Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Mountaineering is a very healthy aerobic exercise. A hiking pole refers to an auxiliary device used when engaging in mountaineering activities. Hiking poles can bring many benefits to outdoor hiking and traversing activities, such as improving the stability of walking and reducing the burden on the legs. However, the current existing hiking poles are not small in length, and are not convenient for storage and carrying. Currently, few hiking poles have a folding function, or the folding method is not convenient and fast enough. At the same time, there are also problems such as the fixing method after unfolding is not firm and it is easy to be damaged.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN207100759U once disclosed a "folding hiking pole", which includes a hiking pole body. The hiking pole body includes a support rod, a handle and a tip. The support rod includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod. The lower end of the first connecting rod and the upper end of the second connecting rod are connected by a folding device. The folding device includes a groove, a rotating shaft, a lock and a lock hole. The groove is opened at the end of the first connecting rod. The rotating shaft is horizontally arranged between the side walls of the groove. The rotating shaft runs through and is connected to the top end of the second connecting rod. A receiving groove is provided on the side wall of the first connecting rod. The second connecting rod is rotated and introduced into the receiving groove through the rotating shaft. A lock is provided on the side wall at the lower end of the first connecting rod, and a lock hole is provided at the upper end of the second connecting rod. The lock is introduced into the lock hole for connection.

[0004] For the folding hiking pole in the above patent, its folding connection device includes a groove, a rotating shaft, a lock and a lock hole. However, such a connection method is difficult to firmly and stably fix the front and rear support rods, and is easy to be damaged after long-term use, and even poses a certain safety hazard.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a folding hiking pole to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The utility model provides a folding hiking pole to solve the problems of easy damage and instability at the connection of the existing folding hiking poles mentioned in the above background art.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0008] A folding hiking pole, including a handle, characterized in that one end of the handle is fixedly provided with a telescopic rod. A locking mechanism for adjusting the length of the telescopic rod is provided on the telescopic rod. A folding rod is rotatably provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod. A sleeve is slidably provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod. The telescopic rod and the folding rod are fixed through the sliding sleeve.

[0009] Further, a telescopic inner rod is slidably disposed within the telescopic rod.

[0010] Further, a clamping portion is provided on the locking mechanism, and a through hole is formed in the clamping portion.

[0011] Further, the locking mechanism further includes a connecting rod passing through the through hole, a blocking block is provided at one end of the connecting rod, and an adjusting handle is rotatably provided at the other end of the connecting rod.

[0012] Further, a positioning ring is provided on the inner surface of one end of the sleeve close to the telescopic rod.

[0013] Further, a convex ring cooperating with the positioning ring is provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod.

[0014] Further, connecting portions are respectively and fixedly provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod and the upper end of the folding rod, and a plurality of convex strips for generating a damping effect on the inner surface of the sleeve are provided on the connecting portions.

[0015] Further, the two connecting portions are connected by a rotatably provided connecting block.

[0016] Further, a foot sleeve is provided at the lower end of the folding rod.

[0017] Further, a hand rope is provided on the hand grip.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present utility model are as follows:

[0019] By sleeving a sleeve at the connection of the folding rod, the two ends of the folding are fixed, and a more stable fixing effect is obtained. At the same time, by sliding the sleeve and using the locking method of the damping effect between the sleeve and the convex strips, the locking and unlocking processes become fast and efficient, realizing the instant locking and unlocking between the telescopic rod and the folding rod.

Detailed implementation mode

[0029] As Figure 1 shown, it is the best embodiment of the present utility model. The folding hiking pole of this embodiment includes a handle 100. One end of the handle 100 is fixedly provided with a telescopic rod 200. A locking mechanism 300 for adjusting the length of the telescopic rod 200 is provided on the telescopic rod 200. A folding rod 500 is rotatably provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod 200. A sleeve 400 is slidably provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod 200. The telescopic rod 200 and the folding rod 500 are fixed through the sliding sleeve 400.

