[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of a shooting auxiliary device.

[0033] A shooting auxiliary device, the shooting auxiliary device includes a bracket 100 and a rotating component 200, the rotating component 200 is rotatably arranged with the bracket 100, the shooting auxiliary device also includes a load mounting member 400 and a locking mechanism, the rotating component 200 includes a fixing mechanism for fixing the load mounting member 400; wherein the locking mechanism includes a locking member 300 movably arranged on the rotating component 200, the locking member 300 is provided with at least a first active state and a second active state, the fixing mechanism is locked to the rotating component 200 by the locking member 300 when the locking member 300 is in the first active state to maintain a clamping state, and the rotating component 200 is locked to the bracket 100 by the locking member 300 when the locking member 300 is in the second active state.

[0034] Specifically, the rotating component 200 can be rotatably arranged relative to the bracket 100, and the load mounting component 400 can be detachably arranged on the rotating component 200. The locking mechanism can respectively lock the load mounting component 400 and the rotating component 200 in the first active state and the second active state. The locking component 300 fixes the load mounting component 400 on the rotating component 200 in the first active state, which is convenient for fixing the load mounting component 400. At the same time, when the locking component 300 is out of the first active state, the fixing mechanism is no longer locked, and the load mounting component 400 can be out of the movable fixing mechanism; the locking mechanism fixes the rotating component 200 on the bracket 100 in the second active state, preventing the rotating component 200 from rotating during the installation of the load mounting component 400, thereby facilitating the installation of the load connector.

[0035] In one embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 , attached Figure 1 The locking member 300 is in the second active state. Figure 2 The locking member 300 is in the first active state. The first active state and the second active state can indicate that the locking member 300 is in a certain position, or can indicate that the locking member 300 is in a certain range. In fact, the locking member 300 can be active, including moving, rotating and swinging, etc., and can respectively lock the fixing mechanism and the rotating component 200 to achieve the fixation of the load mounting member 400 and the rotating component 200.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bracket 100 includes a fixed component 102 that rotates with the rotating component 200, and a support arm 101 connected to the fixed component 102, the support arm 101 supports the fixed component 102, and the fixed component 102 is installed on a corresponding structure, such as a handle, a telescopic rod, a rotating structure, etc., through the support arm 101.

[0037] In one embodiment, the shooting auxiliary device further includes a motor disposed between the bracket 100 and the rotating component 200, wherein the fixed end of the motor is fixedly disposed on one, and the rotating end of the motor is connected to the other. Specifically, two schemes are provided: In scheme one, the fixed end of the motor is disposed on the bracket 100, and the motor is connected to the rotating component 200 as the rotating shaft of the rotating end; in scheme two, the fixed end of the motor is disposed on the rotating component 200, and the motor is connected to the bracket 100 as the rotating shaft of the rotating end. When the motor is not working, the rotating component 200 and the bracket 100 can rotate freely, or be limited and immobile, and when the motor is working, it will rotate through the rotating shaft, driving the two to rotate relative to each other.

[0038] In one embodiment, and with reference to Figure 3 The load mounting member 400 includes two clips 410 that can be retracted and clamped to clamp or release an external device, such as a mobile phone.

[0039] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of the clip locking end 310.

[0040] The fixing mechanism includes a first clip 210 and a second clip 220 arranged on the rotating part 200, and the second clip 220 is arranged to move closer to or away from the first clip 210; the locking member 300 includes a clip locking end 310, and the clip locking end 310 limits the movement of the second clip 220 when the locking member 300 is in the first active state.

[0041] The first clip 210 and the second clip 220 are arranged protruding from the end surface of the rotating component 200, and are preferably arranged on the left and right sides of the rotating component 200. The second clip 220 can be arranged to move closer to or farther from the first clip 210. When the second clip 220 is away from the first clip 210, a larger distance is formed between the first clip 210 and the second clip 220 to facilitate the assembly of the load mounting member 400. In addition, when the second clip 220 is close to the first clip 210, especially when the load mounting member 400 has been assembled in place, the first clip 210 and the second clip 220 cooperate to clamp the load mounting member 400 to prevent the load mounting member 400 from being separated. Among them, the first clip 210 can be arranged to be fixed, and the second clip 220 can be arranged to move closer to or farther from the first clip 210.

[0042] In one embodiment, referring to the attached Figure 6 and attached Figure 7The second clip 220 includes a first inclined surface 2201 which is arranged on the outside and obliquely inward, and the clip locking end 310 includes a second inclined surface 3101 which is arranged on the inside and obliquely outward. The clip locking end 310 approaches the first inclined surface 2201 through the second inclined surface 3101 and presses the second clip 220 close to the first clip 210; wherein, the direction toward the installation position of the load mounting member 400 is outward. Specifically, the first inclined surface 2201 and the second inclined surface 3101 are arranged in parallel. When the clamp locking end 310 moves toward the second clamp 220, the second inclined surface 3101 of the clamp locking end 310 gradually moves toward the first inclined surface 2201 and contacts the first inclined surface 2201. Subsequently, the clamp locking end 310 continues to move. Under the pressure of the second inclined surface 3101, the first inclined surface 2201 is subjected to the oblique downward pressure of the second inclined surface 3101. The second clamp 220 moves close to the first clamp 210 and is pressed, thereby fixing the load mounting component 400.

