[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a safety - prevention multi - functional hiking stick, which includes a plurality of connecting sticks 1. The connecting stick 1 includes a connecting part 11 and a functional part 12. The connecting part 11 is connected to the functional part 12. The plurality of connecting sticks 1 are connected in sequence. And in two adjacent connecting sticks 1, the connecting part 11 of one connecting stick 1 is detachably connected to the functional part 12 of the other connecting stick 1.

[0036] In a mountaineering environment, mountaineers usually use hiking poles to relieve the pressure on their lower limbs. Mountaineers usually use single poles or double poles, so at least one hand is occupied. In a mountaineering environment, mountaineers need to frequently use walkie-talkies to communicate with their teammates or look at the GPS to determine the trajectory and orientation. When on steep sections, usually the hands are used to grasp rocks and trees to balance the center of gravity. Therefore, it is best for mountaineering electronic devices to be operable without occupying the hands. Today's intelligent electronic devices such as smartphones, GPS, and intelligent walkie-talkies are all controlled by screens and buttons. Therefore, when controlling, mountaineers need to look at the screen with their eyes and use their fingers to click the buttons to control the menu to achieve control. Therefore, when marching in a queue, the operation will inevitably affect the progress of the queue. If looking at the road with the corner of the eye, there will be risks; rain, snow, fog, and cold are all common mountainous climates when mountaineering. In rainy days, whether the hands are wet or the touch screen gets wet, it will affect the operation. When it is cold, gloves need to be frequently put on and taken off when using electronic devices in order to control the electronic devices with fingers.

[0037] For this method, the sensor can be separate or on the intelligent electronic device. For the separate device, it can be interconnected with the controlled target intelligent electronic device in forms such as wired and wireless, and the intelligent electronic device connected thereto is controlled through the separate sensor or the electronic device of the sensor.

[0038] For the scenario of mountaineering, there is currently no special solution. In the outdoors, especially during mountaineering, voice recognition is usually unable to accurately identify due to wind noise, thus unable to meet the requirements normally. In the mountaineering environment, mountaineers also cannot frequently look for various "keys" of electronic devices due to control, which may lead to accidents. For areas with complex roads, it is necessary to repeatedly check whether the track on the GPS is consistent with the preset road, which requires mountaineers to use the device during marching and look at the road with peripheral vision or disrupt the marching queue and stop to use the electronic device.

[0039] First of all, in this scenario, a hiking pole is needed. If the use of intelligent electronic devices can be controlled through the hiking pole, such as reporting the path, altitude, temperature, humidity, or controlling music, communication, and walkie-talkie intercom of a smartphone, etc., that is, allowing mountaineers to complete what they originally had to stop or slow down to do by triggering the sensor of the hiking pole during marching.

[0040] In the implementation example of the intelligent hiking pole, since the direction in which the mountaineer holds the hiking pole and the force of propping are based on terrain changes, a single sensor for trigger time, trigger speed, and trigger direction is not suitable for this scenario (easily mis-triggered). Generally, for the hand using the hiking pole, only the thumb and index finger are convenient for control. Therefore, at the top of the hiking pole handle, a concave area suitable for thumb triggering or an area suitable for index finger triggering is set, and sensors or a group of sensors that can sense the trigger duration and pressure are deployed in the middle area of the concave shape, so as to realize the control of intelligent electronic devices through pressure triggering and duration triggering.

[0041] The following is a brief description of the usage method of this application: First, the hiking pole is disassembled into multiple sections (the head of the hiking pole is the main unit, and the parts that can be unscrewed below the main unit are all sub-units). The main unit part has a buzzer and a flashing light, and is built-in with a wireless receiving module. The sub-unit part has a buzzer and a flashing light, and is built-in with a wireless transmitting module. The wireless signal transmission between the sub-unit and the main unit is not limited to wireless transmission methods such as RF433 / RF868 / LORA / Bluetooth / WiFi / Zigbee, etc.

[0042] After the hiking pole is unscrewed into multiple parts, one end of each independent body of the main unit and the sub-unit has a sharp object that can be inserted into the ground (conventional tools commonly used for outdoor camping such as knives, forks, screwdrivers, saws, etc.). There is a pull ring on the side of the head of the sub-unit. When the temporary warning function needs to be enabled, any two pull rings are connected through a matching pull rope, or one end of the pull rope is buckled on the pull ring and fixed to a tree trunk, and a temporary warning line can be formed. When any one of the pull ropes is tripped, the structural member connected to the pull ring is pulled outwards, causing the switch to conduct and the sub-unit to emit an alarm and a flash, and at the same time transmit a wireless signal to the main unit. The main unit will flash the light and emit an alarm sound of 120 decibels.

[0043] When using the waiting-for-rescue function, carry the main unit with you, and fix the slave units at about 1 kilometer away from the waiting-for-rescue location in different directions. The waiting-for-rescue search range can be expanded from the original point to a surface or a line, reducing the search difficulty and speeding up the rescue time. During the day, the slave unit beeps twice every 30 seconds, and at night, it flashes two red lights every 30 seconds. When the search and rescue personnel find one of the slave units, press the button on the top of the slave unit, and the slave unit will send a wireless signal to the main unit. The main unit will flash a light and emit an alarm sound of 120 decibels, providing an accurate rescue direction for the search and rescue personnel.

[0044] This hiking pole also has a temporary warning function. When setting up a camp, it can be used to create a simple area anti-intrusion for personal safety protection. Fix the slave units on the ground around, and connect them with silk threads every two. When an intruder or wild animal trips over the thread, the main unit will flash a light and emit an alarm sound of 120 decibels to alert the camp personnel and also scare away the intruding wild animals or people.

[0045] In summary, a multi-functional hiking pole for safety protection provided by this application can be disassembled into multiple connecting poles, and the connecting poles have different functional parts to achieve different functions. During the search and rescue, the sub-connecting poles can be placed at a certain distance from the main connecting pole. After the rescue personnel find the sub-connecting poles, they can determine the position of the main connecting pole according to the sound and flashing information of the sub-connecting poles. Therefore, the waiting-for-rescue search range can be expanded from the original point to a surface or a line, reducing the search difficulty and speeding up the rescue time.
