Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to a shower stool that is easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] Shower stools are used in bathrooms and look similar to ordinary chairs. They are suitable for elderly people, pregnant women, people with disabilities, and other people with limited mobility to assist with bathing or showering. The design details are made more user-friendly according to different groups and their different needs. Shower stools not only allow them to complete the bathing process independently, but also make bathing healthier.

[0003] There are currently several types of shower stools on the market. Some have a bracket fixed to the wall, with the seat hinged to the bracket. When in use, the seat is flipped to be perpendicular to the wall. When folded, the seat is parallel to the wall. However, this type of shower stool is fixed in position and cannot be moved, limiting its use. There are also movable folding shower stools, which include a leg section, a seat section, and a backrest section. The leg section includes a first leg and a second leg, which are hinged in the middle. The seat section is hinged to the first leg, and the backrest section is hinged to the rear of the seat section. However, this type of shower stool has a complex structure and is cumbersome to assemble. Whether folding or unfolding, the operation is relatively complicated and cannot be done quickly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a convenient and easy-to-store bath stool. The stool can be unfolded or folded by rotating the backrest, making it easy to operate and practical.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A conveniently foldable shower stool includes chair legs, a seat, and a backrest. The chair legs include a front leg and a rear leg. The front leg includes two separate front leg tubes and a front cross tube connected to the two front leg tubes. The rear leg includes two separate rear leg tubes and a rear cross tube connected to the two rear leg tubes. The upper ends of the front leg and the upper ends of the rear leg are connected by a connecting shaft. The two ends of the backrest are connected to corresponding connecting shafts. The rear end of the seat is rotatably mounted on the rear cross tube through a sleeve. The connecting shaft is tightly fitted with the front leg tube. A driving structure is provided between the connecting shaft and the backrest to drive the connecting shaft to rotate synchronously with the backrest when the backrest rotates from a horizontal state to a vertical state or from a vertical state to a horizontal state.

[0006] Further configuration: The drive structure includes two opposing positioning protrusions and two drive blocks. The two positioning protrusions are located on the outer side wall of the connecting shaft. The backrest end is provided with a shaft hole, which is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft. The two drive blocks are disposed opposite to each other in the shaft hole, and the drive blocks are movably disposed between the two positioning protrusions. The front leg tube is provided with a corresponding positioning groove, and the positioning protrusion is engaged in the positioning groove. The rear leg tube is provided with a clearance groove for the positioning protrusion to move.

[0007] Using the above technical solution, when the shower stool is in the unfolded state, the drive block abuts against one of the positioning protrusions. When the backrest rotates counterclockwise, the drive block slides between the two positioning protrusions. After the drive block abuts against the other positioning protrusion, the backrest continues to rotate counterclockwise, and the drive block pushes against the positioning protrusion, causing the connecting shaft and the front leg tube to rotate. The front horizontal tube moves backward and no longer contacts the stool. The front end of the stool flips backward for folding and storage. After storage, both the backrest and the stool are set vertically. When unfolded, the backrest rotates clockwise. The shower stool can be unfolded or folded simply by flipping the backrest, making the operation convenient and quick.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that it includes two connecting arms, which are located on both sides of the seat. One end of the connecting arm is hinged to the seat via a connecting plate, and the other end is hinged to the front leg tube via a connecting tube.

[0009] The above-mentioned further design makes the seat structure more stable, and the front leg tubes better drive the seat to flip when it is folded up or unfolded.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that: protrusions are provided on the inner sides of both ends of the backrest, and positioning elements are provided on the outer sides of the protrusions; corresponding slots are provided on the rear leg tubes; when the backrest is in a vertical position, the positioning elements are engaged in the slots.

[0011] With the above-mentioned further configuration, when the shower stool is folded up, the positioning component is locked in the slot to fix the backrest, so that it is in an upright position, the structure is stable and will not swing from side to side. The end face of the positioning component is arc-shaped, so that the positioning component can be disengaged from the slot when the backrest is pushed.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the upper end of the rear leg tube is provided with a receiving groove, the clearance groove communicates with the receiving groove, the upper end of the front leg tube is movably disposed in the receiving groove, and the end of the connecting shaft extends into the receiving groove.

[0013] The above-mentioned further design facilitates the relative rotation of the rear leg tube and the front leg tube, making it convenient and quick to unfold or fold.

[0015] With the above-mentioned further design, the first and second channels make it easy for users to carry the backrest for storage, unfolding, or transportation. At the same time, the first channel can also be used to install a cushion, which can be leaned against for greater comfort during use.

[0016] A further improvement of this utility model is as follows: the stool includes a separate seat plate and a seat cushion. Both the seat plate and the seat cushion are provided with several through holes, and the seat cushion is provided with a connecting post. The connecting post is inserted into the through hole of the seat plate to connect the seat plate and the seat cushion.

[0017] With the above-mentioned further design, the through hole helps to prevent water from accumulating on the seat, making it safer. The addition of a seat cushion makes the seat softer, and the connection between the connecting column and the through hole makes it easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0018] A further improvement of this utility model is that the lower end face of the stool is integrally provided with a fixing plate and a positioning plate located in front of the fixing plate. When the stool is unfolded, the positioning plate is located on the front side of the front leg tube and abuts against the front leg tube.

[0019] The above-mentioned further design makes the stool structure stable, providing good stability during use and preventing it from wobbling.

[0020] A further feature of this invention is that a telescopic tube is connected to the front and rear leg tubes, and a ball bearing is provided on the front and rear leg tubes. The telescopic tube has multiple small holes along its body, and the ball bearings cooperate with the small holes at different heights to extend and retract.

[0021] With the above-mentioned further design, the height of the stool can be adjusted according to different user conditions, which is highly practical and easy to adjust. Press the ball inward to disengage it from the current hole, and the telescopic tube can slide.

The front leg frame 11 includes two separate front leg tubes 111 and a front cross tube 112 connected to the two front leg tubes 111. The rear leg frame 12 includes two separate rear leg tubes 121 and a rear cross tube 122 connected to the two rear leg tubes 121. The upper ends of the front leg frame 11 and the upper ends of the rear leg frame 12 are connected by a connecting shaft 4. The two ends of the backrest 3 are connected to the corresponding connecting shafts 4. The rear end of the seat 2 is rotatably mounted on the rear cross tube 122 via a sleeve 21. The sleeve 21 can be fixedly connected to the seat 2 or integrally formed. The connecting shaft 4 is tightly fitted with the front leg tube 111. A driving structure is provided between the connecting shaft 4 and the backrest 3 to drive the connecting shaft 4 and the backrest 3 to rotate synchronously when the backrest 3 rotates from a horizontal state to a vertical state or from a vertical state to a horizontal state. Specifically, the driving structure includes two opposing positioning protrusions 51 and two driving blocks 52. The two positioning protrusions 51 are provided on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 4. The backrest 3 has a shaft hole 31 at its end. The backrest 3 is arc-shaped, and the shaft hole 31 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 4. Two drive blocks 52 are disposed opposite each other in the shaft hole 31, and the drive blocks 52 are movably disposed between the two positioning protrusions 51. The front leg tube 111 is provided with a corresponding positioning groove 1111, and the positioning protrusion 51 is engaged in the positioning groove 1111 to achieve a tight fit between the connecting shaft 4 and the front leg tube 111, so that the positioning shaft and the positioning protrusion 51 rotate synchronously.
