Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sports health care, and more specifically, to a mountaineering walking stick with a path guiding device. Background Art

[0002] As people have participated in outdoor sports more and more frequently in recent years, trekking poles and walking poles have been widely used as effective auxiliary tools for hiking activities. With the development of outdoor hiking activities, software such as hiking navigation and hiking route correction are now widely used in the mobile phone software application market.

[0003] By installing various navigation software in navigation guidance devices such as mobile phones or smart watches, users can plan hiking routes and follow the route guidance during hiking. However, most smart watches can only receive or display information provided by mobile phones. Routes and planning still require mobile phones and other tools to operate. However, when hiking or off-roading, many hiking enthusiasts are accustomed to holding walking sticks with both hands. During this process, users hold walking sticks with both hands and wrap their wrists with straps, making it difficult to use navigation devices such as mobile phones. In addition, since users often put their mobile phones in the middle of hiking, it is difficult to use them. In a backpack or pocket of clothes, it is often impossible to sense deviation vibration. When the user wants to know the route information, the user can only stand and remove the walking stick in one hand, take out the mobile phone from the backpack or clothes to confirm the information, then put the mobile phone back, and then pick up the walking stick. This process is very cumbersome and affects the user's exercise rhythm. Publication No. CN202739012U discloses a trekking pole that can navigate and communicate, which has a built-in GPS navigator and communication equipment. However, since the modules of this type of trekking pole are arranged in the middle of the pole, firstly, the overall center of gravity of the trekking pole is directly changed, and secondly, it is not combined with the use habits of mountaineering and walking.

[0004] At present, some navigation and blind canes have navigation functions and voice broadcast functions, and some canes are equipped with button interaction systems for easy operation. However, in the ideal use environment of such navigation canes, they can only be operated with the cooperation of both hands. The user needs to use the non-holding hand to touch the interactive buttons of the cane to complete the operation, or place the cane on the ground before operating. This does not meet the usage scenarios of mountain climbers and walkers. Moreover, such canes are also expensive due to the various built-in modules, and are not as good as mobile phone APPs from the perspective of function realization.

[0005] During mountain climbing and hiking, the most ideal usage scenario for navigation and guidance devices such as mobile phones, in accordance with user habits, is to place the canes of both hands on the ground or slope, and keep the hands holding the canes in a holding position, without taking out the device to complete the operation of the navigation and guidance device. Currently, except for the smart cane with a special cane grip that integrates many components, no other cane can achieve this effect.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a mountaineering walking stick that can be used in conjunction with existing path guidance devices such as mobile phones equipped with APPs. During use, the user can hold and apply force to the stick without taking out the device, and can directly operate the mobile phone-type path guidance device with the holding hand. Utility Model Content

[0007] One purpose of the utility model is to provide a mountaineering and walking stick with a path guidance device, the overall structure of which does not affect the normal use of the stick by mountaineers and walkers, and when the mountaineers need to operate the path guidance device, the two brushless motors can cooperate with each other to complete the flipping of the path guidance device clamped in the front, which is convenient for the mountaineers to use.

[0008] In order to achieve these purposes and other advantages of the utility model, according to one aspect of the utility model, a mountaineering walking stick with a path guidance device is provided, comprising:

[0009] A walking stick rod, the top of which is a gripping handle that can be held by the thumb and other four fingers, the top of which is fixed with the stator of a first brushless motor, the rotor of the first brushless motor is transmission-connected to one end of a first connecting arm forward, the other end of the first connecting arm is downwardly fixed with the stator of a second brushless motor, the rotor of the second brushless motor is transmission-connected to the upper end of a vertical fixed arm downward; a clamping assembly, which includes a fixing plate, the upper and lower ends of the fixing plate are respectively provided with a retractable upper clamping block and a lower clamping block, the fixing plate is detachably connected to the vertical fixed arm, the upper clamping block and the lower clamping block jointly clamp a path guiding device, and the touch surface of the path guiding device faces forward.

[0010] Preferably, the shaft of the walking stick at the lower part of the grip handle is rotatably sleeved with an auxiliary support bearing, the outer ring of the auxiliary support bearing is outwardly connected to a second connecting arm, the second connecting arm is upwardly bearing-connected to the lower end of the vertical fixed arm, and the upper and lower ends of the vertical fixed arm are on the same plumb line.

