[0015] The specific embodiment of the utility model is further explained in detail below in combination with the drawings.
[0016] Given by Figures 1 to 5 Two opposite inverted V type frames 1 are included, two opposite vertical rods 2 are fixed on the upper end of the inverted V type frame 1, a rectangular slot with the opening facing upwards is formed on the vertical rod 2, one inverted U type pole 3 is slidably connected in every two opposite rectangular slots, the upper end of the two inverted U type poles 3 is fixed with the supporting plate 4 in the left-right direction and the arc opening facing upwards, the right end of the supporting plate 4 is fixed with the handle 5, one connecting plate 6 is fixed on the right end of the two inverted V type frames 1, the seat plate 7 is connected with the left side of the connecting plate 6 through the front-rear axial damping pivot, the support leg 8 is hingedly connected on the left end of the seat plate 7, the restraint belt 9 is fixed on one vertical rod 2 on the left side, the free end of the restraint belt 9 passes behind one vertical rod 2 in the front-rear direction and is adhered with itself through the magic tape 10.
[0017] In order to position the inverted U-shaped rods 3 after sliding in the two square grooves for a certain height, square grooves 11 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of each two left and right opposite vertical rods 2, and a plurality of positioning grooves 12 distributed in the upward and downward directions are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the two inverted U-shaped rods 3, the horizontal rods 13 are slidably connected in the square grooves 11, and the two horizontal rods 13 can be relatively or oppositely moved.
[0018] In order to relatively or oppositely move each two left and right opposite horizontal rods 13, the opposite sides of each two left and right opposite horizontal rods 13 are respectively cylindrical and are provided with threaded grooves, the two left and right opposite threaded grooves are spirally opposite in direction, and the threaded sleeve 14 is threadedly connected between the two horizontal rods 13.
[0019] In order to prevent the horizontal rods 13 from being pulled out of the square grooves 11, the maximum distance of movement of the horizontal rods 13 is equal to the groove depth of the positioning grooves 12.
[0020] In order to stably support the seat plate 7, the baffle 15 is fixed to the right end of the seat plate 7, the free end of the baffle 15 can be in contact with the connecting plate 6, and the included angle between the unfolded supporting leg 8 and the seat plate 7 is obtuse.
[0021] In order to increase the comfort of the patient during use, the middle part of the seat plate 7 is inwardly concave arc-shaped on the front and rear sides, the upper surface of the supporting plate 4, the outer surface of the handle 5 and the upper surface of the seat plate 7 are respectively provided with soft pads.
[0022] In order to increase the stability of the device and better prevent the patient from falling to the side, the inverted V-shaped frame 1 is fixed with reinforcing rods on the lower side, the two reinforcing rods are respectively fixed with side supporting rods 16, and the distance between the upper ends of the two side supporting rods 16 is less than the distance between the lower ends.
[0023] In order to facilitate the patient to walk, the two free ends of the inverted V-shaped frame 1, the free ends of the side supporting frame are respectively rotatably connected with wheels, and the lower end of the supporting leg 8 is hingedly connected with a roller.
[0024] In use, the crossbar 13 is inserted into the uppermost positioning groove 12, and both the seat plate 7 and the support leg 8 are in the extended state. At this time, the right end of the baffle 15 is in contact with the connecting plate 6, the angle between the support leg 8 and the seat plate 7 is an obtuse angle, and the restraint strap 9 is in its initial state without being glued by the Velcro 10. When the patient needs to walk, the height of the entire device can be adjusted appropriately according to the patient's height. By rotating one threaded sleeve 14, the two horizontally opposite crossbars 13 will move relative to each other because the crossbar 13 is slidably connected to the square groove 11. Once the crossbar 13 is completely disengaged from the positioning groove 12, the threaded sleeve 14 can no longer rotate. Then, the inverted U-shaped rod 3 is moved upward, causing the support plate 4 to move upward. When the height of the support plate 4 is sufficient for the patient to stand with their arm flat on the support plate 4, the upward movement of the inverted U-shaped rod 3 is stopped. Finally, the threaded sleeve 14 is rotated in the opposite direction, and the crossbar 13 is inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 12, thus limiting the height of the support plate 4. Similarly, the height of the other inverted U-shaped rod 3 is adjusted according to the above operation to make the heights of the two support plates 4 the same.
[0025] The patient stands between two inverted V-shaped frames 1, with both arms placed on the support plates 4 and hands holding the handles 5. The seat plate 7 is located between the legs. The patient, family members, or medical staff can wrap the free end of the restraint strap 9 around another vertical bar 2 in the front-back direction and then attach it to itself via Velcro 10. The patient can then push the device to walk. The two support plates 4 support the patient's arms, raise the patient's center of gravity, support the patient's entire body, and increase the stability of the patient when walking.
[0026] If a patient experiences weakness in their legs and has to kneel or squat while walking, the patient can sit on the seat board. The supporting leg, the baffle 15, and the seat board 7 will support the patient's body. The restraint strap 9 can prevent the patient's upper body from tilting backward. The side support bar 16 is set to increase the resistance when the patient tilts to the side and reduce the risk of the patient falling.
[0027] If the patient does not need the seat plate 7, the seat plate 7 can be swung upwards around the damping pivot to a vertical position, and the baffle 15 will also rotate accordingly. Then, the outrigger 8 can be swung towards the seat plate 7, and under the action of gravity, the outrigger 8 will swing to a vertical position, thus folding the seat plate 7 and the outrigger 8.
[0028] The damping shaft in this invention is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The effect achieved is that the seat plate 7 will not swing unexpectedly when no external force is applied to it, and the seat plate 7 can be folded.
