Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bathroom technology and relates to a shower device, particularly a shower device with armrests and a seat. Background Technology

[0002] Existing shower systems typically require a person to stand under the showerhead and control the water flow and temperature via a wall-mounted controller. However, this type of shower is extremely inconvenient for the elderly, the sick, and people with disabilities. These individuals often require assistance to shower, and if they try to shower alone, they are prone to falls, fainting, or other problems due to illness, old age, or mobility issues. Furthermore, showering while standing for extended periods is not only inconvenient but also causes discomfort. Additionally, the wet and slippery bathroom floor increases the risk of falls and injuries. Therefore, people often bring chairs or stools of various materials into the bathroom for showering and changing. However, due to limited bathroom space, these stools need to be moved out promptly, causing considerable inconvenience.

[0003] Patent application (CN201910695660.9) discloses a seat device for a sit-down shower equipment and a seat folding method, including chair legs, a seat surface, and a folding device. The seat surface is connected to the chair legs through the folding device, and the seat surface is folded and stored through the folding device. The folding device includes a slide groove and a pivot. The slide groove is disposed on the side of the seat surface, and the pivot is disposed on the chair legs. The pivot is mounted on the slide groove, and the pivot moves along the slide groove to unfold or fold and store the seat surface.

[0004] However, the aforementioned seating equipment is mounted on the wall using brackets, which requires drilling new holes in the wall for installation, making it inconvenient, especially after the bathroom renovation has been completed. Adding seating equipment after this can cause the bathroom tiles to crack and become damaged. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a shower device that integrates armrests and a seat.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a shower device with armrests and a seat, comprising:

[0007] The vertical bar is fixed to the wall and has a shower head at one end. The side of the vertical bar has a rotatable and retractable handrail, and the other end of the vertical bar has a foldable and retractable seat.

[0008] In the above-mentioned shower device with armrests and seat functions, the seat includes a seat plate, one end of which is connected to the vertical bar by a hinge, and the other end of the seat plate is a free end.

[0009] In the above-mentioned shower device with armrests and seat functions, a support plate is rotatably connected to the free end of the seat. When the seat is folded up, the support plate is rotatably folded up to the lower surface of the seat, or the support plate is rotatably folded up to the upper surface of the seat.

[0010] In the above-mentioned shower device with armrests and seat functions, a skirt extends in the same direction along the edge of the seat plate to form a skirt. When the seat plate and the support plate are folded and stored, the support plate can be stored in the cavity formed by the skirt.

[0011] This utility model also provides a shower device with armrests and a seat, including:

[0012] A vertical bar is fixed to the wall, with a shower head at one end and a foldable seat at the other end.

[0013] A horizontal bar is connected to the vertical bar, and a rotatable and retractable handrail is provided on the horizontal bar.

[0014] In the above-mentioned shower device with armrests and seat functions, there are two armrests, and the two armrests are located on both sides of the seat.

[0015] In the above-mentioned shower device with armrest and seat functions, a connector is provided on the crossbar, and an annular groove is provided on the connector. One end of the armrest is nested in the annular groove and rotatably connected to the connector, while the other end of the armrest is a free end.

[0016] In the above-mentioned shower device with armrests and seat functions, the crossbar includes multiple storage blocks, and the connector is located between two adjacent storage blocks. The two sides of the connector are connected to the corresponding adjacent storage blocks, and the upper surface of the storage block serves as a storage platform for bath products.

[0017] In the above-mentioned shower device with armrests and seat functions, a baffle is connected to the front side of each storage block, and a height difference is formed between the upper surface of the baffle and the plane where the storage platform is located, and the height difference serves as a blocking part when bath products are placed on the storage platform.

[0018] In the above-mentioned shower device with armrests and seat functions, the seat includes a seat plate and a support plate rotatably connected to the seat plate, wherein when the seat is folded, the support plate can be rotated and stored inside the seat plate.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] (1) The present invention provides a shower device with armrest and seat functions, which integrates seat function and armrest function into the shower device. It can be unfolded when in use and folded and stored when not in use. It is convenient and reliable to operate and does not require drilling holes in the wall for installation.

[0021] (2) There are two purposes for setting up the horizontal bar. First, it increases the contact area between the entire shower device and the wall, or fixes the position so that when the person sits on the seat and puts their arm on the armrest or leans their body on the armrest, the entire shower device has sufficient load-bearing capacity and improves the reliability of the product. Second, the horizontal bar can be used as a storage platform for bath products, which can improve the utilization rate of bathroom space and ensure the cleanliness of the bathroom.

