A cylinder 192 is fixedly connected to the front end of the long plate 19. The long plate 19 provides additional support for the handrail body 11, ensuring stability during use, preventing the handrail body 11 from shaking or tilting, and improving safety and comfort.
[0032] The sliding block 17 is located at the upper end of the fixed plate 12, and the surface of the sliding block 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the handrail body 11.
[0033] The limiting block 18 is located to the right of the sliding block 17, and the cylinder 192 is located at the lower end of the connecting column 191.
[0034] The storage mechanism 2 includes a storage box 21, a connecting plate 22 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage box 21, a baffle 23 slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage box 21, an auxiliary box 24 fixedly connected to one side of the storage box 21, and a knob 25 installed at the front end of the auxiliary box 24. The storage box 21 is used to store the handrail body 11, and the auxiliary box 24 is used to store the long board 19, thereby ensuring the safe storage of both.
[0035] The connecting plate 22 is fixedly connected to the armrest body 11. The auxiliary box 24 is located on the right side of the storage box 21. The rear end of the knob 25 is fixedly connected to the front end of the cylinder 192. The cylinder 192 is located inside the auxiliary box 24. The elderly can use the knob 25 to store the long plate 19, which further simplifies the operation process.
[0036] The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a bed body 31, a protective plate 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the bed body 31, and a storage cabinet 33 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the protective plate 32.

[0037] The protective panel 32 is located on the left side of the bed body 31, and the storage box 21 is located at the front and rear ends of the protective panel 32.
[0038] The implementation principle of a conveniently foldable bedside handrail for the elderly in this embodiment is as follows: When the handrail body 11 is needed, the elderly person first rotates the handrail body 11 out of the storage box 21. The connecting plate 22 can drive the handrail body 11 to rotate, so that the handrail body 11 is parallel to the horizontal ground. Then, the elderly person rotates the long plate 19 outward through the knob 25, so that the long plate 19 is perpendicular to the horizontal ground. Then, the elderly person slides the sliding block 17 through the groove on the sliding block 17. The sliding block 17 can drive the limiting plate 15 to move together through the fixing post 16. The moving limiting plate 15 can compress the spring 14 while driving the limiting post 13 to move. The spring 14 will contract under the compression force. The purpose of sliding the sliding block 17 is to let the limiting block 18 on the long plate 19 enter the interior of the handrail body 11. Then, the elderly person releases the sliding block 17, and the spring 14 will lose the compression force and push the limiting plate 15 to move again. The connecting post 191 on the long plate 19 can be effectively limited, allowing the handrail body 11 and the long plate 19 to merge. The long plate 19 can provide stable support for the handrail body 11, thus ensuring the stability of the handrail body 11 during use. When the handrail body 11 is not needed, the elderly can pull the sliding block 17 to release the limiting plate 15 from limiting the connecting post 191, and then easily separate the handrail body 11 from the long plate 19. The elderly can put the handrail body 11 into the storage box 21, and then put the long plate 19 into the auxiliary box 24 by rotating the knob 25, thus completing the storage. The baffle 23 can effectively protect the handrail body 11 and prevent the handrail body 11 from accumulating dust over a long period of time. The storage cabinet 33 on the protective plate 32 can hold daily necessities for easy access by the elderly. The whole operation process is convenient and quick, and the elderly can easily complete the storage of the handrail body 11, while also ensuring the stability of the handrail body 11 during use.
