Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electric walking aids, in particular to an automatic sit-to-stand conversion mechanism applied to a walking aid device. Background Art
[0002] With the development of society and the increasing aging of the population, the number of people with mobility difficulties is gradually increasing. For those who need walking assistance but have difficulty maintaining a standing or walking posture for a long time, there is often a lack of automatic sit-to-stand function. When users feel tired, they need to find a suitable seat to rest, which not only brings inconvenience to users but also limits their range of motion and independence. The use of walking aids is mainly a method of treating lower limb movement disorders. It can not only help postoperative patients support their weak bodies to walk, but also facilitate patients' independent movement. The use of electric walking aids allows patients to engage in outdoor activities on their own, promotes early recovery, and prevents the occurrence of postoperative complications. When tired, they can sit down and improve the lifestyle of people with leg problems. It is an indispensable medical product for improving the quality of life.
[0003] The patent document with publication number CN114681272B in the prior art provides a new type of lower limb exoskeleton robot knee joint sit-to-stand posture transformation mechanism, which includes a pair of lower limb exoskeleton bodies and a knee joint transformation component arranged in the lower limb exoskeleton bodies, the lower limb exoskeleton bodies include a thigh rod and a calf rod movably connected to the thigh rod, and a knee joint transformation component is arranged between the thigh rod and the calf rod; the knee joint transformation component includes a standing posture locking structure, a sitting posture transformation structure and a motor push rod structure, the motor push rod structure is fixedly arranged on the calf rod, the motor push rod structure is provided with a standing posture locking structure, and the sitting posture transformation structure is movably arranged on the thigh rod.
[0004] Although the conversion mechanism has many beneficial effects, the following problems still exist: the mechanism has a single function, and most of them are manual or electric walkers. When the patient is tired of standing or sitting, it is not convenient and smooth to change postures. Ordinary walkers can usually be pushed by caregivers or walk automatically. For example, the elderly or patients who use walkers usually have weakened lower limb muscle strength, and it is difficult to adjust the body posture and stand up; therefore, the transfer process is not convenient, and the walker can only be used in a sitting posture. When it changes to a standing posture, it needs someone to assist, which is very inconvenient. In addition, people of different weights and sizes will be encountered during use, but the mechanism is fixed, which is not convenient to adjust and has low flexibility. Utility Model Content
