[0027] Example

[0028] On the one hand, the walker cannot be folded and stored during use, resulting in the walker occupying too much external space when not in use;

[0029] Secondly, although the walker in the prior art is also provided with a foldable seat structure, the overall structure is complex, and it is inconvenient to operate when used by some elderly people with inconvenient legs and feet.

[0030] To do this, see Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a walking aid, comprising:

[0031] n-type block 1, a roller a2 is rotatably connected to the n-type block 1, two symmetrically arranged support columns 3 are fixedly connected to one side wall of the n-type block 1, the top ends of the support columns 3 are rotatably connected to an inverted L-shaped rotating rod 4, the other ends of the inverted L-shaped rotating rod 4 are fixedly connected to a hand-held rod 5, a reinforcing rod 53 is fixedly connected between the hand-held rod 5 and the inverted L-shaped rotating rod 4 on the corresponding side, and the bottom ends of the hand-held rods 5 are rotatably connected to rollers b52 through bearing seats;

[0032] A foldable seat assembly 6, which is mounted on two inverted L-shaped rotating rods 4 and connected to two hand-held rods 5. The foldable seat assembly 6 is used to facilitate the patient to unfold it when he needs to sit down, and can be folded when not in use;

[0033] The two locking components 7 are both installed on the support column 3 and the inverted L-shaped rotating rod 4. The two locking components 7 are used to achieve folding or unfolding fixation of the two inverted L-shaped rotating rods 4.

[0034] The reinforcing rod 53 can ensure a stable connection between the walker. The roller a2 and the two rollers b52 can facilitate the movement of the walker. A handle is fixedly connected to one end of the roller b52 on the hand-held rod 5, and the handle can be convenient for the patient or family member to hold and use.

[0035] Further as Figure 1-2 As shown, it is worth explaining in detail that a net bag 51 is tied between the two reinforcing rods 53 and the two inverted L-shaped rotating rods 4, and the two sides of the net bag 51 are also tied to the reinforcing rods 53 respectively.

[0036] The net bag 51 is a bag used to carry items, which is usually made of nylon material and is breathable and lightweight.

[0037] Further as Figure 1-2 As shown, it is worth explaining in detail that, in order to enable the two seat panels 62 to be put down for use when the patient needs to sit down, and the two seat panels 62 can be folded when not in use, a foldable seat assembly 6 is provided, including a rotating outer cylinder 61 rotatably connected to the outer sides of the two inverted L-shaped rotating rods 4, the rotating outer cylinder 61 is vertically arranged between the hand-held rod 5 on the corresponding side, the outer sides of the two rotating outer cylinders 61 are fixedly connected with a seat panel 62 with an arc-shaped structure, the bottom of the seat panel 62 is movably overlapped on the top of the L-shaped supporting rod 63, one end of the L-shaped supporting rod 63 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the hand-held rod 5 on the corresponding side, the two hand-held rods 5 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the vertical portion formed between the rotating outer cylinder 61 on the corresponding side, the key strip a66 and the outer side of the hand-held rod 5 are provided with the same movable sleeve 64, the outer side of the movable sleeve 64 is fixedly connected with two symmetrically arranged clamping blocks 65, and the distance between the two clamping blocks 65 is the same as the thickness of the seat panel 62 on the corresponding side.

[0038] Among them, the two seat plates 62 can also cover the top entrance of the net bag 51 when in use to play a shielding role. The setting of the key strip a66 makes the movable sleeve 64 unable to rotate on the holding rod and can only move up and down in a straight line.

[0039] Further as Figure 3-4 As shown, it is worth explaining in detail that in order to enable the walker to be folded and stored when not in use and to reduce the space occupied, a locking assembly 7 is provided, which includes a key bar b71 fixed to the outer side of the inverted L-shaped rotating rod 4, the bottom end of the key bar b71 is movably overlapped on the top edge of the support column 3, the key bar b71 and the outer movable sleeve 64 of the inverted L-shaped rotating rod 4 are provided with the same I-shaped sleeve 72, the top of the I-shaped sleeve 72 is connected to a limiting block 74 through a spring 73, the limiting block 74 is fixed to the outer side of the inverted L-shaped rotating rod 4, the spring 73 movable sleeve 64 is provided on the outer side of the inverted L-shaped rotating rod 4, a pull block 75 is fixed to the outer side of the I-shaped sleeve 72, an inverted L-shaped clamping column 76 fixed to the outer side of the I-shaped sleeve 72 is provided below the pull block 75, a locking seat 77 is fixed to the outer side of the support column 3, the locking seat 77 is located below the pull block 75, and the locking seat 77 is provided with two clamping holes 78 that cooperate with the bottom end of the inverted L-shaped clamping column 76.

[0040] Among them, the bottom end of the industrial sleeve 72 is movably fitted on the top of the support column 3; the two clamping holes 78 on the same clamping seat 77 are set at the center of the top circle of the support column 3 on the same side, and the angle between the center points of the two clamping holes 78 is 30 degrees.

[0041] In summary: when using the walker, when the walker needs to be folded, family members or patients with independent mobility can pull the work-shaped sleeve 72 up by holding the pull block 75, so that the spring 73 is compressed and the inverted L-shaped clamping column 76 leaves the corresponding clamping hole 78 respectively. At this time, the two inverted L-shaped rotating rods 4 are closed, and the bottom ends of the inverted L-shaped clamping columns 76 are respectively inserted into the other clamping holes 78, so that the walker can be folded, stored and fixed, so that when not in use, the external space required can be reduced. Secondly, the two movable sleeves 64 can be held by hand to drive the corresponding two clamping blocks 65 to move up respectively, so that the seat plate 62 on the corresponding side is not clamped and limited by the two clamping blocks 65, and then the seat plate 62 is flipped down and supported by the L-shaped support rod 63, so that the walker can be transformed into a small wheelchair structure for use, and can be pushed and moved by family members, which is easy to use, further bringing convenience to the patient when using it.
