Problems solved by technology

Moreover, many elderly people cannot take a bath independently, not only because they are afraid of slipping, but also because they cannot raise their hands to wash their backs and have difficulty turning around, so the elderly have to bathe with the help of family members or caregivers
If the design of the bathing system is not perfect and not thoughtful, it will bring huge hidden dangers and inconvenience to the elderly bathing, and then bring certain instability to the family and society.
[0004] At present, in the barrier-free bathing system of the shower room type at home and abroad, the functions are relatively simple and incomplete. Generally, there is only a single household shower with a bathing chair or an additional armrest, which does not really solve the difficulty of turning around for the elderly and disabled people. , incomplete cleaning and other issues
For example, the bathing chair whose patent publication number is CN303222191S has a simple structure, is fixed on the wall, has no handrails, only provides a seat, and does not solve other bathing problems, such as anti-slip, difficulty in turning around, etc.
The bathing chair whose patent publication number is CN102917626B has drainage holes at a certain distance in the middle of the bathing seat of the bathing chair, which is convenient for drainage, and the armrests are arranged on both sides of the bathing seat.
The bathing chair whose patent publication number is CN203122236U is characterized in that it is fixed on the wall and has armrests on both sides, which can meet the needs of users of different heights and body types, protect the elderly users and facilitate the sitting up of the elderly users, and can Adjust the height of the seat according to the height of the handicapped or the elderly, weak, sick, or slide left and right to select the bathing position. It can be folded after use to save space, but it still does not solve the difficulty of lifting hands and turning around when bathing.
None of the above-mentioned bathing products can really solve the problems of the elderly and disabled people who have difficulty turning around, unable to clean the back, sides, and easy slipping when bathing independently
