[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown:
[0026] This utility model provides a foldable portable walking aid, including a hinge frame 1. Both rear ends of the hinge frame 1 are bearing seats. Support beams 2 are rotatably mounted on both rear ends of the hinge frame 1 in cooperation with the bearings. Vertical rectangular slots are opened in the middle of the support beams 2. Mounting seats 3 are fitted in the rectangular slots and fixed by pins. A pressure plate 301 is integrally set in the middle of the top of the mounting seat 3. Two sets of storage tubes 302 are fixedly set on the top of the mounting seat 3. A support beam 4 has a U-shaped handrail 401 fixedly set in the middle of the bottom of the support beam 4. A locking rod 402 is fixedly set on the front bottom of the support beam 4, and a sliding rod 403 is fixedly set on the rear bottom of the support beam 4. The locking rod 402 and the sliding rod 403 slide in the storage tubes 302. Locking chambers 303 are fixedly set on the top of the front storage tubes 302.
[0027] The hinge frame 1 has two slidably mounted pedals 101 at its front ends. The support of the pedals 101 slides inside the hinge frame 1, and a spring is provided below the support of the pedals 101. The top and rear ends of the pedals 101 are integrally mounted with positioning blocks 102. The top of the positioning blocks 102 has a rounded head structure and protrudes through the hinge frame 1.
[0028] Among them, a limiting plate 201 is fixedly installed above the hinge shaft on the top front side of the support beam 2. The bottom of the limiting plate 201 is provided with two sets of slots that match the positioning plug 102, and the two sets of slots are staggered by 90 degrees.
[0029] Each lock chamber 303 is equipped with a spring lock 304 that slides inside the lock chamber 303, and each end of the spring lock 304 that protrudes from the lock chamber 303 is fixedly equipped with a pull ring.
[0030] The lower outer part of the locking rod 402 is configured as a conical tooth column structure with the inclined surface of the conical tooth column facing upward, and the spring lock 304 fits and adheres to the outside of the conical tooth column structure of the locking rod 402.
[0031] Among them, a receiving plate 5 is hinged to the lower front side of the hinge frame 1, and casters are fixedly installed at the bottom front end of the receiving plate 5 and the bottom front and rear ends of the support beam 2.
[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, when it is necessary to raise the height, simply pull the support beam 4 upwards to raise the locking lever 402. Conversely, when it is necessary to lower the locking lever 402, the spring lock 304 needs to be pulled outwards. After unlocking, the locking lever 402 can be pressed down to adjust it. The spring lock 304 can support the locking lever 402, thereby bearing part of the user's weight.
[0033] Mounting base 3 can be directly removed and used as a bottom support. Together with the support beam 4, it forms a cane structure that can be used independently and flexibly in environments where the walking aid cannot be used. Mounting base 3 has a large support area, distributes force evenly, and provides convenient support.
[0034] Example 2:
[0035] Based on Example 1, when storing the walking aid:

[0037] Lower both sets of locking levers 402 to reduce space usage;
[0038] Press the pedal 101 down to lower it, and the positioning block 102 will also descend synchronously, causing the positioning block 102 to be pulled out of the groove of the limiting plate 201 to unlock the limiting plate 201. At this time, rotate the support beam 2 to fold it up.
[0039] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0040] In this utility model, when in use, according to Figure 1 Once the walker is fully extended, the elderly person can walk by holding onto the handrail 401.
[0041] The spring lock 304 provides a one-way self-locking effect. When adjusting the height, if you need to raise it, simply pull the support beam 4 upwards to raise the locking rod 402. Conversely, if you need to lower the locking rod 402, you need to pull the spring lock 304 outwards. After unlocking, you can press the locking rod 402 to lower it. The spring lock 304 can support the locking rod 402, thus bearing part of the user's weight.
[0042] The storage tray 5 provides a carrying function, making it convenient to carry luggage or other items. The storage tray 5 can also be folded up. When storing the walking aid, the storage tray 5 can be folded upwards and lifted up to reduce space occupation and facilitate placement. At the same time, both sets of locking levers 402 can be lowered to reduce space occupation.
[0043] When folding, the foot pedal 101 needs to be pressed down to lower it, and the positioning block 102 will also be lowered simultaneously, so that the positioning block 102 can be pulled out of the groove of the limiting plate 201 to unlock the limiting plate 201. At this time, the support beam 2 can be rotated to fold it up for easy storage.
