[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-3As shown in this embodiment, an L-shaped wall-mounted handrail for a shower room includes an L-shaped rod 2. A mounting foot 1 is installed at each end and corner of the L-shaped rod 2. An extension assembly 3 is installed on the horizontal section of the L-shaped rod 2. The extension assembly 3 includes an extension rod 301, a guide rod 302, a second gear 303, a rotating block 304, a first gear 305, a support plate 306, and a lead screw 307. After the L-shaped rod 2 is installed on the inner wall of the shower room, the first gear 305 can be rotated by the rotating block 304. The rotation of the first gear 305 causes the two second gears 303 to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 307 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 307, under the action of the threaded transmission, causes the extension rod 301 to move outwards from the L-shaped rod 2 under the action of the guide rod 302. This increases the handrail length of the L-shaped rod 2 after the extension rod 301 extends, expanding the range of motion for the elderly during bathing.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown in this embodiment, both the L-shaped rod 2 and the mounting foot 1 are made of stainless steel. The L-shaped rod 2 has a hollow structure, and the mounting foot 1 can make the L-shaped rod 2 more tightly connected to the shower room wall.

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two support plates 306, which are symmetrically installed in the middle of the horizontal section of the L-shaped rod 2. Each support plate 306 is equipped with a lead screw 307. The support plates 306 are mainly used to provide rotational support for the lead screw 307 to ensure the synchronous rotation of the lead screw 307 under the action of the gear 303. An extension rod 301 is connected to the lead screw 307. Two guide rods 302 are also symmetrically installed on both sides of the lead screw 307 on the support plates 306. The guide rods 302 are mainly used to limit the rotation of the extension rod 301 relative to the inside of the L-shaped rod 2, ensuring convenient sliding adjustment of the extension rod 301 along the L-shaped rod 2. The guide rods 302 and the extension rods 301 are in sliding cooperation. The lead screw 307 is threadedly connected to the extension rod 301. A gear 2 303 is connected to the side of the lead screw 307 opposite to the extension rod 301. The gear 2 303 is a bevel gear. There are two gears 2 303. Gear 1 305 is installed between the two gears 2 303. Gear 1 305 meshes with gear 2 303. Gear 1 305 is mainly used to transmit the power transmitted by the rotating block 304 to gear 2 303 through gear 2 303, so as to realize the convenient rotation of gear 2 303. Gear 1 305 has a rotating shaft. The rotating block 304 is installed on the exposed end of the rotating shaft on gear 1 305. The rotating block 304 has a disc-shaped structure. The rotating block 304 can be turned by hand to realize the convenient rotation of gear 1 305.

[0027] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the L-shaped rod 2 is first installed on the wall inside the shower room with the help of the mounting feet 1. Before the elderly person takes a bath, the gear 1 305 can be rotated by the rotating block 304. After the gear 1 305 rotates, the two gears 2 303 will rotate. After the gears 2 303 rotate, the lead screw 307 will rotate. After the lead screw 307 rotates, the extension rod 301 will move outward of the L-shaped rod 2 under the action of the guide rod 302 under the action of the thread transmission. This will increase the hand-holding length of the L-shaped rod 2 after the extension rod 301 extends, thus expanding the range of motion of the elderly person when taking a bath.

[0028] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
