[0034] Example: Reference Figure 1-5 The smart crutch shown comprises a rod body 1, a handle 2 fixedly connected to the rod body 1 and a support rod 4, wherein the handle 2 is provided with a smart auxiliary structure 3;
[0035] The intelligent auxiliary structure 3 can be used for positioning, alarm, lighting and playback;
[0036] The support rod 4 cooperates with the rod body 1 through the adjustment structure 5;
[0037] The outer surface of the support rod 4 is also provided with a support structure 6 for adjusting the support area.
[0038] The rod body 1 and the support rod 4 are made of steel structure.
[0039] The user holds the handle 2 and then uses the adjustment structure 5 to adjust the length of the support rod 4. Then, some functions of the intelligent auxiliary structure 3 can be used for playback and lighting. The guardian can know the specific location of the user through positioning. When an emergency occurs to the user, the alarm function can also be used to notify the guardian to arrive in time. The user can also use the support structure 6 to adjust the required support area according to the road surface and his own situation, which is safer to use.
[0040] The intelligent auxiliary structure 3 includes an SOS rescue unit 31 fixedly connected to the handle 2, a playback unit 32, a charging port 34, an indicator light 35, a lighting lamp 36, and a switch 33 for controlling the lighting lamp 36;
[0041] The SOS unit 31 and the playback unit 32 are both controlled by button activation.
[0042] The handle 2 is also provided with a battery, and the charging port 34 is a USB interface, and the battery can be charged by connecting a charging cable, and the indicator light 35 cooperates with the battery, and when the battery is full or almost exhausted, different colors will be emitted to warn, and the SOS rescue unit 31 is also provided with a GPS positioning, and the two are used in conjunction with each other;
[0043] It is worth noting that, when encountering an emergency, the user can press the button to start the SOS rescue unit 31 to alarm by themselves, and the location will be automatically sent according to the GPS positioning, so that the rescue personnel can know the specific location at the first time and rush to the rescue quickly;
[0044] The playback unit 32 can be used with a suitable storage card to play music, audiobooks and other content, thereby increasing the fun of walking for the user. The lighting lamp 36 is provided to provide the crutch with a lighting function, thereby preventing the user from falling down due to inability to see the road surface clearly at night or in dimly lit places.
[0045] The support structure 6 includes two adjustment sleeves 61 respectively sleeved on the outer surface of the support rod 4, and also includes a retractable structure for adjusting the position of the upper adjustment sleeve 61, wherein the side wall of one adjustment sleeve 61 is rotatably connected to a support leg 63, and the bottom end of the support leg 63 is fixedly connected to a support pad 65, and the support leg 63 is rotatably connected to the other adjustment sleeve 61 through a connecting rod 612.
[0046] It is worth mentioning that the design of the support pad 65 provides protection for the support leg 63. While the support leg 63 provides support, it also prevents the support leg 63 from directly contacting the ground, thereby avoiding problems such as wear and tear on the ground during use.
[0047] The outer surfaces of the two adjustment sleeves 61 are fixedly connected with the first rotating shaft 62, one end of the support leg 63 is rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 62 of the side wall of one of the adjustment sleeves 61, and the inner wall of the support leg 63 is fixedly connected with the second rotating shaft 64, and the two ends of the connecting rod 612 are rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 62 and the second rotating shaft 64 of the side wall of the other adjustment sleeve 61.
[0048] It is worth mentioning that the design of the first rotating shaft 62 and the second rotating shaft 64 enables the connecting rod 612 to adaptively change its angle as the angle of the supporting leg 63 changes, and has stronger adaptability.
[0049] The retractable structure includes a tooth plate 66 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support rod 4, wherein a ring 67 is fixedly connected to the top of one of the adjustment sleeves 61, and a latch 69 is rotatably provided on the ring 67 for cooperating with the tooth plate 66, one end of the latch 69 is fixedly connected to a flat plate 610, and one end of the flat plate 610 is fixedly connected to an inclined plate 611.
[0050] The inside of the collar 67 is fixedly connected with a shaft 68, the latching teeth 69 are rotatably sleeved on the shaft 68, and a torque spring 613 is sleeved on the shaft 68;
[0051] Two ends of the torque spring 613 are fixedly connected to the shaft 68 and the side wall of the latching tooth 69 respectively.
[0052] When adjusting, lift the inclined plate 611 upwards to drive the latching teeth 69 to rotate outwards along the shaft 68 and apply force to the torque spring 613, then slide the collar 67 downwards to drive the adjustment sleeve 61 to slide downwards, and as the adjustment sleeve 61 slides downwards, the connecting rod 612 will resist the support leg 63 and open outwards, and during this period, the first rotating shaft 62 and the second rotating shaft 64 will adaptively adjust the adaptation angle until the support pad 65 on the support leg 63 is flush with the bottom end of the support rod 4, then release the inclined plate 611, and the latching teeth 69 are stuck in the tooth plate 66 for support, so as to assist in support and complete the adjustment;
[0053] When not in use, lift the inclined plate 611 upwards and push the adjustment sleeve 61 upwards in the opposite direction. At this time, the connecting rod 612 will be forced to rotate upwards, and the opened support legs 63 will be retracted as the pushing distance increases. Then, the inclined plate 611 is opened, and the latch teeth 69 are engaged in the tooth plate 66, thereby completing the storage of the support legs 63.
[0054] It is worth mentioning that, through the design of the support structure 6, while single-point support is provided by the support rod 4, multiple support points can be added by adjusting the support structure 6, thereby increasing the support area with the ground, making it more stable on muddy roads or mountains, and can be freely adjusted according to specific usage requirements, and the adjustment method is simple and convenient, and the support effect is better.
[0055] The adjustment structure 5 includes a protrusion 52 slidably connected to the side wall of the support rod 4, and a plurality of adjustment grooves 51 are provided on the rod body 1, and the protrusion 52 and the adjustment grooves 51 are matched;
[0056] The protrusion 52 is slidably connected in the support rod 4 via a compression spring.
[0057] The protrusion 52 is pressed, and the protrusion 52 is pressed by the compression spring, and then it sinks into the support rod 4 and separates from the adjustment slot 51. Then the support rod 4 is pulled downward to adjust. At this time, the protrusion 52 is squeezed by the inner wall of the rod body 1. When sliding to the next adjustment slot 51, the protrusion 52 loses the squeezing force and then enters another adjustment slot 51, thereby completing the length adjustment;
[0058] It is worth noting that, by adjusting the setting of the structure 5, different personnel can quickly and easily adjust the length according to specific usage requirements when using it. It is simple and convenient to use, which greatly improves the overall applicability.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, it is still possible for those skilled in the art to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or to make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
