Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical and nursing device technology, specifically to a bedpan that is easy to clean and store. Background Technology

[0002] In hospital or home care, bedpans are essential daily care tools for bedridden patients with limited mobility. Traditional bedpans typically employ a one-piece rigid structure, often flat or cylindrical in shape, which presents several shortcomings in use and cleaning.

[0003] Specifically, traditional bedpans, due to their fixed, rigid volume, are often difficult to conceal in narrow spaces such as under nursing beds when not in use, taking up space and being unsightly. More importantly, in terms of usage, if patients directly defecate into the bedpan, nursing staff must flush it during cleaning. This not only wastes water, but also allows waste to easily adhere to the bedpan walls, making it difficult to thoroughly clean. Residual stains can easily breed bacteria and produce odors, increasing the risk of cross-infection. Currently, nursing staff also need to handle the garbage bags inside the bedpan. Existing bedpans lack auxiliary structures for closing and securing the garbage bags, requiring nursing staff to manually tie knots near the bag opening when cleaning. This operation is cumbersome and easily causes hand contamination. Moreover, the open bag opening can easily emit odors and even cause waste to splash during movement, causing great inconvenience and hygiene hazards to nursing work.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a toilet that is easy to clean and store, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a bedpan that is easy to clean and store, aiming to improve the problems of traditional bedpans in the prior art, such as fixed size which is not easy to store in narrow spaces, lack of auxiliary garbage bag sealing and fixing structure which makes the cleaning process cumbersome and easy to cause pollution, and unreasonable handle design which makes it difficult to grip.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a toilet bowl that is easy to clean and store, comprising a collection mechanism, a support mechanism, and a connecting mechanism; the support mechanism is disposed at the top opening of the collection mechanism through the connecting mechanism;

[0007] The collection mechanism includes a toilet bowl body, with a connecting plate fixed to the top inner wall of the toilet bowl body, and a slot provided on the connecting plate; the support mechanism includes a baffle, with a connecting shaft fixed to the bottom of the baffle, and the baffle is rotatably connected by being embedded in the slot through the connecting shaft, allowing the baffle to rotate inwards about the connecting shaft as the center of the toilet bowl body; a torsion spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft to assist the baffle in resetting; a limiting strip is provided on the outer wall of the baffle, with the bottom of the limiting strip abutting against the top of the toilet bowl body; a slotted plate is fixed to the outer wall of the toilet bowl body, and a limiting groove is provided on the slotted plate;

[0008] Furthermore, the collecting mechanism and the supporting mechanism are foldably connected through the connecting mechanism. Specifically, the rotational engagement of the connecting shaft within the slot enables the baffle to fold inward, while the combination of the torsion spring and the limiting strip limits the vertical opening position of the baffle in its normal state. The card plate and the limiting slot are linked to the movement of the baffle through a fixed drawstring.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting strip is disposed on the outer wall of the baffle, and the limiting strip is configured such that when the baffle is in a vertical state, the bottom of the limiting strip abuts against the top surface of the toilet body, so as to use the supporting effect of the toilet body to physically prevent the baffle from rotating outward, and ensure the stability of the opening shape.

[0010] Preferably, the side wall of the toilet body is recessed inward to form a groove, and a vertically arranged handle is fixed inside the groove. The spatial structure of the groove is designed to accommodate the user's hand to hold the handle, thereby providing a stable gripping point without increasing the outer contour size of the toilet.

[0011] Preferably, the retaining plate protrudes from the outer surface of the toilet bowl body, and the limiting groove is opened vertically at the top of the retaining plate to clamp and fix the rope-like object, so that the drawstring can transmit the pulling force with the retaining plate as the fulcrum when it is stretched.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting mechanism is such that one end of the connecting shaft is rotatably supported in the slot of the connecting plate, and the torsion arms at both ends of the torsion spring abut against the inner wall surface of the toilet body and the outer wall surface of the baffle, respectively, to provide elastic force to keep the baffle in an open tendency and realize the automatic reset function;

[0013] Preferably, the toilet bowl body and the baffle cooperate to form a receiving space for fitting a garbage bag, and the top of the baffle is used to support the outward opening of the garbage bag, so that the garbage bag can smoothly cover the entire inner cavity and edge of the toilet bowl;

[0014] Preferably, when the drawstring inside the garbage bag is engaged in the limiting groove and the opening is tightened, the contraction force generated by the drawstring causes the baffle to overcome the elastic force of the torsion spring and rotate into the toilet body, thereby achieving linkage folding and storage.

[0015] Preferably, the connecting plate is fixed to the inner wall on both sides of the length direction of the toilet body, and the baffle is correspondingly arranged on one side of the toilet body. The baffle and the toilet body enclose the top opening. This double-sided symmetrical structure is conducive to shortening the overall length of the toilet body in the longitudinal direction when it is stored.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model solves the problems of existing nursing bedpans being difficult to clean if used directly, and having an open bag opening during cleaning if used with a bag, by setting a baffle that can be rotated through a connecting mechanism on the top of the bedpan body, and by using a torsion spring reset and a limiting strip to prevent it from tipping over. It achieves the technical effect of automatically folding the baffle inward by pulling the drawstring, automatically closing the garbage bag and reducing the storage volume, greatly improving the convenience and hygiene of nursing operations.

