The lower end of the seat base plate 31 is hinged to the top ends of the second rod 22 and the third rod 23. The seat base plate 31 has a groove 311 with an opening. A removable plastic bag is provided in the groove 311. The clip 32 for limiting the displacement of the plastic bag is engaged in the groove 311. The clip 32 is provided with a removable movable panel 33.

[0027] In this embodiment, the hinge 24 facilitates the adjustment of the device, allowing it to function as both a stool and a cane. When the seat base plate 31 is perpendicular to the ground, the device is mainly supported by the first rod 21, which is the cane form. When the seat base plate 31 is parallel to the ground, it is supported by the first rod 21, the second rod 22, and the third rod 23, which is the stool form. A groove 311 is provided in the seat base plate 31, which facilitates the placement of an external plastic bag on the seat base plate 31. The plastic bag is then secured in the groove 311 by the clip 32. The user can sit on the seat base plate 31 to relieve themselves, and the plastic bag can be disposed of afterward. This greatly improves the efficiency of elderly people relieving themselves outdoors. At the same time, the opening in the groove 311 makes it convenient for the elderly to urinate and defecate while sitting on the stool.

[0028] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 To improve the working efficiency of the cane-shaped device, a handle 211 is connected to the top of the first rod 21, and the hinge 24 includes a first shaft 241 and a second shaft 242; the first shaft 241 is provided at the connection between the first rod 21, the second rod 22 and the third rod 23, and the second rod 22, the third rod 23 and the base plate 31 are connected by the second shaft 242.
