[0002] Orthopedic patients often need to use walking aids to assist walking after surgery. A walking aid is an assistive tool to help people with walking difficulties. It can provide stable support and balance, reduce pressure and fatigue when walking. The principle of a walking aid is to help people with walking difficulties walk by providing stable support and balance control.

[0003] Traditional walking aids are mostly fixed in structure and cannot be adjusted, which makes it impossible to effectively guarantee the comfort of different users and meet the needs of some users. Later, in order to accommodate users of different heights, height-adjustable walking aids were developed. However, the adjustment process is cumbersome, requiring multiple tightening of multiple bolts, which is time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, the width of the walking aid cannot be adjusted, making it difficult for some overweight patients to use.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example

[0020] Please refer to the following: Figure 1-3 This utility model discloses an adjustable walking aid for orthopedic rehabilitation, comprising a support base frame 1, with an anti-slip block 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of each support base frame 1, an extension rod 2 slidably connected to the top of each support base frame 1, a handrail frame 4 fixedly connected to the top of each extension rod 2, a central frame 3 between two handrail frames 4, a fixed plate 5 and an adjusting plate 6 fixedly connected to one side of each of the two support base frames 1 respectively, the adjusting plate 6 being slidably connected to the fixed plate 5, each handrail frame 4 being slidably connected to the central frame 3, a horizontal plate 8 fixedly connected between two adjacent support base frames 1, connecting rods 9 slidably connected to both sides of the horizontal plate 8, a caster wheel 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of each connecting rod 9, a spring 11 fixedly connected between each caster wheel 10 and the horizontal plate 8, and each spring 11 being sleeved on the corresponding connecting rod 9.

[0021] Each of the support base frames 1 is equipped with an electric telescopic rod 16 at the bottom of its inner wall. Each electric telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the corresponding support base frame 1. Each electric telescopic rod 16 is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 17 at its output end. Each connecting plate 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding support base frame 1. The bottom end of each extension rod 2 passes through the corresponding support base frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting plate 17.

[0022] The adjusting plate 6 passes through the fixed plate 5 and is fixedly connected to the transmission plate 15. The transmission plate 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 5. The servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the inner wall of the fixed plate 5. The output end of the servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to the screw 14. The screw 14 passes through the transmission plate 15 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 5. The screw 14 is threadedly connected to the transmission plate 15.

[0023] The central frame 3 is equipped with an operation panel 7 on its top. The operation panel 7 is fixedly connected to the central frame 3 and is electrically connected to the electric telescopic rod 16 and the servo motor 13.

[0024] Specifically, in use, this utility model allows for operation via the control panel 7 according to user needs. The servo motor 13 drives the screw 14 to rotate, which in turn causes the transmission plate 15 to move the adjusting plate 6, thus adjusting the width of the equipment. The electric telescopic rod 16 raises and lowers the connecting plate 7 and its extension rod 2, thereby adjusting the height of the handrail frame 4. This effectively meets the needs of different users and improves the flexibility and convenience of equipment use. Furthermore, with the spring 11 and connecting rod 9, when the user lightly touches the equipment without applying pressure, the universal wheels 10 touch the ground under the push of the spring 14, allowing for quick movement of the equipment. When the user is tired and needs to rest, pressing down on the equipment applies pressure. Under the transmission action, the support base 1 lowers the horizontal plate 8, squeezing the spring 11 and causing the anti-slip block 12 to contact the ground, effectively ensuring the stability of the equipment.

[0025] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
