The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, and are therefore only used as examples, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model.

[0036] Example:

[0037] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the utility model provides a walking brace for spinal cord injury, including a support frame 104, wherein the support frame 104 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of support frames 104 are connected by a connecting frame 105. The bottom of the two groups of support frames 104 is provided with a bottom plate 101, and the bottom of the bottom plate 101 is provided with a walking wheel 102. The two groups of support frames 104 are provided with a supporting plate 204, and the supporting plate 204 is provided with a bracket 301. Patients with spinal cord injury can place the bracket 301 in the walking brace under their armpits to support the upper body, and move on the ground through the walking wheel 102 to reduce the force on the spine and thigh of the patient during walking, thereby improving the efficiency of spinal cord injury treatment.

[0038] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown, in the present embodiment, two groups of pallets 204 are respectively connected to two groups of support frames 104 through a lifting assembly, and the pallets 204 are driven to rise and fall by the lifting assembly. The lifting assembly includes a mounting plate 106 arranged on the support frame 104, and two groups of hinged support rods 201 are arranged on the mounting plate 106. The two groups of support rods 201 are arranged in parallel with each other, and one end of the two groups of support rods 201 are hinged to the pallets 204, and a hinged hydraulic telescopic rod 202 is arranged on the mounting plate 106, and one end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 202 is hinged to one of the groups of support rods 201.

[0039] The hydraulic telescopic rod 202 can be controlled to extend and retract to drive one of the support rods 201 to rotate along the hinge point with the mounting plate 106. The mounting plate 106, the two support rods 201 and the support plate 204 form a parallelogram structure, thereby driving the support plate 204 to rise and fall, and the support plate 204 is always in a horizontal state during the lifting and lowering process. The upper body of the patient can be lifted or lowered by lifting and lowering the support plate 204, thereby assisting the patient to sit on the toilet or stand up from the toilet. The patient does not need to use a large force to support the body during the sitting process, thereby reducing the patient's load and improving the rehabilitation efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, in this embodiment, a handle 203 is further provided between the two groups of support rods 201, and the handle 203 is arranged in parallel with the support plate 204 at an interval, and both ends of the handle 203 are respectively hinged to the two groups of support rods 201. The handle 203 remains parallel to the support plate 204 during movement, and the patient can also hold the handle 203 to assist in supporting the body during the process of sitting down and standing up.

[0041] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting ridge 205 is provided on the support plate 204, and a mounting groove 302 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 301. The mounting ridge 205 is slidably mounted in the mounting groove 302 along the extending direction of the mounting groove 302. The bracket 301 is V-shaped, and the mounting groove 302 is obliquely opened at the bottom of the bracket 301. One obliquely upward end of the mounting groove 302 is closed, and the other end is connected to the outside. A flexible pad 303 is provided on the bracket 301.

[0042] The bracket 301 of different thicknesses can be replaced according to the height of the patient, and the bracket 301 can be disassembled by sliding it along the mounting ridge 205. The V-shaped bracket 301 can effectively prevent the bracket 301 from sliding out from the patient's armpit. At the same time, in the process of supporting the patient's body, the bracket 301 is subjected to a force diagonally downward along the opening direction of the mounting groove 302, which can prevent the bracket 301 from falling off from the support plate 204, thereby improving the safety of the walking brace when in use.

[0043] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a support plate 103 is provided on the bottom plate 101, a movable plate 401 which can be raised and lowered is provided on the support plate 103, a hinged pedal 405 is provided on the movable plate 401, and a torsion spring 407 is provided at the hinge point between the movable plate 401 and the pedal 405. A mounting column 402 is provided on the movable plate 401, and the mounting column 402 is lifted and lowered on the support plate 103 along its axis, a limiting block 403 is provided at one end of the mounting column 402, and an elastic member 404 is provided between the support plate 103 and the limiting block 403.

[0044] Before sitting down, the patient can also drive the pedal 405 to rotate and open along the hinge point between the pedal 405 and the movable plate 401 by the foot, and the pedal 405 can only rotate 90 degrees, and step on the two sets of pedals 405 respectively, and drive the movable plate 401 and the pedal 405 to move downward and contact the ground, thereby compressing the elastic member 404. One side of the pedal 405 is provided with an anti-skid pattern, and the other side is provided with an anti-skid pad 406. After the pedal 405 contacts the ground, the friction with the ground is increased by the anti-skid pad 406, and the friction with the patient's foot is increased by the anti-skid pattern, so that the walking brace is fixed to the ground by the patient's own weight, and the walking brace is prevented from moving on the ground during the process of sitting down and getting up, thereby further improving the safety of the walking brace when in use.

[0045] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0046] When in use, the walking brace can support the patient's armpits through the bracket 301, and move the bottom plate 101 with the walking wheels 102 on the ground, so as to assist the patient with spinal cord injury to walk. When the patient needs to sit on the toilet to defecate, the hydraulic telescopic rod 202 can be controlled to contract to drive one group of support rods 201 to rotate along the hinge point between it and the mounting plate 106, so that the support plate 204 and the bracket 301 can be controlled to descend through the cooperation of the two groups of support rods 201 to lower the patient's upper body, so as to facilitate the patient to sit on the toilet. When the patient needs to stand up, the hydraulic telescopic rod 202 can be controlled to extend to drive the support plate 204 and the bracket 301 to rise, so as to lift the patient's upper body and reduce the force required for the patient to stand up.

[0047] When the walking brace assists the patient to sit down or stand up, the patient can also rotate the pedal 405 along the hinge point between the pedal 405 and the movable plate 401 to a horizontal state, deform the torsion spring 407 at the same time, and step on the pedal 405 with both feet, so that the pedal 405 contacts the ground, compresses the elastic member 404, and fixes the walking brace to the ground by its own gravity, thereby avoiding sliding between the walking brace and the ground when sitting down or standing up, thereby improving the safety of the walking brace when in use. After standing up, the patient moves both feet away from the pedal 405, and the pedal 405 is reversed and retracted under the action of the torsion spring 407, and the movable plate 401 is lifted off the ground under the resetting action of the elastic member 404, thereby avoiding obstruction to the patient's walking.

[0048] The basic principle and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
