[0003] In existing smart canes, the handle, shaft, and support legs provide auxiliary support to the user. However, due to the diverse types of canes, including walking sticks and four-legged canes, each type is suitable for different user needs and physical conditions. Consequently, the support legs need to be adjusted according to the user's situation. Adjusting the support legs requires using auxiliary tools to remove and replace the bolts connecting the support legs, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a smart cane. The smart cane includes a cane 1, a support frame 2 is provided at the bottom of the cane 1, a snap-fit component 3 is provided in the inner cavity of the support frame 2, and a stabilizing structure 4 is provided inside the cane 1, with the bottom of the stabilizing structure 4 extending into the inner cavity of the support frame 2.
[0024] Among them, the support frame 2 includes a connecting ring 201, the inner side of the connecting ring 201 is connected to the outer wall of the cane 1, and the outer surface of the connecting ring 201 is movably connected to the support seat 202;
[0025] The snap-fit assembly 3 includes a snap-fit block 301. The outer surface of the snap-fit block 301 is movably connected to the inner wall of the support base 202. The outer side of the snap-fit block 301 passes through the crutch 1 and extends into the interior of the support base 202. An mounting block 302 is provided on the outer surface of the snap-fit block 301. The snap-fit block 301 is elastically connected to the support base 202 by a spring 303.
[0026] By pulling the mounting block 302, the locking block 301 is moved out of the cane 1, releasing it from the cane 1. This allows the support base 202 to be removed from the connecting ring 201, thus forming a walking stick. Simultaneously, the elastic force of the spring 303 re-locks the support base 202 onto the cane 1. Since the bottom of the support base 202 is higher than the bottom of the cane 1, the cane 1 forms a four-legged walking stick, which facilitates the user's adjustment of the cane's style and makes it suitable for different occasions, bringing convenience to the user.
[0027] The cane 1 includes a telescopic rod 101, with a handle 102 at the top and a support foot 103 at the bottom.
[0028] The design of the telescopic rod 101 makes it easy to control the length of the cane 1, thus making it suitable for use by different people. At the same time, the rough bottom of the support foot 103 effectively prevents slipping.
[0029] Among them, a dynamic tracking and positioning monitoring mechanism 5 is provided inside the handle 102, and a groove is provided on the top of the handle 102;
[0030] The dynamic tracking and positioning monitoring mechanism 5 can be set as a GPS locator, which can track and view the location and status of people in real time. The smart cane can be monitored in real time through the network via the dynamic tracking and positioning monitoring mechanism 5, which makes it convenient for family members to keep track of the whereabouts of people at any time, increasing the safety of use. At the same time, the groove increases the contact area between the hand and the handle 102, making it more convenient to use.
[0031] The handle 102 has a reminder mechanism 6 inside, and a broadcast component 7 located below the reminder mechanism 6 inside the handle 102.
[0032] The reminder device 6 is set as a miniature recorder, which is set to start on a timer by pre-recording the child's voice. The broadcasting component 7 is set as a microphone, which broadcasts the pre-recorded voice to remind the user to take the medication on time, thereby improving medication adherence and reducing the risk of missing or taking the wrong dose.
[0033] Both the support base 202 and the support foot 103 are equipped with rubber pads at the bottom, and they are in the shape of a round arc.
[0034] By designing the rubber feet into an arc shape, the friction with the ground is increased, preventing slippage and providing good support. At the same time, the rubber feet provide good grip and shock absorption, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
[0035] Example 2
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment includes the features of embodiment 1. The distinguishing technical feature is that the stabilizing structure 4 includes a movable block 401. The outer surface of the movable block 401 is movably connected to the inner cavity of the telescopic rod 101. A positioning rod 402 is provided at the bottom of the movable block 401, and the bottom of the positioning rod 402 passes through the locking block 301.
[0037] The positioning rod 402 is designed to achieve the locking effect of the reinforcing block 301 on the support base 202, preventing the support base 202 from falling off when the cane 1 is in use, thus avoiding potential safety hazards.
[0038] Among them, the top of the movable block 401 is connected to the second spring 403, and the other end of the second spring 403 is connected to the inner wall of the telescopic rod 101;
[0039] At this time, since the second spring 403 is in a compressed state, it will apply a downward pressure to the movable block 401, which will then drive the positioning rod 402 to engage inside the locking block 301, thereby strengthening the connection between the support base 202 and the cane 1 and preventing it from coming off.
[0040] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0041] First, when the user adjusts the style of the cane 1, they pull the movable block 401 upwards, causing the positioning rod 402 to move out of the locking block 301, thus releasing it from its fixation. Then, they pull the mounting block 302 outwards, causing the locking block 301 to move out of the telescopic rod 101. Next, the support base 202 is detached from the connecting ring 201. When the support base 202 needs to be reinstalled, the mounting block 302 is pulled, and the support base 202 is then fitted onto the connecting ring. On the connecting ring 201, the movable block 401 is then pulled, causing the positioning rod 402 to release its obstruction of the locking block 301. Through the elastic force of the first spring 303, the locking block 301 is engaged inside the telescopic rod 101. And through the elastic force of the second spring 403, the movable block 401 is engaged inside the locking block 301 to reinforce the installation of the support base 202. This allows users to easily change the style of the cane 1 for use in different occasions by disassembling and assembling the support base 202, making it convenient for users to use.
