[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0031] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 This invention describes the folding cane head and cane of the present invention.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, this utility model provides a folding cane head, including a connecting rod 1, a handle 2 and a locking assembly. The handle 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1, and the locking assembly is provided on the connecting rod 1. The locking assembly is used to restrict the rotation of the handle 2 relative to the connecting rod 1.

[0033] For ease of explanation, in this embodiment, each orientation is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0034] In the folding cane head provided in this embodiment, the handle 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1. The locking component can restrict the rotation of the handle 2 relative to the connecting rod 1. During normal use, the locking component keeps the handle 2 and the connecting rod 1 at a right angle, thereby providing good support for the user. When it is necessary to store or transport, the locking component is opened and the handle 2 is turned. More specifically, the handle 2 can be turned counterclockwise to form a stored state. The locking component keeps the handle 2 and the connecting rod 1 in a stored state, thereby reducing the space occupied by the cane head, making it more convenient to store, transport and carry.

[0035] In some embodiments, the locking assembly includes a locking member 3 and an elastic member 4. The handle 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 1 via a rotating shaft 5. The handle 2 is provided with a first locking groove 21 and a second locking groove 22. The first locking groove 21 and the second locking groove 22 are spaced apart along the circumference of the rotating shaft 5. The connecting rod 1 is provided with a receiving channel 11 that opens toward the handle 2. The locking member 3 and the elastic member 4 are both provided in the receiving channel 11. The elastic member 4 is connected to the locking member 3 to drive the locking member 3 to be inserted into the first locking groove 21 or the second locking groove 22.

[0036] Specifically, the receiving channel 11 extends vertically, with its lower end closed and opening upwards. The first locking groove 21 and the second locking groove 22 both open downwards. When the handle 2 is in a horizontal state, the elastic element 4 drives the locking element 3 to insert into the first locking groove 21, thereby preventing the handle 2 from rotating and improving stability during use. When the handle 2 is in a retracted state, the elastic element 4 drives the locking element 3 to insert into the second locking groove 22, thereby preventing the handle 2 from rotating and making it more convenient to retract.

[0037] In some embodiments, the rotating shaft 5 is composed of male and female screws, which can achieve the function of rotation while ensuring installation stability.

[0038] In some embodiments, the depth of the first locking groove 21 is greater than the depth of the second locking groove 22. It is understood that when the handle 2 is in a horizontal state, the overall structure is more stable, and the handle 2 can be more easily changed from a stored state to a horizontal state, making it more convenient to use.

[0039] In some embodiments, the elastic element 4 is a spring, and the locking element 3 is provided with a mounting groove 31 at one end away from the handle 2. A part of the spring is located in the mounting groove 31 and abuts against the locking element 3, and another part of the spring protrudes from the mounting groove 31 and abuts against the bottom surface of the receiving channel 11. Specifically, the mounting groove 31 opens to the downward side, and a part of the spring is located in the mounting groove 31, which can prevent the spring from shaking and can push the locking element 3 to be inserted into the first locking groove 21 or the second locking groove 22 more directly and accurately.

[0040] In some embodiments, the locking assembly further includes a toggle member 6. The side of the connecting rod 1 is provided with a toggle hole 12. The toggle member 6 passes through the toggle hole 12 and is connected to the locking member 3 to drive the locking member 3 closer to or away from the handle 2. By setting the toggle member 6, the position of the locking member 3 can be changed more conveniently. Specifically, when the handle 2 is in a horizontal state, the elastic member 4 can drive the locking member 3 to be inserted into the first locking groove 21. When it needs to be stored, the toggle member 6 is moved downward, and the toggle member 6 can drive the locking member 3 to move downward, thereby leaving the first locking groove 21. At this time, the handle 2 can be rotated to complete the storage. When the toggle member 6 is released, the elastic member 4 drives the locking member 3 to be inserted into the second locking groove 22 to complete the locking, so that the handle 2 is kept in the stored state, which is very convenient to operate.

[0041] In some embodiments, the toggle member 6 is a plastic part that can undergo a certain degree of deformation, making it more convenient to operate.

[0042] In some embodiments, the actuating member 6 includes an actuating part 61 and a connecting part 62. The actuating part 61 is located on the outer wall of the connecting rod 1, and the connecting part 62 passes through the actuating hole 12 and is connected to the locking member 3. The inner diameter of the actuating hole 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the connecting part 62, thereby providing room for the up and down movement of the connecting part 62, making it more convenient to operate.

[0043] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the connecting rod 1 is provided with a stop protrusion 13, and the actuating part 61 is provided in a stop groove 63 that is adapted to the stop protrusion 13. The end of the actuating part 61 near the handle 2 can abut against the stop protrusion 13. Specifically, when the handle 2 is in a horizontal state, the stop protrusion 13 is just stuck in the stop groove 63, which can prevent the actuating part 6 from moving itself and improve the stability of the overall structure during normal use. When the handle 2 is in a retracted state, the stop protrusion 13 will leave the stop groove 63, but the upper end of the actuating part 61 will abut against the stop protrusion 13. It can be understood that this can also prevent the actuating part 6 from moving itself and improve the stability of the overall structure in the retracted state.

[0044] In some embodiments, the surface of the toggle part 61 is provided with anti-slip texture, making it more convenient to toggle.

[0045] In some embodiments, the locking assembly further includes a locking screw 7, through which the locking member 3 is connected to the connecting part 62, which can more stably connect the locking member 3 and the toggle member 6 together, and also facilitates subsequent disassembly and replacement.

[0046] In some embodiments, the folding cane head also includes a shock-absorbing pad 8, which is disposed on the handle 2 and can abut against the connecting rod 1. When the handle 2 is in a horizontal state, by providing the shock-absorbing pad 8 at the point where the handle 2 contacts the connecting rod 1, shock absorption can be achieved, and the assembly gap between the handle 2 and the connecting rod 1 can be eliminated, making it more stable to use.

[0047] In some embodiments, the folding cane head also includes a dustproof rubber plug 110 to cover the locking screw 7, which can prevent dust and is more aesthetically pleasing.

[0048] In some embodiments, the folding cane head also includes a reflector located on the handle 2, which enhances its functionality.

[0049] This utility model also provides a cane, including a support rod 9 and the aforementioned folding cane head, wherein the support rod 9 is connected to the folding cane head.

[0050] The cane provided in this embodiment uses the aforementioned folding cane head, making it more convenient to store, transport, and carry.

[0051] The cane provided in this embodiment also includes a reinforcing rod 10. By setting the reinforcing rod 10 between the folding cane head and the support rod 9, the connection strength between the two can be improved, and the overall structure is more stable.

[0052] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
