Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment technology, specifically a lockable upward-flipping structure. Background Technology

[0002] Auxiliary equipment includes toilet grab bars and shower chairs, but early toilet grab bars were mostly fixed, taking up a lot of space once installed. In small toilets, fixed grab bars can restrict user movement and may also affect the layout and use of other facilities, causing inconvenience. As people's demands for quality of life have increased, so has the need for more user-friendly and convenient toilet facilities. This has led to the development of grab bars with a folding mechanism, providing excellent convenience in space-constrained areas, and offering simple operation and greater durability.

[0003] In the process of realizing this utility model, the inventor discovered the following problems with the existing technology: 1. The common upward-flipping structure may not have a corresponding locking structure, which may cause the handrail to fall when it flips up to the stop position, causing injury to the user; 2. The common upward-flipping structure may be relatively complicated to connect with the handrail, requiring the use of multiple tools for installation, which increases labor and is not easy to disassemble and repair. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a lockable flip-up structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To achieve the above objective, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lockable flip-up structure, including a support base, a sleeve fixedly connected to the middle of one end of the support base, a first connecting block installed inside the sleeve, a support rod fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting block, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the center of one end of the support rod, and locking components installed on both sides of the first connecting block.

[0005] The locking assembly includes springs installed inside both sides of the first connecting block. A connecting post is horizontally installed inside the spring. One end of the connecting post is fixedly connected to a second connecting block, and one end of the second connecting block is fixedly connected to a limit block.

[0006] More preferably, the support base has rounded corners on all four sides.

[0007] More preferably, the upper and middle parts of one end of the support base are provided with slots.

[0008] More preferably, a first groove is provided at the lower part of one end of the support base, and a rubber gasket is installed inside the first groove.

[0009] More preferably, the connecting rod has an external threaded groove on its exterior.

[0010] More preferably, the support rod is fitted with an elastic anti-slip washer.

[0011] More preferably, the spring, connecting column, second connecting block and limiting block form an elastic structure, and the upper part of both ends of the inner side of the sleeve is provided with a second groove, and the limiting block and the second groove form a magnetic attraction structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] In this utility model, a locking component is added so that the lifting structure drives the armrest to lift to the stop position. Through the elastic deformation of the spring, the limiting block enters the second groove opened at both ends of the inner side of the sleeve and is magnetically attracted, thereby ensuring that the support rod will not fall off and will not cause damage to the user, thus increasing the safety during use. Furthermore, it can be easily disengaged from the second groove during use, increasing the convenience of use.

[0014] In this invention, the connecting rod has an external threaded groove, which allows it to be installed on the handrail by rotation without the need for other tools. This reduces labor costs and saves time, while also providing excellent stability during use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a lockable flip-up structure, including a support base 1, a sleeve 2 fixedly connected to the middle of one end of the support base 1, a first connecting block 3 installed inside the sleeve 2, a support rod 4 fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting block 3, a connecting rod 5 fixedly connected to the center of one end of the support rod 4, and locking components 6 installed on both sides of the first connecting block 3.

[0022] The locking assembly 6 includes springs 601 installed inside both sides of the first connecting block 3. A connecting post 602 is horizontally installed inside the spring 601. One end of the connecting post 602 is fixedly connected to a second connecting block 603. One end of the second connecting block 603 is fixedly connected to a limit block 604.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support base 1 has rounded corners on all four sides; this design reduces the risk of injury to workers during installation or users when accidentally touching the corners, thus increasing safety.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, slots are provided at the upper and middle parts of one end of the support base 1; this design allows workers to pass fixing bolts through the slots to install the device, thus ensuring good stability during use.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first groove is provided at the lower part of one end of the support base 1, and a rubber pad is installed inside the first groove; through this design, when the handrail falls to the designated position, one end of the handrail will touch the rubber pad, thereby playing a shock-absorbing and buffering role, avoiding damage and increasing service life.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the connecting rod 5 has an external threaded groove on its exterior. This design allows the connecting rod 5 to be installed with the handrail by rotation, eliminating the need for other tools and reducing labor costs while saving time. It also provides excellent stability during use.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support rod 4 is equipped with an elastic anti-slip pad; this design provides a certain anti-slip effect when the user grips the support rod 4, making the grip more secure and comfortable, thus increasing safety during use.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the spring 601, connecting post 602, second connecting block 603, and limiting block 604 form an elastic structure. A second groove is provided at the upper part of both ends of the inner side of the sleeve 2, and the limiting block 604 and the second groove form a magnetic attraction structure. Through this design, when the support rod 4 drives the first connecting block 3 to rotate, the limiting block 604 can enter the second groove through the elastic deformation of the spring 601 and be magnetically attracted. This allows the support rod 4 to be locked when it is flipped to a designated position, preventing the support rod 4 from accidentally falling and increasing safety.

[0029] The usage and advantages of this utility model: The locking upward-opening structure operates as follows:

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, first, the fixing bolt is passed through the slot at one end of the support base 1 for installation. Then, one end of the handrail is aligned with the connecting rod 5, and the handrail is rotated. The external threaded groove of the connecting rod 5 is used to install the handrail. When needed, the user can grasp the support rod 4 and rotate it, thereby causing the first connecting block 3 to rotate within the sleeve 2. This weakens the magnetic attraction of the limiting block 604, causing the limiting block 604 to disengage from the second groove. At this point, the handrail can be rotated to a horizontal position for use. When finished, the handrail is rotated, causing the support rod 4 to rotate the first connecting block 3. When rotated to the designated position, the spring 601 will elastically deform, causing the limiting block 604 to enter the second groove and simultaneously perform magnetic attraction, thereby achieving a locking effect.

[0031] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