[0011] Preferably, a wireless charging coil is installed on the side wall of the fixing plate facing the path guiding device, a charging module is detachably connected between the fixing plate and the vertical fixing arm, and the charging module is electrically connected to the wireless charging coil.

[0012] Preferably, the gripping rod handle is covered with a soft shell layer suitable for human hand gripping, and the front of the soft shell layer is recessed with a preset groove to accommodate four fingers in a gripping gesture.

[0013] Preferably, the first connecting arm has a rotation range of 90° clockwise to 90° counterclockwise about the first brushless motor.

[0014] Preferably, the vertical fixed arm has a rotation range of 90° clockwise to 90° counterclockwise with the second brushless motor as the axis.

[0015] Preferably, half the width of the path guiding device is smaller than the length of the first connecting arm in vertical projection.

[0016] The utility model at least has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] First, the mountaineering walking stick with a path guiding device provided by the utility model has all its components arranged at the same height of the handle, the weight is concentrated on the user's holding hand, and the sound and vibration emitted by the path guiding device can inform the mountaineering walker in the first time without affecting the normal exercise habits of the mountaineering walker.

[0018] Secondly, the mountaineering and walking stick with a path guiding device provided by the utility model has a first connecting arm extending outwards, which does not affect the holding posture of the mountaineering and walking person.

[0019] Third, the mountaineering walking stick with a path guidance device provided by the utility model completes the rotation of the navigation guidance device from the front to the back through the cooperation of two brushless motors. Taking the right hand holding as an example, the user holds the holding stick handle with four fingers counterclockwise, and the thumb is pressed against the holding stick handle clockwise and clasped with the four fingers. At this time, the touch surface of the navigation guidance device faces forward. When the navigation guidance device needs to be operated, the thumb changes from a clenched state to a vertical state while the four fingers still keep a clenched state. After the thumb touches the component, the first brushless motor drives the first connecting arm to rotate counterclockwise, and the second brushless motor drives the navigation guidance device to flip so that its touch surface faces the user. The user operates the navigation guidance device with the thumb while applying force to the holding stick handle with four fingers.

[0020] Fourthly, the mountaineering walking stick with a path guidance device provided by the utility model has four fingers that are not affected by the rotation of the vertical fixed arm in a normal grip. When the navigation guidance device is turned to the use position during operation, the thumb is turned from the gripping position to a vertical position, and thus will not be pinched or conflict with the structure.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the technical solution of the present application provides a mountaineering walking stick with a path guidance device, comprising: a walking stick rod 1, the top of which is a holding handle 11 that can be held by the thumb and other four fingers, the top of the holding handle 11 is fixed with the stator of a first brushless motor 2, the rotor of the first brushless motor 2 is connected to one end of a first connecting arm 4 in a forward transmission manner, the other end of the first connecting arm 4 is fixed downward with the stator of a second brushless motor 3, the rotor of the second brushless motor 3 is connected to the upper end of a vertical fixed arm 5 in a downward transmission manner; a clamping assembly 7, which includes a fixing plate 70, the upper and lower ends of the fixing plate are respectively mounted with a retractable upper clamping block 71 and a lower clamping block 72, the fixing plate 70 is detachably connected to the vertical fixed arm 5, the upper clamping block 71 and the lower clamping block 72 jointly clamp a path guidance device 8, and the touch surface of the path guidance device 8 faces forward.

[0035] In the present technical solution, the first brushless motor 2 and the second brushless motor 3 are readily available in the market and have been widely used in brushless motors in handheld gimbals or mobile phone stabilizers. A convex structure 9 extends from the upper part of the gripping stick handle to the rear, and a touch component 91 is arranged on the convex structure 9. The touch component 91 is electrically connected to the first brushless motor 2 and the second brushless motor 3 and controls the rotation of the first brushless motor 2 and the second brushless motor 3. In order to adapt to the size of the walking stick, the first brushless motor 2 and the second brushless motor 3 can use BO1410 with a diameter of 14 mm. NB2B gimbal brushless micro motor, the touch component 91 is a control component that is easily processed and manufactured on the market and can be operated by the thumb to match the motor. It can be optionally a touch screen or a button combination. When the user needs to operate the first brushless motor 2 and the second brushless motor 3, the user needs to loosen and lift up the thumb and four fingers in the grip to operate the touch component 91. The vertical fixed arm 5, the clamping component 7 and the path guidance device 8 will not contact or clamp the thumb during the rotation process. Among them, the control principles involved are all common methods widely used in mobile phone stabilization devices and gimbal equipment.

