[0018] Further, in some preferred solutions of the embodiments, the hinged end has a hinged portion and a transition rod portion; a groove is concavely provided on the inner wall of the support leg, and the bottom of the groove is concavely provided with the hinged groove; the hinged portion is accommodated in the hinged groove to be hinged with the support leg and can slide in the hinged groove;

[0019] An installation cover is arranged on the inner wall of the support foot to cover the groove, and the installation cover and the groove together form a guide avoidance channel communicated with the hinge groove, and the avoidance channel is used for the transition rod to pass through and move.

[0020] Furthermore, in a preferred solution of some embodiments, a first elastic member is provided in the hinge groove, and one end of the first elastic member abuts against the hinge portion of the hinge end along the length direction of the support leg.

[0021] Furthermore, in preferred solutions of some embodiments, when the movable cover is pressed in the length direction of the main rod, it can move along the main rod and drive the locking end to move, so as to release the locking state of the support leg.

[0022] Further, in the preferred solutions of some embodiments, the bottom end of the main rod is provided with a mounting boss along its axial direction; the movable cover comprises an inner cover body, an outer cover body, a second elastic member and a fastener, the outer end surface of the inner cover body is provided with a mounting groove for the hinged connection of the locking end, and the outer cover body is provided with an avoidance hole for the rib part of the reinforcing rib to pass through and move;

When the supporting leg and the reinforcing rib are both in the retracted state, the supporting leg is manually pressed toward the radial direction of the main rod. Since the hinged end of the reinforcing rib can slide along the length direction of the supporting leg, interference between the supporting leg and the reinforcing rib can be avoided, which is conducive to realizing the buckle connection of the supporting leg to the locking end of the reinforcing rib through the buckle structure.

[0028] In addition, when the support leg is in a locked state, the photographic bracket can also compress the size of the sliding space formed between the support leg and the reinforcement rib through the movable cover to cause the reinforcement rib to deform, or cause the locking end of the reinforcement rib to move with the movable cover, and at the same time cause the hinged end of the movable cover to be subjected to an internal thrust away from the main rod, thereby realizing a prying action mode between the support leg and the locking end of the reinforcement rib, which is conducive to quickly releasing the locking state of the support leg and opening the support leg.

[0029] In general, the photographic bracket and the shooting system having the photographic bracket have a simple and reliable structure, are convenient for storage and transportation, and are convenient for installation and manufacturing. They have low cost, high cost-performance ratio, and good user experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

"Multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0052] In the specification and claims of the present invention and the above-mentioned drawings, when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "mounted on" or "disposed on" or "connected to" another element, it may be directly or indirectly located on the other element. For example, when an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it may be directly or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0053] In addition, reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of the phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0054] The embodiment of the present invention provides a photographing bracket 100, wherein the photographing bracket 100 can be used to install electronic devices with a photographing function, such as mobile phones, tablets, cameras, etc. Of course, in fact, the photographing bracket 100 can also be used to install other suitable products.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the photographic support 100 comprises a main pole 1, a support leg 2, a movable cover 3, a reinforcing rib 4 and a buckle structure 5. The support leg 2 is located at the periphery of the main pole 1 and can be opened or closed relative to the main pole 1. It should be noted that, generally, any structure that can realize the opening or closing of the support leg 2 relative to the main pole 1 is applicable. For example, in this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the main rod 1 includes a support 11 and a rod body (not shown), the support 11 includes a seat body 111 and a guide rod portion 112, wherein the rod body is sequentially plugged into the seat body 111 and the guide rod portion 112, the seat body 111 is connected to the guide rod portion 112, specifically, the seat body 111 can be fixedly connected to the guide rod portion 112, or can be slidably connected to the guide rod portion 112, which is not limited here. Figure 1 As shown, the support leg 2 is located at the periphery of the guide rod 112 and is hinged to the seat body 111 so as to be able to open or close relative to the guide rod 112 and the rod body. Specifically in this embodiment, the rod body (not shown) can be a telescopic rod or a rod of fixed length.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the release of the locking state of the support leg 2 and simplify the overall structure of the photographic support 100, the movable cover 3 is arranged at the bottom end of the main rod 1. Specifically in this embodiment, the movable cover 3 can be specifically arranged at the bottom end of the rod body of the main rod 1.

