[0046] How to use and how to work this device:

[0047] In the locked state, i.e., walking mode, the screw 102 is inserted into the receiving groove 26 of the longitudinal rod 24, the rotating clamp 106 wraps around the longitudinal rod 24 and the half stud 107 enters the docking groove 104, the rotating butterfly 103 locks the half stud 107 and the screw 102 together, the auxiliary frame 8 is rigidly connected to the vehicle body 2, and the support rod 4 is height locked; crossing the seat 6 and the connecting rod 5, holding the front guard bar 1, the limit component 14 is released to adjust the rear guard bar 7 to a vertical state, the insertion rod 143 is engaged with the locking tooth 13 under the action of the spring 144 to form a backrest protection to prevent backward fall, the elderly hold the front guard bar 1, the vehicle body 2 moves flexibly through the universal wheels 23 and the walking wheels 22, the support rod 4 and the front guard bar 1 provide stable support to complete the walking exercise, when tired or the hand support is insufficient, they can sit directly on the seat 6 to rest to avoid accidents.

[0048] In the unlocked state, i.e. squatting mode, rotate the butterfly 103 in the opposite direction to separate the half stud 107 from the docking groove 104, and release the connection between the auxiliary frame 8 and the vehicle body 2. After the auxiliary frame 8 is unlocked, the support rod 4 can move up and down along the limiting groove 31 of the support seat 3. The linkage rod 9 transmits the movement trajectory. When the elderly sit on the seat 6, the elderly's family members or medical staff can press the auxiliary frame 8 to drive the support rod 4 to rise and fall, thus completing the squatting training.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields.
