Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] The present utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0026] Embodiment 1

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-2 and Figure 4 , a portable walking aid, including a main board 1, a folding mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the front end of the main board 1, an installation mechanism 3 is arranged at the upper end of the folding mechanism 2, and a brake wheel I 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the main board 1.

[0028] The folding mechanism 2 includes a fixed block 201. A rotating rod 202 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed block 201. The outer wall of the rotating rod 202 is movably connected to a left folding plate 203 through a bearing. A right folding plate 204 is provided at the front end of the main board 1. A threaded groove is opened at the left end of the left folding plate 203. A threaded rod 205 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove. An activity groove 206 is opened at the front end of the left folding plate 203. A spring 207 is fixedly connected to the front end of the inner wall of the activity groove 206. A limiting block 208 is fixedly connected to the front end of the spring 207. A limiting groove 209 is opened at the front end of the right folding plate 204. By using the cooperation of parts such as the left folding plate 203, the right folding plate 204, the threaded rod 205, and the spring 207, the left folding plate 203 and the right folding plate 204 of the walking aid can be stored after use, increasing the flexibility of the walking aid in use and making it convenient for the operator to carry when needed in daily life.

[0029] Further, a connecting plate 210 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed block 201. A threaded groove is opened at the left end of the connecting plate 210. The threaded rod 205 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded groove. By using the threaded rod 205 and the connecting plate 210 in cooperation, a threaded groove is opened in the connecting plate 210, facilitating the screwing of the threaded rod 205 into the threaded groove and facilitating the subsequent fixation of the left folding plate 203 and the right folding plate 204 by the threaded rod 205.

[0030] Further, a rubber ring block 211 is fixedly connected to the left end of the left folding plate 203. A clamping groove 212 is opened at the right end of the connecting plate 210. The outer wall of the rubber ring block 211 is adapted to the inner wall of the clamping groove 212. By using the rubber ring block 211 and the clamping groove 212 in cooperation, during use, the rubber ring block 211 enters the clamping groove 212, enabling the threaded rod 205 to better fix the connecting plate 210 and the left folding plate 203. Secondly, the rubber ring block 211 can buffer the rotation of the left folding plate 203 to the connecting plate 210, preventing damage to the connecting plate 210.

[0031] Further, the outer wall of the limiting block 208 is adapted to the inner wall of the limiting groove 209. Brake wheels II 213 are fixedly connected to the lower ends of both the left folding plate 203 and the right folding plate 204. By using the limiting block 208 and the limiting groove 209 in cooperation, the limiting block 208 can enter the limiting groove 209, facilitating the fixation between the left folding plate 203 and the right folding plate 204 and preventing the left folding plate 203 and the right folding plate 204 from separating under the action of external forces.

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] Combined with Figure 1-4, on the basis of the first embodiment, the installation mechanism 3 is further obtained. The installation mechanism 3 includes a T-shaped groove 301, and the T-shaped groove 301 is opened at the upper ends of the right folding plate 204 and the left folding plate 203. The inner wall of the T-shaped groove 301 is movably connected with a T-shaped block 302. The right end of the T-shaped block 302 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 303, and the right end of the fixing plate 303 is fixedly connected with a seat 304. By using the cooperation of parts such as the seat 304, the storage groove 305, the T-shaped groove 301, and the T-shaped block 302, the walking aid can directly install the seat 304 through the T-shaped block 302 and the T-shaped groove 301 for rest when the patient exercises for a long time and the physical strength drops significantly, without the user having to walk to the rest place, reducing the possibility of secondary injury.

[0034] Further, a storage groove 305 is opened at the upper end of the main board 1, and a second rotating rod 306 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the main board 1. By using the second rotating rod 306 and cooperating with the rotating plate 307, during the use process, when the seat 304 is placed in the storage groove 305, by rotating the rotating plate 307, the rotating plate 307 can effectively limit the seat 304 to prevent the seat 304 from detaching from the storage groove 305.

[0035] Further, a rotating plate 307 is movably connected to the outer wall of the main board 1, and a handrail 308 is fixedly connected to the front end of the main board 1. By using the handrail 3058, during the actual use process, when the patient sits on the seat 304, the patient can hold the handrail with both hands at this time, so that the patient can be supported to prevent accidents.

[0036] During the actual operation process, when this device is used, first carry the device to a suitable position, then extend the left folding plate 203 and the right folding plate 204 at this time. The rubber ring block 211 enters the card slot 212, and then screw the threaded rod 205 into it through the threaded groove, so that the first brake wheel 4 and the second brake wheel 213 can work normally. At this time, the patient can normally perform walking assistance training. When the patient exercises for enough time, take out the seat 304 at this time, and then insert the T-shaped block 302 connected to the seat 304 into the T-shaped groove 301. At this time, the seat 304 can be strengthened, and the patient can rest. When the rest is sufficient, the seat 304 can be placed in the storage groove 305, and the seat 304 is limited by the rotating plate 307. When the whole needs to be folded, the threaded rod 205 can also be loosened in the same way, so that the right folding plate 204 rotates first and then presses the limiting block 208, so that the limiting block 208 compresses the spring 207, rotates the left folding plate 203, and when the limiting block 208 aligns with the limiting groove 209, loosen the limiting block 208 to effectively fix the left folding plate 203 and the right folding plate 204.

[0037] Note that in this document, relational terms such as first and second are used solely to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variation thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising an..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising said element.
