[0002] During outdoor adventure activities, participating teams need to carry various tools for wilderness survival, such as drinking water, flashlights and lighters, as well as shovels for digging.
[0003] Most outdoor shovels are generally easy to use in outdoor production due to their small size and simplicity. However, when using some outdoor shovels at night, the operator often needs to control the flashlight with one hand and operate the shovel with the other. This not only makes it time-consuming and laborious for the operator to use the outdoor shovel, but also reduces the ease of use of the outdoor shovel. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to solve the problems raised in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an outdoor shovel, comprising a shovel body, a shovel handle body welded to the surface of the shovel body, an external groove formed on the surface of the shovel handle body, a rotating guide rod rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the external groove on the shovel handle body, an extension handle body fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating guide rod, an internal groove formed on the inner side of the extension handle body, and a flashlight rotatably mounted on the inner side of the internal groove.
[0006] Preferably, an adjusting post is slidably installed on the inner side of the shovel handle, and a pull ring is rotatably installed on the surface of the adjusting post.
[0007] Preferably, an elastic component is slidably sleeved on the surface of the adjusting column, and the two ends of the elastic component are respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the adjusting column and the inner side of the shovel handle.
[0008] Preferably, an adjustment plate is fixedly installed on the surface of the adjustment column, and a positioning groove is provided on the inner side of the rotating guide rod.
[0009] Preferably, a first anti-slip pad is bonded to the surface of the extended handle, and a second protective pad is bonded to the surface of the shovel handle.
[0010] Preferably, both the adjusting plate and the positioning groove are rhomboid in shape.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] (1) This outdoor shovel, by setting a rotating flashlight at the extended handle, ensures that the shovel body can be illuminated by the flashlight when in use, thus ensuring the convenience of nighttime operation by using the flashlight. This reduces the cumbersomeness of traditional shovels requiring the operator to use an external flashlight for auxiliary operation. Therefore, it improves the convenience of carrying the shovel body when not in use, as the extended handle can be stored inside the shovel handle. This improves the overall operation effect of the shovel body when used outdoors at night and reduces the drawback of traditional shovels that can only be used for digging.
[0013] (2) When the outdoor shovel is used by rotating the extended handle inside the shovel handle, the operator releases the pull ring, and the elastic component is pushed back by the compressed elastic force, so that the adjustment plate enters the inner wall of the positioning groove on the rotating guide rod. Then, through the diamond-shaped limit between the positioning groove and the adjustment plate, the extended handle is adjusted at the shovel handle to form a positioning assembly. This method ensures the convenience of positioning and use after the extended handle and the shovel handle are adjusted, and thus ensures the flexibility of the extended handle adjustment operation.

The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an outdoor shovel, including a shovel body 1, a shovel handle 2 welded to the surface of the shovel body 1, an external groove 3 formed on the surface of the shovel handle 2, a rotating guide rod 4 rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the external groove 3 on the shovel handle 2, and an extension handle 5 fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating guide rod 4. When it is necessary to extend the shovel handle 2, the extension handle 5 can be rotated and adjusted to extend it by the inner wall of the external groove 3.
[0026] Furthermore, a first anti-slip pad 6 is bonded to the surface of the extension handle 5, and a second protective pad 7 is bonded to the surface of the shovel handle 2. The purpose of setting the second protective pad 7 and the first anti-slip pad 6 at the shovel handle 2 and the extension handle 5 is to improve the friction resistance when the operator holds the shovel.
[0027] Furthermore, an internal groove 8 is provided on the inner side of the extended handle 5, and a flashlight 9 is rotatably installed inside the internal groove 8. By setting a rotatable flashlight 9 at the extended handle 5, it is ensured that the shovel body 1 can be illuminated by the flashlight 9 when in use, thus ensuring the convenience of nighttime operation of the shovel body 1. This reduces the cumbersomeness of the traditional shovel body 1 requiring the operator to use an external flashlight 9 for auxiliary operation. Therefore, it improves the convenience of carrying the shovel body 1 when not in use, as the extended handle 5 can be stored inside the shovel handle 2. This improves the overall operation effect of the shovel body 1 when used outdoors at night and reduces the drawback of the traditional shovel body 1 being only capable of digging.
[0028] Furthermore, an adjusting post 10 is slidably installed on the inner side of the shovel handle 2. A pull ring 11 is rotatably installed on the surface of the adjusting post 10. An elastic component 12 is slidably sleeved on the surface of the adjusting post 10. The two ends of the elastic component 12 are respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the adjusting post 10 and the inner side of the shovel handle 2. An adjusting plate 13 is fixedly installed on the surface of the adjusting post 10. A positioning groove 14 is opened on the inner side of the rotating guide rod 4. The adjusting plate 13 and the positioning groove 14 are both rhomboid in shape. When the extended handle 5 is rotated out inside the shovel handle 2 for use, the operator releases the pull ring 11. The elastic component 12 is pushed back to its original position by the compressed elastic force, thereby causing the adjusting plate 13 to enter the inner wall of the positioning groove 14 on the rotating guide rod 4. Then, through the rhomboid limit between the positioning groove 14 and the adjusting plate 13, the extended handle 5 is adjusted at the shovel handle 2 to form a positioning assembly. This method ensures the convenience of positioning and use of the extended handle 5 and the shovel handle 2 after adjustment, and thus ensures the flexibility of the extended handle 5 in adjustment operation.
[0029] Working principle: An outdoor shovel, when used by rotating the extended handle 5 inside the shovel handle 2, the operator releases the pull ring 11, and the elastic component 12 is pushed back by the compressed elastic force, thereby causing the adjustment plate 13 to enter the inner wall of the positioning groove 14 on the rotating guide rod 4. Then, through the diamond-shaped limit between the positioning groove 14 and the adjustment plate 13, the extended handle 5 is adjusted at the shovel handle 2 to form a positioning assembly.
[0030] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