[0022] (3) When the handrail is in the unfolded state, it can not only serve as a support for the arms or a place to lean on the body when the above-mentioned people are taking a shower, but also serve as a place to hang shower products such as bath towels when the shower device is not in use, so as to dry the bath towels or towels, avoid the growth of bacteria, and improve the hygiene and health of shower products.

[0023] (4) A baffle is connected to the front side of each storage block, and the upper surface of the baffle is higher than the horizontal plane of the storage platform, so that a height difference is formed between the upper surface of the baffle and the plane of the storage platform. This height difference serves as a barrier when bath products are placed on the storage platform, thereby improving the safety of placing bath products.

[0024] (5) By setting a skirt on the edge of the seat board, the support plate can be folded and stored, so that the seat can fit against the vertical bar when stored, avoiding collisions with others when showering. On the other hand, the strength of the seat board can be improved, further enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the entire seat when unfolded and the stability of the seat during use.

[0032] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a shower device with armrests and a seat, comprising:

[0035] A vertical bar 10 is fixed to the wall, and a shower head 20 is provided at one end of the vertical bar 10, while a foldable seat 30 is provided at the other end of the vertical bar 10.

[0036] A horizontal bar 40 is connected to a vertical bar 10, and a rotatable armrest 50 is provided on each side of the horizontal bar 40, wherein the two armrests 50 are located on both sides of the seat 30.

[0037] In the existing technology, when elderly people, patients, or disabled people with limited mobility need to take a bath, the seat 30 can be unfolded, and the person can sit on the seat 30. Then, the armrests 50 on both sides of the seat 30 can be rotated downwards at the same time, or one of the armrests 50 on one side of the seat 30 can be rotated downwards to serve as a support position for the person's arm or body. Then, the shower head 20 on the vertical bar 10 can be turned on to enable the person to take a bath.

[0038] This utility model provides a shower device with armrest and seat functions, which integrates the seat function 30 and armrest function 50 into the shower device. It can be unfolded when in use and folded away when not in use. It is convenient and reliable to operate and does not require drilling new holes in the wall for installation.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the armrests 50 located on both sides of the seat 30 can also be directly connected to both sides of the vertical bar 10, instead of being connected to the horizontal bar 40. In this case, the armrests 50 on both sides and the vertical bar 10 can also be rotatably connected. When the armrests 50 are in use, rotate the armrests 50 to set the armrests 50 in a horizontal state. When the armrests 50 are not in use, the armrests 50 are in a vertical state, which will not affect other people's use of the shower device and avoid collisions between other people and the armrests 50 or the seat 30 when they use it.

[0040] It is worth mentioning that the purpose of setting the horizontal bar 40 is twofold. First, it increases the contact area between the entire shower device and the wall, or fixes the position so that when the person sits on the seat 30 and puts their arm on the armrest 50 or leans their body on the armrest 50, the entire shower device has sufficient load-bearing capacity, improving the reliability of the product. Second, the horizontal bar 40 can be used as a storage platform for bath products, improving the utilization of bathroom space and ensuring the cleanliness of the bathroom.

[0041] To further explain, the connection between the handrail 50 and the crossbar 40 can be a rotating connection or other connection methods, as long as the handrail 50 can be stored when not in use, thereby reducing the overall size of the shower device and preventing others from colliding with the unfolded handrail 50 when using it, thus avoiding injury. When needed, it can be quickly unfolded.

[0042] In this embodiment, the armrest 50 is in the unfolded state, which can not only serve as a support for the arm or a place to lean on the body when the person is taking a shower, but also as a hanging place for shower products such as bath towels when the shower device is not in use, so as to dry the bath towels or towels, avoid the growth of bacteria, and improve the hygiene and health of the shower products.

