Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of trekking poles, and in particular to an outdoor trekking pole. Background Art

[0002] Trekking poles were originally a tool used to assist in climbing steep rocks, and originated in the Alps region of Europe. In the process of climbing mountains freehand, people found that using a long stick could provide additional support and balance, thereby reducing the burden on the body and increasing safety.

[0003] With the rise of mountaineering, trekking poles have gradually developed into a professional equipment and are widely used in outdoor activities such as mountaineering, hiking, and cross-country running. Trekking poles are usually made of lightweight and durable aluminum alloys, carbon fiber and other materials. They have the characteristics of adjustable length, strong grip, non-slip and comfortable, which can effectively reduce the burden on the knee joints and improve climbing efficiency and stability.

[0004] With the development of technology, modern trekking poles have also added many innovative designs, such as shock absorption system, folding design, ergonomic design of the handle head, etc., so that trekking poles can play a good supporting role in various complex environments. Trekking poles have gradually become one of the essential equipment for outdoor enthusiasts. They can not only provide support and balance, but also help relieve muscle fatigue and improve the comfort and safety of outdoor activities.

[0005] But in outdoor activities, outdoor enthusiasts carry some other practical props besides trekking poles. Therefore, multifunctional trekking pole designs have also appeared on the market. Related prior art such as Chinese patent application "A Multifunctional Trekking Pole", application number: CN201310122573.7; discloses a handle head, a wrist strap, an LED light, a switch, a support foot, a hollow groove, a pole, a compass, a compass cover, and a scale label. The handle head is provided with a compass, the compass cover is provided on the compass, the bottom of the handle head is provided with an LED light, the lamp head side of the LED light is provided with a switch, the switch is a manual press switch for controlling the LED light, the LED light is welded with a support foot, the handle head and the lower part of the pole are provided with a hollow groove, the support foot is inserted into the hollow groove, the hollow size of the hollow groove matches the size of the support foot, and a scale label is provided on the pole. When in use, the LED light is turned on and the support foot of the light is hung in the hollow groove. If the irradiation direction needs to be changed, the support foot of the light is lifted and taken out and then hung in the corresponding hollow groove. When not in use, the light can be removed and stored. The trekking pole with a scale label can be used as a ruler.

[0006] The above patent application is equipped with an LED lamp for lighting on the basis of a trekking pole. Although the independent split structure is adopted, the two are highly flexible, but the independent LED lamp is relatively independent in use and storage. For users, the convenience of use and portability of the above patent application cannot be well felt. Utility Model Content