[0018] 2. This utility model solves the problem that existing toilet bowls lack a garbage bag drawstring fixing structure, which makes the bag opening easy to slip off during use. It achieves the technical effect of being able to firmly lock the drawstring and prevent slippage, and using the card plate as a fulcrum to realize the linkage baffle folding when the drawstring is tightened.

[0019] 3. This utility model solves the problem of unstable gripping or storage interference caused by the smooth outer wall or protruding handle of traditional bucket-shaped bedpans by setting a concave groove and a vertical handle on the side wall of the bedpan body. It achieves the technical effect of ergonomic single-handed stable grip, easy for caregivers to lift with force, while maintaining the regular outer contour of the bedpan and saving storage space.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-5 The present invention provides an embodiment of a toilet bowl that is easy to clean and store, including a collection mechanism 1, a support mechanism 2 disposed above, and a connecting mechanism 3 for connecting the two. The support mechanism 2 is movably disposed at the top opening of the collection mechanism 1 through the connecting mechanism 3. The two together enclose a space for accommodating excrement and fitting a garbage bag 4. The collection mechanism 1 serves as the mounting base and accommodating body of the entire device, the support mechanism 2 is used to extend the height of the side wall and provide a foldable closing function, and the connecting mechanism 3 plays a key pivot role, realizing the rotational cooperation and reset function between the components.

[0029] Specifically, the collection mechanism 1 includes a toilet body 101, which has a hollow barrel-shaped structure and provides the main cavity for the device. A connecting plate 302 is fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the toilet body 101. The connecting plate 302 has a slot 303. The connecting plate 302 is fixed as a stationary part on the inner walls of both sides of the toilet body 101 along its length. Correspondingly, the support mechanism 2 includes a baffle 201. Preferably, there is one baffle 201 and it is set on one side of the toilet body 101. The bottom of the baffle 201 is integrally formed or fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 301. The baffle 201 is rotated through the connecting shaft 301 at its bottom, which is embedded in the slot 303 on the connecting plate 302. This allows the baffle 201 to rotate about the connecting shaft 301 inward toward the inside of the toilet body 101, thereby changing the overall opening size and height of the toilet.

[0030] A torsion spring 304 is also provided at the mating point between the connecting shaft 301 and the connecting plate 302. The torsion spring 304 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 301. The torsion arms at both ends of the torsion spring 304 abut against the inner wall of the bedpan body 101 and the outer wall of the baffle 201, respectively, or one end abuts against the connecting plate 302 and the other end abuts against the connecting shaft 301 or the baffle 201. The function of the torsion spring 304 is to provide continuous elastic force so that the baffle 201 always remains in a vertical state of opening outward when it is not pulled by external force, which is convenient for nursing staff to perform bagging operation and for patients to use. The connecting plate 302 has an L-shaped or rectangular block structure to stably support the connecting shaft 301. The slot 303 is opened at the top of the connecting plate 302 and the opening direction is upward or inward, which is convenient for the installation, disassembly and maintenance of the connecting shaft 301.

[0031] To ensure the baffle 201 remains stable in the open state and prevent it from tilting excessively outward, a limiting strip 202 is fixedly connected to or integrally formed on the outer wall of the baffle 201. The limiting strip 202 is located in the area of ​​the baffle 201 near the bottom connecting shaft 301. Its structure and position are precisely designed so that when the baffle 201 is in a vertically open state under the action of the torsion spring 304, the bottom surface of the limiting strip 202 just abuts against the top edge of the toilet bowl body 101. Through this abutting engagement, the top surface of the toilet bowl body 101 provides a reverse support force for the limiting strip 202, thereby physically locking the outward rotational freedom of the baffle 201, ensuring the stability of the opening shape of the toilet bowl during use, and also limiting the baffle 201 to only have a rotational freedom in the inward direction.

[0032] Furthermore, in order to achieve effective fixation and linkage control of the garbage bag 4 and the drawstring 5, a clamping plate 104 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the toilet body 101. The clamping plate 104 preferably protrudes from the outer surface of the toilet body 101 near the connecting mechanism 3. A limiting groove 105 is opened vertically through the top of the clamping plate 104. The width of the limiting groove 105 is designed to match the diameter of the conventional drawstring 5, which can clamp and fix the rope-like object. In use, the limiting groove 105 not only prevents the drawstring 5 from slipping, but also serves as a fulcrum for the drawstring 5 to apply force.

