Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of camera accessories, and more particularly to a camera quick mount. [Background Technology]

[0002] There are generally two ways to connect a camera and a tripod. The first method is to directly connect the camera and tripod together. This method is inconvenient to operate due to the large size of both the camera and the tripod, and it is also more prone to dropping the equipment. The second method is to install a mounting base with a quick-release plate on the tripod. This type of mounting base usually has a lock on both sides, forming a two-way push-lock. By pressing the locks on both sides, the quick-release plate can be removed, connected to the camera, and then reattached to the mounting base. This method avoids the problems of the first method. However, the two-way push-lock is not convenient to operate, the structure is more complex, resulting in high production process requirements and costs. Furthermore, when reattaching to the mounting base, it is necessary to align it in the correct direction, requiring special attention to the orientation each time. Also, the locks on the mounting base may be accidentally pressed, causing the camera or tripod to fall, which is not safe. [Summary of the Invention]

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the aforementioned problems existing in the current connection methods of cameras and tripods, and to provide a camera quick mount.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a camera quick-mount mount, comprising a quick-mount base, a locking assembly, a quick-mount plate, and camera mounting screws. The quick-mount base is a hollow cuboid base without a top surface. The quick-mount base is located at the lower part of the camera quick-mount mount. Quick-mount grooves are provided on both the left and right side walls of the quick-mount base. The quick-mount base is connected to the camera bracket through the quick-mount grooves. A locking window is provided on the front side wall of the quick-mount base. The locking assembly is installed in the inner space of the quick-mount base on one side of the locking window. The front end of the locking assembly passes through the locking window and protrudes outside the quick-mount base. A quick-mount plate is provided on the quick-mount base. The quick-mount plate covers the top of the quick-mount base. A camera mounting screw through-hole is provided in the middle of the quick-mount plate. The front end of the camera mounting screw passes through the camera mounting screw through-hole from the bottom upwards and protrudes above the quick-mount plate. The part of the camera mounting screw protruding above the quick-mount plate is connected to the screw hole at the bottom of the camera.

[0005] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a locking buckle, a locking plate, a locking plate screw, and a locking spring. The locking buckle is movably installed inside the quick-assembly base. The front end of the locking buckle protrudes outside the quick-assembly base through a locking buckle window. A locking plate is provided between the end of the locking buckle and the corresponding inner wall of the quick-assembly base. The locking plate is fixedly installed inside the quick-assembly base by the locking plate screw. The locking plate is a limiting structure for the inward sliding distance of the locking buckle. Two locking springs are provided at the end of the locking buckle. The ends of the locking springs are connected to the inner wall of the quick-assembly base corresponding to the end of the locking buckle. The front ends of the locking springs are connected to the end of the locking buckle. The locking springs are a locking buckle reset structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the latch is a flat, one-piece U-shaped structure, and each of the two arms at the end of the latch is provided with a locking hook.

[0007] Furthermore, the latch assembly also includes a safety lock plate, a safety lock plate positioning pin, and a safety lock plate positioning bead. The front end of the latch is provided with a safety lock plate, and the safety lock plate positioning pin and the safety lock plate positioning bead are provided between the latch and the safety lock plate. The safety lock plate positioning pin and the safety lock plate positioning bead are respectively installed on the latch, and the safety lock plate and the latch with the safety lock plate positioning pin and the safety lock plate positioning bead installed form a left-right sliding opening and closing lock structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the quick-installation plate is provided with a first-direction hook group and a second-direction hook group. The first-direction hook group consists of two first-direction hooks respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the quick-installation plate, and the second-direction hook group consists of two second-direction hooks respectively installed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the quick-installation plate. The two locking hooks of the lock are always engaged with the two first-direction hooks or the two second-direction hooks in the locked state.

[0009] Furthermore, a quick-installation plate positioning bead is installed in the middle of the inner side of each of the left and right side walls of the quick-installation base, and a quick-installation plate positioning hole is provided in the middle of the bottom of each of the four side walls of the quick-installation plate. The two quick-installation plate positioning holes on the left and right sides of the quick-installation plate and the two quick-installation plate positioning holes on the front and rear sides of the quick-installation plate respectively form a group of positioning holes corresponding to two quick-installation plate positioning beads.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the quick-mount plate is provided with an anti-slip pad, and the center of the anti-slip pad has a through hole that is the same as the through hole of the camera fixing screw. The anti-slip pad is a camera anti-slip structure.

[0011] The advantages of this invention are as follows: It employs a one-way locking structure, with a set of corresponding latches on both the front and rear sides and the left and right sides of the quick-release plate. This makes installing the quick-release plate quick and convenient, eliminating the need to determine left, right, front, or back directions; simply aligning the four side walls is sufficient for direct installation. The one-way locking structure is also simpler, easier to manufacture and install, and has lower manufacturing costs. A safety locking plate is installed on the latch. When the quick-release plate needs to be removed, the safety locking plate must be slid to open the latch before pressing the latch to eject the quick-release plate. When the quick-release plate is not needed, the safety locking plate locks the latch, preventing it from being pressed inwards and avoiding accidental pressing that could cause the camera or tripod to fall, thus ensuring high safety.