[0036] In the present technical solution, the first brushless motor 2 and the second brushless motor 3 are both cylindrical components available on the market, the holding rod handle 11 is a cylindrical structure, a fixing structure is provided in the cylinder to fix the stator part of the first brushless motor 2, the rotor part of the first brushless motor 2 is fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting arm 4 by screws or other fixing structures, the first connecting arm 4 is a hollow lattice beam arm structure, and a fixing device is provided at the other end to fix the stator part of the second brushless motor 3, the upper part of the vertical fixing arm 5 is connected to the rotor part of the second brushless motor 3 by screws or other snap-on structures, and the touch group Component 91 is electrically connected to the first brushless motor 2 and the second brushless motor 3.

The control components and power supply equipment involved are all existing technologies and can be fixed in the middle tube structure of the holding stick 11 or the walking stick 1, and can also be accommodated by adding an external box body or other structures to the walking stick 1. Optionally, the touch component 91 can also be arranged into two or more groups of buttons so that the first brushless motor 2 and the second brushless motor 3 can be controlled respectively, or through a touch screen.

[0037] In the present technical solution, the path guidance device 8 is a mobile phone equipped with navigation software. The vertical fixed arm 5 is connected with a fixing plate 51. The fixing plate 51 and the fixing plate 70 are provided with screw holes of matching quantity, position and size. The fixing plate 51 and the fixing plate 70 are fixed by screws. The upper clamping block 71 and the lower clamping block 72 are inserted into the fixing plate 70 through rods and fixed in the fixing plate 70 by springs. The springs always provide a pulling force to the upper clamping block 71 or the lower clamping block 72 in the direction of the fixing plate 70, so that the upper clamping block 71 and the lower clamping block 72 are always in a clamping state, and can clamp path guidance devices 8 of different models and sizes. In order to provide stability for clamping, grooves are provided on the clamping surfaces of the upper clamping block 71 and the lower clamping block 72 to clamp the path guidance device 8, and an elastic rubber layer is provided in the grooves. The path guidance device 8 can be a mobile phone device equipped with navigation software, or other types of navigation devices.

[0038] In the present technical solution, the user first clamps the path guidance device 8 such as a mobile phone in the clamping component 7, with the touch surface facing the front of the user. During the normal walking process of the user, taking the right hand holding as an example, in the holding posture, the four fingers hold the holding handle 11 counterclockwise, and the thumb is close to the holding handle 11 clockwise and clasped with the four fingers, and the four fingers are located between the holding handle 11 and the vertical fixed arm 5. When the user needs to operate the navigation guidance device, in order to ensure that the walking stick is supported on the ground and the thumb touches the component 91, the user releases the four fingers with the thumb and changes them from a gripping state to a vertical state. After touching the component 91 with the thumb, the first brushless motor 2 drives the first connecting arm 4 to rotate counterclockwise, and the second brushless motor 3 drives the vertical fixed arm 5 and the navigation guidance device 8 thereon to flip so that its touch surface faces the user. While the four fingers keep applying force to the holding handle 11, the user operates the navigation guidance device 8 with the thumb.

[0039] In this technical solution, the user can use the supporting hand to operate the navigation guidance device 8 with one hand while supporting the walking stick on the ground or slope. The reasonable structure will not affect the user's holding posture. The reasonable structural setting of the walking stick has the center of gravity of the user's hand, which is in line with the user's habits.

