[0026] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, a bedside armrest includes: a support rod 1 and an armrest rod 2;

[0027] The handrail 2 is connected to support rods 1 at both ends. A locking component 3 is provided at the connection between the handrail 2 and the support rod 1. A connector is provided between the button component 6 and the locking component 3. When the button component 6 is locked, the locking component 3 is restricted from unlocking. When the button component 6 is unlocked, the locking component 3 is allowed to unlock. The handrail 2 is configured to switch between a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the handrail 2 and the support rod 1 are close to each other. In the extended state, the handrail 2 and the support rod 1 are far apart. By setting the handrail 2 to switch between the retracted and extended states, the height of the handrail can be adjusted according to the needs of users of different body types, so that users can maintain their balance when getting up. This solves the problem that the existing bedside handrails have a fixed height and cannot meet the support height needs of different users.

[0028] Furthermore, the support rod 1 is provided with multiple connecting rods, and an auxiliary rod 11 is provided between the connecting rods connected to the handrail 2. The auxiliary rod 11 is used to abut between the two connecting rods to improve the stability of the support rod 1 structure. A retaining ring 12 is provided at one end of the support rod 1 near the handrail 2. The retaining ring 12 is used to prevent the handrail 2 from disengaging from the support rod 1 during the extended state. Multiple positioning holes 13 are provided on the support rod 1. The positioning holes 13 are used to engage the locking block 33 to realize the height adjustment of the bedside handrail. The two ends of the handrail 2 are sleeved with the support rod 1. The handrail 2 is covered with an armrest glove 5, which can increase the friction between the handrail 2 and the palm. In order to improve the protection of the bedside armrest, multiple partition bars can be vertically and evenly arranged between the auxiliary bar 11 and the handrail 2. The first end of the partition bar is fixedly connected to the handrail 2, and the second end of the partition bar is sleeved on the auxiliary bar 11, so that the partition bar can move up and down together with the handrail 2. By dividing the space between the handrail 2 and the auxiliary bar 11 through the partition bar, the user's body parts are prevented from getting stuck between the handrail 2 and the auxiliary bar 11, thus improving the safety of the bedside armrest.

[0029] The support rod 1 can be a "U"-shaped support rod formed by splicing multiple connecting rods; it can be a "U"-shaped support rod formed by bending a single connecting rod; it can also be a single connecting rod connected to the end of the handrail 2 to form a support rod 1 that can stand vertically on the ground, or multiple connecting rods spliced ​​together and connected to the end of the handrail 2 to form a support rod 1 with telescopic height adjustment, making the entire bedside handrail height adjustable; it can also be based on the above embodiments by adding one or more connecting rods at the connection between the support rod 1 and the handrail 2 to achieve multi-level telescopic adjustment of the handrail 2. The handrail 2 can be a "U"-shaped handrail 2 formed by splicing multiple rods; it can be a "U"-shaped handrail 2 formed by bending a single rod; it can also be a "U"-shaped handrail 2 formed by splicing multiple rods with arc-shaped handles extending outward from both ends of the top rod.

[0030] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4-7 As shown, the handrail 2 is provided with locking components 3 at both ends and a button component 6 at the middle position. A connecting member is provided between the button component 6 and the locking component 3. The connecting member can be a steel wire rope. The button component 6 is connected to the locking component 3 through the connecting member to realize the synchronous movement of the two. That is, when the button component 6 is locked, the locking component 3 is restricted from unlocking, and when the button component 6 is unlocked, the locking component 3 is allowed to unlock, thereby realizing the fixation and extension of the handrail 2. The locking assembly 3 is provided with a sleeve 31, and a slider 32 is slidably disposed inside the sleeve 31. A groove 322 is formed on the slider 32, and a slot 321 is provided on the side wall of the slider 32. The slot 321 is used to fix the connecting piece. The slider 32 is moved by the connecting piece. A locking block 33 is fitted on the slider 32 at the position of the groove 322. A locking head is provided on the side of the locking block 33 near the positioning hole 13. The locking head is adapted to the positioning hole 13. When the handrail is fixed, the locking head is engaged in the positioning hole 13. A first spring 34 is connected to the side of the locking block 33 away from the positioning hole 13. When the connecting piece moves the slider 32 upward, the slider 32 moves backward and squeezes the first spring 34, so that the locking head is disengaged from the positioning hole 13, and the handrail 2 is in the unlocked state.

[0031] The button assembly 6 is provided with a mounting plate 61. The mounting plate 61 has through holes 611 formed alternately on both sides. The connector passes through the through holes 611 through the mounting plate 61. The first end of the connector is engaged with the abutting block 63, and the second end of the connector is engaged with the groove 321 of the slider 32. The mounting plate 61 is provided with a button 62. The button 62 has a protrusion on the side near the abutting block 63. The mounting plate 61 has abutting blocks 63 arranged alternately on both sides. Multiple second springs 64 are provided between the button 62 and the mounting plate 61. When the button 62 is pressed, the protrusion of the button 62 abuts against the abutting block 63 and drives the abutting block 63 to move to both sides. The movement of the abutting block 63 drives the connector to move. Through the connector, the slider 32 connected to the other end of the connector moves upward, thereby unlocking the handrail 2.

[0032] The handrail 2 is configured to switch between a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the handrail 2 and the support rod 1 are close to each other, and in the extended state, the handrail 2 and the support rod 1 are far apart. By adjusting the height of the handrail 2, the bedside handrail can be adjusted according to the needs of users of different body types, so that users can maintain their balance when getting up.
