Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of living tools for the elderly, and more specifically, to a rotatable commode chair for the elderly. Background Technology

[0002] Some patients (or the elderly, disabled people) cannot use squat toilets because they are unable to squat. If there is no toilet in the home, they can only use a commode chair. A commode chair consists of a frame, a seat, and a bedpan. The frame supports the seat, and there is an oval hole in the center of the seat. The bedpan is installed on the frame and located below the seat. The oval hole in the seat is located directly above the pelvic cavity of the bedpan.

[0003] Currently, the commode seat has the potty located directly below the oval opening. After using the toilet, the elderly need to maintain a semi-squatting position to wipe their bottom. Due to the limited mobility of the elderly, wiping while semi-squatting is quite strenuous and inconvenient. In addition, traditional commode seats are not convenient to adjust the height according to the height of the elderly, which also makes them somewhat inconvenient to use. Further improvements can be made.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a rotatable commode chair for the elderly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The rotatable commode chair for the elderly provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A rotatable commode chair for the elderly includes a seat body and a rotating basin. The seat body has four sets of legs fixedly installed at the corners of its bottom surface. One of the legs has an annular groove on its surface. The leg with the annular groove is the left front leg. A collar is rotatably fitted on the outside of the annular groove. The outer diameter of the collar is smaller than the outer diameter of the leg to prevent the collar from moving axially. The rotating basin is fixedly connected to the surface of the collar by a connecting rod. The maximum size of the rotating basin is smaller than the distance between the legs.

[0006] The above technical solution allows the elderly to easily rotate the rotating basin out of the seat body after using the toilet, thus avoiding the rotating basin obstructing the space under their buttocks. This makes it easier for the elderly to reach under their buttocks to wipe, saving them the trouble of bending over and squatting to wipe their buttocks, improving the convenience of wiping and thus enhancing the ease of use.

[0007] Furthermore, a screw is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the outrigger, and a sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the screw. The screw and the sleeve are arranged coaxially, and both the screw and the sleeve are made of metal to improve the support performance. A foot is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the sleeve, and an anti-slip pad is adhered to the bottom surface of the foot to prevent slippage.

[0008] With the above technical solution, the elderly can raise or lower the overall height of this application by rotating the sleeve, making it suitable for elderly people of different heights and further improving the convenience of use.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner wall of the sleeve is provided with an internal thread that mates with the screw thread, which is a common type of threaded connection.

[0010] With the above technical solution, when adjusting the height, the elderly can hold the base with one hand, rotate the base to drive the sleeve to rotate, and adjust the total length of the sleeve and screw through the threaded engagement of the sleeve and screw, thereby changing the support height.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the seat body is provided with a through hole, and the through hole is an elliptical hole with a size smaller than that of the rotating basin.

[0012] The through-hole size obtained through the above technical solution is a national standard value and is a common structure in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0013] Furthermore, a soft pad made of sponge material is fixedly installed on the top surface of the seat body above the through hole.

[0014] The above technical solution involves wrapping the outer surface of the cushion with a waterproof layer, thereby improving the comfort of riding.

[0015] Furthermore, armrests are fixedly installed on the front of the seat back panel, and two sets of armrests are arranged.

[0016] The above technical solution makes it easy for the elderly to hold onto the handrail, thus facilitating their sitting down and standing up. This is a common structure in this field.

[0017] Furthermore, the collar is rotatably connected to the ring groove via a damping bearing.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the damping bearing prevents the collar from rotating randomly and plays a positioning role.

[0019] Furthermore, the rotating basin contains a chamber pot, the top opening of which has a larger area than the through hole, reducing the leakage of feces. The chamber pot is placed directly inside the rotating basin for easy retrieval, and a handle is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating basin.

[0020] The above technical solution makes it easy for the elderly to pull the handle outwards and rotate the basin, making it convenient for them to use.

[0021] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: The rotating basin allows elderly people to easily access the toilet after use by rotating it out from under the main seat, preventing it from obstructing the space under their buttocks. This eliminates the need for them to bend over and squat to wipe, improving convenience and ease of use. The rotating basin also makes it easy for the elderly to remove the toilet bowl for cleaning, further enhancing usability. Additionally, the overall height of the toilet can be adjusted by rotating a sleeve, making it suitable for elderly people of different heights and further improving usability.

