Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trekking poles, and in particular to a trekking pole with a camera function. Background Technology
[0002] Hiking poles are auxiliary equipment used in mountaineering. Hiking poles can bring many benefits to outdoor mountaineering and trekking activities, such as improving walking stability and reducing the burden on the legs. When walking, using trekking poles can reduce the force exerted on the muscles and joints of the legs and knees by at least 22%, making the legs feel more comfortable.
[0003] Most trekking poles on the market cannot securely hold a mobile phone. A patent application with application number 202411173668.6 discloses a mounting bracket for use with trekking poles. The mounting bracket has a fixing cover with an elastic buckle at the front end. A fixing sleeve is formed between the fixing cover and the elastic buckle, which is detachably snapped into the head of the trekking pole handle. The top of the fixing cover has a fixing component for connecting functional devices or the pole body, wherein the functional device is a mobile phone, camera or flashlight.
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, the phone is fixed to the support of the trekking pole, allowing the trekking pole to be used as a selfie stick. However, when using this trekking pole for selfies, it is inconvenient for the user to press the phone's shutter button when the phone's camera on the trekking pole is far from the user. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a trekking pole with a convenient shooting function, based on the current state of the technology.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a hiking pole with a shooting function, including a support rod and a handle set at one end of the support rod, and a fixed support for holding a mobile phone. The fixed support can be detachably installed on the support rod by means of a clamp. The handle is provided with a switch for controlling the shooting function of the mobile phone.
[0007] Preferably, the switch is connected to the mobile phone via Bluetooth. Using this solution, Bluetooth connection improves the compatibility between the switch and the mobile phone, while simplifying the wiring connections of traditional electrical wires.
[0008] Preferably, a connecting seat is provided at the lower part of the grip, and the switch is detachably mounted on the connecting seat. This design allows users to remotely control their mobile phone for taking photos even when they are far from the trekking poles.
[0009] Preferably, the connecting seat includes a seat body sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the support rod, and an installation groove is provided on the outer wall of the seat body. The switch slides into the installation groove from the opening end and is inserted into the installation groove. The switch is provided with a button. A spring is provided on the bottom wall of the installation groove. The spring is provided with a protruding post that protrudes outward along the seat body and is used to abut against the lower part of the switch.
[0010] Using the above solution, users can control their mobile phones to take pictures by pressing the button, and can use the hiking stick as a selfie stick; at the same time, by moving the spring, the protrusion can be released from blocking the switch, and the switch can be removed from the connector; then the switch can be used to remotely control the mobile phone to take pictures.
[0011] Preferably, the fixed support includes a fixing part and a clamping part, the clamping part being disposed on the fixing part for clamping the mobile phone; the fixing part includes a locking member and a first clamping piece and a second clamping piece spaced apart, the gap between the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece being used to accommodate the support rod, the locking member being used to adjust the size of the gap between the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece, the locking member including a screw rod passing through the two clamping pieces and a nut disposed at one end of the screw rod. Using the above solution, by adjusting the relative position of the nut on the screw rod, the size of the gap between the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece is changed, thereby allowing the fixed support to be installed on the support rod or removed from the support rod.
[0012] Preferably, the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are independently arranged. The first clamping piece has a positioning post on the side near the second clamping piece, and the second clamping piece has a positioning hole through which the positioning post passes. With this design, during the installation of the fixed support on the support rod, the first and second clamping pieces move closer together, with the gap between them decreasing in size, facilitating the placement of the support rod within the gap and adapting to support rods of different thicknesses. In other embodiments, the first and second clamping pieces are integrally arranged. Although this structure has stronger overall integrity, the gap between the first and second clamping pieces is relatively fixed, and the adjustment range of the locking element is limited.
[0013] Preferably, a rotating mechanism for rotating the clamping part is provided between the fixing part and the clamping part. This design facilitates user adjustment of the phone's angle.
[0014] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft disposed at the end of the fixed portion away from the first clamping piece, and the rotating shaft is arranged radially along the support rod; the clamping portion is connected to the rotating shaft. This design not only facilitates the user in adjusting the angle of the phone, but also allows the clamping portion to be flipped and folded towards the support rod when the phone is not in use.
[0015] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a ball disposed on the clamping part; the end of the fixing part away from the first clamping piece is provided with a connecting hole for accommodating the ball, and the ball can rotate within the connecting hole so that the clamping part can rotate relative to the fixing part. This design facilitates multi-angle adjustment of the phone's angle by the user.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the handle of the trekking pole is equipped with a switch for controlling the mobile phone's shooting function. When the mobile phone on the trekking pole is far away from the human body, the user does not need to operate the mobile phone manually, but can take pictures through the switch on the handle, which is simple and convenient; at the same time, the fixed support can be detached and installed at any position on the support rod by means of a clamp; and the clamp structure can be steplessly adjusted to match support rods of different diameters.

[0021] Figure 5 for Figure 4 A partial exploded view of a trekking pole. Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figures 1-2 The diagram shows a preferred embodiment of the trekking pole with a camera function of this invention. The trekking pole includes a support rod 1 and a handle 2 located at one end of the support rod 1. A mounting bracket 3 for holding a mobile phone is provided on the support rod 1. A switch 4 for controlling the mobile phone's camera function is located at the lower part of the handle 2, and a button 41 for taking a photo is provided on the switch 4. The switch 4 is connected to the mobile phone via Bluetooth. Bluetooth connection improves the compatibility between the switch 4 and the mobile phone, allowing one switch 4 to connect to different mobile phones.
