Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation equipment technology, and in particular to a walking aid device. Background Technology
[0002] The existing walking aid, also known as a lower limb orthosis, is a walking support tool used by elderly people with mobility difficulties, certain trauma patients, hemiplegic patients, and disabled people to help themselves walk or exercise their limb strength. People can walk slowly and easily with its support. Orthopedic patients with leg injuries often need to use walking aids for rehabilitation training during the nursing process.
[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN219127249U proposes an orthopedic nursing walking aid device, including a frame, which is a U-shaped frame. Protective plates are fixed on both sides and the front end of the frame. A base plate with casters is fixed at the lower end of the frame. An adjustment component is installed at the lower end of the base plate. A weight block is slidably installed at the lower end of the base plate through the adjustment component. The adjustment component includes an adjustment rod. A locking block is fixed on the periphery of the lower end of the adjustment rod. The weight block has a mounting groove for accommodating the adjustment rod. An L-shaped sliding groove is formed on the inner wall of the mounting groove, which slides with the locking block. The height of the L-shaped sliding groove is greater than the distance between the bottom surface of the weight block and the lower end of the caster.
[0004] Existing technologies have proposed solutions to increase the center of gravity to improve stability, but these solutions cannot adapt quickly to different road surfaces or different needs, thus reducing the effectiveness of the device. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a walking aid device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is:
[0007] A walking aid device includes a walking aid assembly, the walking aid assembly including two walking aid frames symmetrically distributed; a connecting frame fixedly connected between the two walking aid frames; a handrail disposed on the top outer wall of the walking aid frame; a base plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the walking aid frame; and walking wheels installed on the bottom of the base plate.
[0008] The outer side wall of the walking aid frame is provided with a lifting assembly, which includes a top frame, fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the walking aid frame; an electric push rod, fixedly connected to the bottom of the top frame; a base frame, fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod; and a sliding light rod, slidably connected to the inner side wall of the base plate, with its top end connected to the bottom of the base frame.
[0009] The bottom end of the sliding sleeve is provided with an elastic damping element, which includes a support plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding sleeve; a spring rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate; and a damping plate fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring rod.

[0012] Optionally, there are two electric actuators.
[0013] Optionally, the lifting assembly further includes a sliding sleeve, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the base plate and slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod.
[0014] Optionally, the bottom surface of the damping plate has anti-slip texture.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] By installing a lifting assembly on the walking frame, with an elastic damping element at its bottom, the walking frame can be raised on normal surfaces, allowing unimpeded movement and facilitating patient mobility. On smooth surfaces, the lifting assembly lowers the elastic damping element, increasing friction and preventing slippage, thus improving safety. When the walking frame needs to be fixed to the ground, the lifting assembly further lowers the elastic damping element, raising the walking frame and lifting the wheels off the ground, thus securing the frame. This allows the walking frame to adapt to different surfaces and needs, enhancing its overall effectiveness. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0031] Given that current technologies cannot quickly adapt to different road surfaces or different needs, the effectiveness of the device is reduced.
[0032] like Figure 1-4As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a walking aid device, including a walking aid component 10. The walking aid component 10 includes two walking aid frames 11, which are symmetrically distributed. A connecting frame 12 is fixedly connected between the two walking aid frames 11. A handrail 13 is disposed on the top outer side wall of the walking aid frame 11. A base plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the walking aid frame 11. Walking wheels 15 are installed on the bottom of the base plate 14.
[0033] Two walking aid frames 11 are connected by a connecting frame 12, so that the two walking aid frames 11 and the connecting frame 12 form the walking aid frame body. When in use, the walking aid is achieved by holding the handrail 13 and moving using the walking wheels 15.
