Anti-falling mechanism adaptive to walking aid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of nursing appliances, in particular to an anti-falling mechanism suitable for a walking aid appliance.
Background
As the aging population of China increases year by year, the use of the walking aid is more and more common. The walking aid is an important nursing appliance, not only is a walking aid for the disabled and the old, but also is more important for the disabled and the old to do physical exercise and participate in social activities by the aid of the walking aid.
The prior walking aid is mostly provided with an emergency stop device, but has a plurality of problems: firstly, most emergency stop devices of walking aids have an emergency stop function by means of friction braking of brake pads, so that a user is easy to fall down when emergency stop is carried out in case of emergency danger, and the situation is possibly worsened due to serious falling injury because most users have obstacles in walking; secondly, most of the conventional emergency stop devices are active brakes, namely, a user can work only when actively operating, so that the reaction time left for the user is often short when the user is in danger in the actual situation, and the active brakes have certain hidden danger; thirdly, the slipping condition is easy to occur in the braking process, and the stability of the device after braking cannot be ensured; fourthly, the emergency stop device in the market has higher use cost, is accompanied by potential safety hazards such as noise, heating, aging and the like, and has some inconveniences when being used for a device which runs at low speed and light load.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
Embodiments of the present invention are described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and examples.
In the embodiment of the invention, the anti-falling mechanism suitable for the walking aid comprises a rubber anti-falling pad 1, a stop rod 2, a structural frame, a connecting steel sheet, a transmission rod, a main support frame 9, a mounting locking plate 10, a spring 12, a transmission hinge 15 and wheels.
Specifically, the functions of the embodiment of the present invention can be divided into two parts.
The first part is a normal walking state, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the wheel is in a normal rolling state, the first transmission rod 11 and the second transmission rod 13 are in a straight line, the third transmission rod 20 and the third structural frame 7 are in a straight line, and a spring 12 is connected between the first transmission rod 11 and the third transmission rod 20; the angle of the dead point of the anti-falling mechanism is determined through angle calculation, the first transmission rod 11 and the second transmission rod 13 cannot be actively bent by the anti-falling mechanism through the connection of the position of the dead point of the anti-falling mechanism and the spring 12, and the third transmission rod 20 and the third structural frame 7 cannot be actively bent, so that the stop rod 2 has a certain distance relative to the ground, the rubber anti-skid pad 1 cannot be contacted with the ground, and the purpose of normal walking is achieved.
The second part is an emergency stop antiskid state, when a user meets an obstacle and needs to make an emergency stop, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the body of the user leans forwards, a downward component force is given to the walking aid to enable the spring 12 to be stretched by tension, the second transmission rod 13 and the third transmission rod 20 rotate along the hinges respectively, the height of the whole mechanism is reduced, and the stop rod 2 moves vertically downwards until the stop rod is contacted with the ground. After the spring is stretched and the stop rod 2 is contacted with the ground, the mechanism is in a self-locking state and cannot automatically recover due to the reduction or disappearance of the downward force action of the inclined direction. The spring is fixed in position, so that the self-locking performance is guaranteed, and meanwhile, a user applies vertical or oblique upward force to release the self-locking state of the mechanism, and the walking state is recovered. The rubber anti-skid pad 1 is arranged at the contact end of the stopping rod 2 and the ground, so that the friction force between the stopping rod 2 and the ground is increased, the shock absorption and buffering effects are achieved, the comfort of a user is improved, and the abrasion of the stopping rod 2 and the whole mechanism is reduced.
The main supporting frame 9 is provided with a mounting locking plate 10 which is connected by bolts and is connected with the walking aid with a cross bar as a lower frame through a hole on the upper part, thereby greatly increasing the interchangeability of the invention and reducing the cost of replacing the anti-falling wheel. The anti-falling wheel adopts a small-size rubber wheel, and can be replaced by wheels of different sizes according to the actual condition of a user.
The invention adjusts different sensitivities to adapt to different terrains by adjusting the ground clearance of the stop rod 2 and the size of the wheel.
The anti-fall mechanism adapted to a walker device provided by the present invention has been described in detail, and the principles and embodiments of the present invention are explained herein using specific examples, which are provided only to help understand the present invention and the core concept. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, it is possible to make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principle of the present invention, and those improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
