Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bathroom equipment technology, specifically to a shower chair with a folding function. Background Technology
[0002] Existing shower chairs are typically fixed structures, taking up considerable space and making them inconvenient to store. Furthermore, some folding shower chairs have complex designs, which can easily cause users to pinch their hands when folding, or lack stability after folding, affecting safety.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a shower chair that is simple in structure, easy to fold, highly safe, and space-saving to meet the actual needs of users. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shower chair with a folding function, which optimizes the folding structure, improves safety during use, facilitates storage, and saves space.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a shower chair with a folding function, including a seat, a backrest, a support frame, and a folding assembly. The seat and backrest are connected by a hinge mechanism, and the support frame is movably connected to the folding assembly and disposed below the seat.
[0006] Preferably, the chair seat has a non-slip surface to improve safety during use.
[0007] Preferably, the chair back is provided with ventilation holes to improve comfort.
[0008] Preferably, the support frame is made of high-strength aluminum alloy to improve structural strength and corrosion resistance.
[0009] Preferably, the folding assembly includes a folding hinge and a snap-fit mechanism for quick folding and securing.
[0010] Preferably, the buckle mechanism is equipped with a locking device to ensure the stability of the folded state.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the support frame is provided with an anti-slip pad to improve stability during use.
[0012] Preferably, the hinge mechanism between the seat and the backrest is an elastic hinge to achieve slow folding and avoid pinching the user.
[0013] Preferably, both the seat and backrest are made of antibacterial materials to improve hygiene. The antibacterial material can be ABS plastic with added antibacterial agents, a silver ion coating, or other antibacterial materials conforming to ISO 22196 standards, which can effectively reduce bacterial growth in humid environments. Experimental tests show that the material inhibits Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by more than 99.9% and maintains its antibacterial properties for more than two years in humid environments. Optical microscopy analysis and colony culture data support that this antibacterial material significantly improves hygiene and is suitable for long-term use in shower chair structures.
[0014] Through the above technical solution, the shower chair provided by this utility model can achieve quick folding and safe storage, reduce space occupation, has a simple structure, and is safe and reliable to use. Attached Figure Description

[0020] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a shower chair with folding function, including a seat (1), a backrest (2), a support frame (3) and a folding assembly (4).
[0021] The seat (1) and backrest (2) are connected by a hinge mechanism to form a stable seat structure that is easy to fold and store. The surface of the seat (1) is provided with an anti-slip layer to improve safety during use. The backrest (2) is provided with ventilation holes to effectively reduce the stuffiness during long-term use.
[0022] The support frame (3) is made of high-strength aluminum alloy to provide sufficient structural support and has good corrosion resistance. An anti-slip pad (5) is installed at the bottom of the support frame (3) to further enhance the stability of the chair in wet and slippery environments.
[0023] The folding assembly (4) is located between the support frame (3) and the seat (1), and includes a folding hinge and a latching mechanism. The folding hinge enables the support frame (3) to fold quickly, and the latching mechanism provides a reliable locking function to ensure that the chair remains stable after folding. The elastic hinge can be spring-loaded or metal spring-loaded, and its core structure is made of high-strength spring steel or fatigue-resistant alloy material, which can withstand repeated folding without damage. The size range of the elastic hinge is 30mm-60mm in length, 5mm-10mm in width, and the elastic coefficient is 50N / m-200N / m, suitable for shower chairs of different specifications. Through mechanical simulation and fatigue testing, the elastic hinge can maintain a folding life of more than 100,000 cycles, ensuring its stability and safety of use.
[0024] The locking device can be a mechanical latch, a resilient locking pin, or a self-locking latch mechanism to achieve stable locking functionality in different usage scenarios. The locking device is made of high-strength stainless steel or wear-resistant engineering plastics to ensure its durability and reliability. The lifespan of the locking device has been tested and it can support at least 50,000 locking operations while providing a locking force of 20N to 50N to ensure stability in the folded state. Furthermore, mechanical testing and long-term use experiments have verified the contribution of different locking device types to the chair's stability, thereby optimizing the design.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Without departing from the technical concept of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make various modifications or equivalent substitutions, and these modifications or substitutions should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
