[0036] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0037] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, a bracket with a universal adjustment and automatic return function according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first connecting member 100, a second connecting member 200, at least two tripods 300, a first locking assembly 400, and an interface assembly 600. As Figure 6 shown, the first connecting member 100 includes a connecting portion 110 and a rotating portion 120. The connecting portion 110 can be cylindrical, and the rotating portion 120 can be spherical. The connecting portion 110 and the rotating portion 120 are integrally formed, so that when the connecting portion 110 swings, the rotating portion 120 is driven to swing, so that when the first locking assembly 400 fixes the rotating portion 120, the connecting portion 110 and the interface assembly 600 are fixed. As Figure 4 ,Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a first through hole 210 that mates with the rotating portion 120 is formed in the middle of the second connecting member 200. The first through hole 210 can be divided into an upper half and a lower half, and the upper half can be a spherical hole groove. By arranging the rotating portion 120 to be movably disposed in the upper half of the first through hole 210, a user can adjust the required angle of a firearm or a camera by swinging or rotating the interface assembly 600 up, down, left, or right. The rotating portion 120 is locked by the first locking assembly 400, so that the angle of the interface assembly 600 is fixed at the required angle, thereby enabling the bracket to have the function of adjusting to a desired angle in all directions. Specifically, the first connecting member 100 can cooperate with the second connecting member 200, enabling the user to rotate the interface assembly 600 by 360 degrees or rotate the second connecting member 200 by 360 degrees. A second through hole 220 is provided on the outer wall of the second connecting member 200, and the first through hole 210 and the second through hole 220 are in communication. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the first locking assembly 400 is movably disposed in the second through hole 220. The first locking assembly 400 is screwed into the second through hole 220 by the user so that the first locking assembly 400 abuts against the rotating portion 120, thereby fixing the rotating portion 120 by the first locking assembly 400. As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, a first bolt 310 is further included. Each tripod 300 can be respectively mounted on both sides of the second connecting member 200 through the first bolt 310. The tripod 300 is used to support the second connecting member 200 and the interface assembly 600. As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the interface component 600 is connected to the first connecting member 100 through the connecting portion 110. The interface component 600 is used for installing the article component, and a second locking component 500 for locking the interface component 600 is provided on the outer wall of the interface component 600. Specifically, the article component can be a camera or a firearm that needs to be fixed or has a long tube. When the interface component 600 is used to connect to the forearm of a firearm, the user can swing or rotate the interface component 600 up, down, left, or right to adjust the left and right tilt angle of the firearm, and then screw the first locking component 400 into the second through hole 220 so that the first locking component 400 catches the rotating portion 120, making the rotating portion 120 fixed in the first through hole 210, thereby fixing the position of the firearm. When the interface component 600 is used to connect to the guide rail, the guide rail is connected to one end of the tabletop through bolts, making the bracket become two support frames of the tabletop. The other end of the tabletop can be connected to another bracket in the same manner as above, thus forming a table, which is convenient for users to place food when going hunting. When the interface component 600 is used to connect to a camera, the user can swing or rotate the interface component 600 up, down, left, or right to adjust the tilt angle of the camera, and then screw the first locking component 400 into the second through hole 220 so that the first locking component 400 catches the rotating portion 120, making the rotating portion 120 fixed in the first through hole 210, thereby fixing the camera at the adjusted position. Therefore, the present invention has the characteristics of simple structure and strong practicability, and can be applied to the adjustment of the tilt position angle of firearms such as hunting guns, to the tripod 300 for supporting the tabletop, and to cameras.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, a limiting port 230 for restricting the left and right swing of the connecting portion 110 is provided at the top of the second connecting member 200. The limiting port 230 communicates with the first through hole 210, thereby preventing the connecting portion 110 from falling off the second connecting member 200, and restricting the connecting portion 110 to be able to adjust the angle between positive twenty degrees and negative twenty degrees in the left and right directions.

[0039] In a further embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, in order for the tripod 300 to have the function of swinging back and forth, a first bolt 310 is further included. The tripod 300 is connected to the second connecting member 200 through the first bolt 310. A plurality of connecting grooves 240 are provided on both sides of the second connecting member 200. The tripod 300 is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 200 by the first bolt 310 being engaged in the connecting groove 240. The user engages the first bolt 310 in different connecting grooves 240 to swing the tripod 300 back and forth to adjust the position, thereby increasing the flexibility of the tripod 300.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second connecting member 200 is provided with a gasket 250 and a fixing member 260. The gasket 250 is installed in the lower half of the first through hole 210, and the fixing member 260 is installed in the lower half of the first through hole 210. The gasket 250 is connected to the rotating part 120, the fixing member 260 is connected to the gasket 250, and the fixing member 260 is used to support the rotating part 120 and the gasket 250. The gasket 250 is used to increase the contact area with the rotating part 120, thereby preventing the rotating part 120 from loosening after being fixed. The fixing member 260 is located below the rotating part 120 and the gasket 250, and the fixing member 260 is threadedly connected to the first through hole 210 to prevent the gasket 250 and the rotating part 120 from sliding down.

