Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical assistive devices, specifically to a walking aid. Background Technology

[0002] After thoracic surgery, patients usually need to have their chest immobilized to assist them post-surgery; however, during the recovery process, patients typically need to undergo walking rehabilitation. As a result, with the movement of the body, traditional chest-fixing devices are unable to provide support for the patient's walking process when walking rehabilitation training is needed, which reduces the overall stability and consistency. Therefore, we propose a walking aid that effectively ensures the stability of postoperative patients during the walking rehabilitation process. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a walking aid to improve the stability of postoperative walking rehabilitation training.

The driving magnetic assembly includes an abutment component and a magnetic drive component. The abutment component is installed at least three times on the mounting abutment sleeve and arranged circumferentially. Each abutment component includes an abutment rotating frame and a lifting cylinder. One end of the abutment rotating frame is hinged to the inner side of the mounting abutment sleeve. One end of the lifting cylinder is installed on the inner side of the mounting abutment sleeve, and the other end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the abutment rotating frame. The magnetic drive component further includes a mounting frame, a motor, and a rotating wheel. One end of the mounting frame is fixedly installed on the other end of the abutment rotating frame. The motor is installed inside the rotating wheel, and the rotating wheel is rotatably installed on the other end of the mounting frame, close to the tightening sleeve. The abutment component drives the magnetic drive component to abut against or disengage from the tightening sleeve.

Detailed Implementation

[0012] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0013] The basic implementation examples are as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown: like Figures 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, a walking aid can improve stability during postoperative walking rehabilitation training.

[0014] The present invention provides a walking aid, comprising: a walking aid unit 1 and a chest care unit 2; the chest care unit 2 is disposed within the walking aid unit 1 and can be worn on a patient; the walking aid unit 1 includes a main frame 111 and a drive magnetic assembly 12; the drive magnetic assembly 12 is mounted on the main frame 111; the chest care unit 2 includes a wearable cover 21, a tightening sleeve 22, and fastening straps 23; the wearable cover 21 is worn on the patient's upper body; multiple fastening straps 23 are provided, one end of which is installed at the bottom of the wearable cover 21 and evenly distributed along the bottom of the wearable cover 21; the other end of the fastening straps 23 is installed on the tightening sleeve 22; the tightening sleeve 22 is magnetically connected to the drive magnetic assembly 12, and the drive magnetic assembly 12 drives the tightening sleeve 22 to rotate, thereby causing the fastening straps 23 to rotate and fasten to the patient. In practical application, this design aims to improve stability during walking assistance. This facilitates postoperative walking rehabilitation training while maintaining chest stability and minimizing impact on the chest during movement. In practice, when postoperative patients need to move, they simply put on the outer garment 21 and tightening sleeve 22 from top to bottom before entering the walking assist device 11. Before movement, stability is ensured by the rotation of the tightening sleeve 22 driven by the drive magnet 12, which tightens the fastening strap 23 onto the patient's body. This ensures that the walking assist device 1 and the chest care device 2 are effectively secured together during movement, maintaining body stability. Furthermore, when body immobilization is no longer needed, disconnecting the drive magnet 12 allows the walking assist device 1 to detach from the chest care device 2, facilitating rest after rehabilitation training.

[0015] In this embodiment, for ease of movement, the walking assistance unit 1 includes a main frame 111 and four moving wheels 112, each mounted on the bottom of the main frame 111. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to facilitate the effective movement of the main frame 111, thereby making it easier for patients to perform walking and mobility rehabilitation.

[0016] Meanwhile, to facilitate rest anytime and anywhere, in this embodiment, the walking assistance unit 1 also includes a seat 113, which is detachably mounted on the main frame 111. In practical application, the purpose of this design is to allow patients to sit down directly when they need to rest during walking rehabilitation, making it convenient for them to rest.

[0017] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the walking assistance unit 1 also includes a handheld bracket 114, which is provided in two locations and respectively mounted on the main frame 111. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to facilitate walking assistance, effectively utilizing the handheld bracket 114 for support and ensuring stability.

