Description

Technical field:

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of telescopic tube products, in particular to a telescopic rod structure with a self-locking function. Background technology:

[0002] The telescopic rod structure that can be linearly extended and shortened can be used in many different places, so that the length of the item can be adjusted according to the needs of the user when in use, so as to enhance functionality, portability, etc.

[0003] The telescopic rod structure is composed of connecting rods of different diameters connected by rings and spring buttons. When the spring button installed on the small-diameter connecting rod is pressed to disengage the spring button from the hole in the large-diameter connecting rod, the small-diameter connecting rod can be telescopically moved in the large-diameter connecting rod to meet different usage requirements, but cannot be pulled out; when the spring button pops out on the small-diameter connecting rod and is embedded in the hole in the large-diameter connecting rod, the large-diameter connecting rod and the small-diameter connecting rod that are sleeved with each other are locked and cannot move, so as to realize the fixed-point function.

[0004] At present, most of the retractable structures on the market, such as: the Chinese utility model patent application with patent announcement number CN112700588A discloses a high-strength spiral cutting edge ball head end mill, which includes: a cutting edge and a handle. The outer sleeve of the handle is provided with a telescopic tube, and the handle and the telescopic tube are connected in an axial sliding manner; the upper part of the handle is provided with a hollow groove, and an elastic mechanism is provided inside the hollow groove; the elastic mechanism includes a V-shaped spring and an elastic button, one end of the V-shaped spring is connected to the elastic button, and the other end is fixed to the bottom of the hollow groove, and the opening of the hollow groove is provided with a through hole that matches the elastic button; the telescopic tube is provided with a plurality of positioning holes that match the elastic button, and the handle and the telescopic tube are fixedly connected through the elastic button and the through hole and the positioning hole. The utility model adopts a retractable handle structure, and the length of the handle can be adjusted according to the needs of the user, without the need to prepare multiple models of end mills of different lengths, so that the end mill can fully match the milling machine and ensure the normal processing of the processing process.

[0005] However, this existing structure still has the following disadvantages:

[0006] The elastic mechanism in this technical solution includes a V-shaped spring sheet and an elastic button, one end of the V-shaped spring sheet is connected to the elastic button, and the knife handle and the telescopic tube are connected by the elastic button, the through hole and the positioning hole. However, there is a problem. Due to the bending characteristics of the V-shaped spring sheet, the direction of its elastic force is not directly opposite to the through hole, but has a certain inclination angle. In addition, this solution does not have a design to prevent the elastic button from excessively retracting, resulting in the risk of the elastic button being excessively pressed and stuck in the empty slot during use. Once stuck in the empty slot, the V-shaped spring sheet will generate a force between the inner wall of the empty slot, making the elastic button unable to pop out again, thereby rendering the entire structure unusable, causing great trouble to the user.