[0057] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the reinforcing rib 4 has a locking end 41 and a hinged end 42. The locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 is hinged to the movable cover 3, and the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 is hinged to the inner wall of the supporting leg 2, so that the reinforcing rib 4 can be opened or closed together with the supporting leg 2, so that the supporting stability of the supporting leg 2 can be improved by the reinforcing rib 4. In this embodiment, the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 can slide along the length direction 200 of the supporting leg, and a sliding space is formed between the reinforcing rib 4 and the supporting leg 2 (not shown in the figure). It can be understood that during the closing or opening process of the supporting leg 2, the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 can not only be hinged to the inner wall of the supporting leg 2, but also slide on the supporting leg 2 along the length direction 200 of the supporting leg.

[0058] It should be noted that even though the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 can slide along the length direction 200 of the leg in some cases, in the open state, since the force direction of the reinforcing rib 4 supporting the leg 2 is usually at a certain angle to the length direction 200 of the leg, and even the reinforcing rib 4 and the leg 2 can be in a vertical supporting posture, it is easy for the reinforcing rib 4 to press against the leg 2 without sliding and causing unstable support.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to ensure that the support leg 2 does not open easily when the support leg 2 is in the folded state and to simplify the structural installation of the shooting bracket, the buckle structure 5 is located between the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 and the inner wall of the support leg 2. When the support leg 2 is in the folded state, the buckle structure 5 can be mainly used to buckle the support leg 2 to the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4, so that the support leg 2 is in the locked state.

[0060] It can be understood that when the support leg 2 and the reinforcement rib 4 are both in the folded state, the support leg 2 and the reinforcement rib 4 are both arranged along the length direction 200 of the support leg. When the user connects the bracket in the folded state to the locking end 41 of the reinforcement rib 4 through the snap structure 5, the hinged end 42 of the reinforcement rib 4 will slide a certain distance in the sliding space along the length direction 200 of the support leg to prevent the reinforcement rib 4 from abutting against the support leg 2 during the snap connection 52, thereby preventing the support leg 2 and the reinforcement rib 4 from being able to achieve a snap connection.

[0061] In addition, the movable cover 3 can release the locking state of the support leg 2 and open it by compressing the size of the above-mentioned sliding space. It can be understood that when the support leg 2 is buckled and connected to the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 by the buckle structure 5 so that the support leg 2 is in a locked state, the user can operate the movable cover 3 to deform the reinforcing rib 4 hinged to the movable cover 3, or make the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 move with the movable cover 3, and at the same time make the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 give the inner wall of the support leg 2 an internal thrust away from the main rod 1, which is equivalent to simulating a breaking action mode of pulling the support leg 2 and the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 outward, thereby realizing the release of the buckle 52 between the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 and the support leg 2, and making the support leg 2 open.

[0062] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, at least three legs 2 are usually provided, and the legs 2 are evenly arranged around the main rod 1, that is, a tripod, a quadripod, etc. can be formed. Specifically in the present embodiment, a buckle structure 5 is provided between each leg 2 and its corresponding reinforcing rib 4. In this way, when the movable cover 3 is operated, all the legs 2 can be unlocked at the same time. Of course, in other embodiments, a buckle structure 5 can also be provided between one of the legs 2 and its corresponding reinforcing rib 4, so that when the movable cover 3 is operated, all the legs 2 can be conveniently opened by unlocking the leg 2. Specifically in the present embodiment, three legs 2 are provided, wherein the locking ends 41 of the three legs 2 and their corresponding reinforcing ribs 4 are all locked by a buckle connection with the buckle structure 5.

[0063] In summary, compared with the prior art, the photographic bracket 100 has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0064] The photographic support 100 has a function of being able to fold, and a newly added function that the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 can slide along the length direction 200 of the leg, and the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 is arranged on the movable cover 3, so that the movable cover 3 can compress the size of the sliding space formed between the leg 2 and the reinforcing rib 4, so as to form an action mode of breaking open the buckle structure 5, realize the release of the locking state of the leg 2, and open the leg 2. In general, the photographic support 100 has a simple and reliable structure, is convenient for storage and transportation, and is convenient for installation and manufacturing, has low cost, high cost performance, and good user experience.

