Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sanitary ware equipment technology, and more specifically, it relates to a horizontal sanitary ware compartment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, bathing provides relaxation for the elderly, both physically and mentally, and offers hygiene, health benefits, and therapeutic effects, while also accelerating blood circulation and promoting metabolism. However, bathing elderly people with limited mobility, patients, and people with disabilities presents a very heavy workload for caregivers. Providing bathing services for the elderly, patients, and people with disabilities requires ensuring their safe and convenient entry into the bathing facilities, preventing them from catching a cold during the process, and simultaneously prioritizing energy conservation and environmental protection. These are extremely demanding requirements, and such equipment is not yet available on the market.

[0003] As people's living standards improve, home bathing is receiving increasing attention. Especially in northern China, where the cold weather means that while most apartments have heating, hot water is often unavailable, causing considerable inconvenience for families. Gas water heaters, electric water heaters, and sauna boxes can solve some problems, but their low level of automation makes them less than ideal. Existing bath fixtures also suffer from poor overall sealing, preventing users from achieving optimal cleaning results while lying down – a current technological challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0025] Example:

[0026] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5As shown: This utility model provides a horizontal sanitary ware compartment, which includes a semi-arc plate 473, an end plate 471 and a base 472. The semi-arc plate 473 is arranged horizontally with its opening facing upward. The end plate 471 and the base 472 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the semi-arc plate 473. The top center of the end plate 471 at one end is provided with a through hole 66 for the circulation cleaning device pipe to pass through. The top center of the end plate 471 at the other end is provided with a semi-ring plate 479 for supporting the neck. Two symmetrical and rotatable arc plates 475 and 474 are respectively provided on the inner side of the semi-arc plate 473. The arc plate 474 is attached to the inner side of the arc plate 475.

[0027] Furthermore, the end plate 471 is provided with a pillow frame 61 and a circular hole 60 for connecting the exhaust pipe. The pillow frame 61 is located between the circular hole 60 and the semi-annular plate 479. Steam inside the chamber is discharged outside the chamber through the circular hole 60.

[0028] Furthermore, the arc plate 475 is attached to the inner wall of the semi-arc plate 473, and the two ends of the arc plate 475 are fixedly connected to the fan-shaped plate 477. One end of the fan-shaped plate 477 is provided with a hole that coincides with the through hole 66, and the other end of the fan-shaped plate 477 is provided with an arc-shaped opening that matches the semi-annular plate 479.

[0029] Furthermore, the second arc plate 474 is fitted inside the first arc plate 475. When the second arc plate 474 rotates upward, its lower outer side engages with the upper inner side of the first arc plate 475. Sector-shaped plates 478 are fixedly connected to both ends of the second arc plate 474. One end of the sector-shaped plate 478 has a hole that coincides with the through hole 66, and the other end has an arc-shaped opening that matches the semi-annular plate 479. The second arc plate 474 and the first arc plate 475 can rotate along the center of the through hole 66 to achieve a closing function.

[0030] Furthermore, sector plate 477 is located between sector plate 478 and end plate 471 and is attached to it.

[0031] Furthermore, a slide rail 476 is provided in the middle of the bottom of the second arc plate 474. The slide rail 476 is located between the second arc plate 474 and the first arc plate 475 and fits snugly. The slide rail 476 can slide in an arc along the inner wall of the semi-arc plate 473, and can lift the second arc plate 474 upward, thereby closing the sanitary ware compartment door.

[0032] Furthermore, a housing closure motor 64 is installed at the bottom outer side of the semi-arc plate 473, and two symmetrical pulleys 62 are installed at the middle section of the top of the semi-arc plate 473. The shaft of the housing closure motor 64 is connected to the bottom end of the slide rail 476 via a soft rope 63 that passes over the pulleys 62. When the housing closure motor 64 is started, pulling the soft rope 63 will lift the slide rail 476. At this time, the second arc plate 474 can rotate upward around the through hole 66, which will then drive the first arc plate 475 to rotate upward around the through hole 66 as well, finally closing the circuit. Figure 4As shown. The housing closing motor 64 is controlled by the PLC to rotate forward and backward, which can open or close the sanitary ware compartment door. When closing, the housing closing motor 64 rotates in reverse, and the arc plate 1 475 and arc plate 2 474 can fall and close under the action of gravity.

[0033] Hot water pipe and drain pipe are also installed at the bottom of the semi-circular plate 473. Hot water for bathing is sent into the sanitary ware compartment through the hot water pipe. The hot water is circulated and rinsed in the sanitary ware compartment through the circulating cleaning device to ensure that the user's whole body is clean. After rinsing, the water is discharged from the sanitary ware compartment through the drain pipe.

[0034] During cleaning, fumigation, and drying, the user is positioned on the support frame inside the outer casing. The casing closing motor 64 pulls the second arc plate 474 and the first arc plate 475 upward to rotate them. Once the casing is closed, the casing closing motor 64 stops working, and the outer casing is in a closed state. The user's head extends out of the outer casing 47, and a soft seal is provided around the neck to ensure that steam does not flow into the room but is instead discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe on the round hole 60.

[0035] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art.
