[0021] The following will describe the implementation methods of the present application in detail with the help of accompanying drawings and examples, so that the implementation process of how the present application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0023] With regard to the existing walking aids, they are usually in the shape of a frame to support the forward leaning state of people undergoing rehabilitation training. However, rehabilitation training is a behavior that needs to be carried out continuously. After a period of time, the patient needs to rest. However, the existing walking aids are not equipped with structures such as benches, and thus the patient needs to go to a place with benches or be equipped with benches to rest. For the elderly or patients with inconvenient legs and feet and poor walking ability, when a small number of rest benches are placed on the training route, the amount of exercise generated may be greater than the adapted amount of exercise that the patient can withstand, so that some existing walking aids cannot meet the usage needs.

[0024] In order to solve the problem that patients cannot rest anytime and anywhere during rehabilitation training. This solution specifically provides a convenient and aging-friendly walking aid, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a main support frame 1 is provided, and a supporting auxiliary frame 2 for stabilizing the supporting force is installed on the main support frame 1. The main support frame 1 and the supporting auxiliary frame 2 constitute a frame-shaped supporting unit for supporting the patient to lean forward. A brake wheel 3 is installed between the supporting auxiliary frame 2 and the main support frame 1 to adapt to patients with weak upper arm strength and unable to lift the supporting unit for a long time. The distance between the patient and the supporting unit can be adjusted by pushing forward. A stool assembly 4 for intermittent rest of the elderly is installed on the main support frame 1. The stool assembly 4 is used to support the user to switch between resting and walking states by establishing or releasing the extended state between the main support frame 1 and the supporting auxiliary frame 2.

[0025] The supporting main frame 1 includes two symmetrical supporting rods 12, and the brake wheels 3 are installed at the bottom of the two supporting rods 12. A lining plate 11 is arranged between the two supporting rods 12, and a middle beam 13 for enhancing horizontal load is arranged between the two supporting rods 12 at the upper ends of the lining plates 11. A grab bar for connecting the two lining plates 11 for users to grasp is arranged at the upper end of the middle beam 13. The collar 14 is installed on the supporting rod 12 at the upper end of the brake wheel 3 and sleeved on the top column 22. The structure of the collar 14 is as follows: Figure 1 The combination state of the collar 14 and the top column 22 is shown in Figure 2 As shown. The sleeve 14 is made of flexible material, and its diameter will expand when pushed by external force, and shrink later when the external force is small. In this specific embodiment, the gripping rod can be set as a single horizontal straight rod. The patient concentrates the forward driving force by placing both hands on a horizontal line, reducing the force applied by the upper arm to push the support unit forward, so it is more suitable for patients with weak upper arm strength but good balance. On the other hand, the gripping rod can be set in a U-shape. The patient's gripping position is adjusted to a left-right symmetrical state, so that it is easier to balance the force applied to the support unit by applying force from the left and right directions, which is more suitable for patients with poor balance. The lining plate 11 is installed between the two support rods 12 and rotates circumferentially along the connection between it and the support rod 12 as the center of the circle. Therefore, when it is driven to rotate by external force, it can be adjusted to an angle between ninety degrees and zero degrees with the support rod 12, so as to achieve a vertical or fitted state between the seat plate 42 and the two support rods 12.

[0026] The bench assembly 4 includes two symmetrical connecting plates 41 installed on the main support frame 1, and a bench board 42 sliding thereon is arranged between the two connecting plates 41. A plurality of ventilation holes 6 are provided on the bench board 42 to facilitate ventilation in summer. The width of the bench board 42 is smaller than the width between the main support frame 1 and the auxiliary support frame 2. The bench board 42 is arranged on the connecting plate 41 in a T shape. When the connecting plate 41 is in a degree state, the width of the structure where the bench board 42 and the auxiliary support frame 2 are connected is greater than the width between the connecting plates 41. The top column 22 is installed at the junction of the bench board 42 and the auxiliary support frame structure and away from the end of the bench board 42 that contacts the user. The auxiliary support plate includes an extension rod 23 connected to the two support rods 12 respectively. A support rod 24 is provided at the front end of the extension rod 23, and a slide plate 5 is installed at the lower end of the support rod 24 for sliding along the brake wheel 3 after being subjected to force. A support plate 21 adapted to the position of the bench board 42 is installed on the support rod 24, and an inner groove is provided on the support plate 21 to adapt to the top column 22 provided on the bench board 42, and the installation height of the support plate 21 is smaller than the installation height of the extension rod 23. Therefore, when the patient sits down, he can hold the extension rod 23 as an armrest to increase his own stability when sitting down.

[0027] The control method of the present invention is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be realized by simple programming by technicians in this field. The provision of power is also common knowledge in this field. The present invention is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the present invention will no longer explain the control method and circuit connection in detail.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
