Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a toilet with handrails, which belongs to a care product. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, especially for people with disabilities or the elderly, safety when using the toilet is paramount. These individuals are prone to falls due to mobility issues while using the toilet, thus requiring the installation of handrails to ensure their safety. With social progress and technological development, modern toilet facilities not only demand safety but also incorporate many additional functions, such as bidet and bowel assistance, further enhancing user comfort and experience. Simultaneously, with an aging population, toilets with health and wellness features have become essential products in modern life; simply put, these are toilets with handrails beside the toilet to facilitate getting up.

[0003] However, most existing toilet grab bar designs have several flaws. First, most grab bars are fixed to the wall behind the toilet. While this method is simple in structure, it requires drilling holes in the wall, and these holes are visible after the grab bar is removed, affecting the overall appearance. Drilling these holes can also easily crack the tiles, and since they are in a visible area, tile replacement may be necessary, causing significant inconvenience. Second, a small number of toilets have grab bars installed between the toilet body and the toilet seat. While this design saves space, because toilets are generally fixed to the floor with adhesive, the toilet's stability under the weight of the grab bar is compromised. This can lead to the toilet becoming loose, damaged, or even shifting, potentially causing the user to fall. Users with weaker constitutions are particularly vulnerable to falls, significantly impacting safety and stability. Summary of the Invention

The rear end of the second connector is connected to an L-shaped second connecting piece 60, which can move back and forth relative to the second connector. The second connecting piece can be fixedly connected to the rear wall of the seat, thus achieving both horizontal and vertical fixation of the handrail assembly and ensuring the stability of the overall structure. The rear end of the second connector has a second connecting hole 51, and the front end of the second connecting piece has a second strip groove 61 that fits into the second connecting hole. A locking bolt 100 is provided between the second connecting hole and the second strip groove to fix the position of the second connector and the second connecting piece. The rear end of the second connecting piece has a second opening 62, which can be fixedly connected to the wall via the locking bolt. This second opening can be strip-shaped. In other words, the distance between the two connectors and the wall and seat (ground) components is adjustable, allowing for adaptation to different seat sizes and improving the compatibility of handrail installation.

[0033] Furthermore, the first and second connectors can be rotatably connected to the armrest assembly. The second connector can be connected to the seat via a locking bolt. The locking bolt can engage with the hole 24 on the seat, thereby enabling the seat to be fixed in place. The rotatable connection can be used to adjust the positional relationship between the armrest assembly and the toilet, while also better adapting to different models (shapes) of seats.

[0034] Preferably, the armrest assembly includes a fixing frame 11 and an armrest 12. The fixing frame can be fixed to the upper surface of the seat, and the armrest can be rotatably connected to both sides of the fixing frame.
