DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.
[0033] In the description of the present disclosure, in the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside of the corresponding component outline. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and have no sequential or importance.
[0034] It should also be noted that, in the description of this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "connected," "connected," and "installed" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections, indirect connections via an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this disclosure based on specific circumstances.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present disclosure provides a rehabilitation walker, including a bracket 10, a rolling mechanism 20 and a locking mechanism 30. The rolling mechanism 20 is movably installed on the bracket 10 in the up and down directions, and has a first position detached from the ground and a second position abutting the ground. The locking mechanism 30 is movably connected to the bracket 10 and can unlockably lock the rolling mechanism 20 in the second position, wherein the rehabilitation walker has a first state and a second state. In the first state, the rolling mechanism 20 is separated from the ground, and the bottom of the bracket 10 abuts the ground; in the second state, the rolling mechanism 20 abuts the ground, and the bottom of the bracket 10 is separated from the ground.
[0036] Through the above technical solution, under the action of the locking mechanism 30, the rolling mechanism 20 can switch back and forth between the first position and the second position, so that the rehabilitation walker has a first state of fixed support mode and a second state of rolling assistance mode. When the rehabilitation walker is in the first state, the rolling mechanism 20 is in the first position, that is, the rolling mechanism 20 is separated from the ground. At this time, the rehabilitation walker mainly relies on the bottom of the bracket 10 to provide support, so that patients in the early rehabilitation stage can obtain more stable rehabilitation exercises. When the rehabilitation walker is in the second state, the rolling mechanism 20 is in the second position, that is, the rolling mechanism 20 is in contact with the ground. At this time, the rehabilitation walker is easy to push, so that patients in the later recovery stage can obtain more mobility rehabilitation training. The rehabilitation walker provided by the present disclosure combines the two functions of fixed support and rolling assistance to meet the needs of patients in different rehabilitation stages, which can improve the safety and efficiency of the rehabilitation process.
[0037] The support 10 is the base structure and can be made of a lightweight but strong material to ensure the overall structural strength of the walker while reducing the overall weight of the walker. The support 10 can be made of aluminum alloy or carbon fiber, which is not limited in this disclosure.
[0038] As an implementation method, Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the bracket 10 may include a supporting frame 11 and four supporting rods 12, the rolling mechanism 20 includes two roller assemblies 21 arranged at the same horizontal interval, the locking mechanism 30 includes four locking members 31, the tops of the four supporting rods 12 are all connected to the supporting frame 11, the four supporting rods 12 are all provided with slide grooves 13, the four locking members 31 are respectively detachably connected to the four supporting rods 12, and there is a gap 14 between two adjacent support rods 12, the gap 14 is used to accommodate the corresponding roller assembly 21, each roller assembly 21 includes a mounting rod 211 and a plurality of rollers 212 mounted on the mounting rod 211, the two ends of the mounting rod 211 are respectively inserted into the two slide grooves 13, and the two ends of the mounting rod 211 can move longitudinally in the two slide grooves 13 and be limited by the corresponding locking members 31.
[0039] The support frame 11 is used to provide a grip and support area for the user, while the four support rods 12 form the four corners of the walker, providing stable support for the entire structure. The top of each support rod 12 is connected to the support frame 11 to form a stable frame.
[0040] Two roller assemblies 21 are located on both sides of the walker to provide balance and mobility.
[0041] Among them, four locking members 31 can be used to limit the position of the mounting rod 211 in the slide groove 13, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the roller assembly 21. In this way, the roller 212 mechanism can be prevented from moving during the use of the walker, which is beneficial to provide additional stability and safety for the patient.
[0042] To this end, the rehabilitation walker provided by the present disclosure takes functionality, safety, and ease of use into consideration, and is designed to provide effective assistance to patients in their movement during the rehabilitation process.
