Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of walking aids, and in particular to an anti-fall walking aid for the elderly. Background Art
[0002] A walker, also called a gait aid, is a common anti-fall walking device for the elderly. Walkers are widely used in hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and other places. They can be used not only for the elderly, but also for patients with mobility problems such as trauma, hemiplegia, and disability.
[0003] After investigation, it is found that there are two main types of walkers on the market. One is fixed, with an immovable frame, and the second is foldable, which is more convenient and easier to carry at different times. However, these two types of walkers not only cannot provide assistance when going up and down stairs, but also become a burden for users.
[0004] After searching relevant materials and patents, it was found that when it comes to assisting the user in going up and down stairs, most of the walkers have front or rear legs that are made to be adjustable in length to adapt to the shape of the stairs. Although the above design has a certain effect on assisting the user in going up and down stairs, it is not stable enough and there is still a high possibility that the elderly will fall.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] Combined with Figure 1-Figure 4 The anti-fall walking aid device for the elderly is composed of a No. 1 bracket 17 and a No. 2 bracket 11. A No. 1 support seat 19 is installed on the top of the No. 1 bracket 17, and a No. 1 grip bar 20 is fixedly installed on the No. 1 support seat 19. A No. 2 support seat 24 is installed on the top of the No. 2 bracket 11, and a No. 2 grip bar 23 is fixedly installed on the No. 2 support seat 24. When walking on flat ground, the user puts two forearms on the No. 1 support seat 19 and the No. 2 support seat 24 for support, and holds the No. 1 grip bar 20 and the No. 2 grip bar 23 with both hands for control. The No. 1 bracket 17 and the No. 2 bracket 11 play a supporting role with the ground, and the user can drive himself to walk by the strength of the upper body to reduce the pressure on the lower body when walking:
[0027] However, the applicant found that such a structure often cannot play a supporting role when dealing with stair steps, but becomes a burden. Therefore, the applicant has made design improvements so that the present application can achieve a crutch-like support, and cooperate with the handrails equipped on the stairs to play an auxiliary support role for going up and down the stairs, specifically:
[0028] A deformation assembly 40 is provided between the No. 1 bracket 17 and the No. 2 bracket 11, and the deformation assembly 40 includes a No. 1 crossbar 13 and a No. 2 crossbar 38. Both ends of the No. 1 crossbar 13 and the No. 2 crossbar 38 are rotatably arranged on the No. 2 bracket 11 and the No. 1 bracket 17, respectively. Thus, the No. 2 bracket 11, the No. 1 crossbar 13, the No. 1 bracket 17 and the No. 2 crossbar 38 form a parallelogram structure. This design can ensure that the No. 1 bracket 17 is always parallel to the No. 2 bracket 11, and the No. 2 bracket 11 can move upwards in the process of approaching the No. 1 bracket 17, thereby increasing the height of the No. 2 bracket 11, so that the No. 2 bracket 11 rises to the user's armpit position, thereby providing a more comfortable support for the user when going up and down the stairs, and reducing the possibility of the user falling;
[0029] Of course, the No. 2 cross bar 38 and the No. 1 cross bar 13 are to be used as support bars of the present application when the user walks on flat ground. For this purpose, a locking structure is added between the No. 2 cross bar 38 and the No. 1 cross bar 13. The locking structure includes a No. 2 threaded head 39 fixed on the No. 2 cross bar 38 and a No. 1 threaded head 15 fixed on the No. 1 cross bar 13. Threads are arranged in the No. 2 threaded head 39 and the No. 1 threaded head 15, and threads are passed through the No. 2 threaded head 39 and the No. 1 threaded head 15. The No. 1 threaded head 15 is provided with a threaded rod 14, and the threaded rod 14 is also threadedly connected with the No. 1 threaded head 15 and the No. 2 threaded head 39 at the same time, so as to realize the locking of the No. 1 cross bar 13 and the No. 2 cross bar 38. In order to facilitate the rotation of the threaded rod 14, a rotating head 16 is fixed on the top of the threaded rod 14. After the rotating head 16 is rotated to drive the threaded rod 14 to rotate out of the No. 1 threaded head 15 for a distance, the No. 2 cross bar 38 and the No. 1 cross bar 13 can be rotated freely;
[0030] After the No. 2 bracket 11 is moved closer to the No. 1 bracket 17, it is necessary to relatively fix the No. 2 bracket 11 with the No. 1 bracket 17. To this end, a locking plate 18 is fixedly installed on the No. 1 bracket 17. A locking groove 25 is provided on one side of the locking plate 18. The locking groove 25 is close in size to the No. 2 bracket 11, so as to facilitate the No. 2 bracket 11 to be pressed against. A through hole 26 penetrating the locking plate 18 is provided on one side of the locking groove 25. A thread is provided in the through hole 26 and a locking member 28 is threadedly connected thereto. The end of the locking member 28 is fixed The rotating head 29 is blocked by the blocking piece 27 fixed on the locking plate 18. The blocking piece 27 serves to limit the rotating head 29 and prevent the rotating head 29 from falling off. In addition, a positioning hole 37 is provided on the second bracket 11. A thread is provided in the positioning hole 37. After the second bracket 11 is moved closer to the first bracket 17, the positioning hole 37 is opposite to the through hole 26. The locking piece 28 can be rotated into the positioning hole 37 to achieve relative fixation of the second bracket 11 and the first bracket 17.
[0031] Furthermore, in order to optimize the user's experience, the No. 2 support seat 24 is optimized to improve the comfort of the user's armpit when using it. The method is to rotatably install the No. 2 support seat 24 on the No. 2 bracket 11, and fix the cushion 34 at the bottom of the No. 2 support seat 24. The No. 1 socket 33 and the No. 2 socket 36 are respectively provided on the No. 2 support seat 24. A positioning plate 31 fixed to the No. 2 bracket 11 is provided on one side of the No. 2 support seat 24. A through groove 32 is provided on the positioning plate 31, and a cushion 34 is fixed on the bottom of the No. 2 support seat 24. There is a placement seat 35, one end of the pin 30 is stuck on the placement seat 35, and the other end of the pin 30 passes through the through groove 32 and is inserted into the No. 1 socket 33, so as to lock the No. 2 support seat 24. When using the present application as a crutch, the user needs to manually pull out the pin 30, rotate the No. 2 support seat 24 so that the cushion 34 faces upward, and reinsert the No. 1 socket 33 into the No. 2 socket 36 to lock it. At this time, the user can clamp the cushion 34 under the armpit, thereby improving the user's comfort.
[0032] Furthermore, the pad 34 can be made of a breathable soft material to prevent the user from sweating under the armpits and causing a bad user experience.
[0033] Furthermore, the placement seat 35 can be made of elastic plastic or elastic metal material, so as to provide a certain clamping force for the latch 30 therein.
[0034] In addition, the applicant considers using the No. 1 support seat 19 as the hand-holding part of the crutch user of the present application. To this end, a handle 21 is fixed at the bottom of the No. 1 support seat 19, and finger grooves 22 are evenly arranged on the handle 21. The finger grooves 22 are used to fit the user's fingers, so that the user can better exert force when holding the handle 21, thereby improving the user's experience.
[0035] In addition, support feet 12 are fixed at the bottom of the first bracket 17 and the second bracket 11 to enhance the friction between the ground.
[0036] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology in this field to understand the content of the present invention and implement it, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
