[0033] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a multifunctional walking stick provided by the utility model, Figure 2 for Figure 1Schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the multifunctional walking stick shown.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the utility model provides a multifunctional walking stick, comprising a stick rod 10 and legs 20 and a handle 30 arranged at both ends of the stick rod 10. The stick rod 10 is a hollow tube structure, which can be composed of multiple sections to facilitate the adjustment of the length of the stick rod 10 to adapt to users of different heights.

[0035] The handle 30 is hinged with an upper pull rod 40, which is connected to the support leg 20 through a pull rope 50. By pulling the upper pull rod 40, the support leg 20 can be closed to achieve the function of picking up objects. By loosening the upper pull rod 40, the support leg 20 can be opened to achieve the supporting function.

[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the handle 30 is U-shaped, including a lower crossbar 31, a vertical bar 32 and an upper crossbar 33 connected in sequence. The outer end of the lower crossbar 31 is covered with a right-angle bent tube-shaped connector 34, and the lower end of the connector 34 is inserted and fixed on the upper end of the pole 10. The outer end of the upper crossbar 33 is covered with a grip 35, which is made of soft material and can be provided with an anti-slip structure on the outer surface to improve comfort and safety in use. When the elasticity of the grip 35 decreases or becomes sticky after long-term use, it can be easily replaced to reduce the cost of use.

[0037] A symmetrical plane structure is provided on the front and rear side surfaces of the vertical rod 32 , and a socket is provided at one end of the upper pull rod 40 , which is inserted into the plane structure and hinged to the vertical rod 32 .

[0038] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the support leg 20 includes a base 21, a lower pull rod 22 and a plurality of support pieces 23 evenly distributed along the circumference of the base 21. A through hole is provided at the center of the top surface of the base 21, and the lower end of the pole 10 is inserted into the through hole on the base 21 and fixed.

[0039] A plurality of arms 24 corresponding to the support pieces 23 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the base 21. The end surfaces of the arms 24 are provided with slots, and the slots on the plurality of arms 24 converge and communicate at the center of the base 21. Three or four arms 24 may be provided.

[0040] The support piece 23 is in the shape of an arc sheet, and a disc portion 25 is provided at the inner end thereof. An incomplete gear 26 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the disc portion 25 . The disc portion 25 is inserted into the slot of the support arm 24 and is hingedly connected.

[0041] A plurality of annular grooves 27 are provided at the lower end of the lower pull rod 22 . The plurality of annular grooves 27 are arranged along the axial direction of the lower pull rod 22 , and the annular grooves 27 are matched with the incomplete gears 26 on the support piece 23 .

[0042] The lower pull rod 22 is slidably disposed in the inner cavity of the lower end of the stick rod 10 , and the lower end of the lower pull rod 22 passes through the through hole on the base 21 and meshes with the incomplete gears on each support piece 23 .

[0043] The pull rope 50 is arranged in the inner cavity of the stick 10, the lower end of the pull rope 50 is connected and fixed to the upper end of the lower pull rod 22, and the upper end of the pull rope 50 passes through the stick 10 and is connected and fixed to the upper pull rod 40. The user pulls the upper pull rod 40 with his fingers to drive the lower pull rod 22 to move upward, and then the annular groove 27 drives the support piece 23 to rotate downward, the lower end of the support piece 23 retracts, and the support piece is closed to achieve the clamping function. After releasing the upper pull rod 40, the lower pull rod 22 slides downward under the action of the strategy, driving each support piece to rotate, and the support piece opens to achieve the supporting function.

[0044] Before use, the length of the pull rope 50 can be adjusted, and it is set so that when the upper pull rod 40 is pulled up and fits with the upper cross bar 33, the lower ends of the support pieces 23 abut against each other.

[0045] Based on the description of the above specific embodiments, the multifunctional walking stick and the multifunctional walking stick provided by the utility model have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0046] First, the support leg at the lower end of the cane can be opened or closed. When opened, it plays a supporting role to assist walking; when closed, the lower end of the support leg can clamp objects on the ground, so that objects on the ground can be picked up without bending over or squatting, which is convenient for the elderly to use.

[0047] For some people with depression, being able to successfully achieve the goal of picking up objects can relieve their irritability and avoid triggering symptoms.

[0048] Second, a disc is provided at the inner end of the support piece, and an incomplete gear is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the disc, which meshes with the annular groove on the pull rod. The closing or opening function of the support leg is realized by moving the lower pull rod up and down, with a simple structure and good synchronization.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variants thereof as used herein are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0050] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone should be aware of the structural changes made under the inspiration of the present invention. All technical solutions that are the same or similar to the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
