[0019] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a trekking pole with an adjustable handle includes a pole 1 and a handle connected to the upper end of the pole 1. The handle includes a first handle 21, a second handle 22, and a connecting rod 23. One end of the first handle 21 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 23, and the other end of the connecting rod 23 is connected to the pole 1. The axis of the first handle 21 is perpendicular to the axis of the connecting rod 23.
[0021] One end of the first handle 21 is provided with a first inclined portion 210, and one end of the second handle 22 is provided with a second inclined portion 220. The axis of the first handle 21 forms a 45° angle with the first inclined portion 210, and the axis of the second handle 22 forms a 45° angle with the second inclined portion 220. One end of the second handle 22 is rotatably connected to one end of the first handle 21, and the second inclined portion 220 is correspondingly fitted with the first inclined portion 210. When the second handle 22 is rotated to the first state, the axis of the second handle 22 is on the same straight line as the axis of the first handle 21. Figure 1The handle is in a T-shaped state. When the second handle rod 22 is rotated to the second state, the axis of the second handle rod 22 and the axis of the connecting rod 23 are in the same straight line. Figure 2 The handle is shown in a straight position. The handle can be adjusted between a T-handle and a straight handle as needed, allowing users to enjoy the functions of two handles with just one purchase.
[0022] A rotation limiting mechanism is provided between the first and second handles 21 and 22, enclosing the lock body 3 and the lock slot 2201. A mounting cavity 211 extending along its axis is provided within the first handle 21, with one end opening into the first inclined surface 210. The lock body 3 is slidably connected within the mounting cavity 211 along its length. A dial groove 212 communicating with the mounting cavity 211 is provided on the outer wall of the first handle 21. A dial button 33 is provided on the lock body 3, slidably connected to the dial groove 212 and protruding from the outer wall of the first handle 21. The lock slot 2201 is located on the second inclined surface 220. One end of the lock body 3 extends out of the first inclined surface 210 and engages with the lock groove 2201. When the lock body 3 extends out of the first inclined surface 210 and engages with the lock slot 2201, the rotation limiting mechanism is locked. When the lock body 3 is released from the lock slot, the rotation limiting mechanism is unlocked. The lock body's movement is controlled by turning the dial button. There are two locking grooves 2201 , which can respectively cooperate with the lock body 3 when the second handle 22 rotates to the first state or the second state.
[0023] The lock body 3 comprises a lock head 31 and a lock tail 32. The outer diameter of the lock head 31 is smaller than that of the lock tail 32 and transitions to the lock body 32 via a stepped surface. The mounting cavity 211 comprises a first cavity 2111 and a second cavity 2112. The first cavity 2111 is located near one end of the first inclined surface 210. The inner diameter of the first cavity 2111 is smaller than that of the second cavity 2112 and transitions to the lock body 3 via a stepped surface. A reset mechanism is provided within the mounting cavity 211 to maintain the lock body 3's tendency to extend out of the first inclined surface 210. The reset mechanism comprises a spring 4, one end of which abuts the lock tail 32 and the other end abuts the end of the mounting cavity 211 away from the first inclined surface 210. When the spring 4 is extended, the lock body 3 extends toward the first inclined surface 210. The stepped surface between the lock head 31 and the lock tail 32 abuts the stepped surface between the first cavity 2111 and the second cavity 2112, preventing the lock body 3 from extending excessively. When the toggle button 33 is moved away from the first inclined surface 210, the spring 4 compresses.
[0024] The mounting cavity 211 is open at the end of the first handle 21 away from the first inclined portion 210 and is provided with an end cap 213. The lock tail 32 is provided with a spring slot 321. The inner wall of the end cap 213 is provided with a boss 2131. One end of the spring 4 is located in the spring slot 321, and the other end of the spring 4 is sleeved on the boss 2131. The end cap 213 is fixed to the first handle 21 with screws, which facilitates the installation of the spring 4 and the lock body 3.
[0025] The first inclined portion 210 is provided with a rotation groove 214, and the second inclined portion 220 is provided with a rotation post 221, which is rotatably connected to the rotation groove 214. Rotation between the first and second handle rods 21 and 22 is achieved via a screw. A nut is located at the center of the rotation post 221. The screw passes through the center of the rotation groove 214 and is threadedly connected to the nut at one end, as is conventional technology (not shown). The wall of the rotation groove 214 is provided with a circumferentially extending semi-annular recess 2141. A stopper 2211 is provided on the outer wall of the rotation post 221. The stopper 2211 engages within the recess 2141 to limit the maximum rotation angle of the second handle rod 22.
