Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of orthopedic nursing equipment, in particular to an orthopedic safety nursing walking aid device suitable for use in summer. Background Art

[0002] During the rehabilitation treatment of orthopedic patients, they usually use a walker to maintain balance, and then use the support of the walker to carry out necessary daily movements or simple walking training. The design of the walker needs to take into account the characteristics of the patient's postoperative recovery and how to provide maximum support and comfort. In the hot summer, the walker does not have the necessary cooling structure. When using it, the patient will consume more energy than ordinary people and generate more heat, resulting in an overall temperature higher than ordinary people, which reduces the patient's comfort. The existing patent with announcement number CN215274329U discloses an orthopedic nursing walker, which has an air conditioner and a fan device installed on both sides of the frame device. The air conditioner ensures that walking in the hot summer will not feel hot, which increases the comfort of use. The fan device accelerates the air flow to ensure the circulation of cold air, and the frame device ensures that the support movement is stable and reliable. However, the addition of the cooling and fan devices only affects the patient's lower body, making the fan and cooling range too large. Blowing cold air to the patient's legs for a long time will actually hinder the patient's leg recovery. Furthermore, the entire walker is extremely heavy, making it inconvenient for the patient to push it while walking. Furthermore, the installation of the lower rollers makes the walker difficult to maintain stability, increasing the risk of falls. Furthermore, in the summer, not only do the legs need cooling, but the patient's upper body also needs to be kept cool during recovery exercises. During rehabilitation exercises, patients also need fall protection to prevent falls due to physical exhaustion, etc. The entire device needs to be monitored, and an alarm is issued when the device tilts to prevent falls. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an orthopedic safety nursing walking aid device suitable for summer use, which has adjustable wind direction, can blow on the patient's whole body and protect the patient from falling during walking training.

[0004] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions: an orthopedic safety nursing walking aid device suitable for summer use, comprising:

[0005] A U-shaped support rod, with telescopic rods fixedly mounted at the four corners of its lower part, which can be extended and retracted up and down to adjust the height and locked;

[0006] The air supply mechanism has a mounting bracket at each end, and is rotatably mounted on the front of the U-shaped support rod through the mounting bracket; the air supply mechanism includes an air duct pipe in the middle, and mounting seats are embedded at both ends of the air duct pipe, at least one of which has a fan installed in it, and each of the mounting seats is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket at its corresponding position, an opening is provided on the side of the air duct pipe, and the air duct pipe can rotate between the two mounting seats.

[0007] The working principle of this technical solution is that the air supply mechanism is rotatably mounted on the front of the U-shaped support rod via a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket itself can rotate on the U-shaped support rod, thereby adjusting the position of the air supply mechanism. The fan in the mounting seat at the end of the air supply mechanism transports external air into the air duct tube, and the air is supplied through the opening on the side of the air duct tube. The air duct tube can be rotated on the mounting bracket to adjust the position of the side opening, thereby adjusting the position of the air outlet. By adjusting the position of the air supply mechanism through the mounting bracket, air can be supplied to patients using the walker at more angles and a wider range, making them feel cool and comfortable. The fan in the mounting bracket can be powered by a rechargeable lithium battery fixed to the bottom or inside of the air duct tube. The air supply mechanism has a small structure and will not increase the weight of the walker too much, which will not burden the patient's movement. The mounting bracket is nested in the mounting bracket, which is then nested in the air duct tube. The entire air supply mechanism does not require a complex structural connection, and it is also extremely convenient to disassemble and clean the fan in the mounting bracket.

[0008] In order to better realize the present invention, further, a timing alarm is embedded in the middle of the U-shaped support rod, and the timing alarm is provided with an alarm light, a timer and a speaker. A gyroscope is also provided in the U-shaped support rod, and the gyroscope is electrically connected to the speaker in the timing alarm.

[0009] In order to better realize the present invention, further, a protective belt is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped support rod. The protective belt is in an I-shape, and its two ends are fixed to both sides of the U-shaped support rod by buckles.

[0010] In order to better realize the present invention, further, at least two U-shaped stabilizing frames are provided at the lower part of the U-shaped support rod, and each of the stabilizing frames is fixedly connected to the four telescopic rods.