[0043] As an implementation method, Figures 1 to 3 When the locking cam 31 is unlocked, the locking cam 31 is unlocked so that the first end of the locking cam 31 is unlocked and the second end of the locking cam 31 is unlocked.
[0044] By rotating the operating part of the locking member 31, the position of the rolling mechanism 20 can be adjusted, thereby changing the working state of the rehabilitation walker. In the first position, the rehabilitation walker provides greater stability and is suitable for scenarios that require additional support, such as slopes; in the second position, the rehabilitation walker changes to a rolling-assisted state, which facilitates the user to move on flat ground. Through this ingenious mechanical design, the rehabilitation walker can better adapt to the needs of different rehabilitation stages and provide safety and convenience for patients. As an embodiment, Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the length of the mounting rod 211 is greater than the distance between the two locking members 31. Thus, when the rolling mechanism 20 is in the first position or the second position, both ends of the mounting rod 211 can be restrained by the locking members 31 within the first slot 131 or the second slot 132, thereby ensuring the stability of the roller assembly 21 during use and preventing shaking or derailment due to insufficient length of the mounting rod 211.
[0045] As an implementation method, Figures 1 to 2As shown, the rehabilitation walker also includes an anti-slip cover 40, the support frame 11 includes a connecting rod 111 and two support frame bodies 112 arranged opposite to each other, the connecting rod 111, the two support frame bodies 112 and the four support rods 12 jointly define an accommodating space 15, the accommodating space 15 is used to accommodate patients, each support frame body 112 includes a connected vertical rod segment 1121 and a horizontal rod segment 1122, the two ends of the connecting rod 111 are respectively connected to the two vertical rod segments 1121, the tops of the two adjacent support rods 12 are connected to the corresponding horizontal rod segments 1122, and the connecting rod 111 and the two horizontal rod segments 1122 are both provided with an anti-slip cover 40.
[0046] Among them, the connecting rod 111, the two support frame bodies 112 and the four support rods 12 jointly define a receiving space 15. The purpose of designing this space is to allow the patient to stand in it so that the patient can grasp the support frame 11. It is also beneficial to maintain the stability of the rehabilitation walker, especially when additional support is needed.
[0047] Among them, by sleeved on the connecting rod 111 and the two horizontal rod segments 1122 , the friction force when the patient grasps can be increased, thereby preventing the hand from slipping.
[0048] The anti-slip cover 40 may be made of a material with certain elasticity and anti-slip properties, such as rubber or soft plastic, to provide a good hand feel and gripping experience while reducing discomfort that may occur during long-term use.
[0049] Specifically, by providing a secure grip and anti-slip measures, the safety and comfort of patients during rehabilitation are greatly improved. The combination of the support frame 11 and the anti-slip sleeve 40 allows patients to firmly grasp the walker even in wet or sweaty hands, avoiding the risk of slipping and reducing hand fatigue.
[0050] As an implementation method, Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the rehabilitation walker also includes a rubber pad 50, and the bottom of the four support rods 12 is formed with a mounting portion 121, which is used to be detachably connected to the rubber pad 50, wherein the number of rubber pads 50 corresponds to the number of mounting portions 121.
[0051] The rubber pad 50 can, on the one hand, increase the friction between the walker and the ground, especially on smooth or wet ground, which can significantly improve the stability of the walker and reduce the risk of slipping. On the other hand, it can absorb the noise generated by the walker when it moves, reducing the impact on the surrounding environment, which is conducive to maintaining a quiet rehabilitation environment. At the same time, it can prevent the metal parts of the walker from directly contacting the ground, avoiding scratching or damaging the floor.
[0052] In addition, the rubber pad 50 and the mounting portion 121 at the bottom of the support rod 12 are connected in a detachable manner, such as a bolt connection. This arrangement allows the worn or damaged rubber pad 50 to be easily replaced without replacing the entire support rod 12, thereby reducing maintenance costs and helping to extend the service life of the walker.
[0053] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0054] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.
[0055] In addition, the various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
