Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of walking aid technology, and in particular to a multifunctional walking aid. Background Technology
[0002] A walking aid is an assistive tool that helps people with mobility impairments walk. It serves to replace support, maintain balance, assist walking, and increase muscle strength, playing an indispensable role in rehabilitation. Traditional walking aids are relatively simple in function, usually limited to providing basic support and mobility assistance, but often fail to meet the diverse needs of patients in hospitals. After various surgeries in hospitals, doctors, based on the patient's specific condition and considering factors such as promoting blood circulation, gastrointestinal motility, and infection prevention, encourage some patients to get out of bed and move around as soon as possible. However, early ambulation often requires the assistance of multiple people. For example, after cardiovascular surgeries, continuous monitoring of the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen saturation is necessary. While the patient is using a walking aid, a caregiver may need to push a cart equipped with a cardiac monitor to monitor these indicators. Without the necessary equipment or caregivers, it is difficult to monitor the patient's vital signs during early ambulation. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product is usually placed during use. They are only used to facilitate the description of this utility model and to simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0021] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will be able to understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Example 1
[0022] Combined with appendix Figures 1-3 A multifunctional walking aid includes a support frame 1, a U-shaped support pad 2, and casters 3. The support frame 1 comprises four support rods connected by connecting rods, a design intended to provide stable support for the patient. Each of the four support rods is equipped with a caster 3, which may have a braking function to provide assisted movement for the patient. Simultaneously, when a fixed position is required, the braking system of the casters 3 can be activated to ensure the stability of the support frame 1 and prevent unnecessary slippage. The top of the support frame 1 features a U-shaped support pad 2, providing the patient with a handrail and more comfortable support. The above structure is prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0023] A mounting plate 6 is provided at the closed end of the U-shaped support pad 2. This allows medical staff to mount the electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor on the mounting plate 6 as needed, enabling real-time monitoring of the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and other indicators. Integrating the mounting plate 6 into the bracket 1 significantly improves the ease of use of the ECG monitor, meeting the patient's monitoring needs without requiring additional caregivers or equipment.
[0024] Preferably, this embodiment further provides a fixing structure for mounting plate 6. A right-angle connector 11 is connected to the front of the closed end of the U-shaped support pad, and mounting plate 6 is connected to the U-shaped support pad 2 via the right-angle connector 11. More specifically, the right-angle connector 11 has first fixing holes on its horizontal and vertical sides, and a second fixing hole is correspondingly provided on one side of the mounting plate 6. The mounting plate 6 is fixed to the horizontal plate or vertical side of the right-angle connector 11 by a bolt assembly, so that the mounting plate 6 is horizontally or vertically fixed in front of the U-shaped support pad 2. (See attached diagram) Figure 2As shown, when in use, the horizontal edge of the mounting plate 6 and the right-angle connector 11 is fastened together by bolt assembly, which is firm and reliable and can stably support the ECG monitor; when not in use, the vertical edge of the mounting plate 6 and the right-angle connector 11 is fastened together by bolt assembly, so that the mounting plate 6 is vertically downward, thereby reducing space occupation.
[0025] Preferably, a grid-like fence (not shown in the figure) is provided around the mounting plate 6. This grid-like fence can better protect the ECG monitor and prevent it from falling. Considering that the side of the mounting plate 6 with the second fixing hole is close to the U-shaped support pad, the U-shaped support pad will limit the ECG monitor's position. The side of the mounting plate 6 with the second fixing hole does not need to be equipped with a fence. It is also worth noting that when the mounting plate 6 is not in use, it is safer to install the mounting plate 6 vertically downwards with the grid-like fence facing the U-shaped support pad 2.
[0026] In this embodiment, in addition to providing basic support and mobility assistance, the walker can also be equipped with medical devices such as electrocardiogram monitors to enable real-time monitoring of health status. Example 2
[0027] Combined with appendix Figures 1-3 A multifunctional walking aid, which differs from Embodiment 1 in that it adds more functions based on Embodiment 1.
[0028] Adjustable rods 4 are also provided between the support rods and the U-shaped support pad 2. The bottom of these adjustable rods 4 matches the top of the support rods of the bracket 1 and is connected by a plug-in method. The top of the adjustable rods 4 is hinged to the bottom of the U-shaped support pad 2. This not only allows the patient to adjust the height of the U-shaped support pad 2 according to their individual body characteristics, but also allows for different plug-in lengths of the front and rear support rods and the adjustable rods 4, thereby changing the angle of the U-shaped support pad 2. This allows the U-shaped support pad 2 to adapt to different usage scenarios. For example, tilting the U-shaped support pad 2 in certain environments can improve comfort or meet ergonomic requirements. It is worth noting that when the U-shaped support pad 2 is tilted, it is recommended not to use the tablet 6 to support the electrocardiogram monitor to prevent the monitor from falling.
