Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rehabilitation walking aid, including a bracket 1 and a wheel 17. The bracket 1 is welded with a vertical rod 2, and a base 9 is welded to the lower end of the vertical rod 2. A rotating frame 18 is rotatably connected to the base 9, and a wheel 17 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 18. A rotating rod 16 is detachably connected to the wheel 17. The rotating rod 16 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 18. A brake pad 15 is attached to the outer side of the rotating rod 16. A pull rope 8 is connected to the input end of the brake pad 15. The input end of the pull rope 8 is detachably connected to the handle 4. The handle 4 is slidably connected to the corresponding bracket 1. By installing a vertical rod 2 on the support 1, a base 9 can be set on the vertical rod 2, and a rotating frame 18 can be installed on the base 9. The rotating frame 18 can rotate on the vertical rod 2. When wheels 17 are installed on the rotating frame 18, the wheels 17 can provide assisted movement. When the patient uses the device, they can push it to walk without having to continuously move the device. A fixed seat 14 is installed on the rotating frame 18, and a connecting frame 13 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 14. The brake pads 15 on the connecting frame 13 are wrapped around the rotating rod 16 of the wheel 17. A ball bearing 12 is installed on the connecting frame 13 and is slidably connected to the ball groove 19 of the slide plate 20. The wheel 17 changes direction of movement. When the patient moves forward, the ball 12 will move within the ball groove 19 of the slide plate 20, and the slide plate 20 will not separate from the ball 12. A pull rope 8 is installed on the slide plate 20, and the input end of the pull rope 8 is installed on the handle 4. The handle 4 is installed on the bracket 1 through the slide bar 5. The patient can hold the corresponding handle 4 with one hand, and the handle 4 can pull the slide plate 20 upward through the pull rope 8. The brake pad 15 will move to the position of the rotating rod 16 and make contact with the rotating rod 16, so that the wheel 17 can be braked. The device can then be used as a basic walking aid without the wheel 17. By setting the device, the patient can manually adjust it to meet their needs for assistance.
[0021] A slot 3 is provided on the vertical rod 2, and the slot 3 is opened along the length of the vertical rod 2. A corresponding guide roller 7 is horizontally arranged in the slot 3 of the vertical rod 2. By opening the slot 3 on the vertical rod 2, the pull rope 8 can pass through the slot 3. The pull rope 8 will be connected to the slide plate 20 in a V-shape, which facilitates the upward pulling of the slide plate 20. The pull rope 8 can also be located inside the slot 3, so as to avoid being exposed to the outside of the vertical rod 2, thereby protecting the pull rope 8 and making it less likely to be pulled.
[0022] A slide rod 5 is detachably connected to the handle 4. The slide rod 5 is rectangular in shape and is slidably connected to the bracket 1. A return spring 6 is sleeved on the slide rod 5.

One end of the first spring 11 is detachably connected to the slide plate 20, and the other end is detachably connected to the top plate 10. By fitting the first spring 11 between the slide plate 20 and the top plate 10, the first spring 11 pushes the slide plate 20 downward, thereby ensuring that the slide plate 20 drives the brake pad 15 downward, thus enabling the patient to control the movement independently.
[0025] A fixed seat 14 is detachably connected to the rotating frame 18. A connecting frame 13 is slidably connected to the fixed seat 14 of the rotating frame 18. A brake pad 15 is detachably connected to the connecting frame 13. The fixed seat 14 can restrict the connecting frame 13, allowing the connecting frame 13 to move in the position of the fixed seat 14, thereby causing the brake pad 15 to move closer to or away from the rotating rod 16.
[0026] The skateboard 20 has a ball groove 19, and a ball bearing 12 is slidably connected inside the ball groove 19. The ball bearing 12 is welded to a corresponding connecting frame 13. A pull rope 8 is detachably connected to the skateboard 20. Through the connection between the ball bearing 12 and the ball groove 19, when the wheel 17 turns, the ball bearing 12 will move to different positions in the ball groove 19, thereby ensuring that the skateboard 20 will not separate from the connecting frame 13, and thus ensuring that the wheel 17 is controlled by the brake pad 15 when moving in different directions.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
