A first locking element 8 and a second locking element 9 are respectively mounted on the two rotating plates 7. A locking member 8 and a second locking member 9 are used to engage after passing through the insertion hole 6 to lock the rotating plate 7 and the tablecloth 5 together; the lower part of the left frame 1 and the right frame 2 are provided with insertion slots 10, and the bottom of the right frame 2 and one of the frames is provided with a receiving slot. A coil spring 12 is provided in the receiving slot. The coil spring 12 is connected to an elastic band 13. An insertion member 14 is fixed to the end of the elastic band 13. An insertion block that engages with the insertion slot 10 and an operating sleeve 21 for convenient operation are formed on the insertion member 14. The elastic band 13 and the insertion member 14 are used for users to step on or operate for rehabilitation training.

[0032] The following will continue to describe some preferred / improved embodiments based on the above embodiments. Any one of the following embodiments can be selected, or multiple embodiments can be combined.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, limit blocks 11 are formed on the left frame 1 and the right frame 2, and the support column 4 can move within a limited range. When the walking aid is fully extended, the support column 4 rests on the limit blocks 11 and is supported by the limit blocks 11.

[0034] Furthermore, the main frame is also equipped with a detachable backrest 15. The backrest 15 is located above the tablecloth 5 and serves to support the main structure and improve the structural strength after unfolding. It can also provide support when the seat is on the tablecloth 5 and the rotating plate 7. The backrest 15 is attached to the main frame and fastened by fasteners. The backrest 15 can be installed or removed by turning the fasteners.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, a storage frame 16 is detachably provided on the support column 4. The storage frame 16 includes a support frame 1601 and a cloth bag 1602 fixed on the support frame 1601. A hinge axis is formed in the middle of the support frame 1601. The support frame 1601 can be bent upwards to fold. When there are no items or only a few small items in the support frame 1601, the support frame 1601 and the cloth bag 1602 can be folded together with the entire walker for storage.

[0036] Furthermore, the end of the support column 4 is threaded, and two mounting rings 17 are fixed to the top of the support frame 1601. The mounting rings 17 are sleeved on the support column 4. The end of the mounting ring 17 has a rotating knob 18. The inner wall of the knob is threaded, and the knob 18 can be fixed to the support column 4 through the thread. If it is necessary to remove the storage basket, loosen the knob to detach the storage basket 16 from the support column 4, thereby removing the storage basket 16.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, a mounting base 19 extends from the rotating plate 7, and the first locking member 8 and the second locking member 9 are rotatably mounted on the mounting base 19. Locking grooves 22 and locking blocks 23 are alternately formed at the ends of both the first locking member 8 and the second locking member 9. Locking holes 24 of the same diameter are horizontally opened on the locking blocks 23 and the locking grooves 22. When the locking block 23 is placed in the locking groove 22, the locking holes 24 on the locking block 23 and the locking groove 22 are interconnected. It should be noted that the two rotating plates 7 can only rotate within the range of 0-180 degrees. Specifically, the unfolded rotating plate 7 can only bend and rotate upwards. To ensure the comfort of the chair, when the first locking member 8 and the second locking member 9 are locked onto the tablecloth 5, an elastic pad 20 is arranged in a ring around the first locking member 8 and the second locking member 9. The elastic pad 20 smoothly transitions and wraps around the first locking member 8 and the second locking member 9, so that even if you sit on the first locking member 8 and the second locking member 9, you will not feel uncomfortable. The elastic pad 20 also improves the overall aesthetics. In addition, the position of the insertion hole 6 is preferably at the edge of the tablecloth 5 to ensure the support strength and the chair experience.

[0038] Furthermore, a spring 25 is provided in the locking hole 24 on the locking block 23 in the middle of the first locking member 8. Locking pins 26 are fixed at both ends of the spring 25. An operating wrench 27 is formed on the locking pin 26. The operating wrench 27 slides on the locking block 23. The locking pin 26 is used to pass through the locking hole 24 on the locking block 23 and the locking groove 22 to lock the first locking member 8 and the second locking member 9 together. The operating wrench 27 is used to operate the movement of the locking pin 26 to achieve locking or unlocking.

[0039] When storing the walking aid, firstly, operate the locking pin 26 using the wrench 27 to unlock and separate the locking groove 22 and locking block 23 on the first locking member 8 and the second locking member 9, and then remove the backrest 15. Next, bring the left frame 1 and the right frame 2 together and lift the rotating plate 7 upwards to complete the folding and storage of the fork-shaped bracket 3, the rotating plate 7, and the storage basket, thereby enabling the walking aid to be stored as a whole. Similarly, when unfolding the walking aid, the left frame 1 and the right frame 2 need to be separated outwards, and the first locking member 8 and the second locking member 9 need to be re-engaged and locked using the locking pin 26. Then, unfold the storage basket and install the backrest 15 to complete the unfolding process.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the fork-shaped bracket 3 has a rotating angle limiting member 28. The angle limiting member 28 includes a rotating member 2801 and an abutting member 2802. One end of the rotating member 2801 rotates on the fork-shaped bracket 3, and the other end rotates on the main frame. The abutting member 2802 rotates on the rotating member 2801 and is coaxially fitted with a torsion spring 29.

[0041] Furthermore, both the rotating member 2801 and the fork-shaped bracket 3 are provided with limiting posts 30. The abutting member 2802 rotates between the two limiting posts 30. The angle limiting member 28 restricts the rotation range of the fork-shaped bracket 3 and also serves to connect the fork-shaped bracket 3 with the main bracket.

[0042] In addition, the left frame 1 and the right frame 2 are equipped with elastic bands 13 connected by coil springs 12. The coil springs 12 are fixedly installed in the receiving groove inside the main support. The receiving groove is connected to the outside. The elastic bands 13 can be pulled out by the plug-in 14. After the plug-in 14 is released, the elastic bands 13 can be automatically stored under the action of the coil springs 12. In use, the plug-in 14 can be inserted into or removed from the same plug-in slot 10 by inserting the foot into the operating sleeve 21. The plug-in 14 can also be inserted into or removed from the plug-in slots 10 on the left frame 1 and the right frame 2 respectively. Firstly, the leg strength and flexibility can be exercised by repeatedly inserting and removing the plug-in 14 into the two plug-in slots 10. Secondly, after insertion, the leg strength can be exercised by stepping on the elastic bands 13, which helps with rehabilitation and achieves multi-functionality.
