Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an integrated foldable mop rod, belonging to the technical field of mop rods. Background Art

[0002] Ticks are important vectors of several infectious diseases. Hospitals and disease control agencies use tick trapping for disease monitoring and prevention. Tick trapping allows for the collection of samples and testing for pathogens, thereby understanding the prevalence of tick-borne diseases and providing a scientific basis for prevention and treatment. Furthermore, tick population distribution, activity patterns, and habitats directly influence the risk of disease transmission. Regular tick trapping and data analysis can assess the potential for human and animal exposure to tick-borne diseases and inform the development of targeted prevention and control measures. Scientific research on ticks provides foundational data for the development of new vaccines, medications, and other prevention and control measures.

[0003] Currently, the most commonly used method for trapping ticks is the "tick rod sampling method," which uses a piece of white cloth to trap ticks in target areas such as grasslands and woodlands where ticks are active. The specific steps are as follows: (1) Prepare the tick rod and the attached white cloth or gauze (usually lightweight and tick-friendly); (2) The operator slowly drags the tick rod across the target area, ensuring that the white cloth contacts the vegetation surface to increase the likelihood of tick attachment; (3) After dragging, stop and inspect the cloth surface periodically. If any attached ticks are found, remove them with tweezers or a specialized tool and place them in a specimen container.

[0004] Existing tick-trapping poles have a relatively simple structure, consisting of a white cloth fixed to the end of a pole for tracing ticks. If the pole is short, tracing ticks can only be performed within a small area on either side of the road, and areas slightly beyond the pole cannot be swept. If the pole is long, it will be difficult to use in densely wooded forests, resulting in low tick-trapping efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, an integrated foldable dragging rod is designed, which can be extended and folded as needed, and the folding part has high strength and can be used for dragging operations. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an integrated foldable mop rod, which solves the problem that the current mop rod cannot change its length and holding direction according to the environment or usage.

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0008] An integrated foldable tick-trapping rod comprises a rod body and a cloth flag fixed to the rod body for absorbing ticks. The rod body comprises a handheld rod for holding, a fixed rod for fixing the cloth flag, and a folding assembly connecting the handheld rod and the fixed rod.

[0009] The folding kit includes a connecting seat, a vertical connecting piece, a clamping piece, and an adjusting sleeve;

[0010] Wherein, the connecting seat is fixed to the end of the handheld rod;

[0011] The vertical connecting piece is perpendicular to the hand-held rod and fixed to the first connecting seat, and the unfixed end of the vertical connecting piece is an arc end, and a plurality of inwardly concave positioning grooves are provided on the outer circumference of the arc end;

[0012] One end of the clamping piece is connected to the end of the fixing rod, and the middle part of the other end of the clamping piece is cut into a clamping cavity. The arc end of the vertical connecting piece is hinged in the clamping cavity through a riveted pin. A raised step portion is provided on the clamping piece near one end of the fixing rod, and an oblong hole is opened on the clamping piece between the riveted pin and the step portion.

[0013] The adjusting sleeve is sleeved on the step portion, and a return spring is provided between the step portion and the adjusting sleeve. The adjusting sleeve is movably mounted on the clamping member via a positioning pin passing through the oblong hole. The return spring pushes the positioning pin of the adjusting sleeve along the oblong hole into the positioning groove at the arc end.

[0014] The arc end of the vertical connecting piece is provided with three clamping grooves, and the clamping grooves are located in the three directions where the fixing rod and the hand-held rod maintain 180 degrees, 90 degrees, and 0 degrees.

[0015] Preferably, the handheld rod is an extendable telescopic rod.

[0016] Preferably, the end of the fixing rod is provided with a tether hole for fixing the cloth flag.

[0017] Preferably, the outer circumference of the adjustment sleeve is provided with a raised ring.

[0018] Preferably, the clamping member has a built-in bearing, and the fixing rod is coaxially rotatably connected to the clamping member via the bearing.

[0019] The beneficial effect of the present utility model is that a split structure is adopted to divide a drag pole body into a hand-held pole, a fixed pole and a folding component. By switching between multiple gears of the folding component, the hand-held pole and the fixed pole can be in three states: fully expanded, vertically expanded, and fully folded to adapt to different working scenarios.

[0030] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the one-piece foldable tick drag pole includes a tick drag pole body, which is made of lightweight aluminum alloy material, and a cloth flag 1 fixed on the tick drag pole body for absorbing ticks. The cloth flag 1 is made of soft white cotton cloth. The tick drag pole body consists of a hand-held pole 2 for holding, a fixed pole 3 for fixing the cloth flag 1, and a folding component 4 that connects the hand-held pole 2 and the fixed pole 3 together.

[0032] The handheld rod 2 adopts a rod of fixed length or a commercially available multi-section telescopic rod. The handheld rod 2 adopts an extendable telescopic rod 201 to help extend the tick dragging radius, thereby dragging ticks in a larger range.

[0033] The folding kit includes a connecting seat 401 , a vertical connecting piece 402 , a clamping piece 403 , and an adjusting sleeve 404 .

[0034] The connecting base 401 is fixed to the end of the hand-held rod 2. The connecting base 401 and the end of the hand-held rod 2 can be fixed by screwing in a screw from the side. The connecting base 401 and the end of the hand-held rod 2 can also be fixed by riveting with a rivet that penetrates from the side.

