[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pressure rod is released, the small ball can be quickly pushed out, so that the small ball blocks the movement of the protrusion, that is, it can be quickly locked.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The main body of the device includes a first connecting rod, and a first groove is formed on the surface of the first connecting rod. The surface of the first connecting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the first groove opened on the surface of the first connecting rod allows the protrusion fixed on the surface of the second connecting rod to slide smoothly inside the first groove.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The inner wall of the first connecting rod is equipped with a telescopic mechanism, which includes a second connecting rod. The surface of the second connecting rod is movably connected to the inner wall of the first connecting rod. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the surface of the second connecting rod. The protrusion is located inside the first groove. A second groove is formed on the lower surface of the protrusion. A pad is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second connecting rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the second connecting rod can extend and retract inside the first connecting rod to change the length of the trekking pole.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the third groove on the surface of the connecting ring is used to fix the fixing block.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The surface of the fixing block is provided with a second through hole, the inner wall of the second through hole is movably connected to the surface of the third connecting rod, and the right side surface of the fixing block is provided with a sixth groove, the inner wall of the sixth groove is in contact with the surface of the ball.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the third connecting rod can rise and fall inside the fixed block.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] A second inclined block is fixedly connected to the left side surface of the ball. A fifth groove is formed on the lower surface of the fixed block. The first inclined block is installed inside the fifth groove, and the surface of the first inclined block is in contact with the surface of the second inclined block.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first inclined block rises, it will push the second inclined block to the right, thereby pushing the ball to the right to lock it.

[0023] 1. This utility model is equipped with a pressure rod, a first inclined block, and a small ball. When the length of the trekking pole needs to be adjusted, the pressure rod protruding from the surface of the connecting ring is pressed down. The first connecting rod fixed on the lower surface of the pressure rod drives the fourth connecting rod and the first inclined block to move downward. At this time, the small ball rebounds due to the elastic force of the second spring fixed on the surface and moves to the left. At this time, the second connecting rod inside the first connecting rod can easily extend and retract. When the pressure rod is released, the small ball can be quickly pushed out, so that the small ball blocks the movement of the protrusion, that is, locking. This utility model can achieve quick locking when in use, improving practicality.

[0024] 2. This utility model is equipped with a pressure rod and a connecting ring. When in use, the protruding part of the pressure rod is on the upper surface of the connecting ring. Therefore, when using the trekking pole, even when seeking support, the hands are held on the surface of the connecting ring and will not press on the upper surface of the connecting ring, nor will it affect the locking of the trekking pole, thus improving the practicality of this utility model.

A locking mechanism 5 is installed on the inner wall of the connecting mechanism 3. The locking mechanism 5 includes a fixing block 501. A second spring 504 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing block 501. A small ball 503 is fixedly connected to the end of the second spring 504. When the length of the trekking pole needs to be adjusted, the pressure rod 401 protruding from the surface of the connecting ring 301 is pressed down. The first connecting rod 101 fixed on the lower surface of the pressure rod 401 drives the fourth connecting rod 404 and the first inclined block 405 to move downward. At this time, the small ball 503 rebounds due to the elastic force of the second spring 504 fixed on the surface and moves to the left. At this time, the second connecting rod 201 inside the first connecting rod 101 can easily extend and retract. When the pressure rod 401 is released, the small ball 503 can be quickly pushed out, so that the small ball 503 blocks the movement of the protrusion 202, that is, locking.

[0031] The main body 1 of the device includes a first connecting rod 101. A first groove 102 is formed on the surface of the first connecting rod 101. The surface of the first connecting rod 101 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring 301. The first groove 102 on the surface of the first connecting rod 101 allows the protrusion 202 fixed on the surface of the second connecting rod 201 to slide smoothly inside the first groove 102. A telescopic mechanism 2 is installed on the inner wall of the first connecting rod 101. The telescopic mechanism 2 includes a second connecting rod 201. The surface of the second connecting rod 201 is movably connected to the inner wall of the first connecting rod 101. A protrusion 202 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second connecting rod 201. The protrusion 202 is located inside the first groove 102. A second groove 203 is formed on the lower surface of the protrusion 202. A pad 204 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second connecting rod 201. The second connecting rod 201 can slide smoothly inside the first connecting rod 101. The length of the trekking pole is changed by telescopic movement of the internal parts of the 1. The surface of the connecting ring 301 has a third groove 302. The outer wall of the fixing block 501 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the third groove 302. The surface of the fixing block 501 has a second through hole 502. The inner wall of the second through hole 502 is movably connected to the surface of the third connecting rod 403. The right side surface of the fixing block 501 has a sixth groove 507. The inner wall of the sixth groove 507 is in contact with the surface of the ball 503. The left side surface of the ball 503 is fixedly connected to a second inclined block 505. The lower surface of the fixing block 501 has a fifth groove 506. The first inclined block 405 is installed inside the fifth groove 506. The surface of the first inclined block 405 is in contact with the surface of the second inclined block 505. When the first inclined block 405 rises, it will push the second inclined block 505 to the right, thus pushing the ball 503 to the right to lock it.

[0032] Working principle: When the length of the trekking pole needs to be adjusted, press the protruding pressure rod 401 on the surface of the connecting ring 301. The first connecting rod 101 fixed on the lower surface of the pressure rod 401 drives the fourth connecting rod 404 and the first inclined block 405 to move downward. At this time, the small ball 503 rebounds due to the elastic force of the second spring 504 fixed on the surface and moves to the left. At this time, the second connecting rod 201 inside the first connecting rod 101 can easily extend and retract. When the pressure rod 401 is released, the small ball 503 can be quickly pushed out, so that the small ball 503 blocks the movement of the protrusion 202, i.e., locking. The protruding part of the pressure rod 401 is on the upper surface of the connecting ring 301. Therefore, when using the trekking pole, even when seeking support, the hands are held on the surface of the connecting ring 301 without pressing on the upper surface of the connecting ring 301, and it will not affect the locking of the trekking pole, thus improving the practicality of this utility model.
