The first limit switch 21 is installed on the upper side and the lower side of the fixed frame 12 on which the lift frame 14 is raised and lowered, The operation of the actuator 13 can be automatically stopped when any one of the upper and lower limit switches 21 touches the lifting frame 14 in a state where the upper limit switch 21 is kept pressed. Thereby preventing a failure.

On the other hand, a pair of left and right horizontal supports 18 and 19 are provided on the upper part of the pair of left and right vertical supports 3 and 4, and a pair of left and right defecation supports 18 and 19 are provided on the front sides of the left and right horizontal supports 18 and 19, Handles 22 and 23 are axially mounted and angularly moved by an angle adjusting means C to be described later so as to perform opening and closing operations on the front surface of the left side machine 1. [

Various user sensing means D such as an infrared sensor for sensing the presence or absence of a user sitting on the toilet seat 1 are installed on the horizontal supports 18 and 19.

The user sensing means D is interlocked with the user sensing means D to sense the user's fall by impact applied to the horizontal supports 18, 19, vertical supports 3, 4 and defecation support handles 22, (E), such as an acceleration sensor, can be installed to detect shocks in the X, Y, and Z directions of the vehicle, such as front, back, and up and down, A radio notification means F such as RF wireless communication is installed.

The defecation support handles 22 and 23 installed on the front surfaces of the horizontal supports 18 and 19 can be angularly moved about 95 degrees from the front of the left toilet 1 by the angle adjusting means C, When the support handles 22 and 23 are deployed in a horizontal state, the front of the left-hand side lid 1 is closed so that the user sees the left-hand side lid 1 and sees the defecation in a state in which the waist is bent forward, When sitting and standing on the toilet seat 1, a safety handle function for preventing falls and an elderly person who does not have muscle strength can be easily assisted in seating and standing.

When the user holds the defecation support handle (22, 23) horizontally in the left-hand side (1) in front of the user when the user is seated and sees the bowel movement support handle (22, 23), the user's waist is bent In this posture, the rectum is straightened and the toilet is seen naturally. It is about 90 degrees when it is opened at the front of the toilet (1) while performing the angular motion with about 95 degrees upward. The stably opened state can be maintained as compared with the state in which the defecation support handles 22 and 23 are deployed and also the front entrance can be seen wide when entering or leaving the toilet 1 even in the case of a user.

The angle adjusting means C for opening and closing the defecation support handles 22 and 23 with angular movement is provided with a motor 24 inside the left and right horizontal supports 18 and 19 as shown in an exploded perspective view of FIG. The driven shafts 22a and 23a of the defecation support handles 22 and 23 which are axially connected to the driving shaft 24a of the motor 24 are coupled so as to be separable from each other.

That is, when an arbitrary external force is applied to the defecation support handles 22 and 23, a spring provided between the driven shafts 22a and 23a of the defecation support handles 22 and 23 and the driving shaft 24a of the motor 24 (26) fixed to the driving shaft (24a) by means of the spring (25), and a locking pin (27 Are coupled to the driven shafts 22a and 23a in an orthogonal direction.

The safety handle for a toilet seat built-in type falling sensor for the elderly according to the present invention, which can be configured as described above, can be simply installed with the adjustment and fixing means A in accordance with various standards of the toilet seat 1. [

That is, the height of the left-hand support stand 2 on the outer peripheral surface of the lower portion of the seat 1 of the left-hand side toilet 1 is set to be greater than the height of the bracket 5 on the right and left vertical supports 3, 4, The width of the first adjustment bolt 7 is fixed by inserting the opposite ends of the left and right support rods 2 into engagement holes 5a formed in the forward and backward directions on the bracket 5, Side fixing bracket 8 of the left-side support bracket 2 is connected to the front side of the left-hand side bracket 1 after the fixing bolts 5b of the right- When the movable clamp 9 on the rear side is tightened so as to be tightened to the left side 1 side by using the second adjusting bolt 11, the movable clamp 9 is moved from the left side 1 to the left side, So that clamping is performed and installation is completed.