[0033] Meanwhile, the toilet body 101 and the baffle 201 form a continuous side wall structure in the vertical direction, which together form a space for accommodating the garbage bag 4. The top edge of the baffle 201 is used to support the outward opening of the garbage bag 4. When the garbage bag 4 is put in, one end of its drawstring 5 is pulled out and inserted into the limiting groove 105 on the clamping plate 104. At this time, the drawstring 5 is in a ready state. When cleaning is required, the caregiver pulls the drawstring 5 inserted in the limiting groove 105. As the drawstring 5 is tightened and contracted, the diameter of the rope loop around the baffle 201 gradually decreases, thereby applying inward radial pressure to the outer wall of the baffle 201. This pressure overcomes the elasticity of the torsion spring 304 and drives the baffle 201 to rotate and fold inward toward the inside of the toilet body 101 with the connecting shaft 301 as the center. Thus, while assisting the garbage bag 4 to close, the overall upper volume of the toilet is automatically reduced. This linkage structure design significantly improves cleaning efficiency and storage convenience.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, in order to improve the grip stability and convenience of users or caregivers when picking up the bedpan, the side wall structure of the bedpan body 101 is not completely flat, but is recessed inward on one or both sides to form a groove 102. The depth and width of the groove 102 are designed to accommodate an adult's hand. A vertically arranged handle 103 is fixedly connected in the internal space of the groove 102. The handle 103 is preferably cylindrical or ergonomically shaped to fit the hand. Through this embedded handle design, the force is more balanced when caregivers lift the bedpan full of waste, and spillage will not occur due to hand slippage. It also avoids the spatial interference problem that may be caused by the outward protrusion of the handle.

[0035] As another preferred embodiment, in order to ensure the smooth movement and compact structure of the connecting mechanism 3, the connecting shaft 301 and the bottom of the baffle 201 are integrally injection molded or fixed by high-strength welding to ensure transmission rigidity. The connecting plate 302 is firmly fixed to the inner edge of the top of the toilet body 101. The slot 303 on it adopts a U-shaped opening design. One end of the connecting shaft 301 is rotatably supported in the slot 303. In the gap between the connecting shaft 301 and the connecting plate 302, the torsion spring 304 is coaxially sleeved on the connecting shaft 301. This arrangement makes the torsion spring 304 hidden inside the structure, which is protected from damage and aesthetically pleasing. The torsion spring 304 abuts against the inner wall of the toilet body 101 and the outer wall of the baffle 201 through its torsion arms at both ends. It uses its elastic restoring force to continuously apply an outward flipping torque to the baffle 201, thereby ensuring that the baffle 201 can always automatically return to the vertically open use state without external force.

[0036] As another preferred embodiment, in order to optimize the overall storage and opening shape of the bedpan, the baffle 201 is a single piece, arranged at one end of the length direction of the bedpan body 101. The baffle 201 and one long side of the bedpan body 101 together enclose and form a top opening that is approximately the shape of a racetrack. This opening shape not only conforms to the curve of the human hip, improving the comfort of use, but also allows the bedpan to be folded inwards at both ends of the baffle 201 during storage, minimizing the longitudinal length and making it easier to put the bedpan into the space under the nursing bed where the height is limited.

[0037] Working principle: In the initial assembly or standby state, the support mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the collection mechanism 1 through the connecting mechanism 3. The connecting shaft 301 is rotatably engaged in the slot 303 of the connecting plate 302. At this time, the torsion spring 304 releases elastic force between the baffle 201 and the toilet body 101, so that the baffle 201 maintains an outward vertical trend. At the same time, the bottom of the limiting strip 202 set on the outside of the baffle 201 is tightly attached to the top edge of the toilet body 101. With the support of the top surface of the toilet body 101, the baffle 201 is effectively prevented from overturning outward under the action of gravity or elastic force, thereby maintaining the stability of the toilet opening shape and facilitating the subsequent bagging operation.

[0038] Before use, the caregiver inserts their hand into the groove 102 on the side wall of the bedpan body 101 and grips the handle 103 to lift the bedpan. Then, the garbage bag 4 is placed into the space formed by the bedpan body 101 and the baffle 201, and the opening edge of the garbage bag 4 is turned outward to cover the baffle 201 and the top outer edge of the bedpan body 101. Then, one end of the drawstring 5 inside the garbage bag 4 is pulled out and locked into the limiting groove 105 at the top of the card plate 104 for fixation. At this time, the bedpan is ready and can be placed at the bottom of the nursing bed for the patient to use.

[0039] During the cleaning and storage phase, caregivers only need to pull the drawstring 5, which is locked in the limiting groove 105. As the drawstring 5 is tightened, its circumference gradually decreases, thereby applying an inward radial pulling force to the outer wall of the baffle 201. This pulling force overcomes the resistance of the torsion spring 304 and drives the baffle 201 to rotate and fold inward toward the inner side of the bedpan body 101 with the connecting shaft 301 as the center. The inward rotation of the baffle 201 not only helps to tighten the seal of the garbage bag 4, but also significantly reduces the opening height and volume of the bedpan, making it easier to remove the bedpan from the narrow space and carry out subsequent waste packaging.
