Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of upright walking control devices for disabled persons, and in particular to an upright walking control device for disabled persons. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most walking aids for people with lower limb disabilities are wheelchairs or walking frames. These require manual operation during use, meaning they rely on both hands for control and cannot be freed, making it difficult to meet basic daily living needs.

[0003] For example, patent CN108272604A discloses a novel powered walking aid for assisting disabled and elderly people with lower limb disabilities to stand and walk. It includes handrails, a backrest, a seat cushion, left and right side pedals, a battery, and a drive unit. The lower part of the backrest is fixedly connected to the pedals. A storage box is located below the height-adjustable seat cushion, and the seat cushion and backrest are raised and lowered via a ball screw. Each side pedal has a drive wheel and a walking wheel underneath, and the pedals are retractable. The front of each handrail is equipped with a standing handle, a sitting handle, and a brake. When the user stands between the left and right pedals and holds the handrails to move forward, or sits on the seat and places both feet on the left and right pedals to move forward, only the right-hand standing or sitting handle is used to control the walking aid. The manual control mechanism includes forward and reverse rotation speed adjustment and left and right steering. Both hands are required for operation, preventing the user from using their hands for other tasks.

[0004] For example, patent CN201290855Y discloses a walking aid to help disabled people walk, particularly a walking aid that helps disabled people stand and walk upright. The walking aid has a portal frame-type support with two upright posts. The upper crossbeam of the portal frame-type support exceeds the height of the user's body when standing upright. There is a rope that can be pulled up and down on the upper crossbeam of the portal frame-type support. One end of the rope is connected to a safety belt or similar item that can be tied to the user's body. There are four rolling wheels under the portal frame-type support. During walking, the user needs to push the device with their hands, and their hands cannot be freed to do other things. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of existing technology, this utility model provides a control device for upright walking of disabled persons, so as to help disabled persons walk upright while freeing their hands.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] The device for controlling upright walking for disabled persons includes a base, a set of walking wheels, and a support frame. The walking wheels are mounted on the base, and the support frame is mounted on the rear of the base. It also includes a waist positioning structure, a controller for controlling the operation of the walking wheels, and a rocker controller mounted on the waist positioning structure for sensing the position of the human shoulder. The waist positioning structure is mounted on the support frame, and the rocker controller and the walking wheels are electrically connected to the controller.

[0008] Further:

[0009] The base is equipped with a lifting seat for raising the human hips.

[0010] The set of wheels can be two wheels or four wheels.

[0011] The waist positioning structure includes a waist swing frame and a waist fixing part provided on the waist swing frame for fixing the waist of the human body. The top of the waist swing frame and the support frame are connected.

[0012] The support frame is a vertical rod structure, and the lower end of the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the rear of the base.

[0013] The top of the joystick controller is provided with a back fixation part for fitting against the human shoulder.

[0014] The waist fixing part is a fixing frame with an opening at the front, and a fixing strap is provided on the fixing frame at the opening.

[0015] The waist swing frame is hinged to the top of the support frame via a pin, and the side of the waist fixing part is hinged to the open end of the waist swing frame via a movable shaft.

[0016] A position sensor is provided at the opening end of the waist swing frame, and the position sensor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] This invention provides a device for people with lower limb disabilities that does not rely on hand control, enabling them to drive electric wheelchairs, various mobility scooters, and assistive tools more easily and efficiently. The biggest feature of this control device is that it helps disabled people walk upright while freeing their hands, making their upper body more relaxed and free, and allowing their hands to move freely, thus meeting their needs for self-care and simple labor.