As a result, the present invention can be installed in a compatible manner by adjusting the height and the front and rear widths of the left-hand side 1 of various commercially available standard specifications. Even when the movable clamp 9 is dismantled, only the second adjusting bolt 11 is screwed It is possible to easily carry out the installation and separation work even for a novice user, for example, when it is released from the fastening state, the user can easily separate the front side of the left side lid 1.

When the user wishes to use the toilet seat 1 by applying power after the installation, the defecation support handles 22 and 23 are angularly moved upwards to be open at about 95 degrees, And a button for closing the defecation support handles 22 and 23 installed on the operation panel 20 in the horizontal direction is pressed so that the motor 24 constituting the angle adjusting means C is activated to rotate the driving shaft 24a, The movable shafts 22a and 23a connected to the first limit switch 22 are angularly moved in the downward horizontal direction so that the defecation support handles 22 and 23 close the front side of the left toilet 1, ON / OFF and the forward and reverse directions are automatically controlled by the controller 29.

When the height of the left and right vertical supports 3 and 4 and the height of the defecation support handles 22 and 23 are low or high in consideration of the user's body shape and the like, To make adjustments. When the user has weak muscular strength, there is a difficulty in seating and standing in the left-hand side lid 1. In this case, since the left and right vertical supports 3, 4 are moved up and down by the horizontal supports 18, 19 and the defecation support handles 22, ), It is possible to sit and stand up without putting great effort.

To this end, if the elevator button 13 for actuating the actuator 13 for adjusting the height of the operation panel 20 is pressed, the piston 13a of the actuator 13 installed on the fixed frame 12 constituting the left and right vertical supports 3, The elevating frame 14 connected to the elevating frame 14 can be used as an auxiliary device capable of automatically adjusting to a height suitable for a user's body,

Even if the user continues to depress the elevation button, the actuators 13 are set in the upper and lower limits by the first limit switch 21 installed vertically, and any one of the upper and lower first limit switches 21 is set in the lift frame 14 The actuator 13 is automatically stopped. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the device from being overloaded due to the operation of the excessive lifting / lowering button or a cause of the failure.

In addition, when the user is seated in the left-hand side toilet 1, the user sensing means D such as an infrared sensor senses the presence of the user and recognizes the presence or absence of the user. In this way, The fall sensing means E such as an acceleration sensor installed on the horizontal supports 18 and 19 senses the sensed result and immediately notifies the sensor room F through a wireless notification means F in the case of a hospital, .

In particular, the fall detection means E of the present invention senses a fall in connection with the user sensing means D, thereby eliminating the possibility of malfunction. As shown in the figure, Z direction), thereby allowing the user to cope with various situations such as a fall to the front or rear, a fall occurring due to the centering in the vertical direction at the time of standing or standing, and the like.

When the user grips the defecation support handles 22, 23 horizontally positioned in the closed state on the front side of the toilet seat 1, or when the upper body is tilted by simultaneously supporting the hands and the arms, the waist bends forward.

Such a posture provides the advantage that the rectum is straightened and the toilet can be seen more smoothly, so that a patient who struggles with constipation patients or hemorrhoids can get great benefits.

The bellows support handles 22 and 23 are connected to the driving shafts 24a and 24b of the motor 24 so as to prevent the motor 24 from being damaged when the adjusting buttons of the operation panel 20 are angularly moved And the driven shafts 22a and 23a of the defecation support handles 22 and 23 are elastically connected to the spring 25 by the coupling 26 having the engaging step 26a and the engaging pin 27, The engaging pin 27 is engaged with the coupling 26 fixed to the driving shaft 24a of the motor 24 by the elasticity of the spring 25 when the handles 22 and 23 are forcedly angularly moved by the external force, The motor 24 is separated from the two latching jaws 26a of the motor 24 and moved to the two latching jaws 26a formed adjacent to each other by about 90 degrees so that the shaft is connected again so that no external force is transmitted to the driving shaft 24a, It can be prevented in advance.
