Application of Electric Bath Lift Chair in Accessible Bathroom

As the population structure gradually ages and science and technology and the economy continue to develop, the quality of life and living needs of the elderly are progressively being taken seriously. This trend is reflected in many aspects. The state and society are actively taking measures to help the elderly improve their quality of life.

 

Community adaptation for the elderly is also one of the important strategies to improve the quality of life of the elderly. Providing a safe, convenient, and comfortable community life for the elderly by building a barrier-free living environment has become an important issue in promoting social harmony. Home adaptation for the elderly is equally important. By transforming the home environment and facilities, we can adapt to the changes in the elderly's physical functions and daily life needs, and improve their self-care ability and quality of life.

 

People are beginning to pay attention to the quality of life of the elderly. The design of barrier-free bathrooms must not only consider basic functional requirements but also take into account the safety and comfort of users. A new product we designed, the electric bath lift chair, is very suitable for barrier-free bathroom scenarios. The electric bath chair lift is designed to assist users with limited mobility to enter and leave the bathing space at home more quickly and conveniently, making the bathing process easier and more enjoyable.

 

The following are some basic features of our electric bath chair.

 

 

 

1. This electric bath chair is compact and foldable, takes up little space, and can be easily stored and transported.

 

2. The electric bath chair takes full account of the bathtub specifications during the design process so that it can be easily positioned in any standard bathtub (some non-standard or specially customized bathtubs may not be applicable).

 

3. There are 6 suction cups installed at the bottom of the electric bath chair lift, which makes it more stable and has good anti-slip performance to prevent the elderly from slipping. EVA foam armrests are used to increase grip and comfort. Both the armrests and backboards have anti-slip functions to ensure that users are more stable when standing up or sitting down.

 

4. The electric bath lift chair is completely powered by batteries and does not require laying pipes or other external electrical lines. It is convenient and reliable to use: All units of the bath chair except the charger are waterproof. After ensuring that the plug is correctly plugged in, you can also lift the bath chair during the shower.

 

5. The electric bath lift chair uses modular assembly. The backrest and seat can be folded and disassembled, and automatically locked on the seat base when the bathing chair is raised, which can prevent the backrest from tilting accidentally; the intelligent protection control can ensure that the hand controller can only raise and lower the bathing chair when there is enough power, otherwise it can only be lowered.

 

6. Height adjustment function: The height of the electric bath chair cushion should be adjustable, and the range should be between 60 mm - 480 mm to accommodate users of different heights and body shapes. Multiple height adjustment options can be provided, allowing users to adjust the seat height according to their needs, thereby improving flexibility and comfort.

 

7. Load-bearing capacity and material selection: The main frame of the electric bath lift chair should be made of high-strength materials, such as aluminum alloy, and anodized to enhance durability and corrosion resistance. Plastic accessories can choose high-density PE+PP+EVA+TPR and other materials, which are not only light but also easy to clean.

 

8. Convenience of movement and installation: The design should consider the mobility and installation convenience of the product. For example, a fully assembled installation method is adopted without welding, which can reduce safety hazards and facilitate maintenance. The total weight of the electric bath lift chair should be controlled within a reasonable range (no more than 3 kg) for easy carrying and movement.

 

 

Through the above functional demand analysis and service design, the electric bath lift chair will better serve the elderly group, create barrier-free toilets, improve their quality of life, and ensure safety and comfort during use.