[0025] refer to Figure 4As shown, a connecting seat 5 is provided at the lower part of the handle 2. The connecting seat 5 includes a seat body 50 sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the support rod 1. An installation groove 51 is provided on the outer wall of the seat body 50. A rib 511 extending along the axial direction of the support rod 1 is provided on the left and right side walls of the installation groove 51. Correspondingly, a long groove 42 adapted to the rib 511 is provided on the left and right side walls of the switch 4. At the same time, a spring piece 52 extending downward along the axial direction of the seat body 50 is provided on the bottom wall of the installation groove 51. A protruding post 521 protruding radially outward along the seat body 50 and used to block the lower part of the switch 4 is provided on the spring piece 52. In this embodiment, the switch 4 is placed in the mounting groove 51, and the lower part of the switch 4 is blocked by the protrusion 521, thereby limiting the four side walls of the switch 4 by the mounting groove 51. At the same time, the cooperation between the protrusion 511 and the long groove 42 prevents the switch 4 from falling out of the opening of the mounting groove 51. By moving the spring piece 52 toward the support rod 1, the blocking of the protrusion 521 on the switch 4 is released, and the switch 4 can be removed from the connecting seat 5. The switch 4 is detachably installed in the mounting groove 51, allowing the user to remotely control the mobile phone to take pictures even when away from the hiking pole.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the fixed support 3 includes a fixing part 31 and a clamping part 32. The clamping part 32 is disposed on the fixing part 31 for clamping the mobile phone. The clamping part 32 is similar to the clamping part of existing mobile phone holders, and can be extended and flexible to accommodate mobile phones of different widths. At the end of the fixing part 31 away from the clamping part 32, there are first clamping pieces 311 and second clamping pieces 312 arranged at intervals. The first clamping pieces 311 and second clamping pieces 312 are designed as a single piece, and the gap between the first clamping pieces 311 and second clamping pieces 312 is used to accommodate the support rod 1. A screw 3 passes through the two clamping pieces. 13. A nut 314 is provided at one end of the screw 313, and an adjustment knob 315 is provided at the other end of the screw 313. Adjusting the relative position of the screw 313 and the nut 314 can change the size of the gap between the first clamping plate 311 and the second clamping plate 312. Tightening the screw 313 makes the gap between the first clamping plate 311 and the second clamping plate 312 smaller, so that the fixed support 3 is installed on the support rod 1. Loosening the screw 313 makes the gap between the first clamping plate 311 and the second clamping plate 312 larger, so that the fixed support 3 can be removed from the support rod 1.
[0027] The usage process of the hiking pole with shooting function in this embodiment is as follows: First, tighten the screw 313 to fix the fixed support 3 on the support rod 1, and place the mobile phone on the clamping part 32; then press the spring 52 to push the switch 4 from bottom to top into the mounting groove 51, release the spring 52, and the switch 4 is limited on the connecting seat 5. Next, connect the mobile phone and the switch 4 via Bluetooth, adjust the shooting angle of the clamping part 32, and press the button 41 on the switch 4 to take a picture while holding the handle 2.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the difference from Embodiment 1 is only that the first clip 311 and the second clip 312 are independently arranged, and the second clip 312 can be detached from the fixing part 31. Figure 3 As shown, the first clamping piece 311 has two positioning posts 311a on the side near the second clamping piece 312, and the second clamping piece 312 has two positioning holes 312a for the corresponding positioning posts 311a to pass through. The connection between the first clamping piece 311 and the second clamping piece 312 is secure through the fixing action of the screw 313 and the nut 314. Using the above scheme, during the installation of the fixed support 3 on the support rod 1, the first clamping piece 311 and the second clamping piece 312 move closer together, with the gap between them decreasing from large to small, facilitating the placement of the support rod 1 within the gap. Simultaneously, the adjustable space between the first clamping piece 311 and the second clamping piece 312 is large, allowing the fixed support 3 in Embodiment 2 to accommodate support rods 1 of different thicknesses. In Embodiment 1, the first clamping piece 311 and the second clamping piece 312 are integrally set. Although this structure has strong overall integrity, the gap between the first clamping piece 311 and the second clamping piece 312 is relatively fixed, and the adjustment range of the locking element is limited, only suitable for support rods 1 within a fixed diameter range.
[0030] Example 3
[0031] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the only difference from Embodiment 1 is that the fixed support 3 further includes a first connecting member 33 and a second connecting member 34. Along the radial outward direction of the support rod 1, the fixing part 31, the first connecting member 33, the second connecting member 34, and the clamping part 32 are arranged sequentially. A rotating shaft 31a, arranged radially along the support rod 1, is provided at the upper end of the outer side of the fixing part 31. The first connecting member 33 is rotatably connected to the fixing part 31 through this rotating shaft 31a, thereby causing the first connecting member 33, the second connecting member 34, and the clamping part 32 to flip upward around the rotating shaft 31a. This design not only facilitates the user's adjustment of the phone's angle but also allows the clamping part 32 to be flipped and folded towards the support rod 1 when the phone is not in use. To prevent the first connecting member 33 from moving arbitrarily with the rotating shaft 31a, a limiting hole 31b is provided on the outer wall of the fixing part 31, and a corresponding limiting block is provided on the first connecting member 33.
[0032] The first connector 33 and the second connector 34 are fixedly connected by threads. The second connector 34 has a connecting hole 341 on the side away from the first connector 33. A ball 321 is provided on the clamping part 32, and the ball 321 can rotate within the connecting hole 341, allowing the clamping part 32 to rotate relative to the second connector 34. This design facilitates multi-angle adjustment of the phone's angle by the user.
