Description

A bathing facility suitable for the elderly

technical field

The invention relates to the field of household items, in particular to a bathing facility suitable for the elderly.

Background technique

According to the nearest census, China's total population has reached nearly 1.4 billion, and the degree of aging is increasing, making it the country with the largest number of elderly people in the world. The elderly population over the age of 65 has reached 88.11 million, accounting for 6.96% of the total population; the population over the age of 60 has reached 130 million, accounting for 10.2% of the total population. In the past decade, the aging rate has accelerated, increasing at a rate of 3% per year, and the elderly population over the age of 80 is also growing at an average rate of one million people per year.

As the elderly grow older, their physiological functions, exercise capacity and ability to adjust to light are weakened. Elderly people over 65 years old have only 50% of their physical function at the age of 20. Changes in physical function are mainly manifested in attenuation of vision, vertigo, blurred vision, color weakness, and even blindness; waist and leg diseases are more common in the elderly, causing walking obstacles, difficulty in lifting legs, and shortened step distance, and even need to use Traveling with handrails, crutches, or wheelchairs; sluggish body movements with reduced accuracy; reduced range of motion in the upper limbs, poor arm thrust, body posture that is excessive or out of balance to the point of slipping or tripping; insufficient support during bathing, As a result, there are various inconveniences in the bath. The findings showed that the prevalence of most risk factors was high. Among them, 61.0% had no handrails in the bath/shower, and 11.6% to 22.1% had dim light. These data show that the existence of environmental risk factors is quite common in the living room of the elderly, and the bathroom is the place with the highest incidence of environmental risk factors in the living room. 66% of the bathrooms have at least one potential risk factor, which affects the bathing operation of the elderly. While providing a bathing environment for the elderly, it is necessary to consider the physiological and psychological characteristics of the elderly, take care of the special needs of the elderly, and create a suitable bathing environment for the elderly.

Most of the elderly have weak physical functions, and some have cardiovascular disease. They are particularly sensitive to the hypoxic environment in the bathroom full of people, foggy and closed windows. In this environment, the peripheral blood vessels of the elderly will expand due to external stimuli, the heart rate will slow down, the blood pressure will drop, and the blood flow in the brain will decrease. They will feel dark eyes, sweating, nausea, abdominal discomfort, and difficulty standing on their feet. Steady, easily fainted and fell to the ground. Therefore, when the elderly take a bath, in addition to providing some nursing measures, it is also necessary to provide the elderly with a well-ventilated environment that reduces physical energy consumption. In addition, as the elderly grow older, the range of activities of the body's limbs will gradually decrease, and the height of the body will also tend to decrease. Some common bathroom facilities designed for adults are not suitable for seniors, or are not convenient to use. The elderly also need to be provided with some additional protections such as error prevention to prevent accidents caused by operating errors during the bathing process.

There are very few products specially designed and manufactured for the elderly in my country's elderly bath products; the existing elderly products generally lack a clear market positioning. Compared with the subdivided market strategy for young and middle-aged people, most of the products and services in the field of elderly products are aimed at the vague overall elderly market, use ambiguous overall language, and have no clear segmentation for the elderly group; the shape of the elderly bath products 1. The color design is too dull and monotonous, and the modeling language is blunt, which cannot give people a sense of security and intimacy; product design and service are not humanized enough. Not too much consideration is given to the problems of the elderly in the bathing process, but more to the popularization of bathing facilities; systematic design. During the bathing process, the entire bathing facility lacks integration, and the implementation of any bathing process is not connected with each other; in product design, the scope of use of the elderly and the irrationality in the design are not considered too much.

