Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mountaineering tools, and more specifically, to a smart trekking pole. Background Technology

[0002] As an important auxiliary equipment for outdoor sports, especially hiking and mountaineering enthusiasts, trekking poles have evolved from simple support and balance to intelligent and multifunctional applications. In recent years, to improve the safety and health monitoring capabilities of hikers, smart trekking poles with integrated health monitoring functions have appeared on the market. These products typically integrate temperature detection and display modules inside the trekking pole handle, aiming to sense and display the hiker's body temperature or ambient temperature in real time. This helps users detect abnormal body temperature and ambient temperature in a timely manner, preventing dangerous situations such as heatstroke and providing additional safety for outdoor activities.

[0003] However, existing smart trekking poles of this type have a significant flaw in their structural design. In pursuit of compact design, temperature sensors, controllers (including PCB circuit boards and power modules), and temperature displays are typically housed in a relatively enclosed cavity inside the handle of trekking poles. The common practice is to directly cover the opening at the top of the cavity with the temperature display. This highly integrated layout leads to severe thermal interference problems in practical applications. When the device is operating, the controller PCB inevitably generates heat, and the display screen itself also dissipates heat. This internal heat is difficult to dissipate effectively within the enclosed or semi-enclosed handle cavity, causing the temperature inside the cavity to be significantly higher than the external ambient temperature. Unfortunately, the temperature sensor is also located within this heat-affected cavity. Therefore, the temperature value detected by the sensor not only includes the influence of the ambient temperature but also the temperature rise effect caused by the internal components. This results in the sensor's final temperature reading being significantly higher than the actual ambient temperature, causing severe distortion in the measurement results. This distortion prevents smart trekking poles from reliably and intuitively providing users with the accurate real-time ambient temperature information they truly need, severely weakening the practical value of the function and user trust, necessitating improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide a smart hiking stick that can effectively avoid interference from internal heat sources and accurately detect and display human body temperature.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an intelligent hiking stick, comprising a handle fixedly mounted on the upper end of the stick body, and a temperature sensor, a processor, and a temperature display mounted on the handle. The handle has an internal mounting cavity with a top opening, and the top of the handle has an end cap for closing the opening. The temperature sensor and processor are located within the mounting cavity. The temperature display is fixed to the end cap and electrically connected to the processor. The mounting cavity includes a main chamber for accommodating the processor and a heat-insulating chamber formed by the inward indentation of the side wall of the main chamber. The heat-insulating chamber is thermally insulated from the main chamber by its cavity wall. The cavity wall of the heat-insulating chamber has a wiring hole connecting to the main chamber and a sensing hole connecting to the external environment. The temperature sensor is located within the heat-insulating chamber, with its sensing end facing the sensing hole to detect the external temperature. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the processor via a wire, which passes through the wiring hole in a sealed manner.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By setting a physically isolated heat-insulating chamber on the side wall of the main chamber and placing the temperature sensor independently in the heat-insulating chamber, the heat generated by the processor and other heat-generating components during operation is significantly blocked from being conducted to the temperature sensor. At the same time, the sensing hole opened on the heat-insulating chamber allows the sensing end of the temperature sensor to be directly exposed to the external ambient air, effectively reducing the impact of heat accumulation inside the chamber on temperature detection. This structural design enables the temperature sensor to more accurately sense the user's (e.g., hand) body temperature and ambient temperature. After processing by the processor, the temperature display provides the user with accurate and reliable body temperature or ambient temperature information, greatly improving the accuracy of the temperature monitoring function.

[0007] As an improvement, the upper diameter of the handle is larger than the lower diameter, forming a grip area. The outer surface of the grip area is a continuous curved surface that tapers from top to bottom; the outlet of the sensing hole is located on the curved surface of the grip area. In this structure, the grip area adopts a continuous curved surface design that tapers from top to bottom, which is ergonomic and can more comfortably and securely fit the user's palm. By placing the outlet of the sensing hole on the curved surface of the grip area, the sensing end of the temperature sensor can directly and closely contact or approach the user's hand skin when gripping the hand, effectively eliminating the measurement error caused by air gaps in traditional designs, and significantly improving the accuracy and real-time performance of human body temperature detection.

[0008] As an improvement, at least one heat dissipation hole is provided on the curved surface of the grip area of ​​the handle, which communicates with the heat insulation chamber. By applying this structure, a passive heat dissipation channel is created from the inside of the heat insulation chamber to the external environment through the heat dissipation hole, utilizing the natural flow of external air and the slight airflow disturbances that may occur when gripping the handle. This effectively promotes the exchange of air between the inside of the heat insulation chamber and the outside environment, accelerating the dissipation of any trace heat that may accumulate inside the heat insulation chamber. This further reduces the potential interference of residual internal heat on the accuracy of the temperature sensor, thus consolidating the accuracy of temperature measurement.

