Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where like or similar reference numerals denote like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present utility model include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
[0026] A height-adjustable walking aid according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] As Figures 1-4 shown, a height-adjustable walking aid according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes two support frames 1, a telescopic device 2, two handles 3, a telescopic seat cushion 4, two night lights 5, and a sensing connector 6. Among them, the telescopic device 2 includes two mounting components 21 and a telescopic component 22. Among them, the two mounting components 21 are respectively arranged on the two support frames 1, the telescopic component 22 is movably arranged in the two mounting components 21, the two handles 3 are respectively arranged on the two mounting components 21, the telescopic seat cushion 4 is arranged on the two mounting components 21, the two night lights 5 are respectively arranged on one side of the telescopic seat cushion 4, and the sensing connector 6 is arranged on one side of one of the two handles 3.
[0028] It can be understood that when not in use, the telescopic component 22 drives the telescopic seat cushion 4 to be folded and stored, saving space. When the height of the seat needs to be adjusted, the height is adjusted by adjusting the two mounting components 21, and the height of the telescopic seat cushion 4 of the walking aid can be freely adjusted according to personal height requirements, realizing personalized adaptation and improving the use comfort. The walking aid is built-in with two night lights 5, providing sufficient light for night travel and ensuring that the elderly or the disabled can walk safely in a dim environment. It also integrates a sensing connector 6, which can be connected to a mobile phone, not only enabling family members to grasp the user's location information in real time and increasing the sense of security, but also facilitating doctors or caregivers to remotely monitor the use of the walking aid and making travel more reassuring.
[0029] In an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2As shown, the two mounting components 21 each include a mounting buckle 211, a mounting column 212, a plurality of fixing holes 213, a mounting plate 214, a fixing bolt 215 and a fixing buckle 216, wherein the mounting buckle 211 is respectively arranged on the two support frames 1, the mounting column 212 is arranged on the mounting buckle 211, a plurality of fixing holes 213 are respectively equidistantly arranged on a side wall of the mounting column 212, the mounting plate 214 is slidably arranged on the mounting column 212, the fixing bolt 215 is threadedly connected to the mounting plate 214, and the fixing bolt 215 is respectively movably connected to the plurality of fixing holes 213, the fixing buckles 216 are respectively arranged on the inner wall of the mounting plate 214, and one end of the telescopic seat cushion 4 is respectively clamped on the fixing buckle 216.
[0030] Among them, it can be understood that by rotating the fixing bolt 215 to disengage the fixing bolt 215 from the fixing hole 213, the sliding mounting plate 214 drives the telescopic seat cushion 4 to adjust its height at the same time. When it is adjusted to a suitable height, the fixing bolt 215 is rotated so that the fixing bolt 215 is fixed to the corresponding fixing hole 213, thereby completing the adjustment of the height of the telescopic seat cushion 4.
[0031] It should be noted that the telescopic seat cushion 4 described in this embodiment functionally simulates the stability of a seat belt. When the height needs to be adjusted to suit different users or scenarios, the telescopic seat cushion 4 slowly extends out on both sides to provide sufficient support area to ensure a comfortable and stable sitting feeling. Once the ideal height is reached and fixed, the edges on both sides are quickly and smoothly tightened, like a smart lock, tightly locking the seat cushion to avoid any unnecessary shaking, giving users, especially the elderly, the most solid support and sense of security.
[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic assembly 22 includes two connecting rods 221 and two connecting plates 222, wherein the two connecting rods 221 are cross-arranged, and the two connecting rods 221 are movably connected at the intersection position in the middle, the upper ends of the two connecting rods 221 are respectively connected to the two ends of the telescopic seat cushion 4, and the lower ends of the two connecting rods 221 are respectively movably connected to the inner wall of the mounting buckle 211, one end of the two connecting plates 222 is respectively movably connected to the inner wall of the fixing buckle 216, and the other end is respectively movably connected to one side of the two connecting rods 221.
[0033] Among them, it can be understood that when folding and storage are required, there are two storage methods. One is to pull the telescopic cushion 4 out of the two fixing buckles 216, and then close the two mounting components 21 inward to complete the folding and storage of the device, or by loosening the fixing bolts 215, removing the two connecting plates 222, and closing the two mounting components 21 inward. During the closing process, the two mounting plates 214 will slide upward on the two mounting columns 212, driving the two connecting rods 221 to merge, and realize folding and storage.
[0034] In one embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, storage batteries are provided inside both of the two night lights 5.
[0035] Among them, it can be understood that the storage batteries can supply power to the two night lights 5, providing sufficient light for night travel and ensuring that the elderly or the disabled can walk safely in a dim environment.
[0036] In one embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the sensing connector 6 is connected to an external device.
[0037] Among them, it can be understood that the connection technology is integrated, enabling seamless connection with a smart phone. This not only allows family members to grasp the user's location information in real time, increasing the sense of security, but also facilitates doctors or caregivers to remotely monitor the usage of the walking aid, making travel more reassuring.
[0038] It should be noted that the connection control method of the present application can be automatically controlled by a mobile phone. The connection method between the mobile phone and the device belongs to the common knowledge in the art, and the present application mainly aims to protect the mechanical structure. Therefore, the control method and the circuit connection will not be explained in detail in the present application.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 shown, positioning pulleys 11 are provided at both ends of the two support frames 1.
[0040] Among them, it can be understood that the movement of the device is facilitated by the four positioning pulleys 11, making it more time-saving and labor-saving for the elderly during walking.
[0041] Specifically, during the actual implementation process, the movement of the device is facilitated by the four positioning pulleys 11, making it more time-saving and labor-saving for the elderly during walking. After the fixing bolt 215 is rotated to disengage from the fixing hole 213, the sliding mounting plate 214 is slid, and at the same time, the telescopic seat cushion 4 is driven to adjust the height. When the appropriate height is adjusted, the fixing bolt 215 is rotated to fix the fixing bolt 215 with the corresponding fixing hole 213, and the adjustment of the height of the telescopic seat cushion 4 can be completed.
[0042] When folding and storing is required, there are two storage methods. One is to pull out the telescopic seat cushion 4 from the two fixing buckles 216, and then close the two mounting components 21 inward to complete the folding and storage of the device. Or, by loosening the fixing bolt 215, the two connecting plates 222 are removed, and the two mounting components 21 are closed inward. During the closing process, the two mounting plates 214 will slide upward on the two mounting columns 212, driving the two connecting rods 221 to merge, realizing the folding and storage.
[0043] The battery can supply power to two night lights 5, providing sufficient light for night travel, ensuring that the elderly or those with limited mobility can walk safely in a dim environment. It integrates the sensing connector 6 technology and can be seamlessly connected to a smartphone. This not only allows family members to keep track of the user's location information in real time, increasing the sense of security, but also facilitates doctors or caregivers to remotely monitor the usage of the walking aid, making travel more reassuring.
[0044] In summary, an adjustable walking aid according to an embodiment of the present utility model is provided with a telescopic device, which can be easily folded, saving space and facilitating storage and carrying. It is also equipped with an adjustable mounting component, and the user can freely adjust the height of the walking aid according to personal height requirements to achieve personalized adaptation. The walking aid has a built-in small night light function, providing sufficient light for night travel. It also integrates the sensing connector technology and is connected to the mobile phone, enabling family members to keep track of the user's location information in real time, increasing the sense of security and making travel more reassuring.
