Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a walker for patients with fractures. Background Art

[0002] Orthopedics is one of the most common departments in major hospitals. It mainly studies the anatomy, physiology and pathology of the skeletal muscle system, and uses drugs, surgery and physical methods to maintain and develop the normal form and function of this system. With the development of society, the trauma caused by traffic accidents has increased significantly. In order to help orthopedic patients exercise and repair, walkers are important medical devices in orthopedics. Walkers, also known as walkers, walking aids, are a kind of device that helps the human body support weight, maintain balance and walk through the support of the machine. The main function is to support the center of gravity of the human body, assist or replace limb functions, reduce the weight burden on the affected limb, and maintain the stability of the lower limb.

[0003] At present, after patients with lower limb fractures are reduced and fixed in clinical practice, most of them use crutches to walk. When patients need to rest due to physical discomfort or exhaustion while walking outside, they cannot find a place to sit and rest anytime and anywhere. Therefore, a walker with a seat function is very necessary. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a walker for patients with fractures. When the patient uses the walker to go out, when he feels unwell or needs a temporary rest, he can open the seat and convert the walker into a chair form for the patient to rest.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A walking aid for a fracture patient, comprising:

[0007] A triangular plate, wherein the upper end of the triangular plate is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged groups of first brackets, a seat plate is provided between the two groups of first brackets, the lower end of the seat plate is rotatably connected to the first bracket, the upper end side of the seat plate is rotatably connected to a leg, a connecting rod is fixedly connected between the top ends of the two groups of first brackets, the upper end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged groups of second brackets, a handshake is fixedly connected between the two groups of second brackets, an armpit support is fixedly connected between the top ends of the two groups of second brackets, and the lower end of the triangular plate is fixedly connected to the rod tip;

[0008] A first limiting structure is provided between the lower end of the seat plate and the first bracket, and a second limiting structure is provided between the upper end of the seat plate and the supporting legs.

[0009] The above technical solution, its principle and technical effects:

[0010] Before use, the seat is embedded between the two groups of first brackets, and the seat and the first bracket are fixed by the first limiting structure to limit the rotation of the seat, and at the same time the legs are fitted to the seat, and the seat and the legs are fixed by the second limiting structure to limit the rotation of the legs. At this time, the walker is in the form of a crutch, and the patient uses the walker to assist in walking. When the patient needs to sit for a short rest, the restriction between the seat and the first bracket is released, the seat is rotated to be perpendicular to the first bracket, and the rotation of the seat is restricted, the restriction between the seat and the legs is contacted, the legs are rotated to be perpendicular to the seat, and the rotation of the legs is restricted. At this time, the two groups of legs and the rod tips jointly support the walker, and the patient can sit on the seat to rest.

[0011] Furthermore, the first limiting structure includes a fixing plate, which is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the seat plate, and first threaded holes are opened on both sides of the lower end of the seat plate, and second threaded holes identical to the first threaded holes are opened on both sides of the fixing plate, and a first through-hole is opened at the lower end of the first bracket, and a first bolt passes through the first through-hole and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole or the second threaded hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the seat plate and the fixed plate are arranged perpendicularly.

[0013] Furthermore, the second limiting structure includes a fixing rod, which is fixedly connected between the two sets of legs. The fixing rod is provided with third threaded holes arranged perpendicular to each other. The upper end of the seat plate is provided with a second through-hole, and the second bolt passes through the second through-hole and is threadedly connected to one of the third threaded holes.

[0014] Furthermore, a reinforcing rod is fixedly connected between the two legs.

The upper and lower ends of the triangular plate are respectively provided with fourth threaded holes, and the third bolt passes through the third through-hole and is threadedly connected to one of the fourth threaded holes.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom end of the rod tip is fixedly connected with an anti-slip pad.

[0017] The nouns, conjunctions or adjectives involved in the above technical solution are explained as follows:

[0018] A fixed connection is a connection in which parts or components are fixed without any relative movement. There are two types of connections: detachable and non-detachable.

[0019] (1) A removable connection is a method of fastening components together using screws, splines, wedge pins, etc. This type of connection allows for disassembly during maintenance without damaging the components. However, the connectors used must be of the correct specifications (e.g., length of bolts, keys, wedge pins) and properly tightened.

[0020] (2) Non-detachable connections mainly refer to welding, riveting, and tenoning. Since they require forging, sawing, or oxygen cutting to disassemble during repair or replacement, spare parts generally cannot be reused. At the same time, when making connections, attention should be paid to workmanship quality, technical inspection, and remedial measures (such as calibration, polishing, etc.).

[0021] A threaded connection refers to a detachable connection in which the connected parts are connected together using a threaded part (or the threaded part of the connected parts).

[0022] A sliding connection is when two objects are in contact but not fixed and can slide relative to each other.

[0023] A rotational connection is a connection between parts that allows the parts to rotate relative to each other.