[0065] Embodiment 1 of the photographic support 100 of the present invention

[0066] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the present invention, Figures 1 to 12 , clearly and completely describes the technical solution in embodiment 1 of the present invention.

[0067] Furthermore, as a specific implementation method in Example 1 of the present invention, when the movable cover 3 is pressed in the length direction of the main rod 1, it can move along the main rod 1 to compress the size of the sliding space between the reinforcing rib 4 and the supporting leg 2, and in the process of the movable cover 3 moving, the movable cover 3 can also drive the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 to move along the length direction of the main rod 1. At the same time, the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 will be deflected away from the main rod 1 under the linkage of the locking end 41 to press against the inner wall of the supporting leg 2. In this way, the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 and the supporting leg 2 fixedly connected by the snap structure 5 will be separated by a pulling force similar to prying the two apart, thereby releasing the locked state of the supporting leg 2.

[0068] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the movable cover 3 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the main rod 1 along the length direction 200 of the support leg. When the support leg 2 is in a locked state, because the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 can slide along the length direction 200 of the support leg, the movable cover 3 has space to press down along the length direction of the main rod 1, that is, the movable cover 3 has the possibility of squeezing the size of the above sliding space. It should be noted that, if Figure 1 As shown, the pressing direction 300 of the movable cover 3 is generally along the length direction of the main rod 1 toward the support 11 of the main rod 1 .

[0069] Furthermore, as a specific implementation method in Example 1 of the present invention, in order to achieve a fixed connection between the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 and the supporting leg 2 through the snap-on structure 5, the snap-on structure 5 includes a slot and a snap-on that can be snap-connected to each other, wherein the slot is opened at one of the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 and the inner wall of the supporting leg 2, and correspondingly, the snap-on is arranged at the other of the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 and the inner wall of the supporting leg 2.

[0070] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 , Fig.12 As shown, a buckle 52 is convexly provided at a position on the inner wall of the support leg 2 corresponding to the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4, and correspondingly, a slot 51 is provided on the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4. In other words, the buckle 52 of the buckle structure 5 is provided on the inner wall of the support leg 2, and the slot 51 is provided on the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4. Preferably, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to facilitate the buckle 52 on the inner wall of the bracket to be inserted into the slot 51 on the reinforcing rib 4, the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 is formed with a guiding arc surface 411.

[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the buckle in the buckle structure 5 can be set at the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 , and correspondingly, the locking groove can be opened on the inner wall of the supporting leg 2 .

[0072] Further, as a specific implementation in the first embodiment of the present invention, the reinforcing rib 4 is a strip-shaped piece that is elastic or has a part that is elastic. In other words, the entire reinforcing rib 4 is elastic, or a part of the reinforcing rib 4 can be elastic. In this way, when the support leg 2 is in a locked state and it is necessary to release the buckle connection between the support leg 2 and the reinforcing rib 4 by pressing the movable cover 3, since at least a part of the reinforcing rib 4 is elastic, when the movable cover 3 is pressed, the movable cover 3 has space to move along the pressing direction 300, so that the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 can move more smoothly along the pressing direction 300 with the movable cover 3.

[0073] It should be noted that, considering that the reinforcing rib 4 mainly serves to strengthen the supporting stability of the supporting leg 2, when only a part of the reinforcing rib 4 is elastic, usually the middle part of the reinforcing rib 4 or the part close to the locking end 41 is elastic, so as to conveniently improve the supporting stability of the photographic bracket 100.

[0074] Further, as a specific implementation of Example 1 of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig.11 As shown, in order to hinge the hinge end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 to the inner wall of the supporting leg 2, a hinge groove 21 is provided on the inner wall of the supporting leg 2, wherein the hinge end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 is hinged to the supporting leg 2 in the hinge groove 21, and the hinge end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 can slide in the hinge groove 21 along the length direction 200 of the supporting leg. It should be noted that the hinge end 42 is adapted to the hinge groove 21.

