[0002] With the widespread use of smartphones, selfie sticks, as a convenient shooting aid, are widely used to record life, travel, parties, and other scenarios. Their main function is to provide users with a wider shooting angle and more stable shooting results. However, existing selfie sticks have some problems that urgently need to be solved during use, especially in terms of tripod design and operation.

[0003] Currently, most selfie sticks use a manual deployment method for their tripods. Users must unfold each leg individually and manually adjust its angle to ensure stability and optimal shooting results. This manual operation is not only cumbersome but also time-consuming, causing considerable inconvenience. While some selfie sticks have improved their storage design, there is still a lack of substantial innovation in automated tripod operation. Users still need to spend extra time and effort manually unfolding the tripod each time, preventing quick deployment and use. This design not only increases the user's workload but also limits the flexibility of selfie sticks in different scenarios, failing to meet the convenient usage needs of users in their fast-paced lives. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a selfie stand that can automatically pop open.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] A selfie stick that can automatically pop open includes a rod body, the rod body including a connector and a plurality of support feet rotatably connected to the bottom of the connector, a connecting rod movably connected to one side of the support feet facing the inside of the rod body, a spring component fixedly provided on the side of the support feet connected to the connecting rod and connected to the connecting rod, and a locking structure movably connected to the other end of the connecting rod for fixing the plurality of support feet in a closed state.

[0007] Furthermore, the end of the support leg away from the connector is provided with a fastening part that engages with the locking structure, and the fastening part is a protruding part facing the connector.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic component is a tension spring with one end connected to the support foot and the other end connected to a part of the connecting rod near the support foot, and the connecting rod is provided with a connecting part that connects to the elastic component.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixed seat for accommodating the elastic component is installed on the support leg, and the fixed seat has a first receiving groove for accommodating the elastic component and the connecting rod.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting part includes a slot formed on the connecting rod, and a connecting rod for connecting the elastic component is disposed in the slot. A second receiving groove is formed on the side surface of the support foot connected to the connecting rod, which receives the connecting rod and communicates with the first receiving groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a connecting seat and a button that is elastically connected to the bottom of the connecting seat, and one end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting seat has a mating groove in the middle, and the button has a protruding mating part that engages in the mating groove. A compression spring that abuts against the mating part is provided in the mating groove.

[0013] Furthermore, a through hole is provided inside the joint, and a fixing post is provided protruding from the bottom wall of the joint groove, penetrating the through hole.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] This invention utilizes a spring-loaded component and a connecting rod on the support leg. The connecting rod extends the support leg outward, while the spring-loaded component pulls on the connecting rod. The connecting rod, support leg, and spring-loaded component are interconnected. When the angle between the connecting rod and support leg increases, the spring-loaded component is stretched, generating a restoring force. Using this restoring force, when the support leg is closed, the spring-loaded component is stretched to its maximum, exerting a pulling force on the connecting rod. When the support leg disengages from the locking structure, the tension in the connecting rod from the spring-loaded component pulls the connecting rod, reducing the angle between the connecting rod and support leg, thus quickly extending the support leg outward. This invention achieves rapid deployment of the support leg simply by disengaging the locking structure from the support leg, solving the problem of existing selfie sticks requiring additional time and effort to manually open the tripod, hindering rapid deployment and use. This reduces the user's operational burden and meets the convenience needs of users in fast-paced lives. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an automatically pop-out selfie stick includes a rod 1. The rod 1 includes a connector 2 and several support feet 3 rotatably connected to the bottom of the connector 2. A connecting rod 4 is movably connected to the side of the support feet 3 facing inward of the rod 1. A spring component 5 connected to the connecting rod 4 is fixedly provided on the side of the support feet 3 connected to the connecting rod 4. A locking structure 6 for fixing the several support feet 3 in a closed state is also movably connected to the other end of the connecting rod 4.

