Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing technology, and in particular to a toilet seat. Background Technology

[0002] Portable toilets, also known as portable toilets, are toilets equipped with an independent inner tub that is easy to clean and move. For families with people with mobility impairments, portable toilets provide a more convenient and safer excretion solution. In medical institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes, and senior care facilities, portable toilets are also commonly used for patient excretion care. In short, portable toilets are a convenient and practical sanitary facility that can meet the excretion needs of different people in various situations.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a toilet (authorization announcement number CN219438943U). When in use, the support block provides support for the elderly person's hands or arms, and the drive structure drives the support block to move up and down to assist the elderly person in getting up or sitting.

[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned and existing related technologies, the inventors believe that the following defects often exist: Traditional commodes are usually suitable for patients who can get out of bed and move around. However, in medical and nursing practice, when patients are post-operative or have difficulty moving their limbs, the process of moving from the bed to the commode is extremely difficult and can easily cause pain in the affected area due to unnecessary movement. As a result, commodes cannot be used by patients who cannot get out of bed and move around. This undoubtedly limits the scope of application of commodes, reduces their convenience, and cannot better serve those patients with limited mobility. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing technology has the disadvantage of patients having difficulty moving and excreting. Therefore, we propose a toilet.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a toilet, including a toilet seat, a semi-circular retaining plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the toilet seat, a toilet bowl inserted into the inner wall of the semi-circular retaining plate, a housing fixedly connected to all four sides of the bottom of the toilet seat, a threaded rod connected to one side of the bottom end of the housing, a support leg slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing, a plurality of holes and slots opened on one side of the support leg, a disc fixedly connected to both sides of the toilet seat, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the center of the disc via a rotating shaft, a load-bearing plate fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod, and the width of the load-bearing plate gradually decreasing from one side to the other side.

[0007] Preferably, both ends of one side of the toilet seat are fixedly connected to extension plates, and one side of the extension plate is connected to a leg support plate through a T-shaped groove. The two leg support plates are structured to expand outwards.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the disc has several circular holes, a three-bar insert plate is inserted through one side of the rotating rod, a spring is fixedly connected to one side of the three-bar insert plate, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the rotating rod.

[0009] Preferably, the toilet seat has a groove inside, and a counterweight block is slidably connected inside the groove.

[0010] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly connected to the top of the toilet seat, the baffle being arc-shaped, and a guide plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the toilet seat.

