[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a temporary squat toilet for ward care, including a squat toilet body 1, a trough 2 provided in the middle of the upper end of the squat toilet body 1, and a privacy shielding structure around the outer surface of the squat toilet body 1, the shielding structure including a groove 9, a rotating block 4, a support column 5, a shielding cloth 6, and elastic rings 7. The squat toilet body 1 has grooves 9 on both sides, a rotating block 4 is movably arranged on one side of the groove 9 via a rotating shaft, a support column 5 is movably arranged on the surface of the rotating block 4 via a rotating shaft, a shielding cloth 6 is arranged between two adjacent support columns 5, and elastic rings 7 are fixedly arranged at the four corners of the outer surface of the shielding cloth 6, the shielding cloth 6 is fixed to the outer surface of the support column 5 by the elastic rings 7.
[0023] A toilet cover 8 is movably mounted on one side of the upper end of the squat toilet body 1 via a pivot. A groove 9 is provided on the outer surface of the toilet cover 8. By flipping the toilet cover 8, the toilet trough 2 can be blocked to prevent odors from escaping when the device is not in use.
[0024] Support plates 10 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the squat toilet body 1. The support plates 10 can ensure the left and right stability of the squat toilet body 1 and prevent the device from tipping over during use.
[0025] The squat toilet body 1 has a storage chamber 11 inside. The squat toilet body 1 has a drain valve 12 at the lower middle part. The storage chamber 11 can temporarily store the user's excrement. The caregiver can take the device to the public toilet at regular intervals, such as once a day, to open the drain valve 12 to drain the waste. Then, the device can be rinsed with clean water to keep it clean and hygienic.
[0026] The rotating blocks 4 and support columns 5 are located on damped rotating shafts. With the damped rotating shafts, the rotating blocks 4 and support columns 5 are not easy to rotate on their own without human force.
[0027] The upper outer surface of the squat toilet body 1 is evenly provided with several anti-slip grooves 13. The anti-slip grooves 13 can increase the anti-slip properties of the device during use, so as to prevent the user from slipping.
[0028] Working principle: When using this device, if...

[0030] Each time this device is used, a fecal degradation agent can be poured into the storage chamber 11 in advance. The fecal degradation agent is a common chemical agent in the black water tank of RVs and can be easily purchased. Its function is to decompose organic matter: the enzymes or microorganisms in the degradation agent can decompose organic matter such as proteins and fats in feces, converting them into liquids or gases that are easier to handle, thus reducing solid residues.
[0031] Inhibits bacterial growth: By adjusting the pH level in storage chamber 11 or releasing antibacterial components, the degradation agent can inhibit the growth of putrefactive bacteria, thereby reducing odor.
[0032] Odor elimination: Some degradation agents contain activated carbon or natural plant extracts, which can adsorb or neutralize odor molecules such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia, keeping the air inside the RV fresh.
[0033] When the device is no longer needed and needs to be folded for storage, first drain and clean the device, then remove the covering cloth 6, and then rotate the support column 5 to make it horizontal, forming... Figure 4 As shown in the diagram, the rotating block 4 is then rotated so that the support column 5 can be stored inside the groove 9, thus completing the folding of the device. This allows the device to be folded and unfolded as needed for convenient transportation or storage.