[0018] In this embodiment, the walking assistance unit 1 further includes a mounting abutment sleeve 115; the fastening strap 23 is made of rubber; and the mounting abutment sleeve 115 is mounted on the main frame 111. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to facilitate subsequent walking stability, and the rubber material of the fastening strap 23 is designed to facilitate subsequent rotation and tightening effects.

[0019] To further improve stability, in this embodiment, the driving magnetic assembly 12 includes an abutment component 121 and a magnetic drive component 122. The magnetic drive component 122 is mounted on the abutment component 121, and the abutment component 121 is mounted at least three times on the mounting sleeve 115, arranged in a circumferential pattern. In practical application, this design effectively achieves stable contact with the chest care part 2 through a three-point circumferential positioning method.

[0020] In this embodiment, to achieve the disengagement and contact transmission effect, the contact assembly 121 includes a contact rotating frame 1211 and a lifting cylinder 1212. One end of the contact rotating frame 1211 is hinged to the inner side of the mounting abutment sleeve 115; one end of the lifting cylinder 1212 is installed on the inner side of the mounting abutment sleeve 115, and the other end of the lifting cylinder 1212 is connected to the contact rotating frame 1211. In practical application, the purpose of this design is to achieve the disengagement and contact rotation effect between the walking assistance unit 1 and the chest care unit 2. The method adopted is to achieve the lifting or disengagement effect of the contact rotating frame 1211 by extending and retracting the lifting cylinder 1212, i.e., the electric cylinder. In this way, the disengagement effect can be effectively achieved, that is, when the postoperative patient needs to perform walking rehabilitation, walking rehabilitation can be performed. Through contact fixation, secondary fixation of the patient's chest is achieved, effectively forming an integral effect with the walking assistance unit 1, thereby effectively ensuring stability.

[0021] To further ensure the effective contact transmission, in this embodiment, the magnetic drive assembly 122 includes a mounting frame 1221, a motor 1222, and a rotating wheel 1223. One end of the mounting frame 1221 is fixedly mounted on the other end of the contact frame 1211. The motor 1222 is mounted inside the rotating wheel 1223, which is rotatably mounted on the other end of the mounting frame 1221, close to the tightening sleeve 22. In practical applications, the purpose of this design is to further ensure stability. Through contact rotation, the tightening sleeve 22 is effectively rotated, thereby driving the fastening band 23 to tighten. Under the tightening effect of the fastening band 23, secondary fixation of the patient's chest fastening device can be achieved, thus ensuring the stability of the postoperative patient during the rehabilitation process of walking. In the actual design, the motor 1222 is a hub motor 1222, which ensures effective driving of the rotating wheel 1223, enabling its rotation. In this embodiment, the magnetic drive assembly 122 further includes a magnetic sleeve 1224, which is mounted on the rotating wheel 1223 and magnetically connected to the tightening sleeve 22, and drives the tightening sleeve 22 to rotate; the abutting frame 1211 is provided with a battery slot 1201 and a battery 200 is installed thereon, wherein the magnetic sleeve 1224 is electrically connected to the battery 200, and the motor 1222 is electrically connected to the battery 200. In practical application, the purpose of this design is to increase the resistance of the rotating wheel 1223 during its contact with the tightening sleeve 22, so that the rotation of the rotating wheel 1223 can more effectively drive the tightening sleeve 22 to rotate, thus creating a tight effect and fixing the patient's chest. When fixation is not required, the power to the motor 1222 is directly cut off, and the telescopic lifting cylinder 1212 is activated to retract. This allows the magnetic drive assembly 122 to disengage from the tightening sleeve 22, and the fastening band 23, due to its rubber properties, will retract, thus detaching from the postoperative patient's body and eliminating the fastening effect. Finally, depending on actual needs, when walking rehabilitation is not required, the entire outer garment 21 can be removed for rest.

[0022] In summary, this walking aid is not only reasonably designed but also easy to operate, effectively ensuring the stability of the postoperative patient's chest and torso during walking. It maintains stability after secondary fixation; therefore, this device is suitable for industry promotion.
