[0062] See also Figure 1-3 Specifically, in the embodiment of the double-arm support walker, the double-arm support walker provided by the present application specifically includes:

[0063] A first walker 1, a second walker 2, a folding assembly 3, a first grip assembly 4, a second grip assembly 5, a first support rod 6 and a second support rod 7; the first walker 1 and the second walker 2 are arranged side by side, and the folding assembly 3 is movably connected between the first walker 1 and the second walker 2, one end of the first support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the first walker 1, and the other end of the first support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the first grip assembly 4, one end of the second support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the second walker 2, and the other end of the second support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the second grip assembly 5, wherein the first walker 1 and the second walker 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the folding assembly 3.

[0064] Specifically, an embodiment of the present invention provides a dual-arm support walker, comprising a first walker frame 1, a second walker frame 2, a folding assembly 3, a first grip assembly 4, a second grip assembly 5, a first support rod 6, and a second support rod 7. The first walker frame 1 and the second walker frame 2 are arranged side by side and spaced apart. The folding assembly 3 is movably connected between the first walker frame 1 and the second walker frame 2. One end of the first support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the first walker frame 1, and the other end of the first support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the first grip assembly 4. One end of the second support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the second walker frame 2, and the other end of the second support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the second grip assembly 5. The first walker frame 1 and the second walker frame 2 are symmetrically distributed on either side of the folding assembly 3. When the folding assembly 3 is unfolded, a preset distance separates the first walker frame 1 and the second grip assembly 4 and the second grip assembly 5 are respectively grasped by the user's hands to assist walking. When the folding assembly 3 is folded, the first walker frame 1 and the second walker frame 2 are adjacent to each other, thereby reducing the space occupied by the walker. The double-arm support walker provided in the embodiment of the present application has a simple structure and is convenient to fold and store.

[0065] Wherein, the first auxiliary shape frame and the second auxiliary shape frame both have an inverted U-shaped structure.

[0066] In a possible embodiment, the folding assembly 3 includes a first connecting rod 31, a second connecting rod 32, a limiting rod 33 and a limiting column 34, one end of the first connecting rod 31 is rotatably connected to the top inner edge of the first walking frame 1; one end of the second connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the top inner edge of the second walking frame 2, and the other end of the second connecting rod 32 is rotatably connected to the other end of the first connecting rod 31; the limiting rod 33 is movably arranged at the other end of the second connecting rod 32, and one end of the limiting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the second connecting rod 32; the limiting column 34 4 is provided with a limiting groove 341, one end of the limiting column 34 is fixed to the other end of the first connecting rod 31, and the limiting groove 341 is used to limit the limiting rod 33; wherein, when the folding assembly 3 is unfolded, a right angle is formed between the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32, and the other end of the limiting rod 33 rotates around one end of the limiting rod 33 to enter the limiting groove 341; when the folding assembly 3 is folded, one end of the first connecting rod 31 is close to one end of the second connecting rod 32, and a preset acute angle is formed between the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32.

[0067] Specifically, when the folding assembly 3 is unfolded, the angle between the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 is 180°. At this time, the limiting rod 33 can be rotated into the limiting groove 341 of the limiting post 34, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the limiting rod 33 and the limiting post 34, thereby limiting the rotation between the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32. A groove can be provided on the inner wall of the limiting groove 341, and a protrusion can be provided on the limiting rod 33. When the limiting rod 33 is rotated into the limiting groove 341 of the limiting post 34, the protrusion engages with the groove, thereby preventing the limiting rod 33 from being accidentally touched during use, causing displacement of the limiting rod 33 and unnecessary folding.

[0068] To further enhance the positional retention of the folding assembly 3, a stopper can be provided at the pivotal connection between the first connecting rod 31 and the top inner edge of the first walker 1, and a stopper can be provided at the pivotal connection between the second connecting rod 32 and the top inner edge of the second walker 2, to enhance the positional retention of the folding assembly 3 when unfolded. The stopper can be a stopper pin, i.e., corresponding pin holes are provided on the first connecting rod 31 and the first walker 1. When the stopper pin is inserted into the pin hole, the rotational retention between the first connecting rod 31 and the first walker 1 is achieved.

[0069] In a possible embodiment, the first gripping assembly 4 includes a first transverse supporting member 41, a first grip rod 42 and a first arm support 43, the first transverse supporting member 41 is fixed to the end of the other end of the first support rod 6; a sponge grip 8 is provided at one end of the first grip rod 42, and the other end of the first grip rod 42 is fixedly connected to the first transverse supporting member 41; the first arm support 43 is fixed to the top of the first transverse supporting member 41.

[0070] Furthermore, the second gripping assembly 5 includes a second transverse supporting member 51, a second grip rod 52 and a second arm support 53. The second transverse supporting member 51 is fixed to the end of the other end of the second support rod 7; a sponge handle 8 is provided at one end of the second grip rod 52, and the other end of the second grip rod 52 is fixedly connected to the second transverse supporting member 51; the second arm support 53 is fixed to the top of the second transverse supporting member 51.

[0071] Specifically, by setting a transverse supporting member, a grip rod and an arm support, the arm support has a certain thickness and is made of a soft elastic material with a certain support, so that when the user's hand holds the sponge grip 8 at the top of the grip rod, the user's forearm is placed on the arm support to improve the user's comfort. The arm support can be set as follows: Figure 1-2 The shape shown has a downward depression in the middle portion to form a supporting area. When the user is in use, the user's forearm extends into the supporting area, which facilitates supporting the user's forearm and limits the user's forearm to prevent the user's forearm from shifting laterally when exerting force and causing the user to fall.

[0072] In a possible embodiment, the first support rod 6 and the second support rod 7 are both telescopic rods. By setting the first support rod 6 and the second support rod 7 as telescopic rods, the use needs of users of different heights and age groups can be adapted.

[0073] In one possible embodiment, an infrared sensor is provided on the inner sidewall of the first connecting rod 31 or the second connecting rod 32, with the inner sidewall of the second connecting rod 32 being closer to the user's side. The infrared sensor can then be used to obtain the user's posture during use, thereby determining whether the user has fallen.

[0074] In one possible embodiment, the dual-arm support walker further includes a three-dimensional force sensor, which is provided on the sponge grip 8. By providing the three-dimensional force sensor on the sponge grip 8, the user's grip force can be monitored through the three-dimensional force sensor, thereby understanding the user's usage.

[0075] In one possible embodiment, the dual-arm support walker further includes a battery disposed within the first connecting rod 31. The battery is electrically connected to the three-dimensional force sensor and the infrared sensor, respectively, to power the three-dimensional force sensor and the infrared sensor. The battery in the present application can be a rechargeable battery, and the battery can be charged by providing a corresponding charging port.

[0076] In one possible embodiment, the dual-arm support walker further includes a start switch, which is disposed on the first connecting rod 31 and is electrically connected to the battery. It is understood that the start switch serves as the master switch for the dual-arm support walker of this application, and is used to power the sensor provided by the battery to facilitate monitoring of the user's use.

[0077] In one possible embodiment, the dual-arm support walker further includes a buzzer, which is disposed adjacent to and electrically connected to the battery so as to be powered by the battery. When the three-dimensional force sensor fails to detect grip force within a preset time period and the infrared sensor simultaneously detects an abnormal posture of the user, the buzzer can sound an alarm.

[0078] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for understanding and reading by those familiar with this technology, and are not used to limit the conditions for implementation of the present invention.
