[0027] The following is a detailed description of a walking assistance device provided by this utility model, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments; those skilled in the art can also use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; and the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a walking assistance device, including a walking aid 1, and further comprising:

[0029] The folding assembly 4 has two horizontal bars 2 fixed to the side of the walker 1, and a vertical bar 3 fixed to the end of the horizontal bar 2. The folding assembly 4 includes a left movable plate 5 and a right movable plate 6 that are rotatably connected to the two horizontal bars 2 respectively. Both the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 have notches 7 on their sides. A circular sleeve 10 is fixedly fitted on the circumferential surface of the horizontal bar 2. The circular sleeve 10 is located inside the notch 7 and is used to prevent the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 from axially displacing on the horizontal bar 2. A support bar 9 is rotatably connected inside the notch 7. There are two notches 7 on the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6. When resting, each left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 is supported by two support bars 9, which can achieve stable support for the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6. A positioning plate 11 is fixed to the bottom of the circular sleeve 10. A sponge pad 19 is fixed to the opposite side of the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6. An inclined surface 8 is provided on the inner wall of the notch 7.

[0030] When walking, the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 are in an upright position. When resting, the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 are rotated downwards, and the support bar 9 rotates downwards simultaneously and comes into contact with the inclined surface 8 during the rotation. When the end of the support bar 9 abuts against the side of the positioning plate 11, the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 are positioned. Through this structural design, the transition from walking to resting can be easily achieved, providing the elderly with comfortable and convenient resting conditions. Moreover, the support structure is stable, ensuring the safety of the elderly when resting.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, a movable block 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the notch 7, and a positioning block 14 is fixed to the side of the movable block 13. An arc-shaped groove 15 is provided on the outer wall of the circular sleeve 10. The positioning block 14 is rotatably connected in the arc-shaped groove 15. When the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 rotate, the positioning block 14 is driven to rotate along the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 15 through the movable block 13. This structure can precisely control the rotation angle and position of the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6, so that the device can remain stable in different states, improve the overall practicality and safety, and ensure the smoothness and reliability when switching between walking and resting states.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning surface 16 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 15, and a snap-fit ​​surface 17 is provided on the other side of the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 15. When walking, the positioning block 14 is in contact with the positioning surface 16. The angle between the side of the left movable plate 5 away from the right movable plate 6 and the horizontal plane where the axis of the crossbar 2 is located is less than 90 degrees, and the angle between the side of the right movable plate 6 away from the left movable plate 5 and the horizontal plane where the axis of the crossbar 2 is located is less than 90 degrees. When resting, the positioning block 14 is in contact with the snap-fit ​​surface 17. Through the contact between the positioning surface 16 and the positioning block 14, precise positioning is achieved. The angles of the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 during walking are limited to ensure that they form an angle of less than 90 degrees with the corresponding crossbar 2. This ensures that the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 remain open, making it easier for the elderly to walk with the assistance of the walking aid 1. It also effectively prevents the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 from interfering with or hindering the elderly's walking due to random rotation. When resting, the positioning block 14 and the snap-fit ​​surface 17 are in contact, so that the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 can be stably kept in a horizontal position, providing reliable support for the elderly.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, a magnet block 18 is embedded in the positioning surface 16, and the positioning block 14 is attached to the magnet block 18. The positioning block 14 is a metal iron block. By utilizing the magnetic attraction force, the stability of the attachment between the positioning block 14 and the positioning surface 16 is further enhanced, effectively preventing the positioning block 14 from detaching from the positioning surface 16 due to external forces or other factors during walking. This ensures that the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 will not rotate arbitrarily, thus improving the safety of the walker 1 during walking.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 12 is fixed to the side of the positioning plate 11. The reinforcing rib 12 is fixed to the bottom of the circular sleeve 10. The reinforcing rib 12 can significantly enhance the structural strength of the positioning plate 11. When the support bar 9 and the positioning plate 11 cooperate to support the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6, the positioning plate 11 can better withstand the pressure, prevent the positioning plate 11 from deforming or being damaged, thereby extending the service life of the device and ensuring the safety and reliability of the elderly when resting.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, ribs 20 are fixed on the opposite surfaces of the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6. The ribs 20 are used to improve the structural strength of the corresponding inclined surfaces 8 on the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6, and to prevent deformation of the corresponding inclined surfaces 8 on the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6, thereby ensuring the stable positioning of the inclined surfaces 8 on the support strip 9.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the surface of the sponge pad 19 is covered with leather (not shown in the figure). The leather-covered sponge pad 19 not only provides the elderly with a soft and comfortable sitting experience and reduces body pressure, but also has good wear resistance and easy cleaning properties, making it convenient for daily maintenance and hygiene, so that the elderly can have a better experience when resting.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the support bar 9 is rotatably connected to the notch 7 via a pivot. The pivot connection allows the support bar 9 to rotate flexibly. During the rotation of the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6, the support bar 9 can smoothly fit with the inclined surface 8 and cooperate with the positioning plate 11 to achieve positioning, ensuring the smoothness and reliability of the entire folding assembly 4 and improving the ease of use and stability of the device.

[0038] Working principle: When using the walking aid 1, the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 are in an upright state. At this time, the positioning block 14 on the movable block 13 is in contact with the positioning surface 16 in the arc groove 15 on the outer wall of the circular sleeve 10. Since the positioning surface 16 is inlaid with a magnet 18, the positioning block 14 is magnetically attracted and positioned, so that the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 form an angle of less than 90 degrees with the corresponding crossbar 2. This ensures that the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 remain open, making it easier for the elderly to walk with the assistance of the walking aid 1, and effectively preventing the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 from rotating randomly and affecting walking.

[0039] When the elderly feel tired and need to rest while walking, they can rotate the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 downwards. The left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 rotate downwards around the corresponding crossbar 2 as the axis. At the same time, the support bar 9 connected by the pivot in the notch 7 rotates downwards in sync and fits against the inclined surface 8 of the inner wall of the notch 7 during the rotation. When the end of the support bar 9 abuts against the side of the positioning plate 11, the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 are positioned. At this time, the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 rotate to a horizontal state. The cooperation between the support bar 9 and the positioning plate 11 provides stable support, and the elderly can sit on the sponge pad 19 of the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 to rest.

[0040] After resting, rotate the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 upwards so that the left movable plate 5 and the right movable plate 6 drive the positioning block 14 to fit against the positioning surface 16 of the inner wall of the arc groove 15 through the corresponding movable block 13.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
