Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0026] like Figure 1-3As shown, the present invention proposes a fall prevention device for the elderly for community services, including a U-shaped rod 1 and a support rod 2 inserted into the lower end of the U-shaped rod 1. An installation ring 3 is rotatably connected to the outside of the support rod 2, and a stabilizing rod 4 is fixedly connected to the outside of the installation ring 3. A threaded rod 8 with one end penetrating through and extending into the inside of the support rod 2 is rotatably connected to the installation ring 3. A set of gripping rods 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the U-shaped rod 1.
[0027] There are two support rods 2, and the two support rods 2 are symmetrically inserted into the lower end of the U-shaped rod 1. An adjusting member 7 for adjusting the U-shaped rod 1 is provided between the two support rods 2. Support members 5 are provided at the lower ends of both the support rods 2 and the stabilizing rod 4.
[0028] In this utility model, the height of the U-shaped rod 1 can be easily adjusted by the user or assistant through the adjusting part 7 on the support rod 2, while the support part 5 located on the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4 makes it easier for the user to use without exerting effort, thereby improving the ease of use.
[0029] It should be noted that each support rod 2 has two threaded grooves on the outer surface of its upper end, and the threaded grooves are compatible with the threads on the outer side of the threaded rod 8. The two threaded grooves are distributed in the positions corresponding to the 90-degree rotation of the mounting ring 3. By rotating the threaded rod 8 into the threaded groove, the stabilizing rod 4 on the mounting ring 3 can be supported and limited. At the same time, after limiting the stabilizing rod 4 rotated to the inner side of the support rod 2, the entire device can be folded and stored.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, the support member 5 includes a movable ring 51 slidably connected to the lower ends of the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4. A connecting rod 52 is fixedly connected to the movable ring 51, and a movable wheel 53 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 52. A return spring 54 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable ring 51.
[0031] In this embodiment, a set of stabilizing rods 4 on the support rod 2 increases the support position of the support rod 2, making it more stable when the user holds the grip rod 6 for leverage. The movable ring 51 and the moving wheel 53 located at the lower end of the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4 allow the user to press the grip rod 6 to squeeze the lower end of the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4 against the ground when pressing it. After releasing, the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4 can be raised by the return spring 54, making the entire device more labor-saving during use.
[0032] It should be noted that the lower ends of both the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4 are T-shaped, and the movable ring 51 is slidably connected to the T-shaped ends of the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4. Anti-slip rubber pads are fixedly connected to the lower surfaces of the T-shaped ends of the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4. The anti-slip rubber pads at the lower ends of the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4 increase the friction when they contact the ground, thereby increasing the stability of the support rod 2 and the stabilizing rod 4 in contact with the ground.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, the adjusting member 7 includes a sleeve 71 fixedly connected between two support rods 2. A pull rod 72 with one end penetrating through and extending into the interior of the U-shaped rod 1 is slidably connected to the inner side of the sleeve 71. A connecting ring 75 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the pull rod 72. A support ring 73 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the sleeve 71. A connecting spring 74 is fixedly connected between the support ring 73 and the connecting ring 75.
[0034] In this embodiment, after pulling the lever 72 to separate from the U-shaped rod 1, the U-shaped rod 1 can be pulled up along the top of the support rod 2 to make it easier for elderly people of different heights to hold the handle 6, thereby improving the convenience of using the entire device. After the threaded rod 8 limits the stabilizing rod 4 that rotates to the inside of the support rod 2, the entire device can be folded and stored to increase the convenience of storage.
[0035] It should be noted that the end of the pull rod 72 away from the support rod 2 is L-shaped, and its L end passes through the sleeve 71. The inner wall of the sleeve 71 has a through hole for the L end of the pull rod 72 to slide.
[0036] The upper end of the support rod 2 is provided with a cylindrical groove for the U-shaped rod 1 to be inserted into the groove of the support rod 2. The outer surface of the upper end of the grip rod 6 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip rubber sleeve to increase the friction of the grip rod 6 for the user.
[0037] The working principle in the above embodiments is as follows:
[0038] When using the device, the elderly can stand between the two stabilizing rods 4 and hold the handles 6 to assist in walking. When they need to gain leverage while walking, they can press the handles 6. At the same time, pressing the handles 6 can squeeze the lower ends of the support rods 2 and the stabilizing rods 4 to the ground, thus restricting the movement of the moving wheels 53. After the pressure on the handles 6 is removed, the support rods 2 and the stabilizing rods 4 can rise again through the return springs 54, allowing the moving wheels 53 on the connecting rods 52 to support the entire device. This makes it convenient for the user to push the entire device, making the device more effortless to use. The stabilizing rods 4 located on a set of support rods 2 can increase the support position of the support rods 2, making it more stable when the user holds the handles 6 for leverage.
[0039] Since the U-shaped rod 1 is inserted into the support rod 2 and can be limited by the pull rod 72 inside the sleeve 71, after the assistant or user pulls the pull rod 72 to separate from the U-shaped rod 1, the U-shaped rod 1 can be pulled up along the top of the support rod 2. After the U-shaped rod 1 is raised, the pull rod 72 is released and reset by the connecting spring 74, and then re-inserted into the corresponding limiting slot. After the U-shaped rod 1 is limited, it is convenient for elderly people of different heights to hold the handle 6, thereby improving the convenience of using the entire device. After the threaded rod 8 limits the stabilizing rod 4 that rotates to the inside of the support rod 2, the entire device can be folded and stored to increase the convenience of storage.
[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
