[0032] 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.

[0033] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 2 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: a new type of multifunctional walking aid, including a bracket 1, a first connecting rod 3 is fixedly connected between adjacent brackets 1, a sliding chair 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first connecting rod 3, third chutes 9 are opened on the front and rear sides of the sliding chair 10, a slide rod 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding chair 10, second connecting rods 12 are fixedly connected to both ends of the first connecting rod 3, second chutes 4 are opened on the inner sides of the second connecting rods 12, the outer wall of a second soft pad 18 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second chute 4, a fixed rod 22 is fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the bracket 1, a leg 20 is fixedly connected to the left end of the fixed rod 22, a rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rear leg 20, a rotating rod 6 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5, a baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the leg 20, a protection mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 1, and the protection mechanism 2 can prevent the user from falling directly to the ground when falling to the left or right, a holding rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the leg 20, and a second anti-slip sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the holding rod 15;

[0034] Specifically, the bracket 1 is the core component of the entire device, which undertakes the role of supporting and connecting other components. On the inner side of the bracket 1, the first connecting rod 3 is fixedly connected. The outer wall of the first connecting rod 3 is rotatably connected to the sliding chair 10, enabling the sliding chair 10 to rotate and move flexibly. The top end of the leg 20 is fixedly connected to the grip rod 15, and the outer wall of the grip rod 15 is fixedly connected to the second anti-slip sleeve 14. This design enables the user to better hold the grip rod 15, preventing accidental slipping during use. Moreover, when sitting on the sliding chair 10 after the grip rod 15 drops, the grip rod 15 can be used as an armrest, increasing stability.

[0035] Please refer to the attached Figure 3 - attached Figure 4 Specifically, the protection mechanism 2 includes a hollow rod 208. The outer wall of the hollow rod 208 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket 1. A first chute 213 is provided on the inner side of the hollow rod 208. A moving rod 205 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow rod 208. A first clamping block 206 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the moving rod 205. A spring 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the moving rod 205. A protection pad 201 is fixedly connected to the top end of the moving rod 205. A V-shaped groove 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the first connecting rod 3. A micro motor 209 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the V-shaped groove 202. A second clamping block 210 is fixedly connected to the output end of the micro motor 209. Control buttons 211 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the inner wall of the V-shaped groove 202. A rolling ball 212 is arranged inside the V-shaped groove 202. A guide rod 203 is fixedly connected to the upper middle part of the outer wall of the bracket 1. A slider 204 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 203. The outer wall of the slider 204 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protection pad 201. The control button 211 is electrically connected to the micro motor 209;

[0036] Specifically, when stationary, the rolling ball 212 will stay at the lowest point of the V-shaped groove 202 due to gravity. Control buttons 211 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the V-shaped groove 202. When the mechanism tilts, the rolling ball 212 inside it will roll accordingly, triggering the control button 211, causing the micro motor 209 to start, driving the second clamping block 210 to rotate, unlocking it from the first clamping block 206, enabling the elastic force of the spring 207 to be released, pushing the moving rod 205 forward, and thus pushing out the protection pad 201, blocking between the user and the ground. The guide rod 203 enables the slider 204 fixedly connected to the protection pad 201 to slide along it, ensuring the smooth sliding out of the protection pad 201.

[0037] Please refer to the attached Figure 5 - attached Figure 6, a non-slip mat 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support 1, a reflector 17 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the support 1, a second cushion 18 is fixedly connected to the right side of the sliding chair 10, a first cushion 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sliding chair 10, a connecting rod three 21 is fixedly connected to the top end of the support 1, a rotating plate 13 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod three 21, a baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the inner side outer wall of the leg 20, and a first anti-slip sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 6;

[0038] Specifically, a reflector 17 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the support 1, which is a wise safety consideration. In an environment with insufficient light, the reflector 17 can improve the visibility of the device and effectively avoid accidental collisions. A first anti-slip sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod 6. This anti-slip sleeve not only improves the holding comfort of the rotating rod 6 but also prevents slipping caused by sweating of the hand during use.

[0039] Working principle: When the user needs to rest, rotate the rotating plate 13 to unlock the sliding chair 10, pull the sliding chair 10 so that both ends of the sliding rod 19 slide in the second chute 4 and the third chute 9 respectively, thereby driving the sliding chair 10 to slide down until it stops horizontally. Rotate the rotating rod 6 upward along the rotating shaft 5. After sitting on the sliding chair 10, lower the rotating rod 6 until it is blocked by the baffle 8. When the seat is not needed, push the sliding chair 10 upward until it is in the vertical position, and rotate the rotating plate 13 to limit it.

[0040] When the device is in a static state, the rolling ball 212 will stay at the bottom end of the V-shaped groove 202. When the user drives the assistive device to fall to both sides, the rolling ball 212 will slide to one end to trigger the control button 211, causing the micro motor 209 electrically connected to it to rotate. The second latch 210 rotates accordingly, unlocking the first latch 206 locked with it, so that the moving rod 205 is pushed by the spring 207 fixedly connected to its bottom end. As a result, the protective pad 201 fixedly connected to the top end of the moving rod 205 slides along the guide rod 203, so that the protective pad 201 is ejected, allowing the user to fall on the protective pad 201 without falling to the ground.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
