More specifically, the blind user grasps the mounting box 4, and uses the sleeve 1, the electronic crutch body 2 and the buffer component 3 to provide support, so as to play the role of a crutch. The buffer component 3 can buffer the impact when the crutch contacts the ground, and the telescopic adjustment component 6 can push the electronic crutch body 2 up and down, thereby changing the overall length of the crutch to meet the needs of users of different heights. The device can be powered by the power connection component 7, and the power connection component 7 can be switched by the manual power change component 8 to keep the power connection component 7 in a stable power supply state.

[0029] The buffer component 3 includes a ball head 301, and the ball head 301 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electronic crutch body 2, the surface of the ball head 301 is rotatably connected to the connection seat 302, the bottom surface of the connection seat 302 is fixedly connected to the buffer pad 303, the inner wall arc surface of the connection seat 302 is fixedly connected to the spring 304, the free end of the spring 304 is fixedly connected to the support block 305, and the support block 305 is in contact with the surface of the ball head 301.