[0043] In one embodiment, and with reference to Figure 6 and Figure 7 An elastic member is provided between the second clip 220 and the rotating member 200, and the elastic member presses the second clip 220 in a direction away from the first clip 210. When the clip locking end 310 presses the second clip 220 close to the first clip 210, the elastic member is in a compressed state, and when the second inclined surface 3101 of the clip locking end 310 releases the first inclined surface 2201, the second clip 220 pops outward under the elastic force of the elastic member, which facilitates the installation of the load mounting member 400. Among them, the second clamp 220 and the rotating part 200 are both provided with relative columns 222 and columns 230, the elastic member is a spring 240, and the two ends of the spring 240 are respectively inserted into the columns 222 and the columns 230, so as to realize the elastic movable connection between the second clamp 220 and the rotating part 200; and, there is a guide structure between the second clamp 220 and the rotating part 200, that is, the second clamp 220 is moved closer to or away from the first clamp 210 relative to the rotating part 200 through the guide structure, while ensuring that the second clamp 220 will not deviate during the movement.

[0044] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 and Figure 6, the first clamp 210 and the second clamp 220 are both provided with claw hooks 221, and the load mounting member 400 is provided with a positioning groove 231 that cooperates with the claw hooks 221. Furthermore, a ring structure or a circular structure 430 is protrudingly provided on the back of the load mounting member 400, and a groove is provided on the side of the ring structure or the circular structure 430 as the positioning groove 231. When the load mounting member 400 is placed on the clamping end face of the rotating component 200, the second clamp 220 moves close to the first clamp 210 and is pressed, so that the claw hooks 221 of the first clamp 210 and the second clamp 220 are stuck in the positioning groove 231, so that the load mounting member 400 is assembled and fixed.

[0045] Among them, and refer to Figure 8 The clamping end face of the rotating component 200 also includes an annular boss 240 arranged on the outer contour, and the annular structure or circular structure 430 of the load mounting member 400 is inserted into the annular boss 240 to realize the positioning of the load mounting member 400; further, a notch 202 is arranged on the annular boss 240, and the annular structure or circular structure 430 of the load mounting member 400 is also provided with a convex block corresponding to the notch, and the direction positioning of the load mounting member 400 is realized through the cooperation between the notch and the convex block, so that the load mounting member 400 is in a standard position when assembled and fixed, which is convenient for the load mounting member 400 to clamp the mobile phone. Among them, the annular boss 240 also includes a notch 201, which is used as an avoidance groove for the assembly of the second clamp 220.

[0046] like Fig. 9 As shown, the present invention provides a preferred embodiment of the rotation locking end 320.

[0047] The bracket 100 is provided with a plurality of limit grooves 120 symmetrically arranged about the center of the rotating shaft 110, and the locking member 300 includes a rotation locking end 320, which is inserted into the limit groove 120 when the locking member 300 is in the second active state to fix the rotating component 200 and the bracket 100. The end of the rotation locking end 320 is composed of three protrusions, which can be inserted into three limit grooves 120 at a time, making the positioning more stable, and the rotation locking end 320 has a longer service life and reduces the risk of breakage.

[0048] The notch of the limiting groove 120 is axially arranged, and the rotating locking end 320 slides into the limiting groove 120 to realize the axial rotation positioning of the rotating component 200 and the bracket 100, so that the rotating component 200 will not rotate relative to the bracket 100. Through the multiple limiting grooves 120 symmetrically arranged around the center of the rotating shaft 110, no matter to which position the rotating component 200 and the bracket 100 rotate relative to each other, rotation positioning can be performed, and the positioning facilitates the assembly of the load mounting component 400.

[0049] In one embodiment, the bracket 100 includes an annular wall and tooth blocks evenly arranged on the annular wall, and the gap between any two of the tooth blocks forms the limiting groove 120. The tooth blocks protrude from the annular wall, but do not extend to the central axis, and there is a certain distance between the two to avoid collision during rotation.

[0052] The locking member 300 includes a clip locking end 310 and a rotating locking end 320 arranged at both ends, and a button rod 330 arranged in the middle. The end of the button rod 330 is also provided with a waist-shaped hole 250. During the movement of the locking member 300, the button rod 330 drives the clip locking end 310 and the rotating locking end 320 to move. The clip locking end 310 presses the second clip 220 or the rotating locking end 320 is inserted into the limiting groove 120. At the same time, the button rod 330 is limited by the waist-shaped hole 250. The button rod 330 is at both ends of the waist-shaped hole 250 when the locking member 300 is in the first active state or the second active state; the first active state is that the clip locking end 310 presses the second clip 220, and the second active state is that the rotating locking end 320 is inserted into the limiting groove 120. Among them, the moving process is preferably forward and backward movement, and the forward and backward direction refers to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 110.

The load mounting component 400 is more stably mounted on the rotating component 200 through the first magnetic structure 500 and the second magnetic structure 420.

[0056] The first magnetic attraction structure 500 and the second magnetic attraction structure 420 may be two single magnets with different magnetic properties, or one may be a magnet and the other may be a metal that can be attracted by a magnet.

[0057] In one embodiment, the first magnetic attraction structure 500 includes a main body 510 and a plurality of magnets 520 disposed on the main body, and the second magnetic attraction structure 420 also includes a main body and a plurality of magnets disposed on the main body. By adjusting the polarity of the magnets, the load mounting member 400 is positioned with the rotating member 200 at a specific steering position. For example, the first magnetic attraction structure 500 and the second magnetic attraction structure 420 are both provided with three magnets in a triangular layout.
