[0024] Embodiment

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , the present utility model provides a walking aid, which includes a walking frame 1, a seat cushion 2, support feet 3, a seat cushion mounting frame 11, a telescopic column 12, a sliding member, and a connecting member.

[0026] Furthermore, a seat cushion mounting frame 11 is provided in the middle of the frame of the walking frame 1. A sliding member is slidably provided on the seat cushion mounting frame 11, and a foldable and collapsible seat cushion 2 is provided on the sliding member. Specifically, there are two sliding members, and the two sliding members jointly support the seat cushion 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to realize the shielding of the seat cushion 2, the seat cushion 2 can have two structures:

[0028] The first one: The seat cushion 2 is composed of two hinged plates, and the two plates are respectively connected to the two sliding members. When the distance between the two sliding members becomes closer, folding is realized; when the distance between the two sliding members becomes farther, the seat cushion opens.

[0029] The second type: The seat cushion 2 includes two fabric racks and a soft fabric located between the two fabric racks. Through the flexible characteristics of the fabric itself, folding and unfolding are completed, and the two fabric racks are respectively fixed on two sliding members.

[0030] Preferably, when one sliding member slides on the seat cushion mounting frame 11 to one side of the walking aid 1 of the walking aid 1 and cannot move further due to being restricted by the walking aid 1, while the other sliding member can still move because there is still a certain distance from the walking aid 1. At this time, the continuous movement of the other sliding member makes the distance between the two sliding members smaller, driving the seat cushion 2 to fold from the middle and making the seat cushion 2 gather together, facilitating the storage of the walking aid.

[0031] Furthermore, support feet 3 are provided on both sides of the frame of the walking aid 1. The support feet 3 are sleeved on the walking aid 1 through connecting members. Fixed columns 12 are fixedly provided on the support feet 3. The fixed columns 12 on the two support feet 3 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the seat cushion mounting frame 11, and the seat cushion mounting frame 11 is a telescopic frame.

[0032] The connecting member connects the support feet to the walking aid 1 to form a walking aid with a complete structure.

[0033] Preferably, as Figure 4 shown, when one side of the support foot 3 is separated from the walking aid 1 through the connecting member, the seat cushion mounting frame 11 completely contracts, driving the support feet fixedly connected to the seat cushion mounting frame 11 to retract into the frame of the walking aid 1, quickly folding the walking aid.

[0034] In some embodiments, the sliding member includes a sliding sleeve 21 and a support sliding column 22.

[0035] Furthermore, the sliding sleeve 21 is slidably sleeved on the seat cushion mounting frame 11. The seat cushion mounting frame 11 is arranged parallel to the ground to ensure that the seat cushion 2 on the sliding member is parallel to the ground when unfolded, facilitating people to sit down and rest; the sliding sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the support sliding column 22, and the support sliding column 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the seat cushion 2.

[0036] In some embodiments, the connecting member is set as a threaded connecting column 31, so that the support foot 3 and the walking aid 1 are threadedly sleeved through the connecting member.

[0037] Furthermore, the bottom of the threaded connecting column 31 is threadedly connected to the top of the support foot 3, and the top of the threaded connecting column 31 is threadedly sleeved with a threaded elbow 13. The threaded elbow 13 is fixedly provided on one side of the top of the frame of the walking aid 1.

[0038] Preferably, when folding the walking aid, manually rotate the threaded connection column 31. The threaded connection column 31 retracts towards the support leg 3 through the thread at the top of the support leg 3 and separates from the threaded elbow 13. Then, manually push the support leg 3 to completely contract the seat mounting bracket 11, thereby realizing the folding of the walking aid.

[0039] In some embodiments, a backrest column 14 is fixedly provided at the top of the walking frame 1. The backrest column 14 is located above the seat 2 and is used in cooperation with the seat 2 in the unfolded state. When a person sits on the seat 2, the backrest column 14 can form a backrest to assist in supporting the person.

[0040] In some embodiments, an anti-slip sleeve 15 is sleeved on the top of the frame of the walking frame 1. When using the walking aid, a person holds the anti-slip sleeve 15, which provides the functions of anti-slip and sweat absorption.

[0041] So far, the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of the present invention, some details well known in the art have not been described. Those skilled in the art can clearly understand how to implement the technical solutions of the present invention based on the above description. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.