[0035] The vertical connecting piece 402 is perpendicular to the handle 2 and fixed to the first connecting seat 401. The vertical connecting piece 402 is welded to the first connecting seat 401. The unfixed end of the vertical connecting piece 402 is an arc end 405, and the outer circumference of the arc end 405 is provided with a plurality of inwardly concave positioning grooves 406.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, three levels of latching slots 406 are provided, corresponding to the 0° direction (such as Figure 5 ), which is equivalent to folding in half; the 90° direction of the vertical state (such as Figure 6 ), which is equivalent to vertical half-expansion; the fully expanded 180° direction (such as Figure 8 ), which is equivalent to extension.

[0037] One end of the clamping member 403 is connected to the end of the fixed rod 3. A clamping cavity 407 is cut into the middle of the other end of the clamping member 403. Clamping cavity 407 is open on three sides, and the vertical connecting piece 402 extends into the clamping cavity 407, connecting the two in a rotatable manner. The arcuate end 405 of the vertical connecting piece 402 is hinged within the clamping cavity 407 via a rivet pin 408. A raised step 409 is provided on the clamping member 403 near one end of the fixed rod 3. An oblong hole 410 is provided in the clamping member 403 between the rivet pin 408 and the step 409.

[0038] In order to achieve 3-speed adjustment, an adjustment sleeve 404 structure is provided:

[0039] The adjusting sleeve 404 is sleeved on the step portion 409, and a return spring 411 is provided between the step portion 409 and the adjusting sleeve 404. The adjusting sleeve 404 is movably mounted on the clamping member 403 through a locking pin 412 passing through the oblong hole 410. The return spring 411 pushes the locking pin 412 of the adjusting sleeve 404 along the oblong hole 410 into the locking groove 406 of the arc end 405.

[0040] like Figure 4As shown, the adjustment sleeve 404 is pushed upward by the compressed return spring 411 , pushing the locking pin 412 on the adjustment sleeve 404 along the oblong hole 410 into the locking groove 406 of the arc end 405 .

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, when a gear shift is required, the adjusting sleeve 404 is manually pulled downward to compress the return spring 411, pulling the locking pin 412 downward along the oblong hole 410 and disengaging it from the locking groove 406 of the arc end 405, while simultaneously rotating the fixed rod 3. When the fixed rod 3 approaches the next gear, the adjusting sleeve 404 is released, and under the restoring force of the return spring 411, the locking pin 412 slides along the oblong hole 410 into the other locking groove 406 of the arc end 405.

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, in order to facilitate the fixation of the cloth flag 1 , a tie rope for fixing the cloth flag 1 to the fixing rod 3 is provided on the cloth flag 1 .

[0043] The end of the fixing rod 3 is provided with a tether hole 301 for fixing the cloth flag 1. The tether hole 301 at one end of the fixing rod 3 is tied together to prevent the cloth flag 1 from being lost.

[0044] In order to facilitate manual pulling down of the adjusting sleeve 404, a raised ring 413 is provided on the outer circumference of the adjusting sleeve 404. The raised ring 413 can play an anti-slip effect when pulling down and also makes the force-bearing surface larger.

[0045] To facilitate the rolling up and storage of the flag 1, a bearing 5 is built into the clamp 403, and the fixed rod 3 is coaxially connected to the clamp 403 via the bearing 5. When the flag 1 needs to be stored, the handheld rod 2 and the fixed rod 3 are first folded to 0°, then the handheld rod 2 and the fixed rod 3 are held horizontally. At this time, the flag 1 is unfolded vertically downward, and the fixed rod 3 is then rotated (the fixed rod 3 is connected to the clamp 403 via the bearing 5 and can rotate relative to the clamp 403) to roll up the flag 1, similar to the retracted state of a rolling shutter.

[0046] A split structure is adopted to divide a drag pole body into a hand-held pole 2, a fixed pole 3 and a folding component 4. By switching between multiple gears of the folding component 4, the hand-held pole 2 and the fixed pole 3 can be in three states: fully expanded, vertically expanded and fully folded to adapt to different working scenarios.

[0047] The specific usage scenarios of the three states are as follows:

[0048] (1) State 1, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, when the fixing rod 3 and the hand-held rod 2 maintain 0°, it is in a completely folded state. The user can roll the cloth flag 1 on the fixing rod 3 and place it in a strip-shaped storage bag for easy carrying.

[0049] (2) State 2, such as Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown, when the fixed rod 3 and the hand-held rod 2 maintain a 90° angle, they are in a vertically expanded state (semi-folded state). The 90° vertically expanded state is to allow the user to no longer need to bend over to drag ticks. When using existing ordinary dragging rods to drag ticks in shorter places, users often need to bend over, and dragging ticks for a long time will cause back pain in the user. When the present dragging rod is in a 90° vertically expanded state, the user uses a standing and walking method to drag ticks. By holding the end of the hand-held rod 2, the fixed rod 3 and the cloth flag 1 are extended to the shorter grass on the ground to drag ticks. For very short grass, a retractable hand-held rod 2 can be used, and the hand-held rod 2 can be extended to its longest length so that the fixed rod 3 and the cloth flag 1 are always close to the working surface.

[0050] (3) State three, such as Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, when the fixed rod 3 and the handheld rod 2 maintain a 180-degree angle, they are in the fully extended state. When the user needs to stand by the road and drag in a deep area, they often need to stretch their arms and lean forward to extend the drag rod as much as possible. Therefore, two modes of extension and folding are designed: for closer areas, the drag can be carried out directly; for areas beyond the arm's reach and without a way to enter the grass, the fully extended state can be used for dragging; if the fully extended state is not long enough, the retractable handheld rod 2 can be used, and the handheld rod 2 can be extended to its maximum length to gradually drag the rod away.

[0051] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and that various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
