Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable and retractable soil and water conservation monitoring pole, including a first pole body 1 and a second pole body 2. The second pole body 2 is located directly above the first pole body 1. Mounting blocks 3 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top of the first pole body 1 and the front and rear sides of the bottom of the second pole body 2. Mounting shafts 4 are movably installed on opposite sides of the front and rear mounting blocks 3. First bearings are fixedly installed on opposite sides of the front and rear mounting blocks 3. The mounting shafts 4 are rotatably connected to the mounting blocks 3 through the first bearings. A connecting block 5 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the two front mounting shafts 4, with one end fixedly connected to the front side of the two rear mounting shafts 4. The upper and lower ends of the connecting block 5 are respectively attached to the bottom of the second pole body 2 and the top of the first pole body 1. The cross-sections of the upper and lower ends of the connecting block 5 are semi-circular. A limiting block 6 with one end attached to the left side of the connecting block 5 is fixedly installed on the top left side of the first pole body 1 and the bottom left side of the second pole body 2.

[0025] A rectangular hole 7 is provided at the top of the connecting block 5. Two mounting plates 8, symmetrically arranged vertically, are fixedly installed inside the rectangular hole 7. A threaded rod 9, extending to the bottom of the bottom mounting plate 8, is movably installed on the top of the top mounting plate 8. Both mounting plates 8 have round holes at their tops, and second bearings are fixedly installed inside both round holes. The threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 8 through the second bearings. A first positioning groove 10 is provided at the top of the first rod body 1 and the bottom of the second rod body 2. A first positioning groove 10 is movably installed on both the upper and lower sides of the rectangular hole 7, with one end threaded to the outside of the threaded rod 9 and the other end extending to the bottom of the two first positioning grooves 10 respectively. The positioning block 11 inside the positioning groove 10 is located on opposite sides of the two mounting plates 8. The outer side of the threaded rod 9 is provided with two threads of equal length and opposite direction. The opposite sides of the two positioning blocks 11 are provided with threaded grooves that are compatible with the threaded rod 9. The right side of the two limiting blocks 6 is provided with a second positioning groove 12. The upper and lower ends of the right side of the inner wall of the rectangular hole 7 are connected to the sliding grooves 13 opened on the connecting block 5. The two sliding grooves 13 are located on the right side of the two positioning blocks 11 respectively. The sliding block 14 is movably installed inside the two sliding grooves 13, with one end fixedly connected to the right side of the two positioning blocks 11 respectively.

[0026] A rotating assembly 15 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the threaded rod 9, with one end movably connected to the right side of the inner wall of the rectangular hole 7 and the other end extending to the left side of the connecting block 5. The rotating assembly 15 includes a worm gear 151. The worm gear 151 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the threaded rod 9 between the two mounting plates 8. A worm 152 is movably installed on the right side of the inner wall of the rectangular hole 7, with one end meshing with the worm gear 151 and the other end extending to the left side of the connecting block 5. A third bearing is fixedly installed on the right side of the inner wall of the rectangular hole 7 between the two mounting plates 8. The worm 152 is rotatably connected to the right side of the inner wall of the rectangular hole 7 through the third bearing. A knob 153 is fixedly installed on the left side of the worm 152.

[0027] Working principle: When the pole needs to be folded and stored, the worm gear 152 can be rotated by turning the knob 153, which in turn drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate through the worm wheel 151. During the rotation of the threaded rod 9, the two positioning blocks 11 will move relative to each other, so that the two positioning blocks 11 will move out of the two first positioning slots 10 respectively, thereby releasing the fixing of the connecting block 5 to the first rod body 1 and the second rod body 2. At this time, the connecting block 5 can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise around the bottom mounting shaft 4, and the second rod body 2 can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise around the top mounting shaft 4, thereby folding the first rod body 1 and the second rod body 2. The bottom left and right sides of the connecting block 5 are respectively attached to the top of the first rod 1 and the top of the second rod 2. At the same time, the two second positioning grooves 12 are located on opposite sides of the two positioning blocks 11. Then, the knob 153 is turned in the opposite direction to drive the threaded rod 9 to rotate in the opposite direction. During the rotation of the threaded rod 9, the two positioning blocks 11 will move in opposite directions, so that the two positioning blocks 11 will move into the two second positioning grooves 12 respectively, thereby limiting and fixing the first rod 1 and the second rod 2. Finally, the folding operation of the target rod is completed. By folding the target rod, the space occupied is reduced, which facilitates the storage of the target rod.

[0028] In summary, this foldable and retractable soil and water conservation monitoring pole rotates by turning the knob 153, which in turn rotates the worm gear 152, which in turn rotates the threaded rod 9 via the worm wheel 151. During rotation, the threaded rod 9 causes the two positioning blocks 11 to move relative to each other, allowing them to move out of the two first positioning slots 10. This releases the connection block 5 from the first rod body 1 and the second rod body 2. At this point, the connection block 5 can rotate 90 degrees clockwise around the bottom mounting shaft 4, and simultaneously, the second rod body 2 can rotate 90 degrees clockwise around the top mounting shaft 4, thus folding the first and second rod bodies 1 and 2. At this point, the bottom left and right sides of the connection block 5 are respectively aligned with the top of the first rod body 1 and the top of the second rod body 2. Meanwhile, the two second positioning grooves 12 are located on opposite sides of the two positioning blocks 11. Then, the knob 153 is turned in the opposite direction to drive the threaded rod 9 to rotate in the opposite direction. During the rotation of the threaded rod 9, the two positioning blocks 11 will move in opposite directions, so that the two positioning blocks 11 will move into the two second positioning grooves 12 respectively, thereby limiting and fixing the first rod body 1 and the second rod body 2. Finally, the folding operation of the target pole is completed. By folding the target pole, the space occupied is reduced, which facilitates the storage of the target pole. This solves the problem that in the actual use of existing soil and water conservation monitoring target poles, the target poles are mostly a single pole with a long length, which makes it inconvenient to fold and store the target poles, thus hindering their use.
