Research and design of a multifunctional intelligent walking stick

Abstract This paper designed a multifunctional intelligent walking stick for the elderly. The mechanical structure of the walking stick is provided with a hook, auxiliary mechanism for standing up, an anti-tripping mechanism, a small table board and telescopic adjustment. The auxiliary mechanism for standing up can make it easier for the user to stand up. The anti-tripping mechanism makes it safer for the elderly to walk without tripping. The retractable adjustment can meet the needs of people with different heights. The walking stick is also equipped with intelligent elements, such as lighting lamp, automatic time alarm, fall alarm system, manual alarm system, GPS positioning and MP3 music functions. When the elderly feels unwell, they can press the alarm switch, and the alarm bell will turn on, which can attract passers-by and improve the chance of rescue. When the fall alarm system is turned on, if the user falls, the alarm bell will ring, At the same time, the GPS positioning module will send the crutch position to the intelligent terminal to remind the guardian in time. Compared with the traditional crutches, the crutch has many functions and it is more convenient to use and safer.