As shown in the figure: a bathing facility suitable for the elderly, the bathing facility includes a strip shower head 2 arranged on a fixed wall 1, an automatic shampoo 3, a hidden seat 4, a fixed plate Ⅰ 5 and a fixed Plate II6, fixed plate I5 and fixed plate II6 are respectively arranged on both sides of the hidden seat 4, the automatic shampoo 3 is arranged above the hidden seat 4, and the strip shower head 2 is arranged on the automatic shampoo 3 above; the strip shower head 2 is set in the vertical sliding groove I7, and can move up and down along the vertical sliding groove I7; the automatic shampoo 3 is set in the vertical sliding groove II8, and can move along the The vertical sliding groove II 8 moves up and down; the height of the strip shower head 2 and the automatic shampoo 3 can be adjusted according to the actual height needs; the angle between the seat surface of the hidden seat 4 and the front of the fixed wall 1 is 0 degrees Or 90 degrees, when the angle between the seat surface and the front of the fixed wall 1 is 90 degrees, the front of the seat is 3~5cm lower than the height of the knee socket of the human body, and there is a curvature with a radius of 2.5~5cm; research shows that sitting on a hard seat 75% of the body weight on the chair is concentrated in the 25m² between the left and right ischial bones, and sitting on a soft cushion can greatly reduce the peak pressure. The seat surface cannot be too high or too low. The front of the seat is 3-5cm lower than the height of the knee socket of the human body, and it is most suitable to have a curvature with a radius of 2.5-5cm; the hidden seat 4 is provided with a fixed shaft, a seat surface and a support rod, the fixed shaft is connected to the fixed wall 1, the seat surface is hinged to the fixed shaft, one end of the support rod is connected to the fixed shaft, and the other end is supported on the bottom of the seat surface; a heater is also provided in the hidden seat 4 and a massager, and the side of the seat surface is provided with a control button for adjusting the heater and the massager; the automatic shampoo 3 is provided with an arc-shaped massage plate 301 and a massage stick 302, and the massage stick 302 is evenly distributed on the arc-shaped massage plate 301 on an arc; the arc massage board 301 is set with a length of 40cm and a width of 25cm; liquid hole; the fixed plate I5 facing the side of the hidden seat 4 is provided with a storage tray 501 and the anti-slip handle I502; the fixed plate II6 facing the side of the hidden seat 4 is provided with a strip shower head 2 and The controller 601 of the automatic shampoo 3, the emergency groove 602 and the anti-skid handle II 603.

According to the survey, showers are more suitable for the elderly than baths. When taking a bath, the temperature is generally high, which may not be tolerated by the elderly with high blood pressure and heart disease, and the low water temperature can easily lead to colds. When taking a shower, the hidden seat fixed on the wall can not only prevent the elderly from feeling fatigued by standing for too long, but also allow the elderly with poor legs and mobility to complete the bath independently. It can also be hidden on the wall when not in use, saving space. At the same time, the seat itself has the function of heating and massage. Turn on the heating device five minutes before the elderly take a bath to avoid irritation caused by the seat being too cold. Massage can relax the body and avoid leg numbness caused by long-term sitting. In addition, an emergency button is set next to the seat, which can be activated quickly when an accident occurs to the elderly, and timely notify family members or nursing staff for rescue.

Anti-skid handle cabinets are designed on both sides of the seat. Because the elderly’s arms and shoulders are sore and stiff, they cannot lift them up. Therefore, it is best to place items within reach of the sitting height. This height can also be adapted to the elderly who are active in wheelchairs. On the one hand, it is convenient for the elderly to place some bathing utensils, bath towels, medicines, etc. On the other hand, it also increases the safety, so that the elderly have support points while standing and sitting. The close-fitting design gives the elderly a sense of security surrounded by them. Because the hands of the elderly are relatively stiff, the oval shape design makes the grip more powerful. You usually have body soap on your hands when taking a bath, so the pole itself is designed as a handle device with a non-slip sleeve. In addition, the elderly may have sudden illnesses while bathing, so there are grooves for placing first aid medicines on the cabinet shelf, so that the elderly can quickly save themselves when they get sick.

Now because of the pain and stiffness of the elderly's arms and shoulders, they can't lift up. Therefore, when washing their hair, the elderly often have sore arms and a sense of fatigue. Therefore, the design of the automatic hair washing machine can reduce the trouble of manual washing for the elderly. Automatic foaming, automatic scalp massage and automatic integrated cleaning give the elderly a sense of comfort. When in use, the machine massages the face down. When not in use, the massage face faces the back of the old man’s head, which acts as a massage support and does not affect the normal shower of the old man.

Hidden seat: PE blow-molded armrests, ergonomic concave-convex design, safe and comfortable. Soft foam is used inside for added softness, comfort and non-slip.

Anti-slip handle cabinet frame and first aid groove: use dark and white colors for the bathing space, set blue anti-slip handrails and white cabinet frames, so that the white bathroom facilities can be better recognized, and the simple combination of blue and white gives people A laid-back, quiet feeling. The emergency groove should use a more prominent and eye-catching color, so that its position can be quickly identified. For example, red, orange, etc.

Adjust the water temperature button: the eyesight of the elderly will decline more or less, and the perception of external stimuli will be weakened at the same time. This requires that in the bathing environment of the elderly, there must be clear signs for the elderly to identify. So hot and cold water must be separated. Therefore, using the simplest color to distinguish is easier for the elderly to identify. Red is hot water, blue is cold water, and two red and blue stripes appear next to the rotary button for adjusting the water temperature, which is beneficial for the elderly to adjust the water temperature by themselves.

In the design of elderly products, inclusive design and experience design are particularly important. Through the experience of elderly bathing, we should obtain all kinds of data needed by elderly products: including physiological and psychological aspects, to understand the unique bathing habits of the elderly, Design from the perspective of ergonomics, pay attention to the practicability, convenience, health care and safety of the product, and increase the affinity of the product.
