[0002] Cognitive impairment in older adults typically refers to those who experience difficulties or impairments in cognitive function. These impairments may include, but are not limited to, memory loss, slowed thinking, difficulty concentrating, and a decline in language or spatial awareness. Older adults with cognitive impairment may face a variety of challenges in daily life. For example, they may frequently forget things that just happened, such as where they placed objects, what they just said, or what activities they were about to perform. This memory loss can cause inconvenience in their daily lives and even affect their ability to live independently.

[0003] Elderly people with cognitive impairments sometimes have difficulty recognizing and locating stored items due to memory decline. Therefore, a new technological solution is needed to address this issue. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a storage cabinet for elderly people with cognitive impairment, comprising: a cabinet body 1, a top plate 2 on the top of the cabinet body 1 and a bottom plate 11 at the bottom, the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 2 being fixedly connected to the cabinet body 1, and a rotating mechanism 3 on both sides of the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 2, the rotating mechanism 3 including a connecting shaft 12 fixedly installed with the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 2, a rotating shaft 13 on the surface of the connecting shaft 12 and rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 12, and two sets of support rods 14 on the side of the rotating shaft 13 forming a fan-shaped support structure. The support rod 14 has a protective door 6 on its side, and a connector 15 is provided at the connection between the protective door 6 and the support rod 14. The support rod 14 is fixedly connected to the protective door 6 through the connector 15. The cabinet 1 has several sets of shelves 4 distributed at equal intervals inside, and the shelves 4 are fixedly connected to the cabinet 1. The bottom of the cabinet 1 has a mounting plate 18, and the lower part of the mounting plate 18 has a support leg 19. The back of the cabinet 1 has a hanging plate 10, and the side of the hanging plate 10 has a mounting base 9. The cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 9 through the hanging plate 10. The top of the cabinet 1 has a top plate 2. A base plate 11 is provided at the bottom, and the base plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top plate 2 and the cabinet body 1. Rotating mechanisms 3 are provided on both sides of the base plate 11 and the top plate 2. Each rotating mechanism 3 includes a connecting shaft 12 fixedly installed on the base plate 11 and the top plate 2. A rotating shaft 13 is provided on the surface of the connecting shaft 12, and the rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 12. Two sets of support rods 14 are provided on the side of the rotating shaft 13, forming a fan-shaped support structure. A protective door 6 is provided on the side of the support rod 14, and a connector 15 is provided at the connection between the protective door 6 and the support rod 14. The support rod 14 is connected to the protective door 6 via the connector 15. The protective door 6 is fixedly connected to the cabinet body 1. This arrangement allows the protective door 6 to be distributed in a circle around the rotating shaft 13, covering the opening of the cabinet body 1 to form a seal. The protective door 6 is made of transparent acrylic material, allowing the elderly to clearly see the items stored inside. Inside the cabinet body 1, there are several sets of shelves 4 distributed at equal intervals and fixedly connected to the cabinet body 1. The shelves 4 are painted in different colors, making it easier for the elderly to understand the location of items by color. At the bottom of the cabinet body 1, there is a mounting plate 18 and a support leg 19 at the bottom of the mounting plate 18. The support leg 19 makes the bottom of the cabinet body 1 elevated, making it easy to clean.

[0021] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown: The protective door 6 has an arc-shaped structure and is made of transparent acrylic material. The arc-shaped design allows the protective door 6 to fit more closely to the opening of the cabinet 1, forming a better sealing effect. The transparent acrylic material allows the elderly to clearly see the items inside the storage cabinet, making it easier for them to find the items they need based on their visual memory.

[0022] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown: Several sets of shelves 4 are painted in different colors, and the surface of the shelves 4 is provided with anti-slip mats 5. The different colored shelves 4 can help the elderly distinguish different storage areas by color, enhance memory, and make it easier to remember the location of items. The anti-slip mats 5 prevent items from sliding on the shelves 4, ensuring the stability and safety of the items inside the locker.

[0023] Further improvements, such as Figure 3 As shown: The top plate 2 has a roller groove 17 inside and a set of support rods 14 has a ball bearing 16 at the bottom. The ball bearing 16 is slidably connected to the roller groove 17. This arrangement makes the protective door 6 open and close more smoothly, reduces friction and resistance, and improves the convenience of use.

[0024] Further improvements, such as Figure 4 As shown: The surface of the support leg 19 is provided with a fixed protective pad 20. The protective pad 20 protects the contact surface between the support leg 19 and the ground and prevents damage caused by long-term friction.

[0025] Further improvements, such as Figure 4 As shown: The mounting plate 18 and the support leg 19 are provided in two sets, and one set of support leg 19 is located between the two sets of support rods 14. The support leg 19 located between the support rods 14 plays a certain limiting role, which limits the maximum range of opening of the protective door 6.

[0026] Further improvements, such as Figure 1 As shown: The surface of the protective door 6 is provided with a fixed handle 7 and a frosted surface 8. The design of the handle 7 makes it easier for the elderly to open and close the protective door 6, improving the convenience of use.

[0027] Working Principle: When elderly people need to store items, they can clearly see the shelves 4 and the location of the items inside the locker through the transparent acrylic protective door 6. They can choose a suitable storage area based on the color of the shelf 4 or their memory of the location. The elderly person opens the protective door 6 and places the item on the selected shelf 4. The anti-slip pad 5 ensures the stability of the item on the shelf 4, preventing it from sliding or falling. Simultaneously, the sliding connection between the ball bearing 16 and the roller groove 17 makes the protective door 6 open and close more smoothly, reducing the difficulty of operation for the elderly. When the elderly person needs to retrieve an item, they again find the desired item through the transparent acrylic protective door 6. Then, they grasp the handle 7 and easily open the protective door 6 to retrieve the required item. The frosted surface 8 design increases the grip of the handle 7 and prevents slippage. During use, the support legs 19 and the protective pad 20 work together to ensure the stability and safety of the locker.