[0027] The connector 2 of the rod 1 is the hub connecting the various components. The bottom of the connector 2 is equipped with a support foot 3 by means of rotation connection, so that the support foot 3 can be extended and retracted around the rotation point at the bottom of the connector 2.

[0028] In this embodiment, one end of the support leg 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connector 2, and the other end is provided with a fastening part 7. When the support leg 3 is in the closed state, the fastening part 7 cooperates with the locking structure 6 to fix the support leg 3 in the closed position; when it is necessary to unfold the support leg 3, the cooperation between the locking structure 6 and the support leg 3 is released, and the support leg 3 unfolds quickly under the action of the elastic component 5.

[0029] When the locking structure 6 disengages from the support leg 3, the elastic component 5 pulls the connecting rod 4 to move, thereby reducing the angle between the connecting rod 4 and the support leg 3, and thus causing the support leg 3 to quickly open outward.

[0030] When the support leg 3 is in the closed state, the elastic component 5 is stretched to its maximum and stores a large amount of elastic potential energy. When the support leg 3 is disengaged from the locking structure 6, the restoring force of the elastic component 5 acts on the connecting rod 4, which drives the support leg 3 to unfold rapidly. During the unfolding process of the support leg 3, the elastic component 5 gradually contracts, and its elastic potential energy is gradually converted into the kinetic energy of the support leg 3 until the support leg 3 is fully unfolded and reaches a stable state.

[0031] Furthermore, the end of the support leg 3 away from the connector 2 is also provided with a fastening part 7 that engages with the locking structure 6, and the fastening part 7 is a protruding part facing the connector 14.

[0032] The fastening part 7 is a key structural component on the support foot 3. It works in conjunction with the locking structure 6 to fix the support foot 3 in a closed state, preventing the support foot 3 from accidentally unfolding when it is not needed, and ensuring the stability of the selfie stick during carrying and storage.

[0033] Furthermore, the elastic component 5 is a tension spring with one end connected to the support leg 3 and the other end connected to the part of the connecting rod 4 near the support leg 3. The connecting rod 4 is provided with a connecting part 8 that is connected to the elastic component 5.

[0034] The connecting part 8 is an important structural component on the connecting rod 4. It is mainly used to connect the elastic component 5, ensuring that the elastic component 5 can stably apply tension to the connecting rod 4, thereby realizing the rapid deployment and stable retraction of the support leg 3.

[0035] Furthermore, a fixed seat 9 for accommodating the elastic component 5 is installed on the support leg 3, and the fixed seat 9 has a first receiving groove 10 for accommodating the elastic component 5 and the connecting rod 4.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fixing seat 9 is mainly used to accommodate and fix the elastic component 5, ensuring that the elastic component 5 can function stably during operation. At the same time, the fixing seat 9 is also connected to the connecting rod 4, and the first receiving groove 10 on it can serve to store the connecting rod 4 when the support legs 3 are closed.

[0037] Furthermore, the connecting part 8 includes a slot 11 formed on the connecting rod 4, and a connecting rod 12 for connecting the elastic component 5 is disposed in the slot 11. The supporting leg 3 has a second receiving groove 13 on one side surface connected to the connecting rod 4, which receives the connecting rod 4 and communicates with the first receiving groove 10.

[0038] Furthermore, the locking structure 6 includes a connecting seat 14 and a button 15 that is elastically connected to the bottom of the connecting seat 14, and one end of the connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting seat 14.

[0039] Furthermore, the connecting seat 14 has a mating groove 16 in the middle, and the button 15 has a protruding mating part 17 that engages in the mating groove 16. A compression spring 18 that abuts against the mating part 17 is provided in the mating groove 16.

[0040] Furthermore, a through hole 19 is provided inside the joint 17, and a fixing post 20 is provided on the bottom wall of the joint groove 16 that passes through the through hole 19.

[0041] Furthermore, a locking part 21 is fixedly installed on the button 15. The locking part 21 is an annular component installed on the outer wall of the button 15, and a limiting groove 22 that engages with the fastening part 7 is provided on the side of the locking part 21 away from the connecting seat 14.

