[0026] Specifically, one end of the two tightening bolts 24 close to the ball bearing 31 passes through the corresponding stabilizing frame 26 and the clamping frame 27 and extends to the inside of the mounting block 32. The connection parts between the two tightening bolts 24 and the corresponding stabilizing frame 26 and the clamping frame 27 are threaded connections. The connection parts between the two tightening bolts 24 and the corresponding mounting blocks 32 are movably sleeved. The insides of the two mounting blocks 32 are provided with fixing grooves 30, and the two ball bearings 31 are respectively arranged inside the fixing grooves 30 on the mounting blocks 32.
[0027] In this embodiment, the tightening bolt 24 is threadedly connected to the stabilizing frame 26 and the clamping frame 27, so that after the tightening bolt 24 is tightened toward the front, the tightening bolt 24 will not move toward the rear end, thereby ensuring the positioning effect of the subsequent clamping plate 25. The tightening bolt 24 is fixedly connected to the mounting block 32, and the characteristics of the ball bearing 31 are utilized to prevent the tightening bolt 24 from driving the mounting block 32 and the clamping plate to move together when rotating, thereby avoiding affecting the subsequent clamping effect.
[0028] Specifically, the bottom of the umbrella 28 passes through the inside of the two clamping frames 27 and extends to the top of the rubber pad 22 .
[0029] In this embodiment, a stabilizing frame 26 is provided at the bottom of the rubber pad 22 to ensure that the main frame of the umbrella 28 does not extend too much into the two clamping frames 27 , and the rubber pad 22 can reduce the cushioning of the main umbrella 28 frame when it contacts the stabilizing frame 26 .
[0030] Specifically, the brake line 5 is fixedly connected to the brake connecting end on the brake pedal 14 away from the brake mechanism 7 , and the two brake pedals 14 are respectively located inside the two anti-slip handlebar covers 1 .
[0031] In this embodiment, when the patient's hand supports the elderly walker body 2 with force, the arm drives the body weight to press on the anti-skid handle cover 1, and then presses on the brake pedal 14, so that the brake line 5 drives the brake mechanism 7 to brake the corresponding moving wheel 6, thereby ensuring that when the patient uses the elderly walker body 2 to move the body, the moving wheel 6 is in a braking state, avoiding the elderly walker body 2 from accidentally sliding or slipping during use; the safety of the patient when using the elderly walker can be improved, and the risk of falling and other accidents can be reduced. At the same time, the brake pedal 14 is set under the anti-skid handle cover 1, and the elderly walker can only be stopped when the patient's elderly walker body 2 is assisted to move, and the brake pedal 14 is reset when the patient's elderly walker body 2 is lifted, and the braking of the brake mechanism 7 disappears, which does not affect the patient's pushing of the elderly walker body 2, and will facilitate the patient to perform the braking operation when braking the elderly walker body 2, avoiding affecting the patient's pushing of the elderly walker body 2, thereby reducing the labor of the patient's fingers and improving the flexibility and controllability of the walker.
[0032] Specifically, a placement groove 18 is provided at the rear end of the backrest 3 near the left and right sides, and a slide rod 20 is fixedly installed on the inner front end wall of the two placement grooves 18 near the left and right sides. A spring 19 is fixedly installed at the center of the inner front end wall of the two placement grooves 18, and a slide plate 21 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the two springs 19, and a magnet 16 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the two slide plates 21.
[0033] In the present embodiment, when the magnet 16 contacts the iron sheet 17, the magnet 16 extends out of the placement groove 18, thereby enhancing the stability of the seat plate 9 when it is folded. When the patient leans on the backrest 3 and contacts the magnet 16, the magnet 16 retracts into the placement groove 18 due to the pressure and pushes the slide plate 21 to move along the slide rod 20, thereby compressing the spring 19 until the patient's body is away from the magnet 16 and the pressure on the spring 19 disappears. Subsequently, the spring 19 pushes the slide plate 21 to move along the slide rod 20 again, thereby pushing the magnet 16 out of the placement groove 18 again, ensuring subsequent use and without harming the patient due to the hardness of the magnet 16.
[0034] Specifically, iron sheets 17 are fixedly installed at the top rear end of the seat plate 9 near the left and right sides, and the two hooks 10 are respectively placed on two adjacent cross bars 11 at one end away from the seat plate 9 when in use.
[0035] Specifically, the front sides of the two slides 21 are provided with slide grooves near the left and right sides, the outer surfaces of the multiple slide rods 20 are respectively movably connected to the inner grooves of the two slides 21, and the rear ends of the multiple slide rods 20 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner rear end walls of the placement groove 18.
