Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tourism equipment, specifically referring to a hiking stick. Background Technology
[0002] Trekking poles are essential equipment for hiking and mountaineering activities. Currently, there are many types of trekking poles on the market. Their basic structure consists of a handle and a shaft. Common handle shapes are L-shaped and I-shaped. L-shaped handles conform to the human hand's grip, providing effective wrist support and reducing fatigue when climbing steep terrain. I-shaped handles, on the other hand, allow users to adjust their grip more easily on flat surfaces, adapting to the needs of long-distance walking.
[0003] However, most trekking poles have a fixed handle shape that cannot be switched, requiring users to frequently change trekking poles for different terrains, which is extremely inconvenient. Some trekking poles with switchable handles use a threaded connection, which requires unscrewing the handle to switch, making the operation cumbersome and requiring an extra spare handle to be carried, increasing the burden of travel.
[0004] In actual mountain climbing, the terrain is complex and varied. Users may face alternating road conditions from steep slopes to flat mountain paths in a short period of time. If the handle cannot be switched quickly, it will not only affect walking efficiency, but may also cause wrist and arm fatigue due to the incompatibility of the handle, and even increase the risk of accidents. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above situation and to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a hiking pole that effectively solves the problem that existing hiking poles cannot easily switch handle shapes.
[0006] To achieve the above functions, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a hiking pole, including a handle and a pole, wherein the handle can switch between L-shaped and I-shaped usage modes around the pole axis, a connecting plate is fixed to the end of the handle, a connecting shaft is fixed through the top of the pole, the connecting plate is rotatably mounted on the connecting shaft, and four limiting holes are equally spaced on the side wall of the connecting plate with the connecting shaft as the center, and a limiting bracket is inserted into the limiting holes.
[0007] Preferably, two sets of limiting rods penetrating the limiting frame are fixed on the outer end face of the connecting shaft. A limiting end plate is fixed to one end of the limiting rod, and two springs are sleeved on the limiting rod. One spring is fixed between the limiting frame and the connecting shaft, and the other spring is fixed between the limiting end plate and the limiting frame.
[0008] Preferably, the limiting frame has a U-shaped structure and is inserted into two sets of limiting holes simultaneously.
[0009] Preferably, the handle is provided with anti-slip textures and anti-slip strips at the top and bottom, respectively, both of which are made of rubber. The anti-slip textures conform to the fingerprint patterns, and a fixing strap is also fixed on the handle.
[0010] Preferably, the handle and the connecting plate are integrally formed to ensure connection strength, and the staff is a telescopic staff.
[0011] Preferably, two sets of limiting baffles are fixed at both ends of the connecting shaft and abut against the inner sidewall of the connecting plate, and the contact surfaces of the limiting baffles and the connecting plate are smooth.
[0012] The beneficial effects achieved by adopting the above-described structure are as follows:
[0013] 1. This application allows for quick switching between L-shaped and I-shaped handles by simply pulling the limit bracket outward, rotating the handle, and then releasing the limit bracket. This eliminates the need for complicated disassembly and installation steps, greatly improving ease of use and enabling climbers to quickly adjust to a comfortable grip position on different terrains.
[0014] 2. Hikers no longer need to carry two different types of trekking poles or extra spare handles, reducing the weight of their gear, freeing up backpack space, and making the hiking process easier.
[0015] 3. The interchangeable handle design can better adapt to different terrain walking needs, reduce wrist and arm fatigue caused by unsuitable handle shape, improve the mountaineering experience, and reduce the risk of sports injury. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. The utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model proposes a hiking pole, including a handle 1 and a pole 2. The handle 1 can switch between L-shaped and I-shaped usage modes around the axis of the pole 2. A connecting plate 3 is fixed to the end of the handle 1. The handle 1 and the connecting plate 3 are integrally formed to ensure connection strength. The pole 2 is a telescopic pole for easy carrying. A connecting shaft 4 is fixedly inserted through the top of the pole 2. The connecting plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the connecting shaft 4. Four limiting holes 5 are equally spaced on the side wall of the connecting plate 3 with the connecting shaft 4 as the center. Limiting brackets 6 are inserted into the limiting holes 5 to limit the connection plate 3 and the handle 1. The limiting brackets 6 have a U-shaped structure and are inserted into two sets of limiting holes 5 at the same time to increase connection strength and stability.
[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, two sets of limiting rods 7 that penetrate the limiting frame 6 are fixed on the outer end face of the connecting shaft 4. One end of the limiting rod 7 is fixed with a limiting end plate 8. Two springs 9 are sleeved on the limiting rod 7, one of which is fixed between the limiting frame 6 and the connecting shaft 4, and the other is fixed between the limiting end plate 8 and the limiting frame 6.
[0026] like Figure 4As shown, the handle 1 is provided with anti-slip texture 10 and anti-slip strip 11 at the top and bottom respectively, both of which are made of rubber. The anti-slip texture 10 conforms to the fingerprint pattern to increase stability. The handle 1 is also fixed with a fixing strap 12 to help fix the hand and prevent the handle 1 from falling out of the hand.
[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, two sets of limiting baffles 13 are fixed at both ends of the connecting shaft 4 and abut against the inner sidewall of the connecting plate 3 to limit the connection plate 3. The contact surfaces of the limiting baffles 13 and the connecting plate 3 are smooth to reduce friction.
[0028] In practical use, when it is necessary to switch the handle 1 from L-type to I-type or vice versa, the user pushes or pulls the limiting bracket 6 outwards to move the limiting bracket 6 out of the limiting hole 5, thereby releasing the limiting fixation on the connecting plate 3. Then, the handle 1 is rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise around the connecting shaft 4 to adjust to the I-type position. At this time, the limiting bracket 6 is aligned with the limiting hole 5. The limiting bracket 6 is released, and under the action of the spring 9's own restoring force, the limiting bracket 6 is inserted into the limiting hole 5, completing the switching and fixing of the handle 1.
[0029] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
