Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of toilet chair technology, specifically a folding toilet chair for bathing. Background Technology

[0002] A toilet chair is an assistive device designed specifically for people with mobility impairments. It typically consists of a sturdy frame, a comfortable seat, and armrests; some models also feature height adjustment and non-slip footrests. Placed in the bedroom or bathroom, it replaces the traditional toilet, allowing the elderly, pregnant women, post-operative patients, or those with mobility issues to safely and conveniently complete the toileting process without straining to get up or squat. This improves the convenience of daily living and enhances the user's sense of security and dignity, making it a commonly used age-friendly or barrier-free assistive tool in home care.

[0003] A search revealed that application number CN202022147770.2 discloses a folding toilet chair, including a left and right ring for supporting the buttocks; a rotating mechanism for folding the left and right rings; and a left and right support, respectively positioned below the left and right rings and hinged together at their midpoints. This allows the toilet chair to be folded as close as possible, reducing the storage space required. A connecting rope runs through the connecting rods and support rods in the left and right supports, which are detachably connected. The connecting rope guides the installation of the connecting rods and support rods, allowing the support rods and connecting rods to move along the axis of the connecting rope during installation, eliminating the need to find additional parts. This makes installation easier and more convenient, improving efficiency and speeding up the process.

[0004] However, while the hinged design of the left and right supports of the aforementioned toilet chair facilitates folding, the hinge point can easily become a stress concentration area when bearing weight. If the folding structure is not strong enough, it may cause the support to wobble or tip over, posing a safety hazard, especially for heavier users. Furthermore, the seat cushion is divided into left and right rings, and there is a gap when unfolded. When a user sits down, the pressure on their buttocks may cause the left and right rings to shift inwards, easily pinching the buttocks and potentially causing skin redness, swelling, or even abrasions.

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.

[0028] Example:

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0030] A folding toilet chair for bathing includes:

[0031] The toilet chair includes a seat cushion 1 with a limiting opening 101. A toilet seat 2 is fitted into the limiting opening 101. The seat cushion 1 is installed above the front legs 3 and the back legs 6, which are connected by a folding assembly. The seat cushion 1 has armrests 4 on both sides and a backrest 5 above the armrests 4. The backrest 5, armrests 4, and front legs 3 are formed by processing and bending the same tube.

[0032] The folding assembly is rotatably connected to the front leg 3, the rear leg 6, and the armrest 4 via a connector, and is used to fold the toilet chair.

[0033] In this embodiment, the front leg 3, armrest 4, and backrest 5 are integrally formed from a single tube through processes such as bending, forming a whole structure. There is no welding or splicing at the joints of the tubes. When the toilet chair bears the weight of the human body, the gravity is transmitted to the front leg 3 through the backrest 5 and armrest 4. When the user sits on the seat cushion 1, the force can be evenly distributed along the tube, thereby improving the overall bending resistance and avoiding the deformation caused by stress concentration in traditional spliced ​​structures. When unfolding or folding, the armrest 4 acts as a linkage hub, driving the front leg 3 to move synchronously, simplifying the unfolding structure and making it easy for the user to quickly unfold the toilet chair.

[0034] Specifically, the folding assembly includes a first connector 401 and a second connector 602. The first connector 401 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the armrest 4 and is hinged to the outside of the connecting part 601 at the top of the rear foot 6 by bolts.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lower end face of the handrail 4 is connected by the first connector 401 (e.g., ...). Figure 4 The connection 601 between the rear leg 6 and the top of the armrest 4 is bolted. When the toilet chair is unfolded, the rear leg 6 moves open and close relative to the armrest 4 with the bolt as the axis, forming the core rotation fulcrum of the folding component. Through single-point hinge, the user can quickly fold or unfold the toilet chair by pulling the rear leg 6.

[0036] Specifically, the rear end of the connecting part 601 is rotatably connected to the outside of the second connecting member 602, the middle part of the second connecting member 602 is rotatably connected to the hinge 9, the other end of the hinge 9 is rotatably connected to the inside of the front foot 3, and the upper end face of the second connecting member 602 is connected to the seat cushion 1 by bolts.

[0037] In this embodiment, the middle part of the second connector 602 is connected to the inner side of the front leg 3 via a hinge 9. When unfolded, the hinge 9 connects the second connector 602 and the front leg 3, i.e., the seat cushion 1 and the front leg 3, providing support for the toilet chair. When the toilet chair is fully unfolded, the front seat cushion rod 301, the rear seat cushion rod 402, and the rear reinforcing crossbar 8 are on the same horizontal plane and jointly bear the weight of the human body. The weight is transmitted through the seat cushion 1 to the front seat cushion rod 301, the rear seat cushion rod 402, and the rear reinforcing crossbar 8, and then distributed to the front leg 3 and the rear leg 6. The force is evenly distributed, reducing the load on the connector and extending the structural life.

[0038] Specifically, a front crossbar 7 is fixedly connected between the front feet 3, and a front seat cushion bar 301 is fixedly connected to the inner front end of the armrest 4.

[0039] Specifically, a rear seat cushion rod 402 is fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting part 601 of the rear leg 6. When the toilet chair is unfolded, the rear seat cushion rod 402 is located behind the front seat cushion rod 301.

[0040] Specifically, a rear reinforcing crossbar 8 is fixedly connected above the rear leg 6. When the toilet chair is unfolded, the rear reinforcing crossbar 8 is located behind the rear seat cushion rod 402.

[0041] Specifically, the front seat cushion rod 301, the rear seat cushion rod 402, and the rear reinforcing crossbar 8 are at the same height when the toilet chair is unfolded by the folding assembly, and are used to support the seat cushion 1.

[0042] Specifically, a handle 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom front of the seat cushion 1.

[0043] Specifically, when the toilet chair is unfolded for use, a removable bedpan can be installed under the seat cushion 1. When it is not needed for a long time, the bedpan can be removed, and the folding toilet chair reduces space occupation.

[0044] When using this utility model, pick up the folded toilet chair and place it on the ground. Pull the rear leg 6 backward. The rear leg 6 rotates relative to the front leg 3 through the hinge 9 on the second connector 602. At the same time, the first connector 401 rotates between the lower end of the armrest 4 and the top connection part 601 of the rear leg 6, causing the rear leg 6 to gradually unfold. When the toilet chair is fully unfolded, the front seat rod 301, the rear seat rod 402 and the rear reinforcing crossbar 8 are at the same height, which together provide stable support for the seat 1 and ensure stability during use. Place the toilet chair on top of the squat toilet and lift the toilet lid 2 inside the upper limit opening 101 of the seat 1 to use it.

[0045] When storage or transport is required, the seat cushion 1 is lifted up by the handle 102, causing the rear leg 6 to rotate inward with the first connector 401 and the second connector 602 as the pivot points. At the same time, the front leg 3 and the rear leg 6 rotate relative to each other through the hinge 9, thus folding up the toilet chair and reducing the space occupied by the toilet chair.

[0046] All other parts of this utility model not described herein are the same as existing technology or are known technology or can be implemented using existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