[0043] It is worth mentioning that the handrail 50 can be strip-shaped, racetrack-shaped, or other structures. Specifically, when the strip-shaped or racetrack-shaped handrail 50 is unfolded, it is horizontal. In this case, when the handrail 50 is subjected to downward or lateral pressure, it remains horizontal and will not collapse, improving its reliability during use. Generally, a support structure, such as a triangular bracket, is provided at the end of the handrail 50 that is rotatably connected to the crossbar 40. One side of this support structure is connected to the handrail 50, and the other side of the support structure abuts against the wall when the handrail 50 is unfolded, thus ensuring that the entire handrail 50 has a high load-bearing capacity.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, taking the handrail 50 as having a racetrack-like structure as an example, a connecting member 41 is provided on the crossbar 40, and an annular groove is provided on the connecting member 41. One end of the handrail 50 is nested in the annular groove and is rotatably connected to the connecting member 41, while the other end of the handrail 50 is a free end.

[0045] It is worth mentioning that the horizontal bar 40 is divided into multiple storage blocks 42, and the connecting piece 41 is located between two adjacent storage blocks 42. The two sides of the connecting piece 41 are connected to the corresponding adjacent storage blocks 42, and the upper surface of the storage block 42 serves as a storage platform for bath products.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the bath products placed on the storage block 42 and prevent them from slipping, a baffle 43 is connected to the front side of each storage block 42, and the upper surface of the baffle 43 is higher than the horizontal plane of the storage platform, so that a height difference is formed between the upper surface of the baffle 43 and the plane of the storage platform. This height difference serves as a blocking part when the bath products are placed on the storage platform, thereby improving the safety of placing the bath products.

[0047] Furthermore, spray nozzles can be provided on the armrest 50. When the person is seated on the seat 30, spray water can be sprayed from the spray nozzles of the unfolded armrest 50 to clean the sides of the body or the legs, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0048] Preferably, the seat 30 is foldably connected to the vertical bar 10, and the seat 30 includes a seat plate 31, wherein one end of the seat plate 31 is connected to the vertical bar 10 by a hinge, and the other end of the seat plate 31 is a free end.

[0049] It is worth mentioning that when one end of the seat plate 31 is rotatably connected to the vertical bar 10 via a hinge, and the other end is a free end, if the seat 30 is unfolded, the seat 30 forms a similar "cantilever beam" structure. Although it has a certain supporting capacity, there are still corresponding safety hazards. For example, when a heavier person sits on the seat 30, there is a risk of collapse.

[0050] Furthermore, the hinge adopts a four-bar linkage structure. When the seat plate 31 is unfolded and located at the "dead point" of the four-bar linkage structure, the seat plate 31 will not be able to rotate. At this time, the seat plate 31 has a certain supporting capacity. After crossing the dead point, the seat plate 31 can rotate and retract again.

[0051] Therefore, in order to improve the safety of using the seat 30, a support plate 32 can be connected to the free end of the seat plate 31. When the seat 30 is in the unfolded state, the support plate 32 is in contact with the bathroom floor. At this time, the vertical bar 10, the seat plate 31 and the support plate 32 form an "h" shaped structure, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire seat 30.

[0052] Furthermore, in order to reduce the volume of the entire seat 30 in the folded state, a rotating structure can be set between the seat plate 31 and the support plate 32. When the seat 30 is folded, the support plate 32 is rotated and folded into the lower surface of the seat plate 31, and then the seat plate 31 is rotated so that the support plate 32 fits against the vertical bar 10. Alternatively, the support plate 32 is rotated and folded into the upper surface of the seat plate 31, and then the seat plate 31 is rotated so that the inner surface of the seat plate 31 faces the vertical bar 10.

[0053] Furthermore, a skirt 33 extends in the same direction along the edge of the seat plate 31. When the seat plate 31 and the support plate 32 are folded and stored, the support plate 32 can be stored in the cavity surrounded by the skirt 33, so that the support plate 32 is embedded in the seat plate 31.

[0054] In this embodiment, by providing a skirt 33 at the edge of the seat plate 31, the support plate 32 can be folded and stored, so that the seat 30 in the stored state can fit against the vertical bar 10, avoiding collisions with others while showering. On the other hand, it can improve the strength of the seat plate 31, further improving the load-bearing capacity of the entire seat 30 in the unfolded state and the stability of the seat 30 during use.

[0055] Preferably, a hollow portion is provided at the connection between the base plate 31 and the support plate 32, and the hollow portion includes a first notch 311 provided on the base plate 31 and a second notch 321 provided on the support plate 32, wherein the first notch 311 and the second notch 321 are connected.

[0056] In this embodiment, by providing a perforated portion between the base plate 31 and the support plate 32, the spray water can flow down through the perforated portion, thus avoiding the accumulation of spray water.
