Summary
The creation relates to a walker, especially related to a self-blanced walker.
As society gradually moved towards population aging, the proportion of the elderly population is increasing significantly,and demand for walker will been increased in the future.
The walker with four legs for stable support on the ground is a equipment that facilitates mobility. However,these walkers are limited by terrain and can only be used for relatively flat terrain and can not be used to go up and down the stairs. The user of the walker must rely on the assistance of others to get up and down the stairs, causing the user's inconvenience.
Therefore, the purpose of this creation is to provide a self-leveling walker, can be used for up and down the stairs.
The present invention provides a self-stabilizing walker for solving the problem of a conventional technique, comprising: a walker frame comprising a front stand and a rear stand, the front stand having a telescopic portion, the The inclination sensor is provided in the accelerator frame, and the tilt sensor senses whether or not the walker frame is tilted; A sensor provided on the front stand, the touch sensor sensing whether or not the bottom end of the front stand is touched; and a controller connected to the tilt sensor and the touch sensor, When the bottom end of the rear leg touches the ground, the controller controls the extension and contraction of the telescopic portion to adjust the accelerator frame to a steady state depending on whether the accelerator frame is tilted and whether the bottom end of the front stand touches the ground State, the steady state means that the accelerator frame is substantially horizontal and the bottom end of the front stand is grounded against the bottom end of the rear stand.
Scientific Breakthrough
經由本創作的自平穩式助行器所採用之技術手段,在樓梯或斜坡的使用環境下,伸縮部於上下方向為可伸縮以改變該前腳架的長度,而使助行器架體調整至平穩狀態。藉此,本創作之自平穩式助行器能適應樓梯與斜坡的使用環境。使用者得以獨力地上下樓梯以及斜坡。