[0040] In another technical solution, the shaft of the walking stick shaft 1 at the lower part of the holding handle 11 is rotatably sleeved with an auxiliary support bearing 10, and the outer ring of the auxiliary support bearing 10 is outwardly connected to the second connecting arm 101, and the second connecting arm 101 is upwardly bearing-connected to the lower end of the vertical fixed arm 5, and the upper and lower ends of the vertical fixed arm 5 are on the same plumb line. In this technical solution, the inner ring of the auxiliary support bearing 10 is sleeved and fixed on the walking stick shaft 1 and the outer ring is connected to the second connecting arm 101, and a connecting arm bearing seat 102 is provided above the end of the second connecting arm 101 and is rotatably connected to the vertical fixed arm 5. During use, both ends of the vertical fixed arm 5 are constrained to be more stable, and there will be no shaking or loosening during mountain climbing. Most of the weight of the vertical fixed arm 5 and other components thereon is borne by the second connecting arm 101, which can reduce the burden on the first brushless motor 2 and the second brushless motor 3 and improve the overall service life.

[0041] In another technical solution, a wireless charging coil 61 is installed on the side wall of the fixed plate 70 facing the path guidance device, and a charging module 6 is detachably connected between the fixed plate 70 and the vertical fixed arm 5. The charging module 6 is electrically connected to the wireless charging coil 61. In this technical solution, since most of the current mobile phone navigation guidance devices 8 are equipped with a wireless charging receiving coil, and since the navigation guidance device 8 needs to be used for a long time during mountain hiking, the addition of a charging module 6 greatly improves the battery life of the navigation guidance device 8. The wireless charging coil 61 is a wireless charging transmitting coil customized according to the size of the fixed plate 70, which is a part easily available in the market and can be fixed in the fixed plate 70 by a hook. Optionally, The wireless charging coil 61 can be a standard square transmitting magnetic coil or a standard circular transmitting magnetic coil of various brands. The wireless charging coil 61, the clamping assembly 7 and the charging module 6 together constitute a wireless power bank with a clamping function. The shape of the charging module 6 is customized and is provided with screw holes matching the fixing plate 70 and the fixing sheet 51, and is fixed together by screws. Optionally, the charging module 6 and the fixing plate 70 can also match in shape and be disassembled by snapping together. The fixing plate 70 for fixing the wireless charging coil 61 is also provided with a cover plate 73 to prevent the wireless charging coil 61 from being exposed. The charging module 6 can be charged by external charging. A wiring hole is provided in the middle of the fixing plate 70 to connect the charging module 6 line to the wireless charging coil 61. Figure 5 As shown, the vertical fixed arm 5 can be bent toward the holding handle 11 to form a crank shape according to the size of the charging module 6 and the position of the four fingers in the grip posture, so that the overall position of the navigation guidance device 8 does not change while providing an installation position for the charging module 6.

[0042] In another technical solution, the gripping rod handle is covered with a soft shell layer suitable for human hand gripping, and a preset groove 110 is recessed in the front of the soft shell layer to accommodate four fingers in the gripping posture. The preset groove 110 is a shape suitable for four-finger gripping, and the user places the other four fingers except the thumb in the preset groove 110 to obtain the best gripping posture.

[0043] In another technical solution, the first connecting arm 4 rotates with the first brushless motor 2 as the axis in a range from 90° clockwise to 90° counterclockwise from the front. In this rotation range, the first connecting arm 4 will not rotate excessively and contact the wrist of the user.

[0044] In another technical solution, the vertical fixed arm has a rotation range of 90° clockwise to 90° counterclockwise with the second brushless motor as the axis. In this rotation range, the clamping component 7 and the path guidance device 8 will not clamp the user's four fingertips in the gripping position during the rotation process, and after adjusting to the appropriate position, the user's thumb releases the touch component 9, while maintaining the four-finger grip and applying force to the grip handle 11, and operates the path guidance device 8 through the thumb.

[0045] In another technical solution, half the width of the path guiding device 8 is smaller than the length of the first connecting arm 4 in the vertical projection. In this technical solution, the path guiding device 8, which is centrally fixed by the clamping assembly 7, does not contact the palm, thumb, or fingertips that maintain a normal grip when it is rotated to the extreme angle.

[0046] The number of components and processing scale described here are used to simplify the description of the utility model. Applications, modifications and variations of the utility model are obvious to those skilled in the art.

[0047] Although the implementation scheme of the utility model has been disclosed as above, it is not limited to the applications listed in the specification and implementation modes. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the utility model. For those familiar with the art, additional modifications can be easily implemented. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the scope of equivalents, the utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