[0011] In order to better realize the present invention, further, one end of the rear portion of the U-shaped support rod is rotatably connected to a protective rod, and a groove is provided at the lower portion of the free end of the protective rod. The free end of the protective rod can be rotated to the other end of the rear portion of the U-shaped support rod, and the U-shaped support rod is stuck into the groove to close the rear portion of the U-shaped support rod.

[0012] In order to better realize the present invention, further, each mounting seat is provided with a fan, and the fan transports external air into the air duct.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The air supply mechanism in the present invention is fixed to the front end of the U-shaped support rod through a rotatable mounting bracket, so that the air supply mechanism can adjust its upper and lower heights according to the use requirements, and cooperate with the rotatable air duct that can adjust the air outlet to achieve personalized adjustment of the blowing direction. When the patient walks, air cooling adjustment can be implemented for the trunk and legs, making the patient more comfortable in a high-temperature environment, thereby alleviating the patient's fatigue and heat caused by hot weather. In addition, the miniaturization of the air supply mechanism will not increase the weight of the walker too much, which will bring a burden to the patient's movement.

[0015] (2) The utility model protects the patient by setting a protective belt, providing necessary restraint protection while avoiding the risk of compression of the ribs by traditional fixation belts. The set timer alarm can set the time for rehabilitation training, avoiding long-term and high-load walking of patients, helping caregivers to supervise patients and enable patients to conduct reasonable rehabilitation training themselves. In conjunction with the gyroscope installed inside the U-shaped support rod, an alarm will be issued in time to remind caregivers when the patient falls.

[0016] (3) The utility model effectively realizes four-way independent height adjustment and structural reinforcement through the telescopic rod and the stabilizer frame. It not only adapts to the personalized needs of patients of different heights, but also improves the anti-rolling ability of the device during movement, so that the walker can maintain stable contact when used on slopes or uneven ground. The added rotatable protective rod does not affect the patient's normal use of the walker, but also adds an extra layer of protection for the patient's walking process.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] The main structure of this embodiment is as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, including:

[0027] A U-shaped support rod 1, with telescopic rods 3 fixedly mounted at the four corners of its lower portion, which can be telescoped up and down to adjust the height and locked;

[0028] The air supply mechanism 2 is provided with a mounting bracket 5 at each end, and is rotatably mounted on the front of the U-shaped support rod 1 through the mounting bracket 5; the air supply mechanism 2 includes an air duct pipe 21 in the middle, and mounting seats 22 are embedded at both ends of the air duct pipe 21, wherein a fan 23 is installed in at least one mounting seat 22, and each mounting seat 22 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 5 at its corresponding position. An opening is provided on the side of the air duct pipe 21, and the air duct pipe 21 can rotate between the two mounting seats 22.

[0029] The specific usage process is as follows: when using the walker, the patient first adjusts the height of the telescopic rod 3 so that the U-shaped support rod 1 meets the patient's height requirements. During walking, the mounting frame 5 can be rotated on the U-shaped support rod 1 to adjust the vertical height of the air duct 21. The air duct 21 is then rotated to adjust the opening of the air duct 21. Fans 23 at both ends of the air duct 21 deliver external air into the air duct 21 and blow it out through the opening. The patient can adjust the airflow direction according to their own needs, and the adjustment range includes the patient's upper and lower body.

[0030] In actual use, the fan 23 is provided with a control circuit and matched with a corresponding rechargeable lithium battery. The operation and speed gear of the fan 23 can be controlled by the switches and circuit elements in the control circuit, and the rechargeable lithium battery can be used to provide power for the fan 23.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] This embodiment further adds a timing alarm 7 based on the above embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, a timing alarm 7 is embedded in the middle of the U-shaped support rod 1, and the timing alarm 7 is provided with an alarm light, a timer and a speaker. A gyroscope is also installed in the U-shaped support rod 1, and the gyroscope is electrically connected to the speaker in the timing alarm 7. Nursing staff and patients can understand the time when the patient uses the walker through the timer in the timing alarm 7, and can set the time for rehabilitation training according to the patient's condition. After the training time is reached, the alarm light will be used to remind them. The gyroscope installed in the U-shaped support rod 1 can sense whether the U-shaped support rod 1 has fallen. If the U-shaped support rod 1 has fallen, it means that the patient has fallen. At this time, the speaker will emit an alarm sound to alert the medical staff and provide timely assistance to the patient. The timing alarm 7 and the gyroscope are both mature technology products with built-in mature control circuits that can achieve the above functions. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0033] Example 3:

