[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 A commode chair for elderly people with limited mobility includes a chair body 1. A support column 2 is welded to the inner side of the chair body 1, and connecting rods 3 are symmetrically connected to the lower side of the support column 2. Insertion rods 4 are inserted into the interior of each connecting rod 3, and a support plate 5 is provided at the bottom end of each insertion rod 4. A foot pedal 6 is distributed at the front end of the support plate 5. A U-shaped frame 13 is connected to the upper side of the support plate 5, and a fixed shaft 14 is connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 13. The foot pedal 6 is movably sleeved on the outer side of the fixed shaft 14. The U-shaped frame 13, with its U-shaped structure, can support the fixed shaft 14. Since the foot pedal 6 is sleeved on the outer side of the fixed shaft 14, caregivers can push the foot pedal 6 to make it slide along the outer wall of the fixed shaft 14. When the foot pedal 6 is rotated to 180 degrees, the outer side of the foot pedal 6 is limited by the support plate 5 and cannot rotate. At this time, the elderly can step on the foot pedal 6 for support.

[0023] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It can be seen that the connecting rods 3 are connected to the support block 7 on the side that are close to each other, and the support block 7 is connected to the threaded rod 8 through the bearing at the center position. The threaded rod 8 is fitted with a retaining strip 10 on the outside, and the retaining strip 10 is set with a U-shaped structure. The bottom end of the connecting rod 3 is provided with a moving groove that matches the retaining strip 10. The insert rod 4 is provided with vertically equidistant grooves that match the retaining strip 10. The end of the threaded rod 8 is connected to the rotating block 9. The retaining strip 10 is provided with an external thread that matches the threaded rod 8. By rotating the threaded rod 8, it can be threaded to engage with the retaining strip 10, thereby driving the U-shaped retaining strip 10 to move under force, so as to meet the purpose of adjusting the height of the support plate 5.

[0024] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3 It can be seen that the two ends of the support block 7 are symmetrically connected with guide rods 11, and the inside of the clip 10 is provided with a slot that matches the guide rod 11. During use, the guide rod 11 and the slot cooperate with each other to guide the clip 10, so as to ensure that the clip 10 is stably inserted into the inside of the connecting rod 3 and the insertion rod 4.

[0025] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 It can be seen that the top of the insertion rod 4 is connected to a sliding block 12, and the side wall of the connecting rod 3 is provided with a sliding groove that matches the sliding block 12. Through the cooperation of the sliding block 12 and the sliding groove, the insertion rod 4 can be guided to ensure that it slides stably inside the connecting rod 3.

[0026] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that there are sleeve rods symmetrically connected above the support plate 5, and the bottom ends of the insertion rods 4 are all inserted into the sleeve rods. The sides of the sleeve rods are connected to the insertion rods 4 by bolts. By the cooperation of the sleeve rods and bolts, the support plate 5 can be removed from the bottom ends of the two sets of insertion rods 4, which makes it convenient for workers to replace the damaged support plate 5.

[0027] Furthermore, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 It can be seen that a handle 15 is connected to one side of the pedal 6, and the outer surface of the handle 15 is evenly distributed with anti-slip particles. Through the cooperation of the handle 15 and the anti-slip particles, it is easy for the staff to rotate and flip the pedal 6.

[0028] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 It can be seen that an anti-slip pad is glued to the other side of the pedal 6, and the outer surface of the anti-slip pad is evenly textured with anti-slip patterns. Through the cooperation of the anti-slip pad and the anti-slip patterns, the friction between the elderly's feet and the pedal 6 can be effectively guaranteed, thereby improving the safety of the device during use.

[0029] Working principle: When using this utility model, the staff can first place the device in a suitable position in the bathroom. Then, the caregiver can first pull the handle 15, so that the pedal 6 is rotated under force, and the end of the pedal 6 can slide along the outer surface of the fixed shaft 14 under force, so that the pedal 6 rotates 180 degrees and extends to the front end of the commode chair body 1. Then, the elderly can sit on the commode chair body 1 to use the toilet. During the toileting process, the elderly can step on the pedal 6 to raise and support their feet. After using the toilet, the caregiver can rotate the pedal 6 again to store it on top of the support plate 5.

[0030] When elderly people of different body types use this device, caregivers can first rotate the rotating block 9 to drive the threaded rod 8 to rotate simultaneously, thereby making the locking strip 10 and the threaded rod 8 threadedly engaged. This allows the locking strip 10 to be pulled out from inside the connecting rod 3 and the insertion rod 4, releasing the restriction on the insertion rod 4. Then, the staff can pull the support plate 5 up and down, causing the two sets of insertion rods 4 distributed at its top to slide along the inner wall of the connecting rod 3. After pushing the support plate 5 to a suitable height, the staff can rotate the rotating block 9 in the opposite direction again, causing the locking strip 10 to be forcefully embedded back into the insertion rod 4 and the connecting rod 3, thereby achieving the restriction on the insertion rod 4. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.
