Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assistive device technology, and in particular to a bowel movement aid for elderly patients. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing aging of the population, the demand for convenient and safe bowel movement assistive devices is growing among elderly patients with limited mobility. Currently, bowel movement assistive devices for the elderly on the market (such as toilet chairs) typically include a seat and a bedpan for receiving excrement. The bedpan is usually installed under the seat at the location corresponding to the toilet seat hole through a structure such as buckles or sliding rails. However, existing bedpan assistive devices still have many inconveniences in actual use: First, the installation and removal of bedpans mostly adopt a front and rear pull-out design. When the seat back is placed against the wall, there is not enough operating space behind the bedpan, making disassembly difficult, especially for elderly patients or caregivers with weaker physical strength. Second, when emptying excrement, the bedpan must be completely removed from the seat, which not only increases the physical exertion during transportation, but also reduces the hygiene of use because the hands need to directly touch or operate the bedpan at close range. Moreover, misalignment and unstable fixation are easy to occur when reinstalling after disassembly. Third, some tiltable bedpan structures lack reliable support and restraint, and are prone to tipping over or slipping during tilting, posing a safety hazard. At the same time, the tilt angle cannot be stably controlled, resulting in incomplete emptying or splashing of excrement. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a bedpan assist device for elderly patients, which reduces the steps of completely disassembling the bedpan and hand contact, improves the ease of operation and hygiene, and ensures the safety of use through stable support and limiting structure, and improves the efficiency of excrement disposal.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a device for assisting elderly patients with defecation, including a seat and a toilet hole opened on the seat, and a bedpan for receiving excrement. The bedpan is detachably installed on the seat at a position corresponding to the lower part of the toilet hole via a set of connecting mechanisms. Through the connecting mechanisms, the bedpan can be installed on the seat from the lateral side or separated from the seat. The bedpan can tilt forward and downward while connected to the seat, so that the excrement inside flows obliquely downward along the wall of the bedpan, making it easy to empty.

[0005] Furthermore, the seat includes a seat plate, the toilet hole is opened on the seat plate, the connecting mechanism includes a sliding part arranged laterally on the lower side of the seat plate and a support assembly, the sliding part allows the commode to slide laterally under the seat plate, the support assembly is used to cooperate with the sliding part to fix the commode under the seat plate, and the commode can rotate relative to the sliding part to tilt forward and downward.

[0006] Furthermore, the sliding part includes a first slide rail and a first slide rod. The first slide rail is horizontally installed below the seat at a position corresponding to the rear side of the toilet hole. The first slide rail has a first slide groove that extends forward through the first slide rail and extends laterally through the first slide rail at one end. The first slide rod is horizontally installed at a position corresponding to the first slide rail on the rear side of the toilet bowl. The first slide rod matches the first slide rail so that it can slide along the length direction of the first slide rail.

[0007] Furthermore, the support assembly is located at the lower part of the seat, in front of the sliding part. The support assembly includes a first arc-shaped block, a second arc-shaped block, and a fixing bolt. The first arc-shaped block has an arc-shaped groove inside. The second arc-shaped block matches the arc-shaped groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention relates to a commode device for elderly patients, comprising a seat 1, a toilet hole 12 formed on the seat 1, and a bedpan 2 disposed on the seat 1 corresponding to the toilet hole 12. The bedpan 2 is detachably mounted on the seat 1 below the toilet hole 12 via a set of connecting mechanisms 3. Through the connecting mechanisms 3, the bedpan 2 can be mounted on or separated from the seat 1 from its lateral side. The bedpan 2 can tilt forward and downward while connected to the seat 1, allowing internal excrement to flow obliquely downward along the basin wall for easy emptying.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 3 The seat 1 includes a seat plate 11, and a toilet hole 12 is formed in the middle of the seat plate 11. The connecting mechanism 3 is disposed below the seat plate 11 at a position corresponding to the toilet hole 12. The connecting mechanism 3 includes a sliding part 31 and a support assembly 32 that are laterally disposed on the lower side of the seat plate 11. The sliding part 31 allows the commode 2 to slide laterally below the seat plate 11, and the support assembly 32 is used to cooperate with the sliding part 31 to fix the commode 2 below the seat plate 11.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The sliding part 31 includes a first slide rail 311 and a first slide rod 312. The first slide rail 311 is horizontally mounted below the seat 11 at a position corresponding to the rear side of the toilet hole 12. The first slide rail 311 has a first groove 313 with a circular cross-section. The first groove 313 extends forward through the first slide rail 311 and also extends laterally through the first slide rail 311. The first slide rod 312 is horizontally mounted at a position corresponding to the first slide rail 311 on the rear side of the toilet bowl 2. The first slide rod 312 matches the first slide rail 311 so that it can slide along the length direction of the first slide rail 311. At the same time, the first slide rod 312 can rotate around its own central axis within the first slide rail 311. The first slide rod 312 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the toilet bowl 2 via two connecting rods 314 on the side facing the toilet bowl 2. The first slide rail 311 has a relief groove 315 that communicates with the first slide groove 313 at the position corresponding to the two connecting rods 314. When the first slide rod 312 rotates in the first slide groove 313, the connecting rods 314 move downward into the relief groove 315.