[0036] In this embodiment, the stability of the slide plate 21 during movement is enhanced.
[0037] Specifically, the rear ends of the two magnets 16 respectively penetrate the inner rear end walls of two adjacent placement grooves 18 and extend out of the rear end of the backrest 3 and are respectively adsorbed by the two iron sheets 17 and one end of the seat plate 9 .
[0038] In this embodiment, the stability of the seat plate 9 when it is stowed is enhanced.
[0039] When in use, when the patient's hands support the main body 2 of the elderly walker, the arm drives the body's weight to press on the anti-skid handle cover 1, and then presses on the brake pedal 14, so that the brake line 5 drives the brake mechanism 7 to brake the corresponding moving wheel 6, thereby ensuring that when the patient uses the elderly walker main body 2 to move the body, the moving wheel 6 is in a braking state, avoiding the elderly walker main body 2 from accidentally sliding or slipping during use; the safety of the patient when using the elderly walker can be improved, and the risk of falling and other accidents can be reduced. At the same time, the brake pedal 14 is arranged under the anti-skid handle cover 1, and only when the patient's elderly walker main body 2 is moved The elderly walker can be stopped only when the patient is walking and assisting in moving. When the patient's elderly walker body 2 is lifted, the brake pedal 14 is reset, and the braking of the brake mechanism 7 disappears, which does not affect the patient's pushing of the elderly walker body 2. It will be convenient for the patient to perform the braking operation when braking the elderly walker body 2, avoiding affecting the patient's pushing of the elderly walker body 2, thereby reducing the labor of the patient's fingers and improving the flexibility and controllability of the walker; when the patient needs to sit down, pull the seat plate 9 to separate the iron sheet 17 from the magnet 16, and then use the two hooks 10 on the seat plate 9 to respectively rest on the two cross bars 11, so that the patient can sit down and rest. When the patient leans on the backrest 3 and contacts the magnet 16, the magnet 16 retracts into the placement groove 18 due to the pressure, and pushes the slide plate 21 to move along the slide bar 20, thereby compressing the spring 19 until the patient's body is away from the magnet 16, and the pressure on the spring 19 disappears. Subsequently, the spring 19 pushes the slide plate 21 to move along the slide bar 20 again, thereby pushing the magnet 16 out of the placement groove 18 to ensure subsequent use, and the patient will not be hurt by the hardness of the magnet 16. After the patient has a good rest, the seat plate 9 is folded up to keep the hook 10 away from the cross bar 11, so that the iron sheet 17 contacts the magnet 16. When the magnet 16 contacts the iron sheet 17, The magnet 16 extends out of the placement groove 18, thereby enhancing the stability of the seat plate 9 when it is folded, which is convenient for next use. When it rains and the umbrella 28 needs to be opened, others or patients can be asked to open the umbrella 28 when sitting down, and the main umbrella 28 frame on the umbrella 28 is inserted into the stabilizing frame 26, and the tightening bolt 24 is turned. The tightening bolt 24 is turned to drive the mounting block 32 and the clamping plate 25 to move toward the main umbrella 28 frame on the umbrella 28 until the front of the clamping plate 25 is in close contact with the main umbrella 28 frame on the umbrella 28, thereby fixing the umbrella 28 on the mounting plate 15. The size of the umbrella 28 and the body shape of the user can be selected to expand the scope of use and prevent the patient from getting wet.
[0040] In summary, the multi-directional protection elderly walker, by providing a spring 19, a slide bar 20, a slide plate 21, a magnet 16 and a placement slot 18, can quickly fold up and fix the seat plate 9 when the patient rests on the backrest 3 without causing harm to the patient, so as to prevent the seat plate 9 from being opened when not in use and improve the patient's comfort; by providing a clamping frame 27, a stabilizing frame 26, a tightening bolt 24, a pressing plate 25, a mounting plate 15 and an umbrella 28, the patient does not need to hold the umbrella 28. Different umbrellas 28 can be clamped to expand the scope of use and reduce the risk of patients getting wet by rain on rainy days; by providing the brake pedal 14 and the anti-slip handle cover 1, it can prevent the patient's hands from slipping, and it can also prevent the patient's hands from directly contacting the brake pedal 14 which is too hard and causes damage to the patient's palms. The elderly walker body 2 can be pushed when it is necessary to move, and when the elderly walker body 2 needs to brake, the elderly walker body 2 can brake in time without the fingers having to hold the handbrake for a long time, thereby reducing the workload of the fingers.
