[0002] Walking aids, as devices that assist with walking, play an important role in medical rehabilitation, daily living assistance for the elderly, and daily walking for people with limb disabilities. However, most existing walking aids are relatively simple in design and have limited functions, especially in terms of portability and storage.

[0003] Specifically, most traditional walking aids lack folding functionality, are relatively large and heavy, making them inconvenient for users to store and carry when not in use. This not only limits the usage scenarios of the walking aids but also increases the burden on users during carrying and storage. Especially for the elderly or users with mobility impairments, this inconvenience can further impact their quality of life. Utility Model Content

[0004] (I) Purpose of the utility model

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a walking aid with a folding function, which solves the problems mentioned in the background above.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] A walking aid with a folding function includes a first bracket and a second bracket. Support rods are fixedly installed at the top of both the first and second brackets, and a connecting plate is connected to one side of each support rod. Two sets of first connecting blocks are fixedly installed on the outer surface of one end of the connecting plate, and a second connecting block is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the other end of the connecting plate. A first folding rod is movably connected to one end of each of the two sets of first connecting blocks, and a second folding rod is movably connected to one end of each of the two sets of first folding rods. The two sets of first and second folding rods intersect with another set of two sets of first and second folding rods. Two sets of connecting rods are fixedly installed on one side of the top of the connecting plate, and a limit ring is connected to one end of each set of connecting rods. A shaft is movably installed on the inner wall of the limit ring, and a seat cushion is connected to the outer surface of the middle end of the shaft.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the seat cushion is connected to multiple sets of connecting rings, and the multiple sets of connecting rings are staggered. The outer surfaces of the multiple sets of connecting rings are movably engaged with locking plates. A screw passes through the locking plates and the multiple sets of connecting rings, and one end of the screw is connected to a nut.

[0009] Preferably, the outer surface of the seat cushion has multiple sets of heat dissipation holes.

[0010] Preferably, a storage tube is fixedly installed on one outer surface of the support rod.

[0011] Preferably, a magnetic hole is formed on one side of the outer surface of the first bracket.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing ring is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the second bracket, and a magnetic pin is movably installed on the inner wall of the fixing ring. A groove is formed on the outer surface of the magnetic pin, a spring is installed in the groove, and one end of the spring is connected to a telescopic pin, which passes through the outer surface of the fixing ring.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the magnetic pin is connected to a limiting plate, and a handle is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the limiting plate.

[0014] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model can easily release the locking plate and the connecting ring by simply rotating the nut, allowing the two sets of seat cushions to come into contact with each other, which greatly facilitates the subsequent folding operation. Furthermore, by pushing or pulling the first and second brackets, the two sets of first and second folding rods will fold in a staggered manner according to the predetermined activity pattern, which improves the folding efficiency and makes it easier for people to carry and store.

[0016] 2. This utility model achieves a stable connection between the first and second supports through a magnetic pin and magnetic hole locking mechanism. The user only needs to press the telescopic pin to release the magnetic pin's locking state, and then gently push the magnetic pin to make it tightly adhere to the magnetic hole on the first support. This not only simplifies the fixing steps after folding, but also ensures that the walker remains stable and compact in the folded state. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following description is exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the scope, application, or use of this disclosure. It should be understood that in all these figures, the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar parts and features. The figures are merely schematic representations of the concept and principles of embodiments of this disclosure and do not necessarily show the specific dimensions and scale of the various embodiments of this disclosure. Certain details or structures of embodiments of this disclosure may be exaggerated in particular portions of certain figures.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 One embodiment provided by this utility model:

[0026] A walking aid with a folding function includes a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2. Support rods 3 are fixedly installed at the top of both the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. A connecting plate 4 is connected to one side of each support rod 3. Two sets of first connecting blocks 8 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of one end of the connecting plate 4, and a second connecting block 812 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the other end of the connecting plate 4. A first folding rod 811 is movably connected to one end of each set of first connecting blocks 8, and a second folding rod 813 is movably connected to one end of each set of first folding rods 811. The two sets of first folding rods 811 and second folding rods 813 intersect with another set of two sets of first folding rods 811 and second folding rods 813. Two sets of connecting rods 711 are fixedly installed on one side of the top of the connecting plate 4, and a limiting ring 712 is connected to one end of each set of connecting rods 711. A shaft 713 is movably installed on the inner wall of the limiting ring 712, and a seat cushion 5 is connected to the outer surface of the middle end of the shaft 713.

[0027] Furthermore, one end of the seat cushion 5 is connected to multiple sets of connecting rings 511, which are staggered from each other. The outer surfaces of the multiple sets of connecting rings 511 are movably engaged with locking pieces 7. A screw 9 passes through between the locking pieces 7 and the multiple sets of connecting rings 511, and one end of the screw 9 is connected to a nut. Through the multiple sets of staggered connecting rings 511 and locking pieces 7, in conjunction with the screw 9 and nut, the seat cushion 5 can be flexibly locked and unlocked.

[0028] Furthermore, the outer surface of the seat cushion 5 has multiple sets of heat dissipation holes 6. These holes help improve breathability, reduce stuffiness during prolonged use, and enhance user comfort.

[0029] Furthermore, a storage tube 311 is fixedly installed on one outer surface of the support rod 3. The storage tube 311 provides users with convenient storage space and can hold small items such as water cups and keys.

[0030] Furthermore, a magnetic hole 111 is provided on one outer surface of the first bracket 1. The magnetic hole 111 on the first bracket 1 and the magnetic pin 211 on the second bracket 2 cooperate with each other, so that the walking aid can be firmly connected together when folded, avoiding looseness and instability after folding.

[0031] Furthermore, a fixing ring 212 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the second bracket 2, and a magnetic pin 211 is movably installed on the inner wall of the fixing ring 212. The outer surface of the magnetic pin 211 is provided with a groove, in which a spring is installed. One end of the spring is connected to a telescopic pin 213. The telescopic pin 213 passes through the outer surface of the fixing ring 212. The combination of the telescopic pin 213 and the spring allows the magnetic pin 211 to be quickly locked or unlocked when needed.

[0032] Furthermore, one end of the magnetic pin 211 is connected to a limiting plate 214, and a handle 215 is fixedly installed on one outer surface of the limiting plate 214. The limiting plate 214 prevents the magnetic pin 211 from disengaging from the fixing ring 212, while the handle 215 facilitates the user's operation of the magnetic pin 211.

[0033] Working principle: When the walker needs to be folded and stored, firstly, rotate the nut on the screw 9 until the nut is completely loosened, and then disassemble the screw 9 from the locking plate 7 and the multiple sets of connecting rings 511. This operation releases the engagement between the locking plate 7 and the connecting rings 511, thereby allowing the two sets of seat cushions 5 to come into contact with each other for subsequent folding operations.

[0034] Next, the user needs to adjust the position of the seat cushion 5. By rotating the shaft 713, the seat cushion 5 can rotate along the axis of the shaft 713 until the seat cushion 5 flips upward and is close to the top of the connecting rod 711 or the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. In this way, the seat cushion 5 will not cause interference or obstruction during the folding process.

[0035] Then, the user can begin folding the main body of the walker. By pushing or pulling the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, the two sets of first folding rods 811 and second folding rods 813 will fold in a staggered manner according to a predetermined action.

[0036] When the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are folded close enough, the user needs to fix their relative positions. At this point, the locking state of the magnetic pin 211 can be released by pressing the telescopic pin 213. With the magnetic pin 211 unlocked, it can be pushed to attract it to the magnetic hole 111 on the first bracket 1. This attraction firmly connects the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, ensuring the walker remains stable and compact in the folded state.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