[0030] As Figures 2 - 3 shown, a telescopic inner rod 201 is slidably provided inside the telescopic rod 200. Its extended length is adjusted by the locking mechanism 300. A clamping part 301 is provided on the locking mechanism 300. A through hole 302 is opened on the clamping part 301. The locking mechanism 300 further includes a connecting rod 303 passing through the through hole 302. One end of the connecting rod 303 is provided with a blocking block 304. The other end of the connecting rod 303 is rotatably provided with an adjusting handle 305. When adjustment is needed, rotating the adjusting handle 305 can drive the connecting rod 303 to move. Since one end of the connecting rod 303 passes through the through hole 302 and is fixed with a blocking block 304, as the connecting rod 303 moves, the blocking block 304 also moves accordingly. The movement of the blocking block 304 will change the distance between the clamping parts 301, thereby changing the pressing force of the locking mechanism 300 on the telescopic rod 200 and the telescopic inner rod 201, achieving the effect of locking and unlocking the telescopic inner rod 201.

[0031] In other embodiments, the locking mechanism 300 can be replaced with other structures capable of realizing the locking function according to the usage scenario, such as a spring-loaded locking mechanism, a screw locking mechanism, etc. The screw locking mechanism uses a screw locking device to replace the current clamping part and connecting rod system. The screw locking device applies or releases the pressing force on the telescopic rod 200 and the telescopic inner rod 201 by rotating a threaded rod to achieve locking and unlocking.

[0032] As Figure 2 , Figures 4 - 8 shown, a positioning ring 401 is provided on the inner surface of one end of the sleeve 400 close to the telescopic rod 200, and a convex ring 900 is provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod 200, which is matched with the positioning ring 401. When connecting the folding rod 500, after the telescopic rod 200 and the folding rod 500 are kept parallel, when the sleeve 400 is slid down to the connecting part 700, the convex ring 900 can block the positioning ring 401 from moving down further, thereby positioning the sleeve 400 and making the sleeve in a suitable locking position.

[0033] In other embodiments, the positioning ring 401 can be replaced with other structures with similar functions, such as a magnetic positioning device: magnets and iron materials (or vice versa) are respectively installed on the inner surface of the sleeve 400 and the lower end of the telescopic rod 200, and the positioning effect is achieved by magnetic attraction. When the sleeve slides down to a specific position, the magnetic force will make the sleeve stay in a suitable position.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, connecting parts 700 are respectively fixedly provided at the lower end of the telescopic rod 200 and the upper end of the folding rod 500. A plurality of convex strips 701 that generate a damping effect on the inner surface of the sleeve 400 are provided on the connecting parts 700. The two connecting parts 700 are connected by a rotatably arranged connecting block 800. The sleeve 400 fixes the connecting part 700 through the damping effect between the inner wall and the convex strips 701. The connecting part 700 controls the friction force between the two by providing the convex strips 701, so that the friction force is not so large that it is difficult to slide the sleeve 400 while ensuring that the sleeve 400 can be firmly locked at the connection. At the same time, the sliding locking method makes the process of connecting the folding rod 500 fast and efficient, realizing the instant locking and unlocking between the connecting part 700 and the sleeve 400. Only by pushing or pulling once can the connection or separation be completed instantly, without cumbersome rotation actions or long waiting times. This instant feedback and efficient operation process greatly shortens the installation and disassembly time and improves the use experience.

[0035] In other embodiments, elastic gaskets can be installed on the outer surface of the connecting part 700, and these gaskets generate a damping effect when contacting the inner wall of the sleeve 400. By adjusting the material, thickness or hardness of the gaskets, the size of the friction force can be controlled.

[0036] In addition to relying on the damping effect, a mechanical locking mechanism, such as a lock catch or a circlip locking device, can also be introduced between the connecting part 700 and the sleeve 400. These mechanisms can be automatically locked when the sleeve slides to a specific position, improving the stability of the connection.

[0037] As Figure 2 shown, a footrest 600 is provided at the lower end of the folding rod 500, and a hand rope 101 is provided on the handgrip 100.

[0038] In other embodiments, according to the specific usage scenario, the foot cover can be replaced with other structures having similar functions, such as anti-slip pads, rubber foot pads, etc.
