Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Example: Figure 1-7As shown, this utility model provides a multifunctional trekking pole, including a pole handle 1, a support rod 11 slidably inserted inside the pole handle 1, a handle 12 fixedly mounted on the top surface of the support rod 11, a first collar 25 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the support rod 11, a bracket 26 fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the first collar 25, a storage groove 102 opened inside the pole handle 1, a rotating rod 2 fixedly mounted inside the storage groove 102, an extension rod 21 rotatably sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rod 2, a pull rod 22 slidably inserted inside the pole handle 1, the pull rod 22 movably inserted into the extension rod 21, a limiting groove 103 opened inside the pole handle 1, a movable ring 23 fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the pull rod 22, the movable ring 23 slidably disposed within the limiting groove 103, and a fixed connection between the limiting groove 103 and the movable ring 23. The second spring 24 and the extension rod 21 have a slot 211. The pull rod 22 is slidably inserted into the slot 211. By pulling the pull rod 22, the movable ring 23 is slid in the limiting groove 103 and the second spring 24 is squeezed. At this time, the pull rod 22 is disengaged from one of the slots 211 in the extension rod 21. Then the extension rod 21 is rotated on the outer surface of the rotating rod 2 and disengaged from the storage groove 102. At this time, the pull rod 22 corresponds to the other slot 211. Then the pull rod 22 is released, which causes the second spring 24 to return to its original position. The pull rod 22 can be inserted into the corresponding slot 211, so that the extension rod 21 can be fixed to support the cane 1. Then the photography equipment is placed in the bracket 26, which is convenient for photography enthusiasts and reduces the burden of carrying.

[0023] A second ring 3 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the support rod 11. An auxiliary rod 33 is rotatably inserted inside the second ring 3. A mounting frame 35 is fixedly installed at one end of the auxiliary rod 33. A flashlight 36 is installed inside the mounting frame 35. A rotating shaft 31 is rotatably inserted inside the second ring 3. A worm gear 32 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 31. A worm wheel 34 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the auxiliary rod 33. The worm gear 32 and the worm wheel 34 mesh with each other.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the worm 32 is rotated by rotating the shaft 31. The worm 32 meshes with the worm wheel 34, causing the worm wheel 34 and the auxiliary rod 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting frame 35 to rotate. This allows the beam angle of the flashlight 36 to be adjusted, thus enabling nighttime illumination or signal prompts.

[0025] A movable rod 13 is slidably inserted into the support rod 11. A groove 101 is opened in the rod 1. The movable rod 13 is slidably inserted into the groove 101. A fixing ring 14 is fixedly provided on one side of the movable rod 13. The fixing ring 14 is slidably disposed in the support rod 11. A movable groove 111 is opened in the support rod 11. The fixing ring 14 is slidably disposed in the movable groove 111. A first spring 15 is fixedly connected between the movable groove 111 and the fixing ring 14.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, pressing the movable rod 13 causes the fixed ring 14 to slide in the movable groove 111, compressing the first spring 15 and causing the movable rod 13 to disengage from the groove 101. This facilitates the sliding of the support rod 11 into the cane 1, and then aligns the movable rod 13 with the groove 101 above the cane 1, thereby causing the first spring 15 to return to its original position. This causes the fixed ring 14 to drive the movable rod 13 into the corresponding groove 101, thus enabling the cane 1 and the support rod 11 to be adjusted according to the needs of users with different heights.

[0027] Working principle: First, by pressing the movable rod 13, the fixed ring 14 is slid in the movable groove 111, and the first spring 15 is squeezed, causing the movable rod 13 to disengage from the groove 101. This facilitates the sliding of the support rod 11 into the cane 1. Then, the movable rod 13 is aligned with the groove 101 above the cane 1, causing the first spring 15 to return to its original position. This causes the fixed ring 14 to drive the movable rod 13 into the corresponding groove 101, thereby enabling the cane 1 and the support rod 11 to be adjusted according to the needs of users with different heights.

[0028] By pulling the lever 22, the movable ring 23 slides within the limiting groove 103, compressing the second spring 24. At this point, the lever 22 disengages from one of the slots 211 within the extension rod 21. The extension rod 21 is then rotated on the outer surface of the rotating rod 2 and disengaged from the storage groove 102. The lever 22 then aligns with the other slot 211. The lever 22 is then released, causing the second spring 24 to return to its original position. The lever 22 can then be inserted into the corresponding slot 211, allowing the extension rod 21 to be fixed and supporting the cane 1. The photography equipment is then placed inside the bracket 26 for convenient use by photography enthusiasts, reducing the burden of carrying it. By rotating the shaft 31, the worm gear 32 rotates. The worm gear 32 meshes with the worm wheel 34, causing the worm wheel 34 and the auxiliary rod 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting frame 35 to rotate. This allows adjustment of the beam angle of the flashlight 36, enabling nighttime illumination or signaling.