[0011] Preferably, a soft pad is fixedly connected to the top of the load-bearing plate, and a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slot.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] In this invention, the user pulls the outriggers out of the outer shell and then twists the insert rod to insert it into the slot, allowing the height of the outer shell and outriggers to be freely adjusted. After adjusting the toilet seat to the same height as the patient's bed surface, the load-bearing plate can be rotated to the top of the nursing bed via the rotating rod and the rotating connection of the disc. At this time, medical staff can then drag the cancer patient who has difficulty getting out of bed, so that the patient's waist and back are placed on the top of the load-bearing plate and the buttocks are placed at the bottom of the toilet seat, forming a lying support for the patient. The patient's upper body is lying on the bed and the lower body and buttocks are sitting on the top of the toilet seat. When the patient's buttocks are placed on the toilet seat to defecate, the feces fall down through the toilet seat's drain outlet into the bedpan for collection. The bedpan can then be pulled forward to be removed from the semi-circular retaining plate for subsequent cleaning. This allows the patient to defecate in a lying position, reducing the pain caused by moving out of bed to defecate, and is suitable for patients who are unable to get out of bed to defecate due to cancer or other causes.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a toilet, including a toilet seat 1, a semi-circular retaining plate 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the toilet seat 1, a bedpan 3 inserted into the inner wall of the semi-circular retaining plate 2, a housing 4 fixedly connected to all four sides of the bottom of the toilet seat 1, a threaded rod 5 connected to one side of the bottom end of the housing 4, a support leg 6 slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 4, a plurality of slots 7 opened on one side of the support leg 6, a disc 8 fixedly connected to both sides of the toilet seat 1, a rotating rod 9 rotatably connected to the middle of the disc 8 via a rotating shaft, a load-bearing plate 10 fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating rod 9, the width of the load-bearing plate 10 gradually narrowing from one side to the other side, allowing the user to pull the support leg 6 out of the housing 4 and then twist the insert rod 5 to insert it into the slot 7, so that the height of the housing 4 and the support leg 6 can be freely adjusted, and the toilet seat 1 can be adjusted to be level with the patient's bed surface. After reaching the desired height, the rotating rod 9 connects to the rotating disc 8, allowing the load-bearing plate 10 to rotate to the top of the nursing bed. At this point, medical staff can then move the cancer patient who has difficulty getting out of bed, positioning the patient's waist and back on top of the load-bearing plate 10 and their buttocks on the bottom of the toilet seat 1, providing support for the patient's lying position. This allows the patient's upper body to lie on the bed while their lower body and buttocks sit on top of the toilet seat 1. When the patient urinates with their buttocks on the toilet seat 1, the feces fall through the outlet of the toilet seat 1 into the bedpan 3 for collection. The bedpan 3 can then be pulled forward to be removed from the semi-circular retaining plate 2 for subsequent cleaning. This allows the patient to defecate while lying down, reducing the pain caused by getting out of bed to defecate, and is suitable for patients who are unable to get out of bed to defecate due to cancer or other causes.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown in this embodiment: extension plates 11 are fixedly connected to both ends of one side of the toilet seat 1. A leg support plate 12 is inserted into one side of the extension plate 11 through a T-shaped groove. The two leg support plates 12 are structured to expand outwards. After the user inserts the leg support plate 12 along the T-shaped groove of the extension plate 11, the leg support plate 12 and the toilet seat 1 are in a horizontal state. At this time, the patient can place his / her legs at the bottom of the leg support plate 12, so that the leg support plate 12 supports the patient's legs and the patient is in a flat position. At the same time, the insertion of the leg support plate 12 and the extension plate 11 makes it easy for staff to disassemble and install the leg support plate 12, reducing the space occupied by the device and making it easier to store.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment: The surface of the disc 8 has several circular holes 13. A three-bar insert 14 is inserted through one side of the rotating rod 9. A spring 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the three-bar insert 14, and the other end of the spring 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 9. When the patient can get out of bed to defecate, the rotating rod 9 and the disc 8 are connected by rotation, allowing the load-bearing plate 10 to rotate to a position perpendicular to the toilet seat 1. Then, the spring 15 connects the rotating rod 9 and the three-bar insert 14, allowing the bottom and top of the three-bar insert 14 to be pulled out from inside the circular holes 13. Simultaneously, the three-bar insert... 14 pulls the spring 15 to extend and store force. When the user releases the three-bar insert 14, the spring 15 will rebound and pull the three-bar insert 14, so that the long rods at the bottom and top of the three-bar insert 14 are inserted into the round hole 13. At the same time, the rotating rod 9 is placed in the middle position of the three-bar insert 14, which restricts the rotation angle of the load-bearing plate 10, so that the load-bearing plate 10 forms a backrest. When the patient sits on the top of the toilet seat 1 to defecate, it provides support for the patient's back, making the patient more comfortable when defecate in a sitting position. At the same time, the adjustability of the load-bearing plate 10 can also reduce the space occupied by this device.

[0023] Reference Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: the toilet seat 1 has a sliding groove 16 inside, and a counterweight block 17 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 16. After the user pushes the counterweight block 17 upward to retract into the sliding groove 16, the toilet bowl 3 is inserted into the semi-circular retaining plate 2, so that the counterweight block 17 is placed on the outside of the toilet bowl 3. At this time, the counterweight block 17 will slide downward inside the sliding groove 16 due to its own weight, so that the counterweight block 17 is placed at the front end of the toilet bowl 3, which limits the front end position of the toilet bowl 3, so that the toilet bowl 3 cannot move forward and be pulled out from inside the semi-circular retaining plate 2. This allows the staff to restrict the position of the toilet bowl 3 and prevent the toilet bowl 3 from sliding out from inside the semi-circular retaining plate 2 when the user defecates.

[0024] Reference Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: a baffle 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the toilet seat 1. The baffle 18 has an arc-shaped structure. A guide plate 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the toilet seat 1. The baffle 18 is placed at the top of the toilet seat 1, so that the urine excreted by the patient can be blocked by the arc-shaped structure of the baffle 18. When the urine splashes onto the arc-shaped surface of the baffle 18, the urine can flow back into the bedpan 3 along the arc-shaped surface. The guide plate 19 is placed at the bottom of the toilet seat 1 to block the urine excreted by the patient in a sitting position, preventing the urine from splashing into the gap between the toilet seat 1 and the bedpan 3, causing the urine to drip through the gap to the ground, and ensuring that the excreted urine will not splash and pollute the surrounding environment.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown in this embodiment: a soft pad 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the load-bearing plate 10, and a rubber pad 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slot 7. When the load-bearing plate 10 is placed on the patient's waist, the soft pad 20 contacts the patient's waist, increasing the softness of the contact between the load-bearing plate 10 and the patient, preventing the load-bearing plate 10 from being too hard and causing discomfort to the patient when lying down. The rubber pad 21 is made of rubber material to increase the friction between the rubber pad 21 and the ground, preventing the rubber pad 21 from slipping on the ground, so that the device is not easy to slide on the ground and shake after being placed.

