[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a rotatable shower stool, which makes it convenient for users sitting on the shower stool to turn around.

[0006] The above objective is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A rotatable shower stool includes a base plate and a seat plate. A support structure is provided at the bottom of the base plate, and a rotating structure is provided at the bottom of the seat plate. The seat plate is rotatably mounted on the base plate via the rotating structure. The rotating structure includes several rings of circular protrusions, with the circular protrusions of each ring spaced circumferentially.

[0008] In some embodiments, annular protrusions are provided at radial intervals on the bottom of the seat plate, and circular protrusions are provided at the bottom of the annular protrusions.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rotating structure includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs spaced apart circumferentially, each of the reinforcing ribs extending radially, the reinforcing ribs connecting the plurality of the annular protrusions together.

[0010] In some embodiments, the rotating structure includes a snap-fit ​​post disposed at the center of the bottom of the seat plate and a connecting hole formed on the base plate, wherein the snap-fit ​​post of the seat plate and the connecting hole of the base plate are rotatably connected together.

[0011] In some embodiments, a downwardly extending rim is provided at the edge of the seat plate, the lower end of which extends to near the middle of the base plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, the height of the support structure is adjustable.

[0013] In some embodiments, the support structure includes a crossbar and a support rod, with connecting rods extending downwards at both ends of the crossbar, and the connecting rods and the support rods being connected.

[0014] In some embodiments, an anti-slip pad is provided at the bottom of the support rod.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model provides a rotatable shower stool, which makes it convenient for users sitting on the shower stool to turn around. Attached Figure Description

[0017] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the shower stool in the embodiment;

[0018] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the shower stool in the embodiment. Figure 1 ;

[0019] Figure 3 This is an exploded view of the shower stool in the embodiment. Figure 2 ;

[0020] Figure 4 This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the seat plate. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following embodiments illustrate the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Modifications to the specific implementation of the present invention or equivalent substitutions for some technical features, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, should all be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by the present invention.

[0022] Example 1: As Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a rotatable shower stool, including a base plate 1 and a seat plate 2. A support structure 3 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 1, and a rotating structure is provided at the bottom of the seat plate 2. The seat plate 2 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 1 through the rotating structure. The rotating structure includes several circles of circular protrusions 21, and the circular protrusions 21 in each circle are spaced apart circumferentially.

[0023] This embodiment provides a rotatable shower stool, where the seat 2 can rotate flexibly relative to the base plate 1, facilitating the user's turn-around while seated. During showering, users with mobility issues can sit on the rotatable seat 2, supported by several circular protrusions 21. These protrusions allow the seat 2 to rotate relative to the base plate 1, enabling the user to turn around without the need for armrests, resulting in a better user experience.

[0024] In this embodiment, annular protrusions 22 are provided at radial intervals at the bottom of the seat plate 2, and circular protrusions 21 are provided at the bottom of the annular protrusions 22. The structure is simple and the design is reasonable. The above design can make the force on the seat plate 2 more uniform, the user sits on the seat plate 2 more stably, and the rotation of the seat plate 2 is smoother, so as to improve the user experience.

[0025] Furthermore, the rotating structure includes several reinforcing ribs 23 spaced apart along the circumference. Each reinforcing rib 23 extends radially and connects several annular protrusions 22 together. Its structure is simple and reasonably designed, which can improve the overall structural strength of the seat plate 2, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the seat plate 3.

[0026] Furthermore, the rotating structure includes a snap-fit ​​post 24 located at the center of the bottom of the seat plate 2 and a connecting hole 11 opened on the base plate 1. The snap-fit ​​post 24 of the seat plate 2 and the connecting hole 11 of the base plate 1 are rotatably connected together. Its structure is simple and reasonably designed, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the seat plate 2 and the base plate 1, and avoiding the situation where the seat plate 2 and the base plate 1 easily become loose, which helps to improve the safety and reliability of the product.

[0027] Preferably, the edge of the seat plate 2 is provided with a downwardly extending rim 25, the lower end of which extends to near the middle of the base plate 1. The rotatable seat plate 2 adopts an arc-shaped semi-enclosed rim structure, which not only does not affect its rotation relative to the base plate 1, but also effectively prevents the risk of skin or meat being pinched, thus improving the safety of product use.

[0028] More preferably, the height of the support structure 3 is adjustable, and its design is reasonable, so as to meet the different usage needs of more users and improve the user experience.

[0029] In this embodiment, the support structure 3 includes a crossbar 31 and a support rod 32. Connecting rods 33 extending downward are respectively provided at both ends of the crossbar 31. The connecting rods 33 and the support rods 32 are connected. The structure is simple, the overall structure of the support structure 3 is reasonable, and the structural strength is high.

[0030] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad 4 is provided at the bottom of the support rod 32. Its structure is simple. The anti-slip pad 4 helps to improve the anti-slip performance of the product and prevents users from slipping when using the shower stool of this embodiment.

[0031] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