[0029] Preferably, to achieve precise and convenient adjustment, each adjusting rod 4 is provided with multiple positioning holes along the axial direction, while the top of the support rod is equipped with a corresponding pin. After the patient completes the height or angle adjustment, simply inserting the pin into the corresponding positioning hole of the adjusting rod 4 and passing it through the support rod will quickly lock the adjusting rod 4 in the new position, ensuring structural stability and ease of operation.
[0030] In addition, the closed end of the U-shaped support pad 2 is designed with two handles 5. In actual use, patients can place their arms on the U-shaped support pad 2 and hold the handles 5 to obtain additional support, help maintain balance, and provide safer assistance, especially during walking.
[0031] With patient experience and comfort in mind, the top of the U-shaped support pad 2 is covered with a soft sponge pad, providing better tactile feel and cushioning, further enhancing the comfort of use. Example 3
[0032] Example 3 is based on Example 1 or Example 2, with the addition of more structures.
[0033] A multi-functional walking aid, combining Figures 1-6 As shown, height adjustment devices 13 are fixedly connected to both sides of the support 1. One side of the height adjustment device 13 is equipped with a hook 7, and the other side of the height adjustment device 13 is fixed with a cylinder holder 12 for holding oxygen cylinders. This design takes into account more of the patient's needs, allowing the patient to use the hook 7 to hang various necessary items, such as drainage bags, according to the actual situation, further increasing the versatility and practicality of the support 1. Further combined with... Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a preferred structure of the bottle holder 12, which includes a fixing ring and a support plate. The top of the bottle holder 12 is provided with a fixing ring to prevent the oxygen bottle from tilting, and the bottom of the bottle holder is provided with a support plate to support the oxygen bottle.
[0034] The height adjustment device 13 allows the patient to adjust the height of the hook 7 or bottle holder 12 according to their actual needs. For example... Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the height adjustment device 13 includes a C-shaped groove plate 13-1 that is fastened to the bracket 1. A slider 13-2 is slidably fitted inside the C-shaped groove plate 13-1. The C-shaped groove plate 13-1 has multiple adjustment holes 13-3 spaced apart. A positioning pin 13-4 is inserted into the slider 13-2, which passes through the corresponding adjustment hole 13-3. Pulling out the positioning pin 13-4 adjusts the height of the slider 13-2. After adjustment, inserting the positioning pin 13-4 into the corresponding adjustment hole 13-3 achieves the height adjustment. Hooks 7 and / or bottle holders 12 are connected to the slider 13-2, allowing for height adjustment. If both hooks 7 and bottle holders 12 are to be height-adjustable, they are connected to the sliders 13-2 on both sides of the bracket 1. This design not only provides a convenient operating experience but also ensures the stability of height adjustment, meeting the usage requirements of patients with different treatment needs. In addition, the high / low adjustment device 13 has the advantages of simple and reliable structure and easy maintenance.
[0035] To ensure the safety and smooth flow of the drainage tube or oxygen tubing, the slider 13-2 is equipped with a flexible clip 8 for securing the drainage tube or oxygen tubing; the flexible clip 8 is rotatably connected to the slider 13-2 and is positioned above the hook 7 or bottle holder 12, such as... Figure 4 and 5 As shown. The elastic buckle 8 is flexible, allowing the insertion of a drainage tube or oxygen tube to be opened, and then tightened to clamp the drainage tube or oxygen tube to prevent displacement. It then automatically adjusts its angle according to the natural curvature of the drainage tube or oxygen tube, avoiding blockage caused by improper bending. This design ensures the normal operation of the drainage tube or oxygen tube while reducing the risks to the patient due to improper operation. Example 4
[0036] Combined with appendix Figures 1-3 A multifunctional walking aid, based on embodiments 1, 2, or 3, features an infusion holder 9 on one side of a U-shaped support pad 2. This infusion holder 9 is detachably connected to a micro-infusion pump 10. The infusion holder 9 not only provides a stable suspension point for infusion bottles or bags but also detachably connects to the micro-infusion pump 10. The micro-infusion pump 10 is an existing device capable of delivering medication in very small and precise amounts, which is crucial for treatments requiring strict dosage control. Patients can flexibly install or remove the micro-infusion pump 10 as needed, thereby optimizing operational convenience and space management during treatment.