[0034] On the basis of the above embodiment, this embodiment further adds a protection belt 6, such as Figure 1As shown, a protective belt 6 is provided on the inner side of the U-shaped support rod 1. The protective belt 6 is in an I-shape, and its two ends are fixed to both sides of the U-shaped support rod 1 by buckles. The I-shaped protective belt 6 adopts an elastic memory material and a multi-point pressure dispersion structure. It can be quickly installed inside the U-shaped support rod 1 through the bayonet. While providing necessary restraint protection, it avoids the risk of compression of the ribs by traditional fixing belts. The specific function is mainly to be nested in the upper part of the patient's thigh against the lower part of the pelvis. When the patient's leg suddenly loses strength, the I-shaped protective belt 6 can support the patient's pelvis and disperse the pressure, so that the patient's center of gravity remains stable and avoids tipping over. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0035] Example 4:

[0036] This embodiment further adds a stabilizing frame 4 on the basis of the above embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the lower portion of the U-shaped support bar 1 is further provided with at least two U-shaped stabilizers 4, each of which is fixedly connected to the four telescopic rods 3. The stabilizers 4 primarily stabilize the telescopic rods 3 at the four corners of the lower portion of the U-shaped support bar 1. The stabilizers 4, in conjunction with the telescopic rods 3, effectively achieve four-way independent height adjustment and structural reinforcement. This not only accommodates the individual needs of patients of varying heights, but also enhances the device's anti-roll capability during movement, ensuring the walker maintains stable contact when used on slopes or uneven surfaces. The remainder of this embodiment is identical to the previous embodiment and will not be further elaborated.

[0037] Example 5:

[0038] On the basis of the above embodiment, this embodiment further adds a protection rod 8, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rear end of the U-shaped support rod 1 is rotatably connected to a protective rod 8. The lower portion of the free end of the protective rod 8 is provided with a groove. The free end of the protective rod 8 can be rotated to the other rear end of the U-shaped support rod 1, and the U-shaped support rod 1 is snapped into the groove to seal the rear portion of the U-shaped support rod 1. The protective rod 8 can be rotated at the rear end of the U-shaped support rod 1. When the free end of the protective rod 8 is rotated to the other rear end of the U-shaped support rod 1, it can be fixed to the other rear end of the U-shaped support rod 1 using the snap-in groove at the lower portion of the free end, so that the U-shaped support rod 1 becomes an integral rectangular closed structure to protect the patient. When the patient leans backward, the protective rod 8 provides protective support. When leaving the walker, the patient only needs to rotate the protective rod 8 to separate its free end from the other rear end of the U-shaped support rod 1. The rear portion of the U-shaped support rod 1 is then opened, making it easier for the patient to leave the walker. The other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0039] Example 6:

[0040] Based on the above embodiment, this embodiment further limits the number of fans 23, such as Figure 3 As shown, each mounting base 22 is provided with a fan 23, which transports external air into the air duct 21. Since the air duct 21 has an air outlet opening on the side, fans 23 can be installed in the mounting bases 22 at both ends of the air duct 21, so that external air is transported into the air duct 21 from both sides simultaneously, forming convection within the air duct 21, so that air is blown out from the opening on the side of the air duct 21, increasing the air output. The principle is similar to that of a neck-hanging fan. The rest of this embodiment is the same as the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0041] It can be understood that the structure of the orthopedic safety care walking aid device suitable for summer use according to an embodiment of the utility model, such as the working principles and working processes of the telescopic rod 3, the fan 23, the timing alarm 7, the gyroscope and other components are all existing technologies. The model of the gyroscope selected is 505-ADXRS450BEYZ-ND, which is well known to technicians in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