[0041] In a further embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, it further includes an elastic element 700. A groove cooperating with the elastic element 700 is provided on one side of the second connecting member 200 connected to the connecting portion 110. One end of the elastic element 700 is connected to the second connecting member 200 through the groove, and the other end of the elastic element 700 is connected to the interface assembly 600. The elastic element 700 can telescopically drive the interface assembly 600 to reset after the first locking assembly 400 is loosened. By providing the elastic element 700 between the second connecting member 200 and the interface assembly 600, when the connecting portion 110 swings to one side, the elastic element 700 is compressed by force. When the user loosens the first locking assembly 400, the elastic element 700 elastically resets to drive the connecting portion 110 and the interface assembly 600 to automatically return to the correct position, thereby facilitating the user to adjust the angle of the second connecting member 200 again.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the first locking assembly 400 includes a threaded sleeve, a threaded rod and a nut. The threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the second through hole 220. One end of the threaded rod is movably disposed in the threaded sleeve in the front-back direction, and the other end of the threaded rod is connected to the nut. The threaded rod is used to fix the rotating part 120. The user drives the threaded rod to move back and forth in the threaded sleeve by rotating the nut. The threaded rod can move forward until it abuts against the rotating part 120 to complete the fixation, and the threaded rod can move backward until it leaves the rotating part 120 to complete the loosening. By providing one end of the threaded rod movably disposed in the threaded sleeve in the front-back direction, it is convenient for the user to fix the rotating part 120 so that the adjusted angles of the interface assembly 600 and the connecting portion 110 are fixed.

[0043] In a further embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, there are two tripod stands 300. The tripod stand 300 includes a first support rod 320 and a second support rod 330. A fixing pad 331 for fixing the tripod stand 300 is provided on the outer wall of the lower end of the second support rod 330. The first support rod 320 is connected to the second connecting member 200 by bolts. By providing the fixing pad 331 on the outer wall of the lower end of the second support rod 330, the anti-slip pattern provided on the fixing pad 331 is used to fix the tripod stand 300 on the ground, thereby increasing the stability of the contact between the tripod stand 300 and the ground.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, it further includes an adjusting device for adjusting the height of the tripod stand 300. The first support rod 320 and the second support rod 330 are connected by the adjusting device. The adjusting device includes a knurled handwheel 800, a third connecting member 810, and a fourth connecting member 820. The third connecting member 810 is installed on the first support rod 320. The fourth connecting member 820 is connected to the second support rod 330. The fourth connecting member 820 is engaged within the knurled handwheel 800. The knurled handwheel 800 is threadedly connected to the third connecting member 810. The knurled handwheel 800 is used to limit the up and down movement of the second support rod 330 within the first support rod 320. The user turns the knurled handwheel 800 to loosen the fourth connecting member 820 and the knurled handwheel 800, so that the second support rod 330 can move up and down within the first support rod 320, thereby adjusting the height of the tripod stand 300. After the user adjusts the height, the second support rod 330 is fixed within the first support rod 320 by tightening the knurled handwheel 800. By providing the adjusting device, the user can adjust the height of the tripod stand 300 according to their own needs.

[0045] In a further embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1As shown, it further includes a round head screw 900, a second bolt 910 and a third bolt 920. The interface assembly 600 includes a fifth connecting member 610, a sixth connecting member 620 and a seventh connecting member 630. The fifth connecting member 610 is connected to the connecting portion 110 by the second bolt 910. The sixth connecting member 620 is connected to the fifth connecting member 610 by the third bolt 920. The seventh connecting member 630 is connected to the sixth connecting member 620 by the round head screw 900. The seventh connecting member 630 can move back and forth on the round head screw 900. A placement space for installing a firearm, a rail strip or a camera is formed between the sixth connecting member 620 and the seventh connecting member 630. Therefore, according to the size of the firearm, camera or rail strip, the user can adjust the distance between the seventh connecting member 630 and the sixth connecting member 620 by moving the seventh connecting member 630, so as to adjust the placement space to a size suitable for the firearm, camera or rail strip, thereby facilitating the sixth connecting member 620 and the seventh connecting member 630 to clamp the firearm, camera or rail strip. Specifically, by setting that the seventh connecting member 630 can move back and forth on the round head screw 900, the size of the placement space formed between the sixth connecting member 620 and the seventh connecting member 630 can be adjusted. Further, the placement space formed between the sixth connecting member 620 and the seventh connecting member 630 for installing a firearm or a rail strip means that a placement space is formed between the upper side wall of the sixth connecting member 620, the bottom surface of the sixth connecting member 620 and the opposite upper side wall of the seventh connecting member 630.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the second locking assembly 500 includes a locking wrench 510, a button portion 520, a first pin shaft 530 and a second pin shaft 540.
