Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an anti-tipping orthopedic nursing walking aid, including a walking aid body 1, handles 2, and an auxiliary mechanism 4. The handles 2 are connected to both sides of the top of the walking aid body 1, and a pulley 3 is installed on one side of the bottom of the walking aid body 1. The auxiliary mechanism 4 includes a support base 401, a limiting base 402, a fixing base 403, a limiting component 404, an extension plate 405, a support foot 406, a fixing rod 407, a fixing column 408, a threaded rod 409, a turntable 410, and a threaded rod. The walking aid body 1 has a support base 401 welded to the bottom of the main body 1 away from the pulley 3, and a limit seat 402 connected to the top of the support base 401. A fixing seat 403 is welded to the side of the main body 1 near the support base 401, and a limit member 404 is connected through the fixing seat 403. An extension plate 405 is welded to the middle of the outer wall of the limit seat 402, and a support foot 406 is connected to the bottom of the extension plate 405. The limit seat 402 has a "C" shaped structure. 02 has an internal fixing groove, into which a limiting member 404 extends. The limiting member 404 has an "L" shape. The support base 401 and the fixing base 403 are arranged in a "two" shape. The support foot 406 has a "T" shape. The extension plate 405 is arranged in an "L" shape. A fixing rod 407 is welded to the top of the outer wall of the walking aid body 1. A fixing post 408 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod 407. One side of the outer wall of the fixing post 408 is welded to the walking aid body 1. The middle of the outer wall of the walking aid body 1 A threaded rod 409 is rotatably connected, and a turntable 410 is abutted on one side of the outer wall of the threaded rod 409. A threaded cylinder 411 is threadedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the threaded rod 409. A protective cylinder 412 is slidably connected to the middle of the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 411, and one side of the outer wall of the protective cylinder 412 is connected to the main body 1 of the walker. The side of the threaded cylinder 411 away from the turntable 410 is connected to the main body 1 of the walker through a bearing seat. The handle 2 has a "U" shaped structure, and the fixed post 408 and the threaded cylinder 411 are parallel to each other.

[0022] In practical implementation, during the use of this orthopedic nursing walking aid, in order to improve the support stability of the walking aid body 1, since a support base 401 is welded to one side of the bottom of the walking aid body 1, the limiting seat 402 is first moved to connect with the walking aid body 1. At this time, the bottom end of the limiting seat 402 contacts the support base 401, and then the supporting seat 401 supports the limiting seat 402. Then, the limiting member 404 is moved through the fixing seat 403 until the limiting member 404 is inserted into the limiting seat 402, thereby fixing the limiting seat 402 to prevent it from moving arbitrarily. And because the limiting seat 402 is connected through the extension plate 405... With support feet 406 attached, when the main body 1 of the walker is needed, the main body 1 of the walker is first pushed with pulley 3 as the fulcrum. At this time, the support feet 406 are disconnected from the ground, so they will not hinder the movement of the main body 1 of the walker. After the main body 1 of the walker moves to the designated position, the support feet 406 are then brought into contact with the ground, thereby increasing the contact area between the main body 1 of the walker and the ground, improving the support effect between the main body 1 of the walker and the ground, and preventing the rolling friction between the pulley 3 and the ground from causing the walker to shift. This prevents the shift of the walker from affecting the patient's center of gravity when walking and prevents the patient from falling and getting injured.

[0023] When it is necessary to adjust the internal space of the walking aid body 1 for the convenience of the patient, first connect the threaded rod 409 to the turntable 410. Manually rotate the turntable 410 beforehand to drive the threaded rod 409 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 409 and the threaded cylinder 411 are connected by a thread, the rotation of the threaded rod 409 causes the threaded cylinder 411 to move along the protective cylinder 412. Furthermore, since one side of the outer wall of the threaded cylinder 411 is connected to the walking aid body 1, the movement of the threaded cylinder 411 will drive the walking aid body 1 to move together, thereby increasing the spacing between the walking aid bodies 1. The size is increased, and because the top of the walking aid body 1 is connected to the fixing rod 407, the fixing rod 407 will slide along the fixing post 408, thereby guiding the movement of the walking aid body 1 and making it move smoothly until the walking aid body 1 moves to the designated position. Then, the spacing between the walking aid bodies 1 can be adjusted so that the internal space of the walking aid body 1 corresponds to the patient's usage habits, improving the comfort of using the walking aid. Thus, when using the orthopedic nursing walking aid, it plays a role in facilitating the adjustment of spacing and providing support to prevent tipping.

[0024] In summary, when using this anti-tipping orthopedic nursing walking aid, the patient first grasps the handle 2, then slowly moves their body into the walking aid body 1. The pulleys 3 then assist the walking aid body 1 in movement, with each movement not exceeding the patient's arm span. Once the walking aid body 1 reaches the designated position, the patient is assisted in walking using the support points provided by the walking aid body 1, thus aiding recovery. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated upon here. The auxiliary mechanism 4 increases the contact area between the walking aid body 1 and the ground, thereby improving the support effect between the walking aid body 1 and the ground, preventing rolling friction between the pulleys 3 and the ground from causing displacement of the walking aid, and thus preventing the displacement of the walking aid from affecting the patient's center of gravity while walking, preventing the patient from tipping over and getting injured. Furthermore, the spacing between the walking aid bodies 1 is adjusted so that the internal space of the walking aid body 1 corresponds to the patient's usage habits, thereby improving the comfort of using the walking aid. Content not described in detail in this description belongs to existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0025] Although the present invention 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 the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
