DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] See also Figure 1-3 In this embodiment, an elderly auxiliary walker includes a base plate 1, universal wheels 2 are fixed on all sides of the bottom of the base plate 1, support columns 3 are fixed on all sides of the top of the base plate 1, a middle plate 4 is fixed on the top of the support columns 3, and height components 5 are fixed on the tops of all sides of the middle plate 4. It should be noted that the height component 5 includes a thick rod 501 fixed on the top of the middle plate 4, and a thin rod 502 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the thick rod 501. When the thin rod 502 slides into the inner cavity of the thick rod 501, the height is reduced. When the thin rod 502 slides outward, a plurality of card-connecting through holes are opened on the outer surface of the thick rod 501, and the card-connecting through holes are evenly distributed. The walker can be fixed to different heights by carding at different positions.

[0023] It should be noted that a snap-in box 503 located inside the thick rod 501 is fixed at the bottom of the thin rod 502, and a component that can be used for snap-in is fixed inside the snap-in box 503, which can be fixed at the existing height by snap-in, and a limiting plate 504 is fixed at the bottom of the snap-in box 503, which plays a limiting role and can limit the thin rod 502 through its own volume to prevent it from slipping out of the inner cavity of the thick rod 501.

[0024] It should be noted that a clamping spring 505 is fixed to the left side of the inner cavity of the clamping box 503, and a clamping joint 506 is fixed to the right side of the clamping spring 505, which passes through the clamping hole and extends to the outside of the thick rod 501. The clamping joint 506 can be pushed out by the rear clamping spring 505, so as to be clamped and fixed with the clamping hole.

[0025] A top plate 6 is fixed on the top of the height component 5. It should be noted that the bottom plate 1, the middle plate 4 and the top plate 6 are all U-shaped, and the empty space is reserved for the elderly to stand. They can stand inside and perform rehabilitation training with the help of an auxiliary walker. The area of ​​the bottom plate 1 is larger than that of the middle plate 4, and the area of ​​the middle plate 4 is larger than that of the top plate 6. This stepped design can improve the operating stability of the mechanism and keep the center of gravity at the bottom.

[0026] In addition, force-reducing components 7 that can share the gravity of the elderly are fixed on the left and right sides of the top of the top plate 6. It should be noted that the force-reducing component 7 includes outer rods fixed on the left and right sides of the top of the top plate 6, and the inner surface of the outer rod is slidably connected to the inner rod. The inner plate slides into the inner cavity of the outer rod to shrink and squeeze the support spring. When there is no pressure, it will recover due to the elastic force of the spring.

[0027] It should be noted that limiting blocks are fixed on both sides of the inner rod, and a support block is fixed on the top of the inner rod. The support block is fixed with a support spring through the top of the outer rod, which is sleeved on the outer surface of the inner rod and fixed to the support block at the top. The support spring is elastically deformed when squeezed, and the deformation accumulates elastic force, which offsets the pressure by releasing the elastic force, thereby supporting the armpits of the elderly person above and making it more labor-saving.

[0028] During use, the elderly person places his / her armpits on the top of the force reducing component 7 to share the body weight, holds the supporting components 8 on both sides with both hands to hold them tightly and walks slowly, and the universal wheels 2 below are spread around to help the elderly person maintain balance, thereby exercising the elderly person's body and evenly dispersing the elderly person's weight, achieving a good exercise effect.

[0029] Finally, support components 8 are fixed to both left and right sides of the middle plate 4 .

[0030] See also Figure 4 In order to make it easier for the elderly to walk, the support assembly 8 in this embodiment includes a support plate 801 fixed on the left and right sides of the middle plate 4, a support seat 802 is fixed at the bottom of the support plate 801, a rotating shaft 803 is fixed on the inner side of the support seat 802, and a large wheel 804 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 803, and a support handle 805 is fixed on the top of the support plate 801, and a non-slip rubber sleeve 806 is fixed on the outer surface of the support handle 805. The non-slip rubber sleeve 806 has a soft texture, a rough surface, and a large friction force, which can increase the grip of the hand to make the grip more firm and the hand more comfortable.

[0031] In general, by holding the support handle 805 with hands and walking slowly with legs, the large wheel 804 is driven to rotate around the rotating shaft 803, so that the movement of the mechanism is transformed into rolling, and the weight of the elderly person is shared on the upper side and rolled forward together.

[0032] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0033] During use, the card joint 506 is pushed into the interior of the thick rod 501 by pressing it, so that the card spring 505 undergoes elastic deformation, and the thin rod 502 is stretched or contracted by pressing it. After it is adjusted to a suitable position, the internal card joint 506 pops out from the corresponding card through hole to limit the height, allowing the elderly to hold the walker, walk into the inner side of the bottom plate 1, the middle plate 4 and the top plate 6 from the back and place the armpits on the top of the support block to share the body weight, and the lower bearing spring is stressed to release the elastic force to cushion the elderly's armpits, and the universal wheels 2 below are scattered around to help the elderly keep balance. Grasp the support handle 805 with both hands, walk slowly with both legs, drive the large wheel 804 to rotate around the rotating shaft 803, so that the movement of the mechanism is changed to rolling, and the weight of the elderly shared above is rolled forward together, and by sharing the weight of the elderly, the elderly can more easily perform rehabilitation training, and the training effect is good.