[0009] As an improvement, the heat dissipation holes include a first hole segment and a second hole segment connected sequentially from the outside to the inside, with the diameter of the first hole segment being smaller than that of the second hole segment. With this structure, the heat dissipation holes adopt a stepped structure. The smaller diameter first hole segment acts as a physical barrier, effectively preventing larger particles of dust, water droplets, or debris from directly entering the hole. The larger diameter second hole segment ensures sufficient cross-sectional area for airflow, maintaining heat dissipation efficiency. This transitional design from small to large diameter ensures smooth airflow while significantly improving the dustproof and waterproof (splashproof) capabilities of the heat dissipation holes, helping to protect the internal insulation chamber and temperature sensor from external environmental contamination.

[0016] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a smart hiking stick includes a handle 1 fixed to the upper end of the stick body, and a temperature sensor 2, a processor 3, and a temperature display 4 disposed on the handle 1. The handle 1 has an internal mounting cavity 5 with a top opening, and the top of the handle 1 has an end cap 11 for closing the opening. The temperature sensor 2 and the processor 3 are located inside the mounting cavity 5. The temperature display 4 is fixed to the end cap 11 and electrically connected to the processor 3. The mounting cavity 5 includes a main chamber 51 for accommodating the processor 3 and a heat-insulating chamber 52 formed by the inward indentation of the side wall of the main chamber 51. The heat-insulating chamber 52 is thermally insulated from the main chamber 51 by its cavity wall. The cavity wall of the heat-insulating chamber 52 has a wiring hole 521 communicating with the main chamber 51 and a sensing hole 522 communicating with the external environment. The temperature sensor 2 is disposed inside the heat-insulating chamber 52, with its sensing end facing the sensing hole 522 to detect the external temperature. The temperature sensor 2 is electrically connected to the processor 3 through a wire, and the wire passes through the wiring hole 521 in a sealed manner.

[0018] In this embodiment, a heat-insulating chamber 52 is physically isolated on the side wall of the main chamber 51, and the temperature sensor 2 is placed independently in the heat-insulating chamber 52. This significantly blocks the conduction of heat generated by the heat-generating elements such as the processor 3 to the temperature sensor 2. At the same time, the sensing hole 522 opened on the heat-insulating chamber 52 allows the sensing end of the temperature sensor 2 to be directly exposed to the external ambient air, effectively reducing the impact of heat accumulation inside the chamber on temperature detection. This structural design enables the temperature sensor 2 to more accurately sense the body temperature of the user (such as the hand) and the ambient temperature. After processing by the processor 3, the temperature display 4 provides the user with real and reliable body temperature or ambient temperature information, greatly improving the accuracy of the temperature monitoring function.

[0019] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper diameter of the handle 1 is larger than the lower diameter, forming a grip area 12. The outer surface of the grip area 12 is a continuous curved surface that tapers from top to bottom. The outlet of the sensing hole 522 is located on the curved surface of the grip area 12. In this structure, the grip area 12 adopts a continuous curved surface design that tapers from top to bottom, which conforms to ergonomics and can fit the user's palm more comfortably and stably. By setting the outlet of the sensing hole 522 on the curved surface of the grip area 12, the sensing end of the temperature sensor 2 can directly and closely contact or approach the user's hand skin when gripping the handle, effectively eliminating the measurement error caused by air gaps in traditional designs and significantly improving the accuracy and real-time performance of human body temperature detection.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, at least one heat dissipation hole 523 is provided on the curved surface of the grip area 12 of the handle 1, and the heat dissipation hole 523 communicates with the heat insulation chamber 52. After applying this structure, the heat dissipation hole 523 communicating with the heat insulation chamber 52 is opened on the curved surface of the grip area 12, creating a passive heat dissipation channel from the inside of the heat insulation chamber 52 to the external environment through the heat dissipation hole 523. This design utilizes the natural flow of external air and the slight airflow disturbance that may be generated when gripping, effectively promoting the exchange of air between the inside of the heat insulation chamber 52 and the outside, accelerating the dissipation of the trace heat that may accumulate in the heat insulation chamber 52, further reducing the potential interference of residual heat inside the chamber on the detection accuracy of the temperature sensor 2, and consolidating the accuracy of temperature measurement.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the heat dissipation hole 523 includes a first hole segment 5231 and a second hole segment 5232 connected sequentially from the outside to the inside. The diameter of the first hole segment 5231 is smaller than that of the second hole segment 5232. With this structure, the heat dissipation hole 523 adopts a stepped structure. The first hole segment 5231 with a smaller outer diameter acts as a physical barrier, effectively preventing larger dust particles, water droplets, or debris from directly entering the hole. The second hole segment 5232 with a larger inner diameter ensures sufficient airflow channel cross-sectional area, maintaining heat dissipation efficiency. This transition design from small to large diameter ensures smooth airflow while significantly improving the dustproof and waterproof (splashproof) capabilities of the heat dissipation hole 523, helping to protect the internal heat insulation chamber 52 and temperature sensor 2 from external environmental contamination.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this disclosure, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
