Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of elderly care equipment technology, specifically a walking aid. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating aging of the population, the demand for walking aids has increased significantly, and traditional walking aids can no longer meet the growing needs of the elderly. The elderly's needs for smart walking sticks are not limited to basic support functions, but also include requirements for safety, convenience, and intelligence.

[0003] Due to the lack of effective guidance design, elderly people often cannot find their way in time when they get lost while walking outdoors. Existing anti-lost products have limited functions, lack intelligent design, and cannot fully meet the needs of the elderly.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a walking aid to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a walking aid designed to address the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inability of existing canes to provide comprehensive guidance.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a walking aid, comprising a base, a telescopic rod fixedly mounted on the base, a handle fixedly mounted on the telescopic rod and disposed away from the base, a disc fixedly mounted on the telescopic rod, a controller built into the disc, a GPS positioning and navigation module built into the disc and electrically connected to the controller, a power module built into the disc and electrically connected to the controller, and a signal transceiver module built into the disc and electrically connected to the controller.

[0007] The top of the disk is fixedly equipped with an indicator light group consisting of several first LED beads for indicating direction. The several first LED beads are distributed in a circular array on the disk. The indicator light group is electrically connected to the controller.

[0008] A vibration sensor module is fixedly installed on the grip, and the vibration sensor module is electrically connected to the controller;

[0009] A speaker module is fixedly installed inside the disc, and the speaker module is electrically connected to the controller. In use, when the elderly person holds the handle, the GPS positioning and navigation module transmits their location information to a family member's mobile phone via a signal transceiver module to pinpoint their exact location. The signal transceiver module also indicates the guiding route. The controller controls an indicator light group to arrange several LED beads into indicator icons for the elderly person to see, making path identification more accurate. The controller then controls a vibration sensor module to vibrate during movement and turns, transmitting the vibration to the elderly person's palm to alert them to road conditions. The controller can also control the speaker module to emit sound, providing direct voice guidance. This multi-sensory approach—combining sight, sound, and touch—provides strong guidance, making it more convenient and efficient for lost elderly people.

[0010] Preferably, for convenient lighting, a lighting assembly consisting of several second LED beads is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the disc. The several second LED beads are arranged in a circular array on the disc. The lighting assembly is electrically connected to the controller to illuminate the area around the human body, making it easier for the elderly to see the way.

[0011] Preferably, for a more comfortable grip, the grip is covered with a non-slip sleeve made of rubber material. The non-slip sleeve wraps around the vibration sensor module, which improves the grip and also provides waterproof and dustproof protection.

[0012] Preferably, for waterproofing, a speaker hole is provided at the bottom of the disc, and the speaker module is set corresponding to the speaker hole to avoid affecting the speaker module and improve its service life.

[0013] Preferably, to improve stability, the base includes a base plate fixedly installed on the telescopic rod, and at least four circumferentially evenly distributed support legs are fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate. The end of each support leg away from the base plate is fitted with an anti-slip pad made of rubber material, thereby improving the stability of the telescopic rod when it moves and ensuring that it is safer for the elderly to use.

[0014] This walking aid features a grip handle and a GPS navigation module that transmits the elderly person's location information to a family member's mobile phone via a signal transceiver module. This allows the system to pinpoint the elderly person's exact location and guide them along a route. The controller controls an indicator light group that uses a combination of LED beads to display indicator icons for the elderly person to see, making route identification more accurate. The controller also controls a vibration sensor module that vibrates during movement and turns, transmitting the vibrations to the elderly person's palm to alert them to road conditions. Furthermore, the controller can control a speaker module to emit sound, providing direct voice guidance. By combining visual, auditory, and tactile feedback, this device provides strong guidance, making it more convenient and efficient for lost elderly individuals.

[0015] This walking aid features a base plate that expands the support area of ​​the telescopic pole and four feet that contact the ground. Anti-slip pads increase the friction between the feet and the ground, thereby improving the stability of the telescopic pole during movement and ensuring greater safety for the elderly.

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] This embodiment provides a walking aid, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the walking aid includes a base 1, a telescopic rod 2 fixedly mounted on the base 1, a handle 3 fixedly mounted on the telescopic rod 2 and disposed away from the base 1, a disc 4 fixedly mounted on the telescopic rod 2, a controller 5 built into the disc 4, a GPS positioning and navigation module 51 built into the disc 4 and electrically connected to the controller 5, a power module 52 built into the disc 4 and electrically connected to the controller 5, and a signal transceiver module 53 built into the disc 4 and electrically connected to the controller 5.

[0025] A direction indicator group 41 consisting of several first LED beads 411 is fixedly installed on the top of the disk 4. The several first LED beads 411 are arranged in a ring array on the disk 4. The indicator group 41 is electrically connected to the controller 5.

[0026] A vibration sensor module 54 is fixedly installed on the grip 3, and the vibration sensor module 54 is electrically connected to the controller 5;

[0027] A speaker module 55 is fixedly installed inside the disc 4, and the speaker module 55 is electrically connected to the controller 5.

[0028] When in use, the elderly person holds the handle 3. The GPS positioning and navigation module 51 transmits the elderly person's location information to a family member's mobile phone via the signal transceiver module 53 to determine the elderly person's exact location. The signal transceiver module 53 also indicates the route. The controller 5 controls the indicator light group 41 to arrange several first LED beads 411 to display indicator icons for the elderly person to see, making it easier for them to identify the path. Then, the controller 5 controls the vibration sensor module 54 to vibrate when moving and turning, transmitting the vibration to the elderly person's palm to remind them to pay attention to the road conditions. The controller 5 can also control the speaker module 55 to emit sound, directly guiding the elderly person through voice. In this way, the elderly person is given strong prompts through multiple methods of seeing, hearing, and touching, making it easier and more efficient to guide lost elderly people.

[0029] Specifically, a lighting assembly 42 consisting of several second LED beads 421 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the disk 4 for illumination. The several second LED beads 421 are distributed in a ring array on the disk 4, and the lighting assembly 42 is electrically connected to the controller 5.

[0030] When in use, the controller 5 controls the opening and closing of the lighting group 42. When the lighting group 42 is turned on, the light source shines from around the disc 4 when the elderly are using the device, illuminating the area around the body and making it easier for the elderly to see the way.

[0031] More specifically, the grip 3 is fitted with a rubber anti-slip sleeve 31, which wraps around the vibration sensor module 54. In use, the grip 3 is held firmly by holding the anti-slip sleeve 31 to facilitate walking and prevent slippage. The anti-slip sleeve 31 also provides a better grip and waterproof and dustproof effect by wrapping the vibration sensor module 54.

[0032] Furthermore, a speaker hole 43 is provided at the bottom of the disc 4, and the speaker module 55 is correspondingly arranged with the speaker hole 43. In use, the sound emitted by the speaker module 55 is transmitted through the speaker hole 43, which is clearer. Moreover, placing the speaker hole 43 at the bottom of the disc 4 can achieve a good waterproof effect, avoid affecting the speaker module 55, and improve its service life.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Unlike Embodiment 1, traditional single-bar canes have poor stability when supported. Therefore, the base 1 includes a base plate 11 fixedly installed on the telescopic rod 2. At least four circumferentially evenly distributed support legs 12 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 11. The end of the support leg 12 away from the base plate 11 is fitted with an anti-slip pad 13 made of rubber.

[0035] When in use, the base plate 11 expands the support area of ​​the telescopic rod 2 and contacts the ground through the four support feet 12. The anti-slip pads 13 increase the friction between the support feet 12 and the ground, thereby improving the stability of the telescopic rod 2 when it moves and ensuring that it is safer for the elderly to use.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto.