[0034] The outer wall of the walking frame 11 is provided with a lifting assembly 20. The lifting assembly 20 includes a top frame 21 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the walking frame 11; an electric push rod 22 fixedly connected to the bottom of the top frame 21; a base frame 23 fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 22; a sliding light rod 24 slidably connected to the inner wall of the base plate 14, and the top end of the sliding light rod 24 is connected to the bottom of the base frame 23; the bottom end of the sliding sleeve 25 is provided with an elastic damping element 30. The elastic damping element 30 includes a support plate 31 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sliding sleeve 25; a spring rod 32 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 31; and a damping plate 33 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the spring rod 32.
[0035] The top frame 21 has an "I"-shaped structure, with both ends directly fixed to the walking frame 11. The bottom frame 23 also has an "I"-shaped structure, with its top mounted on the top frame 21 via an electric push rod 22. There are four sliding rods 24, arranged symmetrically in pairs through the bottom plate 14, supporting the elastic damping element 30 at the bottom. The elastic damping element 30 consists of a support plate 31, a spring rod 32, and a damping plate 33. The damping plate 33 is connected to the support plate 31 via the spring rod 32, allowing the spring rod 32 to apply a downward pressure to the damping plate 33. This ensures that the damping plate 33 maintains continuous downward pressure when in contact with the ground, thus increasing friction. When assisting walking on normal surfaces, the elastic damping element 30 does not contact the ground, allowing the walking aid assembly 10 to move unimpeded, facilitating patient movement. When moving and walking on smooth surfaces, the sliding rod 24 on the base frame 23 can be lowered by the electric push rod 22. This causes the sliding rod 24 to move the elastic damping element 30 downward, making the damping plate 33 contact the smooth surface. The spring rod 32 then applies a downward force to the damping plate 33, ensuring that the damping plate 33 maintains continuous downward pressure when in contact with the ground. This increases the friction of the walking aid component 10, achieving an anti-slip walking effect and improving safety when walking on smooth surfaces. When it is necessary to fix the walking aid device to the ground (usually when the patient is physically exhausted and needs the support of the walking frame), the elastic damping element 30 can be lowered further by the lifting component 20. This raises the walking aid component 10, causing the walking wheels 15 on the walking aid component 10 to leave the ground, thus fixing the walking frame to the ground.
[0036] Furthermore, the outer wall of the handrail 13 is provided with a rubber sleeve.
[0037] The use of rubber sleeves enhances grip comfort.
[0038] Furthermore, the walking aid component 10 also includes a reinforcing rod 16, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the walking aid frame 11.
[0039] By installing reinforcing rod 16, the overall strength of the walking frame is improved, thereby increasing its service life and safety.
[0040] Furthermore, there are two electric actuators 22.
[0041] Two electric actuators 22 work simultaneously to improve the stability of the support.
[0042] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 20 also includes a sliding sleeve 25, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the base plate 14 and slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding rod 24.
[0043] By setting the sliding sleeve 25, the sliding rod 24 can slide stably within the base plate 14.
[0044] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the damping plate 33 has anti-slip texture.
[0045] The anti-slip properties of the damping plate 33 are further enhanced by adding anti-slip texture.
[0046] Furthermore, a control button 40 is provided on the outer wall of the handrail 13, and an electric push rod control unit 50 is installed on the top of the top frame 21. The control button 40 is electrically connected to the electric push rod control unit 50, and the electric push rod control unit 50 is electrically connected to the electric push rod 22.
[0047] The control button 40 is fixed on the handrail 13. When controlling the lifting, the electric push rod control unit 50 can be quickly controlled by the control button 40 on the handrail 13, so that the electric push rod control unit 50 controls the electric push rod 22 to perform the up and down lifting operation.
[0048] Furthermore, the electric actuator control unit 50 consists of a battery and a motor controller.
[0049] The battery's electrical output terminal is electrically connected to the electric actuator 22 via a wire, enabling the battery to supply power to the electric actuator 22. The motor controller is a Zikodrive ZD-SC24120, which can control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor inside the electric actuator 22 to achieve the purpose of lifting and lowering. The control of the electric actuator 22 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0050] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
