Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of walking aids, and in particular relates to a walking aid suitable for elderly patients with hypertension. Background Art

[0002] Hypertension is the most common chronic disease and the leading risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. A healthy person's blood pressure fluctuates within a certain range depending on internal and external environmental factors. In the general population, blood pressure levels gradually increase with age, especially in the elderly and obese. Some hypertensive patients may even require a walking aid.

[0003] After searching, the publication number CN211750878U discloses a walking aid device suitable for elderly patients with hypertension, which includes a U-shaped column with a support mechanism at the bottom. Although the above device can prevent the elderly from getting tired easily during use, the elderly will walk unsteadily during use, and when falling, the elderly may easily follow the movement of the device, which may cause danger to the elderly. Therefore, a walking aid device suitable for elderly patients with hypertension is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a walking aid suitable for elderly patients with hypertension. Not only can the device be braked by moving the brake lever downward to improve the safety of use and prevent the vehicle from slipping and falling, but the supporting force of the spring can be adjusted to adapt to people of different weights, improve the flexibility of use, and can also adapt to people of different heights, thereby solving the existing technical problems.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A walking aid suitable for elderly hypertensive patients, comprising: a walking frame, a space for people to enter is provided in the middle of the walking frame, and a pair of arm support plates for supporting forearms are installed on the top of the walking frame;

[0007] Two sets of walking mechanisms, each of which is installed at the bottom of the walking frame. The walking mechanism includes two sliding rods and two pressing sleeves. The sliding rods slide through the bottom of the walking frame, and the pressing sleeves are fixed to the bottom inner wall of the walking frame. The sliding rods are respectively plugged into the pressing sleeves. The bottoms of the sliding rods are fixedly connected to fixed seats, and rollers are rotatably connected in the fixed seats. Springs for supporting the pressing sleeves are installed between the bottom of the pressing sleeves and the bottom inner wall of the walking frame.

[0008] A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the two fixing seats on the same side, and a brake rod is slidably connected to the surface of the connecting plate. The brake rod is fixed to the bottom of the walking frame, and the brake rod is used in conjunction with the rollers respectively. By installing the brake rod at the bottom of the walking frame, when the human body falls, the brake rod can be moved down to brake the device, thereby improving the safety of use and preventing the vehicle from slipping and falling.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention, one side of the walking frame is rotatably connected to a seat plate, and one side of the walking frame is fixedly connected to a limit plate used in conjunction with the seat plate.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention, a support mechanism is installed at the bottom of the arm support plate, and the support mechanism includes two positioning rods. The two positioning rods are fixed at the bottom of the arm support plate, and the two positioning rods slide through the bottom of the walking frame. A plurality of penetrating positioning holes are opened on one side of the positioning rod.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention, the support mechanism also includes a positioning assembly, which includes two insertion rods, both of which slide through one side of the walking frame and are used in conjunction with one of the positioning holes on the positioning rods. A pull plate is fixedly connected between the two insertion rods, and a tension spring is fixedly connected between the pull plate and the walking frame. The height can be adjusted through the arm support plate, so that the device can adapt to people of different heights, further improving the flexibility of use.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention, one side of the arm support plate is fixedly connected to a handle.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention, an adjustment plate is provided between the two sliding rods on the same side, the spring is located above the adjustment plate and in conflict with the adjustment plate, the bottom of the walking frame is rotatably connected to two penetrating threaded rods, the two threaded rods pass through the two adjustment plates respectively and are threadedly connected to the adjustment plates, and the length of the spring can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the spring through the adjustment plate, thereby adjusting the supporting force of the spring to adapt to people of different weights and improve flexibility of use.

[0014] In this application, when in use, a person enters the space in the middle of the walking frame, then presses the two small arms on the two arm support plates respectively, holds the worm with both hands, and then walks by pushing the walking frame;

[0015] When the user falls, the forearm presses down the arm support plate, and the arm support plate presses down the walking frame through the positioning rod. The walking frame drives the brake lever to move downward, and then multiple brake levers respectively come into contact with the rollers, thereby braking the rollers to prevent the walking frame from sliding further. The user then adjusts the body angle to stabilize the body again, improving the safety of use and preventing the scooter from slipping and falling.

[0016] When you need to rest, put the seat on the limit plate, then sit on the seat to rest. Similarly, the seat presses the walking frame down to improve safety during rest.

[0017] Pulling the pull plate can drive the insertion rod to move, so that the insertion rod is disconnected from the positioning hole, and then the height of the positioning rod can be adjusted to accommodate people of different heights and improve the flexibility of use;

[0018] By rotating the threaded rod, the threaded rod can drive the adjustment plate to move, and the adjustment plate adjusts the length of the spring, thereby adjusting the supporting force of the spring to adapt to people of different weights and further improve the flexibility of use.

[0019] The embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0020] In the utility model, by installing a brake lever at the bottom of the walking frame, when a person falls, the brake lever can be moved downward to brake the device, thereby improving the safety of use and preventing the person from slipping and falling.

[0021] In the utility model, the length of the spring can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the spring through the adjustment plate, thereby adjusting the supporting force of the spring to adapt to people of different weights and improve the flexibility of use;

[0022] In the present invention, the height of the arm support plate can be adjusted, so that the device can adapt to people of different heights, further improving the flexibility of use.

[0023] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
