Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nursing cane technology, and in particular to a nursing cane suitable for elderly people to use for walking support and toileting. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating aging of the global population, the number of elderly people is increasing daily, and their health care needs are becoming increasingly prominent. In the field of neurology, many elderly patients suffer from neurological diseases (such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, etc.), which lead to impaired balance, motor impairment, or cognitive decline, greatly affecting their mobility. Currently, canes are a common tool for assisting elderly patients with walking.

[0003] Chinese Patent CN222777062U, authorized publication number, discloses a walking stick for the elderly with a medicine storage compartment. The stick includes a main body, a telescopic rod at its lower end, a handle fixed to its upper surface, an elastic locking plate fixed to its outer surface, a positioning support shell fixed to its lower outer surface, a medicine storage shell slidably connected to its inner surface, a positioning sliding protrusion at its lower end, a positioning sliding cavity on its lower inner surface, the outer surface of the positioning sliding protrusion slidably connected to the inner surface of the positioning sliding cavity, a groove on its lower inner surface, and a spring and a positioning locking protrusion on the inner surface of the groove. The walking stick has an external medicine storage shell structure for storing medicine and an external elastic locking plate mechanism for securing a water cup, making it convenient to carry and take medicine.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned technical solutions still have the following shortcomings in practical use. The cane's function is relatively simple, only providing basic support for standing and walking, making it difficult to meet the complex and diverse nursing needs of elderly neurological patients. For example, Parkinson's disease patients often experience muscle tremors and bradykinesia, making them prone to falls due to unsteady gait. A regular cane held in one hand cannot provide sufficient stability. Furthermore, when patients need to use a squat toilet while walking, it is difficult for them to independently squat and stand up using a traditional cane. Therefore, we propose a nursing cane suitable for elderly walking support and toileting to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a walking support and a nursing cane suitable for elderly people to use when going to the toilet, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a nursing cane suitable for elderly walking support and toileting, comprising a wheelchair frame, with grip sleeves installed on both sides of the top of the wheelchair frame, a horizontal partition installed at the front of the wheelchair frame, a sleeve frame provided at the front of the horizontal partition, a base plate fixed at the middle of both sides of the wheelchair frame, a rotating seat installed at the rear of both sets of base plates, a rotating rod rotatably connected inside both sets of rotating seats, a seat plate fixed at one end of each set of rotating rods, a drain opening in the middle of the seat plate, a seat cover provided at the top of the drain opening, the seat cover being rotatably connected to the two sets of rotating rods through rotating holes on both sides, and a plug-in component provided at the top of each set of rotating seats.

[0007] As an improved technical solution, the plug-in assembly includes sleeves fixed to the top of two sets of rotating seats. The inner walls of both sets of sleeves are provided with plug rods. The outer walls of the middle part of both sets of plug rods are fixed with collars. The opposite ends of both sets of plug rods are fixed with handles. The seat cover and seat plate are provided with locking holes on both sides. The opposite ends of both sets of plug rods can be inserted into the locking holes. The outside of both sets of plug rods is wound with a return spring.

[0008] As an improved technical solution, the frame is made of woven fabric.

[0009] As an improved technical solution, the outer wall of the seat is covered with a removable soft pad, which is fixed by Velcro.

[0010] As an improved technical solution, a buckle groove is provided in the middle of the front end of the seat cover, and the edge of the buckle groove is covered with a rubber layer.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, the grip is designed in a spherical shape and the surface of the grip is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, the two ends of the return spring are respectively connected to the outer wall of the collar and the inner wall of the sleeve, and the collar is elastically connected to the inner wall of the sleeve through the return spring.

[0013] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: I. This utility model features a reversible seat and cover installed inside the wheelchair frame. By holding two sets of grips on the wheelchair frame, the frame can move the seat and cover above the squat toilet. The seat can then be laid flat, allowing it to rotate two sets of rotating rods within the swivel, moving the bottom of the seat to the top of the two base plates. The drain outlet on the seat is aligned with the squat toilet, thus forming a temporary auxiliary seat. This eliminates the need for the user to squat and stand up independently, meeting the user's need for toileting. By flipping the cover over to the outside of the seat, it becomes a seat surface, allowing the user to sit and rest on it at any time, improving the convenience of using the device.

[0014] II. This utility model has movable insert rods installed at the top of the two sets of rotating seats. The two sets of insert rods can move in opposite directions under the elastic force of the two sets of return springs, so that the two sets of insert rods can be inserted into the locking holes on the seat plate and seat cover, quickly forming a rotation limit effect on the seat plate and seat cover. Thus, the wheelchair frame can be used normally for assisted walking, and the stability of the seat plate and seat cover when the wheelchair frame is moving is ensured. Attached Figure Description