[0027] To ensure greater stability of the first slide rod 312 within the first slide groove 313, a limiting block 316 is coaxially rotatably mounted on the non-through transverse side wall of the first slide groove 313. The limiting block 316 is polygonal, and a limiting groove 317, matching the limiting block 316, is formed at the end of the first slide rod 312 corresponding to the position of the limiting block 316. When the first slide rod 312 extends into the first slide groove 313, the limiting block 316 engages with the limiting groove 317, making the position of the first slide rod 312 more stable and preventing the toilet bowl 2 from shaking.

[0028] The support assembly 32 is located at the lower part of the seat 11, in front of the sliding part 31. The support assembly 32 includes a first arc-shaped block 321, a second arc-shaped block 322, and a fixing bolt 323. The second arc-shaped block 322 is fixedly mounted on the two rear support legs of the seat 1 by a horizontally arranged U-shaped rod 324. The second arc-shaped block 322 is arc-shaped with the central axis of the first sliding rod 312 as its center. An arc-shaped groove 325 is formed inside the first arc-shaped block 321, and the arc-shaped groove 325 extends through the first arc-shaped block 321 along the side away from the U-shaped rod 324. One end of the second arc-shaped block 322 extends into the arc-shaped groove 325 and is slidably connected to the arc-shaped groove 325, while the other end extends out of the arc-shaped groove 325 to support the lower part of the commode 2. A screw hole 329 is provided between the end of the second arc-shaped block 322 that extends into the arc-shaped groove 325 and the upper end of the first arc-shaped block 321. The screw hole 329 is opened laterally, and the fixing bolt 323 is defined as a bolt screwed into the screw hole 329.

[0029] The support assembly 32 further includes a second slide rail 326 and a second slide rod 327. The second slide rail 326 is horizontally disposed at the upper end of the second arc-shaped block 322, and a second slide groove 328 is formed within the second slide rail 326. The second slide groove 328 extends upward through the second slide rail 326 and laterally through one end of the second slide rail 326. The second slide groove 328 and the first slide groove 313 respectively extend laterally through the second slide rail 326 and the first slide rail 311 at the same end. The second slide rod 327 is horizontally mounted on the lower side of the toilet bowl 2 at a position corresponding to the second slide groove 328. The second slide rod 327 matches the second slide groove 328 so that it can slide along the length direction of the second slide groove 328.

[0030] One embodiment of the commode assist device for elderly patients of this utility model operates as follows: In use, the elderly person sits on the seat 11. Initially, the first slide rod 312 is located within the first slide groove 313, and the second slide rod 327 is located within the second slide groove 328. A bolt is screwed into the screw hole 329 to fix the relative positions of the first arc-shaped block 321 and the second arc-shaped block 322, preventing the second arc-shaped block 322 from sliding relative to the first arc-shaped block 321. In this state, the upper surface of the commode 2 is in contact with the lower surface of the seat 11.

[0031] When it needs to be emptied, the bolt is rotated outward from the screw hole 329. When the bolt separates from the second arc-shaped block 322, the second arc-shaped block 322 can slide relative to the first arc-shaped block 321. It should be emphasized that, to facilitate the movement of the commode 2, a handle 21 is provided on one side wall of the commode 2 corresponding to the transverse through end of the first slide groove 313 and the second slide groove 328. For easy emptying, the front half of the inner cavity of the commode 2 is inclined from back to front and from bottom to top. Pulling the commode 2 down using the handle 21 causes it to tilt forward and downward, emptying its contents. The commode 2 can be flushed with water, and the water used for flushing can be emptied in the same way. To remove the commode 2, simply pull it out to the transverse side of the seat 1 using the handle 21.

[0032] Compared with existing technologies, the bedpan of this utility model for elderly patients is assembled and disassembled by sliding laterally, which effectively solves the problem of insufficient operating space when the seat is placed against the wall. Moreover, it can tilt forward and downward to empty excrement in the connected state without complete disassembly, greatly reducing the number of operation steps and physical exertion, and improving the ease of operation. At the same time, it reduces the frequency of bedpan handling and direct hand contact, reduces the risk of contamination, and optimizes hygiene. Through the cooperation of the sliding part and the support component, combined with the fixing bolt locking the tilt angle and the limiting block and limiting groove restricting the sliding and rotation range, the bedpan is provided with stable support, effectively preventing side tipping or slippage and ensuring safety of use. In addition, the forward and downward tilting design of the bedpan and the tilting structure of the front half of the inner cavity from back to front and from bottom to top can guide the excrement to flow smoothly along the basin wall, ensuring thorough emptying, reducing residue and splashing, and improving emptying efficiency.