[0075] Specifically in this embodiment, in order to simplify the overall structure and facilitate installation and manufacturing, preferably, as Figures 3 to 5 , Fig.11 As shown, the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 has a hinged portion 421 and a transition rod portion 422; a groove 22 is recessed on the inner wall of the supporting leg 2, and a hinged groove 21 is recessed at the bottom of the groove 22, wherein the hinged portion 421 of the hinged end 42 is accommodated in the hinged groove 21 to be hinged with the supporting leg 2 and can slide in the hinged groove 21.

[0076] In addition, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a mounting cover 23 is provided on the inner wall of the support leg 2 to cover the groove 22, and the mounting cover 23 and the groove 22 together form an escape channel 24, wherein the escape channel 24 is communicated with the hinge groove 21, and is mainly used for the transition rod 422 to pass through and move, so as to guide the movement of the transition rod 422. It can be understood that when the hinge 421 of the hinge end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 is hinged and moved with the hinge groove 21, the transition rod 422 can swing along the escape channel 24. Similarly, when the hinge 421 slides in the hinge groove 21, the transition rod 422 can slide along the escape channel 24.

[0077] Further, as a specific implementation of Example 1 of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Fig.11 As shown, a first elastic member 25 is arranged in the hinge groove 21 of the support leg 2, wherein one end of the first elastic member 25 (specifically, the end close to the above-mentioned avoidance channel 24) can abut against the hinge portion 421 of the hinge end 42 of the reinforcement rib 4 along the length direction 200 of the support leg.

[0078] It should be noted that when the support leg 2 needs to be folded, the user can move the support leg 2 toward the support seat 11 of the main rod 1, so that the support leg 2 enters a locked state through the buckle connection of the buckle structure 5. When the support leg 2 is in a locked state and needs to be opened, the user can press the movable cover 3 along the pressing direction 300 to unlock the support leg 2 from the locked state. In the process of unlocking the buckle connection of the buckle structure 5, the movable cover 3 drives the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 to move along the pressing direction 300, thereby causing the hinged end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4 to squeeze the first elastic member 25, and the first elastic member 25 accordingly gives the hinged end 42 an opposite elastic force, so that after the buckle connection of the buckle structure 5 is unlocked, under the action of the opposite elastic force of the first elastic member 25, the movable cover 3 will return to the state before pressing under the action of the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4. In addition, when the support leg 2 is in the open state, since the first elastic member 25 is provided in the sliding direction of the hinge end 42 of the reinforcing rib 4, it can be further ensured that the support leg 2 will not slide easily.

[0079] In short, by arranging the first elastic member 25 in the hinge groove 21, it can be ensured that the support leg 2 can be opened more smoothly after being unlocked, and can be firmly supported when opened, which is conducive to enhancing the user's experience.

[0080] Further, as a specific implementation of the first embodiment of the present invention, in order to set the movable cover 3 on the bottom end of the main rod 1 and facilitate the installation and manufacturing of the photographic bracket 100, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, the bottom end of the main rod 1 is provided with a mounting boss 13 along its axial direction. Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 7 , Fig.10 As shown, the movable cover 3 includes an inner cover body 31, an outer cover body 32, a second elastic member 33 and a fastener 34, wherein a mounting groove 311 is recessed on the outer end surface of the inner cover body 31 (specifically, the side facing the support platform), wherein the mounting groove 311 is mainly used for the hinge connection of the locking end 41. Correspondingly, an avoidance hole 321 is opened on the outer cover body 32 for the rib part of the reinforcing rib 4 to pass through and move.

[0081] It can be understood that the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 is hinged to the inner cover body 31 of the movable cover 3, and the rib portion can pass through the avoidance hole 321 of the outer cover body 32. In addition, specifically in this embodiment, at the position corresponding to the avoidance hole 321, such as Figure 6 As shown, a notch groove 14 is provided on the rod body of the main rod 1, so that the reinforcing rib 4 can be close to the outer peripheral wall of the rod body after being folded.

[0082] For example Figure 6 and Fig.10 As shown, in order to enable the movable cover 3 to be slidably set on the bottom end of the main rod 1, the inner cover body 31 and the outer cover body 32 are movably inserted in sequence into the mounting boss 13 which is sleeved with the second elastic member 33, the outer cover body 32 is movably sleeved on the rod portion of the main rod 1 (specifically, it can be the rod body of the main rod 1), and the fastener 34 is threadedly connected to the mounting boss 13 or threadedly connected to the bottom end of the main rod 1 from one side of the outer cover body 32.

