Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of trekking poles, in particular to a foldable trekking pole. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, outdoor outings and mountaineering activities are gradually increasing. Trekking poles are very effective auxiliary equipment to help people carry out mountaineering activities. They can adapt to various mountain road conditions and reduce the burden of people's exercise. They have become one of the must-have items for some mountaineering enthusiasts. According to research, using trekking poles when walking can reduce at least 22% of the force applied to muscle joints such as the legs and knees, making the legs feel more comfortable, and using two trekking poles at the same time can provide better balance.

[0003] The folding trekking poles commonly seen on the market are made of multiple round tubes spliced ​​end to end, with a steel wire rope connected in series inside the round tubes. The top round tube is a telescopic tube, and the middle steel wire is pulled by external force to insert each section of the guide bushing into the corresponding round tube, and then the telescopic tube under the handle is extended to straighten the steel wire rope, and the telescopic tube is locked by marbles. However, this structural design is not very stable and has a short service life. Moreover, after the product has been used for a period of time or the steel wire rope is pulled by excessive force, the tubes of the trekking pole will become loose, affecting the use effect.

[0010] Beneficial effect: By rotating the base, the drawstring on the drawstring fixing part can be adjusted to two connection states, tight and loose. The tight drawstring state is convenient for users to stretch the trekking pole for use, and the loose drawstring state is convenient for users to disassemble the trekking pole and store it into different multi-section poles for carrying.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided on the base, and a limiting protrusion is provided on the cover, and the limiting groove cooperates with the limiting protrusion.

[0012] Beneficial effect: By arranging the limiting groove and cooperating with the limiting protrusion, the cover is not easy to rotate when it abuts against the base, and the connection is firm.

[0013] Preferably, a movable lock is provided at the bottom of the handle, and one end of the base is detachably connected to the movable lock.

[0014] Beneficial effect: The user can adjust the distance between the first connecting rod and the handle by bending the movable lock buckle, which is convenient for the user to install and use.

[0015] Preferably, a pressing hole and a plug-in hole are provided on the second connecting rod, a locking button is provided on the fixing plug-in, the fixing plug-in is plugged into the plug-in hole, the locking button is arranged inside the plug-in hole, one end of the locking button is fixedly connected to the fixing plug-in, and the other end of the locking button is connected to the pressing hole.

[0016] Beneficial effect: by setting the plug hole, the locking button can pop out of the plug hole and be connected to the bottom of the first connecting rod, which is convenient for the trekking pole to be stretched and locked for use.

[0017] Preferably, the locking button is elastic and rebounds to its original position after being pressed.

[0018] Beneficial effect: the locking button is elastic, and when the user pulls the second connecting rod, the locking button can pop out and snap onto the bottom of the first connecting rod, so that the trekking pole is not easy to loosen when in use.

[0019] Preferably, a limiting concave ring is provided on the fixed base, and the limiting concave ring cooperates with the second connecting rod and the third connecting rod.

[0020] Beneficial effect: by providing the limiting concave ring, the second connecting rod and the third connecting rod can be clamped in the limiting concave ring when the trekking pole is folded and stored, so that it is easy to store and carry. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
