[0002] A bedpan is a tool used to assist bedridden patients with urination and defecation. Currently, a commonly used type of bedpan is... Figure 1 As shown, the bedpan body 1 includes an upper opening. The bedpan body is generally higher at the front and lower at the back, and narrower at the front and wider at the back. The method of use is for the patient to lie flat and place the bedpan under their buttocks, or lie on their side with the bedpan close to their buttocks, and then lie flat again. This type of bedpan can serve the purpose of urination. However, its defects have been found during use: 1. There is no obstruction structure on the front of the bedpan body, making it easy for urine to spill out; 2. There is no drain outlet at the bottom, requiring the bedpan to be tilted at the upper opening, which can easily lead to residue; 3. It is inconvenient for the patient to sit or lean against, and its function is limited; 4. It is inconvenient to hang or store. Utility Model Content

[0032] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1

[0033] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, an adjustable-angle support-type urinal for bedridden patients includes a urinal body 1 with an upper opening. The urinal body 1 is generally higher in the front and lower in the back, and narrower in the front and wider in the back. A U-shaped groove 11 with a rear opening is embedded on the upper surface of the urinal body 1, and a baffle 2 is detachably inserted into the U-shaped groove 11.

[0034] The bottom of the toilet body 1 is provided with a circular discharge port 13, and the lower part of the discharge port 13 is provided with a threaded interface 14, and a cap 15 is threadedly connected to the threaded interface 14.

[0035] A hook 12 is fixedly provided at the center of the front side of the toilet body 1.

[0036] The toilet body 1 is detachably embedded in the receiving groove 31 on the upper side of the bottom plate 3. The bottom plate 3 is a flat cuboid shape, and a rectangular notch 32 is embedded on the rear side. An adjustable backing plate 4 is provided at the notch 32. A horizontal rotating shaft 41 is fixed at the bottom of the backing plate 4. The two ends of the rotating shaft 41 are respectively hinged to the two sides of the notch 32. An angle adjustment mechanism 5 is provided on one side of the notch 32.

[0037] The angle adjustment mechanism 5 includes a pin 51 that slides left and right and is embedded in one side wall of the notch 32. A limiting block 52 is fixedly provided at the outer end of the pin 51. A tension spring 53 is sleeved on the pin 51 inside the limiting block 52. The outer end of the tension spring 53 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 52, and the inner end of the tension spring 53 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the base plate 3. A circular plate 54 is fixedly provided at one end of the rotating shaft 41 near the pin 51. A ring of cylindrical blind holes 55 is provided around the outer edge of the circular plate 54. The inner end of the pin 51 is inserted into one of the cylindrical blind holes 55, which limits the position of the backing plate 4. When the limiting block 52 is pulled outward, the pin 51 is disengaged from the cylindrical blind hole 55, and the angle of the backing plate 4 can be adjusted. Then, the limiting block 52 is released, and the pin 51 is inserted into the cylindrical blind hole 55 under the action of the tension spring 53, and is limited again.

[0038] The cap 15 is a flat cylindrical shape with a sealing gasket (not shown) on the upper surface and edge.

[0039] The internal cavity of the toilet body 1 has an open structure that is smaller at the bottom and larger at the top, making it easy to clean up waste later.

[0040] The rotating shaft 41 passes through the center of the circular plate 54 and is fixedly connected to the circular plate 54.

[0041] The baffle 2 has a U-shaped structure that matches the U-shaped groove 11, and the upper surface of the rear end has an arc-shaped structure 21 to avoid scratching the patient's skin.

[0042] The bottom surface of the cover 15 has two rectangular grooves 151 spaced apart, which facilitates the installation and removal of the cover 15.

[0043] In use, the baffle 2 increases the height of the front of the bedpan body 1, shielding the patient from urination and preventing urine from flowing outwards, thus protecting the patient's privacy. The baffle 2 can be removed from the U-shaped groove 11 for easy storage and cleaning. The bedpan can be tilted to open the lid 15, and excrement can be poured out through the drain opening 13. The hook 12 can be used as a handle for easy hanging and storage when not in use. The patient can also adopt a sitting position (for defecation) and lean against the backrest 4 to prevent backward leaning. The backrest 4 is adjustable in angle and can also be laid flat. The bedpan can be removed from the receiving slot 31 for easy individual cleaning and disinfection. Example 2

[0044] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, an elastic support 6 is glued to the rear side of the toilet body 1.

[0045] The elastic support 6 includes an upper pad 61 (rectangular), and a silicone sleeve 62 (cubic-piezoelectric) with an upper opening is glued to the lower part of the pad 61. Several vertical springs 63 are provided inside the silicone sleeve 62 (the upper and lower ends are fixedly connected to the pad and the silicone sleeve, respectively). The front sides of the silicone sleeve 62 and the pad 61 are glued and fixed to the rear side of the toilet bowl body 1.

[0046] When in use, the elastic support 6 is placed under the patient's body while the patient is lying on their back to defecate, and the spring 63 can provide elastic support, improving the patient's comfort.

[0047] The elastic support 6 can be used together with the base plate 3 and placed directly on the base plate 3, or it can be used directly with the toilet body 1 without being combined with the base plate 3.