[0042] In this embodiment, the limiting groove 22 of the engaging part 21 engages with the fastening part 7 on the support leg 3, thereby fixing the support leg 3 in the closed position. When the button 15 is pressed, the button 15 moves in the direction of the connecting seat 14 against the elastic force of the compression spring 18, and the limiting groove 22 on the engaging part 21 separates from the fastening part 7, releasing the lock on the support leg 3. At this time, the support leg 3 quickly unfolds under the action of the elastic member 5.

[0043] The engagement groove 16 in the middle of the connecting seat 14 and the engagement part 17 on the button 15 are connected by a compression spring 18, so that the button 15 can automatically reset when it is not subjected to external force and maintain the locked state of the support foot 3; the through hole 19 inside the engagement part 17 and the fixing post 20 on the bottom wall of the engagement groove 16 are used to fix the position of the button 15, ensuring the stable movement and accurate engagement of the button 15.

[0044] Furthermore, a telescopic rod 23 is vertically inserted through the middle of the connecting seat 14, and the bottom of the telescopic rod 23 is connected to a locking structure 6.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least one of the support feet 3 is provided with a mounting slot for mounting a remote control, and a remote control is detachably mounted in the mounting slot for communicating with electronic devices or photographic equipment and controlling the electronic devices or photographic equipment to take pictures.

[0046] In some embodiments, at least one outer wall of the support leg 3 is provided with a positioning groove 24, and at least one outer wall of the support leg 3 is provided with a positioning block 25 for engaging with the positioning groove 24 of the adjacent support leg 3. When the support leg 3 is in a closed state, the cooperation between the positioning block 25 and the positioning groove 24 enables the adjacent support legs 3 to be stably spliced ​​together.

[0047] The working process and principle of this utility model are as follows:

[0048] When using the selfie stick handle of this utility model, first press the button 15 on the locking structure 6, so that the button 15 moves in the direction of the connecting seat 14 against the elastic force of the compression spring 18. The engaging part 21 separates from the fastening part 7 on the support foot 3, releasing the lock on the support foot 3. At this time, the restoring force of the elastic component 5 is transmitted to the support foot 3 through the connecting rod 4, causing the support foot 3 to quickly open outward, realizing the rapid unfolding of the selfie stick. After taking a picture, fold the support foot 3 inward, so that the fastening part 7 on the support foot 3 re-engages with the engaging part 21 of the locking structure 6, fixing the support foot 3 in the closed position. The elastic component 5 is stretched to its maximum again, preparing for the next unfolding. The whole process is simple and quick. Users only need to press the button 15 to realize the rapid unfolding and retraction of the support foot 3, which greatly improves the convenience of use.

[0049] The working principle of this utility model is based on the elastic restoring force of the elastic component 5. When the selfie stick is not in use, the support leg 3 is in a closed state, and the elastic component 5 is stretched to its maximum, storing a large amount of elastic potential energy. When the button 15 of the locking structure 6 is pressed, the engaging part 21 separates from the fastening part 7, and the restoring force of the elastic component 5 is transmitted to the support leg 3 through the connecting rod 4, causing the support leg 3 to unfold quickly. During the unfolding process of the support leg 3, the elastic component 5 gradually contracts, and its elastic potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the unfolding support leg 3. When it is necessary to retract the support leg 3, the support leg 3 is folded inward, so that the fastening part 7 and the engaging part 21 re-engage, and the elastic component 5 is stretched to its maximum again, ensuring that the support leg 3 is stably retracted. Through this design, this utility model realizes the rapid automatic unfolding and stable retraction of the support leg 3, reduces the user's operational burden, and meets the user's convenient use needs in a fast-paced life.

[0050] The specific embodiments of the utility model have been described in detail above, but they are only examples. The utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments and descriptions above are merely illustrative of the principles of the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to the utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the utility model as claimed. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
