[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. Example
[0019] This embodiment describes a bathing and care device that can prevent elderly people from falling, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it includes a horizontally set base plate 9, and a top plate 1 is horizontally fixed to the top of the base plate 9 by a support rod 4. The top plate 1 is horizontally set on the top of the base plate 9 and is parallel to the base plate 9 vertically. The lower ends of the support rods 4 are fixed to the top of the base plate 9 and the upper ends are fixed to the bottom of the top plate 1. The top plate 1 is lifted by the support rods 4 so that the elderly can enter the base plate 9.
[0020] The bottom plate 9 has a horizontally rotatable seat plate 8 at its top, and a vertically fixed support seat 10 at its top. The bottom of the seat plate 8 has an upward-facing groove, and the upper end of the support seat 10 is inserted into the groove. The seat plate 8 rotates around the center of the support seat 10. The free rotation of the seat plate 8 can drive the elderly person sitting on it to rotate, which is beneficial for caregivers to clean the elderly person's body from all angles and reduce hygiene dead corners.
[0021] The support rod 4 is equipped with a spray nozzle 13 that sprays water onto the seat plate 8. There are several spray nozzles 13 installed along the length of the support rod 4. The spray nozzles 13 spray warm water onto the seat plate 8 for the elderly to bathe.
[0022] The top of the seat 8 is equipped with an arc-shaped backrest 6. The left and right ends of the backrest 6 are bent forward, and the backrest 6 as a whole is an arc-shaped structure with the opening facing forward. The arc-shaped backrest 6 wraps around the back and sides of the elderly person's body, allowing the elderly person to lean on it while bathing. Compared with traditional handrails, it increases the support for the elderly person's back and prevents them from falling when they are physically weak.
[0023] The top of the backrest 6 is fixed with armrests 5, the two ends of which extend beyond the left and right sides of the backrest 6, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the armrest 5 is fixed to the top of the backrest 6. The angle of the armrest 5 is the same as that of the backrest 6. The left and right ends of the armrest 5 extend beyond the backrest 6. The armrest 5 is in a semi-circular structure. The armrest 5 can wrap around the elderly's body in a larger range, so that the elderly can lean on it in various positions. The semi-circular structure of the armrest 5 will not affect the elderly's entry and exit from the seat board 8.
[0024] Two connecting rods 11 are vertically fixed to the bottom of the backrest 6, with the upper ends of both rods fixed to the bottom of the backrest 6. A downward-facing sliding groove 7 is formed at the top of the seat plate 8. The groove 7 has an arc-shaped structure and is semi-circular, with its center overlapping the center of the backrest 6. A slider is independently installed within the groove 7, sliding along it. The number of sliders is the same as the number of connecting rods 11. The lower ends of the connecting rods 11 are fixed to the sliders. When the sliders move, they move the connecting rods 11 together, thus rotating the backrest 6. The entire assembly constitutes a control component for controlling the rotation of the backrest 6. When the control component is in use, it pushes the connecting rod 11 to move, and the slider slides along the slide groove 7, thereby driving the backrest 6 to rotate. When the elderly need to wash their back, the backrest 6 and armrest 5 rotate to the front of the elderly, and the elderly can lean on the armrest 5 to provide support, avoiding the elderly from bending forward for a long time when washing their back, improving the elderly's comfort while preventing them from falling due to physical exhaustion. Of course, in the control component, a stop is installed at the opening of the slide groove 7 to block the slider and prevent it from sliding out of the slide groove, improving the stability of the backrest 6 when moving and providing stable support for the elderly.
[0025] A fixing plate 2 is vertically fixed to the front end of the top plate 1, and the upper end of the fixing plate 2 is fixed to the front end of the top plate 1. A gooseneck tube 14 is installed on the rear side of the fixing plate 2, and a nozzle 13 is installed at the end of the gooseneck tube 14. The gooseneck tube 14 can freely extend, retract, and bend. The fixed gooseneck tube 14 is used to change the position of the nozzle 13, which is convenient for cleaning the elderly. The gooseneck tube 14 is existing technology. The gooseneck tube is also called a metal shaped hose, which is a metal part that can be bent arbitrarily and determined in direction. A water tank 3 is installed on the top of the top plate 1 to supply water to the gooseneck tube 14. A water pipe is installed inside the top plate 1. One end of the water pipe is connected to the water outlet of the water tank 3, and the other end... The water inlet end connected to the gooseneck tube 14 is used to transport hot water from the water tank 3 to the gooseneck tube 14 through a water pipe, providing hot water for the patient's bath. This section as a whole constitutes a water spray assembly that sprays water onto the seat plate 8. When using the water spray assembly, hold the nozzle 13 at the end of the gooseneck tube 14, extend the nozzle 13 and move it to the side of the elderly person, and supply the elderly person with hot water from the water tank 3 for bathing. Of course, the water spray assembly can also be fixed with a retaining ring at the lower end of the fixing plate 2, and the movable end of the gooseneck tube 14 is locked in the retaining ring. When the gooseneck tube 14 is not in use, it can be stored behind the fixing plate 2 to avoid the gooseneck tube 14 affecting the elderly person's movement.
[0026] In this embodiment, the elderly person enters the base plate 9 and sits on the seat plate 8, with their back against the backrest 6 and their hands on the armrests 5. Hot water is sprayed onto the elderly person through the nozzles 13 on the support rod 4 and the water spray assembly at the front of the top plate 1 to provide a bath. By rotating the seat plate 8, the elderly person can rotate. When it is necessary to wash the elderly person's back, the armrests 5 are rotated in front of the elderly person through the control assembly. The elderly person lies on the armrests 5, and the backrest 6 is rotated to expose the elderly person's back, avoiding bending forward for a long time when washing the elderly person's back. The support of the armrests 5 also prevents the elderly person from falling. Example
[0027] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front end of the seat plate 8 has a notch 15 that is open from top to bottom. The notch 15 is located at the front end of the seat plate 8. The notch 15 facilitates drainage of the seat plate 8, preventing water from accumulating on the top of the seat plate 8 after bathing. The notch 15 also facilitates the cleaning of the elderly's private parts, avoiding the need to bend over when cleaning the private parts, preventing the elderly from becoming physically exhausted due to prolonged bending, effectively protecting the elderly and preventing them from falling.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the top of the seat plate 8 has a downward-facing groove for drainage. The groove is located on the top of the seat plate 8, and the seat plate 8 has an arc-shaped structure that curves downward in the middle. The groove facilitates drainage of the seat plate 8 and prevents water from accumulating on the top of the seat plate 8 after showering. Example
[0029] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 1As shown, the backrest 6 has several through grooves 12 that are connected front and back. The through grooves 12 on the backrest 6 are strip-shaped and there are several through grooves 12. The several through grooves 12 make the backrest 6 have a hollow structure, which is conducive to hot water spraying onto the back of the elderly. When the elderly lean against the backrest 6 and slide, the uneven backrest 6 can also rub the back of the elderly, improving the cleaning effect.
[0030] In this embodiment, a massage ball can also be installed on the front side wall of the backrest 6. When the elderly person slides against the backrest 6, the massager on the backrest 6 can rub and wash the elderly person's back. Example
[0031] This embodiment further illustrates the technology, such as Figure 3 As shown, an anti-slip pad is attached to the top of the base plate 9. The anti-slip pad is laid flat on the top of the base plate 9. The anti-slip pad increases the friction on the elderly's feet, preventing the elderly from slipping on the wet base plate 9 and further improving safety.