[0083] In this way, on the one hand, when the outer cover body 32 of the movable cover 3 is pressed along the pressing direction 300, the outer cover body 32 can move along the length direction of the rod portion of the main rod 1, and during the movement of the outer cover body 32, the inner cover body 31 will be squeezed by the outer cover body 32 and will also move accordingly, and drive the locking end 41 of the reinforcing rib 4 connected to the inner cover body 31 to move together, so that the support leg 2 is unlocked from the locked state to facilitate opening.

[0084] On the other hand, when the outer cover body 32 moves along the pressing direction 300, the second elastic member 33 will be squeezed. After the support foot 2 is unlocked, the movable cover 3 can increase the elastic force of restoration under the action of the rebound force of the second elastic member 33 itself, so that even when the rebound force of the first elastic member 25 on the support foot 2 is small, the movable cover 3 can still be restored by the second elastic member 33.

[0085] It can be understood that the unlocking function of the movable cover 3 is mainly achieved through the joint cooperation of the movable cover 3, the reinforcing rib 4 and the support foot 2, and its reset function is mainly achieved through the joint cooperation of the second elastic member 33 of the movable cover 3 itself and the inner cover body 31, the outer cover body 32, etc., which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the movable cover 3 and improve the user's experience.

[0086] It should be noted that, specifically in this embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the rod portion of the main rod 1 (specifically, the rod body mentioned above) is also provided with a guide groove 15 along its length direction. Correspondingly, a guide protrusion 312 is convexly provided on the peripheral wall of the inner cover body 31, wherein the guide protrusion 312 extends along the length direction of the inner cover body 31, and the guide protrusion 312 is movably inserted into the guide groove 15. In this way, when the outer cover body 32 of the movable cover 3 is pressed and moves, the inner cover body 31 can be guided by the movement of the guide protrusion 312 in the guide groove 15 to guide the movement of the inner cover body 31.

[0087] In addition, if Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, an anti-rotation boss 313 is convexly provided on the outer end surface of the inner cover body 31, and correspondingly, an anti-rotation groove (not shown) is concavely provided on the inner end surface of the outer cover body 32, wherein the anti-rotation boss 313 is inserted into the anti-rotation groove and adapted to the anti-rotation groove to prevent relative rotation between the inner cover body 31 and the outer cover body 32. It should be noted that, specifically in this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the anti-rotation boss 313 is a triangle, and of course, in other embodiments, it can also be other suitable shapes, such as a pentagon, an irregular shape, etc.

[0088] For example Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, in order to facilitate the user to press the movable cover 3 and considering the overall appearance of the photographic support 100, a pressing protrusion 322 is convexly provided on the outer end surface of the outer cover body 32, and correspondingly, the movable cover 3 also includes a decorative cover 35, wherein the decorative cover 35 is covered on the outer end surface of the pressing protrusion 322. The decorative cover 35 is adapted to the pressing protrusion 322. Specifically in this embodiment, there are three legs 2, and the cross-sectional shape of the pressing protrusion 322 is a triangle, wherein each leg 2 can correspond to a side surface of the pressing protrusion 322 after being folded, and the gap formed by each leg 2 can be just covered by the covering of the decorative cover 35.

[0089] Specifically in this embodiment, Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10As shown, in order to further ensure the structural reliability and ease of installation of the photographic bracket 100, a mounting seat 12 is provided at the bottom end of the main rod 1 (specifically, the end of the rod body of the main rod 1), and a mounting boss 13 is provided in the middle part of the mounting seat 12; a countersunk hole 323 is provided in the middle part of the outer cover body 32 (specifically, the pressing protrusion 322 of the outer cover body 32), and the mounting boss 13 is provided with a first through hole 131 along its axial direction, and a threaded hole 121 is provided on the mounting seat 12, wherein the mounting boss 13 can be inserted into the countersunk hole 323 (that is, the outer cover body 32 is movably sleeved on the mounting boss 13), and the fastener 34 passes through the first through hole 131 from the countersunk hole 323 and is threadedly inserted into the threaded hole 121, thereby ensuring that the movable cover 3 is slidably set on the bottom end of the main rod 1.
