The invention relates to a support structure applied to a miniaturized reflector. The support structure comprises a back-grooved reflector (1), a bonding block (2), a connection screw (3), a bulb (4), a taper clamping ring (5), a support leg (6) and a connection plate (7). A conventional similar support structure hides mechanical members in the caliber of an optical device so as to eliminate influences exerted by the support structure on the detection capability and precision of infrared radiation, however, during structural assembling, due to existence of work errors and bonding position errors, when the support leg (6) is in butt joint with the connection plate (7), an overdetermined phenomenon occurs, when the flexibility of the support leg is not sufficient enough to overcome additional stress brought by overdetermining, the optical surface of an optical element generates additional deformation, and thus the system imaging quality is affected. By use of bulb connection, the support leg (6) is enabled to have a degree of freedom in three rotation directions, and thus the influence exerted by the additional stress on the optical surface is solved. The support structure applied to the miniaturized reflector has the advantages of simple structure, stable work performance, mature processing technology and the like.