[0026] Working principle: The user pulls the support leg 6 out of the outer shell 4, then twists the insertion rod 5 to insert it into the slot 7, allowing the height of the outer shell 4 and the support leg 6 to be freely adjusted. After adjusting the toilet seat 1 to the same height as the patient's bed surface, the rotating rod 9 connects to the rotating disc 8, allowing the load-bearing plate 10 to rotate to the top of the nursing bed. At this time, medical staff can then drag the cancer patient who has difficulty getting out of bed, placing the patient's waist and back on the top of the load-bearing plate 10 and the buttocks on the bottom of the toilet seat 1, forming a lying support for the patient. The patient's upper body lies on the bed, and the lower body and buttocks sit on the top of the toilet seat 1. When the patient's buttocks are on the toilet seat 1 and they defecate, the feces fall through the toilet seat 1 into the bedpan 3 for collection, and then into the toilet bowl 3. Pulling the bedpan 3 forward allows it to be removed from the semi-circular retaining plate 2, facilitating subsequent cleaning. This allows the patient to defecate while lying down, reducing pain caused by getting out of bed. It is suitable for patients unable to get out of bed due to tumors or other conditions. After the user inserts the leg support plate 12 along the groove of the extension plate 11, the leg support plate 12 and the toilet seat 1 are in a horizontal position. The patient can then place their legs on the bottom of the leg support plate 12, which supports their legs, allowing them to lie flat. The connection between the leg support plate 12 and the extension plate 11 facilitates easy disassembly and installation of the leg support plate 12, minimizing the space occupied by the device. The space used is more conducive to the storage of this device. When the patient can get out of bed to defecate, the rotating rod 9 and the disc 8 are connected by rotation, so that the load-bearing plate 10 can rotate to a position perpendicular to the toilet seat 1. Then, the rotating rod 9 and the three-bar insert plate 14 are connected by spring 15, so that the bottom and top of the three-bar insert plate 14 can be pulled out from the round hole 13. At the same time, the three-bar insert plate 14 pulls the spring 15 to extend and store force. When the user releases the three-bar insert plate 14, the spring 15 will rebound and pull the three-bar insert plate 14, so that the long rods at the bottom and top of the three-bar insert plate 14 are inserted into the round hole 13. At the same time, the rotating rod 9 is placed in the middle position of the three-bar insert plate 14, which limits the rotation angle of the load-bearing plate 10, so that the load-bearing plate 10 forms a backrest, so that the patient can defecate while sitting on the top of the toilet seat 1. When the patient's back is supported, the sitting posture for defecation becomes more comfortable. The adjustable weight plate 10 also reduces the space occupied by the device. After the user pushes the counterweight block 17 upwards to retract it into the slide groove 16, the bedpan 3 is inserted into the semi-circular retaining plate 2, placing the counterweight block 17 on the outside of the bedpan 3. At this point, the counterweight block 17 slides downwards within the slide groove 16 due to its own weight, positioning it at the front end of the bedpan 3. This restricts the front end of the bedpan 3, preventing it from moving forward and being pulled out of the semi-circular retaining plate 2. This allows staff to control the position of the bedpan 3, preventing it from sliding out of the semi-circular retaining plate 2 during defecation. The bedpan 3 is then positioned on top of the toilet seat 1 via the baffle 18.The curved structure of the baffle 18 prevents urine from splashing onto the curved surface of the baffle 18 and allows it to flow back into the bedpan 3. The guide plate 19, placed at the bottom of the toilet seat 1, further prevents urine from splashing into the gap between the toilet seat 1 and the bedpan 3, thus preventing urine from dripping onto the ground and contaminating the surrounding environment. When the support plate 10 is placed on the patient's lower back, the soft pad 20 contacts the patient's lower back, increasing the softness of the contact between the support plate 10 and the patient and preventing discomfort caused by the support plate 10 being too hard when the patient is lying down. The rubber pad 21, made of rubber, increases the friction between the rubber pad 21 and the ground, preventing slippage and ensuring the device does not easily slide or wobble on the ground after placement.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
