The present disclosure relates to a grab handle and a human body standing assist device.
Advertising on buses or subways is an important source of income for public transport providers. Due to the increasingly fierce competition in the advertising industry, it is especially crucial for public transport providers to improve their advertising quality. For example, the advertisement of the existing subway grab handle is usually realized by sandwiching a paper advertisement between the shells of the grab handle. However, due to the need to install hundreds of grab handles in subway carriages, it takes a lot of labor and time to replace the advertisements of the grab handles, which also results in a long advertisement update cycle and a high advertisement replacement cost.
In addition, the shells of the grab handle are usually fixed together by screws at present. When replacing paper advertisements, workers need to unscrew the screws, replace the advertisements, and finally tighten the screws. Such disassembly method is old-fashioned and complicated, which will further increase the advertisement update cycle and increase the time and labor cost for replacing advertisements.
In view of this, in a first aspect, some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a grab handle comprising:
a first shell;
a second shell; and
a display member between the first shell and the second shell,
wherein the first shell has a first accommodating portion and a first fixing mechanism, the second shell has a second accommodating portion and a second fixing mechanism, and the grab handle is configured to, through a cooperation of the first fixing mechanism and the second fixing mechanism, fix the first shell and the second shell to each other and form an accommodating space by the first accommodating portion and the second accommodating portion together for accommodating the display member.

Optionally, the first fixing mechanism includes a plurality of protrusions that are arranged in an annular shape as a whole on the side wall at the outer periphery of the first accommodating portion. The second fixing mechanism comprises a plurality of extensions that are arranged in an annular shape as a whole on the side wall at the outer periphery of the second accommodating portion. Each of the plurality of extensions is provided with a groove for snap-fit with a corresponding one of the plurality of protrusions.
Optionally, a tapered portion is provided at one end of the extension, and a size of a free end of the tapered portion is smaller than a size of a non-free end of the tapered portion, so that the tapered portion is pushed and slid over the protrusion easily in order to engage the protrusion in the groove.
Optionally, the inner wall of the first shell is provided with a plurality of first limit stops, wherein a part of the first limit stops are arranged in a first direction, another part of the first limit stops are arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and the first limit stops are configured to fix a portion of the display member.
Optionally, the inner wall of the second shell is provided with a plurality of second limit stops extending in the first direction to fix another portion of the display member.
Optionally, the distance between the two adjacent first limit stops is equal to the distance between the two adjacent second limit stops.
Optionally, the first shell further comprises an opening and a grip, wherein the opening is arranged at one side of the first accommodating portion, the grip is arranged at the other side of the first accommodating portion, and the opening and the grip are integrally formed with the first shell.
Optionally, a transparent protective cover is arranged on the outer wall of the first shell, and the transparent protective cover covers the display member. The outer wall of the second shell is also provided with a groove.
Optionally, the second shell further comprises a plurality of reinforcing ribs arranged on the inner wall of the second shell, and the reinforcing ribs and the second limit stops are arranged separately from each other.
Optionally, reflective material is coated on the outer surfaces of the first shell and the second shell other than the transparent protective cover and the groove.

In order to make the technical means of the embodiments of the present disclosure better understood and can be implemented according to the contents of the specification, and to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more obvious and understandable, some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below.
Various other advantages and benefits of the present disclosure will become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art from the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments. The drawings are for the purpose of illustrating exemplary embodiments only and are not to be considered as limiting the embodiments of the present disclosure. Moreover, the same reference numerals are used to refer to the same parts throughout the drawings. In the drawings:
Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these exemplary embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.
The inventor of the present application found that the traditional grab handle has the following problems when in use:
1. When the grab handle is used in subway, it takes a lot of labor and time to replace the advertisement of the grab handle, resulting in a long advertisement update cycle and a high advertisement replacement cost.
2. As the front shell 1 and the rear cover 2 are usually fixed by a plurality of screws, when the advertisement is disassembled and replaced, the plurality of screws must be disassembled in sequence and installed again after the advertisement content is replaced, thus increasing the difficulty of the replacement, further leading to a long advertisement update cycle of the subway grab handle and a high advertisement replacement cost.
In order to overcome the above problems, some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide a grab handle and a human body standing assist device including the grab handle, which can solve the problems of long advertisement update cycle, high time and labor cost for replacing advertisement in the related art.
Referring to
Since the grab handle of the present disclosure is configured to form the accommodating space through the cooperation of the first shell 4 and the second shell 5, the accommodating space can accommodate, for example, a display member 8 when needed, and the first shell 4 and the second shell 5 are fixed to each other through the cooperation of the first fixing mechanism 6 and the second fixing mechanism 7, avoiding the use of traditional fixing members such as screws, greatly shortening the advertisement update cycle and reducing the time and labor cost for replacing advertisements.
As shown in
Specifically, as shown in
Taking the electronic ink screen as an example, it does not consume electricity when the picture is not updated, it has the advantages of low power consumption, no radiation, etc., and it has a long service life. Furthermore, it is convenient to refresh the picture without disassembly. When it is applied in the grab handle, it can greatly shorten the advertisement update cycle and reduce the time and labor cost for replacing the advertisement. Since the grab handle according to the present disclosure does not use common advertisement paper, but uses an electronic ink screen to play advertisements instead, convenient replacement of advertisements can be realized by connecting the electronic ink screen to a base station, which greatly reduces the time and labor cost for replacing advertisements, and shortens the advertisement update cycle.
In addition, the grab handle of the present disclosure is provided with the display member 8, which can avoid disassembling the grab handle to replace paper advertisements and shorten the replacement cycle and time. In addition, the use of the ink screen reduces manufacturing and use costs while displaying images.
