DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0026] Example: Figure 1 Figure 2As shown, a patient postoperative mobility aid device comprises a first electric cylinder body 1, the piston at the lower end of which can retractably adjust the height of the device. The first electric cylinder body 1 adopts a Model B2 built-in power supply electric cylinder with large load-bearing capacity and stability, and also has advanced functions such as gait control and intelligent sensing, which can simulate the gait of normal walking and provide better balance and stability. Four groups of first electric cylinder bodies 1 and the top column 8 at the upper end form the frame of the device. The second electric cylinder 9 between the top columns 8 (the Model A1 built-in power supply electric cylinder has a smaller size and a lightweight design) can cooperate with the first adjustment plate 10, the protrusion 11, the second adjustment plate 12, and the groove 13 to form an adjustment buckle to adjust the left and right distance of the device. When the piston of the second electric cylinder 9 is extended or retracted, the protrusion 11 of the first adjustment plate 10 of the lower adjustment buckle and the groove 13 of the second adjustment plate 12 are adjusted following the movement of the upper second electric cylinder 9, and cooperate to complete the adjustment of the left and right distance of the device, so that the device can better fit the patient's physical condition and gait characteristics, and provide a more personalized, comfortable and convenient use experience. The axillary clip 5 between the top column 8 and the upper axillary rod 20 can be used in combination to provide stable support, help the patient maintain balance and stabilize the body, and reduce the burden on the patient by bearing part of the weight of the upper limbs. The patient can stabilize his pace by holding the handle 4 to reduce the risk of falling. The anti-slip cover 6 and the axillary clip pad 7 can increase the protection of the patient's skin and reduce skin damage.

[0027] like Figure 3 Figure 4 As shown, the mounting ring 18 on the outside of the first electric cylinder body 1 is connected to the supporting circular ring plate 2 at the lower end through the supporting column 19. The supporting circular ring plate 2 can increase the contact area of ​​the device, disperse the weight and reduce the risk of sliding, and provide greater stability and support. The universal wheel 14 installed at the bottom of the piston of the first electric cylinder body 1 can pass through the hole in the middle of the supporting circular ring plate 2, so as to adjust the length of the universal wheel 14 according to the road conditions. The limiter 16 can be installed in the spiral groove 15 through the upper end screw sleeve 17 and the spiral groove 15 opened at the upper end of the top column 8. The second electric cylinder 9 is thereby fixed in the middle of the top column 8 and is easy to dismantle. The piston of the second electric cylinder 9 is retracted, and the first adjustment plate 10 and the second adjustment plate 12 of the lower end adjustment buckle can be separated. The device can be divided into two parts to reduce the occupied space and be easy to carry.

[0028] Working principle: the piston at the lower end of the first electric cylinder body 1 can adjust the height of the device by telescoping. When the piston of the second electric cylinder 9 between the top columns 8 is telescoping, the protrusion 11 of the first adjusting plate 10 of the lower adjusting buckle and the groove 13 of the second adjusting plate 12 are adjusted following the movement of the second electric cylinder 9 above, and the adjustment of the left and right distance of the device is completed in cooperation, so that the device can better fit the patient's physical condition and gait characteristics, and provide a more personalized, comfortable and convenient use experience. The limiter 16 can be installed in the spiral groove 15 through the upper end screw sleeve 17 and the spiral groove 15 opened at the upper end of the top column 8. The second electric cylinder 9 is thereby fixed in the middle of the top column 8 and is easy to remove. The piston of the second electric cylinder 9 is telescoping, and the first adjusting plate 10 and the second adjusting plate 12 of the lower end adjusting buckle can be separated. The device can be divided into two parts to reduce the occupied space and be easy to carry. The armpit clip 5 between the top columns 8 and the armpit upper rod 20 and the handle 4 are used in combination to provide stable support to help patients maintain balance and stabilize their bodies. The anti-slip sleeve 6 and the armpit clip pad 7 can increase the protection of the patient's skin and reduce skin damage.

[0029] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art may still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein.