[0027] Example

[0028] This application discloses a rotatable commode chair for the elderly. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 4 The system includes a seat body 1 and a rotating tray 5. The seat body 1 is made of high-strength engineering plastic injection molding, which is lightweight and has a strong load-bearing capacity. Support legs 7 are fixedly installed at the corners of the bottom surface by bolts. The support legs 7 are made of stainless steel tubes with a wall thickness of 3mm, and there are four sets arranged in a rectangular distribution to ensure stable support. Furthermore, one of the support legs 7 has an annular groove 12 on its surface. The support leg 7 with the annular groove 12 is the left front support leg 7. A collar 13 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the annular groove 12. The collar 13 is a stainless steel ring with an outer diameter smaller than that of the support leg 7, forming a step limit to prevent the collar 13 from moving axially. A connecting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the collar 13 by welding. The connecting rod 11 is an arc-shaped stainless steel rod that conforms to ergonomic design. A rotating basin 5 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 11. The rotating basin 5 is made of PP plastic, which is lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Its maximum size is smaller than the distance between the support legs 7, making it easy for the elderly to rotate the rotating basin 5 out of the seat body 1 after using the toilet. This prevents the rotating basin 5 from obstructing the space under the buttocks, making it easier for the elderly to reach under their buttocks to wipe. This saves the elderly the trouble of bending over and squatting to wipe their buttocks, reduces the risk of accidental falls, and improves the convenience of wiping their buttocks, thereby improving the ease of use.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support leg 7 has a screw 9 welded and fixed to its bottom surface. The screw 9 is an M12 stainless steel screw, and a sleeve 8 is fitted onto the surface of the screw 9. The sleeve 8 is a stainless steel tube with threads on its inner wall. The screw 9 and the sleeve 8 are arranged coaxially. Both the screw 9 and the sleeve 8 are made of metal and have a load-bearing capacity of up to 200kg, which improves the support performance. The bottom surface of the sleeve 8 is fixed with a foot 10 by bolts. The foot 10 is a round rubber pad with anti-slip texture on the bottom surface to increase the friction with the ground and prevent slipping. The elderly can raise or lower the overall height of the support by rotating the sleeve 8. The adjustment range is 50-100mm, which is suitable for the elderly of different heights and further improves the convenience of use.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner wall of the sleeve 8 is provided with an internal thread that engages with the screw 9, which is a common type of threaded connection. When adjusting the height, the elderly can hold the base 10 with one hand and rotate the base 10 to drive the sleeve 8 to rotate. The total length of the sleeve 8 and the screw 9 can be adjusted through the threaded engagement between the sleeve 8 and the screw 9, thereby changing the support height. The operation is simple and labor-saving.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 The surface of the seat body 1 has a through hole 3, and the through hole 3 is an elliptical hole, which conforms to ergonomics. The size of the through hole 3 is smaller than the size of the rotating basin 5, ensuring that all the feces can fall into the rotating basin 5. The size of the through hole 3 is a national standard value and is a common structure in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top surface of the seat body 1 is fixed with a soft pad 2 above the through hole 3 by Velcro. The soft pad 2 is made of 50mm thick high-density sponge material with good resilience. The outer surface of the soft pad 2 is covered with a PVC waterproof layer, which is waterproof and easy to clean. The soft pad 2 improves the comfort of sitting and avoids pressure sores caused by the elderly sitting for a long time.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The backrest of the main seat 1 is fixed with armrests 4 by bolts. The armrests 4 are wooden arc-shaped structures with smooth surfaces and coated with clear varnish. There are two sets of armrests, symmetrically distributed. The armrests 4 are at a moderate height, making it convenient for the elderly to hold on when sitting down and standing up, and to use their strength for support, reducing the physical exertion when standing up. This is a common structure in this field.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The collar 13 is rotatably connected to the ring groove 12 via a damping bearing. The damping bearing provides appropriate rotational resistance to prevent the collar 13 from rotating randomly when the elderly are sitting, thus playing a positioning role and ensuring that the rotating basin 5 is directly below the through hole 3 when in use.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rotating basin 5 contains a bedpan 6, which is made of PP plastic. The top opening area is larger than the through hole 3, forming an effective barrier to reduce fecal leakage. At the same time, the bedpan 6 is placed directly inside the rotating basin 5 for easy removal and cleaning. A plastic handle is fixed to one side of the rotating basin 5 with bolts. The handle is of moderate length, making it easy for the elderly to pull it outward and rotate the rotating basin 5. The operation is effortless and convenient for the elderly to use.

[0036] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: When in use, the elderly person first adjusts the height of the commode chair according to their own height by rotating the sleeve 8 to make it suitable for them to sit down and get up. Then, the elderly person holds the armrest 4 and slowly sits on the soft cushion 2 of the seat body 1. At this time, the bedpan 6 is placed in the rotating basin 5 directly below the through hole 3 to facilitate the elderly person's defecation.

[0037] After using the toilet, the elderly person can grasp the handle on one side of the rotating basin 5, overcome the resistance of the damping bearing, and rotate the rotating basin 5 outward so that the rotating basin 5 is under the seat body 1. At this time, the elderly person's buttocks are unobstructed, and they can easily reach in to wipe, saving the trouble of bending over and squatting, which is especially suitable for the elderly with limited mobility.

[0038] After wiping, rotate the rotating basin 5 back to its original position, where the damping bearing will keep it in place. When cleaning is required, simply remove the chamber pot 6 from the rotating basin 5, empty the feces, clean it, and then place it back into the rotating basin 5.

[0039] The entire process is simple to operate and requires no assistance from others. The rotating basin design solves the problem of inconvenience for the elderly when wiping their bottoms. The height-adjustable function can adapt to the needs of different elderly people. The soft cushion and handrail improve the comfort and safety of use, making it suitable for home or nursing home use.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