[0024] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0025] When the patient uses the walker to go out, if he feels unwell or needs to take a temporary rest, he can open the seat plate and the walker is converted into a chair form for the patient to rest. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0034] According to the concept of this application, Figures 1 to 5 An embodiment of a walker for patients with fractures will now be described. Specifically, the walker is constructed as a split structure, comprising a seat plate 3, legs 4, and a rod tip 9. Prior to use, the seat plate 3 is interlocked between two sets of first brackets 2, and secured to the first brackets 2 by a first limiting structure 10, restricting rotation of the seat plate 3. Simultaneously, the legs 4 engage the seat plate 3, and are secured to the legs 4 by a second limiting structure 11, restricting rotation of the legs 4. At this point, the walker functions as a crutch, and the patient uses the walker to assist in walking. When the patient needs to sit for a short rest, the restraint between the seat plate 3 and the first brackets 2 is released, the seat plate 3 is rotated perpendicular to the first brackets 2, and the seat plate 3 is restrained from rotating again. The restraint between the seat plate 3 and the legs 4 is then engaged, and the legs 4 are rotated perpendicular to the seat plate 3, restricting rotation again. At this point, the two sets of legs 4 and the rod tip 9 jointly support the walker, allowing the patient to sit on the seat plate 3 and rest.

[0035] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a walking aid for patients with fractures, comprising:

[0036] Triangle plate 1, the upper end of the triangle plate 1 is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged groups of first brackets 2, a seat plate 3 is provided between the two groups of first brackets 2, the lower end of the seat plate 3 is rotatably connected to the first bracket 2, the upper end side of the seat plate 3 is rotatably connected to the support leg 4, a connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected between the top ends of the two groups of first brackets 2, the upper end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to two symmetrically arranged groups of second brackets 6, a handshake 7 is fixedly connected between the two groups of second brackets 6, an armpit support 8 is fixedly connected between the top ends of the two groups of second brackets 6, and the lower end of the triangle plate 1 is fixedly connected to the rod tip 9;

[0037] A first limiting structure 10 is provided between the lower end of the seat plate 3 and the first bracket 2 , and a second limiting structure 11 is provided between the upper end of the seat plate 3 and the supporting leg 4 .

[0038] Before use, the seat board 3 is embedded between the two groups of first brackets 2, and the seat board 3 and the first bracket 2 are fixed by the first limiting structure 10 to limit the rotation of the seat board 3. At the same time, the legs 4 are fitted into the seat board 3, and the seat board 3 and the legs 4 are fixed by the second limiting structure 11 to limit the rotation of the legs 4. At this time, the walker is in the form of a crutch, and the patient uses the walker to assist in walking. When the patient needs to sit for a short rest, the restriction between the seat board 3 and the first bracket 2 is released, the seat board 3 is rotated to be perpendicular to the first bracket 2, and the rotation of the seat board 3 is restricted. The restriction between the seat board 3 and the legs 4 is contacted, and the legs 4 are rotated to be perpendicular to the seat board 3, and the rotation of the legs 4 is restricted. At this time, the two groups of legs 4 and the rod tip 9 jointly support the walker, and the patient can sit on the seat board 3 to rest.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first retaining structure 10 includes a fixing plate 12 fixedly connected to the bottom side of the seat plate 3. A first threaded hole 13 is formed on both sides of the lower end of the seat plate 3. A second threaded hole 14 identical to the first threaded hole 13 is formed on both sides of the fixing plate 12. A first through-hole 15 is formed at the lower end of the first bracket 2. A first bolt 16 passes through the first through-hole 15 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 13 or the second threaded hole 14. When the seat plate 3 is inserted between the two sets of first brackets 2, the first through-hole 15 aligns with the first threaded hole 13, and the first bolt 16 passes through the first through-hole 15 and is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole 13, thereby securing the seat plate 3. When the seat plate 3 is in the open position, the first through-hole 15 aligns with the second threaded hole 14, and the first bolt 16 passes through the first through-hole 15 and is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 14, thereby securing the seat plate 3.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the seat plate 3 is arranged perpendicular to the fixing plate 12. This ensures that the seat plate 3 can be perpendicular to the first bracket 2 when the seat plate 3 is opened.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second limiting structure 11 includes a fixing rod 17, which is fixedly connected between the two sets of legs 4. The fixing rod 17 has third threaded holes 18 arranged perpendicular to each other. The upper end of the seat plate 3 has second through-holes 19, through which a second bolt 20 passes, threadedly connected to one of the third threaded holes 18. When the two sets of legs 4 are in contact with the seat plate 3, the second bolt 20 passes through the second through-holes 19 and threadedly connects with the third threaded holes 18, thereby securing the legs 4. When the legs 4 are rotated to an open position, the second bolt 20 passes through the second through-holes 19 and threadedly connects with the other third threaded hole 18, thereby securing the legs 4.

[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, a reinforcing rod 27 is fixedly connected between the two legs 4 .

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, connecting blocks 21 are rotatably connected to both sides of the triangular plate 1. Slide rods 22 are slidably connected to the connecting blocks 21. A moving block 23 is rotatably connected between the upper ends of the two sets of slide rods 22. A third through-hole is formed in the moving block 23. A fourth threaded hole 25 is formed at the upper and lower ends of the triangular plate 1, respectively. A third bolt 26 passes through the third through-hole and is threadedly connected to one of the fourth threaded holes 25. When the third bolt 26 is threadedly connected through the fourth threaded hole 25 at the upper end of the third through-hole, the slide rods 22 are in a retracted state. When the patient needs to rest and opens the seat 3, the moving block 23 can be moved downward, and the slide rods 22 extend downward and expand outward. After the moving block 23 is fixed, the two slide rods 22 further play a supporting role, making the seat 3 more stable.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom end of the rod tip 9 is fixedly connected with an anti-skid pad to play an anti-skid role.
