Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing photographic equipment and hiking poles require inconvenient and time-consuming telescoping adjustments, often missing critical shot timings due to the need for sequential adjustment of multiple sections.
Innovation Solution
A rapid telescoping support pole featuring an operation driving member, transverse driving wheel, vertical transmission wheel, multi-stage outer tube, and multi-section inner tube with twist-limiting chambers, allowing for simultaneous operation of upper and lower telescopic poles through a cooperating movement.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If sequential adjustment of multiple sections is used, then the telescoping structure is simple to manufacture, but the adjustment time is excessive and operation convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple independent adjustment operations into a single integrated mechanism. The operation driving member simultaneously controls all telescopic sections through a unified transmission system, allowing all sections to be adjusted in one motion rather than requiring sequential adjustment of each section individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a transmission mechanism as an intermediary between the user's single input motion and the multiple telescopic sections. The transmission mechanism distributes the driving force to all sections simultaneously, acting as a mediator that converts one adjustment operation into coordinated movement of all sections.
2Productivity
If simultaneous operation of multiple telescopic sections is implemented, then the adjustment speed is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The operation driving member serves multiple functions: it simultaneously drives all telescopic sections, provides the transmission force, and coordinates the movement of all sections. This multi-functional design achieves simultaneous adjustment without requiring separate complex mechanisms for each section.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a nested structure where the transmission mechanism is integrated within the telescopic pole assembly. The operation driving member and transmission components are housed within the pole structure, allowing the complex mechanism to be compactly integrated without increasing overall device complexity.
3Ease of operation
If multiple adjustment operations are required, then the structural design is simpler, but the operation convenience and responsiveness deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The transmission mechanism is pre-configured within the telescopic pole structure, with all transmission paths and driving connections established in advance. When the user operates the driving member, the pre-arranged transmission system immediately translates the input motion into coordinated adjustment of all sections, providing rapid responsive action without requiring complex real-time control.

AI summary
A rapid telescoping support pole, a photographic equipment, and a hiking pole comprising: an operation driving member (1), a transverse driving wheel (2), and a vertical transmission wheel (3) cooperating with said transverse driving wheel (2); the vertical transmission wheel (3) driving multi-section inner tubes (4) cooperatively to make the multi-stage outer tube (5) conversion between a telescopic unlocked state and a telescopic locked state so as to achieve the rapid telescoping purpose. It has the advantages of rapid telescoping, extremely convenient use and movement, and simultaneous operation of upper and lower telescopic poles in one cooperating movement, therefore it has superior performance in terms of technology, practicality and economy.
