Therefore, a feature defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model provides a bathroom barrier-free handrail installation structure, including two upright plates 100. A handrail frame 101 is mounted on the outer surface of the upright plates 100 via a height adjustment mechanism 200. A sleeve 102 is fitted onto the lower outer surface of the handrail frame 101. Mounting rods 103 are mounted on the bottom of the sleeve 102 and on both sides of the outer surface of the upright plates 100. Mounting discs 104 are mounted on the ends of the mounting rods 103. A waterproof sleeve 105 is fitted onto the outer surface of the mounting rods 103. A sealing gasket 106 is provided on the end face of the waterproof sleeve 105, and a sealing ring 107 is provided on the inner wall of the waterproof sleeve 105. A fixing mechanism 300 is provided between the waterproof sleeve 105 and the mounting rods 103.

[0027] In use, the mounting plate 104 on the outside of the upright plate 100 is fixed to the bathroom wall with bolts, and the mounting plate 104 at the bottom of the sleeve 102 is fixed to the bathroom floor with bolts. Then, the waterproof sleeve 105 is placed over the outside of the mounting plate 104, and the sealing gasket 106 is pressed against the wall or floor. The waterproof sleeve 105 is fixed to the outside of the mounting rod 103 using the fixing mechanism 300. At this time, the sealing gasket 106 prevents water from seeping into the interior of the waterproof sleeve 105 from the bottom, and the sealing ring 107 prevents water from seeping into the interior of the waterproof sleeve 105 from the gap between the waterproof sleeve 105 and the mounting rod 103. This can prevent water from corroding the bolts, ensure the strength and stability of the bolts for long-term use, and improve the service life of the entire barrier-free handrail.

[0028] Furthermore, after installation, the height of the handrail 101 can be adjusted by the height adjustment mechanism 200 and the sleeve 102. This allows the handrail 101 to be adjusted to the optimal height for exerting force according to the user's height. When the user grabs the handrail 101 to stand up or sit down, they can exert force for support, reduce the risk of falling, and improve the safety of using the toilet.

[0029] Preferably, the height adjustment mechanism 200 includes a sliding sleeve 201 sleeved on the outer surface of the upright plate 100, a handrail 101 mounted on the outer surface of the sliding sleeve 201, and a plurality of first adjustment holes 202 evenly spaced along the height direction on the outer surface of the upright plate 100. A first adjustment bolt 203 matching the first adjustment hole 202 is mounted on the outer surface of the sliding sleeve 201.

[0030] When the height of the handrail 101 needs to be adjusted, first unscrew the first adjusting bolt 203 from the current first adjusting hole 202 to release the fixation of the sliding sleeve 201. Then slide the sliding sleeve 201 up and down to the appropriate height, and then screw the first adjusting bolt 203 into the corresponding first adjusting hole 202. When adjusting the height of the handrail 101, its bottom moves up and down in the sleeve 102, so that the height of the handrail 101 can be adjusted smoothly.

[0031] Preferably, the fixing mechanism 300 includes a groove 301 formed on the surface of the mounting rod 103, a top rod 302 is provided inside the groove 301, a spring 303 is provided inside the groove 301, and the two ends of the spring 303 abut against the inner wall of the groove 301 and the top rod 302 respectively. The surface of the waterproof sleeve 105 is provided with an insertion hole 304 that matches the top rod 302.

[0032] After the mounting plate 104 is secured with bolts, the waterproof sleeve 105 is slid to press the sealing gasket 106 against the wall or ground. At this time, the position of the insertion hole 304 corresponds to that of the top rod 302. Under the elastic force of the spring 303, the top rod 302 can automatically insert into the insertion hole 304, thereby securing the waterproof sleeve 105. When the insertion hole 304 is pushed into the groove 301, and its end is pulled out of the insertion hole 304, the waterproof sleeve 105 can be released from its fixation.

[0033] Preferably, the outer surface of the handrail 101 is provided with a plurality of second adjustment holes 400 at equal intervals along its height direction, and the outer surface of the sleeve 102 is fitted with second adjustment bolts 401 that match the second adjustment holes 400. The spacing between two adjacent second adjustment holes 400 is the same as the spacing between two adjacent first adjustment holes 202.

[0034] When the handrail 101 is adjusted to a suitable height and the first adjusting bolt 203 is screwed into the first adjusting hole 202, the end of the second adjusting bolt 401 also corresponds to one of the second adjusting holes 400. At this time, the second adjusting bolt 401 can be screwed into the corresponding second adjusting hole 400, thereby connecting the bottom of the handrail 101 with the sleeve 102 and ensuring the overall support strength of the handrail 101.

[0035] Even if the second adjusting bolt 401 and the first adjusting bolt 203 are corroded, since they are located on the outside, they can be replaced in time when corrosion is observed, without affecting the normal use of the entire handrail.

[0036] Preferably, the end of the socket 304 is a hemispherical structure, and the inner wall of the waterproof sleeve 105 is provided with an arc-shaped part 500.

[0037] When the waterproof sleeve 105 is slid away from the mounting plate 104, the end of the socket 304 is inside the waterproof sleeve 105. Due to space constraints, it is difficult to press the socket 304 directly. Therefore, by setting the arc-shaped part 500, the waterproof sleeve 105 can be slid towards the mounting plate 104, and the arc-shaped part 500 can be used to squeeze the end of the socket 304, thereby compressing the socket 304 into the groove 301, so that the waterproof sleeve 105 can slide smoothly on the mounting rod 103.

[0038] Preferably, a connecting rod 600 is installed between the two handrail frames 101, and the connecting rod 600 has a U-shaped structure.

[0039] By connecting the two handrails 101 together through the connecting rod 600, the handrail 101's ability to resist lateral forces is improved, and the overall structural strength is enhanced. The U-shaped structure can adapt to the height of the toilet tank, allowing the tank lid to be opened normally.

[0040] Preferably, the outer surface of the handrail 101 is provided with anti-slip stripes 700.

[0041] By incorporating anti-slip stripes 700, the friction between the user's hand and the hand is increased when the user grips the handrail 101, reducing the chance of slipping and further improving safety.

[0042] Preferably, the sealing ring 107 is disposed between the insertion hole 304 and the arc-shaped portion 500.

[0043] It can prevent water from seeping into the interior of the waterproof sleeve 105 from between the waterproof sleeve 105 and the mounting rod 103, thus preventing corrosion of the bolts.

[0044] The above is a detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments, and it should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, any equivalent substitutions or obvious modifications made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and which have the same performance or use, should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
