DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0021] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description, claims and above-mentioned drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to be used to describe a specific order or sequence. For the embodiments of this application described herein, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.
[0022] Referring to Figures 1-3 , a step-counting and fall-preventing walking aid, comprising a support plate 1 and a pedometer 5. The model of the pedometer 5 is BL-578B. An anti-fall net pocket 14 is installed at the bottom of the arc part of the support plate 1, and the other two ends of the anti-fall net pocket 14 are fixed to the support plate 1 through a detachable connection assembly. First, the patient stands in the gap at the middle position of the device, then takes the anti-fall net pocket 14 and passes it through the crotch of the patient, and fixes the remaining two ends of the anti-fall net pocket 14 to the support plate 1 through the connection assembly. A plurality of support rods 2 are fixed to the bottom of the support plate 1 by bolts. The bottom ends of the support rods 2 on the same side are fixed with universal wheels 3 by bolts. The bottom ends of the other two support rods 2 are both fixed with connection blocks 10 by bolts. An electronic brake 9 is installed on the top of the connection block 10. A connection shaft 11 is rotatably connected inside the connection block 10. A brake pad 12 is installed on the outer side of the connection shaft 11, and the top of the brake pad 12 is located inside the electronic brake 9. One end of the connection shaft 11 passes through the connection block 10 and is fixed with a roller 13 by bolts. During the walking process of the patient, the universal wheels 3 and the roller 13 roll, and the pedometer 5 counts steps. When the patient's legs are weak during the training process, the patient can sit on the anti-fall net pocket 14 to prevent falling due to weak legs during the walking assistance. When it is necessary to stop, the electronic brake 9 is activated to lock the brake pad 12, so that the connection shaft 11 drives the roller 13 to stop rotating, thereby realizing braking.
[0023] In the present utility model, it should be noted that the connecting component includes two sub - buttons 16, which are respectively installed on the inner sides of both ends of the support plate 1. Both ends of the anti - fall net pocket 14 are sewn with female buttons 15, and the female buttons 15 are inserted and engaged with the sub - buttons 16, and the sub - buttons 16 and the female buttons 15 are clamped and fixed, so that the corresponding two ends of the anti - fall net pocket 14 are fixed to the support plate 1. A sponge pad 8 is adhered to the upper surface of the support plate 1. The patient can support the body by placing the arm on the support plate 1. The sponge pad 8 can provide protection for the patient's arm, making the patient more comfortable when supporting, and avoiding discomfort caused by the hard material of the support plate 1 when supporting the body. Two handles 6 are fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 1 by bolts. A switch 7 is arranged on one side of the handle 6. The switch 7 is convenient for the patient to turn on and off the electronic brake 9, and the switch 7 is electrically connected to the electronic brake 9. A connecting rod 4 is fixed between the two support rods 2 by bolts. The connecting rod 4 strengthens the connection between the multiple support rods 2. The top of the electronic pedometer 5 is fixed to the upper surface of the support plate 1 by bolts.
[0024] Working principle: When the walking aid is needed, first, the patient stands in the gap in the middle position of the device, then takes the anti - fall net pocket 14 and passes it through under the patient's crotch, and clamps and fixes the sub - button 16 and the female button 15. The patient holds the handles 6 with both hands and starts walking. During the walking process, the universal wheels 3 and the rollers 13 roll, and the electronic pedometer 5 counts the steps. When the patient's legs are weak during the training process, the patient can sit on the anti - fall net pocket 14 to prevent falling due to weak legs during the walking assistance. When stopping is needed, the patient presses the switch 7, and the electronic brake 9 locks the brake pads 12, so that the connecting shaft 11 drives the roller 13 to stop rotating, thereby realizing braking.
