[0002] Reverse walking, that is, walking backwards, as a unique fitness method, has received increasing attention in recent years. It has a good effect on the rehabilitation of diseases such as low back pain and herniated intervertebral discs, and at the same time shows a positive effect on the correction of some humpbacks. These special fitness effects are incomparable to other fitness programs such as forward walking;

[0003] However, there is also a significant problem with reverse walking fitness: due to the large blind area, reverse walkers often have difficulty accurately judging the environment and obstacles behind them, so accidental events such as falling and spraining are likely to occur. To solve this problem, many reverse walking fitness enthusiasts have to frequently look back when walking backwards, which not only affects the continuity and fitness effect of reverse walking, but also increases the psychological burden and sense of panic. Therefore, many people give up this effective fitness method because they think reverse walking is difficult, troublesome, easy to fall or have psychological panic, etc., resulting in the special effects that reverse walking fitness can produce not being utilized by more people. Therefore, we make improvements in this regard and propose a device for assisting a single person to walk safely backwards outdoors. Summary of the Invention

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present invention and the features and technical solutions in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0030] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings. Therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings.

[0031] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-4 , a device for assisting a single person to walk backwards safely outdoors, including a walking support mechanism 1. The walking support mechanism 1 includes a walking support structure. There are two support arms 109 arranged on the walking support structure. Grips 108 are fixedly connected to the tops of the two support arms 109. A support rod 201 is installed on one of the support arms 109. The support rod 201 is connected to a display screen 2. A control cabinet 3 is also arranged on the walking support structure. A control module is arranged in the control cabinet 3. A camera 4 is installed on the top of the control cabinet 3. Both the camera 4 and the display screen 2 are connected to the control module. The situation behind is collected in real time by the camera 4 and displayed by the display screen 2, so that the person walking backwards for fitness can observe the situation behind in real time through the person walking backwards in front of him, thereby reducing accidents such as falling and spraining the ankle caused by a large blind area and improving the safety of walking backwards for fitness.

[0032] Furthermore, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, a radar sensor 5 is also arranged on the control cabinet 3. A voice prompt 6 is installed on the display screen 2. Both the radar sensor 5 and the voice prompt 6 are connected to the control module. The control module includes two independent controllers. The radar sensor 5 and the voice prompt 6 are connected to one of the controllers. The display screen 2 and the camera 4 are connected to the other controller. The obstacles behind are detected by the radar sensor 5 and reminded by the voice prompt 6, which can provide a more secure guarantee for the user; because the radar sensor 5 has a high-precision obstacle detection ability, it can accurately sense the obstacle situation within a certain range behind the person walking backwards and is not overly interfered by environmental factors such as light.

[0033] Furthermore, a rechargeable battery is arranged in the control cabinet 3. A power switch 301 is connected between the rechargeable battery and the control module. The power switch 301 is installed on the outer side of the control cabinet 3. The rechargeable battery is used to provide the electric energy required for the overall operation.

[0034] Furthermore, a damping rotating shaft is connected between the display screen 2 and the support rod 201. The damping rotating shaft connects the display screen 2 and the support rod 201 together, so that the angle of the display screen 2 can be adjusted to facilitate the user to watch.

[0035] Furthermore, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, the walking support structure includes a chassis 113. A vertical column 101 is fixedly installed on the top of the chassis 113. A first sleeve 103 is sleeved on the outer surface of the vertical column 101. Cross bars 105 are fixedly connected to both sides of the first sleeve 103. Second sleeves 106 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the two cross bars 105. The two second sleeves 106 are respectively fixedly connected to the two support arms 109. The cooperation between the cross bar 105 and the second sleeve 106 can support the support arm 109, and the distance between the two support arms 109 can be adjusted to meet the usage requirements of different users.

[0036] Further, as Figures 1-3 shown, two universal wheels 111 are installed at the bottom of the chassis 113. Two rollers 112 are also installed at the bottom of the chassis 113. The cooperation between the universal wheels 111 and the rollers 112 can facilitate the movement when this application is in use. The universal wheels 111 have a unique 360-degree rotation characteristic and work together with the bottom rollers 112, bringing extremely high convenience to the movement and steering of the device.

[0037] Further, as Figure 1 shown, a number of limit holes 102 are provided on one side of the vertical column 101. A first hand-tightening bolt 104 is provided on the first sleeve 103. One end of the first hand-tightening bolt 104 is inserted into one of the limit holes 102. The height of the first sleeve 103 can be fixed by the insertion of the first hand-tightening bolt 104 into the limit hole 102. After loosening the first hand-tightening bolt 104 to separate it from the limit hole 102, the height of the support arm 109 can be adjusted by moving the first sleeve 103 up and down to meet users of different body sizes.

[0038] Further, as Figure 1 shown, a second hand-tightening bolt 107 is threadedly connected to the second sleeve 106. One end of the second hand-tightening bolt 107 passes through the second sleeve 106 and contacts the cross bar 105. After loosening the second hand-tightening bolt 107, the second sleeve 106 can be pushed to adjust the position of the support arm 109, and after tightening the second hand-tightening bolt 107, the position of the second sleeve 106 can be fixed to fix the position of the support arm 109.

[0039] Further, as Figure 1 shown, the control cabinet 3 is installed on the chassis 113, and the chassis 113 provides support for the control cabinet 3.

[0040] Further, as Figure 1 shown, a handrail 110 is also installed on the chassis 113. The setting of the handrail 110 facilitates providing a holding point for the hand when moving this application in the non-use state to facilitate movement.

[0041] The usage process of the device for assisting single-person outdoor safe backward walking provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0042] After the user adjusts the height and position of the support arm 109 according to the needs, press the power switch 301 to power on and run. The user stands between the two support arms 109, with the back facing the column 101 and facing the display screen 2. Hold the two grips 108 with both hands, place the handle on the support arm 109 and walk backward. During the backward walking process, the situation behind is collected in real time by the camera 4 and displayed on the display screen 2, so that the backward walking fitness person can observe the situation behind in real time through the forward walking fitness person in front. The radar sensor 5 is used to detect the obstacles behind and the voice prompt 6 is used to give a reminder, providing a more secure guarantee for the user.

[0043] Embodiment 2, as Figures 5-6 shown, two hollow supports 802 are fixedly installed on both sides of the first sleeve 103. A support frame 801 is inserted between the four hollow supports 802. A backrest 8 is connected to the side of the support frame 801 close to the display screen 2. By installing the hollow supports 802 on both sides of the first sleeve 103 and inserting the support frame 801 between the hollow supports 802, this connection method enables the backrest 8 to be easily installed on the first sleeve 103. At the same time, the hollow supports 802 play a certain limiting and supporting role for the support frame 801, ensuring the stability of the connection between the backrest 8 and the first sleeve.

[0044] During the backward walking exercise, the backrest 8 can separate the user's back from the first sleeve 103 to reduce the discomfort caused by the contact between the user's back and the first sleeve 103. Because the first sleeve 103 is usually hard in texture, if the user's back directly contacts the first sleeve 103, friction and compression will occur during the backward walking process, resulting in discomfort. The backrest 8 is usually made of a material with a certain softness and elasticity, which can buffer the force between the back and the first sleeve 103 and avoid the discomfort caused by direct contact, thereby improving the comfort of the user during exercise.

[0045] In the prior art, during the exercise interval, the user may need to look for additional rest facilities. In the design of this application, the backrest 8 and the support frame 801 can be removed and used as a bench, eliminating the need to prepare an additional rest seat. This enables the device to play a role in both exercise and rest scenarios, increasing the functional diversity of the device and improving the overall usage efficiency of the device.
