[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The utility model provides an embodiment of a rehabilitation walker, including a frame 1. The main structure of the entire rehabilitation walker provides a stable support for the user, ensuring stability and reliability during walking and use. The outside of the frame 1 is fixedly connected with an armrest 2. The setting of the armrest 2 allows the user to hold it tightly when walking, which increases the stability and safety of the user when walking and effectively prevents the user from falling or losing balance. Two sliding holes 3 are provided on the right side of the frame 1. A spring 4 is provided inside the sliding hole 3. One end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected to the internal top of the sliding hole 3, and the other end of the spring 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block 5. This connection method ensures that the spring 4 can effectively exert its elastic effect, providing stable elastic support for the movement of the sliding block 5. The sliding block 5 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding hole 3. The adjacent side of the two sliding blocks 5 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 6. The outside of the rotating rod 6 is fixedly connected to the bench 7. The bench 7 provides a resting place for the user. When the user feels tired, he can sit down and rest at any time to relieve physical fatigue.

[0024] Reference Figures 2 to 4The right side of the bottom end of the bench 7 is rotatably connected to two driving components for providing power. The driving component includes an electric push rod 8. The electric push rod 8 can accurately control the distance of pushing and retracting to achieve precise operation and adjustment. The top end of the electric push rod 8 is rotatably connected to the right side of the bottom end of the bench 7. This connection method ensures that the electric push rod 8 can play a stable role during work and can be adjusted accordingly as the bench 7 rotates. The driving end of the electric push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting block 11 to ensure that the electric push rod 8 can effectively push the connecting block 11 to move. The left side of the bench 7 rotates internally with two support legs 9. The support legs 9 can be unfolded when needed to provide stable support for the bench 7 and increase safety during use. The support legs 9 are fixedly connected to the support rod 10 inside to improve its bearing capacity and stability. The support rod 10 is slidably connected to the connecting block 11 outside to ensure that the connecting block 11 The movement is smooth and smooth, the outside of the connecting block 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the supporting leg 9, and a locking groove 12 is provided on the top right side of the frame 1. The left end of the bench 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the locking groove 12, and the outside of the supporting leg 9 is slidably connected to the inside of the locking groove 12. The bottom end of the frame 1 is fixedly connected with multiple universal wheels 13. The universal wheels 13 enable the rehabilitation walker to flexibly turn and move, which is convenient for the user to walk in different directions and adjust the position. The outside of the supporting leg 9 is fixedly connected to two elastic ropes 14, which can be appropriately adjusted according to the user's leg size to provide a comfortable fixing effect. The adjacent side of each two elastic ropes 14 is fixedly connected to a foot restraint block 15, which can effectively fix the user's foot to prevent the foot from sliding or detaching during use. The inside of the sliding hole 3 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 16, and the outside of the sliding block 5 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixing rod 16.

[0025] Working principle: When the elderly need to rest, they can place their feet on the foot restraint block 15 and use the elasticity and restraint of the elastic rope 14 to fix their feet. Under this restraint, the elderly's feet can have a certain amount of space to move, which can ensure safety and allow the feet to be properly relaxed and active.

[0026] When you're ready to continue your rest, you activate electric push rod 8. This generates a driving force that causes connecting block 11 to slide smoothly inside support leg 9 and outside support rod 10. During this sliding process, the movement of connecting block 11 causes support leg 9 to gradually slide into the bottom end of bench 7. This effectively merges bench 7 and support leg 9, reducing the overall space occupied.

[0027] Next, press down on the bench 7, then push it up. This series of movements causes the bench 7 to move the rotating rod 6, which in turn causes the sliding block 5 connected to the rotating rod 6 to slide within the sliding hole 3. As the sliding block 5 slides, it compresses the spring 4. Because the spring 4 is elastic, it stores energy when compressed, generating a rebound force.

[0028] This resilience plays an important role in providing the necessary force for the left end of the bench 7 to engage with the engaging groove 12. When the bench 7 is engaged with the engaging groove 12, the resilience of the spring 4 ensures that the bench 7 is securely stored in the designated position and will not easily shake or fall off, thereby ensuring stability after storage. This allows the elderly to walk with the rehabilitation walker without being disturbed by the stored bench 7, allowing them to move more safely and smoothly.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
