public restroom suitable for visually impaired individuals, thus solving the problems of safety hazards and accidental bumps and knocks that still exist when visually impaired individuals use the toilet independently in public restrooms.

[0006] The restroom is equipped with a sensor-activated automatic door and a voice broadcast module, which broadcasts the status of the automatic door and the restroom.

[0007] A safety grab bar is installed next to the bathroom fixtures and is provided with Braille, which includes at least the name of the corresponding bathroom fixture.

[0008] A flexible decorative layer is applied to bathroom fixtures and safety grab bars, and the flexible decorative layer is different in color from the interior decoration of the bathroom.

[0009] Optionally, the interior of the bathroom is a single first color, and the flexible decorative layer is a second color that is clearly distinguishable from the first color.

[0010] Optionally, an alarm module is installed in the bathroom, and an audible and visual alarm unit electrically connected to the alarm module is installed on the automatic door.

[0011] Optionally, the entrance to the restroom is also equipped with tactile paving for the visually impaired.

[0012] Optionally, a three-dimensional light box is also installed at the entrance of the restroom.

[0013] Optionally, the bathroom fixtures are arranged sequentially along the inner wall of the bathroom without vertical overlap, and each bathroom fixture has a corresponding text label above it.

[0014] Optionally, the text label is in the form of a plate.

[0015] Optionally, the safety grab bars are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bathroom facility.

[0016] This utility model provides a public restroom suitable for visually impaired people, and its beneficial effects are as follows:

[0017] This public restroom, designed for visually impaired individuals, uses a voice broadcast module to announce the opening and closing status of the automatic doors and whether the restroom is occupied. A safety grab bar combined with a flexible decorative layer helps visually impaired individuals locate the bathroom facilities. The location of the bathroom facilities is highlighted by colors and brightness, and Braille descriptions are provided to confirm that the correct bathroom facility has been found.

[0023] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present invention more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a public restroom suitable for visually impaired individuals includes:

[0025] The bathroom is equipped with a sensor-operated automatic door 5 and a voice broadcast module, which announces the status of the automatic door 5 and the bathroom.

[0026] Safety grab bar 1 is installed next to the bathroom facility. The safety grab bar 1 is equipped with Braille, which includes at least the name of the corresponding bathroom facility.

[0027] A flexible finishing layer is applied to the bathroom fixtures and safety grab bar 1. The flexible finishing layer is different from the interior color of the bathroom.

[0028] Specifically, the voice broadcast module announces the opening and closing status of the automatic door 5 and whether the bathroom is occupied, such as reminding visually impaired individuals to "open the door carefully," "Danger, do not approach," and "Occupied." The safety grab bar 1, combined with a flexible decorative layer, helps visually impaired individuals locate bathroom facilities. The location of the facilities is highlighted through color and brightness distinctions, and Braille descriptions are provided to confirm the correct facility is being found. The flexible decorative layer cushions bumps and the bathroom's color differentiation enhances visibility.

[0029] Furthermore, a flexible decorative layer of foam or rubber can be used to cover the safety grab bar to avoid the Braille area. The outline of the bathroom facilities and text signs can be drawn to avoid groping and bumping, and to prevent the outline from being conspicuous.

[0030] In this embodiment, the bathroom interior is a single first color, and the flexible finishing layer is a second color that is clearly distinguishable from the first color.

[0031] Specifically, bathroom facilities are marked with colors to make them easier for visually impaired people to find and use.

[0032] Furthermore, due to the different causes of visual impairment, it is mainly marked by the brightness of colors, that is, the difference in brightness after various colors have been processed into grayscale, which is suitable for use in different forms of color blindness and color weakness.

[0033] In this embodiment, an alarm module is installed in the bathroom, and an audible and visual alarm unit electrically connected to the alarm module is installed on the automatic door 5.

[0034] Specifically, the alarm module triggers the audible and visual alarm unit, which then alerts service personnel that the corresponding restroom needs assistance. At the same time, the audible and visual alarm unit is connected to the central monitoring room to trigger a coordinated alarm.

[0035] In this embodiment, a tactile paving path 2 is also provided at the entrance of the restroom.

[0036] Specifically, tactile paving 2 is used for navigation.

[0037] In this embodiment, a three-dimensional light box 3 is also installed at the entrance of the bathroom.

[0038] Specifically, the markings are indicated by a 3D light box 3, which protrudes outwards to accommodate various angles.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bathroom facilities are arranged sequentially along the inner wall of the bathroom without vertical overlap, and each bathroom facility has a corresponding text label 4 above it.

[0040] Specifically, each bathroom facility is marked with text labels to facilitate location and avoid interference between visually impaired users by ensuring that the labels do not overlap.

[0041] In this embodiment, the text label 4 is plate-shaped.

[0042] In this embodiment, the safety grab bars 1 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bathroom facility.

[0043] Specifically, the safety grab bar 1 provides convenient gripping and, in conjunction with Braille, allows for identification of the corresponding bathroom fixtures, eliminating the need to directly touch the fixtures themselves and preventing accidental water valve activation.

[0044] This embodiment describes the use of a public restroom for visually impaired individuals, taking the use of a single restroom as an example:

[0045] The entrance to the restroom is equipped with tactile paving 2 and a three-dimensional light box 3. Inside, various bathroom facilities are arranged sequentially from the left side of the automatic door 5 inward and then from the right side outward, such as a washbasin, urinal and toilet. Safety grab bars 1 are installed on both sides of each bathroom facility, and text signs 4 are also installed above the corresponding walls.

[0046] When in use, the flexible decorative layer makes the safety grab bar 1 and each bathroom facility stand out prominently, thus avoiding collisions caused by the indistinct color of the bathroom facilities and the background color of the bathroom. It also makes it easier to locate and find them.

[0047] The various embodiments of the present invention have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
